Chapter 1747: Obtaining the Pill

Almost at the same time, Han Li was already in a strange space. Everything around him was gray and misty, save for a pitch-black giant gate standing not far away, its surface covered in dense, bifurcated gold and silver runes.

They flickered on and off, appearing exceptionally mysterious.

This gate was exactly the same in appearance as the giant gate he had seen on the screen earlier.

It was as if he had been instantly pulled into the painting on the screen.

"This place really is a location similar to a Sumeru Cave Heaven." After scanning his surroundings, Han Li's gaze landed on the giant gate, a trace of a strange expression appearing on his face.

Suddenly, he flipped one hand, and with a flash of spiritual light, a stack of colorful formation disks appeared in his palm.

With his other hand, he quickly formed a seal, and under his spell, the formation disks shot out one after another.

They paused in the air around him before transforming into balls of light that plummeted downward. As soon as they touched the ground, they vanished without a trace.

A moment later, plumes of milky-white mist surged out from where the formation disks had disappeared.

It was thick and did not dissipate, forming a wall of dense fog that completely concealed both Han Li and the giant gate in front of him.

On the other side of the fog wall, Han Li's expression relaxed slightly. He flicked his sleeve, and an object wrapped in green light flew out, circled once, and then hovered before him.

It was the Void Heaven Cauldron!

He raised his hand and tapped the cauldron lightly.

The lid flew open on its own, and a pale white phantom shot out from within, accompanied by a flash of green light.

A six or seven-year-old girl in a white dress appeared in mid-air, her hair in small braids, her face round and incredibly cute.

It was none other than the girl, Qu'er!

"Greetings, Young Master!" The girl bowed to Han Li, a cheeky smile on her face.

"Well done! To think you could remain in the cauldron without leaking a single trace of aura, such that even I couldn't sense your presence. Those two would naturally be even less able to discover you." A look of satisfaction appeared on Han Li's face as he praised her.

"This is all thanks to the treasures and talismans bestowed by Young Master. Otherwise, with my meager abilities, how could I have deceived two existences at the peak of the Void Refinement stage?" the girl in white said with a giggle.

As she finished speaking, a flash of black light appeared, and a large piece of pitch-black gauze flew from her body. At the same time, she reached out into the void, and a purple-misty Taiyi Cleansing Talisman appeared.

Qu'er held the two items in her hands, appearing as if she were about to return them to Han Li.

"No need to return them. You are naturally skilled in escape techniques and concealment abilities; these two treasures will be able to display astonishing power in your hands. Not to mention, even if I were to use these two items myself, I might not necessarily be able to deceive those two at such close range. Besides, I have other spares of the same items, so just keep them for self-protection," Han Li said, waving his hand.

"Since Young Master says so, then this servant will keep them." Qu'er beamed with joy, slapped the black gauze and the talisman directly onto her body, and they merged into her form, disappearing from sight once more.

Seeing this, Han Li smiled slightly, then asked with a solemn expression:

"When I was collecting the treasures from the golden cauldron earlier, I deliberately made the spiritual light dazzling to take the opportunity to send you into the Void Heaven Cauldron. But the interval before I opened the cauldron again was very short; did you have enough time to act?"

"Hehe, Qu'er's movements are very fast. Master, look!" The girl smiled triumphantly at his words, then flipped her small hand, revealing a golden pill.

"Void Spirit Pill! Well done!" Although Han Li had vaguely guessed it in his heart, he was still overjoyed to see the pill.

He raised his hand and beckoned, drawing the golden pill from the girl's hand. He examined it intently for a moment before finally confirming it was correct.

It was indeed identical to the previous two spiritual pills.

Although Han Li did not yet know the specific effects of this pill, the fact that even Integration stage existences like Cai Liuying and Duan Wen Tianren were determined to obtain it and refused to yield to each other showed just how precious it was.

"Because Master previously instructed not to touch those magic-treasure-type items and to specifically look out for medicine bottles and boxes, I only had time to pour out this one pill from the bottle. Master had instructed that if there were more than two pills, I could take one. Qu'er followed those instructions perfectly. Otherwise, I wouldn't have wanted to leave the other two behind..." The girl pouted her rosy lips, looking quite regretful.

Hearing this, Han Li burst into laughter.

"You are quite greedy. To be able to obtain such a Void Spirit Pill right under the noses of those two is already a matter of luck and great fortune. If you had really touched the other pills, it would have been easy to cause problems. Fortunately, there were three Void Spirit Pills in the bottle. If there had only been one or even two, it would have been truly troublesome. I might have had to watch them be abandoned. I don't want to be hunted down by two enraged Integration stage existences in this land of foreign races." Han Li explained with a smile, then flicked his storage bracelet, and the original purple-gold small bottle appeared in his hand again.

He poured the pill into it, and with a flash of spiritual light, he applied several layers of restrictive talismans before carefully putting the bottle away.

"Master's words must be reasonable. But watching the spiritual pill fall into the hands of those two, this servant still feels a bit unwilling," Qu'er said, still looking somewhat reluctant.

Han Li shook his head with a smile, but immediately remembered something. He raised his sleeve, and dense swarms of inch-long flying knives surged out.

Each one was chilling and thin as paper. In the blink of an eye, they filled the nearby air, numbering an astonishing three or four hundred.

"Master, this is..." The girl was dumbfounded.

"This set of flying knives was refined from the wings of that strange moth I encountered overseas last time, totaling three hundred and sixty. I see you don't have any defensive treasures, so I'll give them to you for self-protection. Although they cannot compare to top-tier treasures like Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasures, if you can fully refine them, they will be more than enough to protect yourself against ordinary opponents. Consider it a reward for your meritorious service this time!" Han Li said, reaching out into the void.

Instantly, chilling light flashed across the sky, and the three hundred-plus flying knives flashed and shot toward him.

A moment later, all the flying knives formed two thick stacks and landed in his hand.

Han Li smiled, held the flying knives, and handed them over.

"Thank you, Young Master, for the treasure!" Qu'er was both surprised and delighted. Her figure flickered and blurred, disappearing. But the next moment, she appeared before Han Li and happily took the flying knives.

"Alright, for the sake of caution, return to your original form and refine these flying knives well. Do not appear in front of others without my summons," Han Li said with a solemn expression.

"Yes, Young Master. Qu'er will definitely cultivate diligently." The girl in white naturally agreed, formed a seal with one hand, and with the flying knives, transformed into a ball of white light that lunged at Han Li, merged into his sleeve, and vanished.

Seeing this, Han Li let out a breath, his gaze shifting to the giant gate not far away, a thoughtful expression gradually appearing on his face.

Almost at the same time, in the original purple main hall, Shi Kun and Liu Shui'er were looking at the screen in front of them, both wearing expressions of mutual dismay.

The green light screen that had shrouded the screen had dissipated, revealing the entire image.

But in its place, the painting was filled with a layer of milky-white clouds and mist, making it impossible to see the giant gate that had originally existed.

Around the screen, more than a dozen yellow banners had appeared at some point, flickering with faint yellow light, surrounding the screen and forming a rather sophisticated formation.

Above the formation, faint spatial fluctuations still remained.

In front of Liu Shui'er and Shi Kun, two or three shining treasures hovered, slowly rotating around them.

"Fairy Liu, what should we do? We have already borrowed the power of the formation and even switched to several high-power treasures, yet we still cannot open the entrance to the restriction on this screen. This spatial restriction is clearly not something we can break in a short time. But how did Fellow Daoist Han enter it? It didn't seem like he spent much effort." Shi Kun sighed and suddenly asked Liu Shui'er.

"Did Brother Shi not notice?" Liu Shui'er was silent for a moment before asking in return.

"Notice what?" The burly man was truly confused.

"The third black eye that manifested between Fellow Daoist Han's brows earlier—don't you think it looks very much like an object from the legends?" Liu Shui'er said calmly.

"You mean the Dharma Eye of Destruction!" Shi Kun was no ordinary person; once the cloaked woman pointed it out, he suddenly realized.

"Correct. Apart from that legendary demonic eye, I have truly never heard of any other ability that is similar and capable of easily tearing open spatial restrictions to enter this screen," Liu Shui'er said coolly.

"If it is the Dharma Eye of Destruction, it indeed possesses such incredible power. If that is the case, unless we risk completely destroying this entrance, there is no chance of entering it," Shi Kun muttered, his brows furrowed.

"If we join forces and risk damaging some of our vitality, we might indeed have a chance of achieving that level. But if we fail, it would be equivalent to indirectly cutting off Fellow Daoist Han's retreat. If we do that, Brother Shi, are you not afraid that Fellow Daoist Han will tear through space in anger from within and come to settle the score with you? After all, with the Dharma Eye of Destruction in his possession, this is not something to be taken lightly," Liu Shui'er said with a light laugh, her beautiful eyes flickering.

Hearing Liu Shui'er's words, Shi Kun's expression changed slightly. After glancing at the screen twice more, he gave a dry laugh:

"Fairy Liu is joking. How could Shi do such a thing that harms others without benefiting himself? Since it is impossible to open this spatial restriction in the near future, why don't we leave this place first and go to other side halls to see if there are any other gains?"

"Fellow Daoist Shi's words are exactly what I was thinking; I have the same intention." This time, Liu Shui'er smiled and agreed readily.

Seeing this, Shi Kun gave a chuckle, and after casting a lingering glance at the screen, he suddenly swung his large sleeve to the side.

Instantly, a strange yellow wind rolled out from his sleeve, and with a sweep, it rolled up all the weapons like long spears and giant axes on the hall walls, as well as the various suits of armor on the ground.
