I can push my cultivation progress to the end

After taking out a yellow talisman, Li Hai's expression turned solemn as he formed a hand seal and chanted an incantation.

After a few breaths, he let out a low shout:

"Armor Horse Spell, quick!"

With this low shout, the yellow talisman between his fingers instantly ignited without fire, transforming from substance to nothingness, becoming a wisp of invisible energy that fluttered and wrapped around his legs and feet.

Whoosh~

Then, Li Hai experienced what it meant to have the wind beneath his feet.

Originally walking at a normal person's pace, his speed suddenly increased dozens of times, as if riding an invisible divine steed, his feet seeming to touch the ground and not touch the ground as he flew towards the continuous mountains at the end of the wilderness.

"Awesome! Hahahaha~"

Bathing in the bright sunlight, Li Hai, whose legs and feet did not move at all but flew at extreme speed, spread his arms and laughed loudly.

At the same time, as he 'flew' close to the ground, the rays of sunlight that enveloped him were also magically transformed into strands of Yang energy, which he absorbed into his body and soul, undergoing three transformations and nine refinements, turning into streams and bundles of invisible mana.

The reason why Li Hai could convert sunlight into Yang energy, and then refine it into mana, was because the sun hanging in the sky was the largest source of Yang energy in the world.

Also, it was because of the 'Sun Scorching Yang 引阳 Art' learned from Zhang Miaoji, whose core purpose was to summon sunlight and convert Yang energy.

As for the other technique that also had the word 'Yang', the 'Primal Breath Refining Yang 元息炼阳 Method', it was the more important foundation technique for converting Yang energy into mana.

Then, with the help of the Armor Horse Spell, Li Hai crossed the entire wilderness in a short period of time without consuming any physical energy or stamina, and arrived at the continuous mountains that he had previously seen in the distance.

After arriving here, the talisman's effect also came to an end, so Li Hai's pace also dropped sharply to the level of an ordinary person.

Although he could continue to use the Armor Horse Spell to travel, firstly, this spell was not suitable for mountainous and forest areas, and secondly, the speed was actually not as fast as Li Hai's two legs.

So, after playing with the Armor Horse Spell once and having his fill, he decided to walk the rest of the way himself.

As a top-notch Steel-level martial artist, Li Hai was extremely terrifying when he used his physical abilities.

His body was clearly as strong as a tiger, but he could move like a phantom, freely shuttling through the mountains and forests as fast as lightning.

With a light step, he could cross dozens of feet.

At this terrifying speed, Li Hai could walk on flat ground regardless of steep slopes or potholes.

Even if there were occasional boulders blocking the way or cliffs blocking the road, he only needed to step on their solid surfaces a few times, breaking and cracking a few small dents, and he could use the force to easily cross the entire towering stone wall.

As Li Hai climbed over mountains and ridges, the surrounding mountains became more and more precipitous, and the trees all around became taller and denser.

These trees were tall and dense, with their branches and leaves intertwined, forming large swathes of dark green canopy, coupled with the surrounding fluttering, thick or thin, hazy mountain mist, making the light in this mountain domain as weak as dusk.

In this dark mountain wilderness, Li Hai stopped his rapid pace and turned to look towards the southeast.

"The aura of a ghost."

He stared quietly at the southeast, "Among them, there is also a strong aura of living people, and the two auras are intertwined and inseparable from each other, it's really strange."

Ghosts are ghosts, and people are people, the two are distinct and there is never a middle ground.

This has always been the view of the world, and it is also Li Hai's consistent understanding.

Even if he himself could freely switch between ghosts and living people, he could not become a state that was both a ghost and a person.

But what is going on with this aura that is both human and ghost, the two are vaguely intertwined and inseparable from each other?

"Strange, strange."

Li Hai said to himself, "I will go and take a look."

Saying that, he changed direction and rushed towards the direction from which the neither-human-nor-ghost aura came from.

Li Hai, who possessed three perception-type techniques: 'Ghost Seeking and Monster Hunting', 'Aura Observation Technique', and 'Yin-Yang Eyes', was very sensitive to the flow and changes of various auras in the outside world.

So, even if this strange aura was very weak, even so weak that it was almost non-existent, Li Hai could still cling to it and trace it all the way.

The process of flashing, moving, passing through forests, and crossing streams is not mentioned. In short, after traveling about ten miles, he arrived at the edge of a not-so-wide mountain turbid stream.

And that strange aura, which was obviously much clearer, was hidden under this rather turbid stream.

"Could it be... the legendary water monkey?"

Just as his thoughts were turning, the turbid stream suddenly rippled, and a humanoid creature covered in dirty green hair, unable to see even half of its face, crawled out of it.

After this green-haired monster emerged from the water and saw Li Hai, it screamed in fright as if a person had seen a ghost, and hurriedly wanted to return to the bottom of the stream.

But how could Li Hai let it go so easily.

He took out a yellow talisman from his pocket and quickly formed a hand seal and chanted a spell:

"Spirit Binding Spell, quick!"

The paper talisman ignited without fire, turning existence into nothingness.

Whoosh~

A wisp of invisible energy arrived in an instant and accurately hit the green-haired monster.

"Gah..."

Under the Spirit Binding Spell, this green-haired monster only had time to let out half a scream before it stiffened on the surface of the stream as if it were dead.

Swish——

In the next instant, a strange gust of wind swept past, and the monster was blown to the edge of the stream at Li Hai's feet.

Yes, this strange wind was also created by Li Hai, and was created by the 'Wave Surging Palm' that Zhang Miaoji 'provided' as a friend.

This technique was originally used by Zhang Miaoji to project yellow talismans, but now it is being used by Li Hai to grab objects from the air, which is just right.

"I didn't expect..."

Looking down at the green-haired monster lying motionless on the ground, Li Hai marveled, "There really are half-human, half-ghost creatures in this world."

That's right, through observation and the system's detection, this green-haired monster is indeed something that is both a human and a ghost.

And this monster's personal interface is——

Character Name: Unknown

Level Rank: Ghost Peasant → Yin Qi Emerging

Skills Owned: 'Survival in Harsh Environments (Fragmented)', 'Minor Yin Absorption Art (Fragmented)', 'Ghost Eye Night Vision (Fragmented)'

Lexicon Characteristics:

Strongest Fragment: None

"Ghost Peasant..."

Li Hai frowned as he looked up and down at this so-called ghost peasant, and for the first time, he didn't want to learn the other party's cultivation system and skills.

Because according to the system's detection results, once you have this ghost peasant bloodline, your lifespan will be reduced by nearly half, and you will become confused, afraid of light and cleanliness, and like darkness and raw food.

This is basically an inferior, short-lived species that is even worse than humans.

Just as Li Hai, full of disgust, released the Spirit Binding on the green-haired monster and wanted to kick it back into the stream, the monster actually got up and kowtowed non-stop, and stammered in human language:

"Lord... spare... spare me, I... I am not a monster, please don't kill me!"
