Chapter 621

"Senior Brother's words make sense. Net However, since this Du Dong has the Cold Moon Wheel, it's not strange for him to enter the final round. What's going on with that one named Han Li? Does he also have a high-tier magic tool?" The middle-aged man with the mustache asked again.

"That's not the case. Although I don't know if this Junior Nephew Han possesses a high-tier magic tool, this Junior Nephew is quite generous in his attacks." The man at the late Foundation Establishment stage said with a wry smile.

"What do you mean? What does being generous have to do with the trial?" This time, the old man with the sallow complexion asked with interest.

"In his first match, this Junior Nephew Han threw out more than thirty fireball talismans at once, causing his opponent's barrier to shatter before he could even deploy his magic tool. In the subsequent matches, he deployed martial arts from the mortal world and a clever technique for manipulating flames, combined with talismans, to barely defeat his opponents and win." The young man replied respectfully.

"Martial arts and techniques aside, there's nothing strange about that. Many people have learned skills before joining the sect. But using so many talismans at once is indeed quite costly in spirit stones; for us, it naturally doesn't count for much, but for a Qi Condensation stage disciple, it's a bit extravagant. Have you checked on this disciple?" The white-whiskered old man asked with a sinking expression.

"I have checked. I heard from several low-tier disciples who have associated with him that although this person is a rogue cultivator, he seems to be proficient in talisman-making and has quite a bit of wealth. That's why he could use low-tier talismans with such a grand gesture." The young man replied respectfully.

"Oh, that makes sense. It seems that neither of these two has any problems. However, since this person knows some talisman-making techniques, it would be more appropriate to assign him to Fire Cloud Peak." The white-whiskered old man said with a relaxed expression.

"Senior Brother Feng, that's not right. Our Heaven Spring Peak also has disciples proficient in talisman-making, and we can still help this person. Senior Brother Duan, you wouldn't really want to take him, would you!" The cultivator surnamed Xin smiled and said.

"Haha! Our Fire Cloud Peak has one more talisman-making disciple, it's not too many, and one less, it's not too few; we won't snatch Senior Brother Xin's disciple." The red-shirted cultivator waved his hand and said boldly.

The middle-aged man surnamed Xin smiled and remained silent.

In the following time, these Core Formation stage cultivators discussed some sect matters and then left one after another.

……

Han Li had already returned to his cave dwelling on the small stone mountain and was standing outside the spirit beast room with a rare solemn expression, looking into the stone room with flickering eyes.

Not long ago, he had just finished the final round of matches and was talking with several Heaven Spring Peak disciples who came to congratulate him on his victory, when the Soul-Calling Bead in his body suddenly began to roll hot. This startled Han Li, but he immediately realized that the Soul-Eating Beast in the cave dwelling had finally advanced to the end and was calling him.

Han Li was pleasantly surprised and naturally wouldn't say anything more to those Heaven Spring Peak disciples; he hurriedly said goodbye and immediately returned to the cave dwelling.

As a result, when he stood outside the spirit beast room, he was given a big fright by the situation inside the stone room.

Only to see that the stone room had become dim and lightless at some point, gloomy and terrifying, with black ghost energy flying everywhere, and there was an endless icy cold Yin energy leaking out from the stone room.

The Soul-Eating Beast had disappeared, and in a corner of the stone room, there was an extra oval-shaped cocoon-like object about a foot in size, pitch-black and shiny, with black thorns flickering on it, as if it were gestating something.

Han Li didn't need to think to guess that the Soul-Eating Beast was inside this black cocoon.

While feeling a bit excited, he also had a bit more caution on his face.

Han Li didn't rashly enter the stone room, and after thinking about it, he sat cross-legged outside the spirit beast room.

According to the classics he had read before, when a spirit beast evolves, it is best for the master cultivator to stay by its side and not leave, but also not to easily interfere with the spirit beast's evolution. Unless the spirit beast's evolution fails and its life is in danger, then one should intervene to save it.

Now, he was prepared to do as it said.

Amidst his inner anxiety, time passed slowly.

According to Han Li's original estimate, he thought it would take at least a few days for the Soul-Eating Beast to finish evolving and break out of the cocoon. But he didn't expect that he had only sat outside the stone room until the morning of the second day when the black cocoon produced a mutation.

Han Li, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, suddenly heard a crisp cracking sound. Although the sound was very low, he opened his eyes with great joy.

Only to see that in the stone room before him, the cold ghost energy was sucked away by some great force and flew toward a corner of the stone room; that was exactly where the black cocoon was located.

Then the black light in the room became dazzling, and Han Li subconsciously closed his eyes. Then a trace of a somewhat familiar but strange aura suddenly appeared in the stone room.

Han Li raised his eyebrows, stood up without thinking, tapped lightly on the stone door with both hands, and the door to the spirit beast room was opened.

Standing at the stone door, Han Li scanned with his eyes and saw that the black cocoon had already shriveled into two pieces, and it was empty inside.

The other corners of the stone room were also empty of anything.

Han Li was stunned for a moment and was about to release his spiritual sense to search when black light appeared out of thin air in a corner of the stone room. After a low cry, a black shadow shot toward Han Li.

Han Li was shocked and wanted to dodge, but after a thought, he stood firmly in place without moving.

As a result, a cold little thing flew into Han Li's arms, and then he grabbed it.

"This is?" Han Li grabbed the little thing before him, and a look of surprise surged onto his face.

The little thing that appeared in his hand was a miniature monkey the size of a fist, which should undoubtedly be the evolved Soul-Eating Beast. At first glance, except for the fact that its entire body's fur had changed from silver-white to pitch-black, other places seemed to have no changes.

But after examining it several times carefully, Han Li finally discovered two differences from before.

Under the Soul-Eating Beast's large nose, between the two nostrils, there was an extra tiny hole, which one wouldn't notice at all if one looked carelessly.

This Soul-Eating Beast restrains ghosts and spirits, always relying on the Soul-Eating Light sprayed from its nose. Could it be that with an extra hole under its nose, this fierce beast is even more powerful than before?

Han Li felt like laughing and crying at the same time, let's hold a trace of expectation for it for now!

As for the other strange feature of the Soul-Eating Beast, it was that a blood-colored evil ghost pattern had appeared on the fur of the beast's back at some point, as if it were a ghost shadow.

And the evil ghost in the pattern had a single horn on its head and three eyes. Although it was extremely faint, it was lifelike, giving people a sense of ferocious oppression at first glance.

Yin Yue was also amazed by the changes in the Soul-Eating Beast in Han Li's mind, but she couldn't provide any useful opinions.

Because of refining the Soul-Calling Bead, this beast was obviously much more affectionate toward Han Li, constantly rubbing its furry little head against Han Li's lapel.

And Han Li, holding this pitch-black little monkey with one hand, also had a subtle feeling of knowing the other's joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and couldn't help but laugh.

He played with this beast with great interest for a while, and seeing that the beast seemed a bit sleepy and started yawning, he carefully put it into the spirit beast bag.

After leaving this spirit beast room, Han Li went to the insect room next door to take a look. The golden-silver-colored Gold-Eating Insects inside were now only a few dozen left, having almost devoured each other, and were preparing to lay eggs.

Looking at these beetles that were obviously three times larger than before, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, and then he left the insect room and entered the quiet room to begin his routine cultivation.

After winning the selection trial that day, the referee who announced his victory had told him that these selected disciples could receive one-on-one guidance from several Core Formation stage cultivators, but before that, they could only cultivate hard on their own. And the guidance from the Core Formation stage cultivators would only last for a few days, and when it was his turn, he would be notified by a sound transmission talisman.

Han Li naturally wouldn't worry about the guidance from Core Formation stage cultivators. Anyway, when he was truly notified, he would just go over and deal with it for a few days.

Now he was holding the Spirit Eye Jade and cultivating silently in the secret room.

As for the artifact spirit Yin Yue, she was also released, possessing the body of the demon fox, and cultivating together next door.

Speaking of which, Yin Yue possessing the body to cultivate was truly unbelievable.

According to Yin Yue herself, although her artifact spirit cultivation had the cultivation of the late Core Formation stage, the demon fox body she possessed only had the cultivation of a low-tier demon beast, and was even just stepping into the threshold of a Rank 1 demon beast.

So although she could use the demon fox body to exert astonishing cultivation, the duration was very short, and she could never increase her cultivation by even a single point through cultivation. But the cultivation of this demon fox body, although shallow, could be slowly increased in the future, which was where she would settle down in the future.

So after Yin Yue possessed the demon fox body, under the consumption of some low-tier pills provided by Han Li, her cultivation increased rapidly every day at an astonishing speed.
