Chapter 187 Mulan Holy Bird!
Dongyu Country, the Union of Casual Cultivators.
After listening to Han Li's account of what happened to him and Nangong Wan in the Demon Valley, Li Mufeng looked at Nangong Wan deeply.
He didn't expect that even after searching so carefully, he still hadn't found Lingmiao Garden, and then they just happened to come across it?
The key factor here is definitely not Han Li, but Nangong Wan.
It sounds like such an opportunity is incredible, but when you think about Nangong Wan’s future opportunities, it seems inexplicably normal.
Others who ascended to the spiritual world had to risk their lives, but she happened to encounter two true spirits fighting each other, and both of them died. So she got two extremely complete corpses of true spirits for free, and even the true spirit crystal cores were still there.
It turns out that people with backgrounds are different.
Compared with those two complete true spirits, this opportunity is not even a drop in the bucket.
"Brother Feng, you have banned people from entering the Demon Valley before. Have you discovered the ancient demon sealed in it a long time ago?" Han Li asked curiously.
"Well, luckily only two were released this time. I found more than ten ancient demons alone. However, the two that escaped this time were among the most powerful. They should belong to the same person. One was a split soul occupying the body, and the other was the main soul taking over the body of a cultivator. Finally, another ancient demon's body was found in the Jinguang Temple."
Li Mufeng nodded and said helplessly: "I was originally planning to deal with it after breaking through the late Nascent Soul stage, but I didn't expect that at this critical point, things turned out like this."
“Perhaps Tiannan is destined to have this disaster.”
"More than ten." When Nangong Wan heard the number, she covered her red lips in surprise.
"I see." Han Li nodded, and then he talked about another thing.
"Brother Feng, I heard from the great elder of the Tiandao League that you have a lot of Gengjin, and even the legendary refining crystal. I wonder if you can exchange some for me?"
"This time I found a lot of rare spiritual medicines in Lingmiao Garden, and some of them are exactly what you need."
"You want to use it to practice the Great Geng Sword Formation, right? But I gave most of it to Jiang Chen. How much do you need?"
Li Mufeng did not refuse, but asked.
"I have refined almost thirty-six flying swords. As for refining crystals, I haven't refined even one flying sword yet." Han Li said truthfully.
"Husband, if you put it that way, does President Li know how much you want?" Nangong Wan looked at Han Li with some confusion.
During the decades they spent together in Lingmiao Garden, the two of them had expressed their feelings to each other.
"Wan'er, the Qingyuan Sword Technique that I practice is also a thing with a great origin. It was found for me by Brother Feng." Han Li explained to Nangong Wan through voice transmission.
"Do you think these are enough?" Li Mufeng took out a piece of Geng gold that was a circle larger than his fist, and several pieces of refining crystals.
"Enough." Han Li nodded excitedly after seeing it.
"Are you sure you want to refine the crystal? When I asked Jiang Chen, he did not choose to integrate the refined crystal into the flying sword." Li Mufeng reminded.
After hearing this reminder, Han Li thought for a while, but still nodded. Jiang Chen should have made some progress in his swordsmanship.
He didn't have the talent like Jiang Chen, so he should just increase the power of the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword.
"Brother Feng, can you take a look at these spiritual herbs?" Han Li then handed Li Mufeng a few boxes.
"Yes, it's okay." Li Mufeng checked it and nodded.
"By the way, Brother Feng, the elixir you asked me to help ripen, my little green bottle was not able to work in that space crack, so it has not been ripened yet." Han Li seemed to remember something and explained to Li Mufeng.
"It's okay, take your time." Li Mufeng waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Little green bottle?" Hearing these three words, Nangong Wan looked at Han Li with some confusion.
Something was wrong with Han Li! He was actually hiding a secret from her with another man!
"By the way, Xiao Han, haven't you noticed that there's something wrong with your body recently?" Li Mufeng looked Han Li's body up and down and asked.
"Brother Feng, you have discovered it too. I also discovered it after entering the middle stage of the Nascent Soul." Hearing Li Mufeng's reminder, Han Li smiled bitterly helplessly.
"I reminded you as early as when we were in the Chaos Star Sea." Li Mufeng said meaningfully.
"I didn't think so much about it at the time." Han Li smiled bitterly.
"You are currently surrounded by evil spirits. It is best not to fight with other cultivators to avoid wasting too much mana and vitality. This jade slip records a technique called the Five Ghosts Locking God Technique, which can temporarily solve the problem of evil spirits in you."
"But if you want to solve it permanently, you may have to find time to go to Dajin and find Confucian or Buddhist techniques there to completely solve the problem of evil spirits."
Li Mufeng handed Han Li a jade slip and then reminded him.
"Thank you, Brother Feng." Han Li nodded.
Then the two chatted for a while and then parted ways.
Han Li brought Nangong Wan back to Luoyun Sect. He still preferred staying here.
After all, no one here can discover his secret, but it is different in the guild of casual cultivators.
Speaking of Luoyun Sect, Han Li now has a considerable influence, which was developed by his registered disciple Liu Yu.
After Han Li returned to Luoyun Sect, he began to study the Five Ghosts Locking God Technique given to him by Li Mufeng.
This secret technique was originally used to control the insane practice of Dayan Jue, but it is also effective against evil spirits.
Use evil spirits as a lure to attract the five ghosts to possess you and suppress the evil spirits in your body.
However, the restrictions are not entirely evil, even cultivation will be sealed.
Han Li estimated that if he used the Five Ghosts Locking God Technique, his cultivation level might only be at the middle or late stage of foundation building.
Anyway, it will definitely not exceed the Jindan stage.
The magic weapon certainly could not be used, so Han Li planned to formally practice the second Nascent Soul secret technique and refine a Nascent Soul-level puppet.
This way he would have more power to save his life.
After helping Han Li collect materials and protecting him, Nangong Wan went to Dajin first to see if she could bring back Confucian or Buddhist skills for Han Li.
Nowadays, there are free cultivators' guilds in Tiannan, Mulan Grassland and Tianlan Grassland, and with the ancient teleportation array, things have become much more convenient.
But it is still very dangerous. After all, the independent cultivators' union is only there to ensure the stability of the situation. If someone is killed, it is impossible for them to avenge you.
Of course, in order to ensure the prosperity of business, fighting is strictly prohibited within a certain area controlled by the Loose Cultivators' Union. If you want to fight, find a place farther away.
Han Li wanted to dissuade her, but there was nothing he could do as Nangong Wan insisted, so he had to let her go.
A few years later, Han Li's Nascent Soul puppet of the early Nascent Soul stage was perfected, and he also had several puppets comparable to the Core Formation stage, and the cultivation of the second Nascent Soul was also completed.
Nangong Wan had gone to Dongyu City a long time ago and paid a certain amount of spirit stones. She then took the ancient teleportation array to Tianlan Grassland, and then went to Dajin from Tianlan Grassland.
Mulan Grassland, Mulan Holy Court.
Now the preparations for Mulan Shengqin's surrender have been completed.
There is a big difference between the descent of the Mulan Holy Bird and the Tianlan Holy Beast. The descent of the Mulan Holy Bird does not require any sacrifices or even any special rituals, but requires the Mulan people to refine a five-element spiritual body.
This five-element spiritual body requires a lot of rare materials, not only that, but also the feathers of spiritual birds with the five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, in order to be refined.
There is no free lunch in the world. It is impossible for an upper-world being like Mulan Shengqin to allow a group of people from the lower world to keep relying on his power.
The Mulan people are now severely weakened and naturally cannot produce so many rare materials.
Fortunately, at this time, Saint Mulan advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage and became Li Mufeng's concubine. In addition, Li Mufeng also wanted to find the location of the spiritual world through the Holy Bird Mulan.
So he helped with this part of the materials.
The refined five-element spiritual body looks like a five-colored peacock.
Because the next Saint Mulan has not yet reached the required level of cultivation, the task of summoning the Holy Bird clone this time is still left to Le Ya.
Le Ya carefully took the ancient bronze lamp and held it in her palm.
Le Ya raised the ancient lamp into the air, opened her lips slightly, and a wisp of white fire spewed out of her mouth, lighting the ancient lamp.
With his hands clasped into the shape of a lotus, he slowly uttered a low and obscure spell, and a white lotus blossomed under his body, like a fairy from heaven, gracefully standing above him.
The sound of the incantation was full of an indescribable barbaric atmosphere.But the copper lamp trembled suddenly, phantoms appeared one after another, and nine identical ancient lamps flashed out.
After circling for a while, they formed a Z-shaped formation and slowly rotated in the air.
Le Ya flicked her jade finger, and nine spells of different colors shot onto the ancient lamp. A green light burst out, and nine flames flew out from the lamp at the same time, condensing together in the center of the word "品", and turned into a ball of green flame the size of a head.
With a "pop" sound, the woman sprayed a mouthful of blood on the green flames. The flames suddenly increased by several feet and were dazzling.
After a while, a clear cry came out, and a blue bird about a foot big emerged from the firelight.
This bird has a light body, long green feathers, and a pair of fiery red eyes that shine like gems. It is actually a gorgeous green peacock.
It looked around with an arrogant look, and saw Le Ya just below it. It tilted its neck slightly, and some barbaric language from ancient times came out of its sharp mouth.
The woman surnamed Le bowed respectfully to the bird three times, and then uttered the same words from Tan's mouth and started a conversation.
During the conversation with Saint Mulan, Saint Mulan learned that the Five Elements Spirit Body had been refined.
When Le Ya took out the Five Elements Spirit Body again and sprayed a mouthful of blood on it, the Five Elements Spirit Body burst into colorful light, and Mulan Shengqin showed a hint of joy in his eyes.
Then it turned into a five-colored spiritual light and rushed in.
"Woo——"
After a clear cry, the five elements spirit body came to life.
Mulan Shengqin spent so much time and effort, which was certainly not without benefit. This Five Elements Spirit Body perfectly suited its needs, so at the beginning of his descent, his cultivation level had reached that of a late Nascent Soul stage tenth-level demon beast.
There is no need to practice slowly on your own like the Tianlan Holy Beast.
"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist." Mulan Shengqin had talked with Le Ya for a while before, and knew that this body of his was refined with the help of Li Mufeng.
And it was much better than it had imagined, and Mulan Shengqin felt very comfortable about it.
This perfect body can withstand its more powerful power and save it tens of thousands of years of hard training. However, it is destined to take longer for her soul to completely adapt to and transform into her own body.
"Congratulations, fellow Taoist, for successfully surrendering." A smile appeared on Li Mufeng's face and he cupped his hands.
After taking a look at the blue peacock that was still holding the beast's body, Li Mufeng asked curiously, "Daoyou is not from the demon clan, could it be that you are from the Feiling clan or the Wuguang clan?"
"Huh? I didn't expect that although fellow Daoist is in the human world, he knows a lot about the affairs of the spiritual world." The Green Peacock looked at Li Mufeng in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party actually knew about their Feiling clan.
"I have been planning for this day for thousands of years, and finally succeeded. It was not easy, but I finally survived." Mulan Shengqin said with some emotion.
After expressing his emotion, a trace of sadness flashed in Mulan Shengqin's eyes. This time, the body and soul left in the spiritual world were definitely gone, and he had to start all over again.
His situation was somewhat different from that of other people who had taken refuge in the underworld.
It was injured thousands of years ago and its body was severely damaged. It has no way of withstanding the next great catastrophe, otherwise it would not have been able to lend its power to the so-called Mulan people.
Although the Tianlan Holy Beast and the Mulan Holy Bird are both holy beasts that protect two tribes on the grassland, a closer look reveals that there is a huge difference between them. Although Tianlan claims to protect the Tianlan grassland and provide help to the Tuwu people, it will never be driven like the Mulan Holy Bird.
However, the Mulan Holy Bird is completely different. Through the Yuanming Lamp, the Mulan people can even borrow its power, which is enough to show its anxiety.
"Fellow Daoist, you have helped me a lot this time. I wonder what information you want from me?" Mulan Shengqin also knew that there is no free lunch in the world, and Li Mufeng must have something in mind when he helped it.
"Fellow Daoist is so straightforward. It seems that I, Li, was right about you." Li Mufeng was very satisfied with Mulan Shengqin's straightforwardness. He then handed over a jade slip.
"I have written down everything I want to know. Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist."
Mulan Shengqin took it and was a little surprised, "Daoyou, there are really a lot of things you want to know."
Then it said with some embarrassment.
"But my body is still a little unstable, and I just came down from the upper realm, so I still have some upper realm aura on me. I need to recuperate for a while and completely transform this body."
"I will tell my friends some simple things first. The rest may take some time."
"What do fellow Taoists think?"
"Okay." Li Mufeng nodded.
"Thank you for your understanding." Mulan Shengqin nodded happily, and then it spit out several five-colored spiritual lights towards several jade slips, "Most of the spatial nodes, Dan Linggen matters, some common sense of the upper world, and language that you want to know are recorded in them."
After spitting out these five-colored spiritual lights, the blue peacock's color dimmed a little, and then it spoke.
"You have helped me a lot, but I still want to remind you that I am not from the human or demon race, so there should be some differences between the things here."
"As for the spatial nodes, I just discovered this world by accident. I don't know the detailed location of this world like the human and demon races do, so some of the things in it still need your consideration."
"Yeah." Li Mufeng nodded, and thought to himself, "As expected, I still have to go find that guy Tianlan Holy Beast."
"Husband, the secret method I practice is somewhat special. The speed of practice is much faster when following the holy bird, so I can't accompany you." Le Ya looked at Li Mufeng with some apology.
"We cultivators shouldn't worry about such love affairs. You should just practice well." Li Mufeng also knew that in addition to practicing the Roufeng Jue, Le Ya also practiced another set of skills.
Otherwise, her Yuan Yin would not be able to help cultivators advance, and now she had to give up the Soft Wind Technique and turn it into her main technique, which required the help of the Five Elements Spiritual Energy of Mulan Holy Bird.
Looking at Le Ya, Li Mufeng smiled. To be honest, he quite liked this girl.
Le Ya is the kind of woman who looks very tough, and her tall figure gives people a great sense of oppression. However, since this woman followed him, she has become very gentle and affectionate, which is a huge contrast.
"Thank you for your understanding, my husband." Le Ya said with her red lips slightly opened.
"Practice well." After bidding farewell to Saint Mulan, Li Mufeng went to Tianlan Grassland, ready to meet the Tianlan Holy Beast.
That mouse was no simple fellow, it actually improved the Golden Page Technique of the True Immortal Realm that their demon race could not practice at all, and created a great technique called the Reverse Spirit True Yin Technique, which allowed Han Li's six-winged frost centipede to transform its decay into something magical and become a generation of true spirit!
