Chapter 1821

"So that's how it is! I was wondering, Senior Han is a Body Integration stage existence, how could he be like ordinary cultivators, finding a place to stay outside casually. Net" Hai Dashao said with a grin.

"Exactly! I imagine the place in the mountain for entertaining Senior must be extremely magnificent. We two have benefited from Senior's light and can also go in to broaden our horizons first." Qilingzi blinked his eyes and also began to flatter him heavily.

Although Han Li immediately heard the flattery in their words, he just gave a chuckle and didn't say anything.

Not long after, the flying carriage passed over a market and plunged into the mountain range ahead.

The distance of over a thousand miles was reached in the blink of an eye for this flying carriage, which was a top-tier flying magic treasure.

A sea of blue clouds suddenly appeared ahead, completely blocking the path.

Han Li gently stepped on the magic treasure under his feet, and the flying carriage immediately circled and stopped.

Han Li didn't speak either; he clasped his hands together and simultaneously flicked them toward the sea of clouds.

With a boom, two golden lightning bolts shot out, vanishing into the sea of clouds in a flash.

The next moment, two loud bangs of "Boom" and "Boom" came from the blue clouds.

Two massive spiritual pressures erupted from the sea of clouds, causing the blue clouds ahead to churn violently, like a raging sea.

Following this, Han Li clasped his hands behind his back and stood leisurely in the carriage, making no further moves, as if waiting for something.

Hai Dashao and Qilingzi had doubts in their hearts upon seeing this, but they didn't dare to ask randomly and stood honestly behind Han Li.

As a result, after a short while, a few strange beast roars were faintly heard from the sea of fog ahead, followed by a man's furious shout that came from within:

"Who is so bold as to dare attack the barrier here? Don't you know that this place has been a forbidden area since three months ago?"

As soon as the man's roar fell, the blue clouds fluctuated, and the sea of clouds suddenly split to the sides, revealing a massive passage several zhang wide.

With a flash of blue light, several guards riding massive monsters flew out from within.

These guards were all tall and sturdy, looking a full two heads taller than Han Li. Their upper bodies were covered in crude white bone armor, while their lower bodies wore various types of leather pants. One hand held a massive square bone shield, and the other held a thick black spear.

As for the monsters they were riding, they looked like giant wolves with massive fleshy wings, but their entire bodies were covered in blue fur, with faint traces of electric light flickering, appearing extremely mysterious.

However, there was not a trace of magic power fluctuation on these guards; they were actually a group of rare high-tier body refiners, whose physical strength alone was almost equivalent to Core Formation stage cultivators.

Seeing Han Li standing in the flying carriage in the air, looking at them with a slightly interested gaze, without any intention of avoiding or fleeing, the four guards couldn't help but be startled.

It was flawless and exquisitely unusual!

Han Li placed the jade plate under the young girl's wrist, and the essence blood immediately dripped down.

With a "clink," the moment the essence blood fell into the plate, it actually froze into ice, emitting a pleasant, crisp sound.

Seeing this scene, the old woman and the others all changed color.

Han Li, however, revealed an expression of "as expected." He put away the drop of essence blood and the jade plate, and the five-colored cold light on the palm gripping the young girl's arm flared brightly.

Amidst the flickering cold light, that mass of green Qi faded and dissipated in the blink of an eye, finally vanishing without a trace.

Just at this moment, the young girl let out a soft moan and opened her eyes in a daze.

The young woman and the middle-aged man were overjoyed and thanked Han Li repeatedly.

Han Li smiled, and after the five-colored cold light on his hand dissipated, he released the young girl's arm. However, he extended a finger from his other hand and tapped the young girl's forehead, and a white magic technique flashed and disappeared without a trace.

The young girl, who had just woken up, actually trembled slightly and fell back into a deep sleep.

This startled the others!

"No need to worry. The cold poison in her body has just been dispelled, so her body will be relatively weak. It is better for her to rest more. Alright, I have finished looking; let's return to the front to discuss other matters." Han Li explained briefly, then ignored the others and stood up to leave.

Although the old woman and the others were extremely puzzled in their hearts, they naturally did not dare to disobey and followed closely behind.

Thus, after a short while, Han Li sat back in his original seat in the main hall, savoring a cup of spirit tea in his hand. His gaze flickered slightly, as if there were some difficult matter he couldn't decide on for the moment.

Seeing Han Li in such a solemn state, the others naturally did not dare to disturb him. From the old woman to Hai Dashao, everyone respectfully kept their mouths shut, quietly waiting for Han Li to speak first.

After an unknown amount of time, Han Li raised his eyebrows, placed the teacup in his hand onto the table to the side, and seemed to have finally made a decision.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, how much do you know about the cold poison in your daughter's body?" Han Li asked the middle-aged man.

"This junior has also invited some experts to diagnose it carefully. It is said that the cold poison in Guo'er's body is caused by a very rare Earth Lung Cold Qi, which is vastly different from the ordinary icy cold poison in the world. Apart from Body Integration stage cultivators using great magic power to forcibly dispel it, only a few legendary Yang spirit medicines can neutralize this cold poison." Bai Huaji was startled in his heart and hurriedly told everything he knew.

"Hehe, no wonder they would say that." Han Li smiled faintly, noncommittally.

"Senior, is there something else wrong with Guo'er's cold poison?" The young woman asked with great concern upon hearing Han Li's words.

"When did you two discover that this girl had cold poison in her body?" Han Li did not answer the young woman's question but asked one in return.

"It was when she was nine! When Guo'er was cultivating, she suddenly fainted in the secret room, and that was when we discovered this cold poison. At first, it was only an inconspicuous wisp. We didn't pay much attention to it at first and used some ordinary methods to remove this cold poison, but as a result, it worsened rapidly like adding fuel to fire. In just a few years, it became what it is now. But when Guo'er was just born, both my mother-in-law and I checked her entire body, and there were no abnormalities. I estimate that it was mostly some vicious enemy who took advantage of our inattention to secretly harm our Guo'er. It's a pity that we haven't been able to find out who the culprit is, otherwise, I, Bai, would risk my life to..." The middle-aged man first had a face full of pain, then gritted his teeth.

The young woman to the side also had a gloomy expression, clearly also hating that "enemy" intensely.

"Enemy! No, this cold poison was brought from the womb; it is not some Earth Lung Cold Qi, but something with a great background." Han Li swept his gaze over the two and said faintly.

"Since it is what Senior said, it naturally cannot be false. But could Senior explain it a little to this junior to resolve their doubts?" The old woman, who had been listening from the side, spoke respectfully.

"It's nothing. Even if you didn't ask, I would explain it clearly. This girl actually possesses a legendary spirit body: the Ice Marrow Body. This constitution cannot be detected at birth; it only shows signs when she reaches the age of nine during the Yin hour. But the first time the cold poison flares up, it is extremely fierce. It is said that those who possess this spirit body mostly perish during the first outbreak. Therefore, even in some ancient books, this spirit body is rarely recorded. If it weren't for the coincidence that I knew about this matter, I would probably have treated the cold poison in this girl's body as ordinary Earth Lung Cold Qi." Han Li finally explained slowly.

"Ice Marrow Body!"

The young woman and the middle-aged man looked at each other, their faces filled with surprise. This was indeed the first time they had heard of such a spirit body, and naturally, they couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts, secretly whispering about whether it was true or false.

The old woman, however, had her wrinkled face move upon hearing the name "Ice Marrow Body," and her face was filled with shock.

As for Hai Dashao and the other, they naturally had never heard of any "Ice Marrow Body" and could only stare at the others with wide eyes.

As for Han Li, after finishing speaking, he picked up his teacup and took a light sip, looking as if he didn't care whether the young woman and the others believed him or not.

"Ice Marrow Body, Guo'er actually has this constitution. If so, it is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a curse." The old woman actually muttered at this moment.

"Master, you also know about this abnormal spirit body?" The young woman asked with some surprise.

"I don't know about it myself, but in my early years, I once heard a friend mention this spirit body in passing, and what was said was exactly the same as what Senior Han said. I never expected that Guo'er would possess this spirit body. But whether this is a blessing or a curse is really hard to say." The old woman looked at Han Li before speaking.

"Master means..." The young woman asked with a change in expression.

"I heard from that friend that this Ice Marrow Body not only starts to flare up at the age of nine, but the cold Qi in the body also becomes more intense year by year. Under normal circumstances, by the age of fifteen or sixteen, the owner of the spirit body will undoubtedly die. If they want to survive, there are only two methods." The old woman sighed.

"Master, what are the two methods!" The young woman was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly asked.

"One is to invite a Body Integration stage existence to forcibly dispel the cold poison with great magic power every year, and then spare no effort of true essence to help her wash her marrow and meridians. After surviving for a hundred years, the owner of the spirit body can adapt to this cold Qi, and it will no longer cause any damage to the body. Furthermore, after a little cultivation, this strange cold power can be transformed into a great divine ability called Ice Marrow Cold Soul, the power of which is unimaginable." The old woman replied hesitantly.

"There is such a thing. Then this Ice Marrow spirit body should be an excellent talent. Why did Senior say it is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a curse?" The middle-aged man asked with surprise.

"That is because the extreme cold carried by the Ice Marrow spirit body is not so easily suppressed. The first few decades are fine; as long as some time is spent, a Body Integration stage cultivator can easily suppress it. In the later decades, not only must one ensure that the magic power does not damage the owner of the spirit body, but one must also forcibly dispel the cold poison. Almost every time it is suppressed, the Body Integration stage cultivator will consume a lot of true essence. Especially in the last ten years, this consumption cannot be made up for by meditation. Not to mention that during this period, the Body Integration stage cultivator also needs to spend more magic power to wash the marrow and meridians for the owner of the spirit body. Calculating it this way, it will delay the Body Integration cultivator who takes action by hundreds of years of hard cultivation. Which senior would be willing to do such a thing that harms oneself to benefit others?" The old woman smiled bitterly as she explained one by one.
