?Chapter 961: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 958 Marital Nephew Li Chapter 961: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 958 Marital Nephew Li The old man’s gaze naturally fell upon Han Li, and his facial muscles twitched in an instant, as he hurriedly bowed with a fist and said,


    “Junior has heard from our disciples that an esteemed visitor had graced our sect, but I never expected it to be a Nascent Soul cultivator of senior’s caliber.


    It is truly rude of us not to have met you outside.”


    This sole elder of the Heavenly Talisman Sect was full of reverence.


    Upon hearing the warm-named elder’s words, Yue Zhen and the other Foundation Establishment cultivators were greatly shocked.


    The last sliver of doubt in their minds completely vanished as they looked at Han Li with even more reverence.


    To the present Heavenly Talisman Sect, a Nascent Soul cultivator was an existence far too exalted to reach.


    “I am merely fulfilling someone’s request by delivering an item here.


    There is no need for such formality,” said Han Li, his expression unchanging, then he added lightly,


    “This item has been in my possession for a number of years.


    Now that I happen to have matters to attend to in Flower Cloud Province, it is only natural that I return it.


    This is something that was specifically designated to be handed over to the leader of your sect.”


    With that said, Han Li patted his waist with one hand, and a square bone box appeared in his hand, which he casually placed on the table before him.


    The Wen-named elder paused upon hearing this, but quickly turned his head cleverly and said,

    Go and see what the senior has brought.


    If it truly is a lost item of our sect, we will surely owe a great debt of gratitude to the senior.”


    “Yes, martial uncle,” Yue Zhen responded respectfully.


    He then stepped forward, picked up the bone box in both hands, and opened it curiously.


    Inside the box, several bone pieces engraved with tiny characters appeared before his eyes.


    “What is this?” Yue Zhen, taken aback, picked up a piece and took a closer look.


    Han Li simply smiled without speaking.


    “Spirit Subjugation Talismans!


    These are the refining methods for Spirit Subjugation Talismans, and the handwriting is that of Elder Yun!” After just a few glances, Yue Zhen exclaimed excitedly.


    “Elder Brother Yun?


    Are you sure you’re not mistaken?” The Wen-named elder’s expression became grave after a moment of surprise.


    “Absolutely not.


    The study in the Sect Leader’s room still displays Elder Yun’s handwriting; I face it day and night, how could I get it wrong?” Yue Zhen said without hesitation.


    The other cultivators were also astonished.


    “That’s right, this item is indeed something that Fellow Daoist Yun entrusted me to pass on.


    The Spirit Subjugation Talisman is one of the three secret talismans of your sect; there would be no mistake, right?” Han Li said noncommittally.


    “Of course, there’s no mistake.


    However, when did the senior meet Elder Brother Yun?


    Back when I had not yet formed my Golden Core, Brother Yun disappeared without a trace on a trip overseas and has been missing for decades.


    I hope nothing ill has befallen him,” the Wen-named elder asked with concern.


    “He should be fine.


    Actually, my encounter with your Sect Leader was purely coincidental.


    Decades ago, I experienced the same circumstances as your Sect Leader when I…” Han Li roughly recounted the events involving the ghostly mist and the Umbra Realm, naturally glossing over details about himself and the inner cores of umbra beasts that were not meant to be divulged, barely mentioning them.


    “So there truly exists such dangerous places in the world, it is truly unimaginable.


    No wonder over many years, cultivators have mysteriously disappeared along the coasts; it turned out to be the doing of this ghostly mist,” the Wen-named elder gasped in shock upon hearing about the Umbra Realm where mana cannot be used.


    “That’s correct, it cost Han Li great effort to barely escape.


    The item inside this box is something that your Sect Leader entrusted to me should I ever come across your sect.


    However, I have quite an interest in the art of talisman-crafting and have also studied the refining formula for the Spirit Subjugation Talisman a little; I hope it does not bother you fellows,” Han Li said, his eyes twinkling as he gave a faint smile.


    “The senior personally returning the talisman crafting formula to our sect is a tremendous favor.


    How could we possibly harbor such ungrateful thoughts?


    Although it is said that only our Sect Leader is allowed to master the Spirit Subjugation Talisman, had the senior not returned it, even the secret technique would have been lost.


    Naturally, no rules can be spoken of,” the Wen-named elder said with a respectful expression.


    Yue Zhen also continuously agreed from the side.


    “Such generosity from you fellows leaves Han Li feeling somewhat embarrassed.


    However, since the item has been delivered, I have fulfilled a wish of mine, and so I shall take my leave now,” Han Li nodded in satisfaction and promptly stood up.


    “The senior has not yet been repaid for the favor of delivering the item.


    Why not stay a few more days at our sect, allowing us to show a bit of hospitality in return?” the Wen-named elder, though overjoyed with the return of the Spirit Subjugation Talisman, was more intent on forming a connection with this suddenly appeared prominent figure.


    He hastily made the offer.


    Not to mention anything else, but just having people know that their sect has made the acquaintance of a Nascent Soul cultivator, the status of the Heavenly Talisman Sect would undoubtedly skyrocket in the ranks of minor sects.


    Perhaps even the significant trouble they were currently facing could be peacefully resolved.


    “Stay a while longer!” Han Li’s mouth curled into a smile that was not quite a smile.


    “Doesn’t Senior Han have an interest in the way of talisman-crafting?


    Our sect, without boasting, does have some research in this field, and our ancestors have also collected many various scriptures related to Daoist paper talismans.


    If the senior doesn’t mind, you could take a look.


    At the same time, you might impart a point or two to our juniors,” Yue Zhen, his eyes flickering, suddenly spoke up in this manner.


    “Daoist paper talisman scriptures!” Han Li was slightly startled upon hearing this and pondered for a moment, feeling somewhat tempted.


    The elderly man with the surname Wen was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly in agreement.


    “Very well.


    I am indeed quite interested in talisman creation, so I shall stay a few days at your sect,” Han Li said.


    Ever since he learned the Spirit Subjugation Talisman, he had been quite curious about the secret talisman techniques of the Heavenly Talisman Sect.


    After some thought, he finally nodded.


    “That’s wonderful!


    It is an honor for our sect that Senior Han stays.


    Would you prefer to rest a bit first and start tomorrow…” The elderly man with the surname Wen was overjoyed and spoke cautiously.


    “No need, take me to the Scripture Pavilion now,” Han Li shook his head.


    With his current level of cultivation, as long as he meditated a little while reading, the mana he had expended on the way would naturally recover.


    “Very well, martial nephew Yang, please take Senior Han to our sect’s Scripture Pavilion for a visit.


    If the senior has any requests, make sure to fulfill them all,” the elder with the surname Wen said joyfully, hastily instructing a middle-aged cultivator.


    “At your command, Uncle Wen.


    Senior Han, please follow me,” the middle-aged cultivator said, exceedingly respectful.


    Han Li nodded and followed the man out of the grand hall.


    “I never expected that Brother Yun would be trapped in such a ghostly place.


    No wonder his disappearance that year was so strange.


    It’s also a fortunate affair for our sect to recover the secret techniques of the Spirit Subjugation Talisman.” The elderly man named Wen let out a sigh after Han Li had left the grand hall for a good while.


    “However, if we can take this opportunity to form a good relationship with Senior Han and spread some rumors, it would definitely be of great benefit to our sect.


    Not to mention others, the problem with the city market could be easily resolved at the very least.


    With a Nascent Soul cultivator as our backer, the Spirit Wind Sect would naturally keep their distance, and even the Evil Sun Sect wouldn’t trouble a Nascent Soul cultivator over a trivial market.


    But judging from Senior Han’s tone just now, he seemed to have only a general relationship with Brother Yun in the Umbra Realm.


    With his status, why would he help us out of the blue?


    Even if we wanted to offer treasures to force a relationship, our sect has nothing that could catch Senior Han’s eye.


    Yet it would be a great pity to miss this opportunity,” said Yue Zhen, unable to help but murmur with a wry smile.


    “This is indeed somewhat tricky,” the elder with the surname Wen also frowned slightly.


    The other cultivators in the hall looked at each other, all showing a worried expression.


    At this time, Han Li had already arrived at a rather inconspicuous pavilion with the middle-aged cultivator.


    The pavilion was divided into three layers, enveloped by a layer of pale blue restrictive formations.


    As Han Li entered the first layer with the middle-aged cultivator, there was an old man seated cross-legged on a cushion inside, holding a jade slip in his hand as if examining the content within.


    “Martial nephew Li, come over and meet Senior Han,” as soon as the middle-aged cultivator saw the old man, he unceremoniously instructed, then turned around and respectfully explained to Han Li:


    “This martial nephew Li is specifically responsible for managing the Scripture Pavilion and is thoroughly familiar with all the scriptures inside.”


    It was as though the elder had just been jolted awake by the voice of the middle-aged cultivator.


    He hastily put away the jade slip, spryly jumped up, and hurried over.


    “So it’s Uncle Yang who has come.


    I failed to welcome you from afar and ask for your forgiveness, Uncle.


    This is Senior Han…


    Senior Han!” The elder’s face was full of wrinkles, his eyes small, and a hint of slyness gleamed within them.


    He made an apologetic smile toward the middle-aged cultivator, but when he stealthily glanced at Han Li, his voice suddenly trembled, and his expression froze.


    “Martial nephew Li?” Han Li said after clearly seeing the old man’s face, his eyes widened in astonishment, and a strange look spread across his face.


    “Do you recognize this disciple, senior?” asked the middle-aged cultivator, surprised, and could not help but inquire.


    “It’s nothing.


    This Daoist friend looks very much like an acquaintance of Han from years past.


    But upon closer inspection, it’s not the same person.


    It seems Han has mistaken someone else,” Han Li said, his face quickly returning to normal with a faint smile.


    “Hehe, I see.


    Then senior, you may cultivate here in peace.


    Martial nephew Li, there’s no need for you to tidy up here anymore.


    Come out with me,” the middle-aged cultivator naturally did not believe this explanation but did not dare to ask further.


    Instead, he turned to “martial nephew Li” and instructed.


    “Yes, I will just…”


    “There’s no need.


    Since this Daoist friend here is so knowledgeable about the scriptures in the pavilion, I may still need his assistance.


    Let him stay and accompany me for a few days,” Han Li suddenly said with a light chuckle, his eyes containing a deep meaning as he glanced at the elder.


    “Cough…


    Since senior orders so, I naturally obey.


    Martial nephew Li, your opportunity has come, make sure to comply with all of Senior Han’s instructions,” the middle-aged cultivator, although somewhat suspicious of their behavior just now, realized that this “martial nephew Li” having a few days alone with a Nascent Soul cultivator was indeed something to envy.


    To say nothing of the fact that a few casual pointers could benefit low-level cultivators immensely.


    But Han Li’s words clearly indicated his wish to see the guest out, and the middle-aged cultivator did not dare linger, giving the elder a few more instructions before reluctantly exiting with a trace of confusion in his heart.


    Han Li watched the back of the middle-aged cultivator disappear from the pavilion, turned his face to the elder, and revealed a meaningful light smile.
