A bright blue glow shimmered, clearly revealing a blue orb and a white jade box. The two items floated motionless in midair. Han Li raised his hand and gently drew the blue orb into his hands. The surface of the orb was translucent and smooth, resembling crystal or glass, yet it radiated an exceptionally pure and refined water-based spiritual energy. It appeared to be a pure water-elemental spiritual artifact. Holding it between two fingers, he repeatedly examined it with his spiritual awareness and the blue glow, carefully inspecting it several times. After a while, Han Li grew thoughtful. Eventually, after a long period, a sudden inspiration struck him, and his expression grew strangely puzzled. "Could this indeed be the item mentioned in the legends?" he murmured, his face now showing a touch of wonder and doubt. Immediately, his two fingers flashed with a greenish light, channeling a surge of refined spiritual energy into the orb. A loud boom echoed, and a surge of luminous light rippled across the surface of the sphere. Then, a shimmering blue water spray erupted from the top, instantly transforming into an exceptionally thin, crystalline water veil that completely enveloped Han Li's form. Han Li's expression shifted, and without a word, he opened his mouth, projecting a beam of jade-green light. The beam flashed briefly before striking the veil—only to rebound with a metallic clink, spreading out and reforming into a slender, shimmering jade sword just a few inches long. This sword, which had seemed to strike like it were cutting through hardened steel, had failed to penetrate the veil at all—remarkably so, given the sharpness and agility of the Qingzhú Fēngyún Sword. A flash of red light, and a glowing red orb the size of an egg materialized at his fingertips, then struck the water curtain with a sudden motion. Yet, silently—without a sound—the orb instantly vanished upon contact, leaving no trace of power at all. Han Li raised an eyebrow, then flung his sleeve outward. A clear chime rang out, and a silver-white fire phoenix burst forth from the sleeve. Circling Han Li several times, the phoenix then spread its wings and soared toward the water curtain. A dull crack echoed as the silver flames and blue light briefly intertwined, then each trembled and burst apart. Even the divine spiritual fire of the devouring phoenix seemed momentarily unable to penetrate the water curtain. "Indeed, no mistake—it is truly the Tianli Water Spirit," Han Li murmured, shaking his sleeve once more to retrieve the phoenix. Yet, his gaze, fixed on the orb in his hand, now burned with intense warmth. But in the next moment, that warmth gradually faded. "Too bad." The cultivation technique I've been practicing is not water-based, so this treasure can only be used as an ordinary item. Otherwise, once I fully refine and absorb this pearl, my physical constitution could transform into the legendary 'Líshuǐ Body' as described. Han Li exhaled softly, his expression instantly filled with regret. Should he possess the Líshuǐ Body, any water-based cultivation technique would yield remarkable results, and it was said he could even grasp the celestial laws of the water domain—something that would surely captivate a fully consolidated cultivator. Han Li waved his hand. Instantly, the blue glow on the surface of the orb dimmed, and the water curtain surrounding it was drawn in and absorbed, turning into a shimmering sheet of water. Holding the orb in one hand, he stared thoughtfully, as if pondering something deeply. Suddenly, a flash of brilliance sparked in his eyes, as if he had finally arrived at a realization. With a gesture of his other hand, a faint white figure shot out from his waist, spiraling before materializing into a slender, translucent white serpent about a foot long, hovering before him. It was precisely the spirit puppet that Han Li had named "Baby." Since this puppet only possessed the initial stage of Transcendent Realm abilities, it had not proven particularly effective in the conflicts within the Magician's Mountain range, and thus Han Li had never summoned it before. He valued the puppet's spiritual sensitivity and its potential for advancement, and did not wish to risk damaging it lightly. Now, as Han Li chanted softly, he raised his hand and pointed steadily at the puppet. The white serpent flashed with a crystalline glow and suddenly transformed into a graceful, beautiful woman. As the woman drifted gently down from the sky, her bright eyes fixed intently on Han Li, yet her facial expression remained utterly still. Her body, however, exuded a clear, cold aura, as if composed of pure, frozen jade. Han Li sensed the remarkable coldness emanating from the woman and glanced at the blue orb in his hand, his expression now hesitating. "Ice-type magic evolves from water-type. If this glass-water orb is worn by this ice-type spirit puppet for an extended period, will it offer any definite benefit?" After a while, Han Li softly murmured to himself, finally making up his mind, and then tossed the blue bead in his hand toward the "doll." The glass bead transformed into a cluster of blue light and flew straight toward the woman. Before it even reached her, a thick stream of water qi enveloped the puppet. Strange as it might seem, upon coming into contact with this unusually rich water qi, the doll's previously expressionless face subtly stirred, and its gaze shifted away from Han Li, now fixed intently on the bead as it approached. Suddenly, the doll opened her mouth and expelled a surge of white light, which instantly wrapped the bead and drew it into her mouth. The doll's pale complexion instantly bloomed with a shimmer of blue light, and even her dark brows slightly furrowed. Yet a moment later, her face relaxed, the blue glow faded, and she resumed her composed, indifferent expression. Han Li naturally kept observing the "child-like figure." Seeing this situation, he stroked his chin and did not show the slightest sign of disappointment. After all, even if there were certain benefits, they would certainly not manifest within a short time. Yet he had no intention of immediately retrieving the spirit-bound automaton. Instead, he pointed toward the stone gate and said in a commanding tone, "I will continue my meditation retreat. You are free to move about within the abode, and please take the time to also check on the medicinal garden for me." Though the automaton was not particularly spirited, it clearly understood this simple instruction. Moreover, only by allowing the spirit-bound automaton to move and engage in activities could its spirit be cultivated—this was quite similar to the method used for nurturing spiritual beasts. The child-like figure nodded silently, and in a ghostly flicker, vanished from view beside the stone gate as if the barrier there had no effect at all. Just as Han Li was about to release the seal, he paused, growing even more eager for this spiritually attuned automaton. But then his eyes shifted downward, landing on the jade box floating in the air. Several sealing symbols were affixed to the surface, gently pulsing with a faint glow. Han Li furrowed his brows slightly, yet still raised a hand and cast a spell. The spell flashed briefly before vanishing into the jade box. Instantly, the surface of the box shimmered, and the symbols on it drifted silently downward without a sound. The lid of the box opened on its own. A beam of silvery light burst forth from within, streaking toward the heavens, then swiftly veered off toward the horizon. However, Han Li had anticipated this. With the other hand, a surge of green light rippled through, and he reached out into the void. "Whoosh!" The silver light was instantly enveloped by an invisible, powerful force and drawn down, transforming into a block of pale white jade. Subtle silver characters shimmered continuously on the surface of the jade plaque, which was in fact another outer page of the Golden Terrace Jade Scroll that Han Li had obtained from the magical ape's blood bed. This scroll detailed a technique known as "Xuan Tian Craftsmanship," with its methods largely beyond comprehension—seemingly far surpassing what Han Li could currently grasp at his present level. However, on that day, due to time constraints, he had only briefly scanned it without truly studying it in depth. Now, naturally, he needed to pull it out once again and examine it carefully, hoping to gain fresh insights and revelations. After pressing the jade plaque against his forehead, Han Li allowed his divine awareness to penetrate it, then slowly closed his eyes and remained motionless. Time passed steadily, and surprisingly, the depth of his meditation proved unusually prolonged. Only after half a day had elapsed did the seated figure subtly shift and open his eyes, still retaining a trace of astonishment. "The 'Yuanhe Wuji Mountain' technique—how remarkable it is that five top-tier, transcendental spiritual treasures can be fused into a single entity! It's truly astonishing. If this method proves viable, then with sufficient financial resources and time, one might genuinely be able to forge a person's postnatal Xiantian treasure within the spiritual realm. Yet, such an achievement would likely require the entire combined effort of an ordinary race, and even then, it might still fall short. Nevertheless, even the individual component 'Lihé Jiji Mountain' alone possesses the power to overturn mountains and seas. While fusing all five components may be unlikely, if just two could be successfully crafted and then combined, their combined power would be unimaginable." Han Li murmured thoughtfully. He had noticed that in the final section of the Xiantian Craftsmanship technique inscribed on this jade scroll, several specific methods for crafting postnatal Xiantian treasures were detailed. The materials required for these other methods, however, either included refined stars and celestial bodies—entities that could not naturally appear in the spiritual realm—or items that Han Li had never heard of before. Only the materials and crafting techniques required for the "Yuanhe Wuji Mountain" seem still achievable within the spiritual realm. As for the crafting technique itself, it's only feasible for entities at the Consolidated Body stage or beyond. And the raw materials—truly genuine mountain peaks—are essential. Of course, these aren't ordinary large mountains; they must be peaks possessing rare properties and special abilities. The Yuanmagnetic Divine Mountain is indeed one of them. However, the small Yuanmagnetic mountain peak he currently holds still falls short of the standards described in the jade tablet. It will require the addition of numerous rare materials, along with prolonged, specially crafted co-fermentation processes, to achieve a significant enhancement in its power. Nevertheless, he already possesses the primary material of one such mountain peak—this is one of the reasons that has stirred profound excitement within him. As for the remaining four mountain types, the Northern Yuan Mountain, rich in abundant Northern Yuan Light, is also among them. With the jade tablet now held firmly in one hand, he finds himself once again deeply immersed in contemplation. By rights, Han Li already possessed one of the Heavenly Treasure relics and one of the remnant Heavenly Treasures, so he should not have much interest in the later-stage Heavenly Treasure relics. Yet surprisingly, among the final designated functions and benefits of the "Yuanhe Wuji Mountain," there lies an extraordinary ability—when summoned, it weakens the power of the lightning calamity by half.
