Chapter 2093

Volume Ten War of the Demon Realm Chapter Two Thousand Six Hundred and Eighty Reverse Calculation

Two months later on a certain day, outside the city at a certain temporary cave, Han Li and the old ancestor of the Long family, the Thousand Autumn Holy Maiden, and others gathered together again.

They looked at the disheveled man who had barely arrived before the agreed time limit, their expressions varying.

This Body Integration cultivator of the Lin family now had gray-white hair, withered skin, and the originally vigorous middle-aged appearance of a man in his prime had completely become withered and senile, like a seventy or eighty-year-old elder.

More critically, one of the disheveled man's eyeballs had flown away.

Looking at the empty eye socket, it seemed as if the entire eyeball had been forcibly gouged out.

And the aura of this Lin family Body Integration cultivator, compared to before, was now less than one-third of his peak, and also faintly gave people a feeling of severe decline.

"Daoist Friend Lin, how did you become like this!" After everyone was surprised, the old ancestor of the Long family finally spoke heavily.

"Speaking of it is embarrassing, I encountered a group of soul-absorbing beasts in the wilderness, and carelessly had most of my essence absorbed by them. Fortunately, I self-destructed several treasures I carried, barely escaping." The Lin family man lightly coughed a few times, his face bitter, his voice also becoming hoarse and unpleasant to the extreme.

"Soul-absorbing beasts? This beast's rank is not too high, how could it force Brother Lin into such a state!" The Thousand Autumn Holy Maiden asked in surprise.

"If it were ordinary soul-absorbing beasts, how could Lin fear them. But if it were a mutant Body Integration-level soul-absorbing beast, that would be another matter." The Lin family man's eyes twitched twice before he slowly replied.

"Mutant soul-absorbing beasts!" Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but change expression slightly.

"Not bad, this beast initially hid among the herd, disguising itself as ordinary soul-absorbing beasts, so I was unprepared and was ambushed successfully. Otherwise, even if Lin were not capable, he would not have ended up like this."

The Lin family man recalled the situation of that day, his face becoming even uglier.

"Daoist Friend Lin encountering this calamity is truly unfortunate. But I don't know what plans you have next?" The Long family ancestor's expression alternated between overcast and clear for a while, then he asked with a focused expression.

"I have lost too much essence, my magic power is now only two or three tenths of what it was before, entering the Phantom Howl Desert is not realistic now, I must immediately return to the Spirit Realm to seclude for several hundred years before I can painstakingly restore my cultivation. So I also do not plan to covet those two heavenly earthly spiritual objects here, I will rest for a while, then cast a spell to stimulate my potential and return to the Spirit Realm by the original route." The disheveled man's eyes flickered uncertainly for a while before he spoke unwillingly.

"That's good. With Daoist Friend Lin's current state, continuing to adventure indeed carries the possibility of falling. This way: we few people will stay here for another month, let Daoist Friend recuperate more, then proceed with the next plan." The Long family ancestor showed no surprise, as if he had expected this.

"That's all we can do. Our Spirit Race has no objection, Daoist Friend Lin, please rest assured and recuperate here." The Thousand Autumn Holy Maiden remained silent for a while, then also nodded.

As for the Daoist Priest with the surname Hui and the girl in feathered clothes, they couldn't help but exchange a glance, secretly revealing a hint of the feeling of a rabbit's death and a fox's sorrow.

After all, among the human cultivators present, one of them was already injured, and the other's cultivation was far inferior to Han Li and the Long family ancestor, so it's uncertain who would be forced to withdraw next, possibly one of the two.

However, the two were also Body Integration existences who had cultivated for many years, this thought only flashed by and their expressions returned to normal.

After Han Li finished listening, his expression moved slightly, as if he had thought of something, and he suddenly rushed toward the disheveled man and said:

"I have a pill in my hand, perhaps it could be of some benefit to Daoist Friend's current condition, Daoist Friend Lin might as well take it."

As soon as the words fell, he shook his sleeve toward the disheveled man, and instantly a white jade bottle several inches high flew out.

The Lin family Body Integration cultivator was startled upon hearing this, instinctively raised his hand to take the small bottle, and then looked at Han Li with eyes full of doubt.

This is not surprising!

Although Han Li had traveled with them for a period of time, there had not been much contact between the two, let alone any close friendship. Now he suddenly gave him a bottle of pills, which naturally made the disheveled man full of surprise and suspicion.

This Lin family cultivator pondered slightly, then opened the lid of the small bottle in his hand, and a strong medicinal fragrance immediately filled the entire room.

Everyone who smelled it couldn't help but feel refreshed.

The disheveled man hurriedly brought the bottle mouth to his nose, lightly sniffed a few times, immediately showing a hint of joy on his face, then turned the small bottle upside down and poured it into his palm.

As a result, a pill with emerald green spiritual patterns all over its surface rolled out from it, steadily resting in the center of his palm.

"Essence-Refining Pill, this is an Essence-Refining Pill!" Upon seeing the pill's appearance, the disheveled man had no more hesitation, immediately exclaimed loudly, his face full of ecstatic joy.

This pill is not only extremely rare, but most importantly, it is exactly suitable for his current condition, sufficient to make up for about half of his lost essence, so that he need not worry about still having a great reduction in cultivation after his injury heals.

Upon seeing this Essence-Refining Pill, the Long family ancestor, the Thousand Autumn Holy Maiden, and others also couldn't help but be somewhat moved.

This kind of pill is equally rare and hard to come by for late-stage Body Integration old monsters like them! If it weren't for the current situation, the two might have had other thoughts.

"Daoist Friend Han, this pill is indeed very useful for Lin. But no merit, no reward, Han Brother, what is your intention in doing this, just say it straight." Although the disheveled man was extremely excited in his heart, he soon calmed down and sent a sound transmission to Han Li by moving his lips.

Han Li's mouth corners twitched slightly, he laughed lightly, and similarly sent a sound transmission back:

"Since Daoist Friend Lin has said so, Han will also speak plainly. I really have a matter I want to ask Brother Lin for help with, I don't know if you are willing to do this small favor?"

"Han Brother took out the Essence-Refining Pill, will he still allow me to refuse? Just speak up, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse." After the disheveled man pondered slightly, he steeled himself and replied.

"Brother Lin need not grit his teeth like that, I only ask Daoist Friend to do a small favor that comes naturally. Recently I saved a young girl of our human race in the city. This girl has some connection with me, I hope you can bring her along when you return to the Spirit Realm, and look after her for a while before I return to the Spirit Realm to receive people. After all, the road ahead is indeed too dangerous, I cannot possibly bring that little girl along the entire way. Daoist Friend, this should be easy for you to do." Han Li transmitted sound without changing expression.

"Just this much trouble, if it's like this, then naturally there's no problem. Lin can guarantee you that as long as I can return to the Spirit Realm safely, Han Brother's entrusted person will definitely be safe and sound." The disheveled man was somewhat surprised, but without hesitation agreed wholeheartedly.

"Good, then Han can also rest assured." Han Li lightly nodded, then immediately said nothing more.

And after the disheveled man's worries were gone, he only hesitated slightly, then immediately threw the pill in his hand into his mouth and swallowed it.

Given his current condition, the earlier he takes this Essence-Refining Pill, the more he can reduce the possibility of a great cultivation reduction, naturally he does not want to delay even a moment.

Meanwhile, the Long family ancestor and others had long seen that the two were discussing something via sound transmission, but everyone knew better than to disturb them.

They were very clear in their hearts that Han Li would not produce such a precious pill for nothing, he definitely had some request of the Lin family cultivator.

But this matter is between the two of them, outsiders naturally should not pry into it.

The matter of the disheveled man has been settled, naturally next is to discuss the eight-legged magic lizard.

The Long family ancestor's expression was calm, and he roughly recounted his situation of contacting the Zhao family during this period.

The Thousand Autumn Holy Maiden, the girl in feathered clothes, and others upon hearing this, couldn't help but frown.

"So it seems, the Zhao family really has lion's big plan, a single eight-legged magic lizard actually dares to ask such an outrageous price. Ten-thousand-year purple blood lingzhi, ice crystal heart, what kind of rare materials are these, they also dare to propose them to Brother Long? I think the Zhao family probably has no intention of exchange at all!" The Thousand Autumn Holy Maiden's jade-like face instantly turned cold as frost.

"I think the Zhao family not only lacks the intention to trade!" Han Li interjected lightly.

"Oh, what does Brother Han mean by his words?" The girl in feathered clothes' expression moved.

Han Li just smiled and said nothing.

"I'm afraid the Zhao family not only didn't think of giving me the eight-legged magic lizard, but instead wanted to plot against my modest wealth. After all, my previous quote was enough to move the two demon venerables of the Zhao family." This time, the Long family ancestor actively interjected, but with a cold smile.

"It seems Brother Long already had everything figured out." Upon hearing this, the Thousand Autumn Holy Maiden laughed lightly.

"Exactly. Since the Zhao family is unwilling to trade the eight-legged magic lizard, the other three families probably won't trade either, so we might as well use their own scheme against them, taking advantage of when the Zhao family's two demon venerables plot against me, I will lure them out, then others will sneak into the Zhao family, directly steal the eight-legged magic lizard, and then rush into the Phantom Howl Desert overnight." The Long family ancestor spoke with a hint of killing intent.

"Excellent. If the Zhao family has no demon venerables holding the fort, others cannot stop us. However, Brother Long, have you already found where the Zhao family keeps the eight-legged magic lizard?" The girl in feathered clothes said happily.

"Hehe, Brother Long has not been idle in the city these days, naturally I have already confirmed it. The Zhao family has placed the eight-legged magic lizard in two locations, one is the Zhao family's forbidden area, with layers of spell formations and restrictions, even without demon venerables holding the fort, it's not easy to attack. The other location is a temporary placement for the magic lizard. I found out that the Zhao family will have several magic lizards return from outside in half a month, and according to convention they will temporarily stay there for several days. And this is our good opportunity. Brother Han already has two magic lizards, we only need to seize these magic lizards, which should be sufficient. However, there is one point, fellow Daoists, please pay attention to."

"Action can be taken, but try not to open a large killing field, and also do not expose your cultivation and true appearance. Otherwise, if we accidentally attract the attention of other powerful demon clans in the surrounding areas, we will run into trouble. After all, we need to cross the entire Phantom Howl Desert, while those powerful demon clans can pass through other places via transmission formations, directly ambush us at the other end of the Phantom Howl Desert." The Long family ancestor spoke with deep scheming.
