?Chapter 964: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 961 The Malevolent Flood Dragon Chapter 964: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 961 The Malevolent Flood Dragon Han Li’s mouth twitched slightly, revealing a hint of a light smile upon hearing the cautious proposition of the Heavenly Talisman Sect.


    “Expecting me to become the Guest Elder for all three of your families?


    Do you think I would agree?”


    “The junior knows that with such minor sects as ours, we truly aren’t qualified to engage someone as eminent as senior.


    However, all we would require of our senior is to help us resolve the current trouble, and after that, the position would merely be in name, and we’d dare not trouble senior further.” The Wen-named elder was originally apprehensive, but seeing that Han Li did not seem angry, he relaxed and hastened to explain:


    “What you mean to say is that I only need to take action once and thereafter, I won’t need to expend any more effort?” Han Li asked with a flicker in his gaze.


    “Exactly, that is what we all mean.


    Of course, we wouldn’t let senior take action without compensation.


    Since senior is interested in talisman creation, our Heavenly Talisman Sect is willing to offer the Spirit Transforming Talisman secret technique as a gift.


    Golden Rosy Mountain and Mingyang Valley also each have a legacy secret technique that we’d be willing for senior to study.


    In addition, we have prepared tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, hoping that the senior would accept them.” At this point, the Wen-named elder simply laid out all the conditions in one breath.


    He clearly understood that any more trickery might anger the other party, so it was better to be straightforward.


    “Tens of thousands of Spirit Stones?” Han Li smiled faintly.


    “These Spirit Stones are indeed a little scarce.

    Nevertheless, every year our three sects will continue to offer additional Spirit Stones for senior’s use.


    In addition, my sect is willing to gift the Spirit Transforming Talisman that was personally refined by our founding ancestral master.


    With senior’s divine skills, it should be possible to refine this item,” the Wen-named elder bit his lip, revealing his final bottom line.


    “The founding ancestral master-you’re referring to the Heavenly Talisman real person?” Han Li’s expression finally shifted slightly.


    “Correct, that is the treasure.


    To be honest with senior, although this spirit talisman has displayed divine powers in the hands of our sect’s ancestors, it’s unfortunate that our later generations of disciples have been unable to refine it.


    Thus, this spirit talisman has been passed down in our sect for countless years, and we have only been able to watch as its spirituality gradually diminishes without being able to do anything about it.


    If senior could put it to use, it would be a mutually beneficial solution.” This time, it was Yue Zhen who took the initiative to speak.


    “Your sect possesses such an object, something I, Han Li, would indeed like to see first!” Han Li became interested.


    “Yue nephew, bring out the Spirit Talisman for the senior to take a look at,” said the Wen-named elder, seeing Han Li with a touched interest, feeling great joy, and eagerly instructing.


    Although he was the highest in cultivation within the Heavenly Talisman Sect, the Spirit Talisman that had been used by the real Heavenly Talisman person could only be held by the successive sect leaders.


    That is why he spoke this way.


    “Yes, martial uncle!”


    Yue Zhen, understanding the situation, immediately slapped his storage pouch with his palm.


    A flicker of green light, and a pale yellow wooden box appeared in his hand, which he then handed over to Han Li with both hands.


    Han Li raised an eyebrow and did not stand on ceremony.


    With a casual beckoning gesture, he pulled the wooden box into his hand and first glanced down at it.


    The surface of the wooden box was unremarkable and extremely simple, with a golden glowing Daoist paper talisman attached to the lid.


    With a raise of his eyebrow, Han Li brushed his hand over the lid of the box, and with a flicker of spiritual light, the talisman silently floated down.


    Other cultivators who saw this scene didn’t think much of it, but the Wen-named elder and three Core Formation elders simultaneously started in surprise.


    Being able to easily remove restriction talismans with spiritual power like this was not something typical cultivators could do.


    It required not only a certain level of formidable cultivation but also an incredibly delicate manipulation of mana.


    This technique, they had only heard of in rumors.


    Now, seeing Han Li accomplish it without making a sound, their respect for Han Li grew even more.


    As soon as the box lid was opened, a misty green light appeared within, followed by a burst of pure wood spiritual Qi.


    Han Li felt a wave of surprise in his heart.


    According to the Wen-named elder, after so many years, the spirituality of this spirit talisman should have greatly decreased, but seeing its current vigor, it was evidently no ordinary item.


    What made Han Li even happier was that the Spirit Transforming Talisman happened to be a wood attribute talisman, which complemented his own cultivation technique, making its cultivation much easier.


    Thinking this, Han Li saw the talisman in the green light clearly.


    It was a palm-sized talisman, its green color lustrous and delicate, with golden and silver runes flickering around its edges, appearing exceedingly mysterious.


    However, what caught Han Li’s attention was the small cluster of light purple light points in the center of the talisman, slowly rotating and constantly flickering.


    With a raise of his hand, Han Li’s palm was suddenly enveloped in a layer of green light as his fingers reached for the spirit talisman within the box.


    With a flash of light, the spirit talisman trembled and abruptly turned into a streak of green light, shooting out of the box.


    Han Li’s expression darkened as he reached back with his hand.


    A phantom-like hand materialized and instantly scooped up the Spirit Talisman.


    Before the other cultivators could even exclaim, the hand dissipated into nothing, and the talisman was directly drawn into Han Li’s hand.


    “This is the Spirit Transforming Talisman.


    It really does have some tricks to it.


    It’s said that the creator, a true cultivator from the Heavenly Talisman Sect, was also a great cultivator in the Deity Transformation stage.


    The True Yuan of the Heavenly Talisman within this talisman must be excessively powerful, which is why it’s not an easy task for an ordinary cultivator to refine it.


    Even if one succeeds in refining it, the power of the talisman will greatly diminish and will need to be retrained with one’s True Yuan.


    This is not something that can be done in just a few decades.


    If not handled well, it may well take over a hundred years,” Han Li said with a hehe, smiling as he gazed at the talisman between his fingers, which squirmed and twisted like a living fish.


    “Does the senior think this talisman…” Upon hearing Han Li’s words, the warm-named elder and several others exchanged glances, before asking with a sinking heart.


    “However, this is for early Nascent Soul cultivators.


    I have already advanced to the mid Nascent Soul Stage, and my main cultivation technique is of the wood attribute, which makes refining this item somewhat easier.


    This talisman is still of use to me,” Han Li said, subtly changing the subject.


    In fact, he also left unsaid that while this twice-tempered talisman took an exceptionally long time to refine, once successfully re-cultivated, its power would surely surpass its former glory.


    “Does the senior mean that you agree?” The warm-named elder replied eagerly, with surprise and delight.


    Hearing this, the other cultivators in the hall also showed faces full of anticipation.


    “Agree or not, that’s not urgent.


    First, tell me about the trouble you want me to resolve.


    If it’s not too troublesome, I may well intervene once,” Han Li said noncommittally.


    At the same time, with a slight flick of his wrist, a cluster of Spiritual Energy wrapped around the talisman and shot it into the wooden box before he beckoned and the lid closed again.


    “Of course, in fact, this matter is just a small effort for the senior.


    It primarily concerns a city market owned by our three families.


    A few days ago…” The warm-named elder, seeing Han Li appearing to contemplate agreement, happily began to explain the situation concerning the city market and the Evil Sun Sect in detail.


    Han Li listened silently.


    A quarter of an hour later, Han Li transformed into a green rainbow and left White Bamboo Mountain, flying toward the north in full escape.


    Several days later, news spread across Flower Cloud Province’s realm of immortal cultivators, neither too big nor too small.


    A cultivator surname Han, claiming to be a Guest Elder of the Heavenly Talisman Sect, suddenly arrived at the mountain gate of the Devilish Evil Sun Sect.


    With the astonishing Divine Skills of a mid Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, he easily defeated the only Nascent Soul elder of the Evil Sun Sect under the guise of a friendly spar, and then he left gracefully.


    The next day, the Spirit Wind Sect, which had been fully supported by the Evil Sun Sect, suddenly moved their city market from its original location near Kaijiang Town to a place thousands of miles away in a hurried fashion.


    Not only that, other small and medium sects, upon hearing the news, were greatly shocked, and after inquiring about the details, they all withdrew their influence from the surrounding ten-thousand-mile area centered on Kaijiang Town, willingly ceding this large territory to the Heavenly Talisman Sect and the other two small sects.


    For a time, Heavenly Talisman Sect and the other sects naturally puffed up with pride, and all the cultivators inside were extremely joyful.


    Those Sect Leaders and elders felt that the offerings to secure this Guest Elder had not been in vain.


    With such a mid Nascent Soul Stage Guest Elder associated with them, their sect’s power could indeed flip for the better in the next hundred years.


    At that moment, the Hunting Dragon Assembly, organized by the number one sect of Flower Cloud Province a€“ the Southern Sea Sect a€“ finally began.


    This assembly, in just a few days, gathered more than two hundred cultivators above the Core Formation Stage, with nearly ten being Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.


    Then, under the organization of the Southern Sea Sect, they began to split into squads and started sweeping various seas nearby, looking everywhere for the hiding places of several Venomous Flood Dragons.


    During this time, lower-grade demon beasts were occasionally discovered and then killed one by one.


    For a while, the morale of the Human Cultivators was high, with a strong sense of achieving complete success.


    However, the cunning Flood Dragons, sensing something was amiss, constantly stayed hidden, causing the cultivators to fruitlessly busy themselves for months on end, unable to find any trace of these creatures.


    Finally, some cultivators could not endure the frustration and left on their own.


    Another month passed, and the number of cultivators still searching the seas for the Venomous Flood Dragons was down to just over a hundred.


    Even among the Nascent Soul cultivators, several had left, leaving only seven, primarily from the Southern Sea Sect.


    With the number of their subordinates greatly reduced, the Flood Dragons saw an opportunity and became restless.


    They did not only start attacking lone cultivators more often but also the blue grade eight flood dragon directly attacked squads of cultivators with fewer members.


    Although these squads were all led by Nascent Soul cultivators, the grade eight blue flood dragon was extremely skilled in divine arts and had mastered the Water Escape Technique to the point of perfection.


    Each time it attacked, it would immediately dive deep into the sea to escape, not engaging in prolonged fights.


    The result was that they didn’t manage to injure the dragon at all, but it instead devoured several Core Formation cultivators.


    This turn of events left the remaining Human Cultivators shaken and fearful, with the Southern Sea Sect feeling like they were riding a tiger they could not dismount.


    Left with no choice, they could only try to merge several squads together to dare to continue sending out search parties.


    And on this particular day, a group of more than ten cultivators, led by a Nascent Soul cultivator, were cautiously flying over a certain sea area.


    They each carefully extended their Divine Sense, scanning around, with a particular focus on the direction of the sea.


    Among this group of cultivators, Han Li had disguised himself as a pale-faced middle-aged cultivator, flying calmly at the end of the group.


    Despite his outward composure, his heart was actually filled with frustration.


    When the Hunting Dragon Assembly had just started, Han Li had joined under the guise of a Core Formation cultivator, ready to take advantage of the chaos.


    But to his dismay, he had come up empty-handed thus far.


    The past few months were bearable, with no gains being normal.


    But ever since the Venomous Flood Dragons started appearing again, other squads had encountered one or two stealth attacks from them.


    Only the squad that he had joined had not yet encountered a single one.


    Han Li was truly speechless at this circumstance, not knowing whether his luck was too good or too bad.
