?Chapter 949: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 946 Senior Han Chapter 949: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 946 Senior Han Han Li had been in the room for a day and a night.


    Although the Sect Master of the Daoist temple was an ordinary mortal, he was aware of some matters concerning the cultivators and had vaguely guessed Han Li’s identity.


    Therefore, during this period, he did not let anyone disturb Han Li.


    When Han Li finally opened his eyes in the room, a hint of disappointment showed on his face.


    “The Cold Marrow’s chill couldn’t be integrated with the Purple Apex Flames at all.


    It seems that for now, it can only be used as a material.


    I should use it to refine the Snow Crystal Bead again,” Han Li muttered helplessly.


    Suddenly, he opened his mouth and with a light “puff,” a crystal-clear bead spurted out, hovering several feet in front of him.


    Looking at the object before him, Han Li raised his hand, and the small bottle containing the Cold Marrow appeared in his palm.


    His finger brushed past it, and the cap flew off by itself.


    He immediately slapped the bottom of the bottle with his other hand.


    Instantly, a drop of silver bead shot out and disappeared into the Snow Crystal Bead.


    Han Li, saying no more, pinched a magic formula with both hands and opened his mouth again.


    A stream of Nascent flames burst forth, instantly enveloping the bead in front of him, burning vigorously.

    Calmly watching the bead within the flames, Han Li closed his eyes again.


    Refining this bead didn’t require much time.


    There was enough time to complete the refining before the grand auction was convened.


    Thinking so, he began meticulously refining the treasure before him using his spiritual sense.


    …


    While Han Li was focused on refining the Daoist paper talisman, in a corner of the imperial city in the northern part of Jinjing, a young man wearing a light blue robe stood in a stone kiosk, his hands clasped behind his back, enjoying the exotic flowers and rare herbs outside the kiosk with a content expression.


    Suddenly, the young man’s expression shifted.


    His face turned abruptly, revealing his true appearance, which bore a striking resemblance to Han Li, the only difference being his pair of emotionless, icy eyes.


    At that moment, the sound of footsteps came from the nearby garden entrance, and shortly after, an elder in a black embroidered gown appeared, looking up straight into the young man’s bright eyes, which sent a shiver down his spine.


    Fortunately, the cold light in the young man’s eyes quickly faded, making him appear more ordinary, and he casually said,


    “I thought it might be someone else.


    Is it Yun Yi visiting?


    Are you looking for Han Li?”


    “Senior Han, in these past few days, our spies in various city markets have sent a message that might interest you,” the elder chuckled dryly as he approached.


    “Message?


    You know I have no interest in trivial matters and am not responsible for any specific duties.


    If you need my assistance, just have Elder Ye speak to me,” the young man said coldly, turning his head back to gaze at the flowers and shrubs in front of the kiosk.


    “Heh, if it were anything else, I naturally wouldn’t disturb your cultivation, Brother Han.


    But this message is related to you,” the elder said, undeterred by the distance in the young man’s attitude, hinting at deeper implications.


    “Related to me?


    Did you find that person?” the young man was startled, narrowed his eyes, and asked with a chilling tone.


    “Yes, we indeed have news of that person.


    Reportedly, some cultivators from the Gui Luo Sect have been quietly searching for this person in several parts of the Yuejing city market.


    Here is the portrait they distributed.


    It should be the same person Senior Han mentioned.


    However, Senior Han should see for himself,” the elder raised his hand, and a white jade slip flew out from his sleeve.


    The young man in the light blue robe gloomily gestured, attracting the jade slip into his hand.


    His spiritual sense immediately immersed in it, scrutinizing carefully.


    “Yes, it’s indeed him.


    Is there any word on why the Gui Luo Sect people are looking for him?” the young man’s face twitched, swiftly withdrawing his spiritual sense and asked calmly.


    “No news yet, but all Nascent Soul elders from the Yin Sifting Sect in Yuejing have suddenly gathered together, I don’t know whether it’s related to that person.


    Senior Han, you’ve mentioned that the cultivator who shares your name is a major enemy of yours, and you’ve asked the clan to help find him.


    Thus, the second elder has decided to leave this person to Han Li to deal with.


    No matter what means Senior Han employs against this person, it is only necessary that he does not interfere with the normal progress of the major auction.


    After all, the Ye Clan must acquire a few specific items at this auction.


    Elder Ye does not want any accidents to occur,” the elder spoke impassively.


    “Hmph, as long as I get accurate information about this person, I will make him disappear from this world.


    However, I don’t know how many evil treasures the clan has gathered for me.


    I agreed to join the Imperial Clan to serve the Ye Clan, but it was under this condition.” Senior Han snorted coldly.


    “Rest assured, Han Li, we are already monitoring the whereabouts of the evil treasures everywhere.


    Have we not already found one for you?


    However, acquiring the remaining evil treasures is somewhat troublesome and will take some time,” the elder in a black hat explained, his expression unchanged.


    “I don’t care how you find the evil treasures.


    I’ve served the Ye Clan for twenty years, and after those twenty years, I must see the agreed-upon evil treasures in my hands,” Senior Han said, his lips pursed and a flash of cold light in his eyes.


    “Of course.


    Since the Ye Clan has promised Senior Han, we will definitely not go back on our word.


    Senior Han, please rest for now.


    The moment we have precise information about that person, I will notify you immediately,” the elder in the black hat said, his smile not reaching his eyes as he finally took his leave with a fist salute.


    The young man sneered as he watched the elder’s figure disappear at the garden gate.


    Then, remembering something, he gently shook his sleeve, and a small grey sword enveloped in shimmering golden light suddenly appeared in his hand.


    The small sword, entangled in several black threads, still bounced spiritedly as if trying to break free, though these black threads, made from unknown material, tightly bound it despite the sword’s struggles.


    The young man frowned and suddenly opened his mouth, spewing forth a mouthful of black blood that doused the golden sword.


    The golden sword moaned mournfully, its brilliance immediately dimming, yet it continued to hum lowly, unwilling to submit.


    “What a hassle.


    A human world flying sword, and it’s still so difficult to erase its spirit.


    If not for the fact that this sword was crafted from Gold Lightning Bamboo, why would I bother with so much effort?” the young man murmured to himself, his face showing impatience.


    “However, since your master has also arrived in Jinjing, this presents a rare opportunity.


    As long as I destroy him, not only can I avenge the soul murder that has prevented me from recovering my full cultivation, but this sword will also become unowned, and I can easily tame it,” the young man said, his face flickering with Evil Qi while his pupils mysteriously glimmered black and purple, suddenly transforming him into a bizarre and demonic figure.

    Meanwhile, in a secluded corner of the mansion, two men and one woman were seated around a round table, engaged in conversation.


    One of them was the black-hatted elder who had just returned from meeting with the young man, the other was a middle-aged man with a formidable face and a jade belt.


    The woman, who had previously appeared in the Imperial Pure Temple, now had a solemn expression as she listened to the black-hatted elder recount his conversation with the young man.


    “So it seems, Senior Han agreed immediately,” the square-faced middle-aged man remarked thoughtfully after hearing the elder’s account.


    “Indeed.


    Although Senior Han did not show excessive emotion when hearing about his namesake, the murderous intent in his eyes was undoubtedly real.


    It seems his claims of a deep feud with that person are genuine,” the black-hatted elder replied.


    “But both their names are identical, and even their appearances are so similar.


    And that ‘Han Li’ intruding into our Imperial Clan’s residence in the Imperial Pure Temple not long ago, I wonder what his purpose was-is he targeting our Ye Clan?


    Now, he is being secretly investigated so seriously by the Yin Sifting Sect cultivators.


    I keep feeling uneasy about this,” the beautiful woman raised an eyebrow.


    “Of course, there are things we do not know about, but why should we bother with these matters?


    As long as Senior Han is not an undercover agent from the Daoist Sects or others, and can help the Ye Clan achieve great things, we need not be overly inquisitive.


    Senior Han is not only strong in cultivation, but also knows much about ancient secrets, essential to our plans in the years to come.


    Before that, we must make every effort to gain his trust.


    Moreover, regarding this namesake of Senior Han’s, we must keep a closer watch.


    Such attention from the Yin Sifting Sect surely means he is no ordinary figure.


    Since we can’t be sure if he targets our Ye Clan, if possible, we should still assist Senior Han in eliminating him promptly,” the square-faced elder said, patting the armrest of his chair with a grave voice.


    “The Second Elder speaks wisely.


    However, this Senior Han also seems a bit sinister, and I always feel he might be hiding his true strength from us, even making us gather evil treasures which harm both others and oneself; it’s truly hard to understand his intentions.


    I believe we should also be very cautious of him,” the black-hatted elder suddenly chimed in.


    “I am well aware of that, Brother Yun Yi.


    Other than the core elders of our Ye Clan, I trust no outsider, nor will I reveal our true plans to them.


    The key now is, we need to secure a few specific items at this auction that must not be discovered by other powers as our bids.


    Otherwise, they might either intentionally sabotage us or perhaps deduce parts of our plans from these items.


    Such events must not happen.


    Therefore, you must ensure everything is arranged properly for this auction, allowing no mistakes.


    Should we miss this auction and fail to gather the needed materials to craft those magic artifacts, our treasure-fetching expedition in the coming years will not proceed smoothly,” the square-faced elder instructed gravely.
