Chapter 858: Feeding the Pill

Hearing Lu Luo's words, Senior Brother Cheng was also taken aback and hurriedly used his spiritual sense to scan him.

As a result, he discovered that Han Li's aura was restrained and his spiritual light was contained, clearly showing that he had truly advanced to the mid-stage of Nascent Soul. He couldn't help but be stunned there.

"I knew that Senior Brothers had sharp eyes and would soon see it. Junior Brother did have an opportunity in the Fallen Demon Valley, and after some hard cultivation, I advanced. I didn't expect to advance so quickly to the mid-stage of Nascent Soul myself. However, if I didn't know that the two Senior Brothers were taking care of Wan'er, and that she wouldn't have any major problems, I would have been anxious for all these years of being trapped. I wouldn't have had the heart to calm down and cultivate. This is all thanks to the two Senior Brothers." Han Li sighed, clasped his fists at the two, and expressed his gratitude.

"Junior Brother, what are you saying! Since Nangong sister recognized me as her big brother, isn't it a matter of course to take care of her? Actually, the so-called taking care of her, I, this Senior Brother, didn't help with anything useful, and could only let the sister-in-law be trapped in the ice. I am truly ashamed!" Senior Brother Cheng finally recovered from the shock of Han Li's advancement, and upon hearing Han Li's words, hurriedly said modestly.

"Junior Brother advancing to the mid-stage of Nascent Soul with less than three hundred years of lifespan, I am afraid it will shock the entire Tiannan cultivation world. It seems that the late-stage of Nascent Soul goes without saying, and even advancing to the Spirit Transformation stage is very possible for Junior Brother!" Lu Luo also couldn't help but say, his words full of envy.

With Han Li's terrifying advancement speed, in the history of Tiannan's cultivation world, I am afraid only a few people can compare. Such a cultivation speed has nothing to do with personal cultivation aptitude. Most of it depends on personal opportunity and creation, which cannot be forced.

Han Li naturally responded modestly, then deliberately changed the subject and asked about the situation in the Fallen Demon Valley after he went missing. The news obtained from the mouths of those who witnessed the battle personally was naturally far more real than the hearsay of others.

When the old man heard Han Li's question, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It turned out that after Han Li was swallowed by the space rift that day, the other Ancient Demon was furious. Just as the old man felt his life was at stake, other cultivators happened to arrive.

Even though the cultivators who arrived there first joined forces with Wei Wei Wuyan and the others, they still couldn't do anything to the other Ancient Demon that had also transformed into a two-headed, four-armed form, and instead, they were in danger before long. At the critical moment, the group of Mulan people finally arrived.

As a result, the two sides joined forces and finally trapped the demon. After a fierce battle, with the assistance of the Mulan Sacred Bird summoned by that Le-surnamed woman, they finally heavily injured the demon, and even the Zhong Divine Master of the Mulan people cut off one of its heads. Finally, however, the Ancient Demon escaped.

In this battle, several Nascent Soul cultivators also died, and even Nangong Wan's Senior Sister was directly hit by that group of demonic flames in the final struggle, and even her Nascent Soul turned into ashes. Ancestor Linghu Ancestor's situation was slightly better, but his body was destroyed, and only his Nascent Soul escaped luckily.

The most unlucky one was the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators; that Elder Zhong was directly dug out of his Nascent Soul by the Ancient Demon and devoured.

All the high-tier cultivators of the Ghost Spirit Sect who entered the valley were wiped out, which was truly astonishing.

As for the remaining events, they were similar to what Huang Yuanming had told him. Originally, some seniors had expressed that this kind of demon could not exist in our mortal world for long, so these people didn't take the risk to pursue it after leaving the valley. But unexpectedly, this demon didn't know what method it used, and didn't have any intention of returning to the alien world at all. Instead, it went on a killing spree in Tiannan, devouring cultivators' Nascent Souls everywhere, which finally aroused public anger and led to a siege. This was the result of the siege.

Hearing this, Han Li frowned and asked:

"Regarding the battle to suppress the demon. I have heard some rumors from the outside world. There are all kinds of things, but the two Great Cultivators and one Mulan Divine Master took action together, and it seems they didn't kill this demon on the spot? With the identities of the two Senior Brothers, you should know the true result!?" When saying this, Han Li's expression couldn't help but become solemn. The ferocity of that Ancient Demon made him feel a burst of lingering fear even now.

"The two of us didn't participate in the battle to suppress this demon. But according to the news from the Alliance, that Ancient Demon was indeed heavily injured fatally. But it still escaped the encirclement by using some strange ancient secret technique. However, Brother Zhiyang Shangren and others kept chasing it, wanting to eliminate the evil completely. As a result, they chased it all the way to the edge of the Mulan Grassland. Because they were wary of the cultivators of the Tulu people, they had to give up the pursuit. However, so many years have passed. This demon has not appeared in Tiannan again, and the situation on the Tulu side is also calm. It seems that this demon either really died of heavy injuries, or crossed the Mulan Grassland to Dajin." The old man explained to Han Li in detail.

"Go to Dajin?" Hearing this, Han Li's face changed slightly, but then returned to normal.

Senior Brother Cheng and Lu Luo naturally saw that Han Li had some words he didn't want to say. But the two were sensible and didn't pursue the question.

After all, Han Li's divine abilities and realm were far from what the two could compare to, and now they couldn't help but feel a trace of awe toward Han Li.

Han Li chatted with the two for a while about other things, and finally said that he had found good medicine in the Fallen Demon Valley and wanted to try to lift the poison curse for Nangong Wan first.

The two were overjoyed, and Nangong Wan would be even more powerful if she could recover. They hurriedly didn't have the heart to chat anymore, and accompanied Han Li to the forbidden area personally.

At the entrance of the forbidden area, Senior Brother Cheng and the two consciously stopped, saying they would personally guard this place, and let Han Li go and lift the evil curse with peace of mind.

Han Li didn't stand on ceremony, thanked them, and walked in alone.

Not long after, his figure appeared in front of the stone door of the secret room.

Looking at the restrictions outside the stone door, they didn't seem to have been touched since he left last time. It seems that Senior Brother Cheng and the two only used their spiritual sense to probe Nangong Wan's situation and didn't break the restrictions to enter again. This made Han Li even more satisfied with the actions of these two.

Pinching the magic formula in his hand, several magic formulas were cast, and after the stone door flashed with spiritual light, it opened with a muffled sound.

Han Li's expression flickered, and he walked in silently.

The stone door fell again.

The situation in the secret room was the same as before, because the moonstone was embedded in the roof, it didn't feel dark at all. And because of the existence of the restrictions, the room was always clean as new, without a speck of dust.

And the ice wall flickered with faint spiritual light, Nangong Wan was still sealed inside in the form of a young girl, her eyes closed, her face slightly pale.

A trace of pity flashed across Han Li's face, and he walked to a distance of about a zhang from the ice wall and stopped.

Gazing at Nangong Wan's pale face, Han Li's eyes were full of complex expressions at this moment!

Standing in place and gazing at Nangong Wan in the ice seal, I don't know how long it had been, he let out a long breath, patted his storage bag at his waist, and a jade box appeared in his hand out of thin air.

Holding the jade box in one hand, he flicked the box lid with his other hand.

The box lid popped open, revealing a thumb-sized crimson round ball, exactly that Fire Toad Beast Demon Pill.

This demon pill flickered with red light in the pure white jade box, looking mysterious and gorgeous.

Han Li narrowed his eyes and sized up this demon pill for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth, and a ball of cyan spiritual energy rolled up the demon pill, then held the pill and floated toward the ice wall.

A low incantation sounded, and a magic formula was cast on the ice wall.

The ice wall flashed with blue light, and the demon pill merged into the thick ice wall as if it were nothing, flying to Nangong Wan's lips.

Han Li pointed at Nangong Wan calmly, and Nangong Wan's lips opened slightly like a puppet. The demon pill took this opportunity and flew into her mouth instantly.

Instantly, Nangong Wan's pale, bloodless face was covered with a layer of faint red light, but her long-lashed eyes remained closed, without a trace of waking up.

Han Li sighed, knowing that this matter could not be rushed, even if the demon pill was effective, it wouldn't lift the Soul-Sealing Curse in ten days or half a month.

But Han Li didn't leave immediately, just stood quietly in front of the ice wall, gazing at Nangong Wan without saying a word. For some reason, the stunning scene of when he first met Nangong Wan appeared in his mind.

Time passed slowly. Han Li's figure standing in front of the ice wall didn't move at all...

Half a day later, Han Li walked out of the secret room door calmly. He opened the restrictions again and returned along the original path.

Senior Brother Cheng and Lu Luo were still guarding outside the forbidden area, and naturally asked a few concerned questions when they saw Han Li come out.

Han Li smiled reluctantly, only saying that he needed to observe for a few more days to know if the Soul-Sealing Curse could really be lifted.

Because he had been rushing on the road for days, Han Li was somewhat tired, so he didn't continue to chat with the two. After parting with the two, he returned to his cave dwelling first.

Anyway, there was plenty of time, and there would be time to chat in detail in the future.

Han Li turned into a cyan rainbow and headed straight for the Mother-Child Peak.

In the previous conversation, he already knew. Although he had been missing for more than twenty years, his cave dwelling had been kept as it was under the strict orders of the old man and Lu Luo.

And as his concubine, Mu Mu Peiling had been living in the Child Peak, and the two elders had been taking care of her. Now this woman was already at the False Core stage, and it would only take a year or so before she could attempt to form a core.

This was an unexpected joy. Han Li thought of the Phoenix-Pei Yuan Technique.

You know, he still had quite a few spiritual pills that could increase the success rate of core formation. And this woman's aptitude could be considered top-tier. As long as he really used his full strength to help this woman form a core, she would have at least a seventy percent chance of successfully forming a core.

But he didn't expect that he would have another opportunity in the Fallen Demon Valley, and he had broken through this bottleneck before her.

This was not the same as the original plan.

However, it didn't matter. The dual cultivation technique of the Phoenix-Pei Yuan Technique was also useful for breaking through the late-stage of Nascent Soul. Of course, the heat of cultivating this technique had to be deeper. This woman also needed to be at the late-stage of Core Formation to be useful.

It was just that the original idea of letting this woman cultivate this technique for decades, and then picking her virgin body, and then letting her go, had to be changed.

After all, under normal circumstances, he might not be able to cultivate to the peak of the mid-stage of Nascent Soul for two or three hundred years. For such a long time, letting this woman cultivate the Phoenix-Pei Yuan Technique, a technique that wasn't top-tier, would really require some cultivation. Without pills to assist, it would be very difficult for this woman to cultivate to the late-stage of Core Formation in a short time.

Han Li thought, and a moment later flew to the front of the Mother-Child Peak.

Looking at the cloud sea restrictions in front of the peak, Han Li smiled slightly.

He flicked his sleeves, and the thick fog sea split a path on its own.

He flew toward the main peak unhurriedly.
