Wang Yu
Chapter 1159 A Transaction
The golden light on the fire dragon was dazzling and unparalleled, even blinding to the naked eye. The power of laws it emitted was like a roaring mountain and a crashing sea, its might even more formidable than when it was in the hands of Dao Yin Zhenren and Qimozi.
The nearby void trembled violently, as if unable to withstand the might of the golden fire dragon, on the verge of shattering.
Han Li's expression changed upon seeing this.
This was within the flower branch space. Once the space shattered, he didn't know what impact it would have.
While pondering, he quickly formed hand seals to control the golden fire dragon, causing it to restrain its power and quickly fly back.
The golden fire dragon quickly flew back into the lamp flame, disappearing without a trace.
Han Li repeatedly cast spells to stabilize the temporal law fluctuations within the Years Divine Lamp.
He looked at the Years Divine Lamp, recalling the incredibly powerful golden fire dragon from just now, and wondered why its power was so great when he activated the lamp.
What Han Li didn't know was that the golden fire dragon possessed such power due to his cultivation of the Great Five Elements Illusory World Divine Art.
The Great Five Elements Illusory World Divine Art was comprehended from the passage of time within the five most original Five Elements objects of this world, a temporal technique that seized the fortune of heaven and earth. Although Han Li's current level of cultivation was insufficient, his temporal law power was of extremely high quality, far surpassing that of Qimozi. The power of the simulated Years Flame was naturally greater, and it could stimulate the power of the Years Divine Lamp even more.
Han Li thought for a while, but without any leads, he stopped thinking about it. He held the Years Divine Lamp in front of him and continued to refine it with spells.
Although he could now control this divine lamp, he wasn't proficient in it and needed to continue refining it to control it freely.
However, refining the Years Divine Lamp didn't require complete concentration. While refining the lamp, he took out the Heavenly Passage Sword Formation Diagram and the Five Thunder Divine Art True Scripture.
He first took the jade slip recording the Five Thunder Divine Art True Scripture, immersed his spiritual sense in it, carefully examined it, and revealed a look of amazement.
This Five Thunder Divine Art True Scripture was indeed a technique highly praised by the Black Heaven Demon Ancestor. Leaving aside the thunder and lightning cultivation techniques within, the detailed descriptions of various thunder techniques in the heavens alone broadened Han Li's horizons.
According to the Five Thunder Divine Art True Scripture, thunder techniques in the world were divided into thirty-six Heavenly Thunders, seventy-two Earthly Thunders, and one hundred and eight Cloud Thunders.
The various types of lightning that Han Li had seen before were mostly Cloud Thunders and Earthly Thunders. Each of the thirty-six Heavenly Thunders possessed immense power and were extremely rare.
The Evil-warding Divine Thunder that Han Li had mastered before was one of the seventy-two Earthly Thunders. The Bone Cleansing Golden Thunder in the Evil Cleansing Thunder Pool of the Grey Realm also belonged to the seventy-two Earthly Thunders. However, the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords had merged the two into one, evolving into a new type of thunder and lightning power, which was already very close to Heavenly Thunder in terms of power.
The Five Thunder Divine Art True Scripture also contained many secret techniques for sacrificing thunder, condensing thunder, and nurturing thunder, which also broadened his horizons.
However, Han Li didn't study the Five Thunder Divine Art True Scripture. The things recorded in this jade slip were too exquisite, and he didn't cultivate thunder and lightning techniques. At most, he would cultivate a few thunder and lightning secret techniques in the future.
To be honest, this jade slip was wasted in his hands.
Han Li didn't have the leisure to lament the fate of the Five Thunder Divine Art True Scripture. He turned his hand and put it away, then took the Heavenly Passage Sword Formation Diagram.
His eyebrows twitched, and he released his spiritual sense, wrapping around the Heavenly Passage Sword Diagram and immersing himself inside.
To his surprise, his spiritual sense easily entered it.
Just as Han Li was surprised, a loud "boom" sounded, and a vast amount of information surged into his mind.
This information was too vast, and even with his soul power, it took a while to completely digest it. His face revealed a look of joy.
This was precisely the method for arranging the Heavenly Passage Sword Formation, as well as the method for activating the sword formation.
Han Li was no stranger to sword formations. Because he cultivated a large number of Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, he could barely be considered a master of sword formations, having seen many sword formations. However, the sword formations he had seen before were not on the same level as the Heavenly Passage Sword Formation at all.
To some extent, the Heavenly Passage Sword Formation was no longer a pure sword formation, but rather used the sword formation to communicate with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. No wonder it dared to be named "Heavenly Passage."
According to the sword formation arrangement information, the Heavenly Passage Sword Formation used this Heavenly Passage Sword Diagram as the foundation of the formation. This sword diagram had no attributes, so there were no attribute requirements for flying swords. Any flying sword, as long as the number reached thirty-six, could be used with the Heavenly Passage Sword Formation Diagram to arrange the formation.
Of course, the quality of the flying swords was also very high, otherwise they would not be able to withstand the immense power of the sword formation at all.
Han Li's mouth curved upward. He had enough Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, and their quality was naturally beyond question, definitely meeting the requirements of the sword formation.
He closed his eyes and rested for a moment, then read the sword formation information in his mind again.
The Heavenly Passage Sword Formation was incredibly profound. With Han Li's comprehension ability, he couldn't understand it in a short period of time and needed time to study it slowly. Arranging the formation was even less something that could be achieved overnight.
Just at that moment, his eyebrows suddenly twitched, and a streak of crimson light flashed across his body.
Han Li put down the Heavenly Passage Sword Diagram in his hand, turned his hand and took out an object, which was the Samsara Temple Mask, and put it on his face.
He opened the trading interface, and someone had responded to his reward for purchasing temporal law objects on it.
Han Li was overjoyed and made a gesture with his hand.
The dark red light on the trading interface flashed, and a figure emerged, looking like a young man, wearing a dark red robe and a head of slightly curly black hair. Although he was wearing a mask and couldn't see his face, he gave people a sense of suave handsomeness.
The mask on this person's face was engraved with the words "Yuan San."
"Hehe, you must be Fellow Daoist Long Wu, I've heard so much about you." Yuan San cupped his hands and smiled, his voice cheerful.
"That's right, I am Long Wu. Does Fellow Daoist Yuan San have temporal law materials?" Han Li was slightly surprised that the other party seemed to have heard of him, but he didn't beat around the bush and asked straight to the point.
"Otherwise, why would I contact you?" Yuan San chuckled, turned his hand and took out an object, which was a fist-sized blue crystal, shaped like a drop of water.
Although it was just a virtual image, one could clearly see the glittering golden light contained within the crystal, like the setting sun projecting onto the rolling waves, forming patches of golden shadows.
"Water Origin Time Crystal!" Han Li's eyes lit up, and he immediately recognized the blue crystal.
"This is not an ordinary Water Origin Time Crystal, but the highest quality Water Origin Time King Crystal. Don't look at its fist-sized size, the temporal law power contained within is very rich, enough to refine a fifth-grade immortal artifact." Yuan San said with a slight smile.
Han Li also nodded. Although he could only see a virtual image, he could roughly judge that the temporal law contained within that Water Origin Time Crystal was not much less than the Fire Age Beehive from back then.
"I wonder how much you are asking for this item?" Han Li's mind raced, and he asked directly.
"I spent all my savings to obtain this Water Origin Time King Crystal, and I don't plan to trade it for immortal essence stones." Yuan San shook his head.
"Then Fellow Daoist Yuan San is planning to trade for something else?" Han Li didn't show any surprise and said.
"You could say it's trading for something else, but more accurately, I want to make a deal with Fellow Daoist Long Wu using this item." Yuan San smiled.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan San, just say what you want to say." Han Li said with a sound of "oh."
"Fellow Daoist Long Wu seems to be a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush. I am currently in urgent need of a batch of temporal law pills. I heard that Fellow Daoist Long Wu has refined temporal law pills before. I have ten portions of materials for temporal law pills here. Please use these materials to refine five temporal law pills. As long as Fellow Daoist Long Wu can do it, I am willing to give you this Water Origin Time King Crystal." Yuan San said with a serious expression.
"What if I can't refine five temporal law pills?" Han Li's eyes flashed.
"If you can't refine temporal law pills, or the number you refine is not enough, then I'm sorry, you won't get anything." Yuan San said quietly.
Han Li frowned upon hearing this.
Although he had the ability of a Dao Pill Master, it was extremely difficult to refine five temporal law pills with ten portions of materials, and he wasn't completely confident.
"Fellow Daoist Long Wu, this deal is a great advantage for you. I provide all the materials, and you just lend a hand. If you refine five temporal law pills, you can get this Water Origin Time King Crystal. Even if you fail, you won't lose anything. What are you hesitating for?" Yuan San said with slight dissatisfaction, seeing Han Li's silence.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan San, don't misunderstand. I'm not hesitating. I've accepted this deal. I just have two questions I want to ask clearly first." Han Li said.
"Fellow Daoist Long Wu, please speak." Yuan San asked, his expression slightly easing.
"Do you have any requirements for the grade of the temporal law pills you want to refine?" Han Li asked.
"Of course, they must be above second-grade Dao Pills. But Fellow Daoist Long Wu, don't worry, the main materials for the Dao Pills I give you contain a rich temporal law. As long as your pill refining skills are sufficient, refining third-grade Dao Pills is not a problem." Yuan San said with a smile.
Han Li's expression eased upon hearing this, and he nodded.
"If you have any other concerns, you can say them all at once. This is originally a deal. At this time, exchanging information can ensure that you and I have a consistent understanding, and the deal will have a chance to succeed." Yuan San said again.
"I have one more question. Fellow Daoist Yuan San also seems to be someone who knows a lot about pill refining. You should also know that although pill refining depends on skill, luck is also very important. Even the most skilled Dao Pill Master may not be able to refine five Dao Pills with ten portions of materials. I will definitely do my best to refine pills, but if I'm unlucky and can't refine five Dao Pills, it's natural that I'll be refining pills for you for nothing. But can Fellow Daoist Yuan San sell the Water Origin Time King Crystal to me in consideration of my hard work in refining pills? I am willing to offer immortal essence stones that are 30% higher than the market price." Han Li looked at Yuan San and said sincerely.
"That won't do. I have never taken back what I say. If you want this Water Origin Time King Crystal, there is only one way, and that is to refine five temporal law pills. If you can't refine them, I won't sell this Water Origin Time King Crystal, even if you offer ten times the price." Yuan San immediately shook his head and said, his attitude very firm.
