Chapter 1176
Han Li focused his gaze and saw it was that mass of transparent stuff and that black eyeball.
"Why, have you recognized them, fellow Daoist Tianlan?"
"How did you obtain these two things, fellow Daoist Han? Tell me first." The boy glanced at Han Li and asked somewhat suspiciously.
"One I obtained from a fire tripod that had been burning for I don't know how many years, and the other is the demon eye of a three-eyed demon beast." Han Li did not hide it and spoke slightly about it.
"Then that's right, it is indeed as I thought." The boy revealed an expression of 'as expected', then first weighed the transparent gelatinous stuff and said:
"The thing in the fire tripod is called Fire Spirit Silk, the best material for refining fire-attribute Battle Spirit Armor; it is rarely seen even in the Spirit Realm. Its body is a more rare yin-attribute mineral. If it is calcined in intense fire for many years and, by a stroke of luck, is not melted, this material can be formed," the boy said with a smile.
"Fire Spirit Silk!" Han Li looked at the gelatinous stuff in the boy's hand, a strange look appearing on his face.
Although he had heard of this thing for the first time, no matter how he looked at it, it had nothing to do with any 'spirit silk'.
"Its current appearance is naturally not the final form of Fire Spirit Silk; it requires a cultivator proficient in fire-attribute techniques to condense this thing into silk. Hehe, you cannot do it. And Fire Spirit Silk itself is actually a rare treasure; it can be used as a material, or it can be directly driven and refined, and its power is not even inferior to an ordinary flying sword. But what is strange is that this kind of Fire Spirit Silk should be pale blue, but your piece is semi-transparent, which seems a bit different from what I remember," the boy looked somewhat hesitant.
"Oh, generally speaking, how long does it need to be melted to obtain this thing?" Han Li thought of something, and his expression moved.
"The reason this material is rarely seen is that the refining time is too long. A hundred years at the least, several hundred years at the most. Generally speaking, the longer the time, the smaller the volume of this material, and the more refined it becomes," the boy explained.
"So that's how it is!" A look of realization flashed through Han Li's eyes.
"Why, did you think of something?" The boy stared at Han Li and asked strangely.
"Nothing, tell me about the other thing." Han Li smiled indifferently, looking noncommittal, his gaze falling on that eyeball.
The boy was silent for a moment, but ultimately did not pursue the matter further, instead glancing at the black eyeball and saying indifferently:
"The origin of this thing is huge; even I am somewhat tempted when I see it. Unfortunately, only a wisp of my divine sense has descended to this realm, and the attributes of this thing conflict with mine; the benefits of cultivating it are limited, but it could damage my divine sense."
"This eyeball has such a huge background?" Han Li was startled upon hearing the boy's words, but was somewhat skeptical. When he killed that three-eyed demon beast, although he felt this demon eye had some divine abilities, it was far from the level the Tianlan Saint Beast spoke of.
"Hmph, what do you know. You know about true spirits of heaven and earth like the True Dragon and Qilin, right?" The boy let out a disdainful snort.
"This is naturally known. Although our mortal world has long since lacked such true spirits of heaven and earth, there are many records of them. Could it be that the owner of this thing is related to these true spirits?" Han Li was truly somewhat surprised.
"Although it is not, it is about the same. This is the third demon eye of a fierce beast called the 'Cilie', which is a mortal enemy of the True Dragon and is also famous in the Spirit Realm. This beast has three heads and five tails, and the middle head only has one eye, which is this 'Destruction Demon Eye'. It is said that the Cilie beast never opens this eye, but once opened, it can directly tear space and annihilate enemies invisibly. Of course, if only this demon eye remains, it naturally does not have such great divine abilities, but after being cultivated by others using secret techniques, it can also manipulate some strange magic techniques to directly attack enemies, and it can see through most illusions and escape techniques; even the technique of instant movement cannot escape the lock of this eye. Therefore, some cultivators who cultivate similar 'Heavenly Eye' techniques view this demon eye as a supreme treasure and try every possible way to obtain it," the boy said with exceptional solemnity.
Han Li gasped upon hearing this, staring blankly at the demon eye in the boy's hand, somewhat speechless.
"If it were truly the Destruction Demon Eye of a pure Cilie beast, its value would not be far behind the Golden Que Jade Book. But this Destruction Demon Eye of yours does not look very pure. It seems the three-eyed demon beast you annihilated was not a true Cilie beast, but a variant demon beast that inherited part of the Cilie beast's bloodline. And this eye had not yet fully formed before you plucked it. Hehe, in this way, I really don't know whether to say you are lucky or to pity you," the boy said with a 'tsk tsk'.
"What does this mean?" Han Li's eyes flashed with light as he asked.
"Very simple. If it were the demon eye of an adult Cilie beast, with your current cultivation, wanting to cultivate the Destruction Demon Eye would naturally be a dream. But since it is an immature demon eye, it is worth a try. However, the power would naturally be far inferior to the former. And this demon eye is not produced by a true Cilie beast, so I fear it also has some deviations from the original divine abilities of the Destruction Demon Eye," the boy said seriously.
"Could it be that the divine abilities of this variant demon beast's eye are far inferior to the Destruction Demon Eye?" Han Li's gaze flickered.
"Generally speaking, this is the case, but there are exceptions. I remember the Burning Heaven Demon King of the Nine Spirit Mountains in the Spirit Realm seems to have inherited some of the Fire Qilin's bloodline, but the true fire divine abilities inherited are even avoided by the true Spirit Fire Qilin. However, such things are very rare. But if I remember correctly, you seem to intend to use a space node to sneak into the Spirit Realm. If so, you must cultivate this Destruction Demon Eye," the boy smiled ambiguously.
"Why?" Han Li's eyebrows moved, somewhat surprised.
He had long ago asked this Spirit Realm demon race member about the space node matter without hesitation. But unfortunately, the other party was also descending to the mortal world for the first time and knew very little about it. Now that he suddenly mentioned this beast, Han Li was naturally somewhat strange.
"Although the Cilie beast cannot forcibly shuttle through space gaps like the Wandering Heaven Kunpeng and the Luo Hou beast, the divine abilities it possesses can also weaken the power between realms. As for how much it can truly weaken, it naturally depends on the situation of cultivating this eye and the divine abilities of the demon eye itself," the boy said unhurriedly.
"Does this demon eye truly have this ability?" Han Li was truly moved.
"Hehe! Once the Dharma Eye is successfully cultivated, you will naturally know the truth of it. Does this old man have any reason to deceive you?" The boy said in an old-fashioned tone.
Han Li was silent upon hearing this and pondered.
And seeing this, the boy smiled slightly, just playing with the two things in his hand, letting Han Li think carefully.
"Not to mention these two things, does fellow Daoist Tianlan also recognize the other two materials?" When Han Li raised his head again, his expression had actually calmed down, and he instead asked about the other things. It seemed he had completely put the Destruction Demon Eye matter behind him.
Seeing this situation, a flash of surprise passed through the boy's eyes, but he replied indifferently:
"Those three crystals are Li Meng Crystals; although they are somewhat strange, they can only be used to refine some magic tools that release illusions, and they are of no use to us ordinary cultivators. But as far as I know, there was a Heavenly Illusion Sect in the Spirit Realm that once offered a sky-high price to acquire these crystals, but I don't know why they canceled it soon after. Therefore, whether these crystals have any other wonderful uses, this old man does not know. After all, these crystals are not common things. And that black-and-white demon core, this old man's eyes are clumsy and I cannot recognize what kind of demon beast's inner core it is. But the attributes seem very strange; I don't know if you, fellow Daoist, can describe the appearance of that demon beast."
"The appearance of that demon beast was somewhat strange..." Han Li frowned, recalling the demon beast that looked like a pile of rotten meat that he killed in the lake in the Fallen Demon Valley that day, and began to describe it slowly...
After listening to Han Li's description, the boy pondered for a while, then shook his head after a long time.
"I have never heard of a similar demon beast; it is probably some kind of variant demon beast. But from what you said, this beast did not have much divine ability, and I estimate the demon core is of little use," he said decisively.
"But that demon beast had some divine abilities in restraining its aura; perhaps this beast's inner core can be used for refining," Han Li said thoughtfully, then grabbed into the void with one hand, and immediately that black-and-white demon core shot into his palm. After turning it slightly, bursts of black-and-white aura were emitted, but they were clearly distinct and exceptionally vivid.
"How about this, to make up for the loss of your Wind-Thunder Wings, I can teach you the method of refining Fire Spirit Silk and refining the Destruction Demon Eye, but whether you are truly willing to refine these two things, or whether you can succeed, is no longer for this old man to consider. What do you think, fellow Daoist Han?" "Perhaps." The boy stopped paying attention to this demon core, instead narrowed his eyes and stared at Han Li, asking tentatively after hesitating.
"Good, I will follow your words, fellow Daoist Tianlan." Han Li did not consider it at all and actually agreed in one breath, as if he were waiting for this promise from the boy.
The boy was startled, but then understood something. With a look of depression, his body flickered, and his figure collapsed and disappeared.
The two things in his hand fell directly beside the tripod.
Han Li grabbed into the void with one hand, immediately taking both the transparent thing and the black eyeball into his hand.
And almost at the same time, the sound of the Tianlan Saint Beast's voice transmission suddenly came to his ears; it was exactly the incantation for refining these two things.
Han Li felt a chill in his heart, immediately collected his mind, and sat motionless, silently memorizing it.
Half a day later, in a pavilion under a mountain peak within the Falling Cloud Sect, several Foundation Establishment stage stewards were gathered together, counting various materials in a pile of storage bags. Suddenly, a streak of red light flashed and flew into the pavilion, circled in the air, and landed in the hand of one of the blue-robed cultivators, bursting after a 'Puchi' sound.
A jade slip and a token fell out from the flames.
That blue-robed steward was quick-eyed and grabbed both things in his hand. After lowering his head and carefully looking at the token, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly plunged both hands into the fireball.
After a while, the fireball disappeared into the void with a "Boom" sound, but the blue-robed cultivator's expression became increasingly solemn.
