A Record of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 642: Inverted Phoenix Foundation Cultivation Technique

“Understood, Young Lord!” Mu Peiling’s face flushed slightly as she whispered softly.

“You should go back and prepare, choosing one of the subsidiary peaks to open a secluded mansion. This is the sealing command token for the nearby grand formation. Carry it with you and you can freely enter and exit the magic formation I’ve laid out. Once everything is arranged, I will cast the forbidden divine technique on you, and only then will you officially become my concubine. However, I must say this upfront: I don’t care if you had any sweetheart or ideal partner before. Since you are now my servant concubine, all those ties must be completely severed. If you remain entangled or have any dealings with them, don’t blame me for being ruthless. If you want to back out now, it’s still not too late,” Han Li said coldly, withdrawing a purple jade token from his body and placing it on the table, his audacious gaze withdrawing.

Mu Peiling smiled coolly without hesitation, her delicate hand reaching out gracefully to take the jade token. “I entered the sect young and have devoted myself entirely to cultivation. How could I have a sweetheart? Besides, since I have made up my mind, I will not be fickle.”

Han Li nodded in response and said nothing further. Then he summoned a giant ape puppet, instructing it to escort Mu Peiling out of the main hall.

Seeing the puppet, a flash of surprise crossed her eyes. She was amazed at how powerful the puppet seemed and wondered why the white-clad maid from that day had vanished without a trace.

Still, she knew better than to pry into certain taboo matters, so she obediently followed the puppet out of the secluded mansion without asking a word.

“Master intends to take this woman as a concubine as punishment, so why agree to the thirty-year pact? Could it be the master has other plans?” As the cold and beautiful woman left, from an apparently unoccupied corner of the hall, Silver Moon appeared after a brief shimmer. She had already transformed back into the form of a white fox.

“Of course I have plans. Actually, even if this woman hadn’t said anything, I wouldn’t have harmed her before she reached foundation formation,” Han Li replied calmly without denial.

“Oh? Why is that?” The white fox leapt onto the table before Han Li, her shiny black eyes spinning rapidly, her snow-white fur making her look irresistibly cute.

Han Li smiled faintly, clearly in a good mood.

He didn’t answer immediately but instead pulled out a pink jade slip from his waist and placed it on the table.

“Do you remember the storage pouch I took from that young lord of the six paths? This jade slip was found inside it. I studied it afterwards and discovered it contained various demonic path dual cultivation techniques.”

Silver Moon was taken aback, lowering her head to examine the jade slip, then looking back up at Han Li with a hint of doubt on her face.

She knew that since Han Li had produced this item, he would explain it clearly.

Sure enough, Han Li traced a finger gently over the pink jade slip and said slowly, “The other secret arts recorded here are nothing special. Though stronger than ordinary dual cultivation techniques, they aren’t overwhelmingly better. However, two secret arts stand out. One is the ‘Dragon Summoning Technique,’ suitable only for core formation stage cultivators. It allows a core formation cultivator to continuously absorb the true yin essence from specially gifted female cultivators, causing a sudden surge in cultivation. But this technique harms the female cultivators to some extent, draining much of their vital energy. Therefore, the male cultivator benefits most when he has many concubines nearby. The heir of the six paths we saw that day, with numerous foundation establishment stage female cultivators around him, must have practiced this technique. Otherwise, even with exceptional talent, it would be impossible to reach the late core formation stage at such a young age. He certainly didn’t have any mysterious little bottle that accelerates spirit medicine.”
