Chapter 703
The remaining jade boxes were also opened one by one by Han Li. 【Web】
In one jade box lay a small green porcelain bottle. In the other lay a mass of purple, hazy things the size of a fist.
Casually opening the green bottle and sniffing it under his nose, an extremely pungent scent rushed toward him.
Han Li's expression changed drastically, and as if seeing a poisonous scorpion, he hurriedly replaced the bottle cap, then looked at the small bottle a few more times with a strange expression before cautiously putting it into his storage pouch.
Finally, his gaze fell on the object emitting purple light. He took it in his hand and gently squeezed it with his five fingers; it was incomparably soft, and strands of light flashed within the light mass, bright and dazzling.
"Eh!"
Han Li let out a surprised "eh," gathered his spiritual sense into a point, and probed the object.
A moment later, he suddenly shook his hand, and the light mass in his hand instantly transformed into a patch of purple mist, circling above his head. But after a spell was cast upon it, it revealed its original form and fell back into Han Li's hand.
It was actually a purple silk net, layered and thin as silk, with fibers as fine as nothing, crystalline and glowing; one look and it was known to be a rare treasure.
"Isn't this the 'Purple Cheng Pouch'? This is an ancient treasure with quite a reputation from the prehistoric era." Once the white fox saw the purple crystal net clearly, she blurted out in surprise.
"You know this object? Famous and renowned, could it be a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure?" A look of joy flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he asked while suppressing a trace of excitement in his heart.
"That's not it. Although the Purple Cheng Pouch is also a top-tier existence among ancient treasures, compared to a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, it is far inferior. However, in terms of defensive divine abilities alone, it is indeed infinitely miraculous. Depending on the size of its refined power, once this treasure is deployed, it is enough to cover a range of a hundred to a thousand feet; it is a rare, large-scale defensive treasure. It is said that the most top-tier 'Purple Cheng Pouch' ancient treasure can even cover living beings within a hundred miles at once, protecting them from harm. I just don't know if that's true or false! Of course, this treasure is also extremely sharp for trapping enemies, and can autonomously release 'Jade Yang True Fire,' enough to wipe out powerful enemies." Lady Yin Yue spoke as if she were talking about her own family's treasures.
"Lady Yin Yue, you seem to know this 'Purple Cheng Pouch' very clearly; could it be that you have seen it before?" A look of disappointment flashed across Han Li's face, but he weighed the purple net in his hand and asked with a strange expression.
Upon hearing this, Lady Yin Yue fell silent, and only after a long while did she say with a wry smile:
"Master, now that you mention it, I just realized. In my remaining memories, before I was refined into an artifact spirit, I seem to have had such a Purple Cloud Pouch ancient treasure. That's why I know it so clearly."
As Lady Yin Yue spoke, a look of contemplation flashed in her eyes, as if she had remembered something, but then she shook her head and gave up in frustration.
"Since this Purple Cloud Pouch is so powerful, I haven't heard of Master Master Cangkun using this treasure to fight enemies; it seems ten to one it's a treasure obtained from that Fallen Devil Valley. It's a pity that among the four jade boxes we obtained, there is no information about Fallen Devil Valley. It seems that the relevant things should have happened to be in the two jade boxes of Marquis Lord Nanlong. It's really a pity." Han Li said self-deprecatingly, but his brows didn't really show much frustration.
He also knew very well that while obtaining the secret of Fallen Devil Valley would give him a chance to enter the valley to retrieve treasures in the future, at the same time, it would ten to one make him a target for everyone. As long as the news leaked, he didn't know how many old monsters and large forces would come knocking on his door.
The pros and cons of this were really hard to say!
"Master, isn't it in that jade slip?" Lady Yin Yue finally couldn't help but ask one more question.
"That jade slip records Master Master Cangkun's cultivation techniques and divine abilities. Although I cannot cultivate the main cultivation technique 'Moon-Gazing Technique' within it, several secret arts and some insights on cultivation can be used for reference. They are of great use to me." Since Lady Yin Yue asked, Han Li didn't intend to hide it and told her indifferently.
Lady Yin Yue sighed upon hearing this, looking somewhat dispirited.
At this moment, Han Li put away all the jade boxes, gave Lady Yin Yue a word of instruction, closed his eyes, and sat cross-legged in meditation.
Lady Yin Yue didn't stand on ceremony and curled up her fox body close to Han Li, opening her pitch-black, bright eyes and staring at the empty corner, lost in thought.
The Mulan people's caravan moved forward bit by bit. Han Li and Lady Yin Yue stayed safely in the carriage. Two days and two nights passed.
During this period, the caravan encountered two waves of spellcaster inspections.
But after Han Li was woken up by Lady Yin Yue, he cast a spell, and these low-tier spellcasters naturally left without finding anything.
This carriage was a vehicle specifically for storing unimportant items, and none of the Mulan mortals in the caravan had ever entered the carriage to take a look.
As a result, as soon as the caravan left the Mulan Grassland, Han Li immediately carried Lady Yin Yue and left the caravan without anyone knowing, entered the wilderness from another path, and headed straight for Tiannan.
Relying on the power of his spiritual sense, Han Li could clearly sense the existence of spellcasters from a hundred miles away, so he easily avoided some unnecessary trouble, successfully passed through the wilderness section, and entered the Fengyuan Kingdom of the Nine Nations Alliance.
Fengyuan Kingdom was one of the three countries closest to Mulan, and usually, many Nine Nations Alliance cultivators were stationed on several spirit mountains at the border.
But in the few days Han Li entered Fengyuan Kingdom, he didn't see a single cultivator along the way, but he discovered quite a few auras of spellcasters patrolling and wandering everywhere.
Apparently, the Nine Nations Alliance had been caught off guard by the Mulan spellcasters' all-out sneak attack, and after an unfavorable first battle, they had temporarily retreated.
The real great battle between the two sides should not have started yet!
Han Li didn't think much about this and just kept his head down and hurried along, specifically choosing remote and desolate places.
After three or four days of peace, on this day, as he transformed into a cyan rainbow and had just flown over a nameless small mountain, he suddenly paused, turned his head to look to one side, a look of surprise appearing on his face, and then his expression became uncertain.
Under his spiritual sense just now, not far to that side, spiritual energy fluctuated violently, and faint baleful energy soared to the sky; clearly, there were cultivators with not-weak cultivation bases fighting there.
For such a large-scale battle to appear here, it was naturally ten to one a battle between cultivators and spellcasters.
He sensed it slightly more carefully; one of the magic power fluctuations was incomparably powerful, an existence at the Nascent Soul stage, while the other four or five people were all at the Core Formation stage, appearing to be joining forces to resist that Nascent Soul cultivator.
And among these Core Formation stage auras, there were one or two that Han Li felt somewhat familiar with, as if he had met them before.
Pondering in his heart, he couldn't remember who they were for a moment.
After hesitating, Han Li still couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart and flew away quietly.
With Han Li's divine Evasion Technique, at such a short distance, he naturally arrived in an instant.
As a result, spiritual light flashed in front, lights of various colors soared to the sky, and the sounds of explosions and whistling were endless, as if the battle was extremely intense.
Five male and female cultivators in different attire were joining forces to resist a spellcaster.
Han Li saw at a glance that although the five Core Formation male and female cultivators were doing their best and had each driven their life-bound magic treasures to perfection, they were still being forced to retreat step by step by the circles of yellow mist released by the yellow-robed bald spellcaster in the middle.
This yellow-robed spellcaster had a face full of fat and had the cultivation base of an early-stage Nascent Soul; although he hadn't released any magic treasures, he easily gained the upper hand by relying solely on a set of miraculous cultivation techniques and a profound cultivation base.
And if it weren't for the fact that this person was not willing to risk his life at all and was frequently showing mercy to one of the stunningly beautiful women, appearing to want to capture her alive, I'm afraid these five people wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.
But although Han Li felt that the stunning woman looked a bit familiar, his gaze fell on a fat old man with a body full of fat.
This old man had silver-white lightning arcs circling his body, and the magic treasure he drove was also a giant sword that kept emitting electric light; its power could be called the first among these five Core Formation cultivators.
"It's him? Things in this world are really a coincidence!" After seeing the fat old man's appearance and cultivation technique clearly, Han Li muttered to himself, but a complex expression that was hard to distinguish appeared on his face.
"You girl, don't be ungrateful. If it weren't for the fact that the cultivation technique this Master practices is missing a top-notch cauldron, how could I have spared your life until now? If you don't surrender to this Master, don't blame this Master for not knowing how to cherish the fair sex." The yellow-robed spellcaster had fought for such a long time and finally became somewhat impatient, saying with a ferocious face toward the stunning woman.
Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a yellow feather fan, which emitted great spiritual light, faintly painted with something, and was grabbed into the hand by the bald spellcaster.
Upon seeing this scene, the nameless Core Formation cultivators including the fat old man all changed their expressions drastically, knowing that it was bad.
How could they not know that the other party had not used their full strength all along. But they didn't dare to turn around and flee. Otherwise, once their joint force was broken, it would be easy for the other party to take them down one by one, and there would be no chance of survival.
Thus, while secretly complaining, the five of them could only bite the bullet and raise their full magic power again, increasing the power of their attacks.
Instantly, the five magic treasures' prestige rose, actually scattering quite a bit of the yellow mist, barely regaining some of their lost ground.
But the bald yellow-robed spellcaster was furious upon seeing this.
He offered the feather fan in his hand into the air, spat a mass of yellow hazy essence onto the magic treasure, and then chanted incantations in his mouth!
The feather fan shook amidst the chanting, and he fanned it lightly toward the few people opposite.
Instantly, whistling sounds rose, and a deep yellow gale surged out from the feather fan, growing huge in the blink of an eye.
The hurricane, tens of feet high, swept all five Core Formation cultivators into it at once.
