Chapter 538

After asking Wen Siyue for the location of the Wind-Splitting Beast's nest, Han Li casually left a bottle of pills for her to take and refine. Wen Siyue was naturally very grateful in her heart and immediately closed her door to refine the medicinal power with great joy.

Han Li entered another secret room, preparing to study the newly acquired copper piece.

He was now sitting cross-legged in the secret room, carefully examining the object in his hand.

The copper piece only had characters engraved on one side, while the other side was an extremely strange picture, actually depicting a monster with three heads and six arms.

This monster had three heads with wide-open angry eyes, and six arms raised toward the sky, not knowing what the intention was.

After looking at it for a while with furrowed brows, Han Li took out the animal skin book and compared the characters on the two items.

Only then did he discover that the characters on the copper piece and those on the animal skin book had mostly the same structure, but there were slight differences in the details. They seemed to come from the same source, but had evolved into different fonts.

Unable to see any clues from the surface, Han Li did not hesitate to inject magic power into the copper piece.

Following the injection of magic power, the copper piece emitted a low, clear sound and trembled automatically.

Suddenly, the light shone brightly, and the copper piece shot out a yellow, hazy beam of light, spraying it onto the opposite stone wall.

An active, ancient scroll immediately appeared.

Han Li was happy in his heart at first, but upon looking, he was stunned again.

A humanoid demon beast covered in scales with a single horn on its head appeared in the painting. The appearance of this demon beast was exactly the same as the three-headed, six-armed monster carved on the back of the copper piece, only it had one head at this time.

Han Li was just wondering about it.

After a flash of light, the demon beast in the painting sat on the ground, its hands forming a strange hand seal, and its entire body twisted slightly, assuming a strange posture.

Han Li revealed a look of astonishment.

After a while, the demon beast's hand seal changed, its body twisted again, and it changed into an even more peculiar sitting posture.

Every once in a while, the humanoid demon beast would change into an inexplicable posture and hand seal, as if it were practicing some kind of technique.

After a full half-hour, the copper piece's luster dimmed, and the picture disappeared.

Han Li had the intention to count, and the demon beast in the painting had changed into thirty-six postures in total.

Han Li rubbed his nose, looked at the thing in his hand, and his face was full of strange expressions.

Although he did not know what the content of the characters on the copper piece was, judging from the picture, this item was definitely not something from human cultivators; it recorded demon cultivation techniques.

He had never known before that high-rank demon beasts also had cultivation techniques. Weren't demon beasts born to swallow spiritual energy and practice on their own?

Judging from the fact that it was a demon beast that could transform into human form that was practicing the technique, this technique was definitely extraordinary.

However, looking at the copper piece in his hand, Han Li's expression turned into one of crying and laughing.

Even if he could understand the characters on it, would he dare to practice demon cultivation techniques?

Besides, he was not lacking any high-rank techniques now! The complete Xuan Yin Classic was still honestly lying in his storage bag.

Thinking about it this way, no wonder that dark-skinned cultivator would take this thing out for trade in a mysterious way; it was basically a useless item!

Han Li felt that he seemed to have fallen for a not-so-small trick, and he felt a bit depressed in his heart.

Since the characters on the copper piece were the unique inheritance of demon cultivation, even if he searched through more human classics, he would not find any clues.

Looking at it this way, there was no need to spend effort to figure out the content of the animal skin book. It was estimated to be the same demon cultivation technique.

Han Li let out a long breath, threw both items into his storage bag with an unlucky expression, and walked out of the stone room.

With his expectations falling through, Han Li was naturally somewhat disappointed in his heart.

However, he quickly adjusted his mood, preparing to leave this place and go to the abyss sea area.

The matter of the Companion Demon Grass was the top priority for him, directly related to whether he could go one step further on the path of cultivation!

And after he took the five-colored round bead, he felt that his cultivation aptitude had been changing for the better over these years.

Now, although he still could not compare with those with extraordinary talents like "Heavenly Spiritual Root" or "Mutated Spiritual Root," in terms of absorbing spiritual energy and converting spiritual power, he was about the same as a three-spiritual-root cultivator.

The Heaven-Mending Pill was truly worthy of its name! It gave Han Li another hope for condensing his Nascent Soul.

When Han Li came out, Wen Siyue was still in the closed-door room refining the medicinal power. It was estimated that she would not come out for two or three months.

Han Li did not disturb the woman. After thinking about it, he left a few magic tools and the incantation to control the cave array in her bedroom, and then left this place alone.

Above the island, Han Li looked around, identified the direction, and turned into a green rainbow, heading toward the abyss.

Along the way, Han Li encountered several demon beasts and wiped them out without any politeness.

Occasionally encountering human cultivators, Han Li did not intend to pay attention to them, flying directly past from a distance.

A month later, Han Li finally approached the vicinity of the Qiyuan Sea Area.

At this time, he began to restrain his aura and hide his tracks.

This place was the nest of high-rank demon beasts, and Han Li was naturally extremely cautious, not daring to have the slightest bit of luck.

Sure enough, on the road ahead, Han Li frequently encountered various demon beasts, but thanks to his sufficiently mysterious concealment technique, he still approached this sea area without any danger.

A few days later, Han Li stopped moving forward. In the air, looking at a small island faintly visible in the distance, he had a solemn expression on his face.

The eighth-rank demon beast nest that Wen Siyue spoke of was on this island.

Han Li did not dare to barge into it in a grand manner. If that adult Wind-Splitting Beast happened to be in the island's nest, wouldn't he just be sending himself to his death?

By the same token, he dared not release his spiritual sense to scan the island roughly.

Thus, Han Li found a reef exposed above the water in the distance of the island and set up a small illusion array nearby.

He himself sat and practiced on it while patiently monitoring the direction of the island.

He dared not act easily until he was sure of the movements of the eighth-rank demon beast.

It was a pity that the Neon Grass had no attraction to demon beasts above the eighth rank. Otherwise, if he used this grass to lure away the adult Wind-Splitting Beast, he would not have to be so miserable.

Now he could only wait bitterly.

Day after day passed. Han Li sat on the reef, watching the island from afar, for several months.

On the small island, no demon beasts were seen.

Even if Han Li had more patience, he could not sit still in his heart.

"Could it be that the adult demon beast is not on the island, or has the Wind-Splitting Beast already abandoned this nest? The island is empty." Han Li began to be suspicious.

After another month, there was still no result.

Helpless, Han Li finally made up his mind to enter the island to see what was going on.

He could not really waste several years on this reef!

The next day at dawn, just as the sky was brightening, Han Li restrained all his spiritual energy and quietly drove his escape light, landing on the small island.

He had known this small island like the back of his hand after observing it secretly for several months.

After flying to the mountainside of a stone mountain, Han Li, just as Wen Siyue had said beforehand, saw a pitch-black cave entrance hidden by several giant rocks, which was several feet in size.

Han Li's gaze narrowed slightly. After applying several auxiliary techniques to his body, his figure disappeared into thin air.

Han Li, now invisible, walked in cautiously and slowly released his spiritual sense, probing the surroundings from time to time.

This cave was very deep and went straight down all the way, and the further he walked, the more humid it felt.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Han Li appeared at a corner and stopped his steps, a look of tension appearing on his face.

Han Li slowly closed his eyes and scanned the front with his spiritual sense.

A moment later, a strange expression appeared on his face.

Han Li pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and walked past the corner.

The scene before him suddenly brightened, and a natural giant cave appeared. It was over a hundred feet wide and over ten feet high.

The stone walls and the top of the cave flickered with faint green light, and in the middle was a turquoise water pool, steaming with heat.

Around the water pool grew some strange grasses and trees.

Han Li's gaze fell on the few small black grasses an inch long among the grasses and trees, and a look of excitement faintly shot out from his eyes.

This was the Companion Demon Grass he had been looking for!

Only the Companion Demon Grass near an eighth-rank demon beast was black; those below the eighth rank were gray.

When Han Li looked at the water pool in the middle, the joy on his face flashed and passed, and his expression became solemn.

If the Wind-Splitting Beast were in the cave, it would most likely be under this water pool. Although he had long used his spiritual sense to scan this water pool, this water pool seemed unfathomably deep. He only scanned a small section before he withdrew his spiritual sense in shock.

Han Li licked his lips and did not hesitate anymore. His figure flashed, and he appeared by the water pool. Then, he patted his storage bag lightly with one hand, and a jade box appeared in his hand. With his other hand, he grabbed toward the ground in the void extremely quickly.
