A Record of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 602: Blood Shadow Escape

This woman with the surname Mu had always been indifferent toward Han Li, and he was actually more satisfied with that.

It was best if she completely forgot about this place and didn’t come to disturb his cultivation. That made him even happier.

After another month passed, Han Li finally comprehended most aspects of the soul restraint magic formation.

Once he had a breakthrough in understanding, Han Li didn’t hesitate. He immediately set up the soul restraint formation outside his secluded mansion according to what he had realized.

With this, the faint spiritual energy fluctuations from those formations disappeared completely.

Looking at Little Stone Mountain from the outside, there was no sign of anything unusual.

Han Li was very pleased with this.

In the following two or three months, he successfully completed the refining of the Soul Resonance Orb and the dispelling of the wind spirit energy.

What surprised Han Li was that after the Soul Resonance Orb had been refined to the point where it was connected to his spiritual awareness, he didn’t feel any headaches or discomfort at all.

It seemed that the unexpected evolution of the wailing soul beast had also brought unforeseen changes to the Soul Resonance Orb, which was tied to its life and death.

Han Li was overjoyed.

As for the evil wind spirit energy, although it was very difficult to expel at first—and often left him utterly exhausted after each forced effort—once most of it was pushed out, the rest was much easier to deal with.

Not only was the pain caused by the evil qi greatly reduced, but the time needed to expel it was also significantly shortened.

In the last few attempts, Han Li cleared the remaining evil qi with great ease.

After carefully checking multiple times and confirming there was nothing abnormal left inside his body, he finally settled his mind.

With the most urgent matters taken care of, Han Li shifted his focus to cultivation and refining the Nine-Twisted Spiritual Ginseng pill.

After a few days of contemplation, he decided to cultivate the fourth layer of the great yin technique and the blue origin sword technique simultaneously.

Based on his previous foundation formation experience, a strong spiritual awareness seemed very beneficial for breaking through bottlenecks.

Although the fourth layer of the great yin technique was extremely difficult to practice, Han Li still planned to give it a try.

After all, while a strong spiritual awareness didn’t contribute much to forming the nascent soul, it had many advantages in combat and anticipating the enemy’s moves.

Even if this delayed his entry into the false nascent soul realm, he didn’t think it was a wrong choice.

He was willing to spend this time.

As for refining the Nine-Twisted Spiritual Ginseng pill, Han Li was even more meticulous.

Other ingredients might be easier to obtain, but the Nine-Twisted Spiritual Ginseng, the eighth-grade companion demonic herb, and the Agate Horn were all impossible to find in Tian Nan—no amount of spirit stones could buy them.

If the pill refining failed, Han Li would be left helpless, just staring blankly.

Therefore, besides cultivation, Han Li began studying the pill recipe for the Nine-Twisted Spiritual Ginseng pill and frequently refined other pills with similar steps and techniques to improve his pill refining skills.

In this way, time passed bit by bit amid constant cultivation and pill refining.

During this period, Han Li also learned the demonic race’s script, intending to understand what was recorded on the copper tablets and beast-hide manuscript in his possession.

Thanks to his photographic memory, he quickly mastered the ancient demonic script and translated the content of the beast-hide manuscript.

The beast-hide manuscript contained a demonic cultivation technique called the Nine Changes of the Gale.

After studying it for a while, Han Li found that this technique seemed specifically designed for avian demonic beasts.

It included a set of spell formations, a set of movement techniques, and two secret arts.
