Chapter 1349

Han Li's Azure Origin Sword Art had already been cultivated to the extreme and could not advance any further. Net

Although other divine abilities were exceptionally powerful, the Meta-Magnetic Divine Light would increase in power with the growth of his cultivation base after being cultivated to completion. And the Spirit-Devouring Heavenly Fire divine ability relied on his own evolution to enhance its might, neither of which could provide any substantial help in promoting the increase of his cultivation base.

And without suitable cultivation techniques to guide his cultivation, a cultivator would naturally explode from having too much spiritual energy in their body just by taking spirit pills.

Han Li now had two paths to take if he wanted to advance his cultivation base by another level.

One was to follow other ordinary cultivators and find another set of high-tier cultivation techniques to continue cultivating. However, switching to unfamiliar cultivation techniques halfway would naturally involve a lot of pondering and comprehension. And if one wasn't careful, it could also cause conflicts with the original cultivation techniques, resulting in half the work for twice the result.

The other cultivation method, however, was one Han Li only learned about after reading many insights from body-refining cultivators, a path rarely taken.

That was to cultivate both magic and body, to find high-tier cultivation techniques related to body refining from the Demon Sect or the demon race.

Because once cultivation techniques related to the Demon Sect or demon race were cultivated to a high level, while strengthening the physical body, they could simultaneously promote the refinement of magic power.

However, such cultivation techniques were not only rare in the outside world but also exceptionally difficult to cultivate. Although there were human cultivators who chose this path, very few were able to succeed.

The fundamental reason was naturally that the potential of the human body was inherently unable to compare with that of the demon race or ancient demons. Unless one was exceptionally gifted, it was rare to be able to advance again after cultivating the physical body to a certain level of strength.

But once one truly cultivated both magic and body to an extremely high level, not only would their strength be astonishing, but the probability of breaking through bottlenecks would also far exceed that of fellow cultivators who cultivated ordinary cultivation techniques.

This made it difficult for Han Li to make a choice.

Speaking of which, he happened to hold such a set of cultivation techniques for cultivating both magic and body, exactly the "Tuo Tian Demon Art" that echoed the Ming Wang Art, and a series of cultivation techniques on the "Fan Sheng True Fragments."

Han Li had already confirmed that these three sets of cultivation techniques were indeed complementary.

The three sets of cultivation techniques could be cultivated separately, each possessing divine abilities, or they could be treated as a complete set of cultivation techniques and cultivated step by step.

If cultivated separately, without the foundation of the previous techniques, the true power of the latter two could not be unleashed even by one or two percent. Starting from scratch, they would be restored to a powerful set of cultivation techniques for cultivating both magic and body. Although this set of cultivation techniques originated from a set of extremely powerful demon arts in the True Demon Realm, after being deleted and changed by countless experts from the human Buddhist sect, Demon Sect, and demon race, they were naturally already vastly different. The energy injected into the body was no longer True Demon Qi, but had been replaced by Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.

Although Han Li had studied them himself and felt that cultivating the three sets of techniques together should be feasible, in reality, no one had ever truly cultivated this set of techniques he held.

Because the Buddhist Ming Wang Art and the Demon Sect's Tuo Tian Demon Art were originally modified as independent cultivation techniques when cultivated, and the cultivation techniques on the Fan Sheng True Fragments, as the inheritance cultivation techniques of the demon king in the human world, lacked the first two parts, it was thought that they wouldn't be exactly the same as the Ming Wang Art and the Tuo Tian Demon Art.

So what problems would be encountered during cultivation after this pieced-together set of cultivation techniques was cultivated, I'm afraid only Heaven knows.

However, there was no doubt that this set of Fan Sheng True Fragments cultivation techniques was absolutely far beyond the general meaning of cultivation techniques for cultivating both magic and body. With the Ming Wang Art he had cultivated, his physical body alone was strong enough to rival a Nascent Soul cultivator. After truly cultivating the latter two parts, the power would be unimaginable.

Cultivating magic power alone and cultivating both magic and body, these two cultivation paths each had their own advantages and disadvantages. One had faster progress in the early stages, was easier to cultivate, and was relatively reliable. The other was exceptionally difficult to cultivate and had certain risks, but the power after cultivation was extremely strong, and the probability of advancing in later cultivation far exceeded the former.

Because of this, Han Li had been hesitant until now and had not made a true decision.

And he had always been keeping an eye out for high-tier cultivation techniques cultivated through ordinary paths, but he had never encountered suitable ones in the market. It wasn't that there were no high-tier cultivation techniques for the Void Refinement stage, but after possessing divine abilities like the Meta-Magnetic Divine Light and the Spirit-Devouring Heavenly Fire, ordinary cultivation techniques simply couldn't catch his eye.

Hence, it was only after hearing about the cultivation techniques left behind by a great predecessor at the late stage of the Body Integration stage that he became so moved.

If this cultivation technique was truly very suitable, then giving up the not-so-smooth path of cultivating both magic and body would be fine.

While Han Li was pondering with an unsettled mind, the old man Chi on the auction stage had already auctioned off all the pills in the hands of the ten palace-dressed women in one breath, at a price more than double the starting price.

After each pill was auctioned off, the female cultivator holding the brocade box would lightly send the pill directly to the flying room, collect the spirit stones, and then return to the high stage.

Most of them were similar to the "Huanxin Pill," pills useful only to early-stage Spirit Severing cultivators.

There were only two types of pills for the mid-stage, and as for pills useful for the late-stage, not a single one was seen.

This was not strange!

Even if the spiritual energy in the Spirit Realm was dense and various spirit herbs were abundant, the raw materials needed for pills above the Spirit Severing stage still mostly had to be obtained from the wild world. If cultivated artificially, it either took too long or was extremely difficult to grow.

In this way, naturally, pills above the Spirit Severing stage were rarely seen.

Moreover, the higher the level of the pill, the lower the probability of successful refining.

Even if there were late-stage pills successfully refined, which cultivator wouldn't keep them for their own consumption? Who would be willing to auction them on the stage?

This was also in Heaven Abyss City, where various pill-refining materials were exceptionally abundant; otherwise, even early-stage Spirit Severing pills would be hard to see, let alone mid-stage pills.

Once these pills were auctioned off, with a wave of the old man's hand, those women who had originally been empty-handed immediately flipped their palms and took out wooden boxes with different styles from their storage bracelets.

Opening the wooden boxes, they still contained jade bottles of different styles, still pills.

But these pills were not spirit pills for enhancing cultivation, but holy pills for detoxifying, healing, and the like.

Immediately, another round of bidding began.

These pills were clearly not as popular as the first batch. Although they were also auctioned off, the price was far lower than that of the first batch of pills.

For every cultivator, spirit pills for enhancing cultivation were the more the better, while auxiliary rescue-type spirit herbs only needed to be prepared for backup. Naturally, there wouldn't be overly intense bidding.

However, after this batch of pills was auctioned off, when the ten female cultivators took out wooden boxes pasted with two restriction talismans from their storage bracelets again, the atmosphere in the hall, which had been slightly low, immediately rose again.

After these restriction talismans were torn off one by one, finished treasures shimmering with spiritual light of various colors were presented to everyone.

There were common items like flying swords and flying knives, as well as top-tier ancient treasures with rare forms like seals, plaques, and mirrors.

The old man in white robes then grabbed a wooden box from the crowd in the void, and suddenly a bronze-colored token was captured in his hand.

The old man tossed the token into the air, pinched a magic formula with both hands, and struck it onto it.

After the token spun, three phantom shadows suddenly shot out from it, actually turning into three giant pythons five or six zhang long, coiling in the nearby air in blue, red, and white colors, exceptionally ferocious!

"Poison Python Token, refined using the essence souls of three ancient python-type beasts as the main materials, can drive the essence souls to appear and fight the enemy. With the three pythons joining forces, they are not inferior to three Nascent Soul stage helpers. It can be considered a rare strange treasure. Starting price 2 million spirit stones. Each increment must not be less than 100,000!" The old man in white robes stopped his incantation and loudly introduced the origin and divine ability of the token.

"2 million!" Although three Nascent Soul stage helpers didn't count for much in the eyes of Spirit Severing cultivators, if used at a critical moment, they could still win by surprise in a fight, so cultivators who were interested immediately started bidding.

"2.2 million" After a slight cold spell, someone else also took a fancy to this treasure and started competing for it.

"2.3 million"

One treasure after another was auctioned off. After two waves, the last two were actually top-tier existences at the Spirit Treasure level, pushing the price to an unbelievable level.

Although they were only the lowest-tier Spirit Treasures, even Void Refinement stage cultivators couldn't help but bid for them.

Each additional Spirit Treasure could increase their confidence when facing the Great Heavenly Tribulation. Speaking of which, the final auction items of past auctions were mostly existences of this level.

However, some Void Refinement cultivators remained cold and watched from the sidelines, not bidding even once, clearly aiming for the final three treasures.

Although they could all be called Spirit Treasures, compared to Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures that could make it onto the Chaos Myriad Spirit List, the difference was as vast as heaven and earth. Naturally, anyone who had the power to bid wouldn't easily give up.

Han Li didn't participate in any of this, sitting quietly in the stone room the whole time.

But when it was the turn of various rare materials and secret manuals to be auctioned, he finally felt a lift in his spirit and began to pay attention.

One rare material and one secret manual after another were auctioned off in a flash.

When the sound of "a jar of True Toad Spirit Blood" came from the mouth of the old man in white robes, a look of joy finally appeared on Han Li's face.

The purpose of his participation in this auction was naturally for this item.

However, when the old man in white robes shouted the starting price of 1.5 million spirit stones, the corners of Han Li's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

This was the highest starting price among all the rare materials sold before.

Han Li hesitated for a moment, not yet having thought about how many spirit stones he should bid to take down this jar of spirit liquid, when suddenly a price shouted from a flying room in a corner of the hall made his heart sink.

"3 million spirit stones!" A lazy voice came from a remote corner of the hall.

The other cultivators who had originally wanted to bid suddenly fell silent, and all looked over in surprise at the same time.

Unfortunately, there were restrictions in the flying rooms, so naturally, nothing could be seen.

True Toad Spirit Blood was a necessary material for refining True Toad Liquid, but the price of 3 million naturally exceeded the bidding limit of most people.

For a time, the hall fell into a deathly silence.

Han Li also frowned, looking at the jar of spirit blood in the hands of the old man in white robes on the auction stage, his expression uncertain.
