Chapter 542: Late Foundation Formation Completion
Han Li flicked his finger slightly, and the azure sword radiance silently pierced half an inch into the wall.
Seeing this, Han Li had not yet revealed any joy on his face when a red light flashed, and a layer of light veil appeared on the wall. The sword radiance was forcibly pushed back out.
Han Li’s expression darkened.
But after some thought, he was still a bit unwilling to give up.
He opened one hand, and a tiny sword about an inch long shot out from his palm. It circled once above his head and then steadily stopped in front of his chest.
Han Li secretly activated the sword art. A faint golden electric arc danced and bounced along the sword's body. Then the little sword rapidly spun within the azure light and fiercely plunged into the wall.
A muffled sound came through, and the evil-repelling divine thunder exploded.
Apart from a flashing red glow on the wall, nothing else changed.
A flicker of hope appeared in Han Li’s eyes, but was soon replaced by a hint of disappointment.
The little sword, aided by the thunder light, only penetrated another inch before being blocked. Deep within the wall, a faint multicolored glow still reflected.
This coral wall had been reinforced with extremely powerful multilayered restraints by that demonic cultivator.
It was simply impossible to break through the wall using just a magical treasure!
After retracting his magical treasure back into his body, Han Li furrowed his brows and instinctively placed a hand on the spiritual beast pouch at his waist.
He believed that no matter how marvelous the wall’s restraints were, they could not withstand the wild gnawing and biting of the golddevourer worm army.
But one thing made him hesitate to release the spiritual insects lightly.
The time it would take these insects to consume the restraints was probably not short.
With such a long duration, that demonic cultivator Feng Xi would definitely sense it and come to check.
Given the other party’s demonic speed, Han Li would have no chance to escape.
After turning the matter over again and again, Han Li shot a fierce glance at the coral wall but still wore a gloomy expression as he returned to the jade bed.
At this moment, he already felt a heat rising in his abdomen, indicating that the Jade Flame Wine was beginning to take effect.
Not knowing exactly what peculiar effect this wine had, Han Li dared not be negligent and had to put other thoughts aside, sitting cross-legged to begin refining his energy.
He closed his eyes and examined his inner condition. Frowning, he forced out a wisp of azure alchemy flame from the four-colored golden core. The tightly compressed jade green liquid instantly became wrapped by the alchemy flame.
Before long, Han Li’s face became expressionless as he remained motionless.
The process of refining the Jade Flame Wine was extremely slow. After more than a month, less than a quarter of the wine had been transformed.
It seemed the level 9 riftwind beast was not exaggerating when it said that half a year was needed.
But this speed was a bit too slow, making Han Li impatient.
If after half a year he still couldn’t timely enter late foundation formation, he believed that the riftwind beast named Feng Xi would not hesitate to claw his life away.
With that in mind, he decisively forced all the alchemy flame out of the golden core, producing nearly twice as thick a wisp of azure flame, which immediately enveloped all the remaining green liquid.
Han Li forcibly activated his magical power, accelerating the refining process.
This approach would also double the consumption of his magical power. Every so often, he regretfully swallowed a drop of Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Liquid to maintain the alchemy flame.
After two months of this lavish use of alchemy flame, the wine was finally two-thirds refined. It seemed he was on the verge of completely transforming it.
Han Li felt a slight relaxation in his heart.
At this moment, an unexpected event occurred.
On that day, in desperation, Han Li had swallowed the Qian Blue Ice Pearl. Later, due to great caution regarding the riftwind beast, he kept this precious item inside his body without taking it out.
