Mortal: Li Feiyu, who came from the realm of a supreme being

"The divided soul of the Extreme Yin Old Monster..." Li Feiyu finally stopped after escaping thousands of miles.

If it were a past life, having this wisp of soul in hand would make even the most yin-type immortals suffer greatly.

It wasn't because Li Feiyu was skilled in sorcery in his previous life, but because there were people in his team who specialized in this kind of witchcraft. Li Feiyu's talent points were in martial arts, and he had less research on sorcery, which resulted in him not having a good way to prepare the Extreme Yin Soul Split.

This is the location of the teleportation point, but Han Li's presence is no longer there. Clearly, he felt unsafe after teleporting here and continued on his way.

Li Feiyu had anticipated Han Li's decision to run away. In any case, in his mind, his brother-in-law was not a close comrade-in-arms, but a wealthy farmer.

Speaking of which, he has already used up most of the ten million spirit stones he brought from the Heavenly Origin Pagoda, and can be considered to have withdrawn from the ranks of those who are free to use spirit stones.

In the years to come, we will still have to rely on the landlord.

Li Feiyu had already decided that if she found a high-level spirit beast that she liked in the future, she would have Han Yunshu entrust it to Han Li to raise. This would not only prevent the beast from being wasted, but also save a lot of resources for raising spirit beasts.

He took out the Thousand-Mile Talisman to contact Han Li, and the two agreed to meet on Sangxing Island.

Two days later, in a private room at Donghualou Restaurant.

Under the layers of protective array, Li Feiyu's face finally twitched and returned to its original appearance.

"By the way, your face-changing skill is also a martial art for those in the Opening Aperture stage, right? I already have nine orifices, so I should be able to learn this kind of extraordinary skill, right? Teach me, please." Han Li suddenly said.

Li Feiyu's face-changing technique truly alters the structure of her face, making it undetectable by divine sense. It seems that magical disguises are more effective.

This is indeed a martial art that can be practiced during the Enlightenment stage, but it is not as easy for ordinary people to use as he does. They still need to manually feel and reshape their bones, just like when he first became Doctor Mo.

"Sure, what else do you want?" Li Feiyu was in a good mood at the moment, so she decided to be generous.

Han Li pondered for a moment, then asked, "What other extraordinary martial arts techniques are there that can be practiced during the Qi Opening stage?"

"There are quite a few usable and fun ones... like 'Shadow-Stealing Divine Skill,' 'Soul-Shifting Technique,' 'Dream-Weaving Technique,' and I highly recommend 'Shennong Glazed Skill,' which is also quite good," Li Feiyu said seriously.

Han Li looked at him with suspicion and said cautiously, "These don't sound like martial arts techniques for the Qi Opening stage to me."

"Of course, these are all martial arts techniques that originate from the Outer Realm. If you work hard to advance to the Outer Realm, there are many more wondrous divine skills you can learn, which are definitely no weaker than those supernatural powers and spells. The ones I just mentioned can also be learned and used during the Enlightenment stage with just a small price to pay."

"What small price to pay?" Han Li genuinely acknowledged Li Feiyu as his close friend.

But for some reason, he always felt that Li Feiyu hadn't quite gotten his way with the martial arts techniques. He had been studying the "Burning Soul Technique" for decades, and he increasingly felt that this martial art was strange. Not only did it involve refining the soul into iron, but there was also something subtly off about the cultivation process.

However, his knowledge of martial arts was insufficient, and his level of understanding was low, so he couldn't see the specific problems.

"It's just a minor hidden danger, nothing serious."

"Fine, just give me the loopholes in Qu Hun's technique and his face-changing martial arts. My martial arts cultivation is shallow, and I dare not practice your martial arts recklessly." Han Li finally shook his head and said.

Actually, he was somewhat envious of Li Feiyu's combat strength, so he had always been interested in martial arts.

However, the "Longevity Manual" and "Burning Flame Technique" alone had already consumed a great deal of his time. He also needed to cultivate the "True Yang Manual," "Azure Origin Sword Manual," "Three Revolutions of Replenishing Origin Technique," and "Great Evolution Manual." In addition, there were miscellaneous arts such as talismans, alchemy, formations, and puppetry that he needed to learn, leaving him with simply not enough time and energy.

Han Li has not given up on martial arts, but has temporarily put it aside because the progress is slower than that of cultivating immortality. If he had enough time, he would be willing to spend time trying to break through to the outer realm.

Li Feiyu didn't waste any time. After engraving what he needed into a blank jade slip, he gave it to him directly.

"Repairing a coffin? What kind of strange thing is that?" Han Li looked puzzled.

"...Speaking of which, this can be considered a kind of unorthodox cultivation. Upon mastery, one can cultivate an invisible 'soul coffin.' It can be actively released to lock the enemy's soul, forcibly imprisoning their spirit and turning it for one's own use. It is especially effective against cultivators with powerful spirits, making it an extremely domineering technique for plundering souls." Li Feiyu said, then suddenly changed the subject, "But this secret technique has certain bloodline restrictions. Over the years, I have modified it, removing some racial restrictions, but I have also lost the domineering ability to actively bind souls. It can only be imprisoned when the soul actively enters the body."

"There are such strange and bizarre techniques?" Han Li was shocked and quickly began to examine the cultivation method carefully.

The more he looked, the more shocked he became. This... this secret technique didn't require comparing the strength of one's soul with another?

Judging from his reaction, Li Feiyu knew he was very satisfied with this secret technique. In fact, this technique originated from a bizarre mission world he had experienced in his previous life.

There, two races were locked in conflict. The Barbarian Gods possessed powerful physiques but weak souls, making it difficult for them to comprehend the Dao; the Spirit Gods had powerful divine souls but fragile physical bodies, making it difficult for them to inherit the Dao. Both sides viewed the other as "material" to complete themselves. The Soul Coffin Technique was a bizarre secret method created by the Barbarian Gods to capture and imprison the souls of the Spirit Gods for their own use.

Moreover, that world system is somewhat similar to the mortal world, with similar underlying code, much like C# and Java. When he first transmigrated, he couldn't replicate this secret technique, but now, with over forty years of accumulation and having completed the Dao of Life and Death, rewriting many similar secret techniques from the past is no longer difficult.

However, converting martial arts techniques is still not possible, and it can even be said to be impossible. This is because the underlying methods and principles are vastly different, much more so than the difference between C++ and Python. They may seem to achieve similar effects, but the underlying logic is completely different.

Although the Soul Coffin Technique has lost its domineering ability to actively bind souls, it is still excellent for preventing possession. It requires at least the Core Formation stage to cultivate, and Li Feiyu will cultivate this technique before going into seclusion to absorb the Yin-Yang Dao.

In terms of preventing possession, Li Feiyu can be considered quite an authority.

"Feiyu, thank you very much! I will definitely practice this secret technique once I reach the Core Formation stage."

"When has your brother Fei ever betrayed you? He never hesitates to resolve any potential problems for you. Shouldn't you be more forthcoming?" Li Feiyu said earnestly, hooking his arm around Han Li's shoulder.

Han Li asked warily, "What are you trying to say?"

"Sigh, more than two hundred puppets, how do you control them? It's hard to guess..." Li Feiyu said meaningfully.

Han Li is too wary. He had been hinting that he could help modify the cultivation technique, but he never mentioned the "Great Evolution Technique".

Li Feiyu couldn't possibly have known about the Great Evolution Technique out of thin air, so he had to put it aside. If there was any cultivation technique in the mortal world that could interest him, it would only be the Great Evolution Technique. This time, during the ambush on Wu Chou, Han Li used more than two hundred puppets, finally allowing Wu Chou to find a weakness.

Upon hearing this, Han Li could only smile wryly: "I thought you looked down on these immortal cultivation techniques."

Li Feiyu unceremoniously stretched out his hand: "Stop talking nonsense and take it out."

Han Li was somewhat reluctant, but he still carved a copy of the "Great Evolution Technique" for Li Feiyu. The reason he didn't share the "Great Evolution Technique" was actually because he had a very hidden ulterior motive, which was... he wanted to surpass Li Feiyu in terms of spiritual sense.

After all, in terms of martial arts, he has not yet reached the outer realm; in terms of cultivation, his pseudo-spiritual root is inferior to the spiritual aperture; and in terms of trump cards, he feels he is inferior to Li Feiyu.

After several encounters, he discovered that his spiritual sense seemed to be stronger, so he decided to keep the "Great Evolution Technique" a secret.

However, now that Li Feiyu has discovered him, he naturally cannot continue to hide. After all, he can hardly repay the kindness and righteousness Li Feiyu has shown him in the path of cultivation.

You can have little schemes, but they're just little schemes.

"By the way, have I retrieved the rest of my puppets?" Han Li suddenly asked.

"Puppet? What puppet?" Li Feiyu said calmly, "I held off the possessed Yin ghost for a while, then took the opportunity to steal the golden core and ran away. I didn't dare to stay."

"This... is a huge loss!" Han Li said with a pained expression. "With the puppet gone, it seems our plan to hunt monsters in the outer sea will have to be postponed."

Li Feiyu nodded understandingly: "By the way, I didn't get Wu Chou's storage bag, and now I'm out of cultivation resources. Could you give me some more Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment pills?"

……

Han Li's involvement in the hunt for Wu Chou was mainly to remove some of the elites of Ji Yin Island, and it also had a certain element of venting his anger.

More importantly, it's for their own safety.

After this incident, it's estimated that the Extreme Yin Ancestor will never dare to play the possession trick again in his lifetime. The Core Formation expert who could stand alone on Extreme Yin Island has been lost, and his ability to do things will be greatly reduced in the short term.

Surely we can't expect Nascent Soul stage monsters to stop cultivating and seeking opportunities and instead spend all their time personally hunting them down?

In addition to the Soul Coffin Cultivation Method and Disguise Martial Arts he obtained, which will greatly benefit Han Li's future actions, overall this trip was not a loss—it would have been even better if Li Feiyu hadn't taken away so many pills in the end.

Li Feiyu was not very satisfied with this harvest, because he didn't have many pills for cultivation.

It seems that Han Li has spent all his time and energy making puppets in the past few years, and has even started to reduce the production of pills, which is really not right.

The original plan to hunt monsters in the outer sea was also canceled because Li Feiyu did not return the more than one hundred puppets.

They agreed to go again in two years. During this time, Han Li would continue to replenish the puppets, and Li Feiyu would also need to rest.

He was still somewhat hesitant about whether to devour the Yin and Yang paths during this period.

Although he could roughly determine that even if he absorbed the Yin and Yang Paths, he could still release his magic power through his inner world and reach the level of the Core Formation stage.

However, he always felt that the journey to the Star Palace would not be too smooth. The thing that Heavenly Spirit Root fears most is being possessed. In any case, preparing a Soul Coffin in advance is a way to respect the high cultivator.

Well, there are some things that need to be arranged as soon as possible.

Before going into seclusion, he met with Xuan Le on a desolate island.

As a casual pawn, Xuan Le's usefulness has exceeded expectations, but once he enters the Star Palace, the Li family will also become an unstable factor.

However, this matter is not easy to handle.
