Wang Yu
Chapter 1072: Refining Silk
"The grievances outside can be settled outside. This Tower of Time cannot wait. Besides, with us here, does Fellow Daoist Shi still worry about anyone daring to attack you?" Jin Liu said coldly.
"Since that's the case, then let's part ways here. You take your broad road, and I'll take my narrow bridge. If you want to force me, then try it. I'll be happy to oblige," Han Li retorted with an equally unfriendly tone.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, please don't be angry. According to your description, this is indeed a bit demanding. How about this? As long as you're willing to make some concessions and release Fellow Daoist Lan's senior brother, you can choose the second treasure inside after we break the restriction, how about it?" Lei Yuce said quickly, noticing Han Li's displeasure, while secretly winking at Wen Zhong and the others.
Wen Zhong and the others also chimed in with words of persuasion, clearly not daring to underestimate Han Li after the strength he displayed in the previous battle.
"Since everyone's opinion is the same, then fine, I can release your senior brother. However, I don't want any of the treasures inside. Instead, I want to exchange it for a condition," Han Li said after a moment of silence.
"What condition does Fellow Daoist Shi want to exchange it for?" Lei Yuce asked immediately, delighted that Han Li didn't want the treasures inside.
"If you want me to release your senior brother, exchange it for a Fire Age Firefly's nest," Han Li said, turning to look at Lan Yan with a faint smile.
Jin Liu's face stiffened upon hearing this.
"Fire Age Firefly's nest... What is that? I don't have it," Lan Yan said with a look of astonishment.
"You don't have it, but that doesn't mean others don't," Han Li said, raising his chin towards Jin Liu with a non-smiling expression, then remained silent.
"Shi Mu, what do you mean!" Jin Liu, who had been harboring anger for a while, could no longer restrain himself upon seeing this scene, and roared.
The Fire Age Firefly's nest was extremely precious, and he also had great use for it, so how could he be willing to hand it over?
"It doesn't mean anything. I'm just proposing a condition. Didn't everyone say that they should make some sacrifices for the greater good? Shi has already made a concession for everyone. With Fellow Daoist Jin's noble awareness, he shouldn't be stingy with a mere material, right?" Han Li shrugged and said.
Jin Liu didn't expect Han Li to use the same words to retort at him, and was speechless for a moment, only glaring at Han Li.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, do you really have that Fire Age Firefly's nest? Would you be willing to part with it for the little girl? I can buy it with immortal essence stones, or exchange it for other precious materials," Lan Yan said, overjoyed that Han Li had relented, ignoring the dispute between Han Li and Jin Liu, and quickly walked to Jin Liu's side, asking somewhat anxiously.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, please help us for the sake of breaking this restriction," Lei Yuce also walked over and said.
Jin Liu's strength was far inferior to Han Li, so Lei Yuce didn't speak politely, and his expression and tone even carried a hint of threat.
Jin Liu's expression stiffened, then his eyes darted around, as if he had an idea, and the expression on his face became relaxed.
"It's fine for me to take out the Fire Age Insect Nest, but there's no need to exchange it for immortal essence stones or other materials. Didn't Fellow Daoist Lei promise that after breaking the restriction here, Fellow Daoist Lan would be the first to choose treasures? I don't want anything else from Fellow Daoist Lan. I just want you to give me the opportunity to choose the first treasure," Jin Liu said with a faint smile.
Although the Fire Age Firefly Insect Nest was precious, the treasures behind the restriction were even more important to him.
"Alright," Lei Yuce exchanged glances with the others, hesitated slightly, and then nodded.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Han Li didn't say anything more, and waved his hand.
A silver light flashed beside him, and Lan Yuanzi's figure appeared out of thin air, falling to the ground, still unconscious.
"Senior brother!" Lan Yan flew over quickly and hugged Lan Yuanzi.
She and Lan Yuanzi were cultivating a method of fusing laws, and although they had not yet succeeded, they already had a special connection with each other, and could sense each other's life and death.
Although Lan Yan knew that Lan Yuanzi had not yet fallen, she had been uneasy since he had fallen into the hands of the enemy. Now that she finally saw him, the weight on her heart was finally lifted, and she was overjoyed.
However, Lan Yan was, after all, a Grand Luo cultivator, and quickly controlled her emotions, waving her hand to emit a blue light to probe Lan Yuanzi's condition.
Han Li ignored Lan Yan and the others, and came to Jin Liu's side.
Jin Liu snorted, flipped his hand, and a dark red light flashed in front of him, and the insect nest emerged, and waves of powerful laws of time spread out from it.
Except for Su Anqian and Jin Liu, the others were seeing the Fire Age Firefly's nest for the first time. Feeling the huge power of the laws of time contained in this insect nest, everyone was moved.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Jin Liu slowed down his movements, allowing everyone to take a careful look at the insect nest.
"Thank you." Han Li was well aware of Jin Liu's little trick, but he didn't care at all, and turned his hand to put away the insect nest.
Now that all three insect nests had fallen into his hands, he only needed to find a safe place to refine them into crystals of the laws of time. His power of the laws of time would immediately increase greatly, which would be enough to display the great power that forced Qimozi back.
Recalling the terrifying power of that divine ability, Han Li's heart suddenly warmed, and then a strong thought surged into his mind: right here, refine the three insect nests immediately.
As long as he could fully display that divine ability, he was confident that he could defeat Li Qima, Qimozi, or any other danger.
After a slight deliberation, he quickly made up his mind, looked around, and soon landed on a side door next to the main hall, and was about to step over.
"Hey, why is my senior brother still unconscious? What did you do to him?" At this moment, Lan Yan's voice came, with a hint of questioning.
Han Li pinched a magic formula expressionlessly, and a golden light flew out, disappearing into Lan Yuanzi's body in a flash.
A layer of golden light immediately appeared on Lan Yuanzi's body, and soon dimmed down again.
His eyebrows twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Senior brother, are you alright?" Lan Yan smiled.
"Junior sister, what is this..." Lan Yuanzi said weakly as he saw Lan Yan.
After Han Li finished all this, he ignored the Lan brothers and sisters and walked towards the side door on his own.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, where are you going?" Su Anqian, who was standing next to him, quickly asked when she saw this scene.
"I have something to do. I'll leave for a while. You can divide the treasures in the restriction among yourselves. Don't worry about me," Han Li said lightly, and soon came to the side door, pushed it open, and walked in.
Behind the side door was a side hall, which was not large and had no furnishings. It was empty.
Han Li swept his divine sense over it, then nodded, and waved his hands.
Streams of light of various colors flew out of his sleeves and landed in various parts of the side hall.
The others in the main hall saw Han Li leave, and their expressions changed, but when they sensed that Han Li had only gone to the side hall next to him and had not really left, they were relieved.
Han Li's strength and cultivation, which he had displayed, had become an indispensable figure in the current situation. Without him, the others would really not be confident that they could deal with existences like Li Qima.
At the edge of the crowd, Xiong Shan and the black-robed man and woman stood silently. The three of them were only Golden Immortals, and they had rarely spoken throughout the journey.
The two were weak in cultivation, and Lei Yuce and the others had not noticed them.
"Is it here?" The black-robed woman's lips moved slightly, communicating with the black-robed youth next to her through voice transmission.
"That's right, it's this floor," the black-robed youth closed his eyes and sensed for a while, opened his eyes, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and replied through voice transmission.
"Don't just get excited. As far as I know, what you want to do is not easy. Are you confident?" The black-robed woman asked through voice transmission.
"If I didn't have a chance of winning, I wouldn't have come here with you," the black-robed youth seemed quite dissatisfied with the black-robed woman's question, and snorted through voice transmission.
"That's good. If you die here, it will be difficult for me to handle it alone," the black-robed woman chuckled.
The black-robed youth snorted and didn't reply, and closed his eyes again.
The black-robed woman didn't communicate with her companion any more, but turned to look at the side hall, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.
Xiong Shan stood aside and also looked towards the side hall, wondering what he was thinking.
On the other side, Lan Yan took out a pill and gave it to Lan Yuanzi, and waved her hand to touch Lan Yuanzi's body several times.
Lan Yuanzi's pale face quickly flushed with a hint of blood and stood up.
"Fellow Daoist Lan, your senior brother seems to be fine now. Let's start breaking the restriction," Lei Yuce said to Lan Yan.
"No problem," Lan Yan nodded.
……
Inside the side hall.
After Han Li glanced around, he pinched a magic formula with both hands and shouted in a low voice.
"Rise!"
As soon as the voice fell, streams of restriction light curtains rose up in various parts of the side hall, wrapping each place layer by layer.
After doing this, he moved his fingers and opened the entrance to the Flower Branch Space, and his figure flashed into it.
The pavilion in the Flower Branch Space was now wrapped in a layer of dense black air, forming a huge black ball that was tumbling.
A terrifying ghost power emanated from the black ball, and all the vegetation within a hundred feet of the pavilion withered away. Fortunately, the medicine garden was still far away from here and was not affected.
Han Li knew that this was Ti Hun refining the Crow's Nest Ghost King, and he was still unable to control the surging ghost power in his body.
He raised his hand and waved it, and dozens of golden lights flew out of his sleeves and landed around the pavilion, opening a layer of golden light curtain to cover the pavilion in it.
A power of the laws of time rippled within the golden light curtain, immediately imprisoning all the overflowing ghost power in it.
Seeing this, Han Li nodded in satisfaction. This set of array flags was refined by him when he was bored, and contained the power of the laws of time. It seemed that the effect was not bad.
He then raised his hand and waved it again, and a silver light flew out of his sleeve, turning into a silver bird that circled and danced. It was the Refined Flame Firebird.
"You guard the entrance to the Flower Branch Space. If anyone tries to invade, kill them without mercy," Han Li ordered lightly.
The Refined Flame Firebird chirped and flapped its wings towards the entrance of the Flower Branch Space.
Only then did Han Li feel relieved, found an open space in the Flower Branch Space, sat down cross-legged, and waved his hand to take out all three insect nests and placed them in front of him.
Then he took a deep breath, activated the Grand Five Elements Illusionary World Art, and a dazzling golden light burst out from his body, while his hands crossed and pinched a magic formula.
