"What's the matter?" Han Li turned to look at Silver Moon, a strange expression flashing in his eyes.
"Since becoming the spirit of the artifact, it seems that Master has never allowed me to enhance the power of the flying sword in spirit form, nor has he summoned me out in spirit form to confront enemies. I wonder if Master can tell me the reason." Silver Moon asked slowly.
"Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?" Han Li frowned, somewhat surprised.
"It's nothing. I'm just asking casually. After all, Silver Moon's true identity is just a spirit." Silver Moon lowered her head slightly and said softly.
"A spirit? Do you think you are an ordinary spirit? Ordinary spirits have no intelligence at all, so why would you ask such a question? Actually, although summoning the spirit to enhance the power of a magic weapon can greatly increase its power, it also consumes a lot of spiritual energy for the spirit itself. Some magic weapon masters have even caused their spirits to disperse on their own due to excessive use, so I won't summon you in spirit form to deal with enemies unless absolutely necessary. After all, it would be detrimental to your cultivation, and that's not a good thing for me either." After a moment of silence, Han Li said lightly. Then, without saying anything else, he turned and left the hall.
Silver Moon, who remained in the hall, blinked her clear eyes a few times, a pensive look appearing on her jade-like face, pondering something.
After a while, she lowered her head to look at the jade box in her hand, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth before she also walked out.
...
The next day, Han Li appeared in the secret room of the cave mansion, ready to begin cultivating the second Nascent Soul technique.
Ordinary secret techniques simply couldn't compare to such grand techniques, so Han Li had been preparing for today's cultivation for a long time.
Now, Han Li sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a pale blue jade slip in his hand. It seemed that he was immersing his divine sense in it, comprehending something.
This jade slip recorded the "Mystical Nascent Soul Technique".
After a moment, Han Li withdrew his divine sense, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. Then, he formed seals with both hands, and uttered a few low incantations. His body then froze in place, motionless.
Above his heavenly spirit aperture, a cyan light flashed, and a baby wrapped in cyan light suddenly appeared there. It was the Nascent Soul that Han Li had painstakingly cultivated for over two hundred years.
This Nascent Soul seemed slightly more robust than a few years ago. Its eyes were black and clear, showing spirituality.
Han Li dared to let it out of his body only in extremely safe places like this secret room. Otherwise, if anything went wrong, Han Li's Nascent Soul would be extremely fragile.
After sitting on top of Han Li's head for a while, the Nascent Soul tilted its head to glance around the secret room. Then, surrounded by cyan light, it transformed into a wisp of spiritual light and began to move slowly in the secret room.
At first, it seemed a bit unfamiliar, but gradually, it seemed to grasp the method of flight. The cyan light became faster and faster. At last, the entire secret room was filled with a ghostly cyan light, flickering and flashing, which was quite impressive.
After a while, the Nascent Soul suddenly stopped its flight and floated to a corner of the secret room, as if it had remembered something. With a wave of its two white and tender little hands, a green light suddenly appeared, and it disappeared from its original place. The next moment, it reappeared above Han Li's head. However, its face was slightly pale, as if it had consumed a lot of spiritual energy.
