Wu Shattered Star River

Refining flesh is much more complex than refining skin, because muscles are divided into many pieces, and each piece of muscle is different.

Refining flesh is not just about making each piece of muscle strong, but also about making it elastic and resilient.

With ten kinds of spiritual materials, Jiang Han still cannot refine them all at once. Each time, he can only refine a little bit, and then use it to refine a piece of muscle. This is a very complex and tedious task.

With the experience of refining skin, Jiang Han found it easy to refine flesh. There was almost no difficulty, just refining piece by piece according to the steps.

However, refining flesh takes a long time, because it needs to be refined little by little, and there are so many muscles all over the body.

Jiang Han spent a full half a year refining his flesh before he successfully refined all his muscles.

Jiang Han breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He had already completed the second transformation. Even if the next four transformations take longer, it should be successful in ten or eight years, right?

Even if it takes more time, it should be possible to successfully cultivate in twenty years, right?

By then, he can go to the Land of Eternal Night to find Ye Wanqiu and unlock the mark in his soul.

The current problem is that spiritual materials are difficult to find. The spiritual materials needed for the fourth, fifth, and sixth transformations have not been found. Qingdi, Jiang Henshui, the Southern Heavenly Emperor, and the Northern Heavenly Emperor are all searching, but there is no news.

In addition, Tianyin Pavilion, as the largest chamber of commerce in the Heavenly Court, has been helping to search, but they still can't find it, which means that the Heavenly Court does not have many spiritual materials.

Jiang Han decided to rest for a while after leaving seclusion.

After he came out, he found that Qinglin was indeed living in Qingdi Palace, and Yinghuo had also been living there. Now, if he wants to see his wife and children, he has to run to Tianxian Court.

After living in Dongdi Mountain for a few days and accompanying Si Li, Jiang Nian, and Jiang Anxiaoyu, Jiang Han took a few children to Tianxian Court to see Qinglin.

Qinglin is growing up very well. It is estimated that he has been fed a lot of mild divine medicine. He is not even one year old, but he can already walk unsteadily.

After living in Qingdi Palace for a few days, Jiang Han went to the Yu family.

Upon learning that Jiang Han had arrived, the Yu family's old master personally came out and welcomed Jiang Han in.

"Husband!"

Yu Xi greeted Jiang Han with a smile. A group of people walked into the main hall. Many of Yu Xi's fathers and uncles came upon hearing the news, and the hall was very lively.

After exchanging greetings for a while, Jiang Han talked about business, about the situation of those spiritual materials that had not been found.

The Yu family's old master waved his hand to let the others retreat, leaving only Yu Xi. The Yu family's old master took out a list and said, "The spiritual materials you need, the ones above have already been found, and the ones in the middle are confirmed to exist, but it will take time to get them."

"The bottom eight, five of them have some news, and the last three have no news at all."

Jiang Han took the list, his brows furrowed.

These are only the spiritual materials for the first six transformations. The spiritual materials needed for the seventh, eighth, and ninth transformations will probably be even more difficult to find.

He didn't look at the ones above, his eyes fell on the last eight spiritual materials. He asked, "Where are these five spiritual materials with news? Is it difficult to obtain them?"

Yu Xi explained, "These two are actually not difficult. One is in the Abyss of Hell, and the other is with the Demon Clan. We are trying to find a way to buy them from the Demon Clan's high-level officials. Husband, you also know that the Demon Clan is at war, so it is not easy to contact them."

"Demon Clan?"

Jiang Han smiled. The affairs of the Dark Spy Division need to be kept secret, so Yu Xi doesn't know that he has a dozen demon kings under his command. Isn't it easy to get a spiritual material?

He said, "Don't worry about this Demon Blood Crystal, I'll get it. Don't worry about the spiritual materials in the Abyss of Hell either, I'll go to the Abyss of Hell to search for them."

"No need!"

The Yu family's old master said, "I'm planning to go to the Abyss of Hell recently, and I'm going to search for the remaining spiritual materials. This old bone of mine hasn't been active for a long time, so I'll just go and move around."

"Old Master!"

Jiang Han has been to the Abyss of Hell. That place is very sinful. The Yu family's old master is not young. How could Jiang Han let him suffer?

He quickly said, "I'll go, you need any spiritual materials, I'll help you search."

"Hahaha!"

The Yu family's old master laughed and said, "Jiang Han, are you looking down on me, the old man? I am also a Celestial Emperor anyway, and I have a lot of treasures. I have been to this Abyss of Hell many times, so you don't need to make a special trip for a spiritual material."

"Alright!"

The Yu family's old master said so, Jiang Han couldn't say anything, he could only cup his fists.

Yu Xi pointed to the remaining two spiritual materials and said, "It is said that this spiritual material is only available in the Land of Eternal Night. We are arranging for the spies there to find a way to buy it. However, this spiritual material belongs to the highest level of spiritual materials, and ordinary chambers of commerce cannot buy it, so it will take time."

"Land of Eternal Night!"

Jiang Han secretly remembered it in his heart. The Dark Spy Division has already begun to deploy in the Land of Eternal Night, so he can let the spies there pay attention.

It's just as Yu Xi said, many high-level spiritual materials cannot be bought by chambers of commerce at all, and are controlled by powerful families, so buying them is very troublesome.

Yu Xi pointed to the last two spiritual materials and said, "These two spiritual materials are confirmed to exist, but the place where they are located is very dangerous. Non-Emperor-level people who enter will die. I was just about to go back and tell you, why don't you make a trip yourself?"

"Oh?"

Jiang Han curiously asked, "Where are these two spiritual materials?"

"Fallen Immortal Lake!"

Yu Xi said, "It's in the bottom of the lake in the very center of Fallen Immortal Lake."

"Uh…"

Jiang Han was stunned. He had been to this place before. He once entered the Shengxu Secret Realm from here, and he got the Shengxu Blade inside. Fallen Immortal Lake actually has top-level spiritual materials?

"That's not right!"

Jiang Han asked in surprise, "I've been to Fallen Immortal Lake. That place is not too dangerous, right? Why is it that non-Emperor-level people who enter will die?"

Yu Xi explained, "A secret realm has recently appeared at the bottom of Fallen Immortal Lake, attracting many cultivators to search for treasures, but there are many corpse beasts and underworld beasts inside. The powerful corpse beasts and underworld beasts have combat power comparable to the Emperor-level, so many cultivators who enter have died."

"The Heavenly Court has sent several Emperor-level people in, confirming that non-Emperor-level people who enter the core area of that secret realm will die. Those two spiritual materials are… in a big mountain in the core area."

"Corpse beasts and underworld beasts are so powerful?"

Jiang Han was secretly surprised. Yu Xi explained, "During the Dingding Battle, too many strong men and soldiers died in Fallen Immortal Lake. It may be that the Yin Qi is too heavy, connecting to the underworld, causing many powerful creatures from the underworld to come out. Many underworld beasts have very terrifying combat power, and some Emperor-level people can't kill them."

"Okay!"

Jiang Han nodded and said, "I'll take some time to go there recently. You arrange someone to be in Fallen Immortal Lake. When I get there, I'll contact him and let him lead the way for me. Also, get me a copy of the spiritual material's portrait."

"Husband!"

Yu Xi thought for a while and instructed, "Why don't you take Uncle Tuo and Uncle Yao with you? If something happens, you'll have someone to take care of you!"

Jiang Han wanted to say that if he couldn't handle it, it would be meaningless to bring Tian Tuo and Tian Yao.

But Yu Xi was concerned about him, so he naturally wouldn't say much, smiled and said, "Okay, I'm going back to the Eastern Realm, are you going back?"

Yu Xi shook her head and said, "There are still three spiritual materials that have no news at all. I'll stay here for a while longer and mobilize people to search more."
