Chapter 394
"Red Coral Island! This is the nearest coral island, let's just do it here!"
Han Li stood on the Divine Wind Boat and murmured to himself, then drove the magic tool to quickly circle around the island and circled in the air for a while. Net
After confirming that there were indeed no other cultivators or demonic beasts near the coral island, Han Li and Qu Hun landed on the island slowly.
The area of the small island is not large, and it has an irregular ring structure, pieced together by numerous coral reefs of varying sizes, east one string west one string.
Han Li stood on the smooth solid ground, rubbed the dark red sand-like powder under his feet with his leather boots, and raised his head to carefully examine the island's terrain.
After a while, he narrowed his eyes, showing a look of deep thought.
Suddenly, Han Li ordered Qu Hun to guard the vicinity, and he himself began to walk around the island.
With Qu Hun guarding, Han Li spent two days looking east and west on this island.
He inspected every section of the coral island. Even at the end, he dived into the seabed in the middle of the ring island and didn't come out for half a day.
When the third day arrived, Han Li finally stopped, and he had already made a decision in his heart!
He ordered Qu Hun to set up three great arrays, the "Inverted Five Elements Array," "Heavenly Wind Fierce Array," and "Illusionary Form Heavenly Net Array," on several selected sections of the island.
These great arrays just happened to block the three necessary paths to the center of the Red Coral Island.
Then, Han Li used all the remaining array-setting tools in the center of the Red Coral Island, and set up several small magic arrays to thoroughly seal the surroundings.
In this way, it should be called a net of heaven and earth.
After doing all this, Han Li checked it carefully again, and after confirming that there were indeed no omissions, he fished out a jade box from his bosom.
After stroking the surface of the jade box for a while with one hand, Han Li showed a mysterious smile and gently opened the lid.
Inside was a spiritual herb about an inch in size with a single stem and thirteen leaves!
The dozen or so leaves of this herb were all curled into cylindrical shapes, looking somewhat peculiar.
But what is even more amazing is that its whole body is white and misty, emitting faint rays of light, appearing exceptionally dazzling. It has a bit of the appearance of an immortal object.
This is the greatest trump card of Han Li's trip, the "Neon Dress Herb."
In fact, although this herb cannot be said to be a common object, it is not an extremely rare thing, and this herb can be found on the coral reefs of the Chaotic Star Sea.
But if it is planted in ordinary soil, and the surrounding environment is not colorful, then it will wither and die in a day or two, which is quite interesting.
What is most wonderful is that the light it emits will always be consistent with the environment in which it grows, and will change with the change of the environment's color, meaning it may emit red light, or it may emit blue light and other colors.
However, its medicinal effect is not important to cultivators, and it is completely different from its attractive appearance. It is just a medicinal guide for refining some low-level pills, and generally will not attract the attention of cultivators.
But another weird name for the "Neon Dress Herb" — "Luring Demon Herb," once caused quite a stir in the Chaotic Star Sea cultivation world.
At that time, I don't know which cultivator discovered it unintentionally. This extremely gorgeous medicinal herb, although it has thirteen curled cylindrical leaves as soon as it appears, will gradually unfold one leaf every hundred years, and the unfolding process will last for six or seven days, and at the same time emit a strange smell.
This smell has no effect on cultivators, but for most demonic beasts in the sea, it is full of incomparable temptation.
As long as they smell this smell, demonic beasts within a certain range will move upon hearing the wind and come to find it, and immediately scramble to swallow it.
And the older the Neon Dress Herb, the wider the range it can affect when unfolding its leaves, and the temptation to high-tier demonic beasts also increases.
It is said that a Core Formation stage expert once discovered a "Treasure Light Herb" over a thousand years old deep in the Outer Star Sea by chance. And this herb happened to be unfolding its eleventh leaf.
As a result, this expert witnessed with his own eyes the feat of dozens of Rank 6 or Rank 7 demonic beasts rushing toward him, scaring this expert into fleeing in a panic.
Thus, after this discovery was made public in the cultivation world.
Many cultivators had the idea of using this herb to lure demonic beasts, so they could kill demons and take cores.
Because, for high-tier cultivators coming to the Chaotic Star Sea to kill demonic beasts, the most headache-inducing thing is that they often wander on the sea surface for months, and the scene of not finding a single demonic beast appears.
For most cultivators, Rank 5 demonic beasts are the best targets to take action, and Rank 6 or Rank 7 ones have to risk the danger of someone dying. And demonic beasts above Rank 8, apart from the old monsters of the Core Formation stage, cultivators of other ranks are all fleeing at the sight of the wind.
Otherwise, it is not killing demonic beasts, but feeding them.
The number of demonic beasts in the Outer Star Sea is indeed very large, but as long as they don't surface, they lurk in the deep sea and don't come out, and they are not easy to find at all!
If it weren't for the fact that high-tier cultivators can drive magic tools for tens of thousands of miles a day and have the divine ability to search the sea surface and the seabed with spiritual sense, it would be normal for them to wander in the Chaotic Star Sea for half a year or a whole year without encountering a single demonic beast.
After all, apart from the fact that the Outer Star Sea is too large, most demonic beasts have their own unique concealment means, and even if they use spiritual sense to search, they are easily ignored.
Now that the magical effect of "Neon Dress Herb" in luring demonic beasts appeared, it naturally caused a stir in the cultivation world at that time.
For a time, hundred-year or several-hundred-year "Neon Dress Herbs" were extremely expensive.
But soon these people discovered that this idea was simply a daydream.
First of all, they couldn't master the accurate leaf-unfolding time of the "Neon Dress Herb."
It is said that one leaf unfolds every hundred years, but it is normal for there to be an error of two or three years. These cultivators who go out to sea cannot effectively use this period of time.
Secondly, they also depressedly discovered that these Neon Dress Herbs actually had a weird habit of not being able to be pulled out before a hundred years after being planted.
Otherwise, the Neon Dress Herb would lose its magical effect of unfolding leaves and emitting smell.
In this way, their idea of bringing the Neon Dress Herb that was about to unfold leaves with them and transplanting it to the Outer Star Sea was also shattered.
Thus, the name "Luring Demon Herb" was abandoned by cultivators not long after, and it still returned to the name "Neon Dress Herb."
Han Li saw the relevant information recorded as a joke in a jade slip.
He had a flash of inspiration at that time, and thought of the magical effect of waiting for the rabbit to come after the magical small bottle and this spiritual herb were cleverly combined.
He immediately purchased a batch of Neon Dress Herb seedlings from the marketplace and did experiments in his own cave dwelling.
Sure enough, after dripping green liquid on it, in as little as one or two days, or as long as four or five days, the Neon Dress Herb would definitely unfold a leaf. And during the unfolding process, it also emitted a strange smell; this smell is not good to smell, nor is it foul, but a strange smell that leaves a deep impression.
Han Li, with suspicion in his heart, put two Blood Jade Spiders into the medicinal garden, and as a result, these two spirit beasts immediately jumped over excitedly, and swallowed the few Neon Dress Herbs emitting strange smells without hesitation.
Following that, the smell disappeared, and these two white spiders immediately returned to normal.
Han Li, while overjoyed, observed the Blood Jade Spiders for more than ten days, and there was no abnormality, so he felt relieved.
With this trump card in hand, he was full of confidence in his journey to kill demons and take cores.
After preparing again, Han Li not only brought a large number of Neon Dress Herb seedlings and the small bottle, but also specially chose the Ningcui Island sea area with numerous coral islands and teleported over.
After all, only in places with numerous corals can the Neon Dress Herb survive.
Nowadays, he has set up a net of heaven and earth on this Red Coral Island, just waiting for the Neon Dress Herb to be ripened, and then let the demonic beasts automatically send themselves to the door.
Han Li found an isolated coral reef in the center of the ring of the coral island and transplanted the Neon Dress Herb seedlings from the jade box to it.
Although he knew that the older the Neon Dress Herb, the wider the range it would affect when unfolding leaves, for the sake of safety, he still started from the hundred-year Neon Dress Herb.
Han Li fished out the small bottle from his body and carefully dripped a drop of green liquid onto the Neon Dress Herb.
Then he began to close his eyes and rest on the nearby coral island, and Qu Hun had long since returned to his side, resting and gathering energy together.
When the third day arrived, the Neon Dress Herb finally showed signs of unfolding leaves under Han Li's eyes, and emitted a strange smell.
Han Li didn't say a word, suddenly a flash of light appeared in one hand, and several array flags of different colors appeared around him, and were neatly inserted into the ground before him.
Han Li looked at these array flags for a while, and closed his eyes again without moving his expression.
He had already thought about it; if no demonic beasts appeared after a few days, he would drip another drop of green liquid to expand the range of the Neon Dress luring demons again.
In this way, there would always be demonic beasts sending themselves to the door.
Han Li in the coral island, waiting for the demonic beasts to come.
