Chapter 1090: Yin Spirit Water, Sun Essence Stone

"It's very simple. In the Profound Jade Cave, besides the cold air, there are some things one must be careful about. For example, these ten-thousand-year profound jades; they appear as if they can be easily removed, but in reality, every single one of them was refined together with the entire mineral vein by an ancient cultivator using an unknown great divine ability. Added to that, after being tempered by the cave's cold air for so many years, they have all become a single, solid whole. Even if one possesses the sharpest of treasures, they cannot be removed. Otherwise, with so much profound jade, why would this palace have left them here unused? If they could all be taken out and refined into magic treasures, this palace's strength would not be inferior to the Grand One Gate or the Heavenly Demon Sect overnight." The middle-aged man in green robes said with a look of regret on his face.

"These profound jades cannot be removed!" The old woman frowned, looking somewhat unconvinced.

"If Lady Long has any doubts in her heart, you are welcome to try it yourself, and you will know that what Junior Brother Master Ouyang said is not false," Master Han Li also said with a smile.

"Oh, is it truly such a strange matter? This old woman would really like to try." The old woman's white hair trembled, and suddenly, she raised the cane in her hand and pointed at a piece of profound jade the size of a silkworm bean on the rocks in front of her.

A wisp of yellow light sprayed out from the tip of the cane, flashed, and struck the profound jade.

With a muffled "bang," the light on this piece of profound jade flashed, and it remained as if nothing had happened.

The old woman's expression changed slightly, but then her expression sank, a layer of baleful aura appeared on her face, and she suddenly shook her sleeve, revealing a small, ancient-looking green hammer in her hand.

With a slight shake, she raised her hand and threw it, and the hammer transformed into a bolt of green lightning and struck out.

With a loud "boom," the green lightning burst apart the moment it touched the profound jade. The profound jade's light flickered, and it suddenly turned into a cloud of white powder that drifted away in the wind.

Seeing this, the old woman was left dumbfounded.

"Fellow Daoist Long, don't be surprised. No matter how powerful the treasure used, these profound jades will only be destroyed; they cannot be removed intact," Master Han Li chuckled.

The old woman's expression was somewhat ugly, but she could only remain silent.

The gray-robed monk on the side suddenly spoke up:

"Fellow Daoist Han Li, if that is the case, your palace's profound jade shouldn't be very abundant. Yet, you were so generous to us just now; this truly makes this poor monk somewhat confused."

"Haha, Master Mo Jiu is overthinking it. Although this palace cannot mine the profound jade in the cave in large quantities, our Little Extreme Palace still has some ways to take out a small amount. Junior Sister Bai, take one piece out for these fellow daoists to see!" Master Han Li was startled when he heard the monk's words, but then he laughed loudly and instructed Bai Mengmeng.

Hearing this, the woman in white robes nodded faintly, then patted her storage bag with one hand, and a small white bottle appeared in her hand.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Bai Mengmeng walked a few steps to the rocks, skillfully opened the bottle cap, and with a flash of white light on her hand, used her magic power to force a drop of liquid as black as ink out of the bottle.

This drop of liquid emitted a faint gray aura and flew toward another piece of profound jade in the pile of rocks.

Han Li, who had been indifferent all along, suddenly changed his expression the moment he saw this drop of liquid, then returned to his normal expression, but the shock in his pupils could still not be completely hidden.

Fortunately, at this moment, everyone else was watching the situation in front of them, and no one noticed Han Li's abnormality.

As a result, the moment the drop of liquid touched the profound jade, it vanished in a flash, just like a mud ox entering the sea.

The profound jade was instantly covered in a layer of gray aura, then emitted a "crisp sound," and actually detached itself from the rock, being grabbed by Bai Mengmeng.

The old woman and the monk revealed expressions of surprise, and Han Li's eyes also changed to a look of surprise.

Master Han Li chuckled and explained:

"In the past, the founding ancestor of our palace left behind a treasure that can automatically gather the earth spirit yin energy, gathering a drop of liquid every ten years. It is specifically used to turn stone into gold and is incomparably miraculous. Only by using this water can the profound jade in the cave be removed intact. Therefore, this palace only opens the Profound Jade Cave once every thousand years, and each time we can only remove a small amount of profound jade."

"So that's how it is," the gray-robed monk revealed a look of sudden realization.

The old woman looked at the ten-thousand-year profound jade scattered all over the cave and could only secretly flash a look of regret before remaining silent.

Han Li, on the other hand, felt a turmoil in his heart after witnessing the scene of the liquid drop falling onto the jade.

"For other matters, let us first go to the Sun Essence Room to discuss in detail." Master Han Li said as he walked toward the red stone room with large strides.

Han Li and the others had no objections and followed behind.

Only when they got closer did they discover that this stone room was semi-transparent, flickering with red light and emitting a scorching, arrogant heat, as if it were piled up from fire spirit stones.

"Sun Essence Stone," Han Li heard of this material for the first time, but the words "Sun Essence Fire" naturally appeared in his mind. There should be some connection between the two.

He thought to himself, not very certain.

But regardless, this seemed to be a clue to finding the Sun Essence Fire. He had to probe from the side to see if he could get anything from these people of Little Extreme Palace.

Entering the stone room, it was empty inside, with nothing at all. But the profound jade cold air that had been raging outside was indeed unable to pierce through the room and enter inside.

Feeling at ease, everyone put away their protective cold flames and found suitable positions to sit cross-legged.

As soon as Han Li sat down, he heard the gray-robed monk look left and right, then say with a smile:

"Unexpectedly, besides ten-thousand-year profound jade, your palace can actually find such strange treasures as Sun Essence Stone, which is no less than profound jade. However, according to what this poor monk knows, this material is deep within the earth fire, and can only be formed after being refined by the legendary Sun Essence Fire. With so much essence stone, I really don't know how your palace found it."

"Hehe, Master actually knows about Sun Essence Stone; this makes this Han Li somewhat surprised. However, these are materials collected by the ancestors of our palace through the generations, and we descendants are just enjoying the fruits of their labor. Now, I will first tell you fellow daoists about the other taboos of the Profound Jade Cave, and then I will explain in detail the specific steps to break through the bottleneck." Master Han Li gave a dry laugh, seemingly not wanting to talk more about this, and took the initiative to change the subject.

The monk smiled slightly and immediately stopped talking.

Han Li was overjoyed when he heard it was indeed related to "Sun Essence Fire," but when he heard what followed, he secretly slandered him. However, he had to pull himself together and listen to what this Great Elder of Little Extreme Palace had to say.

Almost at the same time, on a huge pavilion of Little Extreme Palace on the surface, a middle-aged beautiful woman in white robes sat elegantly on a wooden chair. On the two chairs in front of her sat a man and a woman, who were none other than Bai Bai Yaoyi and the gray-haired elder of the Supervision Elder. Both of them looked at the woman with solemn expressions.

"So, Great Elder Han Li really opened a Void Spirit Hall and brought three outsiders into it." The beautiful woman asked with unusual calmness. Her voice was slightly hoarse, but there was an indescribable magnetism in it that made one unforgettable upon hearing it.

"Reporting to the Palace Master, the Great Elder indeed did so. However, he has already arranged contingency plans." Bai Bai Yaoyi replied slowly.

"Hmph! What contingency plans. Isn't it just the old way? Once the enemy force is too great and the great formation cannot handle it, they immediately let the elite disciples hide in the Void Spirit Hall, tear open space, and temporarily hide. Originally there should have been two Void Spirit Halls, but now the most important one has been occupied. If something really happens, the number of disciples that can be preserved will be a full one-third less." The gray-haired elder said somewhat unwillingly.

"One cannot say it like that. If Senior Brother Han Li really succeeds in advancing to the Spirit Transformation stage, then no matter how fierce the demons' attack is this time, it should be fine. However, to be on the safe side, Junior Brother Ye should still follow the Great Elder's arrangements and make some preparations. I heard that there are already level-eight or higher demon beasts appearing on the island, and they are killing the patrol disciples outside the island everywhere." The beautiful woman raised her eyebrows and asked sternly.

"That's right, level-eight demon beasts that have transformed have indeed appeared. They seem to want to clear our periphery before advancing on our palace; this is also their usual practice. However, there is one point that I am more concerned about!" The gray-haired elder's expression became solemn.

"Oh, Junior Brother Ye, just say whatever you have." The beautiful woman asked with her eyes shimmering.

"According to the news we received, this time, it seems that besides the Ice Wind of the Ice Sea being stirred up, the upper echelon of Ten Thousand Demon Valley didn't just send out that Green-Backed Old Wolf; there seem to be signs indicating that the Old Demon Che will also take action this time." After hesitating for a moment, the gray-haired elder said in an uncertain tone.

"Old Demon Che! That's impossible." The beautiful woman's calm expression changed drastically, and a solemn expression appeared between her brows.

"Senior Sister Liu, I also feel it's unlikely. But the several pieces of intelligence sent back by the spies we planted in Ten Thousand Demon Valley all indicate that this old demon really seems to have signs of taking action." The gray-haired elder sighed.

"Old Demon Che is a demon that has existed in the mortal world since ancient times and advanced to the Spirit Transformation stage countless years ago. If he really wanted to attack our Little Extreme Palace, why would he wait until today?" Bai Bai Yaoyi shook her head, looking unconvinced.

"That may be true, but during the sealing of Mount Mount Kunwu last time, I heard that not only did the Ancient Demon World Ancestor appear, but even the Upper World Demon Concubine appeared. Could it have something to do with this?" The gray-haired elder turned his head and stared at Bai Bai Yaoyi, asking.

"The matters of the Ancient Demon Ancestor and the Demon Concubine are only circulating among the major sects; no one knows if it's true or false, or who released the news. Although I participated in that matter that day, because I was seriously injured, I retreated halfway and could not distinguish the truth. By the way, Fellow Daoist Han Li insisted until the end, so he should know some details." Bai Bai Yaoyi thought for a while with her eyebrows furrowed and said so.

"Is it that man you invited!" The beautiful woman's eyes flashed, and she suddenly asked.

"That's right, it is indeed him!" Bai Bai Yaoyi nodded.

"Forget it, no matter what happened in Mount Mount Kunwu, the demons' invasion will not change. It's impossible for Old Demon Che to leave Ten Thousand Demon Valley in person. Most likely, he just sent his incarnation." The beautiful woman regained her composure in the blink of an eye and said coldly.

Bai Bai Yaoyi and the gray-haired elder also vaguely knew some secrets about Spirit Transformation stage cultivators. Seeing that their Senior Sister said so definitely, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
