Рубрика: Путешествие к бессмертию

The female voice coldly said, Humph! Whos a woman? Do you mean me?

When Han Li heard this, he wryly smiled in response and withdrew his magic swords that were revolving at his side. He then calmly said, I dont care if youre a man or a woman. I just want to hear of your origins.

The white fox crouched and calmly glanced at Han Li, My origins? Am I not the artifact spirit of the ancient treasure in your hand?

Han Li frowned and gloomily replied, Of course I know youre an artifact spirit. However, Ive never heard of an artifact spirit being capable of possession.

The white fox curled its mouth and casually said, This merely illustrates your ignorance. Have I not already demonstrated that it is possible?

When Han Li heard this, he grew silent for a moment. After a short moment, he lifted the jade scepter in his hand and began to carefully look it over.

A vigilant expression appeared in the white foxs eyes and she coldly asked, What do you plan on doing?

Han Li sighed and calmly asked, Nothing in particular. I am merely curious as to how useless this jade scepter is now that youve successfully possessed the demon fox. If I were to shatter this, would anything happen to you?

The white foxs expression massively changed and it fiercely glared at Han Li. But after only a short moment, it thought of something and its imposing attitude soon disappeared. The white fox insipidly said, You dont need to test me. It is true that if you shatter the jade scepter, I will disappear as well. After all, artifact spirits are one with the treasures that contain them.

Afterwards, white light flashed from the foxs body and a huge pressure began to emit from it.

Han Lis heart trembled, and his expression immediately became tense.

The white fox glanced at Han Li and said, There is no need to be worried. I merely find it inconvenient to speak to you in beast form, so I am transforming into a human.

When Han Li heard this, he felt somewhat surprised but a bit more at ease as well.

At that moment, the white fox glowed with a blinding silver light, causing Han Li to unconsciously take a few steps back.

The white glow faded away to reveal a young woman with an alluring beauty. Apart from her shining green eyes being replaced with a clear black, the womans appearance was exactly the same as before it had been possessed. It seemed a demon beasts human form was permanent and it was incapable of being changed.

As Han Li pondered to himself, the young woman unconsciously covered her body. She then hesitantly asked, Does Fellow Daoist have any clothes? I feel… unaccustomed to this. After that was said, the woman revealed an expression of slight shyness.

Han Li was stunned for a moment, but he soon took out a few reserve clothes from his storage pouch and handed them over.

Many thanks, Fellow Daoist! The young woman took the clothes and began to drape them on her body, covering herself. freewenvel.com

Han Lis expression stirred. The womans every action excuded an undescribable gracefulness. Even women from noble households would find it difficult to match her. It was incredulous that she was originally a silver wolf.

Having finished putting on her clothes, the woman turned to Han Li and slowly said, You may call me Silvermoon. As for my origins, its not that I dont wish to tell you, but I cannot remember them myself. You should know that when a demons soul is refined into an artifact spirit, their consciousness will fade away and they become an obedient entity for their master to command. But for some unknown reason, I one day regained awareness and recalled a few memories of when I was alive. Although it is a rather small amount, I regained some ability for independent action. I faintly recalled that I was once a member of the Silver Wolves Clan. As such, Ive named myself Silvermoon Wolf since I do not have any memory of my original name. As she said this, the young woman elegantly took a few steps as if to slowly get accustomed to her new body.

A pensive expression appeared on Han Lis face as he stroked his chin. The Silvermoon Wolves Clan? I have no records of such demon beasts.

Silvermoon frowned and said, This merely came from a portion of my shattered memories. Perhaps I remembered incorrectly.

Han Li pondered for a moment before solemnly asking, Alright, youve lost the memories of your past, but what about the matter of an artifact spirit taking possession of another body? Dont tell me that all artifact spirits can do this. If this were true, the cultivation world wouldve long ago been thrown into disarray.

The young woman coldly smiled and countered, Do you really believe that I can casually possess any flesh body as I wish?

Han Li narrowed his eyes and stared at the woman, What do you mean?

Silvermoon pursed her lips and explained, The technique that I just used cant strictly be considered possession. It is merely an innate ability of us Silvermoon Wolves called Soul Devouring. By using our manifested souls, we may directly attack the soul of another. Of course, once we devour their souls, we may temporarily take control of the new body. However, this cannot last for a long period of time, otherwise our souls will merge with the possessed body and we will no longer be able to return to our own. Additionally, this ability is a double-edged sword. Our spiritual sense isnt particularly stronger than those of other demon clans. If we were to come across an opponent with a stronger spiritual sense, our lives would be thrown away. As a result, none dared to rashly use it. However, to someone without a body like me, it doesnt particularly matter.

Having seen Han Lis astonishment, she guessed what Han Li was about to ask and hurriedly continued, Please dont ask me about the specifics of Soul Devouring. It is only something I have an instinctual grasp of. But there is no need to worry, Soul Devouring possesses many restrictions and isnt something that I can casually use. It wouldve been impossible for me to use it as an artifact spirit if I werent originally a Silvermoon Wolf. Had I not been fortunate enough to come across this Four Pupiled Fox, I wouldnt have used it. I wouldve merely chosen to remain inside the jade scepter instead. According to my memories, the Four Pupiled Foxes were innately vulnerable against Silvermoon Wolves. With its spirit already possessed by the Cadaver Demon and without having to deal with the original bodys master, I was luckily able to succeed in possessing it.

Han Li closely looked into her eyes and found nothing strange. He couldnt help but doubtfully ask, Four Pupiled Fox? Was it not a Snowcloud Fox?

Its namesake, the innate devil pupils, only appear after its cultivation has reached the greater success stage. Our Silvermoon Wolves Soul Devouring is a joke in comparison to their devil eyes with their fearsome deadliness. But while their appearance is extremely similar to a common Snowcloud Fox, when it fully used its technique I immediately recognized it. Silvermoon faintly smiled and unconsciously revealed a captivating beauty.

Han Li pursed his lips and raised his most pressing concern, The demon foxs cultivation reached that of a grade seven demon beast. That isnt considered having reached greater success stage? And how come it is capable of taking human form when it had yet to breakthrough to metamorphosis stage? Moreover, how was the demon foxs cultivation able to change so suddenly? Dont tell me that you and the demon fox had been concealing this bodys true cultivation all along.

Haha! Fellow Daoist sure has many questions. However, I havent spoken to anybody else in countless years so I dont mind. I truly dont know why the demon fox was capable of transforming. I reckon that the Cadaver Demon saw that the situation was disadvantageous and decided to use a technique to forcefully graft a portion of its cultivation onto the demon fox. That was how its cultivation was able to reach such heights. The Four Pupiled Foxs true cultivation is still that of a genuine low grade spirit beast. Also, the Cadaver Demon wasnt able to stray too far away from its body once it grafted its cultivation onto the demon fox due to the rooms restrictions. As for why I am currently in human form, it is mostly because I am raising my cultivation to the border of a grade eight demon beast by using secret techniques. However, my cultivation will slowly decrease and I will turn back into a demon beast. It will be at least a month before I can use this technique again.

After that, Han Li didnt continue his questioning. Instead, he lowered his head in thought. A long while later, he indifferently said, Although this hasnt dispelled all of my doubts, Ive reached a general understanding. However, there is something I wish to ask Fellow Daoist Silvermoon. What do you plan on doing with that body?

Silvermoon revealed a mysterious smile and chuckled before asking, Would Fellow Daoist kill me if I told you that I planned on cultivating with it?

Regardless of whether or not youre the Cadaver Demons incarnation, only one of us will be leaving alive. With this staunch declaration, Han Li pointed to his flying swords without hesitation and had the azure sword curtain surge with light. It then transformed into a mist as it engulfed the demon foxs corner of the room in an enormous display of strength.

When the young woman saw Han Lis attack, she smirked and licked her luscious pink lips. With a bewitching, bone-shaking laugher, she faded away in a flash of white light.

The azure mist ended up striking nothing but the Lapis Stone wall in a series of small rings.

Han Li frowned and quickly swept his spiritual sense across the room but found no trace of the demon fox. Her concealment technique was far beyond his own.

However, Han Li still remained calm. He coldly sorted and slapped the storage pouch, taking a small silver bell into his hand.

Go! Han Li shouted. The small bell began to glow and instantly flew to a meter above his head.

Without the slightest delay, Han Li formed an incantation gesture with his hand and opened his mouth, releasing a breathful of azure Qi towards the small bell.

The ancient treasure flowed with light before releasing a loud clang.

Since this room was sealed, the silver bells sound attacks should be slightly more effective. As of that moment, the entire Lapis Stone room began to reverberate and the air within twenty meters of Han Li began to distort. Soon after, the naked woman revealed herself in a flash of white as she staggered from the attack.

Han Li rejoiced and was inwardly puzzled. The demon fox appeared weaker than common grade seven demon beasts. Was this because the Cadaver Demon had sustained damage before the incarnation took form?

With that in mind, Han Li flicked his hand without any further hesitation, shooting five streaks of azure sword Qi towards her. The meter long streaks of light penetrated through her body in an instant.

Then with a miserable scream, the woman fell to the ground as a puddle of blood began to form around her.

Han Li felt rather stunned at how easy it had been. While he was at a loss, the jade scepter in his hand suddenly grew hot and pulsed with red light as it surrounded his body in a dark-red light barrier.

Immediately after, several silver strands attacked him from a seemingly empty area. The light barriers sudden appearance had managed to just block them just in time.

What!? No!

A man and a womans voice shouted at the same time.

After recovering from his fright, Han Li opened his mouth and spat out an azure streak in the direction from where the silver strings were launched.

A series of alluring, soul-shaking laughs suddenly sounded out as a flash of white light appeared at another place in the room. The naked woman appeared with her chest loosely held in her arms.

Han Lis expression became extremely unsightly, and his gaze turned towards where the young woman had previously fallen. However, there was no longer anything there!

Han Li pursed his dry lips and sullenly said, Illusion technique!

The young woman widely smiled and didnt respond. Instead, her gaze dropped down towards the yellow wolf at his side, and her face revealed a trace of astonishment.

When Han Li saw the young woman reveal this expression, his heart stirred and he glanced at the wolf as well. Afterwards, his attention turned to the jade scepter in his hand and his expression began to waver.

The light barrier blocking the foxs cunning strike wasnt something that he had ordered. Could it be that the artifact spirit had taken the initiative to rescue him? At that moment, the mystery behind the huge silver wolf, the combined form of the red and yellow wolves, was suddenly brought to Han Lis mind as his heart grew heavy.

The young woman twisted her slender waist and thought to say something when the jade scepter in Han Lis hand pulsed before a red wolf emerged before Han Li in a flash of red light. As soon as it appeared, both the red and yellow wolves merged together in a dazzling display.

Han Li was deeply shocked by the scene and tightened his grip on the jade scepter, not daring to make any rash movements.

As he expected, a ring of silver light erupted from the converging yellow and red light, revealing a three-meter-tall silver wolf from within it. The wolf floated in the air as it stared at the demon fox with interest.

Although the naked woman didnt know what the silver wolf was, for some reason she had felt her heart drop as soon as it had appeared, arousing a faint sense of foreboding. Under the stare of the huge wolf, her charming expression unconsciously froze.

It was then that she realized things were far from good for her. With raised brows and a serious expression, she spat out a pink, fragrant mist, concealing her entire body in an instant.

The pink mist quickly spread throughout the air and enveloped most of the room in the blink of an eye. Although Han Li didnt know what purpose this pink mist had, he didnt dare to breath it in. His expression immediately grew stern as he grabbed the spirit beast pouch at his waist.

Regardless of how formidable the demon foxs technique may be, he didnt believe that it would be able endure the attack of the tens of thousands of Gold Devouring Beetles.

But just as Han Li was about the open the spirit beast pouch, the silver wolf had taken action, much to his astonishment.

The silver wolf suddenly opened his mouth and released countless fist-sized spheres of silver light into the mist in a violent torrent. Then with a howl, the wolf charged forward in a streak of silver light.

Han Li was at such a loss that he stopped summoning his Gold Devouring Beetles.

In the next moment, all of the silver spheres that had entered the mist began to burst.

Silver light intertwined with the pink mist, causing the demon fox to shout in furious alarm.

With that, the silver wolf then entered the mist.

What are you doing… Impossible… You… No… As if having seen something unbelievable, the demon fox began to scream out in fright. An instant later, the miserable wails faded away as quickly as they had appeared.

When Han Li heard this, his expression changed as he stared into the mist with narrowed eyes.

Fortunately, the mist began to dissipate from a lack of spiritual power and revealed the previous hidden scene.

Han Lis face distorted at the sight of the demon foxs naked form trembling on the ground. Pink and silver light enveloped different halves of the body with the lights intertwined at the bodys center, continuously releasing sparks as if they were in opposition.

Possession?! Han Li shouted in his bewilderment. The silver light suddenly gained the advantage and slowly encroached on the pink lights territory.

NO! The young woman suddenly wrapped her head in her arms and screamed in pain. Soon after, her body began to tremble as it body began to change in a series of white flashes. A few seconds later, the womans form turned back into that of an exquisite white fox.

By that point, the last remnant of pink light had been consumed by the silver glow and the bodys astonishing cultivation disappeared without a trace. It now only appeared to be the original low grade demon beast.

The white fox sat motionlessly on the ground as if it were completely exhausted, but the silver light enveloping its body only became more radiant.

Han Li tightly held onto the jade scepter in his hand and uncertainty appeared on his face. It was clear that the silver wolf had succeeded in its possession of the body, but he didnt know if he could continue to restrict or order the silver wolf while it was in the foxs body.

A long while later, Han Li released a long sigh. Regardless of how it could be seen, the white fox couldnt pose the slightest resistance with its current cultivation. As such, there was no need to prematurely strike it down. Moreover, regardless of the silver wolfs actions it seemed to bear him no malice.

Of course, Han Li had always wanted to know more about the history behind the silver wolf, but before he could even ask, the artifact spirit had taken action of its own accord. It was clear that the silver wolf had quite a story behind it as he had long since guessed.

As a result, Han Li sunk into deep thought as his expression began to fluctuate. The white foxs silver radiance eventually dimmed and it began to stand up on its four limbs.

As if unsuited to the foxs body, it knelt down after only taking a few steps.

Han Li couldnt help but chuckle at the sight.

Having heard this, the white fox turned its head to Han Li with a trace of irritation clear in its eyes.

He then heard a womans voice, Whats so funny? Ive just possessed this body. It is only natural that Ive yet to adapt to it.

Just as Han Li heard this, his smile froze as he rubbed his nose and muttered, So youre… also a woman?

Recalling the stories about the Cadaver Demons incredibly durable body, Han Li felt slight dejection. According to the rumors, he could only use true fire to slowly burn the corpse or extract the soul and seal it.

The Cadaver Demon clearly wasnt dead. It was merely restrained for the time being by the unknown golden talisman. He reckoned it would take quite a while before the Cadaver Demon would be able to recover its strength.

With that thought, Han Lis gaze fell onto the jade box at the corpse demons side. Since it had suppressed the Cadaver Demon and still hadnt burned to ash, it must be a seal of sorts.

From how closely related the jade box was to the Cadaver Demon and the golden talisman that sealed it, it stands to reason that the box mustve contained the Cadaver Demons soul.

But in that case, why was the the Cadaver Demon able to control its body? It had also managed to nearly deceive Han Li into opening the jade box with its great intelligence. Could it be that the soul extraction was incomplete and that a remnant of the soul remained inside her body?

Also, why did the Cadaver Demon have a jade spirit well in its possession? Did it acquire it after it was trapped?

As Han Li was puzzling over this, he frowned and sank into deep thought.

After a short moment, Han Li bluntly tossed the useless question away and began to look around for a way to leave.

He would need to be at least at the Nascent Soul stage to be able to burn away the Cadaver Demon with true fire. Additionally, it would take several months at the very least. Even if Han Li had the cultivation to do so, he wouldnt waste the time or effort on such a fruitless task.

Hed rather just get as far away from here as possible and have the Cadaver Demon continue to remain in isolation.

As for any unwitting cultivators in the future that wandered in here? That wasnt any of his business.

As for whenever the Cadaver Demon escaped from here, the great sects nearby could deal with it instead.

But in the end, Han Lis gaze fell onto the jade box once more.

After glancing at the jade box with the golden talisman several times, he hesitated for a moment before taking it into his hand. Afterwards, he placed it into his storage pouch with an unchanged expression.

The golden talisman on the jade box had released truly peculiar talisman characters. He planned on giving it a proper examination later on.

As for whether or not he would open the box, that decision would be left for once he finished condensing a Nascent Soul. At that point, he would be completely safe from any harmful spirit it may contain. With the Divine Devilbane Lightning, the Weeping Soul Beast, and a Nascent Soul cultivation, he would have nothing to fear.

Han Li waved the jade scepter in his hand and the light barrier around him suddenly disappeared, revealing the yellow wolf. He intended on having it use the earth movement technique to open a path through the stone room. The Lapis Stone was still stone after all, regardless of how rare and hardy it may be. As such, it should still be affected by the earth movement technique.

With that in mind, Han Li was about to have the wolf press onward when his expression suddenly stirred. He suddenly turned around and looked at the motionless Cadaver Demon.

After tilting his head in thought, he sighed and stepped towards it. He raised the leg of the Cadaver Demon to reveal a pit underneath it. Inside the pit was the Snowcloud Fox that was now staring up at Han Li with pitiful eyes. freewebnove.com

Han Li faintly smiled and muttered, Youre rather intelligent to take refuge here.

With that said, Han Li waved his arm and an azure light reached towards the small fox.

The white fox knew that things were far from good and hastily jumped in an attempt to flee. However, Han Lis azure light was remarkably fast and caught it in midair. The azure light quickly wrapped around the fox, before quickly bringing it into Han Lis grasp.

Han Li grabbed the white fox by its nape and turned around to leave the stone room.

As he walked, he unconsciously muttered, You are quite persistent. Not only did you manage to preserve your life through that, you even managed to survive until now in the company of the Cadaver Demon. Truly inconceivable!

Huh? Thats… inconceivable… Just as Han Li said that, his steps came to a sudden stop as a thought appeared in his mind.

With a greatly changed expression, he suddenly waved his arm and ruthlessly flung the white fox towards the stone wall.

In that instant, a trace of resentment appeared within the demon foxs eyes. Those short and small limbs sharply increased in length, and it swiped its snow-white claws at his chest.

A huge clang shook the room.

In the midst of Han Lis furious alarm, the white silhouette blurred as it was flung towards the wall. Preventing itself from being smashed, the small fox deftly rolled several times in the air and distorted its body to fall down at a corner of the room.

An ice-cold gaze appeared in its eyes, and it stood unscathed as it gazed at Han Li. Its green eyes faintly revealed a trace of disappointment.

Shaken with fear, Han Li glanced at the large hole left behind on his clothes, revealing a sparkle of green light. It was the inner armor that he had looted off of Wen Tianren.

After the Royal Scale Plate had been destroyed, Han Li had decided to replace it with this inner armor instead. Despite not knowing its name, Han Li could tell it wasnt inferior to the Royal Scale Plate in the slightest.

Although the sly and fierce attack had caught Han Li off guard, it was naturally incapable of piercing through an armor that even common magic treasures couldnt harm.

With his calm regained, Han Li stared at the white fox and gloomily asked, Who are you? That morphed attack was something a low grade demon beast isnt capable of. At the same moment, he waved the jade scepter and tried to emit a light barrier around him.

However, he was shocked to discover the jade scepter was completely unresponsive. Han Li bewilderedly glanced at the yellow wolf to discover that it was standing in place without any changes.

Facing a powerful enemy, Han Li couldnt further investigate this and ordered the flying swords above him to form a curtain in front of him.

With the droning flying swords protecting him, Han Li finally felt somewhat more at ease.

In the following moment, Han Li was shocked to hear human words come from the Snowcloud Foxs mouth.

Who am I? Im the one who you just attacked. Dont tell me youve forgotten about me already? The familiar womans voice revealed a trace of mockery as the fox suddenly stood up on its hind legs.

In that moment, the demon beast began to transform before Han Lis eyes.

Within a few breaths time, the white fox grew several times its size and shed the entirety of its fur in an instant. It transformed into a gorgeous young woman with a foxs tail. Han Li pursed his lips and could no longer keep calm. His entire face was filled with astonishment.

This woman appeared exactly the same as the black-clothed woman except for the fact that she was nude. With her ample chest bared, she glanced at Han Li and flirtatiously said, Huh? My demon fox incarnation is not bad at all! However, the depths of her bright eyes didnt contain the slightest warmth.

After Han Li took a deep breath, he recovered his calm and coldly said, That was you? He unconsciously glanced at the stone platform and saw that the corpse demon was completely still.

With his heart relieved, he turned his sights to the newly formed woman.

It would be reasonable to say that any demon beast that could assume human form was grade eight at the very least. However, when he examined the Cadaver Demons white fox incarnation, he saw that it only had the cultivation of a seventh grade demon beast. Han Li felt surprise but not fear.

However, he didnt dare to completely trust the judgement of his spiritual sense. With a solemn expression on his face, he recalled what he had read about high grade demon foxes.

Nearly all demon foxes of this level were able to fully utilize illusion techniques. Many were even capable of toying around with similar grade cultivators without their knowledge. Their gift for concealment was among the best of all demon beasts.

Previously, Han Li had felt somewhat doubtful of those words. He had managed to examine the woman with his immense spiritual sense with ease.

However, since the Cadaver Demon had the ability to transform and retain this cultivation, why wasnt it able to take off the golden talisman of the jade box? Could it be that the demon still feared the golden talisman. Even in that case, with her cultivation, she would be able to kidnap a low grade cultivator and force them to tear it off.

As Han Li began to expressionlessly ponder, he faintly felt that the demon fox wasnt so simple as just the Cadaver Demons incarnation. There was certain to be something hidden deeper.

With that thought, he regained his calm and glanced at the naked young woman before him with a trace of harsh killing intent.

When Han Li saw the young womans reaction, his expression immediately became gloomy and a cold glint appeared in his eyes. He wordlessly raised the box as he approached her.

Although he didnt know why she was so scared of this talisman, he knew she wasnt harboring any good intentions toward him, and he decided to drop any formalities.

The black-clothed young woman had completely lost her mind to fear as he approached and instantly slapped the stone platform beneath her to launch herself away. However, this action activated some sort of restriction. Just as she reached three meters away, red light enveloped her and brought her back to her original position. freeebnovl.cm

At that moment, the jade box flew out of Han Lis grasp and released a series of clear rings as it flew towards the womans head. The golden talisman on the box flourished with radiance and released countless golden talisman characters that slowly floated down towards the young woman.

NO! The black-clothed woman shouted in despair. Her beautiful appearance warped in an instant. She quickly used her sole arm to cover her face and dropped her head down to her chest, desperately trying to keep her face away from the talisman.

As the golden talisman characters finally dropped down to the young womans shoulder, golden light sparked and released a wisp of green smoke.

The young womans body greatly trembled as she released a monstrous wail of anguish. The wail was deafeningly sharp and inhuman, much to Han Lis shock. He unconsciously took several steps back and he felt cold sweat line his palm. In one hand he tightly grabbed onto his spirit beast pouch with the Gold Devouring Beetles and tightly clutched onto the jade scepter with the other as he solemnly stared at the stone platform.

As further talisman characters fell onto the black-clothed young woman, even more green smoke began to surge from her body. After a short moment, the green smoke had enveloped her. Her body could no longer be seen, but the flashes of light and wails never ceased. In a moment, the wails became screeching, in another, they became frantically hoarse. The sudden and unceasing transformations of the monstrous wails were awful to behold.

As Han Li watched in apprehension, he held his breath and pursed his lips. A fishy scent had filled with room as soon as the green smoke appeared. Each breath of it immediately caused him to feel a wave of dizziness and nausea, much to his surprise. The smoke seemed to be extremely poisonous.

Soon after, cracks began to sound out from within the green smoke.

Han Li was startled. Before he realized what those sounds were, he heard a swish of wind.

A dark green claw that was tangled in silver chains suddenly extended from the mist at the speed of lightning and fiercely swiped towards Han Li at the corner of the room. The claw was as flexible as a snake, suddenly bending and reaching out ten meters towards Han Li trying to grab him.

Han Li trembled and his grip tightened on the jade scepter. Just as he thought to execute a technique, the silver chains suddenly restrained the ghostly claws in a storm of sparks, filling the room with a scorched stench.

A painful moan roared from within the smoke and the sharp claw quickly withdrew.

Han Li stared into the mist with tightly shut lips, his expression continuously fluctuating. After some consideration, Han Lis expression grew sullen and he drew back with two additional steps. With the Lapis Stone wall close against his back, he poured a great amount of spiritual energy into the jade scepter, thickening the red-yellow light barrier around his body and causing him to feel somewhat more at ease.

After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, yet another monstrous scream left the mist, and the radiance of the jade boxs golden talisman gradually dimmed. The amount of talisman characters it produced had also started to grow sparse.

With all that he had seen, Han Li mused, It seems the golden talisman is capable of restraining either ghosts or demons, but it has a rather limited amount of spiritual Qi. It will eventually expire and will no longer be able to restrain her.

Fortunately, Han Lis worries were unfounded.

In the following moment, the final scream faded away and the smoke had grown still. However, the golden talismans light had yet to fade away.

Han Li glanced at the golden talisman and didnt immediately approach it. Instead, he waited for a moment more. After the golden light faded away and the jade box fell into the dense smoke, Han Lis expression began to stir.

He waved his arm and put away the spirit beast pouch for the time being. He then formed an incantation seal with the newly freed hand and began to mutter something in a low voice. In the following instant, a red, egg-sized fireball appear in front of him.

After taking a glance at the fireball, Han Li pointed into the smoke and the fireball flew into the green smoke as a streak of red light. He raised his brows and uttered, Explode.

Boom! The smoke was swept up in a gale and was scattered in an instant, only to be replaced with a burnt stench.

As expected, fire attribute techniques were the most effective means of dealing with poisonous Qi.

Han Li stood in place as he felt hot winds blow against him. A strange expression stirred in his eyes as he stared at the stone platform while the smoke cleared away. When he eventually saw what was there, he felt his heart jump and he dryly swallowed as a shiver went down his spine.

There was a human-shaped silhouette on the platform that remained still, and it was unknown whether it was still alive.

Although it could be said to be human-shaped, there was dense green fur covering its body. Additionally, it smelled very much like a rotting corpse.

Although he didnt see what it truly was, it was absolutely not human.

Like its human form, it had only one arm, but this arm was much longer and had pitch-black claws. This was clearly what had attacked Han Li earlier.

What was even more notable were the many chains that wrapped around its body. Not only did they bind its legs and arm, but it also pierced through its chest and back. It had been entirely restrained.

Without much further thought, Han Li pointed to his flying swords and had them pierce into the monster.

As a result, a series of muffled clangs sounded out. The green fur had repelled them without harm.

Han Li wryly smirked, but he didnt feel particularly surprised. Given what heavy restrictions the monster was subjected to, Han Li wouldve been somewhat astonished if that had actually cleaved off its head. It couldnt have possibly been that simple.

Han Li waved to the swords and had them fly back towards him. He then took a few steps forward and lightly flung his sleeve towards the green haired monster. At that moment, an azure mist of light shot out form Han Lis sleeve and gently enveloped the monster, resulting in it dropping to the floor with its true appearance revealed.

With its hair parted, it was revealed to have only skin and bone as if it were a dried up skeleton. Its half open mouth had a pair of inch long fangs emerging from it, making for a frightful appearance.

This is… Han Li glanced at the green fur on the body and took another look at its face. It faintly felt familiar as if he had seen it before in a jade slip.

After lowering his head in contemplation, its name suddenly appeared in his head. He couldnt help but raise his head and frightfully shout, Cadaver Demon! He suddenly recalled the fearsome legends of this vicious spirit from times of antiquity.

Cadaver Demons were a type of Jiangshi. However, it was greatly different from cultivator refined corpses and ordinary Jiangshi that naturally rose from deep within the earth. It only appeared under extremely rare and specific circumstances.

Although no one knew of the method by which this fearsome spirit took form, there were two main conditions that a Cadaver Corpse required to take form.

First, there must be a corpse of a Nascent Soul cultivator at the very least. Corpses of mortals and inferior cultivators werent sufficient for a cadaver demon to form. Secondly, the corpse must have heavenly spirit roots that are either wood or earth attribute. Otherwise, it wouldnt be able to draw support from nature to rise once more.

In addition to this, the cultivator mustve died harboring immense grievances. With the soul unwilling to return to the path of reincarnation, it is retained by the corpse. As time passed by with some other unknown conditions fulfilled, the soul and corpse would fuse together to form the monster known as a Cadaver Demon.

The monster could be said to be half human and half Jiangshi as well as half Jiangshi and half ghost.

Not only did it lack the fatal weakness of sunlight that ghost demons and Jiangshi possessed, but it also possessed most of its memories and techniques from when it was alive. And because it died harboring grievances, this fearsome spirit was undoubtedly bloodthirsty. They were particularly fond of hunting down cultivators and slowly torturing their souls with corpsefire for their amusement as they feasted on them.

It had been ages since the last Cadaver Demon had appeared in the cultivation world.

When Han Li heard this, he faintly blushed.

If its only to deliver a letter, Junior is willing to accept. It was only natural for him to accept such a trivial task, considering the reward.

The young woman seemed rather happy and raised her hand without another word. The box was wrapped in a green light and smoothly flew over to Han Li.

Han Li received the black box and swept his spiritual sense over it. The spiritual Qi within the box was truly abundant as if it really contained a jade spirit well. Of course, given Han Lis cautious nature, he wanted to personally examine what was inside the box.

With a flash of azure light from his hand, the black box opened by itself to reveal a dense, white mist of extremely pure spiritual Qi, flooding the stone room in an instant.

Han Lis heart stirred and he examined the inside of the box with suspicion.

He only saw a gentle white light that emitted from a sparkling white jade stone only several inches long.

Han Li was left startled not by the stone itself, but by the thumb-sized cow inside the transparent stone that was continuously wagging its tail as if it were alive.

When the young woman saw Han Lis shock, a peculiar expression flickered from her bright eyes. She casually smiled and asked, Whats the matter? This jade spirit well had quickly nurtured a treasure incarnation. Common spirit well stones are incomparable to it. If you were to cultivate with this, you would achieve twice the results with half the effort.

After taking another glance at the jade spirit well inside the box, he eventually closed it and calmly raised his head. Right. With this item, Junior would only spend about a dozen years to reach false Nascent stage instead of several tens.

At that moment, Han Li had finally realized that the Jadecloud Fox had been stained by the jade spirit wells spiritual Qi. That was why it had possessed such a faint, pure spiritual Qi. It was quite possible that its transformation into a demon had something to do with the spirit well.

Han Lis regained calm somewhat surprised the young woman. She couldnt help but take another glance at him in her astonishment.

After drawing away a loose hair from her forehead, she casually said with an insipid voice, Alright, since Ive already given this item to you, Ill be giving you the jade slip to deliver as well. There is also another jade box below on the platform I am sitting on. Tear off the talisman that seals it and hand it to me. There is a token in the box that I want you to deliver with it.

You want Junior to take it for you? Han Li revealed suspicion and grew vigilant.

Humph! Still afraid this old woman means you harm? If I could grab it myself, would I ask you to do it? The young woman resentfully smiled and lifted up her long robes with her hand.

Han Lis expression greatly changed upon seeing her legs. They were shriveled like firewood as they were crossed together. There wasnt the slightest flesh apart from some dried up skin. It made for a rather fearsome appearance. But what surprised Han Li even more was the several silver sparkling chains that penetrated her legs that deeply bore into the stone platform..

Han Li pursed his lips and raised his head to look at the young woman. Although his face appeared completely bewildered, he didnt ask anything further. He knew that the woman was certain to offer the explanation.

As a result, the womans face grew icy and she placed her robes back down. She dryly said, I am in this stone mountain for the Lapis Stone. I had a room of it and then I used the two chains to restrict my legs and trap myself here.

You trapped yourself? Han Li was entirely confused by this.

Thats right. My cultivation art is the Underworldly Slaughter Arts. Although the cultivation art is incredibly fast and its might is extraordinary, it has a fatal flaw. Once it is completed, the cultivator will easily lose their human nature and become bloodthirsty. Back then, I had a fateful encounter with this technique and decided to cultivate it despite the advice of others, I had been extremely confident of my exceptionally powerful spiritual sense. After I successively cultivated this technique and entered Nascent Soul stage, I was no longer able to restrain my urge to kill and swept through the cultivation world at the time in a massive storm, resulting in no small number of enemies. As a result, I finally tangled in a battle with several Nascent Soul cultivators, resulting in the loss of my arm.

The young woman expressionlessly glanced at her vacant arm and shook her head.

After receiving this injury, I thought long and hard. If I had no way to control myself then I would die sooner or later. As a result, I steeled my resolve and asked my dear friends to forge the Divine Heavenfire Chains and the room of Lapis Stone to imprison me. Due to fear I wouldnt be able to tolerate the loneliness or would suddenly become regretful, I gave the key to the chains to my best friend. They made a promise that they would come visit me every so often to see whether or not Ive gotten better so that they may release me.

After that was said, the young womans expression grew sullen.

But I didnt expect that after coming only a few times, my good friend would suddenly disappear without a single word. I dont know whether or not they became impatient or if something unexpected happened to them. As such, Ive been imprisoned here until now. Because this room was refined from Lapis Stone, my spiritual sense is only able to reach out about a kilometer, despite having already reached the mid Nascent Soul stage. I wished to call for help, but I lacked any method to. These Divine Heavenfire Chains were refined through a very peculiar method, connecting them to my primal soul. Although my cultivation has greatly increased and I am able to break the chains, I will instantly die from doing so. Now that destiny has had us meet, it seems the Heavens have heard my plea. I no longer have to waste the rest of my life in this stone room.

The black-clothed woman gave a general explanation of her past to dispel Han Lis suspicions.

However, the story left Han Li dumbstruck. If she spoke truly, then her past mustve truly been unfathomable.

After a moment of deliberation, he hesitantly asked, Could it be that Senior wishes for Junior to deliver a letter to your best friend? With so many years having passed, it wouldnt be unlikely for your friend to have passed on!

The young woman sighed and bitterly smiled, Thats right. Even if thats the case, there is no need to be worried. I just ask that you to bring the key for the Divine Heavenfire Chains. We were on good terms. If anything had happened, they shouldve passed it on to their descendants for safekeeping. Itll be the same if you found their descendants instead.

After a moment more of thought, Han Li found this to be reasonable and that there were no gaps in logic. As a result, he stepped forward without speaking any useless words and circled around the stone platform to find a hole.

Han Li carefully probed it with his spiritual sense and he raised his brows. He reached in to find a jade box.

The jade box had an antique style and was a faint yellow with odd flames engraved on it. The silhouette of a person could be seen standing within those flames as if they were roaring towards the Heavens.

There was also a flickering golden talisman on the jade box that faintly emitted an aura that caused Han Li to feel uneasy. He unconsciously frowned. freewbnove.com

The black-clothed woman couldnt help but grow excited and said, Thats the box! Fellow Daoist, tear off the talisman and let me look at it.

Han Li had already placed his hand on the jade case and was about to tear the talisman off. However, when he the young womans voice trembled in uncontainable excitement, Han Li felt an indescribable feeling of dread.

After a moment of hesitation, Han Li withdrew his hand from the box and raised his head instead. Han Lis heart thumped upon seeing her.

Her eyes had changed into a dark green and her appearance had become warped. A fearsome, menacing guise had completely replaced her previously dignified air.

When the young woman saw Han Li raise his head, she was startled and regained her awareness. Her warped appearance and green eyes disappeared in an instant. She said in a relaxed tone, Fellow Daoist, why are you looking at me? Why havent you torn off that talisman? Dont forget, the jade spirit well is a treasure rarely seen in this world and Ive already given it to you. Why are you still hesitating?

Han Li glanced at the black-clothed young woman and looked down at the golden talisman tightly sealing the jade box. Without saying anything further, he narrowed his eyes and slowly walked towards her with the jade box in hand.

Fellow Daoist, what are you going? Stop! Dont come closer! When the woman saw Han Li walking over with the golden talisman still on the jade box, her expression immediately changed and she began to shout with a panicked expression.

Without much effort, Han Li spotted the owner of the voice. About forty meters in front of him, there was a young, black-clothed woman sitting cross-legged on a stone platform.

The woman had a graceful appearance, but her complexion was deathly pale and her luminous eyes seemed to glow with sparkling light. Han Li was shocked to see that one of her sleeves was empty. She was missing an arm.

Before Han Li said anything, the young woman revealed shock upon seeing Han Li release his magic treasures.

The young woman chuckled and her bright eyes stirred. So it turned out that your esteemed self wasnt a Qi Condensation Junior, but a Core Formation cultivator. Your Qi Restraint Technique is truly impressive. It even tricked me for a moment.

As she sat, the Snowcloud Fox was comfortably sitting in her lap and was curiously examining Han Li with an intelligent gaze.

After sweeping his spiritual sense past her, Han Lis heart trembled. So it turned out that this was Seniors hidden cultivation area. I am truly lacking in manners.

She appeared to be rather open and allowed his spiritual sense to easily sweep past her. He wasnt able to discover the slightest spiritual Qi fluctuations. From what he had gathered based on her abilities and tone, this indicated that her cultivation was truly too great, not that she had some sort of cultivation concealing treasure.

Han Li grew greatly vigilant.

As Han Li pondered over how to deal with the situation, the young woman raised her flawless pale hand and caressed the Snowcloud Fox. She leisurely said, It appears that your age is quite young yet youve already reached late Core Formation stage. That is quite exceptional.

Han Li took a deep breath and calmly said, Senior flatters me. Junior was only able to reach this stage through sheer luck. Might I know Seniors esteemed name?

The young woman sighed and said, My name isnt anything special. If I said it, you wouldnt know of it. Let alone you, even this generations Nascent Soul cultivators wouldnt know of it.

When Han Li heard this, he felt a bitter taste in his mouth. Could it be that this young woman was an old eccentric that had remained isolated in her cultivation?

Although Han Lis heart grew cold, he didnt reveal the slightest trace of panic. After all, he now possessed a great number of secret techniques, especially the recently learned Bloodshadow Evasion Technique. With this, Han Li no longer held much fear towards Nascent Soul cultivators. Of course, Han Li knew hed be no match for one in a fight, but he was confident he could escape. However, the aftermath of igniting a large quantity of blood essence would force him to remain in secluded cultivation for many years.

That being said, Han Li had no idea why this mysterious character had hidden herself beneath the three sects. Was it because she had some sort of plot in mind, or was she like himself, only wishing to cultivate in a place with dense spiritual Qi?

Han Li swept his gaze around the stone room and astonishedly discovered that this room inside the mountain was sealed, and lacked any doors or passageways. Additionally, apart from the stone platform that the young woman was sitting on, there wasnt any other furniture. The rooms emptiness gave an extremely icy impression.

Han Li also discovered that the rooms walls were extremely crude, unlike the common clean cuts of a blade. Rather, these uneven surfaces seemed to come from the wanton swings of a huge axe.

As soon as he saw this, a strange expression flickered in his eyes. As if having seen through Han Lis confusion, the young woman suddenly smiled and said, Since Fellow Daoist is puzzled, why not touch the stone walls and dispel your doubts?

When Han Li heard this, his heart stirred. He was truly curious. His recent scan with his spiritual sense discovered nothing strange. The rooms walls appeared no different than ordinary stone. Since Senior has raised the topic, I wont be restraining myself.

He slowly reached his left hand towards the stone wall. But to be careful, Han Li continued to observe the young woman with his spiritual sense, fearing she would launch an attack out of greed. Although she hadnt shown any malice, Han Li had lived through many years of hardship and had grown to become extremely careful.

When Han Li felt the stone wall, he noticed nothing strange. Then after some thought, he extended his finger and had a streak of azure swordlight emerge from the tip of his finger.

Han Li stabbed his finger into the wall and shockingly discovered that the stone wall had completely blocked the attack. All that had resulted was a crackle when the light touched the wall.

Han Li was dumbstruck, but at the same time, a trace of disbelief arose in his mind. His spiritual power surged as he suddenly struck the stone wall with a foot long swordstreak.

As a result, the wall remained completely unharmed without even the slightest scratch.

Han Li remained silent as an odd expression flickered across his face. He then pointed to one of his flying swords and had it strike the wall as an azure streak. Afterwards, it flew back with a clear ring.

The strike had left an inch deep cut but the wall started to slowly smooth itself. After a short moment, the cut had disappeared without a trace.

Han Li gasped in shock and couldnt help but turn his head towards her, asking, What is this? How can it restore itself? Could it be that Senior placed it under the influence of a restriction or spell?

The young woman indifferently said, Spells? Restrictions? You think too highly of me, this is merely Lapis Stone. Also known as Spirit Absorbing Stone, it is an incredibly rare tool refinement material. It is impervious to the spiritual power of magic techniques and treasures, and only great strength can harm it.

Han Li faintly frowned and turned back towards the stone wall. He slowly said, Lapis Stone? This Junior is quite inexperienced and ignorant. I havent heard of such a material before.

The young woman casually explained, Hehe, it is natural for Fellow Daoist to not hear of this material. This material was incredibly rare even during the era of antiquity, and there arent many that presently know of it.

When Han Li heard this, he was flabbergasted. Just as he thought to say something else, the young woman sweetly smiled and interrupted him, Although Fellow Daoists cultivation is nearing the false Nascent stage, your aptitude seems inferior. No, it would be better to say that it is terrible. It seems youve come across fateful encounters to be able to reach this stage of cultivation. Otherwise, your greatest efforts wouldve only taken you to the Foundation Establishment stage. Meeting me could also be considered an act of fate. If you dont find the idea undesirable, this elder has a treasure that I can lend to you.

As soon as Han Li heard her, he revealed a odd expression, Lend this Junior a treasure?

As if seeing through Han Lis suspicions, her expression sunk and she coldly said, Of course, there will be conditions. First, this item will only be lent. You will have to return it. Secondly, after taking the treasure, there is something you must carry out on my behalf as payment for it.

She rummaged through her robes for a moment before taking out a jade box in her hand.

The jade box was pitch-black and only the size of a fist. Its exterior was incredibly rough and crude, but there was a trace of yellow within the black. It seemed to be incredibly old.

Han Li glanced at the young womans face before turning his gaze back to the black case. Still silent, his expression fluctuated for a moment as he pondered for a moment. He then gravely asked, Could Senior first tell this Junior what is inside the box before he decides?

Upon seeing Han Lis hesitation, the black-clothed woman revealed a trace of impatience. With her brow raised, she pointed at the black box and said, Surely you must know what a spirit well is. This box happens to hold a spirit well stone of the highest rank, known as a jade spirit well. At the very least, its spiritual Qi should allow you to further stabilize your cultivation at the false Nascent stage. It will allow you to condense a Nascent Soul with greater ease. This treasure has been with me for many years. If not for my current cultivation and my current inability to further use it, I wouldnt be lending it to you.

With that said, she stroked the black jade box with a reluctant expression.

Jade spirit well! Han Lis expression changed several times. This would cut down the time it would take for him to reach false Nascent stage by two-thirds! He completely swallowed his original words to reject her.

After some hesitation, Han Li sighed and said, Might I ask what Senior would like Junior to do? If you cant do something with your current cultivation, how could I possibly help you?!

The young woman revealed an expression of joy seeing that Han Li was willing to agree. Be at ease! Im not asking you to kill someone. Im only asking you to run errands. Although my cultivation is great, I cannot depart from this room for a certain reason. I only want you to deliver a letter for me.

You only wish for me to deliver a letter? This was completely beyond his expectations.

Of course. Did you really believe that Id have you kill someone? The black-clothed woman covered her smile, revealing an overwhelming allure.

Before Senior Martial Wang and the other two descended, the youth surnamed Ma had already placed his finger on the white foxs nose and angrily cursed, Damn! This thing isnt breathing! Dont tell me that it died for nothing.

With that said, he raised his head to the three and was about to say something more with an angry face.

The three that were descending suddenly had their expressions greatly changed as they shouted, Careful! The demon fox is alive! It was only playing dead!

The three all shouted different words, but their meanings were all the same.

The short and stout youth was rather quick-witted, and his expression abruptly changed upon hearing them. His hand instantly blurred and a white talisman appeared between his fingers. He fiercely slapped the talisman onto the foxs tail.

However, his actions were clearly too slow. As soon as he extended his hand holding the talisman, he felt a sharp pain coming out from the hand that held onto the fox.

He loudly shouted as he unconsciously released his grip. The fox slipped away and rolled onto the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the foxs tail had become erect and its fur became the same as needles. The youths hand was now filled with holes and dripping with blood.

When the other three saw this, they flew towards the small beast in furious alarm.

The white fox wasnt about to easily be captured. It scuttled away and turned into a white streak as it shot forty meters away. With several hops, it fled back into the shrubbery.

In a moment of desperation, Senior Martial Brother Wang and the other two surrounded the bush and released their magic tools as they slowly combed through it.

But after a short moment, the three revealed astonishment. Apart from a pile of stones, there was nothing else in the bushes. The white fox had clearly disappeared without a trace. The three then despondently stood in place.

Kui Huan unconsciously turned his gaze to the sky and shouted in alarm, Yi! Where is Junior Martial Brother Han going? At that moment, the others also discovered that Han Li was quickly flying off into the distance.

Han Lis voice transmission soon arrived at their ear, There is no need for Senior Martial Brothers to be so flustered. That fox slipped away using a vision obscuring technique and dug into the earth. Right now, I am using a magic tool to track it down. Once it comes back up, Ill capture it alive. With that said, Han Li flew off towards the edge of the marsh.

When Senior Martial Brother Wang heard him, he grew delighted and called out to the others before impatiently chasing after Han Li. The other three were close behind him.

As they hurried along their way, Senior Martial Brother Wang turned his head around and asked, Junior Martial Brother Ma, how is your hand?

The short, stout youth was at the very rear. He muttered with a shameful expression, Its still good. Fortunately, the foxs tail didnt have any poison. Its merely a superficial wound. After all, it was his carelessness that had resulted in the foxs escape. Additionally, the issue had been called to attention by someone, causing him to feel quite embarrassed.

Senior Martial Brother Wang forced a smile and said, Thats good. Lets quicken our pace. Although I dont know what kind of magic tool Junior Martial Brother Han is using to track the underground movements of the demon fox, we should hurry after him.

Kui Huan turned around and repeatedly nodded his head in agreement. With an odd tone, he said, Nevertheless, the intelligence of this evolved Snowcloud Fox is truly too much. Even Senior Martial Brother Ma couldnt tell that the beast was playing dead. It was quite a shock.

Grabbing onto his wounded hand, the cultivator surnamed Ma deeply blushed.

Fortunately at that moment, Senior Martial Brother Wang spoke up for him, We cannot blame Junior Martial Brother Ma. Even if I had been the one to check, things mightve ended up the same. Its just that the Snowcloud Fox was too sly.

Having heard that, the youth surnamed Ma shot an appreciative glance at Senior Martial Brother Wang and felt much better.

As the three were talking, the youth surnamed Xi suddenly wore an incredulous gaze and suddenly shouted, Everyone, quickly look! Junior Martial brother Han drilled through the stone wall. Wh-what should we do?

The others glanced ahead in alarm and discovered that the marshs end lie ahead of them. A kilometer ahead of them, there was a mountain so huge that its peak couldnt be seen. There was a cliff that faced them that had its black walls cut through with a sword.

Furthermore, Han Li was nowhere to be found. The four stood in front of the cliff and glanced inside the opening that had been cut with dumbfounded expressions.

Han Li had truly gone inside the mountain.

At that moment, he was holding a jade scepter with a wolfs head that enveloped his body in a faint yellow radiance. There was a meter long yellow wolf in front of him that was opening a path with an earth movement technique.

As the artifact spirit continued forward, the earth parted as if there was nothing there. Han Li followed after the wolf with a pensive appearance on his face.

Underneath the scope of his spiritual sese, Ha Li saw the white fox strive its hardest to continue forward as it blurred a hundred meters beneath him.

With his profound abilities, it was only natural for him to see through the Snowcloud Foxs act. He even saw how the fox took advantage of a stone vein in the shrubbery to slip away.

If this were a common low grade demon beast, Han Li wouldve naturally warned the disciples as a favor. But Han Li was quite surprised to see that when the spirit fox revealed itself, it possessed spiritual Qi fluctuations that felt quite familiar to Han Li.

In his astonishment, he carefully examined it and found that the beast faintly carried the same spiritual Qi fluctuations as the Ninecurl Spirit Ginsengs incarnation, the white rabbit.

Han Li was delighted, believing that he had discovered another incarnation of a spiritual object. But after he examined the white fox once more, he grew somewhat puzzled.

The spiritual Qi fluctuations of the fox were far too small in comparison with the Ninecurl Spirit Ginseng. The difference between them could be said to be as wide as heaven and earth. Moreover, upon deeper inspection, he found that the Snowcloud Fox possessed a true flesh body, not that of a spiritual incarnation. Otherwise, the trifling Obscure Track formation wouldnt have been able to contain it.

Although the small fox wasnt a spiritual incarnation in the end, Han Li was still deeply curious about it. He was certain that this pure spiritual Qi had something to do with how this ordinary beast was able to turn into a demon beast.

Having decided to investigate this fully, he allowed the fox to escape from the Qi Condensation cultivators and slowly followed after it, wishing to investigate the secrets of the fox.

When the fox had arrived in front of the cliff, it had turned into a ball of white light and blurred into the ground without hesitation. As a result, Han Li summoned the earth attribute artifact spirit from the jade scepter and had the wolf silently open a path. Else, if he were to use a flying sword to cut into a mountain, the fox would be scared away.

The mountain was obviously large. Han Li followed the white fox for at least a kilometer before it stopped, appearing inside what seemed to be a stone room.

Han Li rejoiced and hastily ordered the yellow wolf to hurry and clear a path. At the same time, Han Li increased the power of his spiritual sense and began to examine the inside of the room.

However, as soon as his spiritual sense neared the room, it was repelled by a strange force and he was unable to move it any further.

Yi! Han Li shouted out in surprise. His rush came to a stop and he suddenly grew careful.

At that moment, he felt his body grow still and heavy as if it were bearing the weight of Mount Tai itself. He then heard an insipid voice, Since a guest has come, there is no need to be overly cautious. Dont tell me that youre waiting for this elder to invite you in?

Just as this was said, countless yellow lights began to appear around him as a huge force pushed him forward.

Han Li merely saw a flash of light before he found himself inside the stone room. He was greatly alarmed and instantly waved the jade scepter, covering himself in a red-yellow barrier of light. At the same time, he opened his mouth and spat out a dozen streaks of azure light that hurriedly revolved around him outside the barrier.

It was only after this that Han Li could finally feel secure enough to look around.

Han Li was the last to descend into the valley. Seeing that everyone around him had started to take the miasma treatment pills, he couldnt help but smile. With his bodys essence having been purified, any miasma entering his body was cleansed with a single breath.

At that moment, the group was flying straight towards the center of the valley.

That demon fox is extremely clever, and we will only get one chance to capture it. As such, we must find a wide area so that it cannot escape from the formation. There is a flat field free of mud not far ahead of us. We wont have to fear it running away by digging into the mud. From Senior Martial Brother Wangs plans, it seemed he had deliberated much about this matter.

Having followed Senior Martial Brother Wang this long, the others in the group naturally raised no objections. As for Han Li, he merely smiled and remained silent.

A short moment later, the five arrived in a lush, flat field with short shrubbery sparsely scattered about.

Without waiting for Senior Martial Brother Wangs instruction, Kui Huan and the others landed on the field and examined their nearby surroundings.

Following a quick discussion, Kui Huan walked to the center of the field and dug open a small hole. He then carefully took out the Huangjing that he bought from the market and shallowly buried it in the hole so that it slightly emerged from the ground. Afterwards, he sprinkled a bit more dirt on top to make it look a bit more natural. A faint medicinal aroma immediately began to spread out.

Good, that will do. The Snowcloud Fox has a very keen sense of smell. Even if the Huangjing is three feet buried, the Snowcloud Fox will surely smell its aged medicinal scent. Kui Huang stood up and dusted off his hands with satisfaction. He then recalled something and took out a white formation flag. Ah right, Junior Martial Brother, take this. Its an Obscure Track Formation flag.

Han Li nodded his head and calmly received the small flag. At that moment, Senior Martial Brother Wang began to brief the party.

He solemnly said, In a moment, everyone will take up a position on higher ground. When the demon fox appears, well all use the formation flags at the same time and envelope the field in an illusion formation. I am confident that since the Snowcloud Fox only recently turned into a demon beast, it will not be able to flee from the formation.

All the others nodded their heads in agreement before taking off on their flying magic tools. They all motionlessly floated about a hundred-fifty meters in the air with formation flags in their hands. They each used shallow invisibility magic techniques to conceal themselves as they waited.

Since this involved such a large amount of spirit stones, Kui Huan and the others each appeared rather nervous as they unblinkingly stared down below. Even Senior Martial Brother Wang wore a grave expression as he deeply stared.

In contrast, Han Li was the most calm amongst them. He was holding the white formation flag in a single hand as he swept his gaze around. In fact, Han Li had already enveloped the area of a kilometer around them with his spiritual sense. He would be the first to know if any winds blew or any bush shook.

The area became deathly silent as two hours passed by. Kui Huans neck began to ache as he stood on his magic tool from continuously watching down below. His face revealed faint impatience. He glanced at Senior Martial Brother Wang and thought to say something to him, but after some hesitation, he shut his mouth upon further thought. There was nothing to complain about even if they had to wait a while longer. This was all in order to capture the demon fox.

After yet another hour passed by, most of the group began to feel anxious. As for Han Li, his expression began to stir as he stared at a patch of nearby shrubbery.

At that moment, Kui Huan couldnt help but stir. He licked his lips and was about to say something when he heard Han Lis cold voice through a voice transmission, Be careful, the demon fox has already arrived. It is hiding in a bush to the west. Dont scare it away.

The other three also heard Han Lis voice transmission.

In response, all of them glanced at the west bushes in alarm only to discover that nothing strange could be seen. They couldnt help but be skeptical of Han Lis words, but their relaxed attitudes became vigilant once more.

After the time it took to finish a meal, surprise was clear in their eyes as a foot-long, snow-white beast slowly walked out from a bush. It turned its head around with each step and its whiskers occasionally twitched in hopeful anticipation. It was incredibly adorable.

Upon seeing this, the other four grew vigilant and nervously grasped the formation flags in their hands. fгeeebove.cm

The white fox didnt glance up at the five. After seeing that there was nothing strange in its surroundings, it grew slightly more courageous and it began to silently walk in the direction of the Huangjing.

However, when it arrived about thirty meters away from the Huangjing, it suddenly stopped and its small pink nose suddenly sniffed the air. A trace of doubt flickered in its eyes as if it had discovered something.

This scene had caused Senior Martial Wang to lose his calm and he loudly shouted, Now! His formation flag dropped to the ground in a streak of yellow light. When Han Li and the others heard this, they threw down the formation flags without hesitation and each uttered several incantations.

Five different lights began to shine from the flags as soon as they touched the ground. A large expanse of yellow mist then enveloped the field, sealing it from every direction. The Five Elements Obscure Track Formation had taken effect.

When the Snowcloud Fox saw this, it naturally knew that it was trapped. It immediately released several panicked howls and turned into a white blur as it shot into the yellow mist in an attempt to escape.

The group of cultivators appeared somewhat relieved upon seeing this, but they didnt relax just yet. The illusion formation merely changed the direction of the white fox so that it turned in circles and stayed within the formation. The cultivators naturally wished to exhaust the beast first before they set to capturing it.

The group of people beamingly smiled as if this operation was a success. After the small fox ran around inside the yellow mist, it suddenly blurred several times before collapsing to the ground. It no longer stood up.

When the others saw this, they couldnt help but feel frightened and looked at each other in dismay.

Senior Martial Brother Wangs face grew sullen and he calmly said, Do not release the restriction. We will continue to maintain it. Junior Martial Brother Ma, go down and see what is happening. The Obscure Track Formation is only able to trap, it does not cause harm. From the foxs sly nature, it is most likely pretending to be dead.

The others were greatly relieved upon hearing him and the youth surnamed Ma wordlessly descended.

Han Li faintly smirked at the scene and glanced down with a mysterious smile.

The short and stout Senior Martial Brother Ma was rather fast. After a short moment, he had entered the yellow mist and was several steps away from the fox.

He carefully grabbed the white fox tail and boldly shook it several times. The white fox was unresponsive as if it were truly dead.

As a result, the youth surnamed Ma felt slightly panicked and immediately pressed his ear against the beasts chest.

Soon after, Senior Martial Brother Ma flusteredly shouted from within the mist, Senior Martial Brother, quickly come down, the demon foxs body is ice-cold. Perhaps its heart has stopped from fright!

Impossible! Senior Martial Brother Wang couldnt help but change his expression.

Kui Huan nervously said, Senior Martial Brother, lets release the spell formation and take another look. Our spiritual power cannot sustain the restriction for much longer.

The cultivator surnamed Xi remained silent but a trace of worry appeared in his eyes. The demon beast wouldnt be worth much if it were dead.

After a moment of hesitation Senior Marital Brother Wang nodded his head and said, Fine! Well release the spell formation since Junior Martial Brother Ma has already grabbed onto the spirit beast.

When Han Li heard this, he calmly rubbed his chin, but he didnt display the slightest opposition.

Suddenly, the cultivators began to mutter some words and point to the ground, causing four of the flags to shoot back into their hands as streaks of light.

In the instant the yellow mist dissipated, a short and stout youth placed his finger on the small beasts nose as if he were testing something.

The three dropped down with sullen expressions. However, Han Li remained standing in his original position as he glanced at the white fox down below. His face revealed an odd expression.

Kui Huan was delighted upon hearing Han Li agree to help him. After deciding on a time and place for Han Li to meet his group, he happily departed.

On the dawn of the following day, Han Li activated the restrictions on his cave residence and departed from the medicine garden. He then aloofly flew towards the agreed meeting spot on a flying sword magic tool.

It was quite hilarious. He hadnt used flying magic tools ever since he reached Core Formation stage, it had been many years since he had last used one. This made it quite difficult for Han Li to find an unremarkable high grade magic tool in his storage pouches. He was unable to find any magic tools that were inferior to this one.

After flying for a quarter of a hour, Han Li arrived at the spot where he would meet Kui Huan, the top of a relatively tall hill.

Han Li wasnt particularly surprised to see that no one else was here. He had arrived earlier than was arranged.

Han Li casually found a large, clean rock and sat cross-legged on it before meditating and basking in the nearby Heaven-Earth spiritual Qi.

Two hours later when the blazing sun began to appear over the horizon, several black dots slowly flew across the sky towards the hill. Han Li rubbed his nose at their pitifully slow flight and bitterly laughed.

After more time had passed, the group of people finally arrived on the hill at what Han Li considered to be a snails pace.

Junior Martial Brother Han, it is quite considerate of you to have arrived earlier than us. Kui Huan shouted out to Han Li with a beaming smile. His group was currently flying on low grade disc magic tools that the sect distributed to all the disciples in the sect. It was no wonder why they were so slow.

Kui Huan then landed on the hill followed by three other Qi Condensation cultivators. Han Li stood up from the rock and turned his gaze to the other three. It was nothing, I only just arrived. Are these three Senior Martial Brothers the rest of the party?

Hehe, with five people, we can assume the Five Elements Obscure Track Formation. There are many people, but a lack of spirit stones. These three are Senior Martial Brothers Ma, Xi, and Wang. Kui Huan widely smiled as he pointed to the three behind him and gave them a quick introduction.

These three werent particularly old. The oldest amongst them was Senior Martial Brother Wang at the age of thirty-five. This man had a confident and scholarly appearance and possessed the highest cultivation among the four, at the eleventh layer of Qi Condensation.

As for the two other youths, one was short and stout while the other had a yellowish face. They appeared to be in their late twenties and both possessed a cultivation at the tenth layer of Qi Condensation.

Senior Martial Brother Wang seemed to possess an unordinary bearing. As soon he was introduced, he widely smiled at Han Li and said, Weve already heard about Junior Martial Brother Han. We owe much thanks for your help. If not for you, we wouldve had no means to capture the demon fox. His eloquent words left quite an impression.

The other two also glanced at Han Li with kind expressions. It seemed theyd gained a rather favorable impression towards Han Li after lending them the spirit stones.

Han Li naturally denied this out of politeness, Senior Martial Brother is too kind. I merely wished to make more spirit stones.

The white-robed cultivator surnamed Wang shook his head and sincerely said, While these spirit stones cant be considered much to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, to us Qi Condensation disciples, they arent such a paltry sum that can be easily lent to a stranger. Junior Martial Brother Han is truly someone that Id like to be friends with!

When Han Li heard this, he inwardly nodded and couldnt help but re-examine this man. Senior Martial Brother Wangs presence, conduct, and cultivation were all exceptional. He was obviously the leader of this group.

As a result, Han Li smiled and thought to say something else when Kui Huan looked to the sky and suddenly reminded, Senior Martial Brother Wang, Junior Martial Brother Han, we can talk along the way. If we delay, well reach Greentrack Marsh without much time to catch the Snowcloud Fox. After all, we cant be away from the sect for too long, and our speed isnt fast.

Senior Martial Brother Wang nodded his head and said, Junior Martial Brother Kui makes sense. We truly have no time to waste so lets go. If we have an opportunity in the future, lets have a proper chat.

The group of five then immediately released their magic tools and took to the skies.

Yi! Junior Martial Brother Han uses a magic tool that he bought himself. It must be a mid grade magic tool at the very least. Could it be that Junior Martial Brother Han is actually a disciple of a clan? When the several people took to the skies, they caught sight of Han Lis flying sword and couldnt help but shout in surprise.

After all, even if it was a mid grade magic tool, it represented a hefty amount of spirit stones to external affair disciples such as themselves.

When Senior Martial Brother Wang saw this, his face revealed a trace of astonishment. Although he didnt say anything, a strange expression flickered across his eyes. The other cultivators also appeared quite flabbergasted.

Having guessed that this would eventually happen, Han Li faintly smiled and said, How could I possibly come from a clan? Its just that many years earlier during my time as a vagrant cultivator, I made a few spirit stones by using my shallow skill in refining talismans. Were it not for this, I wouldnt have been able to afford to so magnanimously lend Senior Martial Brother Kui so many spirit stones.

Their shock soon turned into that of envy instead.

The short and stout Senior Martial Brother Ma wore an expression of shock and curiously asked, Talisman refinement? I didnt expect that Junior Martial Brother Han possessed such skill. Since you were able to earn spirit stones, your skill in talisman refinement must be quite acceptable. What grade of talisman can you refine?

Han Li indifferently answered, I mostly refine low-elementary grade talismans. While there are two mid-elementary grade talismans I can refine, their success rate is rather poor.

Junior Martial Brother Han can actually refine mid grade talismans? Senior Martial Brother Wang was greatly moved and couldnt help but take another glance at Han Li.

Han Li calmly said, Thats right. I can refine the Thunderfire Talisman and the Guardian Talisman. Unfortunately, I only succeed once in every six attempts. It is barely enough to cover the costs of the materials.

Senior Martial Brother Wang sighed and regretfully said, Junior Martial Brother Han is far too modest. From what I know, only a minority of external affair disciples of the talisman centric Fire Cloud Mountain are able to refine mid grade talismans. If Junior Martial Brother Han were to rely on this trade, he would be able to acquire an endless amount of spirit stones. Unlike us, who have to wrack our brains everyday for a method to acquire spirit stones.

When the others heard this, their expressions turned dim. His words clearly touched a sore spot.

You Senior Martial Brothers value me too highly. Its not like I can refine any high grade talismans. I would have to spend an entire day inside a market and peddle low grade talismans, not knowing when or even if they will be bought. As such, it isnt much like you think at all. But from my point of view, your business of capturing Snowcloud Foxes is quite impressive. Han Lis eyes stirred as he changed the topic.

Having heard this, Kui Huans group glanced at each other and soon bitterly smiled. Senior Martial Brother Wang eventually said, Junior Martial Brother Han might not know this, but this shady business isnt sustainable. We wont be coming back to Greentrack Marsh after we capture this demon fox.

Why is that? Han Li asked in astonishment.

Kui Huan explained, One reason is that weve nearly captured all of the Snowcloud Foxes in the marsh. It is too difficult to find the remaining ones. The second reason is because the Snowcloud Foxes arent selling anymore. After all, common Snowcloud Foxes arent true demon beasts, and there are far too few female disciples that are willing to purchase one. Senior Martial Sisters with superior cultivations are looking to find a demon beast to become their spirit beast.

So its like that. It seems you Senior Martial Brothers will have to find another way in the future. A trace of sympathy was revealed from Han Lis eyes.

When Senior Martial Brother Wang heard this, he shook his head and said little more.

As a result, the five flew out of the range of the Drifting Cloud Sects restrictions and headed straight towards the center of the Dreamcloud Mountains.

Junior Martial Brother Han, the Greentrack Marsh is a rather neat place. It is located right on the border of the Ancient Sword Sect and our Drifting Cloud Sect. But because this place is somewhat remote and has been plagued by miasma for years, very few disciples ever venture there. As a result, we were able to monopolize the business of capturing the Snowcloud Foxes.

This is a bottle of medicine pills for dispelling the miasma. After we arrive. Junior Martial Brother must take it every so often. Otherwise, you will be constantly vomiting and be plagued with diarrhea. Along the way, Senior Martial Brother Wang suddenly handed over a small jade bottle to Han Li.

Many thanks for Senior Martial Brothers consideration. Han Li bluntly took the bottle and placed it within his storage pouch. But with his current cultivation, he had nothing to fear from miasma. Who knew if he would actually use the medicine.

After flying for about six hours, they arrived at a tall mountain range. Their eyes suddenly brightened upon seeing a large expanse of verdant valley with trees and shrubbery of all kinds. However, a faint pink fog could be seen amongst the greenery.

Were here. Be careful when you descend! Senior Martial Brother Wang gave a quick warning before landing his magic tool and showing the way through the miasma.

As Han Li was examining the young mans appearance, the young man chuckled and walked into the medicine garden. He enthusiastically said, So Junior Martial Brother is a disciple of Dayspring Mountain. Your face is quite unfamiliar. Could you be a new disciple? In that case, I could genuinely be considered your Senior Martial Brother.

My surname is Han. I entered the sect earlier this year. Senior Martial Brother must be a brilliant disciple of Hidden Sword Mountain! Han Li withdrew his gaze and smiled.

So its Junior Martial Brother Han. I am Hidden Sword Mountains Kui Huan. I take care of a nearby spirit beast field along with several other Senior Martial brothers. Junior Martial Brother should pay a visit if he finds an opportunity. Although my cultivation isnt very high, Ive been at the sect for eight years and know many of the matters in the Drifting Cloud Sect along with the various disciples of the six mountains. If there is anything you feel unsure of, please dont hesitate to ask me. The man had spoken elegantly the entire way through.

Han Li faintly smiled. The eloquent man reminded him of Little Abacus from all those years ago at the Seven Mysteries Sect. He was also eloquent, smooth at establishing relations, and proclaimed himself to be greatly knowledgeable. They were clearly the same kind of person.

While Han Li did find this humorous, he didnt mean any ill will towards him. He crossed his arms and blinked, asking, Many thanks for your kindness. However, may I ask if Brother Kui has any urgent matters for coming here?

Kui Huan revealed slight embarrassment and hesitated for a moment. He then rubbed the back of his head and said, It cant be said to be an important matter. I merely came to ask Senior Martial Sister Yuan for some help. I just didnt think that the caretaker of the garden for six years would suddenly leave. This has left me in a bit of a difficult situation.

You want help? Han Li frowned and revealed a trace of doubt.

It isnt anything much. Surely Junior Martial Brother knows that since us external affair disciples have inferior aptitudes, we arent particularly valued. The sects magic tools and medicine pills naturally wont fall into our hands. A years worth of hard earned spirit stones isnt even enough to buy a few cultivation progression medicine pills. As such, I along with many other martial brothers go to the nearby Greentrack Marsh and capture a few small rare animals to sell at the market. These Snowcloud Foxes arent demon beasts, but their petite physique, adorable appearance, and human-like intelligence makes them in high demand with female disciples of the sect. That is why my martial brothers and I struggle to capture a lot of them.

Not long ago, we discovered a strange Snowcloud Fox that had a faint trace of spiritual Qi on it as if it had transformed into a low grade demon beast. This was naturally a cause for joy. If we could capture it alive, it would net over a hundred spirit stones, a rarely seen sum. Unfortunately, we were far too impatient and didnt think things through, allowing the fox to escape. Now, the demon beast has already fled deep into the marsh and is difficult to spot. Although weve searched through a majority of the marsh and have occasionally spotted it, it wouldnt allow us to come any closer. It would simply flee deeper inside. With that said, Kui Huan revealed a trace of regret.

When he saw that Han Li wore a pensive expression, he paused for a moment before continuing, We later left a few people to watch over it for a time and discovered that this strange Snowcloud Fox is fond of eating Huangjing 1, especially Huangjing that is over ten years old. We reckon that if we wished to lure the beast, we would need Huangjing that is at least fifty years old before it would fall into our trap. Junior Martial Brother should know that any medicinal herb that is several tens of years old isnt something that can be bought with a few spirit stones. It would require more than a couple dozen! freewenovel.cm

While we did have a few savings, we already pooled them together earlier to buy cultivation medicine. We dont have any spirit stones leftover. Helpless, I could only think of Senior Martial Sister Yuans medicine garden. It seems there should be two or three stalks of Huangjing that are at that age. Thats why I paid a visit, but I didnt expect that she would be swapped with Junior Martial Brother Han. D-do you think you could spare a stalk of Huangjing for us to use? When Kui Huan asked his question, his voice grew softer and he somewhat stammered.

It seemed he also knew that his request was somewhat excessive.

After that was said, Han Lis face remained unfathomable. After a short moment of silence, he said, I do have two stalks of Huangjing that are over fifty years old which are according to your specifications.

While it stands to reason that since this is the first time Senior Martial Brother Kui has come to seek help, I shouldnt refuse you as your Junior Martial Brother. However, Senior Martial Brother Kui should realize I do not have the authority to give out the spirit herbs in this garden. If it were lacking something or if it were to disappear, I wouldnt have anything to say when Martial Aunt asks for them. I fear I would be punished. That is why I cannot help you.

Han Lis words were quite calm, but the yellow-robed man couldnt help but reveal disappointment.

Junior Martial Brother, please be at ease. I am only going to borrow this spirit herb for several days. When the time comes, I will be certain to return it to you with thanks. We will also be extremely careful as we transport the spiritual herb so that there will be no mistakes. Of course, us Senior Martial Brothers wont have you lend the spirit herb for nothing. After this succeeds, well be certain to give you a few spirit stones. We wont have you suffer a loss.

I am sorry! This matter is quite important. I cannot allow you to use this medicinal herb. However, if you are lacking in spirit stones, I do have some saved up. I can lend a few to Senior Martial Brother so you can buy a herb instead. After giving a staunch refusal, Han Li proposed an alternative with a smile.

The yellow-robed mans unsightly expression quickly brightened, Is Junior Martial Brother serious? If you can lend us spirit stones, it is natural that I wont need the spiritual herbs of your garden. However, a medicinal herb of that age will cost at least thirty spirit stones. Does Junior Martial Brother truly have that much? His delighted expression soon revealed a trace of doubt. After all, this was by no means a small amount to a Qi Condensation cultivator.

Han Li slowly said, These spirit stones were saved up before I joined the sect and Ive yet to use them. Ill lend them to Senior Martial Brother for now! If these spirit stones could be turned into more, I wouldnt want to miss such a rare opportunity.

Hehe, so it turned out that Junior Martial Brother Han is an expert in conducting business. Please dont worry about it, Junior Martial Brother. With the Huangjing, that Snowcloud Fox is practically ours. Kui Huan couldnt help but grin upon finding Han Li had spoken truthfully.

Han Li smiled and grabbed his storage pouch. He then handed over thirty various colored spirit stones to the young man without any reservations.

Kui Huan received the spirit stones with delight and pledged that they would succeed without problem. With only a bit of idle conversation afterwards, he took his leave with his mind occupied.

As Han Li glanced at the departing young man, his smile faded away and he shook his head. He naturally didnt place the pledge to bring back the spirit stones in any regard. He merely didnt wish to offend anyone after having just arrived at the Drifting Cloud Sect.

Han Li planned on staying at the Drifting Cloud Sect for quite a while. Being acquainted with a well-connected individual such as Kui Huan could prove to be very useful.

With that thought, Han Li reactivated the medicine gardens restrictions and returned back to the the small stone mountain to continue his cultivation.

…

Three days later, Han Li was silently standing in front of an embarrassed Kui Huan.

He wasnt there to return the spirit stones, but rather to request Han Lis help to capture the Snowcloud Fox.

Han Li pursed his lips and doubtfully asked, You dont have enough people to capture a low grade demon beast?

Kui Huan chuckled and said, Junior Martial Brother doesnt know how sly this Snowcloud Fox is, nor does he know how fast it is. Even common flying magic tools are unable to chase it down. We were originally going to have an inner sect Senior Martial Brother lend us a set of Obscure Track Formation tools to deal with the fox, but this Senior Martial Brother was unexpectedly assigned to a task yesterday and is no longer present in the sect. As such, we are lacking a member to use the formation. It would cost us quite a few more spirit stones in order to replace him as there arent any others that would be willing. Thats why I came to request Junior Martial Brother to assist us. Naturally, we will give Junior Martial Brother a larger share of the spirit stones when we succeed.

When Han Li heard this, he stroked his chin and pondered for a moment. Had Kui Huan come to request his assistance any other time, he wouldve bluntly refused, there wouldve been no way he would wasted his time over such a trivial affair. But a few days before as he was cultivating the fourth layer of the Great Development Technique in seclusion, he felt his nerves grow restless and had no luck regaining his tranquil temperament ever since.

It seemed this was a sign that he had reached a bottleneck for the Great Development Technique. As such, this may prove to be a good opportunity as bottlenecks are broken through by chance encounters. Perhaps going out would do something for it.

Having thought that, Han Li nodded and said, Since Senior Martial Brother Kui has spoken as such, I will assist you. I am quite curious where this Greentrack Marsh is. Han Li then lazily smiled.

1 In English, this herb is known as Polygonatum sibiricum or as Solomons Seal.
