Chapter 239: Book Page

Seeing Han Li was so tactful, Li Li Huayuan's expression revealed a hint of satisfaction. Then, he reached out and grabbed lightly into the void. Instantly, a streak of red light flew from his hand, then rolled up a jade slip and brought it back to his hand.

Li Li Huayuan didn't even look at it and handed it directly to Han Li. Then, he used the same method to grab seven or eight more things before stopping. At this time, Han Li was holding a large pile of things, already overwhelmed by what he saw.

"These cultivation techniques are all of the type where magic power refines quickly and they are easier to practice. Pick one as your main cultivation technique. The rest must be put back in their original places. After you have finished picking, tell me." Li Li Huayuan said indifferently to Han Li, then sat cross-legged on a cushion in the stone room.

Han Li felt his eyes were a bit dazzled. Although there weren't many cultivation techniques, they were indeed each unique.

For example, in the "Return to Origin Art," besides the fast increase in magic power, there was also a very practical small supernatural power called "Return to Origin Spirit Armor." It could add a layer of defensive magic technique when fighting enemies, and one could also use magic power to condense a spirit armor to add another layer of protection, which could be called an excellent means of saving one's life. Moreover, this spirit armor could also increase its defensive power as the Return to Origin Art progressed.

Another jade slip recorded the "Illusion Spirit Art," which was also quite good. The attached supernatural power, "Phantom Shadow," could conjure phantoms identical to oneself at any time and place to confuse enemies. The higher the level of cultivation, the more phantoms one could conjure, and the more one could confuse the enemy's line of sight.

Besides these two cultivation techniques, the small supernatural powers attached to the others, although not very powerful, were all extremely effective for self-preservation and escape. It seemed that the people who created these cultivation techniques were very clear that these techniques couldn't compete with others, so saving one's life was the most important thing.

But after Han Li browsed through them all, a golden book page in a jade box gave Han Li a shock.

Because the style and size of this book page were too familiar. Han Li was certain it was exactly the same as the silver book page in his hand. The only difference was that this book page seemed thinner, and it didn't have those strange patterns, but instead had dense ancient characters. However, after looking closely, what was recorded on it was just an ordinary technique called "Condensing Origin Art," and the supernatural power was also just an extremely ordinary auxiliary technique called "Spirit Gathering Art," which could accelerate the gathering of spiritual energy during cultivation.

After Han Li flipped through this golden book page several times, the suspicion in his heart surged. However, he also knew that this was not the time to hesitate and solve the mystery. Although he had the urge to take out the silver book page from his storage bag and compare them immediately.

But he had to make a decision now, otherwise, it would make his master suspicious.

Thinking of this, Han Li weighed this golden book page, and in his heart, he made a choice in an instant.

So, he opened his mouth and said to Li Li Huayuan, who was resting with his eyes closed:

"Master, I have already chosen. This is the cultivation technique!"

Li Li Huayuan opened his eyes upon hearing this, saw the golden book page in his hand, and was slightly stunned. However, he didn't say anything, nodded, and brought him out of the stone room.

After returning to the main hall, the young woman was waiting for the two of them. After seeing them, she first smiled gently and then asked:

"How is it, have you picked it?"

"Thank you for your concern, Mistress. The disciple has already picked it!" Han Li said respectfully.

"That makes me feel relieved!" The young woman smiled happily again, seeming even more concerned than Han Li, which made Han Li slightly stunned.

"Alright, since the life-saving grace of your Mistress has been repaid! Now it's time to talk about accepting you into my sect! Are you truly willing to enter my sect and officially become a disciple of Li Li Huayuan?" Li Li Huayuan suddenly said with a stern expression.

Han Li felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly knelt forward, saying:

"Disciple Han Li is absolutely sincere and dares not have the slightest falsehood."

Although Han Li said this, he muttered in his heart:

"If you treat me sincerely, I will naturally be sincere and fulfill my duty as a disciple. If you have any bad intentions, I won't be stupid enough to let you manipulate me!"

Li Li Huayuan naturally didn't know what Han Li was thinking, otherwise, he would have destroyed Han Li with a palm long ago.

"Good, we cultivators keep everything simple. From today on, you are an official disciple of Li Li Huayuan. I hope you will cultivate diligently in the future and not weaken the reputation of Li Li Huayuan!" Li Li Huayuan then relaxed his expression and said with a smile.

Next, Han Li and Li Li Huayuan naturally had a period of harmonious master-disciple interaction. After receiving Li Li Huayuan's teachings, Han Li took his leave not long after.

When leaving the cave dwelling, he happened to run into that eldest senior brother again. As a result, this person insisted on seeing his junior brother off. But Han Li, who had tasted the other party's nagging magic sounds yesterday, how could he ask for trouble? He refused repeatedly, and finally, under the other party's regretful expression, he finally got rid of the entanglement and flew away on his magic tool.

Standing on the small boat, Han Li recalled everything that had happened in these two days.

This master, Li Li Huayuan, gave him a much better impression than before, and his attitude was completely different from the Forbidden Area trip. He didn't know if it was because of his indirect life-saving grace to the Mistress, or because he had successfully established his foundation and finally gained the attention of this Core Formation stage cultivator.

But regardless, Han Li felt that this trip had not been in vain. Not only did he have a big backer in the cultivation world, but he also obtained a golden book page, which gave him hope of uncovering the mystery of the silver book page.

Even if he couldn't solve it, Han Li didn't care. At most, he would just practice the "Condensing Origin Art" on it. Although this technique didn't have any great supernatural powers, Han Li had other plans for self-preservation, so he wasn't worried about this.

After returning to his cave dwelling, Han Li immediately entered the bedroom and eagerly took out the golden and silver book pages from his storage bag, comparing them carefully.

The silver book page was still in its original appearance. When Han Li placed it under his eyes and overlapped it with the golden book page, sure enough, the size and outline were exactly the same. It was clear at a glance that they were related.

Han Li tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly took the silver book page alone and examined the strange patterns on it, stroking it non-stop.

At this time, his eyes were flickering, seemingly having a huge problem that he couldn't make up his mind about.

However, a resolute expression appeared on Han Li's face.

He suddenly placed the book page between his two hands, then rubbed it gently. Instantly, the silver book page was enveloped in a ball of fiery red flames, reflecting Han Li's face in a fiery red. But he didn't care at all, just staring fixedly at the book page in the flames. At this time, because of the high temperature, the surface of the book page had already begun to melt.

Suddenly, Han Li's expression shifted, and then a look of joy appeared, because the silver book page after the surface melted actually revealed a golden light. Sure enough, there was something hidden inside.

Seeing this, Han Li carefully manipulated the flames, not letting them burn the golden interlayer. But Han Li was clearly over-worrying; the newly revealed golden book page seemed to not fear the baking of these flames at all, without any sign of deformation.

After the new golden page was completely revealed, Han Li waved his hand, and the flames disappeared immediately. Then, with his heart pounding, he read the newly obtained book page.

He only read the beginning, and he was stunned, then his expression became extremely ugly.

Because this book page was actually a sword cultivation technique teaching people how to control flying swords and specifically how to practice sword light. Although it seemed very miraculous, it was fundamentally not what Han Li wanted.

It seemed that the barefoot man from the Giant Sword Sect back then had practiced the things on this. But these techniques might be a treasure for Qi Refining stage cultivators, but for Han Li, who had now completed Foundation Establishment, they were just ordinary, and he couldn't raise any interest in them at all.

Han Li still refused to give up!

He flipped through it again and again, and even burned it with flames once more, but there were no other discoveries.

Han Li, who had been busy for most of the day, became more and more angry the more he looked at this golden book page.

After putting in so much effort, he had obtained a useless thing; it was truly depressing. Especially the two words "sword light" stimulated Han Li even more. Because he himself had practiced a Qingyuan Sword Light, did he need to practice another sword light?

With a gloomy face, Han Li suddenly grabbed the book page, threw it into mid-air, and then raised his right hand. A cyan sword light as thick as a bowl mouth shot out of his hand and hit the book page directly. Han Li was prepared to completely destroy this thing, as looking at it was truly suffocating.

With a "puchi" sound, the explosion Han Li imagined didn't come. Instead, the cyan sword light disappeared without a trace as if it had sunk into the sea, as if it had been swallowed.

"This is..." Han Li was shocked, but then his heart stirred, and he suddenly became excited.
