Chapter 1269: Tiandong Trading Firm

Once the Golden Lustrous Sword was grabbed by the gloved hand, the light converged, but the sword body became increasingly cold and piercing. Net

Seeing this, Han Li remained calm on the surface, but he was truly surprised in his heart.

After putting on this glove, the knight in front of him could actually drive this so-called "spirit tool".

This overturned his long-held concept.

Although he had heard the Tian Lan Beast clone say that outstanding mortals in the Spirit World seemed to be able to confront cultivators, if this "spirit tool" was really something similar to a magic tool, mortals could also use it. This made him feel a bit horrified.

If so, wouldn't ordinary mortals have the ability to kill low-tier cultivators?

Han Li was surprised, but his expression didn't show it. The knight slashed at Han Li's wrist again with the short sword.

This time, the movement was clearly much heavier.

Han Li frowned and slowly urged his technique.

It was funny to say, the Bright King Art and the Vajra Art were the same technique, but the method was different. One used the spiritual power within one's own body to cultivate, while the other used external spiritual power to forcibly irrigate the body.

Han Li naturally adopted the Bright King Art method to cultivate, but now that he had no magic power in his body, he could only use the Vajra Art's mental method. Moreover, his Bright King Art hadn't just been cultivated to the third layer, but had long since been cultivated to the fourth layer with the assistance of the Bone Tempering Art and the Dragon Scale Fruit.

Relying on his physical body alone, if he didn't deliberately weaken the power of the Vajra Art, this Golden Lustrous Sword still couldn't hurt him at all.

As soon as the short sword came into contact with Han Li's wrist, the golden light paused slightly, and finally cut through the skin, and a wisp of fresh blood flowed out.

The knight hurriedly grabbed Han Li's other wrist, dipped his finger in the blood, and began to write several strange runes on the blood curse document.

As soon as these blood runes took shape, they strangely disappeared into the paper.

At this moment, the knight smiled at Han Li and said:

"Fellow Daoist, now you just need to think through the contract content, and finally express your agreement in your heart!"

Han Li's brows twitched, but he followed suit.

As a result, the blood curse document suddenly shone with blood light, and the runes seemed to come alive, flying out of the document and disappearing into Han Li and the knight.

As for the blood curse document itself, after a "puff" sound, it spontaneously ignited and turned into nothingness in a group of emerald flames.

"Haha, very good! Brother Han, from today on, you are a member of our Tiandong Trading Firm. Little Seven, go find a carriage. Brother Han's body is currently inconvenienced and cannot ride the giant wolf beast," the scarred man smiled, and his attitude toward Han Li became exceptionally kind.

The young man named Little Seven agreed and immediately drove the giant wolf under him toward the rear.

The scarred man chatted with Han Li with a smile and introduced himself.

Only then did Han Li know that the scarred man was named Zhang Kui, and he was the captain of an escort team of the Tiandong Trading Firm. This time, he was escorting a batch of valuable goods, and the goods were passing through this Qingluo Desert. The Qingluo Desert was not small, and just crossing from one end to the other would take the caravan a full month of rapid travel.

Just as the two were chatting, dust rose in the distance, and a behemoth came toward them. Little Seven was leading the way in front of the dust.

When they got close, Han Li saw clearly that it was a giant turtle four or five feet tall and seven or eight feet long.

On the turtle's back was a carriage made of green wood, and in front of the turtle shell was a seat, with a dark-skinned gray-robed old man sitting on it, seemingly a coachman.

The giant turtle stopped in front of the knights, and the carriage door opened on its own. A slender figure walked out, actually a sweet-looking girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old with a round face.

"Uncle Zhang, is this the person?" The girl scanned Han Li on the ground and asked with a smile.

"Miss Xiang'er! This Brother Han has already joined our trading firm, but his body is a bit inconvenienced. Other carriages have goods, so I have to trouble you girls," the scarred man was exceptionally polite to the girl.

"Oh, since he has joined our trading firm, he is not an outsider. It is only right to take care of him. Send him up," the girl smiled sweetly. Although she was young, she already showed a trace of a woman's charm.

The scarred man thanked her repeatedly, then waved his hand. Two knights jumped off the giant wolves, lifted Han Li by his head and legs, and sent Han Li to the carriage door through a hanging rope ladder.

The young girl's body swayed, and she flashed into the carriage first. Afterward, two knights also carried Han Li to the carriage door.

Han Li scanned and saw the entire carriage clearly.

The carriage space was very large, enough to seat more than ten people, but besides the previous green-robed girl, there were three other girls in the carriage, ranging from twelve or thirteen to sixteen or seventeen years old, but each one was outstanding in appearance, unlike ordinary people.

And besides a table and long benches fixed to the four sides, the carriage was empty. It appeared quite spacious.

No wonder the scarred man sent Han Li here.

Han Li was finally placed on a long bench in a corner of the carriage, with an unknown yellow beast skin underneath, furry and quite comfortable.

The two knights retreated honestly, not daring to look at the women in the carriage again.

Han Li was surprised, but he had experienced countless storms in the mortal world, so he naturally didn't show any strangeness. After smiling slightly at the women in the carriage, he closed his eyes to rest.

Although he had no magic power in his body and his meridians hadn't fully recovered, making it impossible to truly cultivate anything, he had spent several months in the desert, with scorching heat during the day and freezing cold at night, plus his body had been tossed around quite a bit, so he was indeed a bit tired mentally.

The four girls in the carriage naturally sized Han Li up with curious eyes at first, and whispered to each other, clearly discussing Han Li.

These girls spoke in extremely low voices, but at such a close distance, Han Li heard their words clearly with his extraordinary hearing.

"Sister Xiang'er, what injury does this person have that he can't move at all?"

"Who knows, but Uncle Zhang just said that he would let a cultivator in the caravan come over to take a look in a while."

"Tsk tsk, Uncle Zhang actually values this person so much? Those cultivators are not easily invited."

"I'm not sure, but Uncle Zhang said that this person seems to have great potential and is a rare talent. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent him to our sisters' carriage."

"Talent? Why don't I see it? This person looks very ordinary?"

Han Li seemed to turn a deaf ear to the girls' discussion, just lying quietly on the beast skin without moving.

At this moment, the giant turtle moved again, and although its speed was not slow, it was exceptionally steady. Han Li in the carriage could only feel a light rise and fall.

Not long after, the giant turtle stopped again.

Noisy sounds and talking sounds came from outside the carriage; the giant turtle seemed to have returned to the caravan ranks.

And after a loud shout from the scarred man, the entire caravan set off again.

Although Han Li was deep in the carriage and couldn't see the situation of the caravan personnel, there were clearly quite a few people, at least two or three hundred.

At this moment, the four girls discussed for a while, and seeing that Han Li had no reaction at all, they seemed to find it boring, changed the subject, and started talking about other things.

This time, the volume was increased, and they didn't avoid Han Li.

"I heard that this time, the goods our Tiandong Trading Firm is transporting are related to the safety of Anyuan City, which is why the Anyuan City Lord paid a sky-high price in spirit stones to hire our trading firm to transport this batch of goods from such a far place. Otherwise, our Tiandong Trading Firm generally wouldn't want to do business with such a remote small city like Anyuan City."

"However, why did the Madam go to Anyuan City first, not even taking the four of us, which is a bit strange."

"Hehe, you three don't know. This time the Madam went out personally, partly because the goods are important, and partly to welcome the Fifth Young Master home."

"Fifth Young Master. The Madam's own son who was sent to another place to cultivate more than ten years ago. Isn't it said that the Fifth Young Master has spiritual roots and has been accepted as a disciple by a cultivator? Why would he appear in Anyuan City?" An exclamation came, and the voice was exactly that of the girl named "Xiang'er".

"I'm not too sure about this either. I just heard the Madam talking to herself."

"I heard that this Fifth Young Master was very favored by the Madam and the Master when he was young because he had spiritual roots. If so, no wonder the Madam was so anxious to go first."

The girls chattered non-stop, while Han Li on the long bench remained calm, his chest rising and falling slightly, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Who is outside?" The blue-robed girl, who was the oldest and spoke the least, suddenly sank her face and questioned outside the carriage door.

The other three girls' expressions changed slightly.

And at this moment, a faint man's voice came from outside the carriage:

"Miss Liu'er, I am Nanchizi, entrusted by Patron Zhang to come and visit a Patron surnamed Han?"

"So it is Daoist Nanchizi. Liu'er is disrespectful. Daoist, please come in!" The blue-robed girl replied with a slightly softened expression, and subconsciously turned her head to look at a corner of the carriage.

As a result, the girl was startled!

Because at some point, Han Li had already opened his eyes, and as he tilted his head, he met her gaze, with a trace of a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, the green-robed girl named "Xiang'er" had already opened the carriage door, and outside the carriage stood a yellow-robed Daoist and a white-robed old man.

The Daoist was only thirty-odd years old, with green light flashing on his face, a sign that his magic power had reached a certain realm, while the white-robed old man had gray hair and a face full of wrinkles, looking exceptionally aged and trembling slightly.

"Eh, Elder Fu! Why are you here too?" Seeing the white-robed old man, the green-robed girl was startled, looking greatly surprised.
