Li Mo and the Golden Toad stared at each other, its spiritual wisdom appearing sowhat dull.
When the Tattooed Beasts, including the Red Fox, were released, they curiously gathered around the Golden Toad.
The Golden Toad, frightened, continuously attempted to escape.
Li Mo shook his head helplessly. For now, expecting the Golden Toad to autonomously attack was unrealistic, forcing him to split his attention to control its actions.
However, as long as the Golden Toad did not show signs of losing control, its spiritual wisdom was likely to improve given the potential of the secondary beast head tattoo.
Li Mo let the five little creatures move freely within the seclusion room.
At first, the Golden Toad exhibited so hesitation but quickly adjusted to the external environnt, opening its mouth to absorb the tallic spiritual energy in the air.
Li Mo stretched lazily. While preparing the Golden Toad Beast Head’s simulation with his eight-ard spine nerve, he pulled out a bone scroll from his chest pocket.
Regarding the promotion of the Universal Skillful Hand, Li Mo occasionally exchanged ideas with Han Cai via spiritual tablets.
However, due to Li Mo not cultivating multi-limb techniques, Han Cai did not recomnd hastily undergoing multi-arm transformation.
Li Mo himself felt that the benefits of the multi-arm transformation were limited for him. Yet, given the difficulty of refining Corpse Mountain during the early stage of youth, he had no choice but to rely on the extra limbs provided by the Universal Skillful Hand.
He devised a possible solution: using the Multi-legged Soul Spider Spell to refine temporary arms.
According to Li Mo’s concept, the temporary arms would rely on spiritual power to sustain vitality. Once spiritual power was depleted, the arms would wither and decay.
Simply put, these were a pair of arms that could be discarded at any ti.
Han Cai reviewed the Multi-legged Soul Spider Spell and deed the temporary arms feasible to a certain extent. However, as it was rely a workaround, residual impurities from the spiritual energy in the arms would inevitably corrode the flesh.
Since Li Mo possessed multiple dantians, he naturally did not fear the downsides of the temporary arms. In the end, he persuaded Han Cai to perfect the plan with him.
Li Mo poured the prepared soul spider blood into a Liu Li jar, inside which were two lifelike swollen human hands, actually a type of spiritual material known as Blood and Flesh Lotus.
Due to the special texture of Blood and Flesh Lotus and the effects of the Multi-limb Mountain Yam Field, its structure had beco highly close to that of a normal arm.
Once the soul spider blood was fully absorbed, Li Mo retrieved the Blood and Flesh Lotus.
As if refining a magical artifact, Li Mo reconstructed ridian vessels and blood vessels for the Blood and Flesh Lotus, using the ground beast bones in place of normal bones.
Li Mo worked arduously for a long ti. As soon as the temporary arms were ford, fine spider fur sprouted across their surface, giving them a visibly unstable appearance.
The Creation Book flipped open, and the blank pages instantly revealed the shadow image of the temporary arms, proving their feasibility and even readiness for direct imprinting.
Li Mo cut open his side ribs and grafted the temporary arms onto the wounds. The Universal Skillful Hand instinctively generated blood vessels, establishing connections between his left and right arms’ magic fingers and the temporary arms.
The Universal Skillful Hand achieved promotion to the Weak Crown Period, but once the temporary arms lost vitality, the spell would regress to the Childhood stage.
Li Mo swung the arms a few tis to get accustod. As Mist Fog Spiritual Power surged into the temporary arms, the spiritual energy began to beco distinctly impure.
The flesh at the connection points also began to show signs of decay.
However, this would be manageable for the short term. The two temporary arms seed almost naturally his.
He reabsorbed the Tattooed Beasts back into his skin, then tested the Golden Toad Beast Head, initiating simulations of the tattoo on his left shoulder using various materials.
Originally estimated to take half a day, Li Mo completed it in rely one two-hour cycle.
Once the simulation of the Golden Toad Beast Head was completed, the entire tattoo resembled a design etched in gold. A chillingly fierce aura surged forth.
Li Mo observed the temporary arms and noticed that their flesh had already started showing subtle signs of deterioration.
"It seems unless directly imprinted, even sustaining spiritual power continuously won’t allow the soul spider arms to exist for long..."
The brutal grafting thod for the arms was sothing only Li Mo could utilize. Without multiple dantians, even slight negligence could lead to deviation.
After thinking for a mont, he began mass-producing temporary arms, stopping only when over ten Liu Li jars were placed before him.
Li Mo casually tore off the temporary arms that had turned black and spoiled. Imrsed in absolute focus, he seed to feel no pain at all.
He ntally reviewed the refining process for Corpse Mountain.
No matter how confident he was, Li Mo knew it was impossible to succeed on the first attempt. He directly took out the at Stone dug from the Three-layered dicinal Field.
The at Stone was also classified as spiritual material, found exclusively at high altitudes on Multi-limb Mountain. It asured over two ters in size, composed entirely of innurable arms.
Li Mo carefully inspected the at Stone, studying its surface patterns, contemplating where to begin for Corpse Mountain.
Corpse Mountain, as a top-grade magical artifact with Yin Earth properties, had a unique feature: the need to bury corpses within the mountain to nurture Yin Attribute Spiritual Energy, resembling a fake spirit stone vein.
at Stone itself constituted corpses, so theoretically, refining Corpse Mountain shouldn’t be too difficult.
Li Mo took a deep breath and grafted new temporary arms again. Using the at Stone as the core, he began layering it with various Earth Attribute Spiritual Materials.
Despite being rely a magical artifact embryo, refining Corpse Mountain required hundreds of Earth Attribute Spiritual Materials.
Fortunately, Corpse Mountain did not demand high-grade materials. Otherwise, Li Mo would have gone bankrupt trying to gather such a large amount of mid- to high-grade spiritual materials.
The at Stone gradually expanded in size, cracking the floor and forming a large pit.
Ka ka ka...
Cracks spread across the at Mountain, and due to mismatches in spiritual material compatibility, Li Mo’s first attempt at refining Corpse Mountain ended in failure.
Li Mo’s expression remained indifferent as he tossed the at Stone into his storage bag. With a significant amount of spiritual materials wasted, the at Stone’s only remaining use was fertilizing dicine fields.
He replaced his temporary arms, beginning again to refine a new at Stone.
Li Mo had been preparing for this Corpse Mountain for two years, spending most of the spirit stones he earned on purchasing materials. He refused to give up, believing he’d eventually stumble upon success against the odds.
Yet, his second at Stone broke down imdiately due to a mismatch in material compatibility.
Li Mo silently summarized the errors, adding the eight-ard spine nerve into the refining process to handle minute supportive adjustnts.
Any artifact refiner witnessing this scene would likely be utterly astounded.
Li Mo’s morization skills were fully utilized, and even his head emitted white vapor, causing the seclusion room’s temperature to rise noticeably.
No longer content with just one pair of temporary arms, he directly grafted three pairs onto his ribs.
Mid-grade Spirit Stones were piled in the corner, while the Pao Xiao Swallowing Body replenished Li Mo’s spiritual power, and the resilience of his Eight Extraordinary ridians ensured he wouldn’t collapse.
His refining motions were dizzyingly fast, and although the at Stones kept failing, the completeness of the magical artifact embryo continued to improve bit by bit.
Li Mo’s innate madness surfaced—he wouldn’t stop until he reached his goal.
Even while fusing spiritual materials, the eight-ard spine nerve kept producing temporary arms, treating them entirely as consumables.
The refining ordeal lasted a full two months.
After burning through most of his assets, Li Mo finally succeeded in refining a sowhat incomplete Corpse Mountain artifact embryo. Its quality hovered between mid and top grade.
The Corpse Mountain stood over ten ters tall, with an outward appearance devoid of the Multi-limb Mountain’s eerie strangeness.
Its outer form resembled a perfectly scaled-down mountain range, complete with rocky cliffs shaped from hundreds of Earth Attribute Spiritual Materials—flawlessly detailed.
Li Mo stowed the Corpse Mountain into his internal organs and imdiately collapsed into sleep.
