Chapter 584: Spirit-Connecting Qi
Hearing this woman's words, Han Li didn't say anything immediately, just frowned slightly. Net
"Fellow Daoist Mei, it can be considered fate that you and I were teleported here together. But since Miss Mei has said so, then I don't have to hide anything. As for Storm Mountain, I do have a few points of certainty that I can climb it. Whether it is the Yin wind and illusionary mist on Storm Mountain, or the flying Yin beasts entrenched halfway up the mountain, I have some small means to deal with them. However, this refers to me alone. If I were to bring others, I don't have the ability to take care of everything. If danger truly comes, I will be unable to even take care of myself, and Fellow Daoist will definitely die. You are still young, so it is better to stay here. Perhaps you will have other opportunities to leave here in the future!" Han Li said with a calm expression.
The last sentence was clearly meant to comfort her, and even Han Li himself felt it was somewhat hypocritical. But it was also a helpless situation.
Mei Ning heard these words, and her face turned pale again. She bit her red lips, speechless for a moment.
Han Li saw that this woman had nothing to say, sighed lightly, and closed his eyes again.
To tell the truth, he had a good impression of this woman, Mei Ning. If it weren't for his lack of ability, he might have really helped her.
But now, Han Li wouldn't recklessly increase his burden, so he had to harden his heart and leave her here.
Fortunately, even if she stayed in this Yin-Underworld Land, this beautiful woman wouldn't be in any danger to her life for the time being. At most, she would just give up the idea of further cultivation.
He wouldn't feel any unease because of this!
The room was silent. I don't know how much time passed. Just when Han Li thought this woman had given up and intended to take a short nap, Mei Ning's voice came again.
"If I can let you temporarily restore some magic power, would you be willing to take me away from here?"
"What?" Han Li's sleepiness flew away instantly, and he opened his eyes wide, looking at the other party in disbelief.
Mei Ning was curled up on the stone bed with her hands around her legs, her expression somewhat evasive, as if the words just now hadn't come from her mouth.
Just when Han Li also doubted if he had heard wrong, the woman stretched her body slightly, raised her head, and said with a look of determination in her beautiful eyes:
"I have a way to let you temporarily possess a bit of magic power again in a short time. Although there is only one chance, I think it will be of great help to you in escaping from here. However, as an exchange, apart from taking me away from here, you must also agree to another condition of mine."
After Mei Ning finished saying these words, her expression appeared somewhat unnatural, which made Han Li feel even more surprised and suspicious.
"It's not that I don't believe Miss Mei's words. But even Nascent Soul stage cultivators who arrived here had no way to restore their supernatural abilities. Is Miss Mei really not joking?" Han Li stared at the woman and asked with a solemn tone.
At this moment, apart from being full of suspicion, his face also contained a hint of expectation.
If he could really temporarily restore some magic power, his original fifty or sixty percent chance of escape would immediately become eighty or ninety percent.
After all, no matter how little magic power he possessed again, and no matter how short the time, it would be more than enough to open his spirit beast bag and storage bag.
The several treasures in his storage bag didn't need spiritual power to be activated and could automatically exert miraculous effects. Taking them out would naturally guarantee great safety.
As for the Gold-Devouring Beetles and Blood Jade Spiders in the spirit beast bag, because they needed spiritual sense to command, they couldn't be summoned to fight. But that Ti-Hun Beast, because the Soul-Calling Pearl was in its belly, could be barely commanded. And these Yin-Underworld beasts, although not souls or fierce ghosts, were also condensed from Yin-Underworld Qi and would definitely be easily restrained.
Thinking about this, Han Li naturally became excited.
"Brother Han doesn't know. Although I am not a cultivator with strange spiritual roots or heavenly spiritual roots, I have the body of a Phoenix-Marrow Jade. Brother Han should know what this represents, right? With this constitution, I can pass my Spirit-Connecting Qi to you through secret techniques. And the refined spiritual power of the Spirit-Connecting Qi is absolutely not something that this so-called Spirit-Extinguishing Qi can immediately seal. Of course, after a long time, once this Spirit-Connecting Qi dissipates, you will naturally return to your original state." The woman said in a low voice with a hint of hesitation.
"Phoenix-Marrow Jade body!" Han Li was stunned upon hearing this. But a moment later, he looked at the woman with a strange gaze, revealing a hint of realization on his face.
"That's right. If you don't believe me, you can come forward and check, and you will know that I am not lying." Han Li only hesitated for a moment before he didn't delay, stood up, and walked over.
Matters were of great importance; he had to be careful.
And just then, Mei Ning also gathered her courage, rolled up a sleeve, revealing a pink arm as white as jade, and on this arm, a bright red guard-palace mark was strikingly visible.
When Han Li reached her, the woman gritted her teeth and pressed her thumb on the guard-palace mark, then released it quickly.
Han Li, who was gazing from the stone bed, was moved.
He saw that the originally bright red guard-palace mark was gradually fading, and in contrast, a silver phoenix pattern appeared, with light flowing on it, vivid and lifelike, unbelievable.
"It really is a Spirit-Phoenix Jade!" Han Li murmured with a hint of surprise.
"Now you know that I wasn't lying." Mei Ning saw that Han Li had recognized the truth of her words, and didn't dare to let Han Li look more, hurriedly lowering her sleeve, her face full of redness.
Han Li nodded, didn't say anything, returned to his original place, sat down, and began to lower his head and ponder.
The Phoenix-Marrow Jade body, as the name suggests, only appears on women.
Although it cannot be compared to those with other special spiritual roots, it is not a rare constitution seen once in a hundred years. But female cultivators with this constitution are famous in the cultivation world, and almost everyone knows them. Because once these female cultivators reach the Foundation Establishment stage, a trace of refined Spirit-Connecting Qi will be born in their bodies.
This Spirit-Connecting Qi is known as one of the seven great refined spiritual powers in the world. Although it has no effect on the women themselves, it can allow the men who obtain it to cleanse their marrow and advance their cultivation.
Of course, this cleansing and cultivation-advancing effect is discounted for high-tier cultivators, but it is still a rare item comparable to ancient precious pills.
However, this Spirit-Connecting Qi can only be passed to a man when the woman is willing. Those who forcibly absorb or harvest it from women using various secret techniques cannot obtain the spiritual energy.
Moreover, a woman with a Phoenix-Marrow Jade body can only pass this trace of Spirit-Connecting Qi to one man in her life. Afterward, her body will no longer produce this spiritual energy. If she loses her virginity before this, the Spirit-Connecting Qi will also dissipate on its own.
Han Li organized the relevant things recorded in the classics he had read before.
He felt that if he could use some magic power at the moment of obtaining this spiritual energy, it would really be possible. After all, the name of the seven great refined spiritual powers in the world is not for nothing. It is enough for him to forcibly open his storage bag and spirit beast bag!
"Apart from asking me to take you away, Miss Mei, what other conditions do you have? Say them all at once." After thinking, Han Li raised his head, swept a glance at the woman's beautiful face, and asked very calmly.
"It's very simple. I hope Brother Han can find my brother and take him out of this Yin-Underworld Land together." Mei Ning hesitated for a moment before saying solemnly.
"I am afraid I can only agree to half of this condition!" Han Li didn't agree immediately, but thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Half?" Mei Ning's beautiful face revealed a hint of surprise, clearly not understanding.
"Yes. I have other reasons and absolutely cannot stay in this Yin-Underworld Land for too long. I can only promise Miss Mei to try my best to find your brother within three months. If the time passes and he is still not found, then I will not delay any longer and must leave this place immediately." Han Li said resolutely, his tone full of unquestionable meaning.
"Three months! This place doesn't seem very big, so it should be about enough. Fine, I agree." Mei Ning hesitated slightly, perhaps feeling that Han Li wouldn't compromise on this, and nodded in agreement.
Han Li saw this woman agree so readily, and a hint of a smile appeared on his face. But at this moment, Mei Ning stared at Han Li and suddenly said slowly:
"Although I haven't been in contact with you for long, I believe I won't misjudge your character. So I won't ask you to make any poisonous oaths. I just want to ask when you need this trace of Spirit-Connecting Qi. If you want it now, I won't hesitate and will pass it to you immediately."

When Han Li heard this woman agree so readily, a trace of a smile appeared on his face. But at this moment, Mei Ning stared at Han Li and suddenly said slowly:
"Although I haven't spent much time with you, Fellow Daoist, I believe I am not mistaken about your character. Therefore, I will not ask you to swear any poisonous oaths or the like. I only ask when you will need this strand of spiritual energy. If Brother Han needs it now, I will not hesitate to pass it to you immediately."
