Chapter 1355

Although the talismanic Dao recorded in the fragmentary pages is incomplete, it also documents the refining methods for four complete talismans.

The previously used "Taiji Transformation Clarity Talisman," the "Nine Palaces Heavenly Stem Talisman" refined through related contemplation to produce the Wanlong Pearl, and a talisman called the "Jia Yuan Talisman," a shadow puppet talisman.

The last talisman, however, is the sole attack talisman recorded in the fragmentary pages: the "Heavenly Halberd Talisman."

The Taiji Transformation Request Talisman is no problem; through the jade slip comprehended from that Lan Saint Beast avatar, Han Li has already grasped it roughly, although the success rate is extremely low, but as long as he is willing to spend large amounts of materials to refine it, he can still refine it.

The Nine Palaces Heavenly Stem Talisman was originally an immortal talisman used to trap enemies; he only comprehended half of it, so he could only rely on these comprehensions to develop simple magical tools like the Wanlong Pearl.

As for the latter two, the Jia Yuan Talisman and the Heavenly Halberd Talisman, previously there was not even a clue.

However, Han Li, while examining finished shadow puppet talismans in the market of Tian Yuan City, fortuitously grasped a key point of the Jia Yuan Talisman. With his considerable skill in puppet crafting, further study might yet allow him to truly comprehend something.

As long as that final one, the Heavenly Halberd Talisman, is a metal-natured attack talisman.

The record states that when this talisman is activated, it can manifest a blade of the Heavenly Halberd from the True Immortal Realm, its power so great it can split the earth and open the seas.

But this talisman is profoundly obscure, and Han Li, with only Spirit Transformation stage attainment, is truly at a loss, unable to "feel" his way in.

Han Li stroked the jade tablet with one hand, silently pondering in his heart.

Tian Yuan City has countless high-level cultivators, their magic power and supernatural abilities far surpassing his, and for self-preservation, he naturally believes the more backup plans he has, the better.

But unfortunately, most of the four talismans are not something he can currently refine. However, even the Taiji Transformation Clarity Talisman he can refine can deceive the senses of Void Refinement cultivators; if he could refine one or two more to carry, they would surely be of great use in special circumstances.

As for the remaining talismans, there is no need to rush; he can slowly comprehend and study them later.

Han Li thought thus, his wrist shook, and the azure glow on his storage bracelet blazed forth, sweeping toward the ground.

As the light retracted, suddenly numerous boxes and jade cases of various sizes appeared on the nearby ground, along with some bottles and jars.

Han Li made a grasping motion in the void toward the ground, and instantly a brocade box flew over.

Opening the box lid, inside was actually a piece of unknown animal hide of pale red color, but its surface flashed with spiritual light, clearly not an ordinary demon beast's hide at a glance.

Han Li, without even looking, tossed this small piece of animal hide into the air above his head, then opened his mouth.

With a "puchi" sound, a mass of azure-green spiritual light enveloped the animal hide.

He pinched hand seals, and the azure spiritual light instantly changed color, turning into crimson flames that surged upward.

A strange scene appeared.

The animal hide within the crimson flames did not immediately turn to ash, but instead emitted piercing spiritual light, and its surface gradually became crystalline and transparent.

At this moment, Han Li pointed his finger several times at the jade cases.

These cases immediately opened on their own, and from within flew out several streams of powder of various colors, which flashed and sank into the flames.

Instantly came a series of "crackling" sounds, as these powders transformed into various-colored spiritual light that adhered to the animal hide.

The surface of the transparent animal hide immediately began to flash with extraordinarily beautiful light.

Han Li's ten fingers continuously formed seals, yet his eyes remained expressionless as he closed them.

For a time, in the secret chamber, aside from the occasional sound of sparks bursting in the air, there was no other noise.

Thus, two months passed in a flash.

During this period, almost every few days, a muffled thunderous sound would inevitably come from the secret chamber. After repeating this more than ten times, it finally fell completely silent.

After another half month, the secret chamber door suddenly opened.

Han Li frowned slightly as he walked out from within, and without pausing, he hurried straight to the main hall.

In the main hall, the formation still emitted a faint spiritual light; the pale silver light curtain sprayed from the eight-trigram plate had dimmed considerably, and the light points displayed on it had become blurred.

Han Li glanced at it, then without hesitation replaced the high-grade spirit stones around the formation with a new batch, and reactivated the formation.

The eight-trigram plate emitted piercing silver light, and everything on the silver light curtain immediately became clearly visible.

Han Li swept his gaze across the light curtain, and his expression turned uncertain.

He saw that the four light points, which had been separated during the last observation, had now gathered together, and were located about four or five hundred li from his cave dwelling.

The reason he emerged from the secret chamber was twofold: first, he had finally succeeded in refining a Taiji Transformation Clarity Talisman; second, the gold-devouring insects he had sent out to monitor several people had inexplicably disappeared—whether they were trapped or slain by the opposing party, he did not know.

Previously, through the second Nascent Soul responsible for ripening spiritual herbs in his cave dwelling, Han Li had already known that these light points represented cultivators who had already been staying here for several days.

Could it be that they have already found their target?

Han Li's thoughts raced; after a moment, he suddenly sat cross-legged before the light curtain, silently gazing at the silver light curtain without speaking.

Thus, for three consecutive days, those light points remained in place, showing no sign of dispersion or movement.

Finally, on the morning of the fourth day, Han Li let out a soft sigh and rose to his feet.

It seems he cannot avoid going himself.

No matter what their purpose may be, but if they cause any trouble in his spiritual land, even if he hides in his cave dwelling, disaster might still descend from heaven.
