Chapter 237: Paying Respects
Han Li had listened to the “Great Yin Technique” several times today. Senior Brother Lin had brought it to tempt him, and yet Han Li was able to casually flip through it and easily find the method. This honestly gave Han Li a feeling that was both unreal and absurd!
But the fact that Senior Brother Lin actually carried the “Great Yin Technique” cultivation method with him was truly unexpected.
Han Li really didn’t know whether this Senior Brother Lin was foolish or extremely clever!
Now, after briefly browsing through the Great Yin Technique on the jade slip, it was indeed as Senior Brother Lin had said—there were only four layers of incantations. In this aspect, the other party hadn’t lied to him.
But what followed shocked Han Li even more.
After he finished reading the Great Yin Technique, immediately after it appeared a scripture called “Puppet True Explanation.” It was filled with teachings on how to refine puppet beasts and humanoid puppets of various ranks—a very detailed encyclopedia on puppet making!
After looking for a while, Han Li’s expression became excited as he pulled back his mind, seeming extremely pleased! But then, glancing at the jade slip in his hand, he suddenly remembered something, and his expression grew strange.
The combination of the Great Yin Technique and the Puppet True Explanation, if cultivated together, was simply a perfect match.
As long as both were cultivated to a certain level, one could probably be like Huang Long back then—a single person relying on the power of numerous puppets to suppress several foundation establishment stage cultivators, leaving them no chance to resist!
This method of overpowering other foundation establishment stage cultivators made Han Li’s heart race with excitement!
However, the drawback to cultivating them was just as he had analyzed—it was very obvious! It could very well delay one’s own cultivation and cause the already slim chance of foundation formation to be completely lost. That would be a loss greater than the gain!
As for the claim that the Great Yin Technique could increase the chance of foundation formation, Han Li simply didn’t believe such baseless nonsense.
Han Li lowered his head and pondered; it was difficult to decide immediately!
He shook his head, put the jade slip into his storage bag, and planned to deal with it later.
After all, deciding whether to cultivate the “Great Yin Technique” and practice the puppet manufacturing technique that had come knocking on his door was too hasty now. It was better to calm down and consider it later.
Still, this discovery had stimulated Han Li.
It suddenly reminded him that although Huang Long and the others, both themselves and their storage bags, were wiped out completely by Lei Wanhe’s lightning sword light, it seemed some puppets had not yet been taken away—they were still outside the formation.
That was valuable stuff that shouldn’t be wasted!
Thinking this, Han Li cheerfully walked out of the grand formation.
Sure enough, not far outside the formation, he found puppet humans and mechanical beasts that had reverted to roughly palm size because no one was controlling them.
However, there weren’t as many as he had imagined—only about twenty or so. The rest had been swept away by Lei Wanhe’s sword light and turned to ashes.
Still, Han Li enthusiastically gathered them all one by one.
After sweeping up so many good things at once, Han Li still felt unsatisfied, almost wishing a hundred or eighty puppet dolls would appear so he could pick them up.
This kind of mindset made Han Li laugh at himself—he really was a little greedy!
After muttering a few self-mocking words, Han Li returned to his secluded mansion, intending to first study the two ancient prescriptions before doing anything else.
Tomorrow, he planned to go to that master, Li Huayuan, and see if he could get his hands on a good cultivation method.
…
Early the next morning, Han Li stood on the Divine Wind Boat, heading straight for the eastern part of the Taiyue Mountain Range.
