Wang Yu

Chapter 253 Getting into Trouble

Han Li flipped his hand and took a medicinal pill, his complexion gradually recovering.

The Heavy Water True Wheel hovered beside him, the light on its surface somewhat dim. It was clear that it had suffered no small amount of damage in the previous impact, and he would have to refine it properly when he returned.

On the other side, Lin Jiu also retrieved the three Great Ji Banners. After the fierce collision with the last strike of Gu Jie's incarnation, although they were not damaged, their spirituality was also lost, which made him feel very regretful.

The most miserable was naturally Lin Seventeen. Not only was he seriously injured earlier, greatly depleting his Yuan Qi, but the great seal, equivalent to his natal magic weapon, had almost completely lost its spirituality under the infusion of the Law power of the Golden Immortal incarnation. However, being able to save his life and retrieve this treasure was still a great fortune in misfortune.

The three of them rested briefly in place, then turned back and flew into the valley.

After the fierce battle just now, the valley was now completely unrecognizable. Most of the surrounding peaks were directly razed to the ground, and countless large and small deep pits were punched into the ground. Some places even directly penetrated deep into the earth, vaguely revealing surging magma.

Although this mountain range was located in a remote area, the commotion they had caused was truly astonishing, and it was inevitable that it would attract the attention of cultivators from nearby forces.

As a matter of fact, for the next several decades, this desolate snow mountain attracted many people to seek opportunities.

Of course, these were all matters for later.

"I almost forgot, I'll go get the two treasures used to suppress the formation outside first." Lin Jiu flew to the entrance of the valley and said after a scan with his eyes.

"Then I'll go retrieve the Lightning Restraint Wood. I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Lin Seventeen to take care of the valley." Han Li said.

Lin Seventeen naturally had no objections to this.

The three of them knew that this place was not suitable for a long stay, so they immediately acted in tacit agreement, each going their own way. Under mutual supervision with their spiritual senses, they were not afraid that anyone would be lazy or cheat.

With a flash of green light, Han Li's figure appeared in a certain place outside the valley. He waved his hand and shot a beam of green light into the ground.

Boom!

The ground exploded, creating a large hole. Inside the hole was a golden wood material more than one person tall and as thick as a thigh.

The whole body was golden, and a circle of lightning-shaped annual ring patterns appeared at the broken end. The surface was smooth, and even more golden lightning patterns appeared, emitting a strong lightning aura.

Although it was wood, it looked more like a metal ore. It was Lightning Restraint Wood.

Han Li waved his hand and put the golden wood into his hand, examining it carefully.

He had seen Lightning Restraint Wood in the classics. It was a very rare lightning-attribute spiritual material, extremely hard in texture, and had the property of absorbing lightning power. It was a top-quality material for refining lightning-attribute spiritual treasures.

This spiritual wood was very troublesome to cultivate, so it rarely appeared on the market. He didn't expect to get a batch of it here.

Thinking like this, Han Li flew to another place, shot out a beam of green light, blasted open the ground, and dug out another Lightning Restraint Wood.

After a while, he dug out all the Lightning Restraint Wood around the valley, a total of eighty-one pieces.

When Han Li flew into the valley with these spiritual woods, Lin Jiu and Lin Seventeen were already standing on an open space in the valley, with two treasures floating in front of the former.

One was a golden ancient sword, simple in shape and completely different from ordinary flying swords. It belonged to the category of great swords, and nine golden star patterns were engraved on the wide blade.

The other was a golden ancient mirror, square in shape with hollowed-out edges. The mirror surface was hazy and unclear, and a tiger pattern was carved on the back of the mirror.

Obviously, these two treasures were the spiritual treasures that suppressed the two formation eyes.

The two treasures were obviously extraordinary, emitting waves of spiritual gold attribute fluctuations as if they were spiritual. They were both top-grade gold attribute spiritual treasures, and even if they were not as good as immortal artifacts, they were not far off.

Lin Seventeen, in addition to the golden pill furnace, was also holding a storage bracelet, which was the white-haired old man's item.

Although the harvest seemed to be quite rich, the two of them were silent for some reason.

"Fellow Daoists, have you discovered something?" Han Li landed beside the two of them and asked.

"Take a look at what's inside." Lin Seventeen patted the golden pill furnace and said indifferently.

Hearing this, Han Li immediately released his spiritual sense and probed into the pill furnace.

Although the pill furnace had long stopped refining pills, the inside was still filled with a scorching spiritual power, flowing slowly, forming a solid magic circle, making it quite difficult for the spiritual sense to penetrate.

He frowned slightly, increased the power of his spiritual sense, instantly broke through the influence of the magic circle, and entered it.

A thumb-sized purple medicinal pill was suspended in the pill furnace. Half of the medicinal pill had turned into a charred black state, obviously the refining had failed.

However, this medicinal pill…

Han Li flicked his wrist lightly, waved his hand and shot out several magic formulas, submerging into various parts of the pill furnace. He lightly shouted and slapped the top cover of the pill furnace, a flash of green light flashing across his palm.

A soft "click" sound came from inside the furnace. He waved his hand and the pill furnace cover opened, and the purple medicinal pill shot out.

Seeing this, Lin Jiu's eyebrows twitched slightly imperceptibly. He seemed a little surprised that Han Li could break the restrictions on the pill furnace and take out the medicinal pill with such ease.

Han Li looked at the purple medicinal pill, his face becoming serious.

There was a purple lightning-shaped spiritual pattern on the medicinal pill, but it was incomplete, with many breaks, especially the charred black place, which cut off most of the spiritual pattern.

Although very weak, the purple lightning spiritual pattern emitted traces of Law fluctuations.

"As expected, it's refining a Dao Pill." Han Li muttered.

"That's right, it's a Dao Pill. I just looked carefully at the face of the white-haired old man. I finally remembered that this person is called Ping Yaozi, a famous top-level Earth Pill Master in the Northern Cold Immortal Palace. However, he is usually low-key and few people know his appearance. It is said that this person has been trying to break through to become a Heaven Pill Master. I wonder if he has succeeded. If he has already succeeded…" Lin Jiu said, his voice full of bitterness.

Hearing this, Han Li's expression became a little ugly.

What a Heaven Pill Master meant to any force was self-evident.

Even the Candle Dragon Dao, which almost dominated a continent and ranked high in the Northern Cold Immortal Territory, did not have a Heaven Pill Master, which was enough to show its preciousness.

If this Ping Yaozi was really as Lin Jiu speculated and had become a Heaven Pill Master, his status in the Northern Cold Immortal Palace would probably be unimaginable. Even if he was still a top-level Earth Pill Master, he would still be extraordinary.

Now the three of them had killed him for a high reward mission from the Unchanging Alliance.

No wonder that Gu Jie was so angry and vowed to kill the three of them.

At the thought of this, he suddenly felt uneasy.

This time, he had really provoked a big trouble…

"It's too late to say anything now. We have been cultivating hard for thousands of years and passed through the Tribulation True Immortal. Who doesn't have some innocent souls in their hands? There is a saying in the world, 'One general succeeds, ten thousand bones wither'. We are pursuing the Great Dao, going against the heavens, so how can we only write about ten thousand bones? Since things have come to this, I will not sit still and wait for death." Lin Jiu took a long breath and then changed his tone.

"Fellow Daoist Lin Jiu is right. The Heavenly Dao is ruthless, and the weak will become a handful of yellow soil sooner or later. This Northern Cold Immortal Territory is so vast. After we go back, we will make some preparations. Even if that Gu Jie has the cultivation of a Golden Immortal, he may not really be able to do anything to us! Time is of the essence. Let's divide these things first and then leave as soon as possible." Lin Seventeen nodded, agreeing deeply.

"Alright." Han Li took a light breath and naturally had no objections.

Hearing this, Lin Seventeen shook the storage bracelet in his hand. With a "whoosh" sound, a pile of things appeared on the ground.

Most of them were various spiritual herbs and materials. Each one looked full of spiritual energy and colorful light, immediately attracting the attention of the three of them.

Han Li's eyes flashed and he directly fell on one of the spiritual herbs.

This herb was as green as jade, somewhat curved in shape, presenting a dragon shape. The leaves were small, tightly attached to the main stem of the spiritual herb, like scales.

This herb was actually a Coiling Dragon Grass, the main material of the Spring Rain Pill that he had previously checked in the Immortal Medicine Pavilion.

He didn't expect to encounter it here. There were quite a few Coiling Dragon Grasses on the ground, at least a dozen, and they all seemed to be over 50,000 years old.

As for other spiritual herbs and materials, Han Li could only recognize half of them, and none of them were below the Coiling Dragon Grass. They were all top-grade spiritual materials.

Just these spiritual herbs and materials were a great fortune.

In addition to these materials, there were also six or seven magic weapons, two white jade bottles, a purple jade box, and a small pile of Immortal Essence Stones, about fifty or sixty pieces.

Those few magic weapons were all spiritual treasure level, and their quality looked good, but they were far inferior to the two spiritual treasures that suppressed the formation.

The two white jade bottles were sealed with restrictions, and the spiritual sense could not invade them. He didn't know what was inside.

As for the purple jade box, a silver talisman was pasted on it. Countless tadpole-shaped silver runes were swimming on it, emitting powerful spiritual power fluctuations.

The jade box was also engraved with several layers of spiritual patterns, which were connected to the silver talisman.

The entire jade box was shrouded in a layer of silver light, and the spiritual sense could not penetrate it at all.

Lin Seventeen handed the storage bracelet to Lin Jiu next to him, signaling him to check it.

Lin Jiu's expression was a little strange at the moment. He stared blankly at those few magic weapons, but did not take the storage bracelet. It was not until Lin Seventeen reminded him that he seemed to come back to his senses.

"Oh, I was a little distracted just now. I didn't expect that Ping Yaozi would carry so many things on him." Lin Jiu said, taking the storage bracelet.

Seeing this, Han Li's heart moved. Although it was only for a moment, he saw a strange look in Lin Jiu's eyes.

He intentionally or unintentionally looked at those few magic weapons, but found that they were all ordinary magic weapons and did not look eye-catching.

However, next to those treasures, there was a black token that looked a little strange, with a cross pattern engraved on it, emitting a faint black light.

"Huh, this seems to be the Ten Direction Tower's token. Could it be that this Ping Yaozi has something to do with the Ten Direction Tower?" Just at this moment, Lin Seventeen seemed to have also discovered the black token and said.

As soon as these words came out, Han Li's heart moved slightly.

"Whether he is a member of the Ten Direction Tower or not has nothing to do with us." Lin Jiu said, handing the checked storage bracelet to Han Li.

Han Li only symbolically swept it with his spiritual sense. After confirming that it was already empty, he nodded and once again turned his gaze to the spoils on the ground.
