Chapter 337
Han Li ignored the man's look of shock and anger. He dispersed the cyan light wrapping the Soul-Summoning Bell, then extended his finger and flicked the small bell lightly with a "dang" sound. Net
With a "thump," "Qu Hun," who was just about to take the opportunity to escape, immediately flipped over and fell to the ground.
"Life-bound magic treasure! What you are holding is the life-bound magic treasure of this body!" "Qu Hun" shouted with a look of fear on his face.
"It's good that you know! If you don't want to suffer, then give a proper account of your background. I am quite curious, how could you occupy this body? Aren't cultivators unable to possess mortals?" Han Li said with a calm expression, his voice extremely flat, as if he were just chatting with a good friend.
However, when "Qu Hun" heard this, he couldn't help but shiver. One must know that cultivators who perform possession are hated by everyone in the cultivation world. Although it hadn't reached the point of exterminating those who perform possession, they would definitely not be given a good look. And Han Li's very abnormal expression made him feel even more uneasy, and he couldn't help but wildly think of a strategy to escape.
"Fellow Daoist, please forgive me. I was also a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator before, but my physical shell was destroyed during a struggle with an enemy, so I had no choice but to take over this body." This person did not answer Han Li's question, but instead stood up and explained with a forced smile.
"Is that so!" Han Li said neither coldly nor warmly.
In fact, hearing that the other party was a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, Han Li was slightly surprised.
But this "Qu Hun" could not see what Han Li was thinking. Seeing his indifferent appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked, and hurriedly said again:
"Although my cultivation has fallen to the low level of the Qi Condensation stage, I still have some magic treasures and spirit stones. As long as Fellow Daoist does not pursue this matter, I am willing to gift them to you!" He said this sentence in a somewhat humble tone. Obviously, he understood the principle that one must bow one's head when under someone else's roof!
But Han Li ignored the other party's tempting words, instead pondered for a moment and suddenly asked:
"Are you a cultivator of the Seven Sects?"
Han Li asked this seemingly casually. As far as he knew, there were very few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators outside the Seven Sects, although some large cultivator families still had quite a few, such as the Yan family.
"Seven Sects... oh, yes, I am a cultivator of the Spirit Beast Mountain. Could it be that you are also a cultivator of the Seven Sects?" When "Qu Hun" said this, his face was normal, but Han Li saw a trace of panic in his eyes, which made Han Li's suspicions rise greatly.
"So it is a Fellow Daoist from the Spirit Beast Mountain! I wonder if Miss Han Han Yunzhi of your noble mountain is doing well?" Han Li smiled lightly and asked slowly.
"Han Han Yunzhi... I am truly sorry. Because I have been in seclusion for many years, I really don't have much of an impression of some of the younger disciples." After hearing Han Li's question, Qu Hun was stunned for a moment, then gave a few dry laughs and said somewhat insincerely.
"You don't know her? Then what kind of people does Fellow Daoist know? You can casually name a few disciples for me to hear. I know many Fellow Daoists from the Spirit Beast Mountain; perhaps there are some I know!" Han Li continued to press on without changing his expression.
"This..." Qu Hun's face was somewhat panicked, and his eyeballs began to roll around again, looking very dishonest.
Looking at this person's stammering appearance, Han Li's face turned cold, and his expression became chilly.
"Fellow Daoist truly disappoints me! It seems you prefer to be forced rather than persuaded." Han Li said unceremoniously, then his body swayed forward, and then flashed back again.
"Qu Hun" remained motionless on the spot, but on his chest was an extra "Spirit-Fixing Talisman" that had been pasted on. He didn't even have a chance to react. This made his face change drastically, and he hurriedly shouted:
"Fellow Daoist, what is the meaning of this! We can discuss things..."
When this Spirit-Fixing Talisman is used against mortals, it can naturally make a mortal's body completely stiff, and even unable to speak. But against cultivators with a certain amount of magic power, the effect is a bit worse. Although it can similarly make a cultivator with low cultivation unable to move, speaking and various facial expression changes are not affected at all.
At this time, Han Li completely ignored this person's shouting, but instead took out a pitch-black alms bowl from his storage bag.
As soon as this object appeared, a gloomy aura permeated the area, causing the temperature of the nearby air to drop suddenly by several degrees. Then, bursts of ghost wailing and wolf howling sounds erupted from the alms bowl, and some eerie black mist circled around the alms bowl, making this magic treasure appear even more ghostly. It was precisely the "Soul-Gathering Bowl" that Han Li had just obtained not long ago.
Han Li held this magic treasure with one hand, looked at the other party gloomily, and then walked a few steps to the front of "Qu Hun" with an expressionless face.
Staring at the strange phenomenon of the alms bowl, this person first showed a look of shock and suspicion on his face. But immediately remembering something, his expression suddenly became tense, and he said somewhat unnaturally:
"What are you doing? Could it be that you want to use the Soul-Refining Technique?"
When he said the words "Soul-Refining Technique," a look of extreme fear appeared in his eyes.
The notorious magic art "Soul-Gathering Technique" is feared and avoided by everyone in the cultivation world, and even some toxic oaths between cultivators use this magic art to swear.
Generally, every sect and large family has people specifically assigned to practice this art. This is the most powerful punishment and deterrent against those who betray their sect and clan, and it has always been famous in the cultivation world for its cruelty.
It is said that those who practice this art can extract a person's primordial spirit and soul and torture them with specialized magic arts. It is said that the kind of direct stimulation of soul pain is something that even the most strong-willed person cannot endure for even a moment. Moreover, the more powerful a cultivator's primordial spirit is, the more intense the pain suffered, which truly makes all cultivators change their expressions at the mention of it.
Rumors about the Soul-Refining Technique are spread everywhere in the cultivation world. The most widely circulated one is that a cultivator who practices the Soul-Refining Technique will definitely practice a "soul weapon" that is closely connected to their own primordial spirit. Only by relying on this magic treasure can they perform the Soul-Refining Technique, making the soul of the person being operated on wish they were dead.
Not many people in the outside world have seen the shape of this soul weapon with their own eyes, but it has naturally been rumored by most cultivators to be gloomy and permeated with ghostly aura, which happens to be very similar to the image of this "Soul-Gathering Bowl" that contains the souls of hundreds of cultivators.
Therefore, the strange phenomenon that appeared as soon as this alms bowl was taken out, coupled with Han Li's previous threatening words, was mistaken by "Qu Hun" as Han Li actually knowing that terrifying "Soul-Refining Technique."
It is no wonder he would think so. Anyone who thinks of torturing a person's primordial spirit and soul first thinks of this magic art. How could this not make his soul fly out of the sky?
Hearing "Qu Hun's" words, Han Li had no expression on his face, but he was actually a bit surprised in his heart.
To tell the truth, when he took out this magic treasure, he didn't think of using the "Soul-Refining Technique" to intimidate the other party at all. He just wanted to use the gloomy cold aura of this bowl to give the other party's primordial spirit a bit of suffering. But now that this person actually thought he knew the Soul-Refining Technique and was extremely afraid, this made his heart move, and he prepared to let the mistake continue.
"I'll ask you one more time, what is your background, and why are you impersonating a Spirit Beast Mountain cultivator?" Han Li did not answer whether he was going to use the Soul-Refining Technique, but instead asked coldly again.
Han Li's way of avoiding the answer made this person even more convinced, and he couldn't help but look miserable. However, his lips moved a few times, and he still didn't look like he was going to speak.
Seeing this scene, Han Li stopped talking nonsense, but instead whispered a few incantations that he himself didn't understand, and then unceremoniously held the "Soul-Gathering Bowl" to the person's face.
Thinking back to the gloomy cold aura in the alms bowl, even a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator like Han Li would shiver upon contact. Now that "Qu Hun," whose realm had fallen to the Qi Condensation stage, was naturally even more unable to resist.
Therefore, as soon as the alms bowl was placed in front of him, this person felt that his whole body was extremely cold, as if his primordial spirit was about to be frozen, as if thousands of steel needles were piercing into the depths of his soul at the same time.
After only a moment, this person could no longer bear the pain. After a scream, the muscles on his face twisted and deformed.
"Don't be in a hurry, I haven't officially performed the magic art yet. The pain then will be a hundred times what it is now!" Han Li's elusive words suddenly sounded in his ears.
"A hundred times!" Hearing Han Li's words, this person was almost scared to the point of fainting.
He couldn't even bear the current pain for a moment. A hundred times that would surely make his primordial spirit dissipate from the pain on the spot. This was definitely that legendary "Soul-Refining Technique."
Having tasted the bitterness, "Qu Hun" no longer had any doubts. Therefore, seeing Han Li's appearance of pinching magic formulas again, he didn't dare to hold on and hurriedly changed his words:
"Fellow Daoist, please show mercy, I will tell you. Can you put away the soul weapon first, and please don't perform the Soul-Refining Technique again!"
Because of the invasion of the alms bowl's gloomy cold, his voice even changed when he spoke. If it weren't for the fact that he still had some spiritual power to protect his body, and the fact that Qu Hun's body was far stronger than an ordinary person's, he would have been stiffened long ago.
"If you had been so sensible earlier, wouldn't you have avoided this suffering!" Han Li showed an expression of "you brought this on yourself," and then casually put away the alms bowl.
In fact, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Because even if this person didn't say these words, Han Li would have put away the "Soul-Gathering Bowl" shortly after. Because the gloomy cold of this magic treasure made Han Li, who was directly touching it, also feel unable to bear it, and he really couldn't continue to hold it in his hand.
"Qu Hun" saw that Han Li really put away what he thought was a soul weapon, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's best not to think about using lies to muddle through. I can naturally use related magic arts to test the truth of what you say. I don't think you are stupid enough to make yourself dissipate and never reincarnate for the sake of some secret." Han Li's voice was extremely cold.
This sentence made "Qu Hun," who remembered the pain he had just suffered, couldn't help but tremble all over, his face looking extremely ugly!
