Chapter 1378

Han Li threw out four of the Lei Zhu he had refined himself in one breath.

After being condensed by the Leiwen Technique, each of these Lei Zhu was nearly equivalent to a full-powered strike from a Void Refinement cultivator, and since they were themselves lightning power, they could possess such astonishing power.

Now it seems this move was indeed not wrong.

If not for using this treasure to temporarily block the giant lizard and the thousand-eyed giant, even if he had teleported away, he would not have been able to escape the next moment.

Seeing the spirit fruit stolen, the giant lizard and the thousand-eyed giant were obviously enraged, but they were firmly trapped in place by the power of the Lei Zhu for a moment.

Seeing the power of the Lei Tuan, Long Dong and the young 'madam' and others were also greatly startled, but immediately delighted, they all fled by using escape techniques.

At the same time, he employed concealment escape techniques along the way, hiding his body and escape light.

Except for the Lei Tuan and the roars coming from within it, the spot was instantly empty of anyone.

Han Li further pushed his Fenglei Wings to the extreme, flashing madly several times in succession, and already appeared at the edge of the sky.

To be safe, Han Li even spat out a mouthful of essence blood and performed the Blood Shadow Escape secret technique, vanishing without a trace from the vicinity in an instant.

Thus, after the giant lizard and giant, who had struggled hard to free themselves, saw that everyone had completely vanished, though their angry roars filled the sky, they could not catch up to Han Li at all.

After several hours, at the peak of a stone mountain tens of thousands of li away, a low thunderclap sounded, and Han Li appeared in midair amidst crackling cyan-white electric arcs.

He turned his head to glance behind him, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Although this journey was somewhat dangerous and had consumed a bit of his vital energy, he had finally obtained the spirit fruit.

But to be cautious, Han Li released his divine sense to carefully search the vicinity of the stone mountain, and finding nothing abnormal, he then lowered his body and landed on the mountain peak.

He flipped his hand over, first taking out a jade bottle, pouring out two crimson-red pills, and casually popping them into his mouth.

Although his Blood Shadow Escape had only been activated once, being in a dangerous place, he still first took the spirit pill to compensate for the lost vital energy.

The pill melted upon entering his mouth, and immediately a stream of cool qi circulated through his meridians.

Han Li's expression relaxed, and then he moved his hand again, a crystal-clear ice-like jade box appearing in his hand.

He lightly lifted the lid, revealing a string of purple berries, each the size of a fist, extraordinarily vivid.

He stared at the spirit fruit without blinking, then used two fingers to gently pick up one of the spirit fruits and examined it closely.

After a while, Han Li let out a long breath.

Not bad, it is indeed the Zhi Long fruit! This spirit fruit is one of the few remaining seed varieties among Void Refinement-level spirit medicines, repeatedly cultivated to maturity. It is one of the spirit medicines he had long been paying attention to.

Otherwise, how could he have willingly taken such a strange risk?

Now that the spirit medicine is in hand, Han Li's mouth corner curled up; a hint of a smile appeared.

As long as he finds another strange object called 'Tengyun Jiao', combining the two with other auxiliary medicinal ingredients, he can refine the Tenglong Dan that would make even Void Refinement cultivators drool.

Han Li secretly pondered in his heart, and his eyes involuntarily flashed with excitement.

But just then, his brows furrowed, he suddenly turned his head to glance in a certain direction at the edge of the sky, and his expression instantly returned to calm.

Moments later, a sound of breaking through the air came from the horizon, and a white rainbow shot forth.

After a few flashes, the white rainbow suddenly arrived above Han Li's head, its light converged, and revealed a young man.

It was Long Dong.

At this moment, the set of yellow scale armor on his body had vanished without a trace, but after his gaze swept over the spirit fruit in Han Li's hand, he showed a look of great joy.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Han indeed has astonishing escape techniques, actually bringing this object here safely. Let me take a look, is this fruit truly the Zhi Long fruit?"

The youth with a blood mole said, his body flickered, and he landed on the mountain peak, as if wanting to approach.

"Long Brother, there's no need to rush, it's better to wait for the other fellow Daoists to arrive, then examine it carefully." Han Li smiled faintly, the spirit light in his hand flashed, and the jade box vanished.

"Ah... Fellow Daoist Han is right, I, Long, was just too eager." Long Dong heard this, his expression changed, a fleeting hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes, but then he recalled something, and his expression returned to normal.

So he walked away with a smile a few steps, and sat cross-legged in a relaxed manner on a mountain rock more than ten zhang away from Han Li.

Han Li stood in place, hands clasped behind his back, silently waiting for the others.

After waiting the time it takes to eat a meal, the white-browed youth and the young 'madam' arrived together, and upon hearing that Han Li had truly obtained the spirit fruit, they were equally overjoyed.

However, before everyone had gathered, they similarly could only suppress their excitement, sitting quietly aside. Waiting silently for the last person to arrive.

After waiting a full quarter of an hour, everyone had some doubts in their hearts, and with Long Dong's expression already slightly changed, they saw a cluster of golden light shooting from the horizon, which after circling once, stopped above everyone.

"Sorry for keeping you all waiting. As I passed through a dense forest, I unintentionally discovered a ten-thousand-year-old Biling Wood, and spent some extra effort to uproot it completely."

The white-robed girl said with a soft 'yin yin' laugh, then her escape light flashed, and she also descended.

"Ten-thousand-year Biling Wood? That is top-tier wood-attribute material for refining artifacts, Fellow Daoist, you have quite good fortune." Xiao Hong expressed some surprise.

"Hehe, Xiao Sister is really joking. Compared to the Zhi Long fruit, a mere section of Biling Wood is nothing. Han Brother, have you obtained the spirit fruit?" The white-robed girl laughed lightly, her gaze shifted, and fell upon Han Li.

"Indeed obtained, Fellow Daoists may first take a look." Han Li remained expressionless, nodded slightly, flicked his hand toward his storage bracelet, the jade box reappeared, and he opened the lid and gently lifted it with his hand.

Smelling the faint fragrance, everyone's eyes instantly focused on this string of spirit fruit, and several strands of divine sense surrounded the fruit as they carefully examined it.

"Should be genuine, it really is that spirit medicine." Xiao Hong's face flashed with joy, and she was the first to make a judgment.

After a moment, the remaining few people withdrew their divine sense, nodded in turn, and showed looks of satisfaction.

"Alright, since the item is genuine, let us divide it among us. However, this string of Longzhi fruit probably has about six pieces, so even if each person takes one, there will still be one extra that is hard to divide." Han Li glanced at the jade box, and replied calmly.

Upon hearing Han Li's words, everyone frowned in their hearts.

"Six spirit fruits are indeed not easy to divide, but let's put this matter aside for now, first distribute each person's due one fruit, then talk about it." The white-browed youth, however, seemed a bit impatient.

"What Brother Li said is exactly right! Fellow Daoist Han, please first distribute the other spirit fruits to us." Xiao Hong also agreed with a soft 'yin yin' laugh.

Long Dong and the white-robed girl naturally had no objections.

Seeing this, Han Li smiled faintly.

He held the jade box with one hand, flashed forward to Xiao Hong the demoness, and with two fingers gently lifted, plucked one Zhi Long fruit and handed it to the young 'madam' opposite.

The young 'madam' was overjoyed, immediately took out a wooden box, intending to receive this spirit fruit.

But Han Li held the spirit fruit without letting go, merely smiling meaningfully at this woman without speaking.

The young 'madam' was slightly startled, but then suddenly understood.

Immediately, she flicked her sleeve, and a golden-colored small sword with two talismans attached appeared in her hand. She tore off the talismans and threw it over directly.

This was Han Li's Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword!

Han Li inhaled, and the small sword turned into a streak of Jin Guang that vanished into his mouth.

At the same time, he relaxed his fingers, and the spirit fruit steadily fell into the wooden box of the young 'madam'.

While Xiaohong checked the spirit fruit in her hand with a delighted 'expression', Han Li had already flickered to the other side and handed another spirit fruit to the white-browed youth before him.

This demon cultivator, having witnessed the earlier scene, naturally knew what to do; without waiting for Han Li to speak, he likewise released the restriction on another small sword and tossed it to Han Li.

In this manner, in the blink of an eye, Han Li was left with only two spirit fruits in his hand.

Han Li put one of them away properly, then placed the jade box on the ground among the crowd and stepped aside to coldly observe.

To him, one such spirit 'medicine' was enough; more would be of no great use.

But his sensible action left the young 'madam' and others stunned, and their gazes toward him softened involuntarily.

"There is still one spirit fruit left; why not bid for it? Whoever offers the most spirit stones gets it, and the spirit stones bid will be evenly divided among the other fellow Daoists." Long Dong lightly coughed and made the proposal.

"Hmph, Fellow Daoist Long's such a clever scheme is too good to be true. Who doesn't know that the Long family is rich and powerful? The four of us combined probably don't carry as many spirit stones as you do." The white-browed youth coldly snorted, his 'expression' darkening as he refused.

"Oh, then do you have any better idea?" The blood-mark youth asked with a smile, not angered.

"Those who want this fruit should naturally exchange goods for it. Whether spirit pills or materials, as long as what is produced is enough to be divided among the others and the value is roughly equal, only then can one take this last spirit fruit. Do several of you find my words reasonable?" Xiaohong brushed her forehead's blue silk with a finger, smiling charmingly.

The white-browed youth nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

The white-robed maiden tilted her head in thought, then also indicated agreement by a slight turn of her eyes.

Han Li had no objection either.

"Fairy Xiaohong's words also make sense; then let us follow her advice." Although Long Dong was unwilling in his heart, seeing that the other four agreed, he could only force a smile and agree.

After an hour, a ten-plus-zhang-long azure 'color' flying carriage appeared high above Shishan, then trembled and transformed into a streak of azure light that shot far away in escape.

In a few breaths' time, the flying carriage appeared several hundred zhang away, then flashed wildly a few times before vanishing without a trace.

Han Li sat in the rear of the flying carriage, idly playing with a small section of greenish round wood.

This wood was only about a chi in length, but its surface was crystalline and its whole body emitted a faint spiritual light; upon close inspection, faint silver 'color' spiritual threads could be seen flickering incessantly within.

"Biling Wood, this thing takes a long time to mature; perhaps it might still be of great use." Han Li thought calmly.
