Chapter 582: Stone Talisman and Beast Crystal (Part 2)

On the way, he met several villagers. Seeing that Han Li's face was somewhat unfamiliar, they looked at him curiously, but no one came up to question him. Net

Han Li arrived at his destination very easily.

Looking at the pitch-black stone house that was extremely dilapidated, Han Li hesitated for a moment before pushing it slightly, but the stone door didn't move at all.

Could it be that there was some mechanism on this door? Han Li felt a bit surprised in his heart. But he himself had already taken a deep breath and used his full strength in both arms.

Although he hadn't practiced any external martial arts, after the marrow-washing and meridian-cleansing of Foundation Establishment and Core Formation, he had the strength of over a hundred jin.

A heavy "creaking" sound came. Although very slowly, the door was finally pushed open inch by inch.

This made Han Li feel happy.

Only then did he discover that for some reason, this door was more than twice as thick as an ordinary stone door. Being so heavy, no wonder he almost thought there was a mechanism on the door just now.

Han Li flashed into the room, and a smell of decay and dampness rushed toward his face.

His expression tightened, and Han Li hurriedly held his breath.

A moment later, the air from outside poured in, and the atmosphere in the room gradually returned to normal.

Only then did he let out a light breath and, borrowing the faint light from the door, examined the situation in the room.

This place was extremely simple; apart from rows of stone tablets of similar size around, there was only a rough stone table in the room.

The stone tablets were about a zhang wide and two zhang high, which could be considered quite huge. This made Han Li feel startled after seeing them.

And on that stone table, there were no classics or bamboo slips of any kind. There were only a few magic tools that seemed to have lost their luster.

The surprise on Han Li's face quickly disappeared, and instead, he laughed at himself after thinking about it.

This was not the outside world; where would he find paper or bamboo wood? As for things like jade slips, they couldn't be used without spiritual power.

These stone tablets were clearly the classics that recorded things in this place. On them, presumably, were the cultivation experiences left behind by those cultivators.

As for the magic tools on the stone table, it seemed they were like his own flying swords, all things that the owners hadn't had time to put away before they were sucked into this place together with their owners. Naturally, they couldn't be put back into the storage bags.

As for those storage bags, Han Li didn't see any in the room. It seemed those owners had other ways of dealing with them and didn't display them here.

After Han Li finished looking at the situation in the room, he walked casually to a stone tablet and swept a glance at it.

It was covered in thick dust, gray and hazy, making it impossible to see what was engraved on it.

With a frown, Han Li leaned forward, not minding the dirt, and then tore off a piece of his clothing to wipe it.

A moment later, clear inscriptions appeared before his eyes.

This was not the text currently circulating in the cultivation world, but a relatively rare ancient script. But fortunately, Han Li had dabbled in many things, so he could easily recognize it.

But Han Li only looked at it for a few moments before losing interest.

This was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator recording his life experiences. Han Li naturally had no interest in reading more. He immediately turned to the other stone tablets.

There were more than twenty stone tablets in the room. When Han Li wiped to the sixth stone tablet, he finally stayed with a flash of movement. This was exactly the cultivation experience left by the Nascent Soul stage cultivator he was looking for.

Han Li stood in front of the stone tablet without moving. I don't know how much time passed before he finally let out a long breath, revealing a complex expression on his face.

"Condensing a Nascent Soul, it turns out there are so many taboos. It seems that if I didn't know these things, even with the help of the Nine-Curved Spirit Ginseng, my probability of condensing it successfully wouldn't be very high. This time falling into the Yin-Underworld Land is really a matter of both misfortune and fortune!" Han Li muttered to himself a few times.

Although this stone tablet didn't record a specific cultivation technique, the nameless Nascent Soul stage cultivator recorded his detailed experience from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation, and then to condensing the Nascent Soul. Han Li was both surprised and happy after reading it. With the guidance of this Nascent Soul stage cultivator's experience and insights, he could avoid many detours and avoid some original wrong ideas about condensing the Nascent Soul.

He read this stone tablet several times, confirming that there were really no omissions, before he turned his face with satisfaction and looked at the remaining stone tablets.

The remaining stone tablets really didn't have anything useful for him. Even if there were some cultivation techniques and incantations on them, for him who possessed the Profound Yin Scripture, he couldn't look at them at all.

After a meal's time, Han Li saw the last one.

He brushed off the dust absent-mindedly and looked at this stone tablet slightly, but revealed an unexpected look of astonishment on his face.

The stone tablet before him was completely different from the previous ones. It was densely engraved with tiny characters the size of rice grains, and the size of the characters was far from what the previous ones could compare to.

And Han Li swept a glance, and the characters on it were two completely different scripts: one was the ordinary ancient script he knew, and the other was the demon beast script he had seen many times.

Han Li's curiosity was aroused, and he immediately stepped forward to observe carefully.

As a result, after looking at just a little bit, Han Li became slightly excited.

This stone tablet was a scripture specifically teaching the demon beast script. And it was extremely detailed, explaining word by word. This was absolutely engraved by a cultivator who was well-versed in the demon script.

Although it was impossible for Han Li to master it immediately after reading it, memorizing the entire text and then slowly comprehending it later would make it not difficult to truly master the demon beast script.

In this way, he could understand what kind of demon cultivation technique was recorded on the demon copper piece he had obtained and that scroll of animal skin book.

As for whether humans could really practice demon cultivation techniques, Han Li wouldn't think too deeply about it.

Even if those techniques were of no use to him, learning these demon scripts would only be beneficial and not harmful. Who knew if they would have other uses in the future?

After all, this opportunity was truly rare!

Spending a relatively long period of time, Han Li relied on his ability to never forget what he had seen to memorize the characters on both sides of the stone tablet word for word.

Only then did he let out a long breath and leave the room. As for the magic tools on the table, he didn't even look at them.

After leaving the stone house, Han Li circled around the village several times. When he saw some relatively unique buildings, he would go up and take a few more looks, and chat with the villagers nearby.

Fortunately, these original inhabitants of the village seemed relatively simple. Although they couldn't be said to be very enthusiastic about him, a stranger, they answered everything they knew.

With this, Han Li quickly figured out some common-sense things about the Yin-Underworld Land.

For example, because there were no iron mines or the like here, they had to use the bones of several special, hard Yin Beasts to make weapons.

Of course, it wasn't that these bones could be directly used as weapon materials, but they had to be soaked in a liquid called "Deep Water" beforehand.

In this way, these bone materials were not only harder than before by thirty percent, but also carried some Yin-fire power. After being forged into blades, they had special lethality against Yin Beasts.

But because the Yin-fire could not last long, these weapons had to be soaked in "Deep Water" every once in a while to ensure their lethality didn't diminish.

This made Han Li feel some curiosity about this so-called "Deep Water"!

In addition, there were a few days of Yin wind every month in this Yin-Underworld Land. During these days, most areas would be blown by icy, bone-chilling black Yin winds, and humans simply couldn't move around during this period. Once covered by these Yin winds, humans would definitely turn into black ice sculptures. Only in the village, relying on the cover of some magic spells, could the people in the village be safe and sound.

But conversely, during the Yin wind days, it was the time when Yin-Underworld beasts were most active, and there were often cases of single or groups of Yin beasts attacking the village, making the people in the village always feel terrified.

Han Li learned quite a few such messages. Even on a whim, he asked about the identity of the white-faced man with narrow eyes who seemed to be unfriendly to him.

Only then did he know that this person was named Feng, and was also an outsider who had been sucked in a few years ago.

But he didn't know what this person did originally, but he possessed astonishing martial arts and had killed powerful Yin beasts several times. He had made great contributions to the village, so he was recommended as an elder in the village at a young age. Among the young people, his prestige was not low.

Han Li listened to these words, although he couldn't be said to have any fear in his heart, he also frowned secretly, feeling it was a bit tricky.

After strolling around the village for a while, seeing that there was nothing else to see, Han Li walked slowly toward his room.

Just as he reached the door, Han Li heard a man's voice coming from the room.

"How about it? What I said just now was all sincere words. As long as Miss Mei is willing to marry me, not only will food be absolutely worry-free in the future, but you won't have to risk your life going out of the village frequently. And I have been single for so many years, not a promiscuous person, but truly moved by you." It was the middle-aged man surnamed Feng, who had arrived in the room at some point.

"How about it? Everything I just said came from the heart. As long as Miss Mei is willing to marry me, not only will you have absolutely no worries about food in the future, but you also won't have to leave the village frequently and risk your life. I have been single for so many years, and I am not a man of loose morals, but have truly given my heart to you." It was the middle-aged man surnamed Feng, who had arrived in the room at some unknown time.
