A Mortal's Story of Cultivation into Immortality

Upon hearing Han Li's words, the forgetful look on the old Taoist's face disappeared without a trace, and he calmed down again:

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Han plans to use this to blackmail Pindao."

"Blackmail? What you said is wrong. So far, I have never asked fellow Taoist for anything of substance. Instead, I have given away several rare soul stones. If fellow Taoist feels that it is not a good deal, the second question should be taken as Han I have never asked. I will never take these soul stones back." Han Li said as usual.

Upon hearing this, Master Tianjing's face froze, and then became uncertain.

Han Li was not in a hurry and stood on the opposite side without any intention of urging him.

"With the puppet technique I gave you, you can roughly tell the truth from the false. But the words you said about the underworld beast, how do I know if they are lies?" After a while, the old Taoist said coldly.

"To be honest, even if my fellow Taoist knew about the land of the underworld beast, he still wouldn't be able to enter it. Not only is it extremely dangerous, but even if you get in by chance, you will never come back. I only escaped death when I ordered you to do it. However, even if you don't believe me, As I said, the soul stones are genuine. If I exchange part of them for the puppet refining technique in your hands, my fellow Taoist will not suffer any loss. Otherwise, even if there is no puppet refining technique, what is the use without the soul stone?" Han Li He said slowly and calmly.

After hearing these words, Master Tianjing frowned and showed hesitation on his face.

"Okay! I don't have the time to wonder whether the source of the soul stone you said is true or false. I just want to ask my friend, how many soul stones do you want to exchange for the puppet refining technique? If the number is too small, I'd better keep it for myself. "The old Taoist weighed the pros and cons and finally said with a calm expression.

"It depends on the value of the ancient puppet technique provided by fellow Taoist. If you can only refine those puppets in the daytime, even if you show them to me for free, I won't be interested." Han Li felt happy in his heart. His face remained calm.

"Those puppets I exchanged for things during the day are just defective products that I found in the ruins. From what my fellow Taoist said, it seems that the more powerful the puppets that can be refined, the more soul stones you will give." The old Taoist said. He said with a strange look on his face.

"Yeah! That's what I mean. If you can refine a puppet technique with a full-strength strike that is more powerful than the Nascent Soul stage, I will just give the real person twenty or thirty soul stones. What's the harm?" Han Li pursed his lips and said calmly.

"Are they all the same quality soul stones they were given at the beginning?" Master Tianjing asked seriously.

"Could it be that the ancient puppetry technique can really create a puppet equivalent to a Nascent Soul monk?"

Han Li was surprised at first, then overjoyed, and said without hesitation:

"Since Han said it, it is definitely not a lie."

"Okay, these are the jade slips refined by the ancient puppets. No need to borrow anything, just give them to fellow Taoists." The old Taoist quickly took out a white jade slip from his storage bag and gave it to Han Li directly. Then there was a hint of fox-like cunning on his face.

Han Li was startled by the other party's actions. There was a faint feeling in my heart that something was wrong. But after thinking about it, he picked up the jade slip without any politeness and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness.

As a result, after a while, Han Li's face turned red and white. As soon as he withdrew his consciousness, he stared at Master Tianjing without saying a word.

"What? There are several kinds of puppets provided in this puppet technique. The most advanced one can even match the attack of a monk in the middle stage of the Soul. Isn't it still in line with the requirements of fellow Taoists?" The old Taoist said with a smile.

"Hmph! Why doesn't it fit in? But the main material required by these puppets is actually something astonishing as ten thousand years of iron wood. There are also other auxiliary materials, not to mention rare, there are several that I haven't even heard of I said, where should I go to find it?" Han Li looked annoyed.

"Hey! I can't help you with this matter. However, aren't there pictures of various materials on it? Maybe fellow Taoist has a good chance to gather all the materials for the puppet?" Master Tianjing said slowly instead.

"Have you found all the materials mentioned above, fellow Taoist Tianjing? Otherwise, why would you collect soul stones everywhere?" To the surprise of the old Taoist, the anger on Han Li's face quickly faded, and he immediately asked.

"When did Pindao say that he was going to refine the puppets himself? I just found two semi-finished high-level puppets in the ruins, and after integrating the soul stones into them, they can be used. Why bother to do it myself. Tianjing Zhenren said without changing his expression.

"You..." Han Li was speechless for a moment. This old man is really difficult to deal with!

"Okay, I have handed over the puppet refining technique to fellow Daoist Han, and I, the poor fellow..."

"for you!"

Han Li didn't wait for the old Taoist to finish speaking with a faceless smile. He flicked his long sleeves on the table in annoyance. After a green light flashed, a small pile of soul stones appeared there out of thin air.

The crystal light is sparkling and eye-catching.

Master Tianjing was overjoyed, but felt a little embarrassed. When he wanted to say something else, Han Li waved his hand and said:

"This time Han accidentally suffered a loss. But he won't have any complaints. Now that everything has been cleared, I'll take my leave." Han Li cupped his hands and turned around and left the attic with a depressed look on his face. Without even looking back.

The old man looked at Han Li's retreating figure, first shook his head with squinted eyes, then nodded, and then calmly put all the crystals into the storage bag.

This time, there was another puppet refining technique that was not used at all, and in exchange for so many soul stones, he was naturally extremely satisfied.

With this pile of soul stones, it is enough to completely complete those half-finished puppets.

However, Han Li took out so many soul stones at once, which really surprised him, and he couldn't help but think highly of Han Li.

What the old Taoist didn't know was that Han Li, who was walking a few streets away, had long since wiped away the depressed look on his face. Instead, he was fiddling with the white jade slip with one hand and wearing a strange smile.

Thousands of years of iron wood is unlikely to others. But it's not a problem for him. It just takes a little longer.

As for several other unnamed materials, if he remembered correctly, they seemed to be found in the remains of the puppets in the Xutian Temple.

If he is lucky, he should be able to piece together the materials for several puppets. Of course, in addition to these materials, there are also some other rare auxiliary materials, which will take some time to collect. These full-power attacks are almost equivalent to the puppets of Yuanying monks. After being refined, they are naturally powerful. The puppet technique that he had given up on could once again become one of his trump cards.

It is a pity that although the jade slips record several refining methods equivalent to the pill-forming monks' puppets.

But the materials used for this kind of lower-level puppet are also not easily found in the world of immortality. Some of the materials have been extinct for who knows how many years. Otherwise, having five or six of these puppets at one time will not pose any threat to the Nascent Soul Stage monks. But if hundreds of them can be refined like before, the Yuanying monks will still have to retreat three feet.

However, Han Li could only think about this idea.

He knew without guessing that even if there were materials that could be used to refine this kind of pill-forming puppet, the cost of the materials would definitely be equivalent to the price of an ordinary magic weapon. Not to mention more than a hundred, even dozens of them, Han Li couldn't afford them.

Refining hundreds of third-level puppets of Qianzhu Cult in the past almost bankrupted him. He even sold many of the monster materials at that time to get enough money for the materials. But now they pale in comparison to these puppets.

Han Li thought with a wry smile in his heart, then after identifying the person below, he ran directly to the west gate of Tiantian City.

Although it was getting late now, to him, there was no difference between day and night. He would go to find the Gengjing master first.

Compared with refining foreign objects such as puppets, the most important thing to do is to improve the power of your own magic weapon.

After all, the improvement of the natal magic weapon has endless potential.

I hope the Gengjing master’s conditions are not too excessive. It would be best if I could exchange it for some demon pills.

Han Li could only think in a good direction.

…

Half a month later, the century-old trade fair was officially held. Many monks from all over Tiannan poured into this city of monks.

The auction house in the city even auctioned various treasures on the second day of the trade fair.

The many rare items in the hall attracted many wealthy monks. A large number of high-level monks poured into the auction house one after another.

The auctions that lasted for several days made the auction hall extremely lively.

When today's auction came to an end, there were a few items that were particularly sought after by many high-level monks, and even some monks took advantage of the power of their sects to participate.

"Seven hundred and sixty thousand spiritual stones, this piece of Geng spirit was obtained by this fellow Taoist." A middle-aged monk standing at the front of the auction hall said with a smile on his face.

On the sandalwood table in front of him, there was an emerald green tray, which contained an inconspicuous pale golden ore the size of a walnut.

As a result, a monk with a blurry face wearing a silver robe walked out of the stage excitedly, stepped forward to hand over the spirit stone, and then took the Geng Jing away.

Han Li, who was also sitting in the audience, sighed softly. Suddenly he stood up and walked out of the auction hall. No matter how precious the items auctioned below are, they have nothing to do with him.

That night, he easily found Master Gengjing with his spiritual consciousness. But what the other party wanted to exchange was actually a seventh-level beast egg or another legendary treasure refining material called "One God Mud". Han Li didn't. After the conversation was ineffective, he could only return disappointed.

But from the other party's mouth, Han Li also learned that the piece of Geng Essence was not big, and he got it. It's only enough to mix in seven or eight flying swords, but it's still not enough.

But nevertheless. When today's auction involving Geng Jing began, Han Li still participated.

But as soon as the price exceeded 500,000 spirit stones, Han Li gave up on it completely.

It seems that his Dagong Sword Formation will not be able to be used in a short time.

After leaving the auction house, Han Li did not go there again, but went around to several markets. I took advantage of this trade fair to collect some of the materials for refining the ancient puppets.

Although there are still many materials missing, the cultivation of ten thousand year old iron wood also takes a lot of time and green liquid. It is impossible to refine the ancient puppet of the Nascent Soul stage right now, but if you give him enough time, after refining the puppet in the future, his strength will be greatly increased immediately.

Then, Han Liren went straight to a corner of Tiantian City.

Today is already the fourth day of the trade fair. He remembered what Marquis Nanlong had said to him, and he was a little curious, so he followed the place mentioned in the jade slip and walked for a while and found this place.

After Han Li briefly scanned the surroundings with his spiritual consciousness, he stood in front of a seemingly ordinary stone house.

On the surface, this stone house seems to be just two isolated rooms connected to each other, which is inconspicuous.

He walked over and pondered for a moment. Before he could raise his hand and knock on the door, the door rang softly and opened on its own in front of his surprised eyes.

A bearded man wearing a jade crown and purple robe walked out with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Han, you are finally here. Let me introduce some of my comrades to get to know you." Marquis Nanlong seemed to have known that it was Han Li who was standing outside the door. As soon as he stood in front of Han Li, he greeted him with a cheerful face.
