Chapter 1470 – Spirit Servant
However, just as Han Li was sizing up these odd existences, a blood-robed man suddenly rushed at Han Li, “Why, is Fellow Daoist Han interested in these Spirit Servants of the old man?”
”Spirit Servants? It’s really the first time I’ve heard of them since I’m a humble person.” Han Li was stunned and honestly replied.
”Hehehe, it’s not unusual for you to not have heard of them. These spirit attendants were originally a type of half-puppet uniquely refined by the old man.” A hint of smugness leaked out of that blood-robed man’s words.
”A half-puppet? Later generations will have to see it in the future.” Han Li’s surprise flickered as he respectfully replied.
”Fellow Daoist Han is quite interested in these spirit attendants, so it seems that you also understand puppetry. The old man would be able to point you in the right direction, but for now, it’s better to go to the Yin Flame Hall first!” The other blood-robed man’s eyes flashed with a strange light, but he said so.
Han Li would not say any opposing words and nodded his head in agreement.
Thus, a group of people, thus walked into the palace, and the door of the palace Xu Xu closed by itself.
And that head stopped in front of the temple ~ turtle beast, also leisurely and comfortable again dived into the lava body.
After a tea, Han Li and two blood-robed people appeared in a hall with an area of more than a hundred feet.
Here, regardless of the tables and chairs or everything else, are with a black and red strange jade refining and become, under the touch there is a sense of heat, but this heat a drill into the body, and turned into a cool feeling.
A hot and a cool under, quite marvelous.
Han Li felt the peculiarities of the jade chair underneath him and secretly wondered in his heart.
At this time, he had already sat on one side of the hall, and at the center, naturally, were two blood-robed men sitting side by side.
The black and red table in front of the three people was filled with some exotic fruits and wine, and each had a pink mist-covered silhouette standing behind them.
Whenever the wine was consumed, the silhouette respectfully stepped forward and deftly filled the wine cup immediately.
These red mist in the silhouette and the previous ones in the gray mist silhouette and different, not only each one are slim, and the mist exudes a fragrance, let a person smell a great sense of comfort.
So close, Han Li naturally up and down several times these spirit waiter, face from time to time flashed thoughtfully expression.
”Can Fellow Daoist Han see where the wonders of the Spirit Servants lie?” After a blood-robed man drank a cup of spirit wine in one go, he suddenly asked with a smile on his face.
”Latecomer is stupid, only see that these spirit servants seem to be spirits but not spirits, seem to be things but not things, the specific subtleties are still unable to be seen.” Han Li laughed a bit and returned.
”A good one is like a spirit but not a spirit, like a thing but not a thing! These Spirit Servants can indeed be said to be a kind of half-spirit thing. All of their actions appear to be no different from those of normal people, but they themselves have essence souls and Yuan Shen, and their current actions are nothing more than their subconscious natural reactions, which are controlled by me using the puppet secret technique. As for their original bodies, they are two kinds of spirit bodies that I found from the Blood Flame Mountain that were unable to open their spiritual minds, and then they were beaten into the body of the puppet.” The other blood-robed man said with a smile, finally explaining the general origin of these spirit attendants.
”Refining a spirit body into a puppet’s body!” Han Li was somewhat moved by these words, and almost immediately thought of his own experience of his second YuanYing once hiding in a puppet’s body with the help of a puppet’s body.
”Not bad, this kind of spirit body has yet to form a Yuan Shen and Essence Soul, so it is extremely docile and has a certain spirituality, and some simple commands can be executed without error. Coupled with the fact that it can also integrate with the puppet body itself, it is really an excellent material for refining spirit servants. It is also for this reason that old me has taken up permanent residence in this Blood Flame Mountain.” The blood-robed man said.
”It’s also because senior is proficient in the Puppet Way, otherwise others wouldn’t be able to think of applying them to the Puppet Technique even if they found them.”
Don’t look at the earth-blooded old monster’s simple words, but the complexity and difficulty of dissolving a spiritual object into a puppet was something that he, who was well versed in the puppet art, naturally knew all too well.
Therefore, these two words, Han Li really said quite sincerely.
”If little friend likes it, the old man will be able to teach little friend’s this ‘Spirit Melting into Objects’ secret art.” The two blood-robed men seemed to have seen something, and after looking at each other, one of them faintly said.
”I have yet to serve senior, how could I dare to easily accept senior’s generous gift.” Han Li was a bit surprised and showed a hesitant look on his face.
”Haha, but it’s just a regional sculpture, little friend Han doesn’t need to be too polite. In the next month, the old man has a lot of borrowing to do, and still needs the full help of his young friend!” A blood-robed man said with a smile, his words even more polite.
Han Li’s mind turned sharply, and he could only get up and agree to say thank you.
”Elder Earthblood, the latecomer has already arrived at this place. How do I need to assist in refining the puppets, can you tell my juniors a thing or two.” Han Li asked in a slightly contemplative manner after he sat down again.
”This matter is not urgent. Little friend first arrived at the Blood Flame Palace, first drink to your heart’s content, rest well for the night today, and it won’t be too late to talk about it tomorrow.” The blood-robed man waved his hand, actually unwilling to talk about this matter now.
Han Li let out a bitter smile, and could only drink another cup of spirit wine as he was told!
Suddenly “snap” a few light sounds came, blood-robed people in a single hand light clap a few times.
In Han Li’s complexion under a movement, footsteps outside the temple door sounded, suddenly the fragrance of the nose, walked into the twelve young and beautiful women, each wearing five-colored dresses, figure of a wonderful man.
”This is ……”
Han Li’s gaze swept over the faint pink mist emanating from these women’s bodies, and a flash of realization flashed across his face.
These women were actually the same general existence as the Spirit Servants wrapped in pink mist standing behind them.
Only that the pink mist on these women’s bodies became strangely faint, revealing their true faces.
Their bodies did not know what kind of material was refined, no matter from the color of their skin or their mannerisms, they were generally the same as ordinary Flying Spirit Race women, and even had a pair of light green feathered wings on their backs.
Eyes in the aura flashed a few times, Han Li did not see from these women what illusion to cover up, is indeed their real appearance.
Han Li was somewhat appalled by such a cool puppet that resembled a real person.
Previously, he was in the human realm of the YuanYing late stage puppet can hide from the ears of others, on the one hand, because the puppet epidermis using cool like human skin of rare materials ‘scolding spirit soft jade’. Plus, at that time, the late stage YuanYing puppet was originally not something that ordinary people could see through with their divine thoughts. Therefore, it was only when facing the enemy, let the opponent repeatedly be confused mind, thus unable to distinguish the difference with the real person.
And the bodies of these spirit attendants obviously could not be ”Rebuke Spirit Soft Jade”, and even after he barely released his divine thoughts and swept them towards these women, they were bizarrely blocked outside of their bodies.
Han Li looked at these women and couldn’t help but ponder for a moment.
If these Spirit Servants were to find a hint of difference from the norm, it would be that there was a slight sluggishness in the flickering of these women’s gazes, as if there was a hint less spirituality than the norm.
In Han Li secretly wondered at the same time, on both sides of the hall also slowly out of a group of young men surrounded by gray fog.
A clear-eyed, hands each holding some style odd musical instruments, sitting on the ground.
A few moments later, a burst of melodious music sounded in the hall, let a person listen to the heart relaxed and happy, and those beautiful women figure swaying, actually with the sound of music in the hall in the graceful jumping up.
Just see these women waist as willow, a time, five-color clothes fluttering spinning, bursts of strange fragrance all over the place.
Han Li sat on the seat does not move, seems to be these women full of exotic flavor of the enchanting dance attraction, eyes slightly narrowed gazing up.
Two blood-robed men sat at the top, glancing obliquely at Han Li for a few moments.
Han Li seemed to be indulged in the appearance, the two eyes flickered and looked at each other.
After a full meal’s work, the sound of music was withdrawn, and the twelve women’s dancing stopped, then they all tied their hands and stood still.
”Little friend Han, what do you think of these spirit attendant dancers of old me. Although they aren’t escort-type Spirit Servants, each one of them is proficient in a hundred kinds of rare banquet dances, and when I refined them in a moment of joy back then, I really spent some effort on them.” A blood-robed man suddenly asked with a smile.
”It is indeed skillfully crafted, and one cannot see any difference between it and a real person.” Han Li lightly exhaled and sighed in admiration.
”Hehe, since little friend likes this item. I will gift these twelve Spirit Servant Dancers along with the twenty-four Spirit Servant Musicians next to them to Little Friend.” The blood-robed man said with a faint smile.
Immediately, the other blood-robed man raised one hand in Han Li’s astonished gaze and flicked his fingers a few times at the dancers and the musicians on both sides.
”After a few sounds, several blood filaments shot out from the palms of the two blood-robed men, piercing through all of the spirit guards at once.
When the blood filaments were withdrawn, all the Spirit Servants fell to the ground, as if they were dead, and did not move a bit.
At this time, the blood-robed man’s other hand lightly grabbed the ground.
At that moment, in a haze of light, these spirit attendants instantly shrunk in size, transforming into inch-sized puppets, and then flew into the air and flew toward Han Li, landing on the table in front of him, lining up in a row.
”These spirit guards have already been recovered by me, so you only need to use the secret technique I gave you to slightly refine it, so you can drive it freely.” The blood-robed man said with a low smile.
”Senior, no merit, no reward, such a heavy gift, how would my junior dare to accept it!” Han Li looked down at the Spirit Servant Puppet in front of him, his expression became a bit odd for a moment, and he said as he repeatedly excused himself.
”Hehehe, it’s just some playthings. What, does little friend think that the old man’s gift is too light and doesn’t care to accept it?” A blood-robed man’s face sank and his voice chilled.
Han Li’s face changed slightly upon hearing these words, then he bitterly smiled as he cupped his fists and said, “Since senior is so generous, junior will accept it.”
With a flick of his sleeve robe towards the table, all of the Spirit Servant puppets disappeared without a trace under a flash of green light.
”Haha, that’s right. This is my secret art of refining spirit servants, the method of melting spirits into objects and the method of sacrificing spirit servants are both in it, little friend can take it back at night and study it properly. The following will also be of great use in assisting the old man in refining puppets.” The blood-robed man nodded in satisfaction, and with a raise of the other man’s hand, a black bamboo tube shot out.
”Many thanks, senior!”
Since the other person insisted on giving it, Han Li was no longer polite, and with a cry of thanks, he grabbed it with one hand, and the object fell slowly into his hand.
