Wang Yu

Chapter 828 First Exploration of the Market

Regrettably, what Han Li found in those ancient books regarding the prolonged coma caused by divine soul injuries or the unconsciousness resulting from Yuan Ying sealing was not quite the same as what Ti Hun was currently experiencing.

Ti Hun's divine soul was not injured. Even if it had been, it should have been completely healed by the Ziyang Warm Jade. As for Yuan Ying sealing, that was even more absurd.

After searching to the end, Han Li could only sigh and prepare to make other plans.

As for Shi Pokong's suggestion to seek help from the Great Priest under the Great Prince, Han Li did not have high expectations. After all, the two sides were mortal enemies competing for the future, with significant conflicts of interest. From the current perspective, this Great Prince was clearly not a simple character, so how could he be willing to lend a hand to the other side?

In the following time, Han Li continued to peruse the books. After reading a large amount of content about the description of the spiritual domain, he seemed to have suddenly opened a door to a new world, and only then did he realize that his previous understanding of the spiritual domain was too superficial.

He had come into contact with the spiritual domain quite early. Baohua had once used the Xuan Tian Pseudo-Spiritual Domain, and later Xiao Jinhan and others had also used real spiritual domains, including those in the Creation Realm.

Later, he condensed his own spiritual domain with the help of the Gray Immortal Mo Yu, but speaking of which, the latter did not reveal too many inside stories to him.

Now, he finally had a systematic understanding of the situation of the spiritual domain.

It turned out that although the spiritual domain was divided into the Creation Realm and the Spirit Transformation Realm, there was no distinction between the two in terms of cultivation order. It was not necessarily the case that one had to reach the Creation Realm before wanting to raise a domain spirit in the spiritual domain.

It was just that, under normal circumstances in the Immortal World, most cultivators chose to cultivate the spiritual domain to the Creation Realm first, and then carry out the cultivation of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

This was not difficult to understand, just like building a house in the mortal world. Only when the house was built firmly, and all the furniture and items were added, would people be invited to move in, which was the most secure.

If one directly cultivated the Spirit Transformation Realm spiritual domain, it was not impossible, but it was equivalent to letting one's domain spirit grow in a barren wilderness, which was detrimental to the domain spirit's own loss and future growth.

Moreover, the effect of using such a spiritual domain was also limited, and it was mostly just a form without spirit.

Whether it was condensing the Creation Realm or cultivating the Spirit Transformation Realm, it required an extremely long time, not only consuming a lot of resources, but also consuming a lot of energy from the cultivator.

Han Li had spent a lot of time and energy just condensing an ordinary spiritual domain.

Taking the Creation Realm as an example, its condensation required calculations in units of ten thousand years, refining and integrating objects of various attribute laws that were compatible with one's own avenue into the spiritual domain, creating various concrete objects, such as houses, landscapes, and so on.

This process was not to say that as long as one was willing to spend time, it would be foolproof. Like alchemy and artifact refining, there was also a certain probability of failure. Once it failed, what was lost were all law objects.

Even if it was successful, after these law objects were integrated, they would gradually form a scale after years of accumulation. Just like Zhao Gu Zhenren's eight White Bone Jingguan earlier, it took millions of years to construct eight of them.

As for making the law objects produce spiritual consciousness and transforming them into domain spirits and integrating them into it, it was even more difficult.

Most cultivators were unwilling to spend a lot of time on this matter in order not to delay their own cultivation progress.

Therefore, among the many cultivators Han Li had encountered before, whether they were Daluo Realm cultivators, Taiyi Jade Immortals, or Golden Immortals and True Immortals, most of the spiritual domains they released were just ordinary spiritual domains, and very few Creation Realm and Spirit Transformation Realm spiritual domains were seen.

After closing all the ancient books, Han Li was filled with emotion. If he encountered these two types of spiritual domains again in the future, even if the other party's cultivation was not high, he must not take it lightly.

However, he did not have that much time for the time being, and he did not plan to spend time on this in the short term.

After a slight adjustment, Han Li sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate.

Before, he had been fleeing all the way, and time was too hasty. The *Da Wu Xing Huan Shi Jue*, which he had obtained by integrating five time cultivation techniques, had not actually been properly comprehended.

With the foundation of cultivating the *Zhen Yan Hua Lun Jing* and the *Shui Yan Si Shi Jue*, as well as the *Huan Chen Bao Dian* before, coupled with a certain understanding of the laws of time, cultivating this *Da Wu Xing Huan Shi Jue* should not be too much of a problem.

……

Time flies, more than three years have passed.

Shi Chuan Kong was still not out of seclusion, but Han Li had already left seclusion.

After three years of careful comprehension, his cultivation of the *Da Wu Xing Huan Shi Jue* had not improved much, but he had discovered many deviations in his understanding of the technique when he had previously organized the techniques.

In terms of cultivation level, he was now comparable to the state when the *Da Wu Xing Huan Shi Jue* was cultivated to the third level. He thought that cultivation should be extremely smooth, but after he really devoted himself to cultivation, he found that it was not that simple.

The *Da Wu Xing Huan Shi Jue* was not a simple superposition of the previous five techniques. After the integration, the operation system was completely different from before, becoming more profound and subtle. Cultivation also required attention to the mutual generation of the five elements in order to be smooth.

Therefore, from the perspective of the progress of the technique cultivation, Han Li was still in the initial stage, and he was still stuck on the first level of the technique. The reason why he was anxious to leave seclusion was not because there was something wrong with the seclusion here, but because he was really worried about Ti Hun.

After coming out of seclusion to check, Han Li found that Ti Hun's condition was still the same as before. He was still in a coma and never woke up, but there had been no movement from Shi Pokong's side.

It could even be said that since Shi Chuan Kong went into seclusion, he had never taken the initiative to look for him, but the vague surveillance of himself had not stopped.

Han Li knew that waiting like this was not the way. He thought about trying his luck in Ye Yang City to see if he could find out other ways to save Ti Hun.

On this day, Han Li walked out of Changting Garden, intending to leave the Third Prince's residence and go outside the Imperial City.

Along the way, he encountered many Demon Clan cultivators in the palace. Most of them had been instructed by Shi Chuan Kong, and when they encountered him, they bowed to Han Li one after another.

When he was about to leave the other courtyard, he suddenly heard someone calling from behind, "Senior Li, please wait a moment..."

When he turned his head to look, he saw a petite, pretty black-clothed girl trotting towards him.

The girl looked no more than in her teens, with curved eyebrows and a pleasing appearance. Judging from the aura emanating from her body, she was a Combination Early Stage cultivator.

"Girl, I don't know what I can do for you." Han Li stopped and asked after she caught up.

"I wouldn't dare, senior. Please don't kill this servant. Earlier, the Third Prince specifically instructed that he was afraid that you would be unfamiliar with the place, and asked this servant to be your guide when you go out." The girl stepped forward and bowed, and said quickly.

Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.

It seemed that this Third Prince was quite concerned about his human identity, and his suspicion of him had not been dispelled by Shi Chuan Kong's few words.

The surveillance person who was good at concealing his aura had suddenly withdrawn about a few days ago. He thought that Shi Pokong was somewhat relieved about himself, but now it seems that it was not necessarily the case.

Therefore, this time he wanted to go out, Shi Pokong did not send anyone to follow him in secret, but instead let a Combination Stage cultivator follow him openly, which was also a small conspiracy.

"Then I will trouble you, girl." Han Li said with a smile.

"Senior, please wait a moment, let's take the Scale Carriage." The girl said with a happy face.

With that said, she took off something that looked like a spirit beast bag from her waist, opened the mouth of the bag and scooped it up, and a green light lit up.

Two strange beasts that looked like steeds but had horns on their heads and were covered with green scales appeared. Behind them was a black two-wheeled carriage inlaid with gold silk. There was no sedan, only a soft chair that could seat three people side by side.

After Han Li got into the carriage and sat down, the girl got into the car and sat down. After sitting down, she asked, "Where does senior want to go?"

"Any street in Ye Yang City where merchants are concentrated and trade is prosperous." Han Li said casually.

"Okay, then this servant will take you to Dijiang Square first. It is one of the eight largest workshops in the Maha area, and it is also the closest workshop to us. Senior, go there for a stroll today first." The girl responded and said.

"Girl, there is no need to call yourself a servant. We are both cultivators. Just call yourself Junior. I just don't know what your name is?" Han Li smiled and said.

"This junior is Hu Jingjing. Senior can just call me Jingjing or Jinger." The girl was a little surprised at first, but after a slight delay, she reacted and answered immediately.

"Alright, let's go." Han Li nodded and said.

The girl heard the words, grabbed the reins with both hands, and shook them lightly. The two scale-armored strange beasts began to run on all fours.

The carriage sped along the wide avenue paved with smooth black stones, heading straight for Dijiang Square.

……

The Luojia area covers a very large area. In addition to the imperial city area, there are also large areas of palace gardens.

The area where Dijiang Square is located is considered the junction area between the Maha area and the Luojia area, with a branch of the Holy River Bai Lan River, the Diyuan River, in the middle.

Jiangzuo is the Maha area, and Jiangyou is the Luojia area. A huge white arch bridge, called Tongji Bridge, spans between the two areas.

After crossing the Tongji Bridge, you will be in the territory of Dijiang Square.

The name of Dijiang Square comes from the Diyuan River, which is more than dozens of miles long and faces the gardens of the Luojia area across the river. It is distributed along the left side of the river bank.

"Senior, after crossing Tongji Bridge and entering Dijiang Square, you can't continue driving. We can only get off the car and walk. This is the rule set by our Great Prince, which applies to all workshops in the city." The Demon Clan girl Hu Jingjing said apologetically when the carriage was on the bridgehead.

"It's okay." Han Li nodded and said.

"I don't know what senior wants to buy? It can be said that everything is included in this Dijiang Square. If you don't have a clue and just walk around and take a look, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish shopping in ten days and a half months." Hu Jingjing said again.

"That's really a coincidence. I'm just planning to take a stroll. Miss Jingjing, please give me a rough introduction to the situation of this Dijiang Square." Han Li asked with a smile without showing any emotion.

"Okay, senior. Although this Dijiang Square is large, it is not the most concentrated place for merchants in Ye Yang City. There are two other places, Tongyi Garden and Jiantian Street, which are stronger than it in terms of scale and popularity. However, one of these two focuses on the trade of magic weapons and the other focuses on the business of elixirs and spiritual materials. In terms of the richness of goods, Dijiang Square is better." Hu Jingjing introduced familiarly.
