?Chapter 927: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 924 Commandery Princess Lv Xiu Chapter 927: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 924 Commandery Princess Lv Xiu Feeling an unbearably scorching heat dissipating slowly within him, Han Li opened his tightly-shut eyes, his gaze filled with deep contemplation.
This “King Ming Art” was incredibly domineering.
Even with his body, which had once formed a Nascent Soul and undergone the Classic of Changes marrow cleansing, he barely withstood the severe pain from repeated body tempering.
This left Han Li feeling depressed and somewhat dubious.
“Senior!
Is there really no problem continuing the cultivation of the King Ming Art?
Already the second layer of the technique is this painful.
I don’t believe every bald Buddhist started practicing this after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, otherwise by the time they completed this technique, they would have likely reached the end of their lifespans.
But for those in the Core Formation stage, enduring such torment seems hardly possible.
It isn’t just physical pain, even the divine sense can clearly perceive this agony,” Han Li suddenly asked Monarch Great Development.
“What’s so strange about that?
Since Buddhism has ways to transform the techniques of demons into this form, they naturally have also developed methods or tools to reduce the pain of training, given that their techniques are especially adept at enduring suffering.
Moreover, if the cultivator himself has enough willpower, practicing the King Ming Art during the Core Formation stage is not impossible.
And this technique is domineering relative to us humans.

It was originally intended for demons and practitioners of ancient devilish techniques, whose bodies are strong and would hardly care about such pain,” Monarch Great Development replied languidly.
“I see, that does make sense.
Sadly, we don’t have time to practice other Buddhist techniques now.
Let’s barely keep cultivating in this way.
I can still bear it to this extent,” Han Li said with a wry smile after frowning slightly.
He then raised an arm, withdrawing his sleeve, suddenly revealing a bare forearm.
Han Li slightly squinted as he looked at his arm, and a blue light flickered in his pupils.
A good while later, taking the time of about one tea session, Han Li finally poked his arm’s skin with a finger before lowering his arm.
“Although it has been quite painful, this King Ming Art indeed has unique aspects in body tempering, much stronger than the other few body training techniques I know of.
Just during this short time of practice, I can feel an astonishing transformation in my body,” Han Li mumbled to himself, speaking as if to himself.
After sitting quietly for a while longer, Han Li stood up and left the secret chamber, slowly heading toward the Earth Fire Grand Hall.
Recently, while refining those materials and combining the Artifact Refining techniques explained to him by the Weiss elder, he had finally grasped a new technique for Artifact Refining.
Therefore, he had taken the nearly completed Crystalized Demon Pill flying needles which only needed final touches, and each day at noon, he had begun re-refining them using the power of earth fire to enhance their power even further.
As Han Li was nearing the grand hall, a bustling sound suddenly came from the direction of the main doors.
Hearing this, Han Li couldn’t help but look in surprise.
He saw a group of about eight or nine people walking over from the entrance, led by the three other disciples from the Artifact Refinement Hall, followed by several young male and female cultivators.
Leading them was a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girl in a teal palace dress, beautiful and elegant, her eyes bright with curiosity.
Considering their ages, these individuals were quite strong, mostly at the eighth or ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm, with the palace-dressed girl even being at the tenth layer, the highest among them.
After scanning them, Han Li immediately realized that these newcomers to the Artifact Refinement Hall were definitely not of simple status.
Nearly everyone had a bulging storage pouch at their waist, and two or three even carried specialized spirit beast pouches, while those from the Artifact Refinement Hall beside them wore ingratiating smiles, overly cautious, as if fearing offending anyone.
Flashing a look, Han Li immediately turned to pretend ignorance and step into the Earth Fire Hall first, wanting to avoid any complications.
But at that moment, the deepest cultivated among the three Artifact Refinement disciples, who also harbored the greatest hostility towards him, a disciple named Gao, saw Han Li’s silhouette and suddenly shouted out:
“Senior Disciple Han Li, come over here.
Commandery Princess Lv Xiu needs to refine a Magic Artifact, and some materials require special refinement.
It just happens that you can help complete it.
This is a task personally ordered by the fourth Sect Master.
It cannot be delayed.”
“Commandery Princess?” Han Li was taken aback upon hearing this, and even more so when he heard it was an order from the fourth Sect Master.
He paused his steps, only to turn back around.
Having spent such a long time here, Han Li also had a fair understanding of the high-level cultivators of the Imperial Pure Temple.
The temple nominally had four Sect Masters, all at the Core Formation Stage.
However, there was also a Heavenly Clarity Courtyard, which was said to house the only Nascent Soul from the Imperial Pure Temple.
Though this fourth Sect Master was the last to advance to the Core Formation Stage, his cultivation technique was said to be extremely special, his Divine Skills the greatest among the four, famous throughout Nan County.
Even Master Lu of White Dew Academy had changed his expression upon hearing his name.
Yet these Sect Masters, all with extraordinary statuses, Han Li hadn’t had the chance to meet any of them till now.
“Since this is an order from the fourth Sect Master, I will naturally assist with all my heart,” Han Li walked over, glanced at the male and female cultivators, and said undisturbedly.
“You can refine materials?
Your cultivation is rather low, isn’t it?
The Commandery Princess intends to refine a very rare ‘Blood Silk Silver’ this time.
If you damage the material, can you bear the responsibility?” These young men and women likewise sized up Han Li.
Seeing that he appeared to be at only the third or fourth level of the Qi Refinement Realm, most of them immediately showed a look of disdain.
One of the men, dressed in a forged blue embroidered gown, even said quite impolitely.
The girl who was seemingly Princess Lv Xiu in court attire merely pursed her lips and smiled, but the flicker in her eyes clearly showed some doubt.
“Blood Silk Silver is indeed a rare material.
I do not have full confidence in being able to refine it successfully.
Why don’t you find someone more capable?” Han Li, his face composed, instead responded with a smile.
Upon hearing Han Li’s words, these people were taken aback and, for a moment, did not know how to respond.
“Hmph!
Isn’t there supposed to be a very skilled Artifact Refiner here?
Why not have him come out and refine the materials for the Commandery Princess?” Another handsome young man finally snapped back to his senses and spoke up discontentedly.
“Master Wei is currently busy refining a precious artifact and has been in closed-door cultivation for several days now.
I fear he won’t be able to come out and help the Commandery Princess with the refinement.” This was said by a disciple of the Artifact Refinement Hall, who seemed eager to explain the situation clearly.
“Help me refine the material; it will only take a moment.
Can none of you fellow disciples help plead with Master Wei to come out briefly?
Besides, even during my time at Prince’s Residence, I’ve long heard of the great Master Wei’s reputation and really wanted to see him in person,” the girl in the green dress spoke in a gentle and soft voice, her demure demeanor greatly shocking the Artifact Refinement Hall disciples.
However, Han Li’s eyebrows twitched subtly.
Although this girl appeared to be exceptionally polite, the sly glint that flashed across her eyes didn’t escape his notice.
Immediately, Han Li scoffed inwardly and remained silent.
Yet, those three men were bedazzled by the girl’s gentle words and lost all sense of propriety.
Under her persuasion, one of them actually agreed to go and inform the elderly man surnamed Wei.
Han Li couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
If he recalled correctly, before the old man surnamed Wei entered seclusion, he had clearly told them not to disturb him and his two assistants working in the underground chamber unless it was a matter of great urgency.
Trying to contact him merely for some material refinement might bring severe bad luck to the person making the report.
As expected, that disciple grit his teeth and entered the Earth Fire Hall, but he only managed a brief moment inside before running out with a face full of dust.
“Commandery Princess, Master Wei really cannot spare the time right now.
Perhaps let Han, the junior disciple, give it a try,” the male disciple said with a forced smile upon returning to the group.
“Imperial Pure Temple’s Artifact Refinement Hall is so renowned, can none of the three of you refine the material for the Commandery Princess?” said another young woman among the group of cultivators, other than Commandery Princess Lv Xiu.
This woman, slightly older, only of average beauty, but a beauty mark near her mouth added a flying charm as she asked with a smiling face.
“To be frank with Miss Mingzhu, if it were to refine common materials, the three of us certainly could have managed it.
But for a rare material like Blood Silk Silver, only Han, the junior disciple here, who was personally taught the material refinement technique by Master Wei, knows how to refine it.
The three of us primarily studied how to refine common Magic Artifacts,” the three looked at each other awkwardly, and the surnamed Gao disciple could only helplessly explain in such a manner.
“This may be a bit troublesome then.
We are here with Madam Yu and cannot afford a long wait.
Missing this chance, we do not know when we might find another Artifact Refiner skilled in refining Blood Silk Silver.
It seems we really must trouble this fellow disciple for help,” the Commandery Princess Lv Xiu said with a sudden smile after turning her bright eyes toward Han Li.
“Alright, as long as the Commandery Princess is willing to take the risk, I will do my utmost,” Han Li said calmly.
“That’s alright, fellow disciple.
Just refine as best you can.
If it really can’t be made, it’s not a big deal.
Perhaps it’s just not Lv Xiu’s fortunate moment.
We can always look for more material later,” the girl in court attire said with a slight smile upon hearing this.
Seeing that the girl had said as much, Han Li nodded.
However, looking at the large group of people in front of him, he frowned slightly and said,
“I cannot refine the material with so many people watching.
Otherwise, the distraction might significantly reduce the chance of success.”
“That’s alright, it will be enough if only I can stay by your side when the time comes.
The others can either wait outside or perhaps the three fellow disciples can show them other parts of the Artifact Refinement Hall,” the girl in court attire said unconcernedly upon hearing this.
Although those who came with her were somewhat reluctant, none of them voiced any objection.
Therefore, Han Li no longer wasted words and immediately led the way to the Earth Fire Hall.
The rest, under the girl’s signaling gaze, had no choice but to stay put.
