As the entire palm expanded, it transformed into a golden giant hand, grabbing the crystal bead into it. (Read without ads, full-text error-free novel, net-, your best choice!)
With golden light flashing on the five fingers, countless golden runes surged out from the palm, instantly wrapping the crystal bead tightly, transforming it into a golden light ball.
Seeing this situation, Han Li let out a light breath, and while chanting, a slender crystal thread sprayed out from each fingertip, submerging into the golden ball in a flash.
The next moment, along the crystal thread, a wisp of gray-white gas, faint as if invisible, emerged from the golden ball. After being restricted by an invisible force, it was taken into Han Li's palm.
For the time below, Han Li closed his eyes and began to silently refine this wisp of strange energy.
At this moment, faint golden light flowed on his body, and the aura he emitted changed from strong to weak, appearing quite strange.
After a full several hours, when he opened his eyes again, his face was full of joy, clearly sensing that the magic power in his body had increased a little.
"Not bad, it's indeed the same energy as the strange Demon gold from before. In this way, as long as I find more of this kind of strange Demon gold, it's not impossible to directly elevate my magic power to the late-Integration stage Grand Ascension realm. This saves a full thousand years of bitter cultivation. It seems if there is an opportunity, I really have to take a trip to the Blue Waterfall Lake." Han Li muttered a few words, his expression uncertain.
After pondering for a short while, Han Li suddenly held up a finger in front of him.
Spiritual light flashed at the fingertip, and a wisp of green gas was forced out silently, floating slightly above the fingertip.
"Sure enough, this thing also came out. It seems I can only keep it in the Demon infant's body and continue to seal it."
Han Li shook his head, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
However, the gray-white gas he refined was not even one-tenth of the energy contained in the entire crystal bead. If all the energy in the entire crystal ball were refined, it would be enough to increase his magic power by more than ten percent, which was already an unexpected surprise.
But to be on the safe side, Han Li didn't intend to refine all the energy in one breath, but planned to spend over ten days, refining only a little each time, and then consolidating his realm.
To avoid his cultivation increasing too fast and leaving behind other unknown hidden dangers.
After all, the amount of mysterious energy obtained this time was ten times more than last time.
After Han Li made up his mind, he flicked his sleeve, and over a dozen golden and silver talismans flew out, sticking to the golden light ball in a flash, sealing it firmly.
Then he took out a small bottle as white as jade, shook it slightly, and a cluster of five-colored light mist sprayed out, wrapping the golden ball into it.
Han Li smiled slightly, put away the small bottle, placed his two hands on his knees, and entered meditation again.
Over ten days later, Han Li hadn't left the pavilion for a single step, finally refining all the energy in that crystal ball into pure magic power, greatly increasing his cultivation.
In the following few days, Han Li began to frequently enter and exit various places in the Illusory Night City, collecting some classics and specialties of the Illusory Night City. As for the Ten Thousand Slave Tower, he ran there several times, and finally, from the hands of the two Void Refinement Demon clans sitting in the tower, he bought a set of secret techniques for refining Demon crystal puppets.
For this, Han Li not only took out several top-tier Demon tools but also spent a astronomical amount of Demon stones that made even Demon Venerable-level existences feel pain.
But Han Li felt it was not a loss at all.
This kind of puppet refining technique was completely different from the puppet refining method of the Spirit Realm.
These Demon crystal puppets were not driven by attaching Spiritual Sense, but by activating activities with restrictions and tokens arranged in the puppets in advance. In this way, as long as the puppets refined were powerful enough, even low-tier cultivators could easily control them. And in terms of quantity, there was no limit to how many split thoughts could be transformed, and even low-tier Demon people could easily control an army of puppets.
When Han Li learned this, his surprise was imaginable.
Unfortunately, there was no perfect thing in the world. These Demon crystal puppets were heart-pounding, but their shortcomings were also quite a few.
The most important one was that because Spiritual Sense could not control them, these puppets could only rely on core restrictions to execute some simple instructions and could not execute too complex commands.
And because of this defect, Demon crystal puppets were relatively single in attack compared to puppets of the same stage in the human world, and their power was much inferior.
Secondly, the refining of the core of this kind of puppet was very troublesome, and the materials used were also extremely rare, so the cost was definitely not something ordinary people could bear. The higher the grade of the Demon crystal puppet, the more staggering the cost.
What made Han Li a bit depressed was that the puppet refining technique he exchanged from the Ten Thousand Slave Tower at such a great cost was only a secret technique for refining low-to-mid-tier puppets. According to the two Void Refinement Demon clans sitting in the Ten Thousand Slave Tower of Illusory Night City, the high-tier Demon crystal puppet refining technique was only mastered by a few Demon Venerable-level elders at the highest level of the Ten Thousand Slave Tower and would not be leaked at all.
Even these few high-tier Demon crystal puppets were rarely sold to the outside world by the Ten Thousand Slave Tower.
This made Han Li feel a bit regretful again.
Han Li didn't care too much about this matter. If these high-tier Demon crystal puppets didn't form a certain quantity, they wouldn't be of much help to him now. The reason he spent such a high price was just to verify his own puppet technique, to see if he could fuse and penetrate them together, making his puppet technique go a step further.
Han Li didn't leave his residence, and began to ponder bitterly again.
During this period, he tried to refine some low-tier Demon crystal puppets to verify his level of understanding, and he gained quite a lot.
On this day, in the restriction on the top floor of the pavilion, he was trying to drive a four-armed Demon crystal puppet, when suddenly a low sound came from his body, and a cluster of white light flew out from his waist, arrived in front of him in a flash, and transformed into a brocade-like object.
Seeing this scene, Han Li's expression moved, and he pointed at the brocade, and a streak of cyan light submerged into it.
The next moment, the brocade flashed with faint silver light, and a row of silver small characters appeared on the surface.
Han Li's gaze condensed, swept over it, his expression pondered slightly, and he beckoned.
The brocade transformed back into white light and flew into his sleeve, and Han Li immediately turned and walked down the pavilion.
In the hall on the first floor of the pavilion, Zhu Guo'er was holding a somewhat yellowed animal skin book, reading intently. Seeing Han Li coming down from the stairs, she was startled, hurriedly stood up to salute, and asked carefully:
"Master, is there anything that needs to be done by the little maid?"
"Has anyone come to visit me these past few days?" Han Li asked casually.
"No! The little maid has been guarding here recently, and no senior has come to visit Master." Zhu Guo'er replied carefully.
"Good, I know. There's nothing, you continue to stay here. I'm going out!" Han Li nodded indifferently, and without waiting for the little girl to say anything more, he walked out of the pavilion with a wave of his sleeves.
Zhu Guo'er blinked, still looking confused.
And Han Li had already walked out of the pavilion in a flash, and not long after, stopped a beast carriage on the street, heading straight for outside the city gate.
Several hours later, Han Li appeared on a hidden hill several hundred miles outside Illusory Night City, driving his escape light, and looked down.
Only to see a layer of white mist shrouding the entire hill, and ordinary people couldn't see the scenery under the mist at all.
Seeing this situation, Han Li felt relieved and let out a light breath. With a wave of his hand, a streak of fire light flew out and submerged into the mist below in a flash.
A moment later, a faint man's voice suddenly came from the hill below:
"Is it Fellow Daoist Han? I will open the restriction and let you in."
The speaker seemed to have confirmed Han Li's identity, and the originally hazy mist parted instantly, revealing a passage.
Han Li heard the speaker's voice, his expression moved, his escape light flashed, and he transformed into a cyan rainbow, submerging into it.
When the mist in front of his eyes blurred and disappeared, Han Li's figure appeared on an open space on the hill.
Not far away, on two cleaner mountain stones, two people were sitting cross-legged.
One had a pale golden face, and one was wearing a black robe. It was the Long family ancestor and another elder of the Long family with the surname Hui.
However, when Han Li scanned the two, his eyes couldn't help but squint slightly.
The Long family ancestor was fine, just his face was a bit pale, and he smiled at Han Li, while that elder with the surname Hui had black Qi on his face, looked haggard, and actually had one arm missing.
"Why is Fellow Daoist Hui in such a state? Did the two of you encounter any great enemy on the way?" Han Li asked with a condensed expression.
"This matter is a long story. I'll tell Brother Han in detail later. I want to ask Brother Han first, is it only Brother Han who has arrived in Illusory Night City?" The Long family ancestor smiled bitterly first, but immediately asked with a serious expression.
"Since Brother Long has already used treasures to summon, if no one else has come, then it's mostly like this. At least, I haven't seen anyone else at the inn we originally agreed upon in the city." Han Li frowned and replied.
"Since that's the case, let's wait a while longer. It's not a matter of this moment anyway." The Long family ancestor hesitated for a moment and said so.
Han Li nodded upon hearing this, had no intention of opposing, and found a mountain stone to sit cross-legged.
Time passed bit by bit. After a full hour, Han Li suddenly moved, looked up at the sky, blue light flashed in his pupils, and he said calmly:
"It seems other Fellow Daoists have really come. I wonder which Fellow Daoist has come."
The Long family ancestor was slightly shocked upon hearing this, and also stared into the mist in the high sky.
As a result, after a moment, a pleasant woman's voice came from the sky:
"Which Fellow Daoist is below? I came a bit late, I hope you don't blame me!"
Listening to the voice, it was none other than that Ye family ancestor who looked like a young girl!
The Long family ancestor heard this voice, a look of joy appeared on his face, formed a seal, and parted the mist in the sky again.
A cluster of light mist fell straight down from the sky.
