Chapter 758: Spirit Talisman and Dragon Soul

When Wei Wei Wuya and Supreme Master Brother Zhiyang were discussing Han Li lightly in the great hall, Han Li himself had already reached the main entrance of the great hall.

What surprised him was that he actually saw Dong Dong Xuaner outside the hall door at a glance.

This woman didn't know when she had come out of the side hall and was standing there with her head slightly lowered, as if thinking about some worry.

Those cultivators guarding the door, because they knew this woman came with the Yunlu Old Monster, naturally turned a blind eye and let her stand outside the hall door without paying any attention to her.

When Han Li came out, Dong Dong Xuaner seemed to have sensed something and looked up.

As a result, when she saw it was Han Li, a strange expression appeared on her face, as if she was somewhat at a loss, and also seemed to have a hint of jealousy.

This made Han Li somewhat confused.

He felt somewhat suspicious in his heart, but Han Li had nothing to say to this woman, so he immediately passed by her as if he hadn't seen her and walked slowly toward the street in the distance.

And Dong Dong Xuaner stood in place without moving, biting her red lips lightly, watching Han Li's back, without saying a word.

After turning a corner, feeling the gaze behind him disappear, Han Li frowned slightly without thinking and shook his head.

"Master, do you know that female cultivator?" Silver Moon's puzzled voice came from his mind.

"An old acquaintance from back then, but our relationship wasn't very good," Han Li replied indifferently.

"Is that so? But from this woman's expression, it seems her relationship with Master is quite unusual. Could it be that she was Master's..." Silver Moon said with a giggle, but deliberately left the second half of the sentence unsaid.

"Stop guessing wildly. I don't have any good impression of this woman, and we were even hostile back then," Han Li seemed somewhat unhappy and snorted coldly.

Silver Moon gave Han Li a ghostly face and then sensibly stopped speaking.

Ever since Han Li saved Silver Moon that day without questioning the loss of her Purple Chen Cauldron and flower basket ancient treasures, Silver Moon had clearly become much closer to Han Li.

Although she still didn't dare to be too presumptuous, she had clearly opened part of her heart to Han Li.

Han Li naturally sensed this point and also trusted her much more. Their relationship had improved greatly compared to when they first started.

After returning to the Luoyun Sect's station, Han Li naturally told Lu Luo a little bit about the discussion in the great hall.

"Why must Junior Brother take the risk to participate in the gambling battle? That Geng Essence is precious, but it is after all an external object. If Junior Brother suffers any mishap, what should be done!" Upon hearing that Han Li was going to participate in the gambling battle, Lu Luo immediately showed a look of worry.

Han Li smiled slightly and said easily:

"Senior Brother Lu, please rest assured. Since I am willing to participate in the gambling battle, I naturally have an eight or nine-tenths certainty of being able to retreat unscathed. Otherwise, how could I have agreed so readily? Instead, for the great war a few days from now, I will be unable to spare any attention for the safety of the other disciples in the sect. It will all depend on Senior Brother Lu to take care of them alone."

"For the great war a few days from now, I will naturally take more care of the disciples under the sect. Junior Brother, don't worry. Since Junior Brother has such confidence in the gambling battle, I won't say anything more. However, before the battle, if Junior Brother has any needs, just order the disciples under the sect to do it." Upon hearing Han Li's words, Lu Luo's expression finally eased.

Han Li smiled, but after pondering for a moment, he said slowly:

"For this great war, I truly need to make some preparations. There are some special materials that I am afraid I need a few Junior Nephews to help me collect."

Han Li didn't stand on ceremony and immediately took out a jade slip he had prepared long ago from his storage bag and handed it to Lu Luo.

"Rest assured, as long as the materials can be found in Tianyi City, I will definitely help Junior Brother gather them," Lu Luo said without hesitation after taking the jade slip.

Han Li felt a slight warmth in his heart, nodded, and after chatting for a few more sentences, he bid farewell and left.

The materials recorded in the jade slip he gave to Lu Luo were the auxiliary materials for refining the Spirit-Descending Talisman.

On the way back to the station, he had already thought about it.

Although he felt that with his current divine abilities, participating in the gambling battle would be no problem, he had always been cautious and felt that he should prepare another hand just in case.

Thus, he immediately thought of the "Spirit-Descending Talisman" method.

This was the only powerful killing move that could be prepared within a few days. Other things like re-refining flying swords or practicing the Great Geng Sword Array were simply impossible to complete within a few days.

The only thing that made Han Li somewhat worried was the success rate of refining this "Spirit-Descending Talisman."

Originally, he wanted to find a satisfactory spirit talisman pen and practice the talisman-making technique for a period of time before starting to refine the Spirit-Descending Talisman.

But now it seemed it was too late.

Even if the success rate was low, he had to give it a try. If the refining was successful, he would naturally have an extra killing move. If it failed, it didn't matter.

Anyway, within a few days, even if he made other preparations, it would be impossible to enhance his own strength.

Thinking this, Han Li arrived at the pavilion where he was staying without haste.

After entering the bedroom, he sat cross-legged on the bed and soon entered meditation, closing his eyes.

Don't say, the actions of the Luoyun Sect disciples were truly not slow; in just two days, all the materials Han Li needed were prepared and handed over to Han Li.

Seeing this, Han Li was overjoyed in his heart.

It seemed that being this Luoyun Sect Elder was truly not bad.

Carrying these materials, Han Li entered the secret room again, sat cross-legged in the middle of the secret room, and laid out the auxiliary materials in front of him one by one.

Finally, he took out a dark green small bottle from his storage bag and opened the bottle cap cautiously.

With a "puff" sound.

A blood-red light cluster shot out from the bottle.

But Han Li, who had been prepared, didn't change his expression, raised a hand, opened his five fingers, and grabbed into the void. A green-glowing large hand fished the blood-red light cluster into his hand.

Subsequently, green light flowed continuously, and his five fingers shook slightly, and the blood-red light cluster immediately revealed its original form in the green light.

It was actually a blood-red small dragon, several inches in size, spinning wildly in his palm, looking like it wanted to fly away at any moment.

But the surrounding green light was as if it existed or not, firmly trapping this dragon soul in the large hand, like a bird in a cage, completely unable to leave in the slightest.

Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly. Blue light flickered deep in his pupils, and he saw the Poison Dragon essence soul inside and out clearly with the Clear Spirit Eye.

Don't look at this blood-red small dragon jumping around so lively, as if it were exactly the same as when he collected it into the bottle a few years ago.

But under the Clear Spirit Eye, Han Li clearly discovered the abnormality.

Although the soul power inside the dragon soul was still as powerful and astonishing as before, the dragon's eyes were scattered and unfocused, actually looking three parts dull. This was clearly a manifestation of the disappearance of spiritual intelligence.

Now the dragon soul had powerful soul power, but its intelligence had regressed to the state of a wild beast that had not yet opened its spiritual intelligence. The escape actions just now were just a kind of instinct from when it was alive.

Han Li sighed lightly.

Thinking of that eighth-level Poison Dragon that had transformed and was so arrogant and powerful back then. But now its essence soul had fallen into his hands for only a few years, and its spiritual intelligence was gradually lost, becoming like a wild beast.

This contrast between before and after was so great that it made people feel some emotion! It made Han Li secretly vigilant about the bumpy and difficult path of cultivation.

If his body were destroyed one day and his primordial spirit fell into the hands of an enemy, his end would definitely be no better than this Poison Dragon.

Sitting in place and thinking silently for a while, Han Li sighed and shook his hand.

A green light wrapped the blood-red small dragon and shot out, shooting directly toward a spot a foot above his head, floating in the air without moving.

No longer paying attention to the Poison Dragon essence soul, Han Li lowered his head and scanned the materials in front of him, suddenly pointing at an unknown spirit beast skin.

Immediately, this emerald-green, rare spirit skin floated up slowly and flew to Han Li's chest.

A flash of essence light appeared in Han Li's eyes. He opened his mouth and spat out a wisp of green infant fire, which hit the spirit skin directly, wrapping it inside, but strangely didn't burn it.

Han Li pinched a Dharma seal with both hands, his ten fingers jumping continuously, and one Dharma seal after another hit the spirit skin.

The infant fire flickered, turning dim and bright.

Just at this moment, Han Li stopped his Dharma seals, stretched out a fair finger with one hand, and pointed at a white jade box in front of him.

With a "whoosh" sound, the box lid flew to the side by itself, revealing a box of silver powder inside that was shining brightly.

With a hook of his finger at the jade box, a small portion of the silver powder immediately turned into a silver thread and rushed directly into the green infant fire.

Immediately, silver sparks appeared in the fire, and under the guidance of Han Li's Dharma seals, they all leaned toward the spirit skin in the middle of the firelight, and the entire spirit skin instantly turned into a large silver light lotus, rotating slowly in the flames.

Han Li's expression became even more solemn, and he pointed at the bottles and jars in front of him one by one. Various materials appeared in the infant fire in a dazzling array.

The color of the flames wrapping the spirit skin changed from silver to black, then from black to green, and when it turned blood-red, Han Li let out a light breath and finally stopped putting materials into the flames, instead chanting incantations in a low voice.

At the same time, as his fingers trembled, several thin green threads sprayed out from his fingertips and shot directly onto the spirit skin.

Immediately, the spirit skin stopped rotating, and under the guidance of the green threads, it began to shake strangely, sometimes slow and sometimes fast.

Amidst the chanting, Han Li continued the above actions with an expressionless face, and gradually, wisps of black energy appeared on the surface of the spirit skin in the flames.

These black energies, upon contacting the blood-red infant fire outside, instantly vanished, and a faint fishy smell appeared in the secret room.

And the volume of the entire spirit skin shrank by one part.

Han Li turned a blind eye to this. This action lasted for a full hour, and when the last wisp of black energy on the spirit skin was refined, he let out a long breath with a relaxed expression.

After adding a few more materials into the flames and refining for a while, Han Li's eyes flickered a few times, and he suddenly blew lightly at the firelight.

With a "puff" sound, the flames immediately went out, and Han Li revealed the entire spirit skin inside, which had turned blood-red. At this moment, it was only the size of a palm.

Seeing the spirit skin turn into this appearance, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Looking up at the dragon soul above his head, he didn't hesitate anymore and pointed at it.

The green light around the dragon soul paused, immediately turning into dots of spiritual light and disappearing without a trace. But the dragon soul seemed to be attracted by something and shot directly toward the blood-red spirit skin.

With a "slither" sound, it sank into the surface of the spirit skin and disappeared.
