?Chapter 920: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 917 Twin Pearls Chapter 920: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 917 Twin Pearls Han Li’s thoughts were swift as lightning, and a hint of contemplation appeared on his face.


    “You need not find it strange!


    I won’t hide it from you, this Heavenly Corpse Pearl is indeed one as well, but it is not the one I cultivated with.


    It was another Corpse Bead I incidentally acquired when I obtained the Heavenly Corpse Great Method many years ago; it has no relation to me.


    The Heavenly Corpse Pearl critical to me, how would I carry it on my person?


    It is still properly stored in my tomb,” explained King Xuan Ye, who upon seeing the situation, hesitated for a moment and then strangely began to take the initiative to clarify.


    “So it is!


    Since that’s the case, I will unceremoniously accept this…


    It seems your men have also arrived, Han Li will take his leave first,” Han Li revealed a moment of realization, nodded, and just as he was about to ask something else, his expression suddenly changed.


    He looked up towards the distant horizon and unexpectedly uttered his farewells.


    Old Devil Zenith Yin was taken aback, and before he could say anything, Han Li’s body flickered with green light, suddenly transforming into a green rainbow that tore through the sky and left.


    Old Devil Zenith Yin watched Han Li’s departing figure, his expression changing uncertainly and somewhat dubious about Han Li’s words.


    But moments later, from the direction of the ancient tomb, came bursts of ghostly wails followed by boundless green clouds rolling in, filled with an overpowering stench of decay.


    King Xuan Ye saw this and was immediately overjoyed.

    Even if Sage Sandstorm and the others were to return, he would no longer fear them.


    He leaped into the air, transforming into a beam of grey light, and directly greeted them.


    …


    At this time, Han Li didn’t dare to delay.


    Using the limited time left before the energy seals were reinstated, he fled as fast as lightning.


    He needed to shake off King Xuan Ye and the large, yellow-robed man who had left earlier.


    Otherwise, once his mana was sealed again, facing these individuals would bring serious trouble.


    With Han Li exerting his full mana, his escape speed was extraordinary.


    Before his mana could be sealed again, he changed directions several times and miraculously managed to flee tens of thousands of miles away, leaving the mountainous region behind.


    Han Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    After briefly recognizing the direction, he calmly controlled his magic artifact to travel far away from the mountains.


    Two days later, Han Li landed at the base of a deserted hill.


    He then released several magic artifacts and carved out a simple cave abode at the foot of the mountain.


    Immediately after, he used a set of formation establishment tools to conceal the cave entrance.


    Han Li himself entered the cave’s secret chamber and sat down cross-legged.


    “You intend to comprehend the King Ming Art here?” Monarch Great Development, who had allowed Han Li to act freely all along and had not interjected even once, finally couldn’t help but ask.


    “What’s wrong, is this place not suitable?” Han Li replied noncommittally.


    “Hmph!


    There’s not even a spirit vein here.


    If you cultivate at this pace, this old man’s soul would have long dissipated,” Monarch Great Development said irritably.


    “Hehe!


    Senior, don’t be angry.


    I was only joking just now.


    I have already pondered over the King Ming Art during my travels.


    The first layer of incantations is manageable and does not require too much spiritual energy.


    I estimate that it will only take about a year to refine.


    But starting from the second layer, the difficulty of cultivation increases significantly.


    The cultivation method requires a great deal of spiritual power and must be performed in locations with spirit veins; otherwise, the time spent would far exceed expectations.


    To counteract the backlash of Evil Qi, I must refine the first two layers of the King Ming Art, which will barely allow me to convert the Evil Qi for my use,” Han Li said with a light chuckle, seeming to be in quite a good mood.


    “However, while there are many spirit vein locations in Great Jin, there is not one without a master.


    Even the poorest spirit vein would definitely be claimed by someone.


    Since I plan to quickly restore my mana, I cannot look for a poor spirit vein to cultivate, it would be best to infiltrate a large sect again and quietly cultivate the incantations.”


    “From your tone, it seems you already have a plan,” Monarch Great Development grew curious.


    “You’re right, I indeed have a target in mind.


    And I don’t even need to bother with fabricating an identity,” Han Li said confidently.


    “Oh!


    If there’s such a good opportunity, feel free to share it,” Monarch Great Development became even more surprised.


    “It’s quite simple.


    Do you remember the land deeds I obtained at the Feng’s Hideout?


    Mixed in with them was another document that recorded a few of the Feng Family’s secrets.


    It just so happened to include a backup plan prepared many years ago by the head of the Feng Family for their offspring – an identity completely unrelated to the Feng Family, that of a wealthy merchant household in South Bay Province.


    And indeed, such a merchant exists, operating more than a dozen well-known shops.


    However, this person was nothing but a covert agent cultivated in secret by the Feng Family, a front they put forth.


    The real power and the deeds to the shops were still in the hands of the Feng Family.


    Now that the Feng Family is entirely wiped out, the wealthy merchant is still alive.


    With him as cover, becoming affiliated with one of the large sects in South Bay Province shouldn’t be a problem.


    As long as I can dispel the Evil Qi and recover most of my Qi after two or three years, I’ll be able to peacefully search for materials.” Han Li spoke without intent to conceal, explaining everything one by one.


    “What a story!


    That’s actually a pretty good idea.


    But now you’re staying here; what’s your intention?


    Are you planning to cultivate the first layer of the Oracular Formula first?” Monarch Great Development pondered and felt there weren’t any issues but decided to ask another question.


    “I indeed have the intention to cultivate the first layer of the King Ming Art.


    After all, it’s only after some cultivation that I can firmly ascertain the difficulty involved, and see if there are any problems.


    Besides, while it’s quiet here, I want to refine the golden light barrier and claim it as my own.


    I also plan to make a set of flying needles from the Crystalized Demon Pill I obtained at the trade fair for later use.


    Of course, the most important items are these two things, which I also intend to deal with first.” Han Li sighed and flipped his palm, revealing two beads, one white and one golden, appearing in his hand.


    They were the Heavenly Corpse Pearl he had just acquired and the Snow Crystal Bead he had obtained from a disciple of the Nine Immortals Palace.


    “There’s no need to elaborate on the Snow Crystal Bead.


    It’s a rare ice-attribute treasure and has never been claimed before.


    If I can refine and cultivate it for a while, it will certainly be greatly beneficial against the Purple Apex Flames.


    As for this Heavenly Corpse Pearl, since so many people wanted it, even a mid Nascent Soul stage cultivator didn’t hesitate to kill for it, it must be out of the ordinary.


    Senior, do you happen to know its uses?” Han Li asked seriously.


    “This matter relates to the cultivation arts of demon ghosts.


    I really don’t know much.


    However, the Corpse Bead is quite famous, and I do know a bit about it.


    Such an object is usually formed only when Corpse Kings undergo special cultivation.


    For those cultivators who focus on body refinement, it can be considered a panacea for marrow cleansing.


    After swallowing it, it can slowly enhance the cultivator’s physique, causing rapid progress in body refinement.


    With this bead, even transforming one’s body to be as hard as iron, like a Corpse King or demon beast, is very likely.


    And since this is named Heavenly Corpse Pearl, I suppose its effects are probably even more extraordinary,” Monarch Great Development speculated after some thought.


    “Swallow it?


    You mean absorb it directly into my body and refine it like refining a Magic Artifact?” Han Li looked down at the golden bead, somewhat hesitant.


    “Of course, you can’t just refine it directly.


    The Corpse Bead inherently carries extremely potent corpse poison.


    You must first prepare a type of Spiritual Liquid to extract its toxicity completely.


    Although the ingredients for this Spiritual Liquid are somewhat rare, I remember you have them all.


    Hence, there’s no need to go out and purchase them.


    Moreover, most of the cultivation methods in the King Ming Art are also for body refinement.


    Perhaps this bead could be greatly beneficial for cultivating the King Ming Art.


    I’ll copy the formula onto jade slips for you.


    Take a look first!” Monarch Great Development offered his help to Han Li, as Han Li’s Evil Qi would prevent him from freely searching for materials until it was dispelled.


    “I see.


    I appreciate your help, Senior!” Han Li exhaled and showed a faint smile.


    After waiting a moment, a jade slip shot out from a bamboo container and Han Li grabbed it, attentively reading it.


    But suddenly, Monarch Great Development’s voice took on a peculiar tone as he asked, “Han Li, since you escaped the Moulan Prairies, have you forgotten about something very important?”


    “Something important?


    What are you referring to, Senior?” Han Li withdrew his divine sense and asked, puzzled.


    “Have you forgotten what’s trapped inside your Heavenvoid Cauldron?” Monarch Great Development sighed.


    “Are you talking about the transformation of the Heaventide Holy Beast?” Han Li chuckled.


    “Exactly, that beast.


    Since you captured it, I haven’t seen you deal with it at all.


    Could it really have slipped your mind?” Monarch Great Development laughed, ‘Hehe.’


    “No way I could overlook it.


    I’ve actually already dealt with it.


    It’s just that I can only expel it from my body when my mana recovers, which is why you don’t know about it.”


    “How did you handle it?” Monarch Great Development inquired with interest.


    “What else could I do?


    I’m not powerful enough to open the cauldron at will.


    That it spontaneously opened its lid the last time and let me capture the beast was beyond my expectations.


    I simply communicated with the beast using my divine sense,” Han Li said with a wry smile.


    “And the outcome?” Monarch Great Development pressed further.


    “Hmph!


    Since the beast arrived in this realm not long ago, its spiritually wise nature is barely developed.


    I can’t communicate with it at all,” Han Li responded with a hint of frustration.


    “That’s normal; nothing strange about it.


    This beast, though, since it’s the transformation of an upper realm sacred sect protecting beast, probably won’t take too long to fully awaken its spiritually wise nature.


    It wouldn’t be too late to handle the beast by then,” Monarch Great Development said indifferently.


    “That’s the only choice there is!


    It’s just regrettable that, similar to the cauldron of the Endless Sky Saintess and the Heavenvoid Cauldron, I’m unable to retrieve the treasure.


    Otherwise, considering the power of the Spiritual Sand emitted by it, it could be a treasure with immense divine skills.


    It seems likely that this cauldron is a copy of the Heavenvoid Cauldron,” Han Li expressed his disappointment.


    “That cauldron is obviously not the kind meant for annihilating enemies but is more likely an auxiliary type.


    The Seven Flames Fan, however, is a treasure designed for offense.


    If you can collect enough materials and follow my method to refine a replica, the power you wield against enemies will certainly exceed that of the Endless Sky Saintess’s cauldron.


    There’s nothing to envy!” Monarch Great Development said with a cold laugh.


    (First update!


    Recently, there’s been a lot more going on at home, and I’ve been very busy, so the update schedule has slipped a bit.


    But I will do my best to maintain stability.


    The next update will be a bit later.


    As soon as I handle things, I will immediately start working on the next chapter.


    Moreover, today is the last day for double monthly tickets, so if you have monthly tickets, please cast them now, otherwise, it would really be a waste.) (To be continued, for more information, please visit www.qidian.com.
