Chapter 1805: Blood Soul

The old man and the giant saw this situation, and their faces also showed joy. WwW. feiazw. CoM (Web)

Xu Jiao suppressed the excitement in his heart, and used the same method to remove the talisman on the jade box as well.

The white-clothed man swept his gaze over the two items, hesitated for a moment, and reached out to grab the blue jade slip.

After placing the jade slip on his forehead, the man closed his eyes.

Time passed bit by bit, and the white-clothed man's face changed from calm at the beginning to somewhat confused, but later became somewhat shocked.

The old man Xu Huo and the giant looked at each other, and couldn't help but feel somewhat nervous.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the white-clothed man finally sighed, his expression somewhat trance-like as he moved the jade slip away from his forehead.

"Nephew, what exactly is written inside." The old man couldn't help but ask.

The giant also revealed an eager expression.

"Uncle Huo, see for yourself." Xu Jiao seemed to have sobered up a bit, his expression complex as he threw the jade slip directly over, seemingly unwilling to say more.

The old man Xu Huo took the jade slip, naturally somewhat suspicious, but after hesitating for a moment, he also seeped his divine sense into it.

At this time, Xu Jiao set his eyes on the jade box, pondered for a moment, and flicked his sleeve.

The box lid opened automatically.

Inside the jade box, black light flowed uncertainly, and inside was a bright red small bottle several inches long.

The surface of this bottle was printed with a strange pattern, and a faint smell of blood was emitted.

"Eh, this seems to be the clan's..." The giant looked clearly from the side and immediately recognized something in surprise.

"That's right, this is the Blood Soul Bottle handed down by our Xu family. It was originally a pair, but one of them was taken away by the ancestor Ice Soul back then. I didn't expect that there would be a day when they would be reunited." Xu Jiao said gloomily.

"It really is this treasure!" The giant swallowed, muttering.

Xu Jiao didn't interface with anything, and directly ordered the giant:

"You immediately take my token, mobilize all the secret guards in the clan, surround the mountain peak where the ancestral temple is located, and at the same time open all the restrictions nearby, don't let even a fly in. Also, invite the Great Uncle-Ancestor who is still in closed-door cultivation to come out and wait in the ancestral temple for the time being."

"What, mobilize the secret guards, and invite the Great Uncle-Ancestor out." The giant was startled, looking somewhat unbelievable.

"That's right. This is a major matter related to the ancestor Ice Soul, even if the Great Uncle-Ancestor is at a critical moment of cultivation, he must come out of closed-door cultivation." The white-clothed man bit his lip and ordered without doubt.

"The Patriarch has truly found the whereabouts of our ancestor. Good, I will go handle this right now." The giant man was overjoyed upon hearing this, and without any further hesitation, he agreed and immediately walked outside.

And after Xu Jiao witnessed the giant man walking out of the secret chamber, his gaze returned to the blood-red small bottle, but his expression became somewhat uncertain.

After another while, the elder Xu Huo let out a long breath, finally finished reading the jade slip, and opened his eyes:

"So that's how it is. Ancestor actually went to the Savage World and even ran off to a foreign continent. But as for what happened, only a wisp of blood soul refined back then was transferred back." The elder muttered a sentence, his brows furrowing tightly.

"Other than that blood soul secret technique on this jade slip, it only said a few words about other matters. As for what exactly happened, only by using the 'Blood Crystal Coffin' to reawaken this wisp of blood soul can we know a thing or two. It is fortunate that Ancestor Bing Po made preparations long ago and refined the Blood Crystal Coffin and this pair of blood soul bottles first. Otherwise, even we would truly be at our wits' end," Xu Jiao said gloomily.

"That is indeed the case. However, the jade slip says that once this talisman is removed, the awakening ceremony must be held within a few days. Otherwise, even with the blood soul bottle, that wisp of blood soul will dissipate. After all, it has been sealed in the blood soul bottle for too long." The elder revealed a worried expression again.

"Rest assured, we will hold the ceremony immediately tonight," the white-clothed man said with a flash in his eyes.

"That is all we can do. By the way, how should we reply to that Senior Han in the main hall? I heard from Yu'er that this person also has some connection with Ancestor Bing Po, and since he took the initiative to send back the ancestor's blood soul, he should not have any ill intentions toward our Xu family." The elder asked another question.

"Hmm, although this Senior Han only advanced to Body Integration not long ago, he seems to have quite extraordinary divine abilities and is also proficient in ancient magic arrays. Perhaps in the future, he can become a great support for our Xu family to rely on. In any case, we must keep this senior in the Xu family for a few more days. After holding the ceremony to awaken the blood soul, we will then find a way to build more rapport with this Senior Han." Xu Jiao pondered for a moment and said with a decision.

"That is indeed the case. Then I will go out and make arrangements first." Xu Huo nodded and intended to leave alone as well.

"Wait, to show our sincerity, it would be better if I go out with Uncle Huo," the white-clothed man hesitated slightly but said this.

"That is also fine. A Body Integration stage existence is worth treating with the utmost solemnity, no matter what," the elder thought for a moment and agreed.

Thus, after this Xu family patriarch cautiously put away the jade box containing the blood-red small bottle, he walked out of the secret chamber together with the elder.

An hour later, in a certain exquisitely built pavilion within a mountain peak, Han Li was sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat on the top floor, pondering silently with his brows slightly furrowed.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

He had originally intended to bid farewell and leave after delivering the items and exchanging a few pleasantries with the Xu family members.

But he hadn't expected this Xu family patriarch to be so incredibly enthusiastic, not only trying his best to keep him for a few more days but also, seeing his strong intention to leave, vaguely revealing that among the items transferred this time, there were indeed clues about Immortal Bing Po.

As long as he stayed in the Xu family for a few more days, he might truly be able to find the whereabouts of their ancestor.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.

To say that Han Li was completely indifferent to the matter of Immortal Bing Po would naturally be unlikely.

Regardless of the Dry Blue Ice Flame he absorbed, the Void Heaven Palace he once risked entering, the Void Heaven Cauldron he obtained, or the branch of the Small Extreme Palace in the North Underworld of the Great Jin, all were greatly related to this Immortal Bing Po.

Moreover, there were several unsolved mysteries in his heart that he desperately wanted to find this Immortal Bing Po to unravel.

It was just that he naturally wouldn't mind staying for ten days or half a month.

After all, with his current divine abilities and cultivation base, he wouldn't worry about this Xu family having any unusual thoughts toward him.

Among the human and demon races, other than the legendary Mahayana cultivators, there was nothing that could threaten his life.

Therefore, under the strong persuasion of the Xu family patriarch and other Xu family cultivators, he eventually stayed in this pavilion.

However, Han Li also had a decision in his heart. At most, he would stay in the Xu family for about a month; if there were still no news of Immortal Bing Po by then, he would definitely not continue to delay here.

Of course, even if he truly obtained the whereabouts of Immortal Bing Po, how to proceed and whether to truly spend time searching for her were separate matters; he would wait and see the situation then.

Han Li thought silently, raised his palm, and then with a slight flash of spiritual light, a silver talisman suddenly appeared in his hand.

This talisman was exactly one of those True Immortal Realm talismans with exhausted spiritual energy that he had obtained from the ruins of the barrier in the Vast Cold Realm that day.

During this period, because the Body Integration medicinal pill could not be prepared for the time being, he was not in a hurry to cultivate his own magic power, but instead focused most of his mind on the comprehension of this Immortal Realm talisman.

Although this talisman had no power at all, the runes on it were all written in Silver Tadpole Script, which naturally had much in common with the talisman path in the Golden Que Jade Book he had obtained before.

This had allowed Han Li to gain much insight recently.

He had even made some progress on the "Heavenly Spear Talisman," which he had never been able to get started with in the fragments of the Golden Que Jade Book.

This talisman was the last type of Silver Tadpole Script talisman recorded in the fragments and was also the only type of attack talisman.

Not to mention the power of this talisman, just in terms of its profundity and complexity, it truly far exceeded other Silver Tadpole Script spiritual talismans like the Tai Yi Cleansing Talisman.

Even after Han Li advanced to Body Integration and gained some understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, he was still unable to fully comprehend it all at once.

From this perspective, this "Heavenly Spear Talisman" should definitely be worth looking forward to.

While Han Li stared fixedly at the silver talisman in his hand, one of his fingers kept pointing and drawing in the void, gesturing at something.

Most of the time, no abnormalities appeared at all, but sometimes silver runes of different sizes would burst out from his fingertips, either suddenly bursting and dissipating or condensing and flickering, appearing exceptionally mysterious.

Time passed bit by bit, and before long, several bright full moons hung in the sky above the mountain range where the Xu family was located; it was already late at night.

Han Li, who was gesturing with one hand, suddenly had a look of abnormality appear on his face.

The next moment, he suddenly stood up, flashed, and appeared at the window, looking toward a certain distant mountain peak with a hint of confusion on his face.

"What's going on? This barrier fluctuation is so strange, it seems to be..." Han Li's thoughts raced, and as if he had suddenly remembered something, he looked up at the high sky.

As a result, he was shocked!

He saw that the full moons that were originally flashing with silver light in the night sky had all turned blood-red at some unknown time, making people feel uneasy when looking at them.

Han Li let out a long breath, withdrew his gaze, and looked again at the mountain peak he had originally looked at, squinting his eyes once more.

Blue light flickered deep in his pupils; the seemingly ordinary mountain peak in the distance was likewise shrouded in a layer of blood-colored mist under his spiritual eyes.

This blood light surrounded the mountain peak, constantly expanding and contracting, and the fluctuation that startled him seemed to be emanating from this mountain peak.

It could be clearly seen that some kind of profound barrier had been set up around the mountain peak. However, that blood light was truly extraordinary and could still have a portion of its spiritual pressure penetrate directly through.

"With such a large amount of blood-reeking aura, could the Xu family truly be holding some kind of blood sacrifice ceremony? But even if they really wanted to hold a blood sacrifice, they wouldn't choose a time when there are outsiders present, would they? Could it have something to do with the items I transferred today?" After a long while, the blue light in his eyes faded and disappeared; he muttered a few words, his face full of contemplation.

He was a person of such wit that after just a little consideration, he had guessed seven or eight out of ten of the facts.
