Chapter 2058

"These people really have eyes but fail to see, actually mistaking a 'Medicinal' Spirit Bone for an ordinary True Spirit Bone. If the owner who brought this item out for auction knew about this, I wonder if they would regret it to the point of vomiting blood and dying." Han Li's mouth curled slightly, and he chuckled in his mind, seemingly also very pleased.

"If this 'Medicinal' Spirit Bone were used in alchemy, it could almost replace more than a dozen legendary Holy Herbs. However, how could ordinary people recognize this item? Only Master has such great divine abilities." Qu'er began to flatter him profusely.

"I was only able to barely distinguish it because of the records in an ancient book of an alien race and after going up to inspect it personally. But how did you, little girl, know its mystery beforehand? Did you know from the very beginning that this spirit bone was left behind by a psychic 'Medicinal' Spirit?" Han Li asked casually.

"Reporting to Master, before the Zhixian Master reincarnated and left, she once imparted to me some inherited memories regarding psychic 'Medicinal' Spirits. If that Zhixian spirit body refines and integrates this spirit bone, not only can it cleanse the marrow and greatly increase magic power, but it can even obtain some of the original owner's divine abilities and origin imprints. There is hope for it to break through the original bottleneck resistance and ascend to the Mahayana stage." Qu'er replied with extreme excitement.

Han Li's Zhixian spirit body had been cultivated by her for many years and had almost merged with her main body. Therefore, if the spirit body's divine abilities increased, she would naturally benefit greatly as well.

"The spirit body is a Zhixian body; originally, the bottleneck before Body Integration almost didn't exist, and the few times it encountered bottlenecks after reaching Body Integration, it broke through very easily. Originally, I was worried that when it reached the peak of the late stage, it would likely be very difficult to advance further. Now that I have this 'Medicinal' Spirit Bone, I think that won't be a problem. Sometimes, I actually envy you transformed spirit creatures who possess spirit bodies. The resistance you encounter when advancing is less than one-tenth of that of ordinary living beings; as long as your cultivation is sufficient, you can easily break through bottleneck limitations." Han Li sighed suddenly.

"But Master, the time we 'Medicinal' Spirits spend accumulating magic power is often a thousand times that of ordinary living beings. If it were just as difficult to encounter bottlenecks, how could there still be psychic 'Medicinal' Spirits in various realms, and there certainly wouldn't be this 'Medicinal' Spirit Bone left behind." Qu'er replied with a giggle.

"I naturally understand this principle. I was just feeling a bit sentimental. After all, for me to be able to cultivate to this realm, if it weren't for some opportunities, it would simply be wishful thinking. Alright, although this 'Medicinal' Spirit Bone is ancient, the imprints inside should still be quite numerous. You should identify for me what kind of psychic 'Medicinal' Spirit left it behind, and then refine it. Hehe, come to think of it, unless they are of the same 'Medicinal' Spirit body, others would be unable to inherit the imprints in this spirit bone." Han Li replied with a faint smile.

"Master, rest assured. As long as you give me a few days, I will be able to understand what kind of 'Medicinal' Spirit the original owner of this spirit bone was before advancing to psychic status. However, Master, even if the spirit body advances to the Mahayana realm, my own realm is still too low. Attaching myself to it will at most allow me to exert fifty percent of the spirit body's divine abilities. And after a 'Medicinal' Spirit advances to Mahayana, it cannot be compared to ordinary Mahayana existences; it might only obtain some unexpected great divine abilities in concealment and escape techniques." Qu'er hesitated for a moment before reminding him.

"Oh, is that so? It doesn't matter. Being able to have a Mahayana helper who can exert fifty percent of its divine abilities, even if it's a bit weak, is enough to ensure I can roam the Spirit Realm." Han Li smiled slightly and asked indifferently.

"That is true. However, even with heaven-defying means to directly increase the spirit body's magic power, I'm afraid it will still take another hundred years or so for its magic power to reach the peak of the late stage. Master will have to wait patiently for a period of time. During this period, Qu'er also needs to control all the spirit body's magic power to refine this 'Medicinal' Spirit Bone, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help Master fight enemies." Qu'er said with a smile.

"To be able to obtain such a helper, I can afford to wait this long. While in the Demon Realm, I have other trump cards on me, so I should be able to protect myself without worry. You don't need to worry about anything; start refining the spirit bone immediately." Han Li's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this, but he immediately replied indifferently.

Afterward, a flash of cyan light appeared in his sleeve, and a few-inch-sized emerald-green spirit bone appeared silently in his palm. With another flicker, it vanished strangely again.

"Yes, Master. Qu'er will definitely refine the 'Medicinal' Bone as soon as possible!" Qu'er replied joyfully, and after that, no more sound came out.

Han Li smiled slightly, stopped transmitting his voice, took off his cloak, and continued walking slowly.

He had no intention of returning to his residence now, but was heading toward a nearby materials shop.

Two days ago, although he didn't gain anything when checking materials at this shop, the shopkeeper had said that a large batch of materials would be arriving through other channels in two days, among which were several pieces of Alien Demon Gold of considerable size.

The speaker had no intention, but the listener did.

Han Li had noted this at the time, and now that the time had come, he naturally had to go and take a look. He wanted to see if he could find another one of those crystal beads containing mysterious energy among that Alien Demon Gold.

After all, a single such crystal bead could save a hundred years of bitter cultivation; even finding one more would allow Han Li to save a lot of time in his cultivation.

For such a good thing, Han Li naturally wouldn't give up easily and was determined to find a few more.

However, just as Han Li turned a few street corners, two tall demon men suddenly appeared in front of him, coldly blocking his path.

Han Li swept his gaze over them and immediately saw that both demons had the cultivation of the mid-stage Void Refinement. Furthermore, one had rolling heat radiating from his body, while the other emitted a faint, icy chill, clearly both having cultivated special demon techniques.

He stopped three or four zhang away from them and said expressionlessly:

"Do you two have any business? If not, hurry up and move aside. I have important matters to attend to."

"Don't be in such a hurry, fellow Daoist. It's not the two of us looking for you, but our Lady. Our Lady would like to invite you to sit for a while in the room nearby." One of the two demon men, who had a wide mouth and a high nose, pointed to the side and said coldly.

Han Li raised a brow and glanced in the direction he pointed.

He saw a demon woman in a black dress sitting at a table in a nearby open-air room, similar to a tavern, gazing at him.

Seeing Han Li look over, the woman smiled sweetly, which actually had a bit of an enchanting air to it.

At the same time, the woman's voice transmission rang in Han Li's ears:

"Why is fellow Daoist in such a hurry? Would you like to come over for a small drink? I have a small matter I would like to discuss with you."

"You've come for that spirit bone!" Han Li's eyes flashed, and he replied indifferently.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist is truly clever. I have indeed come for that. As long as you are willing to yield the spirit bone, I am willing to exchange it for rare treasures; I definitely won't let you suffer a loss." The beautiful demon lady chuckled.

"No interest. I will not yield the spirit bone." Han Li said without hesitation. He moved his previously stopped feet forward, intending to pass through the space between the two demon men.

After hearing such a heartless reply, the beautiful demon lady's expression turned fierce, and she couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed and angry. Her lips moved, and she secretly gave an order to the men.

Hearing the voice transmission, the two demon men hesitated for a moment, but after exchanging a glance, their shoulders suddenly shook, and they squeezed toward the middle. Although their movements seemed slow, one hot and one cold aura surged toward Han Li, who was walking over, first.

The two auras merged slightly in front of Han Li, and with a boom, they suddenly surged more than twofold, intending to force Han Li to retreat.

If an ordinary Void Refinement cultivator faced this, they would have no choice but to retreat to their original spot. However, Han Li's face remained calm, without the slightest intention of dodging. A faint golden light flashed on his body, and the two auras crashed into his protective spiritual light.

With a "boom" like a thunderclap, a terrifying aura erupted from Han Li's body and vanished in a flash.

The cold and hot auras surged out wildly in an instant. The two demons were startled and, no longer caring about Han Li, split their hands to try and block the auras they had released themselves.

But the next moment, the two let out a miserable scream, their bodies swaying backward like drunks, and with every step they retreated, they spat out a mouthful of essence blood.

After spitting out seven or eight mouthfuls of essence blood, although they barely managed to stabilize their bodies, their faces were as pale as paper. One was covered in black scorch marks, while the other was covered in a layer of frost.

At this moment, the two men had expressions of utter disbelief on their faces.

The demon woman stood up in horror, staring blankly at Han Li's back, not daring to chase after him at all.

Han Li, however, passed through the space between them with extreme composure and drifted away without looking back.

With such a big commotion, it was impossible for the passing demons and those in the shops nearby not to notice, but most just glanced from afar, whispered a few words, and went back to their own business, seemingly not paying much attention to the matter.

After all, Blood Crow City was a place where dragons and snakes were mixed. As long as one didn't bring out treasures and fight to the death on the spot, such small conflicts were common occurrences, happening more than a hundred times every day.

"Lady, we are incompetent and failed to keep this person."

When the two demon men forced down the internal injuries in their bodies, they immediately lowered their heads and reported to the demon woman with ashen faces.

"The combined strength of you two is almost no less than that of the peak of the late-stage Void Refinement, yet you were forced into this state by the other party in a single encounter. Could this person be a Demon Venerable in disguise?" After taking a deep breath, the demon woman's expression of shock finally subsided slightly.

"It's highly likely. Lady, do you still remember the three Nan brothers we met two days ago? Their combined strength can even fight an early-stage Demon Venerable; how could they have sneaked into this city in disguise? The situation in Blood Crow City is very strange now; it seems there are some guys with unfathomable cultivation who have appeared. Could it be that something major is about to happen here?" One of the demon men muttered with lingering fear.
