Chapter 1702: Demon Infant and Spirit Body

Han Li looked at the Demon Infant and smiled slightly, beckoning to it with one hand. 【Web】

Immediately, spiritual light flashed on the Demon Infant's body, and it turned into a black light and entered his body.

It turned out that when Han Li initially condensed the Dharma Image Golden Body with several rare materials, he unexpectedly discovered that the Demon Infant without a body could easily attach itself to the Golden Body and continue to cultivate the Profound Yin Demonic Energy he had previously stopped by borrowing the demonic energy in the Golden Body. While cultivating demonic arts, this Nascent Soul could also continuously temper this body with the demonic energy it spat out, which was also of great benefit to the condensation of the Dharma Image Golden Body.

In this case, Han Li was naturally happy to let the Demon Infant attach itself to it.

After all, the Second Nascent Soul was almost an independent person, and neither cultivation nor manipulating the Golden Body required him to expend any mental effort.

It is a pity that this Demon Infant's cultivation was too low.

If it could also be cultivated to a realm similar to his main body and then attached to the Golden Body to deal with enemies, it would immediately become an existence like an external avatar, allowing Han Li's strength to immediately increase by more than double.

It is naturally extremely difficult for an ordinary person to cultivate step by step from Nascent Soul to the Void Refinement realm.

But Han Li's main Nascent Soul could directly transmit various cultivation experiences of high realms to the Second Nascent Soul. Coupled with various rare medicinal pills, the Second Nascent Soul's cultivation speed was absolutely faster than the main body.

Although cultivation bottlenecks could not be said to no longer exist for the Demon Infant, there is no doubt that it would be much simpler to break through than for normal cultivators. After all, the insights from previous breakthroughs would be of great use.

This is why, once cultivators of the Human Clan or foreign clans cultivate to a certain degree and feel that it is difficult to have any more breakthroughs, most of them will start to cultivate great divine abilities similar to external avatars and second primordial spirits.

But no matter which means of cultivating a second "self" is used, the cost is not trivial. Often, one has to exhaust most of their remaining years to have hope of great success.

This is also the reason why, even though they know the benefits of external avatars are huge, most people only cultivate one or two avatars, and most of their cultivation is far inferior to the main body.

After all, they don't have a mysterious small bottle that can infinitely catalyze and refine the spiritual medicinal pills they need.

Han Li's Second Nascent Soul, under the soaking of the Golden Body's demonic energy and the taking of many spiritual pills, had now cultivated to the peak of the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, and was ready to advance to the late stage at any time.

Now that the Vast Cold Realm was opening, he was not in a hurry to let the Demon Infant cultivate.

He planned to let the Second Nascent Soul impact the late-stage bottleneck after entering the Vast Cold Realm.

He imagined that the thick spiritual energy of this realm, which could allow Void Refinement existences to advance to Body Integration, would be a hundred times stronger than any spiritual medicinal pill for the bottleneck of a mere Nascent Soul stage.

Han Li pondered in his heart, and as his gaze shifted, it fell on another "Han Li," and after a flash of strange light in his eyes, a hint of fiery heat appeared.

"I really didn't expect that the body of a Spirit Immortal would be an excellent object for refining external avatars and substitutes. What's more unexpected is that the catalyzing spiritual liquid could be directly absorbed by this Spirit Immortal and transformed into pure spiritual power, making the magic power of this body advance by leaps and bounds. In just a few years, it has been forcibly raised by one rank in magic power alone, reaching the mid-stage of Void Refinement, and there is no bottleneck at all. It is truly incredible! But thinking about it, it is barely justifiable. This kind of heaven and earth spiritual object transformed from spiritual medicine originally took countless years to cultivate spiritual intelligence, and if it wanted to generate great magic power and transform into a form, it would take tens of thousands of years. This process can only rely on the accumulation of time to slowly refine magic power. If there were a bottleneck in advancement, this heaven and earth would be too unfair to this object. But what is strange is that it is also a heaven and earth spiritual object, and it is also poured with spiritual liquid, why can the Nine-Curved Spirit Ginseng only restore vitality and cannot advance at all? Could it be that only this kind of Spirit Immortal spiritual object can absorb this spiritual liquid? Or does this kind of spiritual medicine-type heaven and earth spiritual object have to advance to the point of transforming into a form to possess this talent?" Han Li muttered, his brows furrowed tightly, and after a long while, he shook his head to himself:

"Hehe, whatever the reason. In any case, a heaven-sent opportunity is now before my eyes. Although it is impossible to split more primordial spirit to cultivate an external avatar for the sake of the main body's cultivation, it is completely possible to refine it into a substitute. In the future, I can directly use the Nascent Soul to drive the Spirit Body to deal with enemies."

Han Li discovered that the mysterious small bottle's spiritual liquid could increase the cultivation of the Spirit Immortal body, and his thoughts were very simple. He just wanted to continue pouring the catalyzing spiritual liquid into this Spirit Body substitute to see if it could eventually possess the astonishing magic power of the Body Integration stage.

Although it was just that kind of "half-Sacred stage" that only had magic power but no realm, if his Nascent Soul personally attached itself to this shell to deal with enemies, relying on his own many divine abilities and the Spirit Body's heaven-reaching magic power, he would absolutely not fear any Body Integration existences.

Moreover, the magic power of this substitute Spirit Body might continue to surge wildly. If it eventually possessed heaven-reaching magic power comparable to a Body Integration existence, he would almost not have to fear any existence in the Spirit Realm.

Of course, all of this must be based on the establishment of his assumptions.

For some reason, he vaguely felt that it was impossible for such a heaven-defying thing to really happen. Perhaps this Spirit Body could only make the magic power have the degree of the Body Integration stage or even the peak of Void Refinement.

After all, when he used the small bottle's spiritual liquid to catalyze the Golden Thunder Bamboo to ten thousand years, it would not change anymore.

With such a special example before him, Han Li naturally didn't dare to be sure whether the Spirit Immortal body's absorption of this kind of spiritual liquid would also have such a limitation.

Moreover, once the pure spiritual energy transformed by the spiritual liquid accumulated to a certain degree in this shell, it must be mobilized by the magic power in the dantian and meridians to be refined.

This Spirit Immortal shell could not do these things on its own.

Fortunately, in his moment of inspiration, he unexpectedly thought of another way.

Han Li thought of this, the corner of his mouth curled into a smile, and he ordered the "Han Li" in the purple light:

"Qu'er, you have worked hard these days. You should also come out of this body and stop refining the spiritual energy inside for the time being. In the next month, I will stop catalyzing all other spiritual medicines and pour all the spiritual liquid into this Spirit Body substitute first, and you can refine this spiritual energy slowly in the future."

"Yes, Young Master."

A crisp and childish voice suddenly came from the Spirit Immortal shell, and then the "Han Li" in the purple light patted his own crown, slowly closed his eyes, and at the same time, a ball of white light flew out from inside, spinning in the air, and unexpectedly turned into a young girl of six or seven years old.

She was wearing a snow-white dress with nine small pitch-black braids on her head, looking extremely cute!

Han Li saw the young girl appear and smiled slightly, saying:

"This time entering the Vast Cold Realm, you will also go with me. I will take your main body with me. Now you go back and rest well."

"Young Master, can I go too?" The young girl was overjoyed upon hearing this, her face showing an extremely innocent smile.

"I don't know what kind of things I will encounter when I enter the Vast Cold Realm this time. Now that your primordial spirit has opened its intelligence and transformed into a human form, how could I be at ease leaving you here alone? If I leave and an outsider breaks into the cave dwelling, that would be terrible." Han Li explained gently.

"That's great. I don't know why, but after I became like this, not only is my brain much better, but now I want to go outside and see." The child said happily.

"Hehe, you have just opened your intelligence, so it is not strange to have such thoughts. However, during this period, you should stay in the medicine garden well and don't let anyone see you. During this time, I fear my cave dwelling will not be very peaceful." Han Li said solemnly.

"Understood, Qu'er will go to the medicine garden to rest now." The young girl was startled when she heard that there might be outsiders coming to the cave dwelling, and immediately became extremely timid.

Then, the young girl's figure blurred, turned into white light and shot downward, and with just a flicker, she disappeared into the ground.

This young girl was naturally the one transformed from the Nine-Curved Spirit Ginseng's primordial spirit.

Originally, the Spirit Immortal had said that she would help the Nine-Curved Spirit Ginseng open its intelligence early and teach it some things.

But Han Li didn't expect that after the Spirit Immortal sacrificed herself to enter reincarnation, only a year later, the spirit object would transform its primordial spirit from a white rabbit body into the appearance of a young girl.

It seems that the Spirit Immortal must have given her great benefits in addition to what she had left behind, to have such an unexpected advancement.

Han Li was naturally happy to see such things happen.

And he gave the Nine-Curved Spirit Ginseng, which had opened its intelligence, the name "Qu'er."

Then he discovered that because they both belonged to heaven and earth spiritual objects, Qu'er could actually directly enter the shell left by the Spirit Immortal and operate the massive magic power in its body.

And in the process of refining spiritual energy, Qu'er herself could also benefit greatly from the nourishment of the thick spiritual energy.

In this way, he simply handed over the matter of refining the Spirit Immortal shell's spiritual energy to the young girl.

As a result, she had done a great job in these two years, making him very satisfied.

Now that Han Li saw the young girl disappear, he smiled lightly and grabbed the "shell" in the distance with one hand in the void.

Immediately, a patch of grey light rolled over, covering the Spirit Body.

The Spirit Immortal body in the purple light shrank rapidly, finally turning into a few inches in size. After the light rolled back, it wrapped the Spirit Body and brought it back to Han Li, and it disappeared into his sleeve.

After handling all of this, Han Li swept his gaze over the empty secret room, then turned around without hesitation and walked toward the door.

In the following month, Han Li frequently appeared in the major shops of Cloud City, starting to collect some materials and relatively remote magic tools.

And in the following few days, Duan Wen Tianren, Qian Jizi, and others indeed all came to visit one by one. He didn't know what they had said to Han Li, but they all left with satisfied expressions after half a day.

A month's time was naturally not too long, and in the blink of an eye, it passed quickly.

On this day, Han Li was sitting in the main hall of the cave dwelling, closing his eyes to nourish his spirit, when suddenly a red light flew in from outside the secret room and circled around him.

He raised his brows, lifted his hand to take the red light into his palm, and then immersed his mind into it to check.

"It's finally starting." Han Li muttered to himself, stood up abruptly, and walked out of the cave dwelling.
