Chapter 799: Searching

The door to Han Li's secret room did not open for several months, and Silver Moon kept an eye on the situation outside the cave dwelling at all times to prevent Han Li from missing the opportunity to enter the Fallen Devil Valley.

As the miasma in the mountain range became thinner day by day, the number of cultivators near the Wanling Mountain increased significantly. And most of them gathered in this area facing Yehua City. Because entering the mountain range from this direction was more than halfway closer to the Fallen Devil Valley than from other directions.

Cultivators from various sects who had obtained Fallen Devil Orders arrived here one after another. And many of them, like Han Li, had opened up temporary cave dwellings nearby and stayed there for the time being.

The magic formation Han Li set up outside the cave dwelling was not a top-tier restriction. Many cultivators with profound cultivation had discovered Han Li's cave dwelling. Some even came to visit the owner.

As a result, no matter what kind of sound transmission talisman was thrown into the restriction outside, there was not the slightest response from the cave dwelling.

These cultivators understood that the owner of the cave dwelling did not want to see guests.

Although some cultivators were very unhappy about this. But without knowing who the owner was, they would not rashly break into this place, so as not to form a powerful enemy rashly.

It was clear that the situation of Han Li closing his doors to guests was an exception.

The cultivators who arrived here, no matter how arrogant they were in the past, were all extremely careful under the fierce name of the number one fierce place in Tiannan. And before entering the Fallen Devil Valley, they all began to form gangs, either in groups of three or five, or by making many friends. They formed many groups of different sizes.

Although it was not necessarily true that there was any advantage in searching for treasures with more people, the chance of survival when encountering danger with more people was indeed much stronger than being alone.

Holding this idea, even cultivators who had always been alone in the past began to make many friends during this period.

At this time, seeing that the miasma in the mountains was gradually shrinking, Silver Moon, who was guarding the cave dwelling, was considering whether she should wake Han Li from the secret room. The secret room door finally opened.

Han Li walked out from inside unhurriedly.

After several months of seclusion and refining, Han Li had successively refined more than thirty puppets, with the turtle-shaped and tiger-demon-shaped ones each accounting for half. Fortunately, Han Li had collected a large number of high-tier demon beast essence souls when he was in the Chaotic Star Sea, which made it go so smoothly. Otherwise, even if the materials were complete, these powerful demon souls would be nowhere to be found.

As a result, even the Great Expansion Divine Monarch, who was single-mindedly researching puppet techniques in the "Cave Blessed Heaven," couldn't help but exclaim "Little Monster" in surprise when he saw Han Li take out one high-tier demon soul after another, and then he didn't make a sound.

Although the remaining materials could still be used to refine some, Han Li estimated that there was not enough time. Refining three or four more wouldn't be of much use, so he came out of the secret room.

Silver Moon reported to Han Li some things that had happened near the cave dwelling during the puppet refining period.

Han Li listened carefully, but only nodded indifferently, without saying much.

Afterwards, he went to another secret room to observe the Heaven-Extinguishing Demon Corpse.

This demon corpse was normal in every way. Han Li put it away with satisfaction, put Silver Moon's demon fox body into his sleeve, and then left the cave dwelling.

Han Li did not immediately fly away from this place, but sat cross-legged on the mountain top where the cave dwelling was located. He released his spiritual sense again, slowly scanning the gathering places of various cultivators and temporary cave dwellings of various sizes nearby.

With the power of Han Li's spiritual sense, even Nascent Soul early-stage old monsters would not be able to detect Han Li's spiritual sense detection if they were not careful.

As a result, except for some places with particularly strong auras and some places with restrictions, all the movements within a hundred miles were under Han Li's control.

But a moment later, Han Li opened his eyes, frowned, and shook his head.

He hadn't found the person he was looking for. After thinking for a while, spiritual light rose around his body, and he transformed into a green rainbow, shooting toward a nearby market.

Given the current situation, there should be some gains there.

The market in the Wanling Mountain Range closest to Han Li was opened by a large cultivation family in the Dongyu Kingdom. This family had been in this business for a long time. So even after hearing the news that treasures could be searched in the Fallen Devil Valley, they still ignored it and did their own thing, as if they had never heard of it.

As a result, because the number of high-tier cultivators arriving at the Wanling Mountain Range had increased significantly, business was extremely prosperous. Some ordinary cultivators who had no intention of entering the Fallen Devil Valley also took advantage of the miasma beginning to thin out and had already gained something on the periphery of the mountain range.

Now, in a simple herb shop in the market, a pair of male and female cultivators in white clothes were pointing at a certain spirit herb, talking to the shopkeeper in the shop.

A moment later. Both sides seemed to have reached a deal. The male and female cultivators scraped together a pile of spirit stones and walked out of the herb shop with happy expressions, holding this spirit herb.

"Junior Martial Sister Yuan. Our luck is really good this time. We just arrived at this market not long ago and bought this 'Golden Spirit Seed'. Junior Martial Sister has been looking for this spirit herb for a long time. With this, that furnace of 'Breath-Resting Pills' can be started to be refined." The man was a scholarly-looking young man, currently walking on the only street in the market, saying to his female companion beside him with a smile on his face.

"This is also thanks to Senior Martial Brother Bai for lending me the spirit stones, otherwise I would have missed this opportunity." The white-shirted woman had an ordinary appearance, but a pair of peach-blossom eyes that were watery, which had a bit of fox-like charm.

"Junior Martial Sister's business is my business. What are these few spirit stones worth." The white-shirted young man, although he felt the heartache of the spirit stones just now, made a look of indifference on the surface to please the woman beside him.

The white-shirted woman pursed her red lips and smiled. Just as she was about to say something, someone walked toward the two from the opposite side. With a wave of his hand, a streak of yellow light shot toward the two.

The male cultivator was startled, white light flashed in his hand, and he subconsciously grabbed the yellow light in the air, only to discover that it was a golden token.

"Heavenly Extreme Order? Are you Senior Han?" The young man saw the token clearly, was shocked, and then raised his head to look carefully at the person, couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

The person opposite was in a green robe, with a calm expression, and it was Han Li who had appeared silently in the market.

Han Li had discovered this person with his spiritual sense as soon as he arrived at the market, and he was quite happy in his heart.

With this person, he should be able to contact his master, that Lu Lu Weiying of the Heavenly Extreme Sect.

However, he didn't have a good impression of this person, so he had an indifferent expression toward him.

"I have something to see your master. Daoist Bai, lead the way." Han Li said unceremoniously, his tone full of unquestionable meaning.

"Senior, want to see my master. This..., alright. I will lead the way for Senior." The young man heard Han Li's words and was first startled. But then, after checking the token again, he answered respectfully.

The current Han Li was not the Nascent Soul early-stage cultivator who had just advanced back then. Instead, he had become a terrifying existence second only to the three great cultivators. This Bai Bai Shujun had long regretted his rash actions back then. Now that he saw the token was correct, he naturally agreed immediately. He hoped to use this to improve the impression he had in this Senior Han's heart.

The female cultivator on the side was stunned, sizing Han Li up twice, her eyes flickering. But she didn't say anything.

Immediately, led by Bai Bai Shujun, the three left the market and transformed into three escape lights, flying toward a certain place.

Flying all the way to the east, after flying for a full quarter of an hour, Bai Bai Shujun led Han Li to turn toward the Wanling Mountain Range. After going deep for dozens of miles, they stopped in front of a small mountain.

Han Li's gaze swept over, and he discovered that this place was indeed quite hidden; although the mountain top was small, it was surrounded by several tall mountain ridges. It was not easily discovered by others.

After a faint blue light flashed in his pupils, Han Li stared at a piece of ordinary-looking green stone mountain wall in front of him, revealing a thoughtful look.

At this time, Bai Bai Shujun took out a sound transmission talisman from his bosom and threw it into the air. Immediately, the talisman transformed into a streak of fire and shot toward this stone wall. As a result, after a ripple like water, the fire light instantly drilled into the wall and disappeared without a trace.

And the young man on the side explained to Han Li somewhat diligently:

"This is the temporary residence of my master, usually hidden by the Small Sumeru Restriction. My master has ordered us disciples not to disturb him unless there is something important. Even Junior Martial Sister Lu cannot easily see him during this period. However, since Senior Han has come to find my master, it is naturally not an ordinary matter. My master will definitely not blame this junior."

The female cultivator of the Heavenly Extreme Sect heard the young man mention this, gave a snort, and revealed an unhappy look. But in front of Han Li, she didn't say anything to Bai Bai Shujun. This woman had already guessed Han Li's identity. Although she was a close descendant of Lu Lu Weiying, she didn't dare to be disrespectful in front of Han Li.

"Oh. This Daoist friend is also surnamed Lu. Are you a descendant of Daoist Lu?" Han Li glanced at the woman beside him and asked casually.

"Elder Lu is this junior's great-granduncle. However, this junior has long admired the senior's great name." The woman smiled coquettishly and said to Han Li.

Han Li smiled indifferently and didn't say anything. Because green light flickered on the stone wall in front of him, and suddenly a stone door two zhang high appeared, and a leisurely voice came from inside.

"Hehe! Daoist Han, you have finally found me. If you hadn't appeared, I'm afraid I would have had to go out and find you myself. Daoist, please come in. I am waiting for your arrival in the main hall."

Han Li laughed lightly, strode toward the stone door without hesitation.

The young man and the Lu-surnamed woman hesitated for a moment, and just as they wanted to go over, Lu Lu Weiying's instructions to the two came from inside the stone door.

"You two don't come in. I have a few things to discuss with Daoist Han alone. You go about your own business." This Heavenly Extreme Sect elder didn't stand on ceremony at all, dismissing his disciples and his own descendants.

The two were somewhat startled, but didn't dare to disobey, and answered respectfully. They both flew away.

And after Han Li's figure entered the stone door, green light flickered outside, and the stone door disappeared, revealing a stone wall covered with moss again.

Han Li's traces disappeared completely.
