Chapter 2274
"It seems this Spirit King is truly very mysterious! Does Brother Mo know what kind of transaction he made with Old Ancestor Shixin, to actually be willing to use such a secret treasure as the Three Pure Thunder Heaven Talisman for an exchange?" After pondering for a moment, Han Li finally asked the question he was most concerned about.
"I am ashamed! I know about other matters, but I truly do not know the information related to this transaction. I only know roughly that the Spirit King seems to want Old Ancestor Shixin to do something, which seems very dangerous. Otherwise, he would not have used this Three Pure Thunder Heaven Talisman as a reward." After hesitating for a moment, Mo Jianli replied.
"Do something?" Both Han Li and Ao Xiao revealed surprised expressions.
"That should be correct, but I really am not clear on the relevant content at all. Actually, if it weren't for the fact that I lost some vitality in the Demon Realm this time, and that it was too reckless to see the Spirit King alone, I probably would have taken the initiative to visit the Spirit Race as soon as I returned from the Demon Realm that day." Mo Jianli said with a wry smile.
"Brother Mo, why didn't you see me about this matter? If the two of us joined forces, perhaps we would have a way to get the Three Pure Thunder Heaven Talisman from the Spirit King." Old Ancestor Ao Xiao frowned and said.
"What use would it have been to tell Daoist Ao about this matter earlier? You also lost quite a bit of vitality in the Demon Realm, and you still have to prepare for your tribulation soon. If there were any further damage because of this, I'm afraid that even if we obtained this talisman, it would be a loss that outweighs the gain. However, if it were changed to Daoist Han, it would be different.
If I am not mistaken, Daoist Han's aura is even more unfathomable than before he entered the Demon Realm. If he is willing to accompany me on this trip, perhaps there really is a chance to ask for a few Three Pure Thunder Heaven Talismans." After his expression changed for a while, Mo Jianli finally stated his plan.
"What, Brother Mo intends to go to the Spirit Race together with Daoist Han!" Old Ancestor Ao Xiao's expression changed slightly.
"That's right, I do indeed have this intention in my heart. Firstly, with Daoist Han and me joining forces, I think that no matter how much the Spirit King dislikes our two races, he would not dare to easily harbor any malicious intentions, and would mostly likely honestly make this transaction with us. Secondly, even if I don't go to the Spirit Race now, I'm afraid I will still have to make a trip there in the future. After all, our heavenly tribulations are not too far apart, and I have no certainty of passing the next heavenly tribulation either. I also extremely desire this Three Pure Thunder Heaven Talisman. And this talisman is of great use to Daoist Han as well. Perhaps in some future heavenly tribulation, it could save a life." Mo Jianli said frankly, not concealing his intention that he also wanted to obtain it.
Old Ancestor Ao Xiao's expression changed uncertainly, and for a time he did not interject.
Han Li also revealed a pensive expression and began to ponder.
"Senior Mo! If this Three Pure Thunder Heaven Talisman is so precious, I'm afraid the task the Spirit King wants done is incomparably dangerous, and there might even be a possibility of falling." Upon hearing this, Lady Yin Yue could not help but say a few words.
"Dealing with the Spirit King, danger is naturally present. But which step taken by us cultivators is not fraught with thousands of difficulties? Of course, if the risk is truly extremely great, Daoist Han has no danger of a heavenly tribulation and does not need to truly promise the Spirit King anything. I only need Daoist Han to accompany me on the trip." Mo Jianli seemed to have thought about this matter long ago and said without thinking.
After hearing this, Lady Yin Yue looked at Han Li, then looked at Old Ancestor Ao Xiao, her expression becoming somewhat complicated, and for a time she did not know what else to say.
"If one Three Pure Thunder Heaven Talisman is obtained, how much would the probability of Daoist Ao Xiao passing the heavenly tribulation increase at once?" Han Li asked slowly.
"I won't say too much, but a probability of fifteen percent should be there." Mo Jianli said solemnly.
Old Ancestor Ao Xiao pondered in silence, obviously also tacitly agreeing with this statement.
"Fifteen percent, this probability is indeed not small. Daoist Ao Xiao, if you deliberately delay the outbreak time of the heavenly tribulation, how much longer do you think you can delay it?" Han Li asked Old Ancestor Ao Xiao again.
"At most ten years, any longer and I have no way to suppress it." Old Ancestor Ao Xiao's facial muscles twitched before he replied.
"Ten years. In that case, there is still some buffer time." Han Li's gaze flickered slightly, and it seemed he already had a decision in his heart.
"Daoist Han, what do you mean..." Mo Jianli could not help but ask.
"Since I know there is a way to help Daoist Ao Xiao, and this matter also has great benefits for both Daoist Mo and myself, Han naturally will not let it pass. Brother Mo, catch!" Han Li said with a faint smile, then suddenly shook his sleeve, and a ball of white light flew straight toward Mo Jianli. Mo Jianli naturally raised his hand to grab it subconsciously, catching the white light in his palm, and when he spread his five fingers, it was shockingly a milky-white small bottle, which even faintly emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.
"This is..." Mo Jianli narrowed his eyes, revealing a trace of surprise.
"This is a bottle of Huifen Pills, which are of great benefit for the loss of vitality. Brother Mo only needs to take this pill and then go into seclusion for a year of hard cultivation, and I think you should be able to recover most of the original loss. When we go to see that Spirit King together then, I think we will have more certainty." Han Li said indifferently.
"This medicinal pill actually has such miraculous effects, then I will not be polite." Upon hearing this, Mo Jianli was naturally overjoyed, and immediately opened the medicine bottle to check it with his spiritual sense, then put it away with a face full of smiles.
With his original injuries, if he were to take ordinary medicinal pills, the recovery time would at least take several times longer.
Old Ancestor Ao Xiao saw this scene, and his expression was somewhat moved.
Han Li turned his head and said to this Demon Race Old Ancestor again:
"Daoist Ao, if I am not mistaken, besides your vitality loss being much more severe than Daoist Mo's, I'm afraid there is also something wrong with your spiritual soul."
"You saw it? When I was trapped in the seal, I was once ambushed by several extremely powerful strange insects using spiritual sense secret techniques, and there were indeed some problems with my spiritual soul. If I want to recover, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort, and I don't have full certainty whether I can do this before the heavenly tribulation. If I cannot make the spiritual soul whole again, I'm afraid I don't even have a half-percent chance of passing the heavenly tribulation." Old Ancestor Ao Xiao sighed after being silent for a moment.
"Grandfather, is this true?" Lady Yin Yue's beautiful face lost its color again.
"At this point, is there still a need for me to hide it?" Old Ancestor Ao Xiao said helplessly.
"Brother Han, do you have..." Upon hearing this, Lady Yin Yue was extremely anxious in her heart and hurriedly wanted to say something to Han Li.
"Rest assured. Since I asked this way, I naturally have medicinal pills that can heal this kind of spiritual soul deficiency." Han Li waved his hand at Lady Yin Yue and chuckled, then flipped his hand, and several other medicine bottles of different colors appeared in his hand, which he also threw to Old Ancestor Ao Xiao.
"Many thanks, Brother Han, I knew you had vast supernatural powers and would definitely have a way." Lady Yin Yue was naturally happy, and the gaze she cast toward Han Li was naturally filled with a trace of gratitude.
Old Ancestor Ao Xiao's eyes lit up, and after rolling his sleeves to take these medicine bottles, he also checked them, then also expressed his thanks with a mix of surprise and joy.
"Haha, now it seems that both of us will have to bear the favor of Daoist Han's medicinal pills!" Seeing this, Mo Jianli appeared exceptionally happy.
Old Ancestor Ao Xiao also nodded with a chuckle.
"The two of you are too polite. Back when Han had not yet achieved the Great Dao, I received much care from the two Daoists; this is just a slight repayment of the kindness from those years. After a year, once Brother Mo's vitality has recovered, the two of us will set off for the Spirit Race and strive to ask for a few more Three Pure Thunder Heaven Talismans. As for Daoist Ao Xiao, just stay in the clan to recuperate well and make more preparations for the tribulation. Once the two of us get the items, we will immediately rush back to the clan and will definitely not delay the major event of your tribulation." Han Li said with a serious expression.
"The kindness of the two of you, Ao will keep in mind. However, if it is truly impossible, the two of you should not be too reluctant, so as to avoid encountering any mishaps. Now there are only three of us Great Ascension existences in the two races; no matter which one has an accident, it is an irreparable major loss for the clan. Even if I get the Three Pure Thunder Heaven Talisman, the hope of passing the heavenly tribulation is not very high, and it is not worth taking too great a risk." Old Ancestor Ao Xiao sighed, then suddenly stood up, clasped his hands, and bowed deeply to Han Li and Mo Jianli respectively.
Han Li naturally also stood up and hurriedly returned the bow.
But Mo Jianli sat still, yawned, and said with a smile that was not a smile.
"Haha, I am not you; if it weren't for the fact that the Spirit King has more than one secret talisman in his hand, I might not really have made this trip."
"With the friendship of tens of thousands of years between you and me, can Ao not tell if these words are sincere!" Old Ancestor Ao Xiao sighed, the gratitude in his words not diminishing in the slightest.
Mo Jianli was slightly startled, then smiled without saying anything.
"Now that I think about it, the words Daoist Mo said at the beginning about not wanting me to leave the clan were mostly to lead to this matter; were they not insincere?" Seeing this, Han Li suddenly said with a smile.
This time, Mo Jianli's old face really turned red, and a trace of embarrassment appeared.
Lady Yin Yue, who was on the side, saw this situation and felt relieved in her heart, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.
If Han Li and the other could really bring back the Three Pure Thunder Heaven Talisman, her grandfather would finally have a sliver of possibility of passing the next heavenly tribulation, which naturally made a trace of expectation sprout in her heart.
In the following time, the few changed the topic and chatted about some matters regarding the reconstruction of the two races.
From the two, Han Li also learned that the losses caused by the Demon Race invasion to the Human and Demon races had finally mostly recovered after these years of effort.
During this period, a new batch of junior disciples with astonishing aptitude had also appeared in the two races, and the names of several of the most outstanding geniuses among them were even known to these two Great Ascension stage Old Ancestors.
Upon hearing this, Han Li was naturally quite interested and asked some relevant questions.
Just like this, the few stayed in the hall for half a day before finally dispersing to their own affairs, fully satisfied.
In the evening, Han Li met a batch of his disciples, including Hai Dashao and Qi Lingzi, in a cave dwelling on the Holy Island where the spiritual energy was extremely dense.
When Han Li swept his gaze over the disciples, he could not help but reveal a satisfied expression, but when his gaze condensed and landed on Bai Guo'er, the youngest disciple, a trace of surprise flashed across his face!
