Han Li passed through the layers of white jade bookshelves around him and walked up to take a look, only to discover that this crystal exquisite pagoda was not engraved with runes, nor was it any kind of immortal magic treasure, but merely a uniquely shaped storage rack.

Inside the crystal exquisite pagoda, each level was divided into eight compartments, and each compartment was filled with many jade slips and silk papers.

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

The higher up, the smaller each level of the exquisite pagoda became, and the fewer books it could hold. By the time it reached the top level, there were only eight items left, all of which were in the form of jade slips.

Having heard what Crab Taoist said earlier, Han Li had no scruples. He casually picked up a jade slip, glanced at it briefly, then raised his hand and pressed it against his brow, carefully investigating.

After a moment, he put down the jade slip, his expression slightly changing.

The jade slip he had just put down recorded a puppet refining technique called *Hundred Refinements into a Puppet*. Han Li only glanced through it briefly, and his heart was already filled with amazement.

Just considering the puppet materials, it discussed the "Heavenly Timing", "Geographical Advantages", and "Human Harmony" aspects 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 of 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, trying to see if he could find cultivation methods or divine abilities to restrain or resolve the backlash of the true spirit bloodline within his body.

Therefore, after putting back *Hundred Refinements into a Puppet*, he continued to pick up other jade slips and placed them against 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 *Star Essence Blood Refining Art* in his hands, examining it carefully.

The content recorded in this cultivation method was truly unique, differing from ordinary profound cultivation body refinement techniques that temper the physical body, muscles, and bones. It boldly proposed refining blood with the power of stars.

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

In addition, the blood of those who cultivated this method often contained more energy, and when using some blood-burning secret techniques, they often had even more terrifying power amplification.

However, this method was extremely difficult to cultivate. During the mind cultivation process, one had to endure unimaginable pain and bear huge risks when guiding the power of stars to infuse the blood.

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

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

The reason was simply that the blood power of these people was stronger and more difficult to control its fusion with stellar power. Han Li's own bloodline power was already very mixed. If he still wanted to cultivate this method, it would be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire and seeking his own death.

However, this cultivation method was not entirely useless for Han Li. The various blood guiding methods mentioned in it, as well as the means to calm the stellar power's riot, were very useful.

It was just that how to cultivate and learn required Han Li to carefully unravel and separate out the beneficial parts.

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

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

Even the *Star Essence Blood Refining Art* just now could only play a supporting role and could not completely solve his current predicament.

However, he had at least found some mitigation methods, and Han Li planned to try cultivating them.

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

When Han Li came to the central main hall where the star array was operating, he saw that the Crab Taoist in the array had been completely covered by a layer of blood-colored crystal light. Under the refraction of light, it was no longer possible to see his figure clearly.

He did not linger, but only glanced at it hastily and turned away.

As soon as he entered another main hall, Han Li felt as if he had bumped into a wall of air, and then his whole body seemed to be enveloped by a warm current, 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 rivers of stars, with white light flowing like water waves inside, looking dazzling.

"As expected of Crab Taoist's former retreat, the stellar power inside is so rich..." Han Li couldn't help but admire when he saw this.

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

Immediately, a ball of white light 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 *Star Essence Blood Refining Art* he had just read in his mind, but did not immediately start cultivating.

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

The stellar power emphasized in the cultivation method was actually similar in nature to the true spirit bloodline. When it rioted, it was a situation where the power could not be controlled. On the one hand, it would burn a whole body of essence and blood, and on the other hand, it would break through the blood vessels and cause the whole body to explode.

Han Li relied on his strong physique to avoid the fate of dying from an explosion to a certain extent, but it was inevitable that the blood would become hot and boiling. After burning out, the whole body would wither and die.

After thinking for a long time, Han Li began to pinch the magic formula and operate the exercises silently, according to the mantra in the cultivation method.

……

Time flew by, and more than eight years passed.

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

His eyes were as red as blood, but the light in his pupils was calm and serene, without the slightest hint of panic.

He saw that his hands were pinching a strange magic formula, and a burst of chanting sounded from his mouth. His body tilted to the right, and he propped his head with one hand and bent one leg, making a sleeping posture like a reclining Buddha.

As this still reclining posture was put out, the stellar power in his body was like a river of water, surging from head to toe, and then from foot to head, steadily transmitting back and forth, smoothing down 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 all..." After a long while, Han Li turned over and sat up, with a smile on his face.

In these eight years, Han Li spent most of his time cultivating the *Star Essence Blood Refining Art* in the closed-door chamber, except for a small amount of time to 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, looked up, and suddenly saw that the star map carved above his head was constantly flashing, and the rivers of stars engraved in it were like jade belts hanging in the air, although mysterious and beautiful, they were not as brilliant as in the past.

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

He had discovered long ago that this crystal palace where he was located, 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 the stars.

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

Han Li looked at it for a moment, then suddenly his heart moved. He reached into his arms, groped for a while, and took out the dark green vial that had accompanied him all the way in his cultivation from his chest, and placed it on the ground.

The light projected from the roof above fell on the dark green vial, plating it with a soft light, clearly outlining the lines on the vial.

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

"It really doesn't work? It seems that only stars can be projected down in this crystal palace..." Before he finished speaking, his brow couldn't help but twitch slightly, and a very familiar scene appeared before his eyes.

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

However, the speed at which these white light spots condensed was really a bit slow, and compared to before in other places, it was much slower.

Han Li watched for a moment, and then put the vial back. He just had a whim and wanted to try it. He didn't intend to use this Palm Sky Bottle to condense green liquid, after all, this thing was not needed much 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 classic main hall again.

……

More than a month later, one day.

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

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