?Chapter 862: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 859 Feeding the Elixir Chapter 862: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 859 Feeding the Elixir Upon hearing Lu Luo’s words, Senior Martial Brother Cheng was also startled and hurriedly scanned with his Divine Sense.
He discovered that Han Li had a concealed aura and a glowing inner protection, clearly indicating that he had advanced to the mid Nascent Soul Stage.
This left him stunned.
“I just knew that both Senior Brothers, with your insightful eyes, would soon notice.
Junior Brother indeed had an opportunity in Devilfall Valley, and only after much arduous cultivation did I advance.
To advance to the mid Nascent Soul Stage so quickly was something even I didn’t anticipate.
However, if I hadn’t known that Wan’er was under the care of two Senior Brothers and that there wouldn’t be any major complications, I would’ve been in great anxiety.
How could I have focused on cultivating?
For this, I owe a great deal to both Senior Brothers,” Han Li said solemnly as he clasped his fists in gratitude.
“What Junior Brother mentions is out of modesty!
Since Sister Nangong has acknowledged me as her eldest brother, protecting her is only natural.
Moreover, when speaking of protection, I, as an elder brother, have not been of any real help; I could only let the younger sister be trapped in ice.
I feel quite ashamed!” Senior Martial Brother Cheng managed to recover from the shock of Han Li’s advancement and hurriedly responded with humility.
“Junior Brother has advanced to the mid Nascent Soul Stage within less than three hundred years of age; talking about it could probably shock the entire Tian Luo.

Looking ahead, not to mention the late Nascent Soul stage, even advancing to the Divinity Transformation Stage seems very likely for Junior Brother!” Lu Luo couldn’t help but exclaim, his words filled with envy.
With Han Li’s terrifying advancement rate, in the history of Tian Luo’s realm of immortal cultivators, perhaps only a few could match him.
Such cultivation speed is no longer solely linked to one’s natural aptitude.
It’s largely dependent on personal fate and opportunity, something one can’t forcefully obtain.
Naturally, Han Li humbled himself with a few words and then deliberately changed the subject, inquiring about the events that took place in the Devilfall Valley after his disappearance.
Receiving information from those who had personally witnessed the great battle was far more accurate than hearsay from others.
The elder couldn’t help but smile bitterly upon hearing Han Li’s question.
It turns out that after Han Li was swallowed up by a tear in space on that day, another ancient devil went into an unparalleled rage.
Just when the elder feared for his life, other cultivators arrived just in time.
Even the cultivators who arrived first and joined forces with Wei Wuya struggled to subdue the other ancient devil that had transformed into a two-headed, four-armed being.
Soon, they found themselves in grave danger.
At a critical moment, a group from the Moulan arrived.
With the combined forces, they managed to trap the devil.
After a great battle and with the assistance of the Moulan Holy Bird summoned by a Moulan female surnamed Le, the demon was seriously injured; even the Moulan Divine Sage managed to sever one of its heads.
However, the ancient devil managed to escape.
In this battle, several Nascent Soul cultivators fell, and even one of Nangong Wan’s senior sisters was directly hit by a burst of Devil Flame during the devil’s final frenzy, her Nascent Soul turning to ash.
Venerable Ancestor Ling Hu fared slightly better, but his body was destroyed, and only his Nascent Soul narrowly escaped.
The unluckiest were the cultivators from the Ghost Spirit Sect.
Elder Zhong was directly plundered of his Nascent Soul by the ancient devil and swallowed.
The total loss of high-grade cultivators from the Ghost Spirit Sect who entered the valley was nothing if not stunning.
The events that followed were more or less the same as what Huang Yuanming had told.
They initially thought that this devil, like the records suggested, would not be able to exist in the human world for long.
These people did not venture out of the valley to pursue the devil.
However, unexpectedly, the devil found some way to stay, showing no signs of returning to the Otherworld.
Instead, it began a massacre throughout Tian Luo, devouring the Nascent Souls of cultivators and ultimately inciting fury and a vast encirclement.
Upon hearing this, Han Li frowned and asked:
“Regarding the great battle to suppress that demon, I have heard some external rumors.
They say all sorts of things, but two high-level cultivators and a Moulan Divine Sage actually took action simultaneously.
Couldn’t they kill the demon on the spot?
With the identity of the two Senior Martial Brothers, you should know the real outcome, right?” As Han Li said this, his expression turned grave.
Thinking back on the ferocity of that ancient devil, he still felt waves of fear.
“The battle to suppress that demon, the two of us did not participate.
However, according to the information filtered through our alliance, that ancient devil indeed suffered fatal injuries.
But it managed to escape the encirclement using a peculiar secret technique.
Nevertheless, Master Sunreach and others kept chasing relentlessly, determined to eradicate the evil.
The chase even reached the edges of the Moulan Prairies.
Due to the concern over the cultivators from the Soaring Tribes, they had to give up the pursuit.
But so many years have passed.
This ancient devil has not reappeared in Tian Luo, and the situation on the side of the Soaring Tribes is also calm; it seems that the demon either truly died from its serious injuries or crossed the Moulan Prairies to the Great Jin,” the elder explained to Han Li in detail.
“Going to the Great Jin?” Upon hearing this, Han Li couldn’t help but change his expression slightly, but soon returned to normal.
Senior Martial Brother Cheng and Lu Luo naturally noticed that Han Li had some things he did not wish to discuss.
However, both tactfully chose not to pry further.
After all, Han Li’s Divine Skills and realm were far beyond their reach, and now they felt a certain awe when facing Han Li.
Han Li chatted briefly with the two about other matters before finally revealing that he had found the right medicine in Devilfall Valley and needed to first go and try to remove the poison curse on Nangong Wan.
Upon hearing this, the two were not too pleased, as if Nangong Wan could also recover as normal, it would naturally enhance the strength of the Drifting Cloud Sect.
They quickly lost the desire to chat further and immediately accompanied Han Li to personally go to the forbidden area.
At the entrance of the forbidden area, the two brothers consciously stopped, saying they would personally guard the place so that Han Li could confidently go and remove the curse.
Han Li was not polite; he thanked them and walked in alone.
Soon after, his figure appeared in front of the stone room.
He looked at the restrictive formations outside the stone door, which seemed untouched since his last departure.
It appeared that Senior Martial Brother Cheng and the other had merely used their Divine Sense to check on Nangong Wan’s condition and had not broken the seal to enter.
This made Han Li very satisfied with the two’s actions.
With hand incantations executed, several incantations struck out, and after a few flashes of spiritual light from the stone door, it opened with a dull sound.
Han Li’s eyes flickered, and he walked in silently.
The stone door closed again.
Inside the secret chamber, everything was as it was before; the ceiling, inlaid with moon light stones, didn’t feel the slightest bit dim.
Furthermore, because of the restrictive formations, the room was as clean as ever, spotless.
The ice wall flickered with a faint spiritual light, and Nangong Wan, still sealed within it in the form of a young girl, had her eyes tightly closed and her face slightly pale.
A trace of pity flashed across Han Li’s face.
He walked a few steps to within a meter of the ice wall and stopped.
Gazing at Nangong Wan’s pale face, Han Li’s eyes were filled with a complex expression!
Standing in place, staring at the ice-sealed Nangong Wan, Han Li after a long while sighed deeply.
Moraina patted her storage pouch at her waist, and a jade box appeared in her hand out of thin air.
Holding the jade box in one hand, she gently flicked the lid with the palm of her other hand.
The lid immediately popped open, revealing a thumb-sized red sphere, which was the Demon Core of the Ancient Flame Toad.
In the spotless jade box, the Demon Core flickered dimly then brightly, exuding a mysterious and dazzling red light.
Narrowing his eyes, Han Li carefully observed the Demon Core for a while, then suddenly opened his mouth.
A clump of misty Spiritual Energy swept up the Demon Core and carried it towards the ice wall.
A low chant of spell incantation was heard, and an incantation was cast upon the ice wall.
With a flash of blue light from the ice wall, the Demon Core, as if it was nothing, merged into the thick ice, flying toward Nangong Wan’s lips.
With a composed motion, Han Li pointed at Nangong Wan, and her lips parted halfway open like a puppet’s.
Seizing the opportunity, the Demon Core instantly flew into her mouth.
Nangong Wan’s pale, bloodless face was instantly covered with a faint red glow, but her eyes, covered by long lashes, remained tightly shut without a hint of awakening.
Han Li sighed, knowing that this matter could not be rushed; even if the Demon Core was effective, it wouldn’t undo the Soul Seal Curse in just a few days.
Yet, Han Li did not leave right away; he just quietly stood in front of the ice wall, silently gazing at Nangong Wan.
For some reason, the scene of their first meeting flashed through his mind.
Time slowly passed.
Han Li’s figure remained motionless in front of the ice wall…
Half a day later, Han Li calmly walked out of the secret chamber door, reactivated the restrictive formations, and retraced his original path.
Senior Martial Brother Cheng and Lu Luo were still guarding outside the forbidden area, and naturally, they asked Han Li about the situation with concern upon seeing him emerge.
With a forced smile, Han Li only mentioned that they would need to observe for a few more days to know if the Soul Seal Curse could truly be removed.
Since Han Li was also tired from traveling continuously, he did not continue chatting with them and took his leave to return to his cave dwelling.
After all, there was plenty of time to discuss things slowly in the days to come.
Then, transforming into a streak of blue rainbow, Han Li headed straight toward Mother-Child Peak.
From the previous conversation, he knew that although he had disappeared for over twenty years, his cave dwelling, under the strict orders of the elder and Lu Luo, had still been maintained as if new.
And as his concubine, Mu Peiling had been living in the smaller mountains all along, with the two elders taking good care of her.
Now, this woman had reached the False Core Stage and could begin attempting Core Formation in just a year.
This was an unexpected pleasant surprise.
Upon hearing this, Han Li’s heart stirred, and he naturally thought of the Phoenix Subversion Cultivation Art.
Knowing that he had quite a few panaceas that could increase the success rate of Core Formation, and since this woman’s talents were among the best, as long as he truly exerted full effort to assist her in forming her core, she had at least a seventy percent chance of successfully forming her core without complications.
Unexpectedly, another opportunity had arisen in Devilfall Valley, and before the woman could attempt forming her core, he had already broken through this bottleneck.
This situation was indeed different from his original plan.
However, it didn’t matter, for the dual cultivation method of the Phoenix Subversion Cultivation Art was similarly useful for breakthroughs in the late Nascent Soul stage.
Of course, cultivating this art would definitely require deeper mastery.
The woman would also need to be at the late Core Formation stage for it to be of any use.
Originally, he had planned for this woman to cultivate this art for decades, allowing him to utilize her Primordial Yin Body at his discretion, but now, that idea had to change.
Under normal circumstances, it might take him two to three hundred years to cultivate to the peak of the mid Nascent Soul stage.
For such a long time, getting this woman to continue cultivating the Phoenix Subversion Cultivation Art would really require some nurturing since it’s not a top-tier technique.
Without medicinal pills, it would be difficult for this woman to cultivate to the late Core Formation realm in a short time.
Considering this, Han Li thought as he soon arrived in front of Mother-Child Peak.
Looking at the sea of fog restriction in front of the peak, Han Li smiled faintly.
With a sweep of his sleeves, a thick fog spontaneously split open a path.
Unhurried, he flew toward the main peak.
