Chapter 1547: New Qing Yuan Sword Scripture
"Such a major matter, how could Han joke with the two of you." Han Li straightened his expression.
"If there is really a way to have the best of both worlds, that would naturally be best. Brother Han, please speak directly." Yan Li said with great joy.
"Actually, this matter doesn't need us to worry at all. The two fellow Daoists just need to tell Senior Jiang your difficulties directly. Did the two fellow Daoists forget that he is an unfathomable existence at the Body Integration stage? Things that are extremely difficult for us, which might take countless years to accomplish, might be just a lift of a finger for a Body Integration stage cultivator. Even if there is no way to reverse your ghost bodies immediately, there must be means to keep you from continuing to transform into ghosts. Why don't the two fellow Daoists ask first before making a decision?" Han Li said with a smile.
After hearing Han Li's words, Yuan Yao and Yan Li were both moved.
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Han! The two of us were confused by the situation and didn't think of such a simple matter." Yan Li said with a hint of excitement.
Yuan Yao thought about it and nodded.
"To be honest, besides this matter, I have some other concerns about Yuan becoming Senior Jiang's disciple." Han Li hesitated for a moment and suddenly said this.
"Brother Han, what do you mean by this..." Yan Li asked, stunned.
Yuan Yao's beautiful eyes also stared at Han Li, not blinking at all.
Han Li laughed, didn't say anything immediately, but flipped his hand, and a black thing appeared in his palm.
It instantly expanded to a size of a foot.
It was the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.
With a flick of his wrist, the small mountain turned into a black light and flew towards the top of the stone house. As it spun, it released patches of gray glow, covering all three of them.
Looking at the gray light shield formed outside, the two women were a bit surprised, but neither asked anything immediately.
Only then did Han Li say calmly:
"This is the Origin Magnetic Divine Light I practice. Although it's not worth mentioning in front of a Body Integration stage cultivator, it's impossible for any divine sense to invade it without me knowing. What I'm about to say to the two fellow Daoists might be a bit disrespectful to Senior Jiang, but Han has always been a small person before a gentleman, so I still have to remind the two of you. Fellow Daoist Yan, you want Yuan to become Senior Jiang's disciple, but have you ever thought that what if this Senior actually has other purposes besides wanting to use Yuan's power to resist some tribulation, or if the method to resist the tribulation is extremely harmful to Yuan herself or even life-threatening? How will you handle it?"
The two women looked at each other, not showing any surprise. Yan Li instead gave a forced smile and said.
"Brother Han's words are a bit too much. With Senior Jiang's Body Integration stage status, how could he deceive us."
Han Li raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, stared at the two women for a while, and then nodded with a light smile:
"It seems Han was overthinking. Since the two fellow Daoists have already considered this problem, I won't say much more. I'll just remind Fellow Daoist Yuan one last time. Since Senior Jiang used a consultative tone to want to take you as a disciple, he must have his own heavy concerns, so he probably won't use any hard means. As long as Fellow Daoist Yuan grasps the measure, even if you encounter some trouble, I think you will have good luck."
"Thank you for your good words, Brother Han!" Yuan Yao smiled bitterly and thanked him.
Han Li curled his lips and waved his arm in the air.
The Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain disappeared in the air, and so did the gray light shield.
Then Han Li and the two women discussed other matters and made some guesses and analyses about the reasons for the old man surnamed Jiang living in this place.
Next, Yuan Yao couldn't hold back anymore and took the initiative to propose going to see the old man immediately to ask if there was really a way to solve their ghost body problem.
Han Li and Yan Li naturally wouldn't stop her, so the two accompanied her and walked out of the stone house.
After Yuan Yao called out three times, a white shadow flashed, and the shadow ghost appeared as if it had never left.
After hearing the three's request to see the old man surnamed Jiang, the ghost nodded lightly and turned to fly away, leading the way for the three.
After a while, in the hall where the three had been received that day, Han Li and the others saw the old man again.
The old man surnamed Jiang was still sitting on the chair from that day, smiled faintly at the three, and asked without surprise:
"How is it, Fellow Daoist Yuan, have you thought it through and are willing to become my disciple?"
"Senior is willing to favor me, and the junior is deeply grateful. Naturally, I am willing to cultivate by Senior's side. But the junior has a difficult matter, so I'm afraid I cannot become Senior's disciple right now." Yuan Yao first bowed, then carefully said after considering her words.
"A difficult matter! Hehe, what matter, why not tell me about it." The old man surnamed Jiang's eyes lit up upon hearing Yuan Yao was willing to become his disciple, and then he asked with confidence.
Yuan Yao didn't act coy and frankly told him about her desire to restore her human body.
"Haha, I was wondering what it was. So it's about wanting to restore a normal body. A small matter. As long as I open the furnace to refine several kinds of pills and spend some magic power to drive away the Yin power in your body, restoring your original body will only take a few years. It won't affect your cultivation of the Long Yuan Clan's divine abilities at all!" The old man surnamed Jiang laughed after hearing this.
In his mouth, this matter seemed like a trivial thing.
"If that's the case, becoming Senior's disciple is something the junior has been wishing for! Yao'er pays respects to Master!" Yuan Yao was pleasantly surprised and acted decisively, bowing again.
"Good, good! Disciple, don't worry, I can still wait for a few years. When you have completely restored your normal body, then start cultivating the Long Yuan Clan's divine abilities." The old man was happy, flicked his sleeve, and a formless force surged from under Yuan Yao, lifting her up steadily.
"Master has already agreed to restore my normal body, so the disciple shouldn't have asked for anything more. But Yao'er has been dependent on Senior Sister Yan Li since childhood, like sisters. Can Senior take Senior Sister as a disciple as well and transform her ghost body together!" After Yuan Yao stood up, her eyes turned red again, and she said this to the old man surnamed Jiang.
"I have already made an exception by taking you as a disciple. Fellow Daoist Yan cannot be taken as a disciple no matter what. But looking at your face, I can agree to help her restore her normal body." The old man surnamed Jiang showed a difficult expression, and after a long while, he sighed and agreed.
Yuan Yao wanted to open her mouth to ask for more, but Yan Li took a step forward, bowed to the old man, and shook her head at Yuan Yao repeatedly.
"Senior is willing to spend pills and magic power to help me restore my normal body, and Yan Li is already deeply grateful. How can I hope to become Senior Jiang's disciple! Junior Sister, don't make it difficult for Senior!"
Yan Li said this with true feelings, but Yuan Yao's expression dimmed, and she finally didn't continue to speak.
She was also very clear that with the old man surnamed Jiang's status, the decisions he made would not be easily changed. Being able to agree to half of it was indeed taking good care of her. Asking for more was indeed a bit unrealistic.
Han Li, who had accompanied the two women this time, stood quietly on the side without saying a word, but his gaze paid special attention to observing the old man's expression, wanting to see something from it.
But he didn't find any abnormalities! This made him feel a sense of relief in his heart.
It seems the old man surnamed Jiang was truly willing to take a disciple!
"Fellow Daoist Han, I have some words I want to say to you alone. Are you willing to listen?" A sound transmission from the old man rang in Han Li's ears, and Han Li was startled.
"What instructions does Senior have? Just speak. The junior will definitely listen carefully." Han Li's expression condensed, and he replied with the same sound transmission.
Yan Li and Yuan Yao saw Han Li and the old man moving their lips but heard no sound, so they naturally knew the two were using sound transmission. After looking at each other, they all wisely remained silent and waited there.
"Actually, if I hadn't discovered that your companion possessed the Heavenly Yin Body, I originally intended to take you as a disciple and let you inherit my mantle. But now that I have taken Yao'er as a disciple and have to prepare to deal with the heavenly tribulation, I naturally cannot spare the energy to take you! This is truly a pity! I was originally very interested in your path of dual cultivation of magic and body." The old man transmitted his voice slowly, finally feeling very sorry.
"That means the junior doesn't have enough fate and has no chance to become Senior's disciple." Han Li was truly surprised by these words, and after a long while, he replied respectfully.
"However, you have already obtained the sword scripture left by Qing Tian Yuanzi in the human world and refined seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords using Gold Thunder Bamboo. Counting it, you can be considered half my disciple. How about this, if you are still interested in the new Qing Yuan Sword Scripture and the method of re-refining the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, I can pass this divine ability to you. However, you are not my true disciple after all. If you want this technique, you must exchange it for something. Think about it carefully." The old man said in a deep voice.
"New Qing Yuan Sword Scripture?" Han Li felt a move in his heart.
"Not bad. Actually, the sword scripture Qing Tian Yuanzi left in the human world was only half finished. After entering the Spirit World, he created the second half. It can be extended to the realm of the early stage of Body Integration. Later, because I merged with the essence soul and body of the Long Yuan Clan, I switched to cultivating the Long Yuan Clan's divine abilities. But once this sword scripture is cultivated, you re-refine the Gold Thunder Bamboo flying swords and drive out the impurities, the sword array you set up will be enough to contend with existences of the late stage of Body Integration without falling into a disadvantage." The old man smiled slightly.
"But the junior is only a cultivator of the Spirit Transformation stage, what could I possibly have that would catch Senior's eye." Han Li was greatly moved, but still asked rationally.
"Other things, you might not have. But Gold Thunder Bamboo, you should still have some leftovers, right?" The old man narrowed his eyes and spat out word by word.
"Gold Thunder Bamboo! Senior wants this?" Han Li was stunned, far beyond his expectations.
"Not bad. If you still have Gold Thunder Bamboo materials to refine three flying swords, I will pass this new sword scripture to you. If you have more than three swords' worth of materials, I can even personally help you refine your seventy-two flying swords." The old man said with a low laugh.
