Chapter 62 Keeping the Appointment
Inside the quiet room of the Mi Xin Hall, two figures with identical appearances, builds, and auras sat facing each other, like reflections in a mirror, indistinguishable from one another.
At one point, they both suddenly opened their eyes at the same time.
Su Mixin was secretly amazed. The coexistence of two bodies, the simultaneous viewing of the world from two perspectives, the ability to perceive all directions, the dual knowledge in a single thought, and the clarity of all phenomena—this profound and mysterious cultivation experience was something he had never personally experienced before in his cultivation journey.
The two bodies rose in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized, as if they were moving as one, with no distinction between one and the other.
The next instant, a series of fine, crisp cracking sounds erupted from his body, his flesh, meridians, and skin all stretched and trembled, and his entire body underwent a subtle transformation. This was his physical body rapidly accepting and adapting to the Core Formation level physical power brought by the Stone Embryo Incarnation, completing the cross-level integration.
Meanwhile, the innate stone fetus's external manifestation remained perfectly still.
Su Mixin slowly clenched his fist, the force at his fingertips heavy and profound. A powerful physical force far exceeding the Foundation Establishment level flowed through his limbs and bones, causing his mind to tremble and allowing him to truly experience the tremendous transformation brought about by this opportunity.
To fully adapt to her new physical state, Su Mixin devoted herself to regulating her breathing in the quiet room, carefully refining her mind and body.
This adaptation process lasted for a full three days.
Three days later, his body and mind were completely at peace and unhindered, and his state reached perfection.
Su Mixin estimated that it was time to leave the seclusion.
With a slight stirring in his mind, he attempted for the first time to unify his two bodies, trying to merge his external avatar into his main body.
The external avatar transformed into a pure, flawless, shimmering white light, completely enveloping the main body and seamlessly integrating into every inch of its texture and every cell of its flesh, achieving harmony between the inside and outside, and unifying the exterior and interior.
This fusion of the two bodies is seamless and without a trace. The aura, spiritual power, and physical body are completely unified, and there is no trace of the existence of the clone.
Such mystery is so profound that even a powerful expert with far superior cultivation would find it extremely difficult to discern even the slightest clue when carefully probing with their divine sense.
Following that, Su Mixin tried to activate the buffing state of her avatar once again.
With a soft hum, his spiritual power surged dramatically, layers upon layers of spiritual energy surging endlessly, and his cultivation foundation rapidly increased, steadily surpassing the limit of the Foundation Establishment Perfection stage, stabilizing at a delicate critical state.
It surpasses the Foundation Establishment stage but hasn't reached the initial Core Formation stage; it can even be called the half-step Core Formation realm!
Su Mixin dispelled the blessing, and the spiritual energy around her returned to peace, but a faint and confident smile appeared on her lips.
"When I reach the late stage of Core Formation, if Wen Tianren dares to stand before me again, I'll see if he still dares to claim to be the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage!"
He idly pondered, recalling Han Laomo's classic comment on Wen Tianren in the original work: "The so-called number one person below the Nascent Soul stage is ultimately nothing more than a mere Core Formation cultivator."
However, when he reaches the late stage of Core Formation, with perfect supernatural powers and complete magical treasures, he may well be able to launch a counterattack, directly confronting or even annihilating a complete Nascent Soul cultivator!
With this thought in mind, Su Mi's heart was filled with anticipation, for the road ahead was arduous and the path to greatness was promising.
Although she decided to leave seclusion, Su Mixin did not plan to leave the meditation room immediately, because she estimated that it should be time after the defeat of the six factions of Yue Kingdom, and she could go to the vicinity of the teleportation array to see if Old Demon Han had kept his appointment.
Su Mixin took out the Hearthstone and began to activate it. Ten breaths later, a white light flashed, and her figure disappeared.

In the Yue Kingdom, dozens of miles away from the spirit stone mine where the teleportation array was located, a hidden temporary cave was carved out at the foot of an inconspicuous barren hillside.
Han Li then hid in this cave, and more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
To be honest, his previous experiences and circumstances were quite miserable.
With the six sects of Yue Kingdom in decline and their army defeated and destroyed, he, as a pseudo-spiritual root foundation-building disciple, was ultimately abandoned by Huangfeng Valley and became a pawn.
He fled all the way and luckily escaped into the Tianxing Sect Market in the Yuanwu Kingdom, where he found a place to stay for the time being. He then made a large purchase to prepare for his future.
In a chaotic world with an uncertain future, once he had gained a foothold, Han Li had to carefully consider his own future.
He did initially consider heading north to completely escape his homeland of Yue and travel to another country to live in seclusion and cultivate himself.
However, whenever he thought of the plight of those rogue cultivators in Yue, he felt extremely troubled.
Although he possessed the miraculous green bottle that could continuously generate spiritual herbs and provide ample elixirs for his cultivation, the overall situation in the Tiannan cultivation world was solidified, with high-level resources firmly monopolized by the top sects with Nascent Soul cultivators in charge, creating a formidable barrier.
If he were to attempt to obtain a spiritual artifact to aid his breakthrough to the Core Formation stage, given his status as a rootless and unaffiliated cultivator, the chances would be slim and his path fraught with difficulty.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, the two options that Su Mixin, the young master of the Thousand Illusions Sect, had mentioned to him two years ago in the underground cave of the spirit stone mine resurfaced in his mind.
Su Mixin is a mysterious and unpredictable person with unfathomable cultivation and strength, making it impossible for anyone to see through her.
I can't fathom his stance or thoughts.
However, despite meeting him several times, I never actually made a move against him.
Although he had severely wronged him at Yanling Fort, he later comforted him and showed goodwill when they met again.
Furthermore, he has always presented himself as an ordinary cultivator with pseudo-spiritual roots, so he shouldn't be worth the trouble of a young master of a major sect plotting against him.
After weighing the pros and cons and deliberating repeatedly, Han Li finally gritted his teeth and made a decision to keep his promise and seek a safe way out for Su Mixin.
Unexpectedly, the misfortunes on the journey far exceeded expectations.
Halfway through his journey, he encountered a female cultivator from the Hidden Moon Sect who called herself Nangong Ping. For some reason, she absorbed most of his cultivation, leaving him with almost no Foundation Establishment strength. He was now only at the Qi Refining stage, his strength had plummeted, and his situation was precarious.
Fortunately, Qu Hun, the corpse puppet, was by his side to protect him, which ensured his temporary safety.
Upon arriving at the spirit stone mine, Han Li immediately entered the underground cave and carved the three characters "Li Feiyu" on the stone wall at the deepest part of the cave.
He believed that once the young master Su arrived, he would immediately recognize the code and know that he had kept his promise to meet him.
Having marked the spot properly, he found this barren slope, dug a temporary cave to hide himself, and quietly waited for Su Mixin to arrive at their appointment.
For the first few days, he would sneak back into the cave once a day to investigate and wait for any sign of people.
But a week ago, things took an unexpected turn.
A large number of cultivators from the Ghost Spirit Sect moved into the spirit stone mine to take over the business there.
Han Li secretly probed with his mid-Foundation Establishment level divine sense and discovered that there were actually three Foundation Establishment cultivators among the newcomers, which instantly made his already predicament even worse.
Finally, Han Li took a risk and, taking advantage of the fact that the Ghost Spirit Sect members were still unsettled and their formation was not yet complete, secretly sneaked back into the cave in the dead of night.
At the end of the cave, hidden in a crevice in the stone wall that concealed the passage, was a jade slip containing a complete record of his current hiding place.
Fortunately, Han Li successfully entered and exited without alerting any Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators, narrowly escaping a dangerous situation.
