Chapter 985: Separation Following Reunion
Violet Spirit didn't refuse Han Li's offerings, but her expression instantly changed slightly after she inspected the contents of the jade slips with her spiritual sense.
Her cultivation base wasn't particularly advanced, but she had accumulated some knowledge and experience during her time in the Black River Water Palace and Puppet City, so she could tell that these were all extremely precious cultivation arts.
"I can tell that you've already made good progress in the Puppet Heart Technique, but when it comes to honing spiritual sense, no cultivation art can match the Spirit Refinement Technique. If you can master the Spirit Refinement Technique, your puppet manipulation abilities will be sure to benefit immensely.
“However, there are very severe risks involved in pursuing this cultivation art, and I've laid out those risks in detail in the jade slip, and it's up to you whether you would like to cultivate it or not. Make sure to cultivate the Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts diligently as well. Once you've opened a profound acupoint, the corresponding immortal acupoint will be far easier to open," Han Li said.
"I understand," Violet Spirit replied with a nod, then stowed the jade slips away.
"As for the other two cultivation arts, I obtained both of them from a Great Encompassment Stage devilish cultivator. You won't be able to cultivate them for now, but they fit quite well with your physical constitution, so you can save them for the future.
“However, you can begin cultivating the Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts and the Spirit Refinement Technique right away. You can stay here to cultivate while I keep a lookout for Brother Xie. That way, I'll be able to give you some instruction in your cultivation," Han Li continued.
"There's no need for that. I plan to return to City Lord Sha's side. My puppet manipulation techniques still have much room for improvement, and I'll make sure to put these cultivation arts to good use as well. I'll be sure to look after myself, so there's no need to worry about me," Violet Spirit replied as she averted her gaze.
"In that case, take this with you as well. I obtained this puppet from one of the Puppet City cultivators, and it's quite powerful, so keep it for your own protection. Even if Sha Xin finds out about it, she won't say anything if you tell her that it's from me," Han Li said he offered her the golden ball that was the Gold-Winged Falcon puppet.
"That's a Gold-Winged Falcon!" Violet Spirit exclaimed at the sight of golden ball, and she hesitated momentarily, but still accepted it in the end.
"You've given me so many things, but all I can give you in return is this," she said as she handed a translucent green jade pendant to Han Li.
However, the jade pendant wasn't complete, and it seemed to be only half a pendant. Furthermore, its edge was rather jagged and uneven, seemingly indicating that someone had forcibly snapped the jade pendant into two.
