Chapter 2078: Vast Yin Treasure Mirror

"Four Demon Venerables and still not sure about dealing with one demon beast! What is the origin of this beast, and what supernatural powers does it possess?" Han Li pondered for a moment and asked solemnly.

"I am ashamed to say. I confronted this monster once before, but I didn't see its true form clearly. It was always wrapped in a ball of green flames, and I could only see a rough outline, only that it was a monster that looked like a rhinoceros yet not a rhinoceros, like an ox yet not an ox. As for its supernatural powers, it has fire supernatural powers, and its power is so great that it can almost break the void and melt reality. When I was caught off guard, I was almost burned to death by the demon flames on the spot." The purple-haired woman bit her lips and said solemnly.

"Fire supernatural powers? That is indeed a bit troublesome! If one can cultivate fire supernatural powers to the extreme, the destructive power can far exceed other attribute supernatural powers. No wonder you suffered such a big loss!" Han Li's eyes flashed and he muttered.

"Don't flatter me, Fellow Han. Even if this beast didn't practice fire supernatural powers, its magic power alone is far beyond what I can compare to. I estimate it should have reached the late stage of Demon Venerable, so the Bai clan only dared to gather everyone's strength to drive this beast away." The purple-haired woman replied with a bitter smile.

"A late-stage Demon Venerable demon beast! No wonder you are so cautious. How much confidence does Fellow Daoist have in this operation? Confronting a powerful demon beast of unknown depth is no joke; there is a risk of serious injury or falling." Han Li asked with an uncertain expression.

"If we want to kill such a demon beast, it is naturally almost impossible. But if it is just to drive it away and injure it, with four people taking action, there should be a 60-70% chance of success. But if Fellow Daoist also agrees, I think there is a 90% chance." The purple-haired woman replied without hesitation.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist is quite confident!" Han Li laughed softly, noncommittally.

"That's because the two friends invited by the Bai clan, besides having magic power not below mine, one practices ice-cold power, and the other possesses an extremely yin and cold treasure. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to make such a big claim in front of Fellow Daoist. If this operation fails, the Bai clan can only bear the pain and give up this mineral vein." The purple-haired woman explained hurriedly, seeing Han Li seemed a bit skeptical.

"Having fellow daoists who can restrain this beast's demon flames accompanying us, the chances of success are indeed two points higher. It seems Fellow Daoist Futian has already had a plan in mind. However, I still have a matter I hope Fellow Daoist can explain." Han Li nodded, but his heart stirred, and he asked again suddenly.

"Fellow Daoist, just ask, I will definitely know everything!" The purple-haired woman smiled.

"That demon beast has cultivated to the late stage of Demon Venerable; no matter how low its original intelligence was, it should have opened its mind a bit. Why did it occupy your Bai clan's mineral vein for no reason? And the Bai clan seems to value this mineral vein extremely highly, willing to spend such a price rather than give it up. But I don't know what kind of rare mineral material it produces?" Han Li asked calmly.

"It is a giant fire cloud stone mineral vein, and it is the top-grade kind of fire cloud stone, with extremely rich reserves, enough to bring thousands of benefits to our Bai clan. How could I easily let it go." The purple-haired woman explained hurriedly.

"Fire cloud stone! That's no wonder. This late-stage demon beast is likely trying to absorb the true fire energy of the entire mineral vein to advance its own cultivation." Han Li nodded, somewhat enlightened.

"Correct, only some demon beasts with special types can have such innate supernatural powers and directly absorb and transform mineral vein energy. If it were us ordinary Sacred clans doing this, no matter how high our cultivation is, we would explode and die. But the more this is the case, the sooner this mineral vein should be recovered. Otherwise, if time passes, either this beast's cultivation will advance again, or the mineral vein will be ruined. As long as Fellow Daoist is willing to help, regardless of the success or failure of this trip, the Bai clan will not only give an Eight-Legged Demon Lizard but also be willing to offer a large sum of demon stones as a reward." The purple-haired woman promised with flickering eyes.

"Since Fellow Daoist is so sincere, I shouldn't refuse immediately. But I still need to ask clearly, where is this fire cloud mineral vein in the Illusion Howl Desert, and how long will it take to go back and forth? If it takes too long, it won't be convenient for me to participate." Han Li pondered for a while before saying solemnly.

"Please rest assured, Fellow Han. This mineral vein is not too far from this city. It only takes a month or so to reach it by going deep into the desert. Even if there are some delays on the road, three months back and forth is enough." The purple-haired woman's beautiful eyes flashed, and she replied hurriedly.

"In that case, I can agree to this matter. But I wonder when the Bai clan plans to set off?" Han Li didn't hesitate anymore and agreed to take action.

"Many thanks for your help, Fellow Han. I thank you." The purple-haired woman was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

Han Li smiled and nodded, saying nothing more.

At this time, the purple-haired woman invited Han Li to move to the Bai clan again and expressed her willingness to provide all expenses for his daily cultivation during this period, but was politely declined by Han Li.

Seeing Han Li's intention was so firm, the purple-haired woman didn't continue to force him, but instead discussed some insights on demon arts and body refining with Han Li.

Han Li naturally wouldn't refuse this and talked face-to-face with the woman.

But not long after, he was surprised to find that although the Hermit Futian in front of him was a woman, she indeed had many unique insights in body refining, and after a discussion, even some of the original confusion in the Brahma Saint True Demon Art was suddenly enlightened!

This was something he rarely encountered when exchanging insights with other Body Integration cultivators in the Spirit Realm.

However, after Han Li thought about it carefully, he suddenly realized.

His Brahma Saint True Demon Art was originally a demon art from the Demon Realm, and it had commonalities with other profound demon arts in body refining methods, so it was naturally not strange at all. Exchanging insights with other Body Integration cultivators before, although it couldn't be said that he gained nothing, in body refining, it naturally couldn't be compared to a real demon clan Demon Venerable.

Thinking of this, Han Li naturally put in 120% of his spirit, and they talked for a whole day.

During this period, the purple-haired woman was also shocked in her heart.

With her attainment in demon arts, she could naturally feel that Han Li's understanding of body refining was far above hers, and he was absolutely not an ordinary Demon Venerable.

Having him agree to deal with that demon beast together, the help would be imaginable.

Thinking of this, the woman was overjoyed, and naturally became more and more polite to Han Li.

When the sky turned dark, Han Li finally stood up to say goodbye.

This time was naturally not enough for two Body Integration-level existences to exchange all their insights, so the purple-haired woman invited Han Li to come to the Bai clan to exchange insights in the next few days.

Han Li pondered for a moment and agreed happily.

At this moment, the purple-haired woman personally ordered her subordinates to send Han Li back to his residence with that beast cart.

When Han Li left the hall under the maid's guidance, the purple-haired woman sat back in the chair, and the smile on her face faded a bit.

She picked up a cup of spiritual tea on the table, tasted it, and suddenly raised her brows and said:

"Brother, what do you think of this person, and what cultivation level has he reached! With your supernatural powers and the Vast Yin Treasure Mirror, you should be able to see a few points of depth from the side."

"Fifth sister, you think too highly of your brother. This kid surnamed Han is someone who hides his true self, far more powerful than you imagine!"

As soon as the words fell, a wall in the hall suddenly flashed with white light, turning into a hazy light curtain, and a figure emerged silently from the white light, holding a pitch-black rhombic ancient mirror in one hand.

The figure said indifferently, then flickered and appeared in the chair Han Li had previously sat in, sitting down unhurriedly.

Only then could one see the face of this person clearly; he was a burly man with curly hair and a pale yellow complexion, but on his forehead, there was also a white short horn, a few points larger than the purple-haired woman's.

From his eyebrows, one could vaguely see that the burly man and the purple-haired woman were two or three points similar; he was clearly another Demon Venerable-level existence hidden in the Bai clan.

"Why, Brother, even with the help of the Vast Yin Mirror, you couldn't see through that person's cultivation realm?" The purple-haired woman felt a chill in her heart and asked the burly man solemnly.

"You also know that although my Vast Yin Treasure Mirror is refined from a piece of heaven and earth ice spirit, if it encounters someone who also has extremely yin treasure protection or practices cold techniques, its effect is greatly reduced. Moreover, this person seems to have extremely powerful spiritual sense. When I cast the spell just now, I was likely already discovered by him. He was just pretending not to know!" The burly man sighed, his face showing a trace of gloom.

"What, this person already discovered Brother's existence. This is a bit troublesome; I'm afraid I'll have to explain it to him later. But did Brother really find nothing with the help of the treasure mirror?" The purple-haired woman frowned and asked.

"Hehe, explain? There's no need for that. Since this person didn't show anything, you should just pretend not to know. At most, I won't spy on him from the side next time I see him. This Han guy won't stay in Illusion Night City for long; he's just a passerby, so you and I don't need to spend too much effort to win him over. As for discovery, my Vast Yin Treasure Mirror is not famous for nothing; naturally, there are still some. I will show it to you now!"

The burly man laughed, moved his fingers holding the rhombic ancient mirror, and the treasure mirror flew into the air, turning into a ball of black light, hanging quietly in the high air between the two.

Then the burly man pinched a spell with one hand, pointed at the black light with the other, and chanted incantations.

In an instant, five-colored light flickered incessantly in the black light ball, and a picture gradually became clear.

In an instant, five-colored rays of light flickered incessantly within the black light sphere, and a scene gradually appeared with unusual clarity.
