Chapter 1895: Visitor

After hearing Qing Tian Yuanzi's words, Marquis Golden Flame's gaze flickered, and he seemed to be moved, falling into deep thought for a time.

Upon hearing the name "Vajra Demon-Extinguishing Divine Thunder," a trace of strangeness flashed across Han Li's face.

No wonder he felt somewhat familiar with the aura of these three objects; it turned out that the main material used was the Golden Thunder Bamboo leaves he had given him last time.

These leaves came from the same source as the Golden Thunder Bamboo stalks, so even after acquired refining, the aura naturally wouldn't be too different.

And although the Vajra Demon-Extinguishing Divine Thunder was a sharp weapon for dealing with Heavenly Demons from outside the realm, Heavenly Demons only appeared when breaking through the Mahayana bottleneck and during the tribulation after the Mahayana stage, so it wasn't something he had to prepare for now.

As for the refining method of this treasure, Han Li had actually accidentally found it in a market of an alien race some time ago.

It was just that he had been scared by the large amount of thunder-attribute materials it required at the time.

He felt that with his means at the time, he couldn't collect all the materials, and he had no ability to refine it, so he had regretfully put the matter behind him.

Now that he heard that even Qing Tian Yuanzi, with his Mahayana cultivation, had to spend several hundred years refining seven or eight divine thunders, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

It seemed that before reaching the late stage of Body Integration, the Vajra Demon-Extinguishing Divine Thunder was something he couldn't even think about.

"At the cost of three Vajra Demon-Extinguishing Divine Thunders, it is indeed enough to exchange for the Breath-Soil. But there is one thing I still don't quite understand. Don't you have the Nether River Divine Milk yourself, Brother? Why come specifically to me to exchange for this item?" Marquis Golden Flame spoke again, his words carrying a trace of suspicion.

"My Nether River Divine Milk was all borrowed by someone over a hundred years ago. And now, Little Brother Han needs this item to break through the Body Integration bottleneck, and I, Jiang, did indeed promise this because of a favor from another matter back then. Therefore, I had no choice but to come to you, Brother, to exchange for this item," Qing Tian Yuanzi said slowly.

"To be able to make Brother Jiang promise even the Nether River Milk? It seems that this favor is indeed not small!" Marquis Golden Flame was surprised and let out a clicking sound, sweeping his gaze over Han Li again.

Han Li bowed slightly, showing a respectful expression, but kept Qing Tian Yuanzi's warning in mind and remained extremely honest, not saying anything.

"Hmm, it is indeed a great favor. Alright, I have said everything I should say. If Brother Golden still cannot make up his mind, I'm afraid I will have to seek someone else for the exchange. I don't know about others, but I think Old Monster Yan, who also has to face the lightning tribulation, would definitely be happy to make this deal with me," Qing Tian Yuanzi tapped the table with a finger and said meaningfully.

"Brother Qing is teasing me. When did I ever say I would refuse? Since you are so sincere, Brother, and considering the favor I once owed you, I will agree to this deal," Marquis Golden Flame thought for a moment before finally laughing and agreeing.

"Brother Golden being so straightforward is good. This exchange is absolutely mutually beneficial for both of us!" Qing Tian Yuanzi was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Marquis Golden Flame laughed, and suddenly opened his mouth, spraying out four groups of spirit light.

Three white and one yellow!

They were three small white jade bottles and a yellow jade box!

With another flick of his sleeve, these four items immediately flew toward Qing Tian Yuanzi, and at the same time, his other hand reached toward the jade box and the other two Vajra Demon-Extinguishing Divine Thunders on the table.

With a sound of breaking through the air, the items on the table trembled and were snatched into Marquis Golden Flame's hand.

At the same time, Qing Tian Yuanzi also grabbed the small bottles and jade box that flew over, and immediately began to inspect them carefully with his divine sense.

After a short while, a satisfied expression appeared on the old man's face.

"There are no problems with the items. I really want to thank you this time, Brother Golden! Little Brother Han, keep these three bottles of Nether River Milk well," Qing Tian Yuanzi said with satisfaction after inspecting them.

Then, he turned his head, flicked his wrist, and threw the three small bottles containing the Nether River Spirit Milk toward Han Li.

Han Li was stunned, but immediately received the bottles with joy in his heart, thanking him repeatedly.

The agreement with the other party was originally only for two bottles of spirit milk, but now the other party had handed over all three bottles. Clearly, this could be considered a reward for him collecting more materials.

It seemed his decision to take out all the collected materials was a wise one.

Although these spirit milks were extremely rare, they were of no great use to Qing Tian Yuanzi, so he naturally wouldn't be stingy about it.

Marquis Golden Flame was clearly also very satisfied with this exchange and began to chat with Qing Tian Yuanzi with a full face of smiles.

They talked about some unknown secrets of the Spirit Realm, as well as some things related to cultivation techniques, which Han Li also listened to with great interest on the side.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and after more than half an hour, Qing Tian Yuanzi seemed to feel it was about time and finally stood up to say goodbye.

Marquis Golden Flame didn't have any intention of keeping him, but he also stood up, intending to see Qing Tian Yuanzi to the door of the main hall.

And just at this moment, a loud boom suddenly came from above the island, and the entire palace shook, as if something had struck the restriction shrouding the island and broken it.

The two people who had just stood up in the hall were both startled and looked at each other.

Who was so bold as to dare to bully their way to the door so blatantly?

You must know that although Qing Tian Yuanzi had also slashed the restriction shrouding the island with sword qi, it only looked imposing but didn't actually have much power.

But the movement just now was clearly the appearance of this layer of restriction being forcibly broken by external force.

After Marquis Golden Flame came to his senses, he was naturally shocked and angry, and without a word, he formed a seal with one hand, seemingly intending to activate some divine ability immediately.

But in the next moment, a loud man's voice suddenly echoed above the hall.

"Golden Flame, Qing Tian Yuanzi, are you two brats here? Come out and see me quickly!"

The voice was extremely rude and boisterous, but both of them changed their expressions, and after looking at each other, they couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"What, you won't come out to welcome me, Lord? Golden Flame, do you really want me to tear down your old nest?"

That man seemed to be getting impatient. As soon as his words fell, the rumbling sound outside the palace became incessant, and even bursts of spatial fluctuations appeared, covering the entire island.

At this moment, golden light flashed outside the main hall, and a streak of light appeared before Marquis Golden Flame. Then, the light converged, revealing a Golden Armored Guard with a panicked expression.

"Reporting to Master, outside has come..."

"I know, the guest outside is a distinguished one! You go down first. Brother Jiang, it seems you won't be able to leave for a while! Let's go out and see this old monster, otherwise, he might really tear down my island," Marquis Golden Flame waved his hand at his subordinate, turned around, and said to Qing Tian Yuanzi with a bitter smile.

"Since this old monster has come here, we naturally have to see him. But every time I see him, I have a headache for several days," Qing Tian Yuanzi's lips twitched, and he replied helplessly.

Marquis Golden Flame sighed, but formed a seal, and golden light flashed on his body, a layer of golden flames rolling out, completely submerging his figure.

With a muffled sound, the flames burst and collapsed.

Marquis Golden Flame also disappeared along with it.

It was an extremely rare fire-escape technique!

Qing Tian Yuanzi was even simpler; he flicked his sleeve, transformed into a golden light, and shot toward the door of the hall, but after a flash, he strangely disappeared into the void.

In the entire hall, only Han Li was left alone.

"Old monster! It's hard to imagine what kind of person could make these two call him that. Although I don't want to see him, it's impossible not to go," Han Li sighed, murmured a few words in a voice that couldn't be heard, and then lightning flashed behind his back, a pair of crystalline wings appeared, and with a flash, he transformed into a blue-white arc of electricity and disappeared.

More than a thousand feet high above the island, Qing Tian Yuanzi and Marquis Golden Flame were facing a behemoth over a hundred feet long, their expressions actually quite respectful!

And this giant object was a giant beetle that was pitch-black and shiny, and standing on the head of the beetle, facing the wind, was a thin old man.

This person looked about sixty years old, with deep-set eye sockets, upturned nostrils, and was wearing a colorful robe, with a string of silver, shiny round beads hanging around his neck, each bead the size of an egg, looking extremely striking.

What was surprising was that not only had the layer of white light screen that originally shrouded the entire island disappeared,

but the other three Golden Armored Guards were each tightly bound by a white silk sprayed from the beetle's mouth, spinning around and around in the high sky, unable to stop at all, like spinning tops.

When Han Li appeared behind Qing Tian Yuanzi as a blue-white arc of electricity, Marquis Golden Flame ignored the plight of his three subordinates and instead squeezed a smile at the old man on the beetle:

"Brother Xu Ling, you are a rare guest. What brings you to my humble place? But since you're here, why not go down and sit for a while!"

"Hehe, Golden Flame, you say that, but in your heart, you actually wish I would never come to this place again," the old man let out a sharp laugh, his tone extremely impolite.

"How could I, Golden, think that way. But how did you know, Brother Jiang, that I was here as a guest?" Marquis Golden Flame's face turned pale and white, and he hurriedly shifted the topic to Qing Tian Yuanzi.

Upon hearing this, Qing Tian Yuanzi cursed the golden-crowned man in his heart, but helplessly, he could only force a smile and speak:

"I, Jiang, am also somewhat puzzled. Why would Brother Xu Ling know that I was with Brother Golden? Could it be that you have already been to my cave dwelling?"

"Haha, not only have I been to your cave dwelling, I have been to everyone's residence, and you two were the only ones I hadn't visited yet. Two of those guys even wanted to stay in seclusion and not see me, so I tore down most of their old nests, and they came out honestly. If I had known it would be like this, why bother in the first place!" This old man named Xu Ling laughed loudly and said triumphantly.
