?Chapter 995: Volume 6, Spirit Treasures Chapter 991: Purple Mist Chapter 995: Volume 6, Spirit Treasures Chapter 991: Purple Mist Returning to the cave, the wealthy elder and Bai Yaoyi still sat in meditation earnestly.


    Han Li had no intention of disturbing them.


    After a moment of hesitation, he slapped his storage pouch with one hand, a stack of formation flags and plates appeared in his hand, and without any qualms, he tossed them into the air.


    Instantly, colorful spiritual lights shot out in all directions, vanishing into the surroundings of the cave in the blink of an eye, and a simple array was formed in an instant.


    This array, besides being capable of concealment, could also provide a warning if any enemies invaded the cave.


    The other two paid no heed to Han Li’s actions, sitting still in their original spots.


    Upon seeing this, Han Li smiled slightly, then sat down cross-legged in a corner of the cave and closed his eyes to rest his spirit.


    One day and one night later, the wealthy elder and Bai Yaoyi’s mana slowly recovered.


    When the two of them stood up one after another, Han Li also moved slightly and opened his eyes:


    “Have the two fellow Daoists fully recovered your mana?” he asked indifferently.


    “Many thanks to Brother Han for being our protector, Fu and I have almost fully regained our mana,” Bai Yaoyi replied with a graceful smile.


    “Brother Han, during your departure, were you able to ascertain our location?” The wealthy elder glanced at the huge array in the middle and couldn’t help but ask.


    “Not quite sure.


    We are within the belly of a huge mountain, surrounded by restrictive formations, so it seems leaving is not going to be easy,” Han Li said candidly.

    “A huge mountain?


    It’s normal for Brother Han, who hails from overseas, to be unfamiliar with the famous mountains and rivers of the Inland.


    However, I, Fu, may recognize it,” the wealthy elder said, his eyes brightening with confidence.


    “Hehe!


    Is that so?


    Since Brother Fu has said so, why don’t we go out for a look?” Han Li laughed ‘hehe’, noncommittally.


    “From what Brother Han said, could there be something special about this mountain?


    I will go out as well,” Bai Yaoyi immediately sensed something and said with sparkling eyes.


    Han Li nodded, his expression neutral.


    He had shown his divine powers to be far superior to the other two, naturally assuming the role of the leader.


    Thus, the elder and Bai Yaoyi exchanged glances, then turned into two streaks of light, flying out of the cave.


    Han Li did not get up from the ground, but with a flip of his palm, the tracking magical disc appeared in his hand.


    He glanced at the disc where a black and white point stood out clearly.


    Han Li narrowed his eyes, looking at the magical disc without saying a word.


    Time passed, and after who knows how long, he raised his eyebrows slightly and the magical disc in his hand shone brightly, then disappeared without a trace.


    A moment later, a flash of light at the cave entrance, and the wealthy elder and Bai Yaoyi flew back.


    However, the two who materialized before Han Li did not look too well.


    “What did you find?


    Any discoveries, fellow Daoists?” Han Li curled the corner of his mouth, his expression somewhere between a smile and not.


    Although he wasn’t very familiar with Great Jin, if there really was such a huge spiritual mountain, how could he not know of it.


    As expected, just as Han Li spoke, the wealthy elder began to bitterly smile.


    “Brother Han, don’t joke.


    Such a huge mountain, let alone seeing it, I’ve never even heard of it.


    I’m not even sure whether we’re still within the territory of Great Jin,” the elder said, his face showing a trace of concern.


    “Indeed.


    If such an astonishing giant mountain truly were somewhere in Great Jin, I would not have failed to hear about it,” Bai Yaoyi also said with closely knitted brows.


    “Perhaps.


    Though we do not know the nature of the restrictive formations outside, nor the situation beyond the mountain, this transportation formation is definitely laid by an ancient expert.


    The sudden activation of the array that teleported us here along with the Silver-winged Yaksha might have been due to our battle triggering some restriction within the array, or there might be other unknown reasons.


    However, that’s no longer important.


    Now, we should first craft the Infant Nurturing Pills and then investigate the mountain.


    What do you two think?” Han Li said in a calm and even tone.


    “Brother Han speaks wisely.


    This place is so rich in Spiritual Energy, extending our stay here wouldn’t be a problem.


    And even if this mountain holds some strangeness, with Brother Han here, there’s nothing to worry about.


    Perhaps it will even turn into an opportunity for us,” the wealthy elder said after a moment of silence, smiling openly.


    Bai Yaoyi, too, was extremely eager for the Infant Nurturing Pills and naturally wouldn’t oppose the idea.


    Thus, she nodded.


    “Brother Fu flatters me!


    Both of you must have noticed, whether it’s due to the restrictive formation outside, our Divine Sense is greatly suppressed here.


    It extends only a few miles from our bodies.


    Given the vastness of this mountain, even if the three of us join forces, there’s no telling when we would be able to fully explore it,” Han Li suddenly shifted the topic.


    “Indeed.


    I also noticed this earlier.


    Moreover, this mountain is so deathly still, it’s really eerie.


    It’s probably not a comfortable place,” Bai Yaoyi said as well.


    “Regardless of what this mountain is, the rich Spiritual Energy here is greatly beneficial for crafting Spirit Pills.


    We should first focus on making the Infant Nurturing Pills,” said the wealthy elder, chuckling a few times.


    Han Li and Bai Yaoyi naturally had no objections, so the group immediately began to set up a Spirit Gathering Formation in the cave, and after laying down several protective restrictions, the wealthy elder started to craft the Infant Nurturing Pills.


    During this time, Han Li and Bai Yaoyi did not leave anymore, watching over like protectors.


    After all, the Infant Nurturing Pills were incredibly important to the two of them.


    Even if there might be some oddity about the mountain, they would not be distracted for the time being.


    While Han Li and others were eagerly waiting for the Infant Nurturing Pill to be ready, at the waist of the giant mountain, in a stone kiosk, a group of Ye Clan cultivators had gathered.


    Most of them were sitting cross-legged near the stone kiosk, each holding a Spirit Stone in both hands, seemingly in the process of restoring their mana.


    The scholar in white robes, who was the Great Elder of the Ye Clan, floated above the stone kiosk, gazing into the distance at a long flight of stone steps built along the mountain.


    These stone steps were made entirely out of pure white stones and from afar looked like a jade stairway to heaven.


    But upon closer inspection, the white stones that made up the stairway were astonishingly wide, as much as fifty or sixty zhang.


    And no matter whether one looked up or down, the stone steps simply vanished into a milky white mist, making it impossible to see beyond.


    The scholar floated expressionlessly in the air, unmoving.


    Before long, suddenly a streak of light flashed across the sky, a wondrous rainbow emerged, and shot directly towards the stone kiosk from top to bottom.


    Only then did the scholar’s expression change as he looked towards the streak of light.


    In the blink of an eye, the pale yellow rainbow arrived in front of the scholar.


    As the radiance subsided, a strangely shaped figure with a large head appeared, the “Seventh Uncle” from the Ye Clan.


    “Third lad, I’ve already scouted ahead.


    Tens of miles up the steps, there’s an archway, which seems to be the renowned gateway to the Thousands of Cultivators.


    Without breaking the seal of this archway, it’s impossible to ascend further,” said the eccentric gravely.


    “Thousands of Cultivators’ Gateway!


    Then there’s no mistake.


    The legend has it that once, the ancient experts that lived on Kunwu Mountain numbered in the tens of thousands.


    One must pass through this gateway to reach the dwellings of many cultivators on Kunwu Mountain,” the scholar let out a long breath, his expression relaxing slightly.


    “However, I think the enchantment sealing this gateway is not ordinary.


    We better make our move soon!


    We don’t have much time to waste,” said the eccentric, glancing at the cultivators still recuperating below and frowning.


    “I’m well aware of that.


    But the others have suffered significant drains on their mana and need to restore it first.


    Even if Seventh Uncle and I are unharmed, this place is not safe, and we must protect the elders until they can fend for themselves.


    We can’t be everywhere at once,” the scholar said with a hint of helplessness.


    “That’s true!


    I didn’t expect that passing through the sealed rift would be such a difficult task.


    It’s fortunate that all present are Nascent Soul cultivators; otherwise, there might have been casualties,” the eccentric could only sigh.


    Hearing this, the scholar smiled and was about to say more when suddenly his expression changed, and he abruptly turned to look in a certain direction.


    “What’s wrong?” asked the eccentric, startled.


    “It seems there’s some noise coming from over there,” said the scholar solemnly.


    “Noise?” The eccentric, filled with surprise and suspicion, circulated his mana, and faintly heard a beastly roar echoing in his ears, reminiscent of both a lion and a dragon’s cry, growing louder and louder.


    “What’s this?


    It seems something is indeed coming our way!” A cold light flashed in the eccentric’s eyes as he flipped his hand, revealing something sparkling with silver light.


    The scholar also looked into the distance without blinking.


    Moments later, a cloud of purple mist appeared in the distance, rapidly shooting towards them, the beastly roars coming from within it.


    In an instant, the purple mist reached nearby, only a hundred or so zhang away from the stone kiosk.


    Both the scholar and the eccentric could now see a dark shadow hidden within the mist, with a pair of eyes the size of fists, glaring at them, full of bloodthirsty fury and clearly of no good nature.


    The eccentric’s expression darkened, and he threw his hand upwards.


    A stream of silver-pointed light flew out from his grasp, immediately disappearing out of sight.


    But just then, a claw emerged from the purple mist like a lightning bolt, and “bang”, it caught the streak of silver light in its grasp.


    A monstrous roar echoed through the mist as the immense claw gripped the silver light, revealing its true form as a small-sized, shiny Silver Shuttle.


    However, green blood dripped from the mighty claw, and the beast within the purple mist issued a pained howl, then suddenly its eyes flashed fiercely.


    The entire purple mist thinned and dissipated, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into nothingness, leaving only two sinister eyes, which blinked a few times before vanishing without a trace.


    Seeing this, both the eccentric and the scholar’s expressions changed.


    This was a monster proficient in evasive techniques!


    Now deep within this mountain, their divine sense was greatly suppressed, making such a creature incredibly troublesome to deal with.


    After exchanging a glance, the two acted almost simultaneously.


    The eccentric opened his mouth, and a yellowish flying sword shot out, spinning and transforming into a giant sword about a zhang long.


    This sword then shone brilliantly, performing a brief dance in the air, and from it, countless dazzling streaks of Sword Qi erupted, enveloping everything within several dozen zhang in its range.


    The scholar snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and a green flag appeared in his hand.


    He then tossed it downwards, and immediately, a surge of green mist billowed out from the banner, quickly forming a large cloud that protected the resting Ye Clan cultivators beneath.
