Chapter 588: Descent Talisman

"What do you mean by this?" Han Li just swept a glance at the bone box and didn't reach out to take it, instead asking without changing his expression. Net

Without knowing what was in the box, how could he recklessly take it?

"Fellow Daoist, don't worry. Inside is the refining incantation for the 'Descent Talisman,' one of the three spirit talismans of our Heaven Talisman Sect, which has always been learned only by the sect master. I have no other meaning; I just hope that if possible, Fellow Daoist can deliver this talisman refining method back to the sect on your way. I don't want our sect to lose this unique skill." The red-faced old man sighed and said. Afterward, he opened the box lid himself, revealing several bone pieces engraved with dense, tiny characters inside.

"Descent Talisman? Only the sect master can learn it; could it be that you are the sect master of the Heaven Talisman Sect?" Han Li revealed a look of hesitation on his face.

"Ashamed, Yun is indeed the fifty-seventh generation sect master of the Heaven Talisman Sect. Our sect is just a bottom-tier small sect in Huayun Prefecture of the Jin Kingdom, so I have been in the position of sect master with a Foundation Establishment cultivation base, which really makes Fellow Daoist laugh." The old man blushed and admitted.

Hearing what the other party said, Han Li's look of surprise flashed by, but he frowned. A moment later, he looked at the old man and said slowly:

"The refining method of this Descent Talisman, since only the sect master can learn it, must have its uniqueness. You give it to me like this, aren't you afraid that I will also learn the talisman-making method on it? And although I have heard of the reputation of the Great Jin Kingdom, I have never been there. Whether I will really have the opportunity to go there in the future, I don't even know myself. Isn't Fellow Daoist a bit too reckless!"

The red-faced old man heard these questions from Han Li, and there was no look of surprise on his face. Instead, he revealed a look of appreciation in his eyes and said:

"Since Yun handed this item to Fellow Daoist, it is actually tacitly allowing you to learn this talisman-making method, which can be considered paying Fellow Daoist Han's reward first. And to tell the truth, once you really read the refining method of this talisman, I am afraid you won't have much interest in it. Although the refining method of this Descent Talisman has been passed down from generation to generation in our sect, apart from the prosperous period of our sect, when two or three predecessor ancestors refined a few talismans, all other generations of sect masters have just treated it as a heritage, and no one has really refined this talisman. Our sect has become so weak now, and this is even more of a daydream."

"As for whether Fellow Daoist will go to the Jin Kingdom to return this talisman-making incantation? That depends on your intention. I am just seeking peace of mind. After all, this Descent Talisman is a unique talisman-making technique created by the founding ancestor of our sect. If it is lost in the cultivation world like this, I really have no excuse to give. Even if this talisman-making technique really cannot return to the Heaven Talisman Sect, having it circulated in your hands is better than it truly disappearing. In the future, when Yun goes to the Nine Springs to see the ancestors of the sect, I will at least have some excuses." The red-faced old man said with a bitter smile.

Han Li was speechless after hearing this.

It turned out that this sect master of the Heaven Talisman Sect was just seeking peace of mind. Looking at it this way, he was really only taking advantage and wouldn't suffer any loss.

If he didn't go to that Great Jin Kingdom, naturally he wouldn't need to return the bone box. If he really went to this legendary super-empire, it seemed that delivering something was just a matter of lifting a finger.

And what kind of magical talisman this Descent Talisman was, it seemed very difficult to refine, which made Han Li's curiosity aroused!

According to his increasingly broad experience, apart from those ordinary five-element magic spells that could be refined into talismans, there indeed existed special talismans with incredible supernatural abilities in the cultivation world, collectively known as secret talismans.

These secret talismans were difficult to classify into five-element dao arts, and often only individual sects possessed unique refining methods, which others wanted to imitate but found difficult to do.

For example, when he was plotted against by the Starry Palace Elder in the inner hall of the Xutian Palace and almost lost his life, the incarnation talisman that appeared, and the teleportation talisman specially made by the Starry Palace, were two different secret talismans. Of course, the value of the former was far above the latter.

After thinking slightly, Han Li didn't hesitate anymore and reached out to take the bone box, promising solemnly at the same time:

"What I can promise you is to try my best. Fellow Daoist, don't hold too high expectations."

"Hehe, that's enough! With these words from Fellow Daoist Han, Yun is extremely grateful." The red-faced old man heard Han Li say this, and felt even more relieved, thanking him repeatedly with a look of gratitude.

After chatting with Han Li for a few more sentences, he sensibly bid farewell and left.

And Han Li stood at the door, looking at the departing back of the other party, couldn't help but weigh the bone box in his hand; it was light, not looking like it had any mystery.

At this moment, Mei Ning, who had been standing behind Han Li without speaking, finally couldn't help but ask:

"This Descent Talisman name, I am hearing it for the first time. Is it really a very powerful talisman?"

"I don't know, but I estimate it's not ordinary!" Han Li glanced at the woman's face, which was as white as jade and as smooth as fat, and said with a faint smile.

Afterward, he returned to the table and sat down, picking up a bone piece and sweeping a glance at it.

"Eh!" After reading just two lines, Han Li exclaimed in surprise.

"Why, is there a problem with the talisman-making method?" Mei Ning also sat down opposite Han Li, her autumn eyes flowing, asking with a look of curiosity. Ever since that kiss, the intimacy between her and Han Li had increased unknowingly. The original restraint had mostly disappeared.

"Nothing. The materials needed to refine this Descent Talisman are really a bit heaven-defying! No wonder their Heaven Talisman Sect has the talisman-making technique but doesn't dare to dream of refining this talisman." Han Li finished reading the bone piece in his hand and put it back into the box, saying casually.

"What materials are needed that even Brother Han feels are heaven-defying?" Mei Ning became a bit confused.

"Other materials, that's all. But as the main material for the talisman, it is something that cannot be bought with spirit stones. It actually needs the essence soul of a demon beast at the Transformation stage to refine this Descent Talisman. You say, is that heaven-defying?" Han Li picked up the next bone piece and said with a faint smile.

"Essence soul of a Transformation stage demon beast?" Mei Ning gasped, her clear beautiful eyes full of astonishment.

However, she didn't notice that while Han Li was carefully looking at the bone piece in his hand, a hint of mysterious strange light appeared on his face...

After resting for a night, Han Li and Mei Ning didn't notify anyone else, and the two left the village under the surprised gazes of several guards.

When they stood at the edge of the chaotic stone piles again, looking at the yellow desert in front of them, Han Li identified the direction slightly and took Mei Ning toward the nearest village.

Han Li's idea was very simple: if this woman's brother was fine after arriving here, he must have arrived at other villages. When the time came, he would just take him away together.

Mei Ning also felt that Han Li's idea was indeed reasonable, and naturally had no objections.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, the two disappeared into the vast yellow sand, nowhere to be seen.

More than a month later, on a strange land that was red like blood, more than a dozen young men and women wearing gray clothes and holding bone spears were sneaking toward a high ground that looked like a mound, slowly surrounding it.

On the top of this high ground, there were several strange beasts with green bodies and short, thick necks, crawling there and sleeping curled up.

This was a kind of Yin beast called "Jade Toad Beast," with a small body and bumps all over its body. Although they looked ugly, they were one of the few Yin beasts in this Yin-Underworld Land that didn't contain highly toxic substances and could be eaten by humans.

These people were naturally here to hunt these Jade Toad Beasts to alleviate the food crisis in the village.

These people's movements were extremely agile, without a sound, and just as they were about to close the encirclement, one Jade Toad Beast suddenly opened a pair of blood-red eyes and immediately saw the humans who were only twenty or thirty zhang away.

The shout of "do it" from the humans and the warning hiss from the beast's mouth sounded at the same time.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen white-shining bone spears shot toward these Jade Toad Beasts.

As a result, most of the Jade Toad Beasts jumped up, but were immediately pierced by these spears and fell down. Only two of the most agile Jade Toad Beasts escaped this disaster. They were not completely uninjured, just because they dodged in time, the spears grazed them.

Among the Yin beasts, the Jade Toad Beast belonged to the lowest kind. Apart from being able to spray a few mouthfuls of Yin Qi, it had almost no sharp means of attack. But correspondingly, the speed at which these Yin beasts jumped and escaped was astonishing.

I saw the remaining two Jade Toad Beasts open their mouths, and two black Yin Qi balls the size of heads shot out fiercely. Then their hind legs kicked, and they jumped seven or eight zhang high, instantly escaping the humans' encirclement.

Although several people tried their best to throw spare bone spears, they were clearly a step slower and couldn't hit the bodies of the two Jade Toad Beasts at all.

Just as the two Jade Toad Beasts jumped a few times and rushed into a pile of strange stones not far away, a cyan light flashed, and the two Jade Toad Beasts fell straight from the air without a sound, thumping to the ground.

Green blood instantly stained the ground red.

This scene left the young men and women who were feeling frustrated dumbfounded.
