Chapter 540

"Fellow Daoist, please sit!" The Wind-Splitting Beast sat down on a chair in a grand manner and then beckoned to Han Li.

Han Li did not say anything and sat down opposite this demon cultivator as instructed.

"Excuse me, I haven't asked for your surname, Fellow Daoist? I am Feng Xi." The Wind-Splitting Beast narrowed its eyes halfway and asked gently.

"My surname is Li!" Han Li hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

"Hehe, so it is Fellow Daoist Li. You must be a bit confused in your heart, Fellow Daoist. Actually, if other human cultivators appeared before me, although I don't belong to the Sea Clan, I would still most likely grab and kill them. There was never any harmony between humans and us demon cultivators to begin with." Feng Xi touched the silver crown on his head and said with a smile that was not a smile.

"In that case, does this junior have any special features in your eyes, Senior Feng?" Han Li felt a chill in his heart and asked with a forced smile.

"You are only at the Core Formation mid-stage, yet you dare to boldly venture deep into this place. You are relying on the mysteriousness of your concealment technique, right!" Feng Xi's green eyes flashed, and he said slowly.

"Concealment technique?" Han Li was stunned, and immediately thought of the nameless incantation in the animal skin book.

"Not bad, your Qi-refining technique looks somewhat familiar to me; I have seen it before with an old friend. But what's strange is that this technique should be the secret transmission of my old friend. You, a human cultivator, how can you perform it." Feng Xi asked with a strange expression.

Han Li naturally would not easily mention the animal skin book, and for a moment did not know how to answer, falling silent.

Feng Xi saw Han Li reveal such an expression, leaned back slightly, and laughed lightly.

"Fellow Daoist, don't worry, my old friend has been dead for many years, and I don't have the intention of forcing you to explain. It's just that I am a bit curious about humans being able to use our demon secret techniques. The biggest reason why I didn't take action against you, Fellow Daoist, is that you are practicing an extremely pure wood-attribute technique. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to sit here alive." Feng Xi said indifferently.

The reason why the other party did not take action was because of the attribute of his technique. Hearing this, Han Li was truly surprised, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Feng Xi did not say anything after looking at Han Li's shocked expression. Instead, he flipped his hands, and after a flash of white light, a simple and unadorned golden pot appeared in one palm, and a delicate white jade cup appeared in the other.

Then, he lifted the wine pot and poured the extremely turquoise liquid into the jade cup. A fragrant and thick wine aroma instantly filled the entire hall.

This humanoid demon beast took a deep breath, revealing a look of infatuation on his face, but he flicked his finger lightly, and the jade cup slid steadily to Han Li.

"Come, Fellow Daoist Li, try my homemade Green Flame Wine first. This is a true spirit wine that takes over a hundred years to brew a jar. It has a little bit of benefit to cultivation. Perhaps, Fellow Daoist, you can take this opportunity to break through the current bottleneck!" Feng Xi stared at Han Li and said with deep meaning.

Upon hearing this, Han Li was shocked first, looked down at the liquid in the wine cup, and felt a sense of horror in his heart.

The other party could even see that his cultivation was stuck at a bottleneck; he was truly possessed of great supernatural powers.

But Han Li did not believe that this wine could help him break through the bottleneck.

He did not know how many pills for improving cultivation he had swallowed; if he could break through cultivation with medicinal power, he would have long since practiced the ninth layer of the Azure Origin Sword Art, so why would he wait until now?

Moreover, without knowing what the other party's intentions were, how could he drink this wine at will?

Following these thoughts, a look of hesitation appeared on Han Li's face.

The Wind-Splitting Beast's eyes flashed with cold light, as if he had seen through Han Li's thoughts, and his expression suddenly sank.

"Why! Afraid that I, Feng, have done something to the wine? Don't forget, if I really want to take your life, Fellow Daoist, it's just a matter of a flick of a finger!" Feng Xi said coldly.

"What Senior said is not wrong. But this junior still wants to clarify the real reason for not killing me first. Otherwise, I would rather be careful." Han Li's face turned pale, but he looked at the wine cup in front of him and said with gritted teeth.

The other party's intention to make him drink this wine was becoming more and more obvious, and Han Li's suspicion rose greatly.

Feng Xi seemed a bit surprised, his face turned cold, and he faintly emitted a gloomy aura.

Han Li's heart "thumped," and he instantly wrapped the Dry Blue Ice Bead in his abdomen with true essence, staring at the other party cautiously, remaining silent.

After a long while, Feng Xi furrowed his brows, and his expression softened again.

"It seems that if I don't tell the truth, Fellow Daoist Li will really misunderstand my good intentions." After pondering for a while, Feng Xi said in a deep voice.

"This Green Flame Wine is not only troublesome to refine, taking a hundred years, but it must also use a transformation-stage demon core as the main ingredient. And only our Wind-Splitting Beast clan has the method to brew this wine. Other demon cultivators, even if they have the recipe, cannot refine it into wine because of their natural talents. To me, this wine is just something to satisfy my appetite. But to a Core Formation stage cultivator like you, Fellow Daoist, after drinking it for the first time, there is a great possibility that it will stimulate the true essence in your body and break through the bottleneck in your cultivation."

"Of course, the reason why I would take out such a precious thing for Fellow Daoist Li to drink is mainly for my own sake. I, Feng, need to borrow your wood-attribute technique to handle an important matter. But the Core Formation mid-stage cultivation is truly too low. Actually, even if ordinary cultivators reach the Core Formation late-stage, they are still a bit lacking for my matter. But your technique, Fellow Daoist, is not bad, and your magic power is deep, far beyond cultivators of the same rank. In this way, it can barely help. Of course, if Fellow Daoist Li insists on not drinking this wine, I know what the consequences will be, Fellow Daoist, you should be very clear about it!"

Feng Xi knew that without explaining everything clearly, the other party would not obey, so he directly spoke the words above.

Han Li heard these words, his expression changed several times, and after a while, he asked dryly again.

"What if I drink this wine and still cannot break through the bottleneck?"

"Hehe! Then Fellow Daoist Li will have no use. And my Green Flame Wine is not easy to refine, so I will take your life, Fellow Daoist, to compensate for it!" Feng Xi sneered, but also told him frankly.

Although Han Li had already guessed the consequences, his face still twitched after hearing this.

"Good, I'll drink!"

After pondering for only a short while, Han Li retracted his uncertain expression and said with a deep breath.

Feng Xi heard this and was overjoyed.

Han Li patted the table with one hand, and after a flash of green light, the turquoise liquid in the wine cup automatically turned into a water line and flew into his open mouth.

Han Li did not even taste it, and these liquids went straight into his abdomen.

"Good. I knew Fellow Daoist Li would make a wise choice. Follow me, I have long prepared a quiet room." Feng Xi said with a satisfied expression.

Then he stood up and walked toward a side door.

Han Li did not say a word, following him with a calm expression.

Under the leadership of this demon cultivator, Han Li turned left and right for a while before arriving in front of a fiery red stone wall.

After looking at it carefully, Han Li was surprised to find that this red-shining stone wall was actually cut from a giant coral reef.

Just as Han Li was confused, Feng Xi patted the coral wall with one hand, and after a flash of white light, a small arched door a foot wide appeared automatically. Then this demon stood to one side, signaling Han Li to enter first.

Han Li hurriedly looked into the door, and it was fiery red inside, with scorching heat surging out from the door. It looked like it had some tricks!

Han Li's eyelids jumped twice, and he walked in with a deep breath.

After seeing the situation inside clearly, Han Li revealed a look of surprise.

That Poisonous Dragon and the Turtle Demon were indeed standing in the room, but what surprised Han Li a bit was that it was a place of earth fire.

Only a square platform over ten feet large appeared in the middle of this room, filled with roaring and scorching fiery red flames rushing about in the pool. And around the platform, a complex and giant refining array had already been set up. Han Li only looked at this array for a few moments before feeling secretly shocked in his heart.

With his current attainments in weapon refining and arrays, although he could not immediately understand the mysteries within, this array was definitely extraordinary and not something he could set up.

Seeing Han Li walk in, the Poisonous Dragon and the Turtle Demon only swept a cold glance at him and turned their faces away as if they didn't see him.

"Alright, everyone is here now. I have already explained the refining principles of the array to the two brothers, Wu and Gui. And Fellow Daoist Li just needs to stand in the corner of the array and do nothing, providing wood spiritual power to the array continuously. From now on, Fellow Daoist Li, don't let your imagination run wild!" Feng Xi pointed to a corner of the array and said to Han Li with deep meaning.

"Now that this junior is letting my imagination run wild, what use is it?" Han Li looked at the earth fire pool and replied with a bitter smile.

Feng Xi saw this, but revealed a sneer on his face, clearly not believing Han Li's words.

Han Li saw this, but his face still maintained a bitter expression, while he secretly cursed "Old Monster" in his heart.

Then he walked to a corner of the array and sat cross-legged.

Feng Xi saw Han Li honestly walk to his designated position, nodded with satisfaction, and then said politely to the Poisonous Dragon and the Turtle Demon:

"Two brothers, also enter the array. Prepare yourselves!"

The Poisonous Dragon and the Turtle Demon heard this and walked forward a few steps without objection, standing on the array eye they had long remembered.

Feng Xi then laughed lightly and patted the storage bag at his waist.

The bag flew out automatically, floating slowly above the earth fire pool, the bag mouth turned upside down, and a sheet of rosy light sprayed out.

In the rosy light, a small group of silver light suddenly appeared there. Then it grew from small to large, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a pair of bone wings, white and phosphorescent, a foot large.

These bone wings, one missing the upper half of the wing tip, and the other tattered and incomplete.

Although at first glance, they were not worth looking at. But these residual bones shone with silver light, emitting a huge pressure, making people feel awe-struck.
