Chapter 666: Frost Flower and Blue Flame

After hearing what this woman said, Han Li finally had a rough understanding of the Wood Spirit Infant he had restricted.

This thing was somewhat similar to his Soul-Devouring Beast, also a spirit object refined by humans. However, judging from the fact that they could swallow the primordial spirits and Nascent Souls of cultivators, they were clearly much more ferocious. At the very least, the previous Soul-Devouring Beast could not be compared to it.

Han Li's thoughts turned, but his words changed, and he suddenly said something that caused Liu Yu to be astonished.

"The few Six-Winged Frost Centipedes you drive are also extraordinary. Where did you get them? According to normal circumstances, with your cultivation, it seems you wouldn't be able to possess such ancient spirit insects. Could it be that your fellow sect members or so-called Junior Uncles and Senior Uncles haven't coveted this object?"

"Senior also recognizes this spirit insect! This Junior found many ancient eggs of this insect from an abandoned cave dwelling of an ancient cultivator. I originally thought they were dead eggs and impossible to hatch, but after trying, I accidentally hatched a few. However, the sect Elders said that although these spirit insects are ancient strange species and have infinite divine abilities after reaching adulthood, they are extremely difficult to cultivate. Even if all conditions are met, it would take more than a thousand years for them to grow up. Therefore, no one has any designs on them. This Junior also felt that their divine abilities were not small even when they were young, so I have been reluctant to replace them with other types of spirit insects." Liu Yu said somewhat surprised. At the same time, she was puzzled in her heart. Why did the other party ask about this spirit insect? Could it be that with the other party's cultivation, he would also take a fancy to these centipedes?

However, even if a Nascent Soul stage cultivator could live for a thousand years, it was impossible for them to truly spend their efforts cultivating these Six-Winged Frost Centipedes. They couldn't afford such a long time either.

Just as Liu Yu was puzzled, Han Li glanced at her and said something that caused the woman's heart to thump.

"I am very interested in your Six-Winged Frost Centipedes, and I have a way to raise them by one or two tiers in a short time. I don't know if Fellow Daoist is interested in making a deal with me." Han Li said calmly.

"What does Senior want this Junior to do? Just say it." Liu Yu's bright eyes flowed, and she said with a charming smile, revealing a charming style.

But Han Li ignored this and just continued to say indifferently:

"I can help Fellow Daoist mature these few Six-Winged Frost Centipedes. But the insect eggs they lay must be handed over to me. I have other uses for them. And I heard that the Spirit Beast Sect's insect-controlling secret techniques have many unique aspects. I don't know if Fellow Daoist is willing to teach me one or two."

"Insect-controlling secret techniques?" Liu Yu's originally smiling expression froze.

High-tier secret techniques related to controlling insects and beasts have always been the most important cultivation techniques of the Spirit Beast Sect. If they were easily leaked to outsiders, it would truly be a crime of betraying the sect.

Even though Liu Yu had long been prepared to not disobey Han Li at all, hearing this still caused her expression to change drastically, and she secretly felt bitter in her heart.

"Senior should know that unauthorized leakage of sect cultivation techniques is a crime punishable by soul-extraction and refining. If this Junior leaks the secret technique to Senior, I don't know how Senior will deal with this little girl." Liu Yu looked at Han Li and said somewhat uneasily.

"As long as I get the insect eggs and the techniques I want, you can leave on your own. I will not stop you in the slightest. As for whether you return to the Spirit Beast Sect or join another place, the world is vast. Don't you still have a place to stand?" Han Li said lightly, as if what he was saying was just a trivial matter.

Hearing this, Liu Yu's expression became uncertain. After a long while, she bit her red lips and smiled bitterly:

"Senior speaks lightly. This Junior knows her own situation very well. If I become a rogue cultivator, this little girl will never think of condensing a Nascent Soul in this life. Moreover, this Junior now knows Senior's identity and background. How could Senior truly let this little girl leave so easily? I am afraid I still cannot escape death." This woman seemed to see through this matter very thoroughly and said slowly and miserably.

"Then what do you intend to do? Do you want me to swear a poisonous oath, or use this to threaten me?" Han Li did not get angry upon hearing this, but said without changing his expression.

"Threaten? This Junior would not dare. This Junior only seeks a way to protect herself." Liu Yu shook her head and said calmly.

"How do you want to protect yourself?"

"If Senior doesn't mind, this little girl wants to join Senior's sect from now on and become Senior's disciple. I don't know if you can agree?" Liu Yu lowered her head and said something that surprised Han Li.

"Join my sect?" Han Li was truly surprised.

"That's right. With Senior's cultivation, being this Junior's Master is naturally more than enough. And only by getting protection under Senior's sect can this Junior dare to tell Senior the Spirit Beast Sect's cultivation techniques without any scruples. Otherwise, even if Senior doesn't kill me, this Junior will be hunted down by the Spirit Beast Sect for the rest of my life." The white-clad woman's jade-like face revealed a hint of fear.

Han Li frowned and tapped the armrest of the green stone chair a few times, revealing a look of contemplation.

"Since you say so, joining my sect to seek self-protection is not impossible. However, I must make it clear to you first: I must place a Restriction of Divine Sense on you. I will not ask much about your cultivation in the future. In a word, you can be my named disciple, and then join the Falling Cloud Sect to cultivate on your own. Do you still intend to do this?" Han Li said with a half-smile.

"Placing a restriction, this is naturally what should be done. After all, this Junior was a Spirit Beast Sect cultivator before. As long as Senior can protect this Junior's safety, this little girl will have no complaints. As for guidance on cultivation, I was originally a person who luckily picked up her life, so I naturally dare not over-expect." Liu Yu seemed to understand the thoughts of bitter cultivators like Han Li quite well and agreed without hesitation.

Hearing this woman agree so readily, Han Li fell silent instead. After a strange light flashed in his eyes, he nodded and said:

"Good! Since Fellow Daoist has even agreed to such conditions, I naturally will not go back on my word. Tomorrow, I will take you to see the other two Elders of the Falling Cloud Sect. From now on, you will change your name and join the Falling Cloud Sect!"

"Thank you, Senior, for your kindness." Liu Yu felt relieved in her heart, knowing that her life was truly saved, and hurriedly thanked him with a big bow.

"You go back to the original quiet room and rest for a while. In a moment, I will execute the Restriction of Divine Sense on you, and then undo the magic power restriction on your body." Han Li waved his hand, letting the woman go out first.

Liu Yu thanked him again and respectfully retreated from the main hall.

Yellow light flashed on a wall of the main hall, and Silver Moon appeared from the wall out of thin air.

"Why, you haven't changed back to your original form!" Han Li glanced at the young woman before him and asked indifferently.

"The cultivation of this servant's demon fox body has improved quite a bit compared to before. The time for transformation is naturally a bit longer. But Master, do you really intend to take this woman as a disciple? I remember that Master didn't like taking disciples before, for fear of involving too many causes and effects, which would delay your cultivation. Are these Six-Winged Frost Centipedes really that important to Master? Otherwise, if you just want the insect-controlling secret technique, you could completely execute the 'Dream-Inducing Technique' to force a soul-search." The young woman's eyes rolled slightly, and she asked with a charming voice, puzzled.

"What you said is not wrong. I am determined to get these Six-Winged Frost Centipedes. Do you know how long it would take me to finish refining all the Dry Blue Ice Flames according to the current progress, refining one wisp at a time?" Han Li leaned back, saying with a lazy expression.

"I don't know, at the very least it would take..." Silver Moon was stunned by Han Li's question and hesitated for a while, unable to make an accurate judgment.

"To tell you the truth, refining one wisp requires a buffer of one year. To refine all the ice flames for my own use, it would take at least more than two hundred years. This time is too long. And the cold air sprayed by these Six-Winged Frost Centipedes can greatly shorten the refining time, and it seems that it also has another miraculous effect of enhancing the Dry Blue Ice Flames." Han Li finished saying this indifferently, and raised both hands, extending a finger from each.

As a result, in Silver Moon's surprised gaze, white and blue lights flashed at the tips of his fingers.

A frost flower as white as snow and a blue ice flame appeared on his fingertips, floating lightly, exceptionally exquisite.

"This..." Silver Moon let out a surprised sound.

Han Li had already blown a breath of air without changing his expression, and a small piece of green glow sprayed out instantly, wrapping the frost flower and the blue flame within it.

The frost flower and the blue flame instantly turned into dots of starlight, intertwining and mixing together.

Then, a low cracking sound came out, and a dazzling blue-white light shone. Within the green glow, a purple flame bird appeared suddenly, its wings flapping slightly, flying and dancing, exceptionally agile.

Looking at the purple bird the size of a finger, Han Li revealed a look of satisfaction, and deep within his eyes, there was even a hint of excitement.

"Silver Moon, do you still remember the Asura Sacred Fire executed by the old demon Xuan Gu back then?" Han Li exhaled a long breath and suddenly said.

... ===== CHAPTER 667 =====

"Yin Yue, do you still remember the Asura Sacred Fire that the old demon Xuangu once unleashed?" Han Li let out a soft breath and suddenly asked.
