Han Li passed through the surrounding layers of white jade bookshelves and walked to the front to see that this crystal exquisite pagoda was not engraved with runes, nor was it any immortal treasure, but just a uniquely shaped storage shelf.

Inside the crystal exquisite pagoda, each layer was divided into eight compartments, each containing many jade slips and silk scrolls.

The space on the bottom layer was the largest, and the number of books placed there was also the largest. Most of them were in the form of books and scrolls, densely stacked, with about a hundred or so volumes in each compartment.

The higher up, the smaller each layer of the exquisite pagoda became, and the fewer books it could hold. At the top layer, there were only eight books left, all in the form of jade slips.

Having heard what Xie Daoren had said before, Han Li had no scruples. He casually took down a jade slip, glanced at it briefly, and then raised his hand to his brow, carefully investigating.

After a moment, he put down the jade slip in his hand, his expression slightly changed.

The jade slip he had just put down recorded a puppet refining technique called *Bai Lian Cheng Kui* (Hundred Refinements into Puppets). Han Li had only glanced at it briefly, but he already felt incredibly surprised.

Just considering the puppet materials, it discussed "Heavenly Timing", "Geographical Advantage", and "Human Harmony" simultaneously. It not only fully demonstrated the impact of different puppet material origins on the quality of the refined puppets, but also detailed the importance of refining puppets with different attributes under different heavenly timing environments.

However, Han Li's mind was not on this at the moment. He wanted to see some profound cultivation classics, hoping to find cultivation methods or divine abilities to restrain or resolve the backlash of the true spirit bloodline in his body.

So, after putting *Bai Lian Cheng Kui* back, he continued to pick up other jade slips and placed them on his brow to examine them.

……

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

Han Li sat cross-legged, leaning against a corner of the main hall, holding a scroll called *Xing Yuan Lian Xue Shu* (Star Essence Blood Refining Art) in his hands, carefully examining it.

The content recorded in this cultivation method was truly unique. It differed from ordinary profound cultivation body refining techniques that tempered the physical body, even the meridians and bones. It boldly proposed using the power of stars to refine blood.

By cultivating this method, a profound cultivator's blood could also be tempered, thereby allowing the blood to contain a large amount of stellar power. When fighting against others, occasionally using blood flowing from wounds as a means of attack often had unexpected effects.

In addition, the blood of those who cultivate this method often contains more energy. When using some blood-burning secret techniques, there is often a more terrifying power amplification.

However, this method is extremely difficult to cultivate. In the process of cultivation, one must guide the power of stars to infuse the blood, not only enduring pain that ordinary people cannot imagine, but also bearing enormous risks.

Because blood travels throughout the body along the blood vessels, passing through important checkpoints such as the heart orifice and the dantian, once the stellar power in the blood is not controlled, it would be a very deadly matter.

However, after reading it, Han Li only praised it and had no intention of cultivating this method, because the scroll had already clearly stated that this cultivation method was not suitable for those with special bloodlines.

The reason for this was simply because the blood power of this type of person was stronger and more difficult to control its fusion with the power of the stars. Han Li's own bloodline power was already very complex. If he still wanted to cultivate this method, it would be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire and courting death.

However, this cultivation method was not entirely without reference value for Han Li. The various blood guidance methods mentioned in it, as well as the means to calm the riot of stellar power, were very useful.

However, how to cultivate and learn required Han Li to carefully peel away the layers and separate the beneficial parts.

After a long while, he slowly rolled up the scroll, rubbed his aching brow, slowly stood up, and put it back on the crystal exquisite pagoda.

In these few days, he had read all the classics on this exquisite pagoda, but the useful information he found was not much.

Even the *Xing Yuan Lian Xue Shu* just now could only play a supplementary role and could not completely solve his current predicament.

However, having found some methods to alleviate the situation, Han Li also intended to try to cultivate them.

He turned and left the main hall, heading towards another main hall.

When Han Li arrived at the central main hall where the star formation was operating, he saw that Xie Daoren in the formation had been completely covered by a layer of blood-colored crystal light. Under the refraction of light, his figure could no longer be seen clearly.

He did not stay, but only glanced at it briefly and turned away.

As soon as he entered another main hall, Han Li felt a wall of air crashing into his face. Then, his whole body seemed to be wrapped in a warm current, which was extremely comfortable.

He looked around and found that the entire main hall was engraved with various runes. The top of his head and the ground beneath his feet were all engraved with star patterns, flickering dimly.

There were also streams of starlight, with white light flowing like water waves, looking extremely gorgeous.

"As expected of Xie Daoren's former retreat, the stellar power inside is so rich..." Seeing this, Han Li couldn't help but admire.

After saying that, he came to a lotus platform futon in the center of the main hall and sat down cross-legged.

Immediately, a white halo lit up beneath Han Li's buttocks, as if a cotton pad had been inserted, which was very comfortable.

After sitting down, he closed his eyes and adjusted his breath for a moment, and began to recall the *Xing Yuan Lian Xue Shu* cultivation method he had just read, but did not immediately start to cultivate.

He directly ignored the part of this cultivation method about how to guide the power of stars into the body to condense the blood, and only selected the second half about how to calm the power of stars to learn.

The stellar power emphasized in the cultivation method is actually similar in nature to the true spirit bloodline. When it riots, the power is uncontrollable. On the one hand, it will burn the body's essence and blood, and on the other hand, it will break through the meridians, causing the whole body to explode.

Han Li relied on his strong physique and, to a certain extent, could avoid the fate of exploding and dying, but it was inevitable that his blood would become hot and boiling, and after burning out, his whole body would be exhausted and die.

After thinking for a long time, Han Li began to pinch his fingers and operate his energy according to the incantation in the cultivation method, silently cultivating.

……

In a flash, more than eight years had passed.

In the closed-door training hall, Han Li sat cross-legged on the lotus platform futon, his skin all over his body as red as blood, and pink mist was steaming from his body, filling the room, as if he had opened a hot spring.

His eyes were as red as blood, but his pupils were calm and serene, without any sense of panic.

He saw that his hands pinched a strange magic formula, and bursts of chanting sounded from his mouth. His body tilted to the right, one hand supporting his head, and one leg bent, making a reclining Buddha sleeping position.

As this still sleeping posture was displayed, the stellar power in his body was like river water, surging from head to toe, and then surging from foot to head, steadily reciprocating, smoothing out his rioting true spirit bloodline little by little.

The blood-red color on his body also began to recede from head to neck, and from neck to chest, gradually returning to normal.

"It's done. This period of effort has not been in vain..." After a long while, Han Li turned over and sat up, a smile on his face.

In the past eight years, Han Li had spent most of his time cultivating the Star Essence Blood Refining Art in the closed-door training room, except for a small amount of time he would go to the main hall where the cultivation methods were stored to read the classics.

After countless attempts, he finally gradually mastered the method of calming the true spirit bloodline.

Han Li stood up, stretched his waist, and looked up. He suddenly saw that the star map carved above his head was constantly flashing with light. The streams of starlight carved in it were like jade belts hanging in the air, although mysterious and beautiful, but not as dazzling as in the past.

"It seems to be a clear sky with a bright moon and sparse stars again..." Han Li was in a good mood and muttered to himself.

He had discovered long ago that this crystal palace, although located under the blood lake, could be connected to the starry sky outside. Whenever night fell and the stars filled the sky, the star map above the palace would also light up like stars.

The denser the stars in the night sky, the brighter the star map in the crystal palace, and the more intense the stellar power absorbed in it. Today, it was clear that the moon was in the sky, but the starlight seemed a bit dim.

Han Li watched for a moment, and suddenly his heart moved. He reached into his arms and, after a period of groping, took out the dark green bottle that had accompanied him all the way in his cultivation from his chest and placed it on the ground.

He saw the light projected from the top of the room pouring down on the dark green bottle, plating it with a layer of soft light, clearly outlining the lines on the bottle.

However, after waiting for a long time, the bottle just stayed in place quietly, without any change.

"Sure enough, it doesn't work? It seems that only stars can be projected down in this crystal palace..." Before he could finish his words, his brows couldn't help but twitch slightly, and a very familiar scene appeared before his eyes.

A layer of hazy white light rose above the bottle, and pieces of leaf-shaped patterns also lit up. The entire bottle became crystal clear, and white light spots formed around the bottle, turning into a huge white halo, lighting up a soft light.

However, the speed at which these white light spots condensed was indeed a bit slow, and much slower compared to before.

Han Li watched for a moment, and then put the bottle back. He just had a whim and wanted to try it. He didn't plan to use this Palm Heaven Bottle to condense green liquid, after all, it was not needed in this Scale Accumulation Void Realm for the time being.

After putting it away, he turned and left the main hall, and went to the main hall of classics again.

……

More than a month later, one day.

Han Li sat cross-legged in the closed-door training hall, took out three things from his sleeve, and placed them in front of him one by one.

They were four ancient statues of the same texture, which looked like some kind of demonic creature, all with three heads and six arms, but their respective facial expressions and movement details were very different.
