?Chapter 983: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 980 Black Crystal Chapter 983: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 980 Black Crystal Several hours later, at the bottom of the Yin Yang Cave, Han Li stood within a colossal wind cave, his hands forming seals, with more than ten golden flying swords revolving unpredictably around his body.


    They turned the myriad of moths attacking from all sides into shreds, which then dissipated into wisps of black Qi.


    These moths were all several inches in size and pitch-black.


    With every flap of their wings, they sent out tiny Wind Blades towards Han Li, but these were all easily blocked by the golden light from the swords.


    Seeing the moths fall in succession, as though they were endless, Han Li’s expression darkened, growing impatient.


    Suddenly, he reached with one hand to the spirit beast pouch at his waist and raised it into the air.


    Instantly, countless golden beetles swarmed out of the pouch, rushing in all directions.


    These were Han Li’s Gold Devouring Beetles.


    The moment the black moths came into contact with the Gold Devouring Beetles, they tumbled out of the air, immediately falling into a disadvantage.


    Seeing this, Han Li called back most of his flying swords and started to walk deeper into the cave.


    Since this was a wind cave, the surrounding black winds were extraordinarily fierce.


    Even with his powerful Divine Sense, he could only probe a few feet ahead.


    However, now that he was free from the moths’ harassment, he didn’t fear this obstacle.


    After walking to about the middle of the wind cave, Han Li’s pupils flashed with blue light, allowing his vision to pierce through the surrounding black winds and see everything clearly.

    After a quick glance, he uttered a light “Huh” and changed direction, heading towards a certain spot.


    Just twenty or so feet later, Han Li raised his hand and a pale moon light stone enveloped in green Spiritual Energy flew up into the air.


    In an instant, the surrounding several feet were illuminated clearly.


    In the milky white light, a black crystal the size of a human head was half-embedded in the opposite rock wall, with only half of it exposed.


    Surprisingly, under the flickering dim light of the crystal, continuous streams of black moths emerged, attacking both Han Li and the conspicuous moon light stone.


    They were, of course, intercepted mid-flight by the Gold Devouring Beetles.


    In an instant, the numerous moths from mid-air started tumbling down, but before they could hit the ground, they turned into nothingness.


    “This is already the third one, but this one can actually use ghostly aura to conjure blood ghosts on its own.


    It’s quite peculiar,” Han Li muttered to himself.


    Just as Han Li was closely examining it, the black crystal emitted tens of thousands of black rays.


    Then with a “Puchi,” a huge moth several feet in size suddenly appeared from within the black lights.


    As soon as this moth appeared, it fiercely fixed its fire-red eyes on Han Li.


    Han Li’s eyebrows raised slightly, and he flicked his finger swiftly.


    Following a thunderclap, a streak of golden lightning shot out, shattering the huge moth into pieces.


    Even if this giant Umbra Moth had some unusual Divine Skill, it couldn’t withstand even a bit against the Devilbane Lightning, which specialized in exorcising blood ghosts.


    Afterwards, he stopped hesitating and reached through the empty space toward the crystal.


    A large hand shimmering in green light appeared out of thin air in front of him, and with a “Bang,” forcibly pulled the crystal out of the stone wall.


    The moment the crystal was removed, the violent surrounding ghostly winds diminished by a large margin.


    And those black moths that were battling with the Gold Devouring Beetles also vanished into the wind with a flash of black light.


    Han Li appeared indifferent to this spectacle, having discovered two other crystals previously in wind caves.


    Neither were as large as this one, but when removed, they had caused the same phenomenon.


    He had initially wondered at this, but now paid it no more attention.


    Since the last time he had found the elder with the surname Fu, who had reinforced the Purple Nether Divine Light, Han Li had parted ways with Bai Yaoyi.


    Without her following by his side, Han Li could fully unleash his arsenal of techniques.


    In recent days, as he progressively ventured deeper into the cavern’s heart, he had often encountered high-level blood ghosts, all of which were wiped out cleanly under his flying swords and Devilbane Lightning.


    He hadn’t even needed to use the Weeping Soul Beast.


    In terms of exploration rate, Han Li was moving at least twice as fast as the others.


    When others finished exploring one branching tunnel, he had already completed two.


    However, it made sense why the Yin Yang Cave, despite its fame, had seldom seen high-level cultivators come to explore.


    They had delved so deep but, aside from some ordinary ores and a few damaged Sect Master’s Magic Artifacts and Daoist paper talismans, they found nothing of value.


    It was only after Han Li had pursued a fleeing blood ghost and accidentally entered a small wind cave, where he discovered a Black Crystal, that he became interested in these otherwise avoided wind caves.


    Places of fierce Yin winds were where Yin Zhi Horses absolutely couldn’t survive.


    Additionally, entering a wind cave meant an immediate increase in the consumption of both the reinforcing Purple Nether Divine Light and one’s own mana.


    Naturally, nobody wanted to venture into such an uncomfortable situation.


    But Han Li, protected by Devilbane Lightning and with Myriad Year Spirit Milk to replenish his mana, had no concerns about this.


    He was instead quite interested in these crystals, often venturing deep inside to investigate.


    Han Li had never seen these Black Crystals before, nor had he read about them in any books.


    Although they looked similar to Black Marrow Drills at first glance, the two were entirely different.


    The Black Crystals were not as indestructibly hard as Black Marrow Drills and didn’t contain Demonic Qi.


    Instead, they seemed to be strange wind-attributed crystals condensed over years in a Yin cave and also contained a great deal of ghostly aura.


    However, these Black Crystals were not common.


    After searching through dozens of wind caves, Han Li had only found three so far.


    The first two, only fist-sized, didn’t have the ability to conjure blood ghosts, and were not comparable to the crystal before him.


    Han Li squinted his eyes and carefully examined the crystal stone that no longer showed any reaction.


    After a while, he finally raised his hand and attached several restriction talismans on it, then he packed the Black Crystal into a huge jade box and put it into his storage pouch.


    He then searched the giant wind cavity again to ensure that nothing was overlooked before he left the place and returned to the passage.


    After walking several hundred feet forward and exploring another small cave, the passage began to narrow.


    At last, a stone wall sealed by ice appeared in front of him.


    Han Li sighed but still took a few steps forward and sent a streak of green light towards the wall with a flick of his wrist.


    With a “puchi” sound, the green light penetrated several feet deep into the stone wall, then vanished in a flash.


    Han Li didn’t give up, instead he laid one hand on the wall and swept through it with his Divine Sense.


    Moments later, having confirmed that the stone wall was solid without any mechanisms or restrictive formations, Han Li hesitated no longer and turned around, flying back the way he had come.


    The way back had already been scoured once, so his escape speed was naturally several times faster.


    Although he still had no idea how extensive the Yin Yang Cave really was, judging by the various blood ghosts that appeared, he and the others must have been approaching the core of the cave.


    But to this moment, there was still no trace of the Yin Zhi Horse, which made Han Li quite impatient.


    He had hurriedly refined the Three Flame Fan and took the risk to venture into this place, he certainly didn’t want to leave empty-handed.


    The difficulty of breaking through from the mid to the late Nascent Soul stage, Han Li had not yet attempted, but it was imaginable.


    Considering that every cultivator who could reach the mid-stage was a prodigy, but only three individuals in Tian Luo had succeeded in breaking through to the next level.


    Although there were more late Nascent Soul cultivators in Great Jin, relative to the numerous Immortal Cultivation sects and cultivators, they were still as rare as one in a thousand.


    Thus, even though Han Li still had the Phoenix Subversion Cultivation Art as a means to break through the bottleneck, he had no confidence at all that he would truly advance to the late Nascent Soul stage.


    Now that there was a chance to refine a Nascent Soul with the Infant Nurturing Pill, he naturally wouldn’t let it slip away.


    If he really couldn’t find the Yin Zhi Horse in the Yin Yang Cave this time, he would have to find a way to get the recipe for the Infant Nurturing Pill from the rich old man.


    Although the hope was slim, as long as he had the recipe, he would find a way to search for the Yin Zhi Horse elsewhere.


    It was impossible for the Yin Yang Cave to be the only place in the world where ghostly aura gathered.


    Flying hastily, Han Li coldly strategized in his heart.


    Suddenly, his expression changed, and he looked intently ahead only to see a flash of light, with a green streak of light flying towards him.


    Without time to think, Han Li flicked his sleeve, and a burst of green luminescence flew out, enveloping the green light and smoothly pulling it down.


    Within the luminescence, the green light’s brilliance subsided, revealing a tiny green dagger with a red jade slip attached to it.


    Han Li pursed his lips, took the jade slip from the dagger, and tossed the green dagger into the air.


    The green dagger let out a clear ring and after circling around, it disappeared into the black wind on the way back, without a trace.


    Han Li, as if indifferent, instead lowered his head and immersed his Divine Sense in the jade slip.


    “Found the trace of the Yin Zhi Horse, this really is good news!” Moments later, Han Li’s face showed a smile as he withdrew his Divine Sense from the jade slip.


    He then flipped his hand and a pale White Array Plate appeared in his palm.


    With a tap on the array plate, a flash of green light followed and the surface of the object became as smooth as a mirror, yet four light spots of different colors flickered faintly on it.


    After briefly scanning the position of these lights, Han Li immediately pocketed the array plate and his speed instantly doubled as he shot out.


    Half a day later, Han Li arrived at a four-way intersection, where Lady Yuan, the large man, and Doctor Mo, the old man with the surname Fu, were sitting cross-legged facing a passage to the east.


    The Purple Nether Bead floated motionlessly above the old man’s head.


    “Lady Yuan, you’ve found that thing,” Han Li dropped his streak of light in the purple glow and asked with a sigh of relief.


    “Indeed, the Yin Zhi Horse is in this passage.


    However, this spiritual creature is extremely cunning, and I cannot capture it alone.


    So I had to temporarily seal off the exit here, waiting for the rest of our fellow Daoists,” Lady Yuan replied with a Hehe laugh, an excited look barely concealed on his face.


    “That’s good.


    Now that we know the whereabouts of this Spiritual Creature, capturing it is only a matter of time,” Han Li nodded with a smile.


    “Fellow Daoist Bai and Sister Chang, being farther away, we will have to wait a bit longer.


    The more of us here, the better our chances,” the old man with the surname Fu also said with a happy expression.


    Hearing this, Han Li relaxed and sat down on the spot.


    Several hours later, the lady in black and Bai Yaoyi also arrived one after another.


    The good news brought joy to them as well.


    Without delay, the cultivators set up several simple arrays at the intersection, and then they all flew into the passage to the east.


    But what no one knew was that just as they had flown a short distance away, a faint light suddenly flickered beneath the ground at the intersection, and three pitch-black dried corpses emerged leisurely.


    These corpses had hollow chests, skin and bones, but their eyes flickered with icy green light, emotionlessly staring in the direction where Han Li and the others had disappeared.
