It was very simple inside, with a small door that divided the originally rectangular room into inner and outer parts. 【Web】

The outer room was larger and was clearly a living room; apart from some simple tables and chairs and a set of tea sets, it was empty.

Han Li swept his spiritual sense over these things and discovered that the materials used were also quite rare, but for him, they were useless, so his footsteps did not stop at all, and he flashed into the bedroom inside.

There were slightly more things in this room.

Apart from a pale green jade bed, there was also a rectangular desk, on which were placed a few writing brushes, a pale red inkstone, and a stack of snow-white thin silk-like things.

Han Li's eyebrows stirred, and he walked to the desk, grabbing those writing brushes and the inkstone to play with them for a moment, but then shook his head and put them down.

But then he reached out and grabbed those thin silks, and with a flick, gently unfolded them.

As a result, they were all empty of words!

There was nothing unusual on Han Li's face; he put the thin silks back to their original place, and after carefully sweeping his spiritual sense through the room again to confirm that there was truly no omission, he turned and walked away without hesitation.

He had originally not expected to have any great harvest in a place that looked like a residence for disciples, so he naturally would not linger here for long.

Moreover, there were still more than a dozen such rooms, and with time being so tight, it was impossible to look at each one too carefully.

Just like this, Han Li searched through the dozen or so rooms rapidly.

As a result, apart from obtaining a few jade slips recorded in some unknown ancient script, there was no other harvest.

These jade slips were placed casually by the bedside of one of the bedrooms, and they were mostly not important things.

Han Li also collected them casually, planning to wait until later, in case he figured out the origin of these ancient scripts, to see if he could obtain some useful information from them.

After all, he was still very curious about everything in the True Immortal Realm.

He took the puppet, returned to the main hall, and flashed into the side door on the other side.

Similarly, after passing through a section of the corridor, Han Li arrived in front of another row of neatly arranged houses.

These houses were completely different from the previous side chambers; each room was square, had only one small door, and had no windows at all.

And all the rooms were completely isolated, separated from each other by a full ten zhang.

What made Han Li's heart jump even more was that the surface of these square houses was all flashing with silver light, and they were actually covered with pale silver runes.

It was exactly the Silver Tadpole Script that he was extremely familiar with.

Han Li stared at these houses for a while before finally confirming that these rooms were actually secret chambers specifically for cultivation.

This discovery made his heart feel slightly happy.

Since they were secret chambers, there might be something left behind by the people from before inside.

However, looking at the silver runes densely engraved on the surface of the small door, his expression became a bit more solemn.

Generally speaking, the magic arrays arranged in places like secret chambers should mostly be small restrictions like soundproofing and anti-peeping. But having had that terrible encounter at the main hall door earlier, he naturally would not truly let his guard down.

But this time, he did not let the giant ape puppet test anything, but after laying down a few more layers of protection on his body, he flicked his sleeve directly at the stone door of a secret chamber.

A small azure sword shot out, and with a flash, it turned into a zhang-long azure rainbow, slashing fiercely at the secret chamber door.

He had actually prepared to use brute force to forcibly break the restriction on the door without saying a word.

The secret chamber door shone with silver light, and a clear ringing sound echoed from inside.

That silver light looked ordinary, but the Green Bamboo Cloud Swarm Sword was actually blocked by force. The sword light slashed onto the silver light, as if it had slashed onto the surface of water, and it was unable to break through for a moment, only able to slowly wear down this spiritual light bit by bit.

Seeing this, Han Li felt relieved.

It was indeed as expected; the restriction on the door was not a counter-attack type, and it was mostly a very low-tier small restriction even in the Immortal Realm.

Thinking about it, it was also true. For these dozen or so side-by-side cultivation secret chambers, how could there truly be any too powerful restrictions on them?

He did not hesitate to flip one hand, and a pitch-black small mountain several inches tall appeared, which he tossed in front of him.

With a "Boom!"

The small mountain turned into a zhang in size amidst the black light and smashed fiercely onto the silver light.

This time, the restriction on the door was clearly unable to withstand such great force, and immediately after the clear ringing sound paused, the silver light dissipated and disappeared.

With a flash of azure light, the room door was forcibly cut into two halves by the sword light and fell to the sides.

Han Li put away the treasure and walked in with big strides.

This so-called secret chamber was only seven or eight zhang large, and it was extremely empty inside; apart from a meditation cushion also woven from "Armor Grass," there was nothing else.

As a result, there was no need to sweep this place with spiritual sense at all.

Han Li could only sigh slightly, and after casually collecting the meditation cushion, he retreated from this secret chamber.

There were still many such secret chambers, so he was not truly disappointed!

Using the same method, after breaking open another stone door, he walked in again.

But after a moment, he walked out empty-handed.

Just like this, Han Li broke open six secret chambers in one breath, but it seemed his bad luck was high, and he still gained nothing.

This made Han Li secretly call it bad luck in his heart, while at the same time, he didn't have much expectation for the remaining secret chambers.

But when, with a loud "Boom," the seventh secret chamber was also broken open, and after he walked into it, he let out a soft sound of surprise, and his eyes suddenly shone brightly.

This secret chamber was actually very different from the previous few.

The room not only had complete tables and chairs, but there were also three jade boxes of different sizes and two small bottles on the table. The most eye-catching thing was a golden, shining picture hanging on a wall.

The surface of this picture shone with golden light, and he was unable to see clearly what was drawn on it for a moment.

When Han Li closed his eyes slightly and opened them again after a moment, his pupils flashed with blue light, and he finally looked at the picture clearly without fearing the golden light, but his expression was stunned.

He saw that the picture was densely packed with countless golden flying swords that looked exactly the same.

These flying swords had different postures, some big and some small; the big ones were like giant swords supporting the sky, actually giving him a terrible feeling of being tens of zhang long, while the small ones were only an inch long, but one look at them, and even the patterns on the swords could be seen clearly, as if they were right in front of his eyes.

And with so many golden swords in the picture, logically speaking, it should appear extremely messy, making it impossible to distinguish one from another. But looking at this picture, every flying sword was lifelike, and they all had different auras, making one see a thousand differences at a glance.

Such a strange Ten Thousand Sword Picture made Han Li's heart happy, and his eyes stared fixedly at this picture, his figure motionless.

After only a moment, Han Li suddenly let out a muffled groan and retreated a few steps, as if he had been hit by some invisible force. But immediately he turned his head and moved his gaze rapidly away from the picture, not daring to look at it at all.

At the same time, an abnormal flush appeared on his face.

"What powerful spiritual sense power, it is actually the same as having been slashed by a flying sword. If it weren't for the fact that I am proficient in flying sword techniques and my spiritual sense is not weak, this blow just now would probably have caused great damage to my spiritual sense." After the spiritual power in Han Li's body circulated crazily through his meridians a few times, his body was fine, but his face still had a look of horror.

But after Han Li steadied his mind, he immediately flipped one hand, and a stack of talismans of various colors appeared between his fingers. With another flick, more than a dozen talismans of various colors shot out one after another, and after a few flashes, they all disappeared into the sword picture without a trace.

A strange thing appeared.

Phantom runes of five colors appeared on the surface of the sword picture, covering all the golden light under them, and they rapidly shrank.

The golden light emitted by the sword picture began to shrink unwillingly under the pressure of the phantom runes, and finally, it disappeared completely with a flash.

Under the pressure of the phantom runes, they immediately returned to more than a dozen restriction talismans, which were firmly stuck onto it.

Suddenly, all kinds of auras on the sword picture disappeared, as if it had become an ordinary picture.

Seeing this, Han Li smiled slightly and grabbed at the void with one hand.

With a "swish," the sword picture was forcibly pulled off the wall and fell into his hand.

With a flash of faint azure light, the picture immediately rolled itself into a scroll shape and disappeared with a flash.

Only then did Han Li exhale lightly, his heart feeling relieved.

He didn't know if this Ten Thousand Sword Picture was painted by the owner of this place, but having just looked at it simply for a few moments, he could feel that this picture was truly extremely profound, seemingly containing a mysterious cultivation technique. It was like a powerful sword technique, and also like some kind of spiritual sense secret technique. But what it truly was, naturally required him to study it slowly later to reach an accurate conclusion.

Below, he walked to the desk, and with a flick of his sleeve, a patch of azure light flew out.

Immediately, the lids of those jade boxes and small bottles all flew open in the light.

After sweeping his spiritual sense through them, Han Li furrowed his brow.

In the three jade boxes, there were unexpectedly a few talismans placed, with complex silver tadpole scripts engraved on their surfaces, but the spiritual energy inside had long ago dissipated, and they were completely useless. As for those two small bottles, they were empty, and there were faint remains of spiritual liquid stored inside.

It seemed that what was originally stored in the two small bottles was some kind of spiritual liquid, but because the preservation was not strict, and with so many years having passed, they had dried up completely.

Han Li thought for a moment, but collected those talismans.

These talismans were very different from the few types of talismans he knew from the Golden Que Jade Book, so they were worth studying and copying.

Below, he searched through other places in this secret chamber, but there was no other harvest.

Han Li retreated without saying a word.

He did not let go of the remaining secret chambers, but they were exactly the same as the previous few, all empty.

When he walked out of the last secret chamber, his footsteps did not stop at all as he walked rapidly toward the way he came.

Not long after, Han Li walked out of the entire side hall, stood on the platform outside the hall door, looked at the other two side halls and the mountain path in front of the main hall, and revealed a thoughtful expression.

At this time, Shi Kun and Liu Shui'er should be almost at the top of the mountain!
