Chapter 781: Refining Swords in the Secret Room

"No need. (Website) If this person is the one I suspect, his magical powers are unfathomable, a figure comparable to the Mulan Divine Masters. Ordinary cultivators encountering him simply cannot do anything to him. On the contrary, it might provoke his ferocity. More importantly, he holds the method to lift the Soul-Sealing Curse, and I don't want to startle the snake." Han Li shook his head and said slowly.

"Comparable to the Mulan Divine Masters! Could it be a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator? If so, Junior Brother must not go alone. This is too dangerous. It's better to invite Fellow Daoists Long Han and Feng Bing to help." The silver-haired old man said in horror.

"Fellow Daoists Long Han and Feng Bing can deal with this person, but a round trip would take at least three or four months, which is too late. That person only left me two months in the jade slip, clearly having calculated the date of my return. It's just that he didn't expect me to return so quickly. I must think carefully about how to deal with this matter! Most importantly, I must find a way to get the method to lift the Soul-Sealing Curse." Han Li took a deep breath and said calmly.

"Fine. If Junior Brother needs manpower, just say the word. All the disciples in the sect can be dispatched at will." Seeing this, the silver-haired old man could only nod in agreement.

"Many thanks, Senior Brother. According to what Wan'er said in the jade slip, the magical power she cast can theoretically delay the onset of the Soul-Sealing Curse for nearly a hundred years. But the actual effect has never been tested by anyone. I am truly worried!" Han Li looked at the lifelike girl in the ice wall and muttered, a look of concern appearing on his face.

"Junior Brother need not be too worried. I see Nangong sister's face; she doesn't look like someone who would die young. This calamity will surely be overcome. How about this, starting today, I will go and search through some ancient classics to see if I can find a way to break this poisonous curse. Perhaps we won't need to find that black-robed man." The old man thought for a moment and comforted him.

"Many thanks, Senior Brother. If Senior Brother has no objections, I would like to stay here alone for a while. I hope Senior Brother won't mind." Han Li suddenly said with a forced smile.

"This is naturally as it should be. Senior Brother will go to the Scripture Library first. Junior Brother, spend some time with the sister-in-law." The silver-haired old man was stunned at first, but immediately said understandingly.

Then, under Han Li's gaze, the old man exited the secret room and closed the stone door behind him.

The room was left with only Han Li and the girl in the ice wall.

Only then did Han Li turn his head to look at the ice wall, a lonely expression appearing on his face, and he let out a long sigh.

For a whole day and night, Han Li stayed in this secret room without going out.

When the silver-haired old man returned from the Scripture Library and saw Han Li was still inside, he couldn't help but feel somewhat worried. After waiting for another half-day, he was truly uneasy and was just about to break in when Han Li finally walked out with a calm expression.

"Junior Brother Han, are you okay?" The old man couldn't help but ask, his face full of surprise.

Seeing the old man waiting outside the door, Han Li felt a warmth in his heart and said apologetically.

"I'm fine. I was just thinking about a strategy to deal with the enemy inside. Many thanks for Senior Brother's concern. From now until the deadline mentioned by that person, there is still a month and a half, and I plan to go into seclusion to prepare. If there is nothing important, Senior Brother doesn't need to look for me."

"Going into seclusion now! In such a short time, is it useful?" The silver-haired old man was stunned upon hearing this, feeling somewhat strange.

"I obtained some Geng Essence on this trip and plan to re-refine my original magic treasures. This way, when I fight the enemy later, I can add a few points of power. It shouldn't take much time." Han Li replied vaguely.

"So that's how it is. Junior Brother, go ahead and go into seclusion. I will instruct the disciples in the sect not to disturb Junior Brother." The old man suddenly realized and agreed fully.

"Also, since this ice wall has formed, I won't move it rashly, otherwise it might cause some harm to her. But I will set up a few formations around the secret room to ensure Wan'er is safe. I will have to trouble Senior Brother to look after her." Han Li said solemnly.

"Junior Brother, rest assured about this. Nangong Fellow Daoist had the incident in our Falling Cloud Sect, so I, the Great Elder, am already hard to blame. I have already listed this place as a forbidden area. I won't let ordinary disciples come here. The sister-in-law's safety is definitely not a problem." The silver-haired old man said without thinking; it seemed he had already considered this problem.

"If that's the case, then I can rest easy. There is no time to lose, I will set up the formation first and then go into seclusion immediately." Han Li said with a flash of light in his eyes.

Half a day later, Han Li came out from the old man's place and returned to his cave dwelling.

What surprised him somewhat was that Mu Mu Peiling didn't know when she had learned the news of his return and was actually waiting for him outside the cave dwelling.

A flash of surprise appeared on Han Li's face, but he still greeted her into the cave dwelling.

"Is Nangong sister okay! I heard she was injured by someone. But there has been no definite news, and I have been worried until now." As soon as Mu Mu Peiling entered the hall, she asked anxiously before she could even sit down.

"Why. Do you get along well with Wan'er?" Han Li asked calmly after sitting in the main seat.

"We get along very well. Nangong sister has a very good temper, and during the period when Young Master was away, she guided my cultivation many times. I benefited a lot." Mu Mu Peiling said without hesitation.

Han Li remained silent for a while before revealing a bitter smile:

"Hearing you say this, I should be happy. But Wan'er is now hit by the Soul-Sealing Curse and is trapped in a seal, so I really can't be happy. But in just a few months, your cultivation has clearly risen again. It can be seen that you have indeed not slacked off in your cultivation. This makes me very gratified. Next, I will go into seclusion for more than a month to find a way to lift Wan'er's poisonous curse."

"Soul-Sealing Curse? It's actually this kind of demonic poisonous curse, this is troublesome. Young Master, you should have a way, right?" Mu Mu Peiling was shocked and couldn't help but ask.

"What way could there be? I can only start from the person who cast the curse. As long as he falls into my hands, naturally there will be a way to make him obediently spit out the method to lift the curse." Han Li's expression suddenly turned cold and fierce.

Hearing this, Mu Mu Peiling could only furrow her brows.

Just at this moment, Han Li's cheap disciple, Liu Yu, also came to visit. Apart from coming to greet Han Li, her master, she also asked about Nangong Wan's situation.

With her cleverness, she had long deliberately befriended Nangong Wan, her future mistress.

Seeing that this girl had also come, Han Li didn't have any intention of hiding anything. He roughly told the story of the Soul-Sealing Curse again, which moved Liu Yu as well.

However, with her cultivation and knowledge, she was naturally also at a loss.

Han Li didn't have the heart to talk much more with the two girls, and after talking for a while, he started to see them off.

The two girls naturally wouldn't cause any trouble for Han Li at such a time, and they honestly walked out of the cave dwelling.

However, just as they were outside the cave dwelling, Liu Yu's autumn eyes flowed, and she suddenly said to Mu Mu Peiling with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Mu. Although you are the Young Master's concubine, you seem to still be a virgin. No wonder the Young Master treats you like a guest. With your appearance, is it that the Young Master is not moved? Or is there some other mystery? The newly arrived Nangong mistress, in terms of appearance, might be even above you. You better take care of yourself."

"What do you mean by this..." Mu Mu Peiling was stunned, her face somewhat flushed as she wanted to distinguish something, but the person in front of her gave a light laugh, and the person turned into a ray of light and flew away.

Mu Mu Peiling stood blankly in place for a good while before stomping her foot and flying away on her magic tool.

Seeing the two girls leave, Han Li had time to check the medicine garden and the insect room.

Everything was normal.

Han Li immediately took some refining materials and entered the secret room.

He wanted to use his Nascent Soul fire to melt the Geng Essence into the thirty-six flying swords.

Speaking of which, his Geng Essence, apart from those he added from Master Brother Zhiyang and others, plus those he knocked out of the Mulan people, before returning from Tiancheng, Long Han actually helped him find another small piece with the help of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. In this way, it was more than enough to mix into the thirty flying swords.

Adding materials into already refined magic treasures was not a complicated thing to do. But to do these things in just over a month was somewhat hasty.

Han Li could only go all out to do it. Only by cultivating a small half-set of the Great Geng Sword Array could he possibly have a battle with a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

And that black-robed man who cast the Soul-Sealing Curse on Nangong Wan should most likely be that Yin Luo Sect Master.

He must get the method to lift the curse from the other side's mouth; this small half-set of the Great Geng Sword Array was the trump card to deal with him.

Thinking of this, Han Li reached out and took off a storage pouch at his waist, offering it into the air. Then, after the pouch mouth flashed with rosy light, several pieces of Geng Essence of different sizes appeared on the ground at his feet.

Then he took out the auxiliary materials from another storage pouch and placed them at his feet as well.

Han Li sat cross-legged and immediately pointed at the smallest piece of Geng Essence.

This pale golden raw stone immediately floated up and slowly flew toward Han Li.

Han Li watched without blinking, and when it flew to three feet in front of him and floated motionless, he pinched a seal with both hands and spat out a ball of green, dazzling Nascent Soul fire from his mouth.

With a soft "bang", the green Nascent Soul fire hit the Geng Essence raw stone, instantly wrapping it inside.

Han Li's incantation sounded slowly, and the green Nascent Soul fire became even more vigorous. The fire light rose for a while, and the raw stone floating inside began to melt gradually.

Han Li's expression began to turn solemn, staring at this object without blinking.

After a full hour, most of the impurities turned into milky white liquid and dripped onto the ground.

The Geng Essence raw stone had turned into a semi-transparent existence, and its volume was a good half smaller than before.

Seeing this, Han Li flicked his sleeve and casually rolled up a jade box on the ground.

The box lid opened by itself in an instant, revealing the silver-bright powder inside.

This powder immediately turned into a silver snake and shot into the transparent liquid in the air.

Green light shone brightly, the semi-transparent liquid shot out silver light, and then Han Li cast several magic seals, which disappeared into it without a trace.
