Chapter 1804: Cold Flame and Golden Talisman

~10 min read 1,944 words

"Treasures? Before the ancestor disappeared, she took all her personal treasures with her and left nothing to us descendants. As for the techniques, our Xu family has always possessed several secret techniques that shook the human race back then, but because the cultivation conditions are harsh, only a few people are qualified to cultivate them. Fortunately, Uncle-Ancestor Yan is one of them. Uncle-Ancestor, please demonstrate it to Senior." Xu Jiao pondered for a moment and turned to the old man on the side.

"Since Senior wants to see, this junior will show off." The old man hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Afterward, he raised his arm, reached out a withered palm from his sleeve, and turned it upward with his five fingers slightly apart.

In an instant, a blue flame appeared in his palm, and under the flow of spiritual light, it turned into a crystal-clear blue light lotus. This ice lotus was exquisite and extraordinary, as if it were born naturally.

"Qianlan Ice Flame!" Han Li's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but mutter.

"Senior has good eyes. This cold flame is the ancestor's famous divine ability. When cultivated to the extreme, it can freeze a thousand miles and freeze the void. Of course, this junior is still far from reaching this realm." Xu Yan's thin face revealed a smile, and the blue ice lotus in his hand spun, suddenly turning into a blue rosy light and rolling out toward the void in front of him.

I saw that wherever the blue rosy light rolled, that piece of void flashed with blue light, and instantly became somewhat blurry and twisted.

And at this time, the other Xu family old man tacitly threw the teacup in his hand into the air, and it disappeared into that piece of void in a flash.

A strange scene appeared.

I saw that the teacup not only turned into an ice sculpture in a flash of blue light but also paused in the void, frozen inside.

Han Li's pupils shrank, his expression remained unchanged, but a trace of surprise appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It was unexpected that the Qianlan Ice Flame could have such divine abilities when cultivated to the later stage.

But thinking about it carefully, this was normal.

The Qianlan Ice Flame he obtained from the Void Heaven Cauldron back then was not cultivated by himself, but directly absorbed and refined, and its power could not be improved by himself.

And this cold flame of Xu Yan was a divine ability cultivated by himself, plus there were subsequent formulas and techniques, so it could naturally be quenched and improved step by step.

These two methods had their own pros and cons.

Directly absorbing ready-made cold flames would not require spending time to cultivate, and one could directly obtain the divine ability. But if one wanted to improve the power of this divine ability in the future, one could only borrow external forces or fuse with other extreme cold flames.

Like the old man and Fairy Ice Soul, who cultivated it themselves, although it took a long time, as long as they followed the formulas and techniques, they could always cultivate this cold flame to the Great Perfection stage.

And the Qianlan Ice Flame he absorbed was still a matter of the human realm.

At that time, the Qianlan Ice Flame left by Fairy Ice Soul was at most a Transformation stage divine ability, naturally far from being comparable to the old man at the Void Refinement stage now.

After Han Li's thoughts turned quickly, he understood the mystery, and the surprise at the corner of his mouth disappeared in a flash.

However, the blue color in the void in front of the old man only lasted for a few breaths before it shattered and dissipated like glass.

The teacup that was originally frozen in the void fell to the ground immediately.

The other old man named Xu Huo was well-prepared, and with a wave of his hand, he took the teacup wrapped in blue ice back into his hand.

At the same time, with a flash of crimson light in his hand, that layer of blue ice melted and disappeared instantly.

The teacup appeared intact again.

"Senior, what do you think? Can Uncle-Ancestor Yan's divine ability prove that our Xu family is the direct descendant of the ancestor?" The white-clothed man asked Han Li with a smile.

"It is indeed the Qianlan Ice Flame. And Fellow Daoist Xu Yan has reached the peak of perfection in this divine ability. Being able to control the extreme cold power to the point where not a trace leaks out is truly rare." Han Li smiled and nodded slightly.

"Then Senior's meaning is..." Xu Jiao's spirit was lifted.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist, please rest assured. Since the Xu family is the direct descendant of Fairy Ice Soul, I will naturally transfer the things." Han Li smiled low, and suddenly flicked his sleeve toward the table beside him.

With a flash of green rosy light, two things appeared on the table.

A light blue jade slip, a clean white jade box.

Both were sealed tightly by a golden glowing talisman, proving that Han Li had never opened or looked at the two items.

The white-clothed man swept his gaze over the two items, his expression somewhat solemn, but he didn't take them immediately, instead asking cautiously:

"Senior, can you tell me now, who entrusted you to transfer these things?"

"It's not that I don't want to say. But even if I say it, you fellow daoists cannot know. I can only tell you fellow daoists that this Senior is not from our Human and Demon races, and his cultivation and divine abilities are far beyond my reach." Han Li frowned and said slowly.

"What, an alien race."

"Even Senior admits to being inferior, could it be..."

The Xu family members lost their voices. Apparently, this answer was far beyond their expectations.

Fairy Xu and the old man and others all revealed expressions of doubt.

Han Li was not surprised by their reaction, appearing calm.

Xu Jiao's eyes flickered, and he said thoughtfully:

"When the ancestor left back then, she had just broken through the Body Integration realm not long ago, so it is possible that she entered the wilderness and traveled across the entire Fengyuan Continent. If this is true, it seems normal to know one or two alien race seniors. Could it be that there are clues to the ancestor's disappearance inside?"

"This is not impossible." The two old men named Xu Yan looked at each other, joy flashed on their faces, and they almost agreed in unison.

Fairy Xu and the giant looked at each other, and they couldn't help but reveal expressions of excitement.

"This is just a guess, whether it is true or not is another matter. Please wait a moment, Senior, this junior will be back soon. Uncle-Ancestor Yan, you and Yu'er please accompany Senior." The white-clothed man apologized to Han Li after taking the two items from the table.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please feel free." Han Li didn't care at all.

So Xu Jiao stood up holding the two items, and left with the other old man and the giant.

In the blink of an eye, only Han Li, Fairy Xu, and Xu Yan were left in the hall.

"Senior Han, this junior once heard Yu'er mention that when she was in Sky Abyss City, she was often pointed out by Senior. Otherwise, she might not have been able to break through to the Transformation stage so quickly. I, this uncle-ancestor, thank you on behalf of Yu'er." After chatting with Han Li for a few words, the old man bowed and said like this.

"Nothing. This is also because Fellow Daoist Qianyu's own talent is extraordinary. I just took care of her a little back then." Han Li replied indifferently.

"But speaking of this, I heard from Yu'er that Senior seems to have some connection with the ancestor, I wonder if it is true?" Xu Yan asked curiously.

"Although I have never met Senior Fairy Ice Soul, there is indeed some connection. Otherwise, that Senior would not have entrusted me to transfer the things. If you fellow daoists have any doubts in your heart, you will understand after looking at this." Han Li's eyes flickered, and after a movement of the corner of his mouth, he suddenly held up a finger in front of his eyes.

Then only a "puchi" sound was heard, and a blue flame erupted from his fingertip, spinning and forming a blue ice flower.

"Qianlan Ice Flame!" The old man exclaimed, staring at the blue ice flower, his face full of surprise.

"Could it be that Senior is also..." Fairy Xu on the side saw this scene and muttered in shock.

"It's not what you think, I just collected some cold flames left by your ancestor in the lower realm back then." Han Li smiled and said.

"So that's it!" Xu Yan was somewhat enlightened, but there was still some doubt in his eyes, but he didn't dare to ask again.

After all, Han Li was a Body Integration stage cultivator, not someone he, a Void Refinement cultivator, could easily interrogate.

Almost at the same time, in a secret room protected by layers of restrictions behind the hall, the Xu family patriarch and the giant, and another old man, were solemnly looking at the two items placed on the stone table in the secret room.

"This talisman is so powerful, with your and my cultivation, we actually cannot forcibly remove it with magic power. It seems that it is just as Senior Han said, these things were transferred by an alien race Mahayana existence to the ancestor." The old man named Xu Huo seemed to have tried to remove the talisman, looking at the two items somewhat helplessly.

"If it is truly done by a Mahayana existence, it is not strange that these two talismans are so mysterious. If we use the power of treasures to forcibly destroy these two talismans, I'm afraid the things inside will also be damaged. There must be some clever method." Xu Jiao touched his smooth chin, seemingly thinking of something.

"If the patriarch has a way, why not try it first. If it doesn't work, then think of other ways." Xu Huo was obviously impatient and said without hesitation.

"Uncle's words are reasonable, then this junior will try it first." Xu Jiao pondered for a good while before nodding solemnly.

Then he suddenly raised his arm, opened his mouth, and sprayed a white light.

I saw the white cold light flying around his wrist, and it was immediately sucked back into his mouth in a flash.

But the next moment, a trace of crimson appeared on his wrist, and several drops of essence blood fell, just dripping onto the talisman sealing the jade slip.

With a flash of blood light, these essence blood easily disappeared into it.

The originally motionless talisman shone with golden light, and golden characters of different sizes appeared one after another.

But in a flash, these golden characters dissipated and disappeared, and at the same time, the astonishing spiritual energy on the talisman converged, and all the spiritual light disappeared.

Xu Jiao saw this scene and was overjoyed, knowing that he had guessed correctly. Sure enough, only the essence blood inheriting Fairy Ice Soul's bloodline could safely remove this talisman.

He took a deep breath and blew lightly at the jade slip.

The golden talisman trembled and fell from the jade slip silently.
