Chapter 1573

After stroking the yellow imprint with his fingers for a while, Han Li lowered his arm, pondered for a moment, then took out several kinds of pills and swallowed them.

Although he was very interested in the Blazing Yang Pill and the woman described its effects as miraculous, he would certainly not place all his hopes on it.

Not long after, he closed his eyes again and entered meditation.

Two days later, a white cloud flew from the edge of the sky, and on it stood the woman and the girl Zhuzhu.

The girl still carried the yellow great bow and three white bone arrows on her back, while the woman now held a crimson-red jade box in her hand.

After a short while, the two arrived above the courtyard and hovered motionless.

"Does that person live here? It seems he has set up restrictions. Hmph, this person actually doesn't relax his guard against us." Zhuzhu blinked her beautiful eyes, curiously observing the few wooden houses below, her gaze immediately settling on the one enveloped in white light, and she let out a nasal snort.

"Han Sir's magic power is impaired, and we have no deep connection, so it's not strange that he would do this. If this place were the same as when I left, with no restrictions at all, I would find it rather odd." The woman chuckled lightly, but showed no concern.

Immediately, she drove the white cloud, and the two descended lightly.

"Han Senior, I have brought the Blazing Yang Pill. I hope Sir will grant me an audience!" The woman bowed toward the door and transmitted her voice softly.

"So it's Fire Daoist Fellow; Han Mou is unable to rise to greet you, Daoist Fellow, please come in." A man's voice sounded faintly from within the house.

As the words fell, a white light curtain flashed and suddenly dissipated for no reason, while the door slowly opened.

Seeing this, the woman no longer hesitated and immediately led the girl forward, entering the house.

"Eh, this is……" Upon entering the house and glancing around, the woman's complexion suddenly changed slightly, revealing a look of surprise.

At one end of the wooden bed in the house, two "Han Li" sat side by side—one smiling and gazing at them, the other expressionless with eyes tightly closed.

The girl was also startled, her face showing suspicion as she glanced twice at the two "Han Li," unsure whether she had seen anything.

"Please sit, Daoist Fellow; who is this?" The awake Han Li pointed to a chair beside him, then glanced at the girl, revealing a hint of inquiry.

"This is my daughter Bai Zhuzhu, who has been cultivating outside and only returned to the clan two days ago." The woman replied with a hint of respect, and after sweeping her spiritual sense over the two Han Li, she was secretly startled in her heart.

Although one of the two "Han Li" had a weak aura and the other a stronger one, she could not discern either's cultivation realm. Moreover, their attire and appearance were absolutely identical!

This made the woman secretly feel a creepy sensation in her heart.

Although she had heard of the external incarnation technique, it was certainly not something a minor branch clan priestess like her could learn.

But just this point alone was enough to confirm that the opponent's divine abilities were certainly not ordinary. Whether to let the girl proceed with further probing made her hesitate.

At this moment, the girl took a graceful step forward, bowed deeply to "Han Li," and said with a sweet smile:

"Zhuzhu heard from her mother that a senior from the upper clan has arrived in the clan, so she came specially to pay her respects. I hope the senior will not blame me!"

"So you are the daughter of Fire Daoist Fellow; though young, you already possess such cultivation—truly delightful and commendable!" The awake Han Li chuckled, casually offering two words of praise.

"Not at all! My daughter's meager cultivation is nothing in the senior's eyes. By the way, I don't know if the senior is accustomed to staying here; if there is anything unsuitable, please say so—I will immediately arrange another place for the senior." The woman temporarily set aside her hesitation, speaking with a smile.

"The spiritual energy here is quite good; no need for such trouble! Is the object in your hand precisely the Blazing Yang Divine Pill?" "Han Li" said without further ado, staring intently at the crimson-red jade box in the woman's hand, showing considerable interest.

"Indeed, it is! This pill was refined by my clan's first-generation Grand Priestess after she beheaded a …… in the nearby sea." The woman held up the jade box, laughing as she admitted it, and began to introduce the pill's origin.

Although Han Li felt slightly strange in his heart, he remained expressionless and listened quietly.

At this moment, the girl's eyes flashed with a sly gleam; the two palms hidden in her sleeves suddenly had one holding an unusually verdant green leaf, while the other pinched a strange hand seal.

Instantly, an intangible spiritual force, mysterious in nature, silently surged toward the two Han Li.

The reactions of the two Han Li were completely different!

The "Han Li" with tightly closed eyes remained utterly still, as if utterly unaware.

But the girl felt that the spiritual sense activated by her secret technique, upon landing on Han Li, seemed to fall upon a dead object—indeed, she detected no spiritual fluctuation whatsoever on him.

The girl's heart gave a start, and she couldn't help but feel strange.

This situation either meant the opponent possessed an inconceivable secret technique capable of completely shielding her spiritual sense, or the opponent was truly just an empty shell of a flesh body.

Before she could figure out what was happening, the result of probing the other "Han Li" made the girl's complexion change drastically; she suddenly opened her mouth several times, her face turning deathly pale.

As soon as her spiritual sense neared the other's body, it seemed to enter a great vortex, and all her spiritual sense involuntarily plunged into the opponent's body.

How could this not startle the snake-girl into having her soul fly out? She hastily withdrew the secret technique and frantically retracted her spiritual sense.

The spiritual sense that seemed impossible to retrieve was actually withdrawn by her with ease, and suffered no hindrance whatsoever.

This made the girl startle again!

At this moment, the "Han Li" who had been speaking with the girl glanced sideways and revealed a smile-not-smile expression toward the girl.

Seeing this, the girl opened her cherry-small mouth, somewhat at a loss. She looked extremely flustered!

The woman seemed utterly unaware of all this, and continued to introduce the Blazing Yang Divine Pill's properties and some usage taboos to Han Li, then handed the crimson jade box to "Han Li."

"Han Li" straightened his expression, thanked her, then with one hand lowered, received the jade box into his hand.

Afterward, the woman did not linger further, quite sensibly bidding farewell, and pulled the still-startled girl back as they retreated from the house.

"Wailing Soul, you're interesting—why did you scare that girl for no reason?" The "Han Li" with tightly closed eyes, after the woman and girl had retreated, suddenly opened his eyes and said lightly.

Then he waved one hand, and instantly the entire wooden house exterior was once again enveloped in white light.

"Master! This girl has guts—though she is at the Core Formation stage, she dared to probe your spiritual sense. Naturally, she must be made to know difficulty and retreat!" The other "Han Li" chuckled in reply.

Immediately, this "Han Li" flashed black light on his body, his form shrank, and he transformed into a jet-black little monkey.

The little monkey leapt onto Han Li's shoulder, and somewhat flatteringly held up the jade box before Han Li's eyes.

Han Li smiled and shook his head, said nothing more, and took the jade box.

After Wailing Soul had its spiritual intelligence initially opened in the Abyssal City, and gradually digested and understood the various knowledge classics infused into its spiritual sense, it transformed into his likeness, and thus became increasingly indistinguishable from the real thing.

Opening the jade box lightly! A burst of red glow appeared, followed by a scorching heat that greeted him, making him feel as if he stood beside a baking oven.

Han Li was not startled but delighted; he focused his gaze.

Only to see within the red light a thumb-sized round bead, flashing with dazzling red light.

"This is the Blazing Yang Divine Pill, indeed somewhat extraordinary." Han Li murmured, extended two fingers, and calmly reached into the jade box to grasp it.

A soft "puchi" sound!

The moment the bead neared the two fingers, it suddenly burst forth a cluster of red flames, instantly enveloping what Han Li held in his hand.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, this would likely have burned him badly by this strange fire.

However, with Han Li's current physical strength, he naturally regarded this flame as nothing. Not even a trace of red swelling or burn appeared on his fingers as he pinched the red 'color' bead in his hand.

The Weeping Soul Beast crouched on Han Li's shoulder, its pair of jet-black eyes also fixed on the bead rolling incessantly, as if it too was greatly curious about this elixir.

After Han Li stared at the elixir with a flickering gaze for a while, a contemplative 'color' appeared on his face.

If what that 'woman' said is true, then this elixir's fire 'nature' is overly domineering; taking it would not only involve many complicated steps, but also one careless mistake could easily lead to a backlash from the 'medicinal' 'nature', resulting in *** occurrences.

It would be best to use a large amount of cold-attribute spirit pills and spirit 'medicines' to first neutralize this elixir's 'medicinal' 'nature', then take it.

However, he clearly sensed the extreme fire power within this elixir, which was truly formidable; to waste it like this would indeed be a pity.

Having thought this, Han Li opened his mouth without hesitation and spat out a ball of silver 'color' fire.

It was precisely the Spirit-Devouring Heavenly Fire!

This fire made a 'bang' sound and instantly transformed into a fist-sized silver 'color' firebird, circling Han Li several times.

Han Li raised his eyebrow, moved his finger slightly, and the crimson bead in his hand slowly flew out.

The silver 'color' firebird immediately let out a clear cry from its beak, spread its wings, and then immediately pounced onto the bead.

In the next moment, the silver 'color' flames completely enveloped the Yang Yang Divine Elixir within.

……

On the other side, in the sky tens of li away from Wan Xiaoshan, the 'woman' and the maiden rode the white clouds, fleeing swiftly.

Suddenly, Bai Guang flashed, and the clouds slowed down.

"Zhu'er, is your divine sense unharmed!" the 'woman' sighed lightly and asked.

"Mother, I'm fine. I just got a little frightened." The maiden, obviously still somewhat frightened, forced a smile and said.

"It's good that you're unharmed! Judging by this, this 'Han Mr.' truly possesses great supernatural powers. If so, giving him the Yang Yang Divine Elixir would not be a waste." The 'woman' did not press the maiden about what exactly she had experienced, but instead spoke with a relaxed 'color'.

"Well, although I haven't detected anything specific, this endurance does indeed have some methods. But Mother, how will you resolve the loss of your lifespan?" The maiden then became somewhat sorrowful.

"Hehe, as the Grand Priest of the clan, spending some lifespan to save the clan from a great calamity—what is there to be dissatisfied with? Our clan's ability to stand here is also thanks to the protection of generations of Grand Priests. And among the clan's Grand Priests, how many can truly die a natural death? Alright, let's hurry back and prepare. Hope this 'Han Mr.' can quickly absorb the divine elixir's power, so he can lend us a hand." The 'woman' smiled lightly and said indifferently.

"But..." The maiden's eyes turned red, still wanting to say something.

But the 'woman' seemed unwilling to say more; she pinched a seal with both hands, and after the white clouds beneath her feet flipped over, they immediately enveloped both of them.

Immediately, the white clouds transformed into a ball of Bai Guang that shot out; after a while, they vanished without a trace at the horizon's end.
