Chapter 1420: Bitter Cultivation

White light moved, and the jade bottle appeared strangely under the hole, and the silver liquid transformed into a silver thread and dripped directly into the bottle mouth.

A strange scene appeared!

As the silver liquid flowed out, the young toad's body shrank and shriveled accordingly.

Not much silver liquid flowed out from the corpse, and in a short while, it flowed clean, while the corpse shrank by nearly half.

Han Li's eyebrows stirred, and he opened his mouth, spraying out a silver fireball, which struck the corpse.

With a "pu-chi" sound, the young toad immediately turned into a pile of fly ash and ceased to exist.

But after the silver flame vanished, many silver droplets the size of rice grains were left in the void.

It was Han Li relying on the supreme yin and supreme yang power of the Devouring Spirit Heavenly Fire to easily refine the residual blood liquid hidden in the young toad's body.

Shaking his long sleeves, a green light flew out.

After green light flashed, the light condensed all the droplets together, transforming into a silver ball the size of a fist, and then wrapped it and sent it into the jade bottle.

Han Li could not urge the True Toad Beast's spiritual blood to grow, so naturally, he was unwilling to waste even a drop.

In this way, Han Li processed all the Green-Eyed True Toad Beast corpses in the same way in one breath, filling several jade bottles with the legendary True Toad blood.

Only then did he let out a breath and finally feel at ease.

Now that the True Toad blood was obtained, he was not in a hurry to refine the True Toad liquid first. Instead, he needed to cultivate his cultivation base to the peak state of the Spirit Transformation mid-stage first, and break through the bottleneck of this realm.

Speaking of which, the path of dual cultivation of magic and body he chose seemed to be really not wrong.

With a strong physical body and a large amount of pills, for other cultivators, it might take several hundred years to reach this realm, but he might be able to cultivate to it in a hundred or even a few decades. The only trouble was the breakthrough of the bottleneck, which might take some more time.

Thus, Han Li released several giant ape puppets, and then touched his head to release the Second Nascent Soul, letting it be responsible for managing everything in the cave dwelling's herb garden. He himself closed the secret room door and began to cultivate inside with focus.

With a sufficient supply of pills, plus the constant consumption of spiritual fruits like Dragon Scale Fruit, and the assistance of miraculous techniques like the Tempering Bone Technique, Han Li's magic power became thicker and thicker day by day, and his physical body became stronger and stronger.

During this period, besides bitter cultivation of the Brahma Saint True Demon Technique, after refining his hands with the Meta-Magnetic Divine Mountain and the Five-Child Concentric Demon, he also began to melt the seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords into the bones of his body's vital points one by one according to the Hundred Veins Refining Treasure Technique.

If he could truly refine them successfully, not to mention anything else, combined with the power of the Brahma Saint True Demon Technique, the defensive power of these vital points would absolutely reach an unimaginable realm.

I am afraid that even a direct strike from a Void Refinement-level cultivator could be taken head-on with the physical body as if nothing had happened.

Of course, this was very different from the refining of his hands; the

Thus, the door to the secret chamber where Han Li was located remained tightly shut from then on. Only every few years would the Second Nascent Soul transform into a mass of phantom shadows and directly merge into the walls to enter and exit, delivering some spiritual medicines and spiritual fruits to Han Li!

Months passed, years flowed by, and in the blink of an eye, sixty years had passed.

One day, on another small mountain more than ten miles away from the giant mountain where Han Li's cave dwelling was located, two masses of black and yellow demon energy flickered in and out of existence on the mountaintop, and faint sounds of speech actually emerged from within, as if demon creatures were discussing something.

In the black energy, two silver eyes blinked incessantly, while in the yellow energy, there was a single crimson eye, shining brightly.

The two demons seemed to have seen through the concealment illusion array Han Li had set up outside the door of his cave dwelling, and they kept peering at it incessantly.

However, the two demons also seemed to have great misgivings about Han Li's cave dwelling, so they did not make a move immediately; instead, they dispersed after talking for a short while.

Three days later, several masses of demon energy gathered again in the air outside Han Li's cave dwelling. This time, these demon creatures did not hide their figures; instead, they brazenly stirred up a demon wind, and thousands of various fierce beasts and strange insects appeared on the ground, gathering together aggressively, actually brazenly attacking Han Li's cave dwelling.

The several demon creatures that appeared in the air also had various forms. One was a giant three-headed green-patterned python, with one large and two small heads, looking extremely ferocious; one was a giant wild boar with a body size of six or seven zhang, with a pair of giant tusks shining with silver light, actually appearing as if they were forged from pure silver. The last two demon creatures were somewhat similar to the two leading demon creatures in the beast horde battle Han Li had seen that day; one was a giant golden-furred ape several zhang tall, shining brilliantly all over, holding a giant pitch-black fork in one hand, while the other was a small, strange beast with a cow's head and a lion's body, only a few feet long, but emerald green and dripping, as if it were carved from jade.

If Han Li were here, he would naturally see at a glance that these demon creatures were actually those sixth or seventh-level demon beasts he had once detected in the nearby mountain ranges.

And among these demon beasts, the cow-headed monster had the strongest strength, already at the peak of the seventh-level demon beast stage, only one step away from entering the ranks of transformed demon beasts.

These demon beasts had gathered together for some unknown reason, actually coming to attack his cave dwelling.

But even though Han Li was currently in seclusion and ignored everything in the outside world, the restrictions he had set up as a Spirit Transformation cultivator were not something these mid-level demon beasts, who only relied on instinct to cultivate their abilities, could break.

Driven by the several demon creatures in the air, the horde of beasts and poisonous insects had just aggressively broken through the outermost illusion array when they immediately triggered the defensive magic array Han Li had set up.

Suddenly, blue light surged on the opposite side, followed by a violent wind, with flying sand and rolling stones; hundreds of giant rocks whistled from the wind, and after a rumbling earth-shaking sound, a portion of the fierce beasts were instantly smashed into meat paste.

The beast horde was instantly in chaos, and some simply wanted to go back on their word and flee.

But the cow-headed demon creature in the air saw this and suddenly opened its mouth, emitting a long, sharp screech. The beast horde below felt their bones soften and their strength drain upon hearing it, each one trembling in fear. The other three demon creatures also bared their fangs and brandished their claws, emitting threatening sounds.

With no other choice, the beast horde turned back and could only bite the bullet and charge toward the blue light on the opposite side again.

As a result, after another violent wind, no more giant rocks flew out from within; instead, countless blue wind blades shot out with sharp, piercing sounds, densely packed and impossible to avoid.

Instantly, thousands of demon beasts, after a burst of ghost-like wailing and wolf-like howling, either had their heads rolling off or their entire bodies slashed into seven or eight pieces. By the time the violent wind subsided again, there were not even a few hundred beasts left alive. And these wild beasts, even though their intelligence had not been opened, were all scared out of their wits, unable to even stand steadily on the spot. Unable to control themselves any longer, they turned and fled one after another.

The several demon creatures overhead could not help but look at each other in dismay upon seeing this.

Suddenly, the cow-headed demon creature opened its mouth and actually spat out a woman's voice that was exceptionally pleasant, extremely clear, but it was not any language known to the human or demon races.

The other three demon creatures also conversed in the same language.

A moment later, they seemed to have finished their discussion, and then the four demon beasts ignored the fleeing beasts, each stirring up a rolling demon wind, but halfway there, they suddenly merged into one, transforming into a pitch-black hurricane, crashing aggressively toward Han Li's cave dwelling.

These demon creatures actually intended to rely on brute force to break the magic array Han Li had set up.

If these demon beasts all had the strength of eighth-level demon beasts or higher, there might be a slight possibility, but how could existences with only sixth or seventh-level strength shake the restrictions set up by Han Li, a Spirit Transformation cultivator, even in the slightest?

Immediately, the color of the light in front of the cave dwelling changed suddenly, actually transforming into a five-colored state on its own, rolling forward to meet them without any politeness.

As a result, the moment the black hurricane came into contact with the five-colored light, amidst the intertwining and flashing light, it was immediately stirred into powder.

Instantly, the black hurricane split apart, and the four demon creatures immediately fled in all directions, gathering again in the air to look down, each one revealing a look of shock.

Although they had not directly clashed with this five-colored light, the terrifying aura contained within it made these demon creatures all tremble with fear.

Immediately, after whispering a few more words, they transformed into four masses of demon wind and retreated one after another.

From then on, not only did no demon creatures approach Han Li's cave dwelling, but even within a hundred miles of the giant mountain where the cave dwelling was located, not even a single bird or beast could be seen...

From beginning to end, the door to Han Li's cave dwelling remained closed, with no sign of opening at all.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another thirty-plus years passed.

Suddenly, a long screech like a dragon's roar emerged from the door of the secret chamber, followed by a loud rumbling sound, and the door to the secret chamber actually burst open.

Looking from outside the door, in the middle of the secret chamber, there was a mass of golden light that was dazzling and eye-catching, and Han Li was actually sitting cross-legged within it, with a three-headed, six-armed golden phantom shadow appearing on his back.

This phantom shadow was also in the golden light, its face still blurry, but it was clearly much more realistic than before, and it sat cross-legged just like Han Li, while its six arms each pinched a different spell.

Suddenly, Han Li and the golden phantom shadow's figure trembled simultaneously, and a circle of golden ripples surged out from the light, sweeping onto the nearby walls of the secret chamber. Instantly, five-colored light flashed, and the secret chamber emitted a rumbling sound, then shook incessantly.

Han Li, in the golden light, revealed a trace of pain on his face, with sweat beads the size of beans covering his forehead. The giant golden light actually shook incessantly, bringing the golden phantom shadow on his back to also become blurry and unstable amidst the shaking.

With a "crack" sound, the golden light actually split from the middle like a mirror, creating a long, thin gap, and affected by this, the three-headed, six-armed golden phantom shadow also instantly shattered inch by inch, dissipating into thin air and vanishing.

Han Li let out a long breath, the pain on his face vanished, and the entire secret chamber returned to calm.

After an unknown amount of time, Han Li finally opened his eyes, but a trace of a bitter smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
