Chapter 907: Crystallized Monster Inner Core and Flying Needles

"So, is there a problem with these Fire Melting Crystals?" The old man said with a smile, looking like a businessman who values harmony.

"No, these are exactly the crystals," Han Li nodded, saying with an unchanging expression, then collected the crystals, cupped his hands, and took his leave.

The old man watched Han Li's disappearing back and looked at the empty jade box, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Han Li returned to his seat in the auction arena, and with a flash of spiritual light, one Fire Melting Crystal appeared in his hand.

Han Li looked at this crystal with a smile, a trace of pride flashing in his eyes.

"Eight hundred spirit stones for three Fire Melting Crystals, you are truly generous, Fellow Daoist!" The green-robed woman on the side saw Han Li's expression and couldn't help but say.

"Yes, I have wanted to buy these crystals for a long time. Being able to buy this item for eight hundred spirit stones, I didn't make this trip in vain," Han Li glanced at the woman and said unhurriedly, flipping his palm, and the crystal disappeared without a trace.

The green-robed woman only felt a flash of essence in Han Li's eyes, and her heart trembled. The words that were originally on the tip of her tongue turned, and she didn't know how to say them.

The yellow-robed woman on the side saw this scene, her face changed slightly, seemingly feeling something. But after her bright eyes turned, she didn't open her mouth to say anything.

And after having an unexpected gain, Han Li began to look forward to the auction below, but at this time, Grandmaster Elder Dayan finally opened his mouth to ask:

"Little Han. What does the Fire Melting Crystal have to do with the monster inner core? You should explain it to me."

"Actually, you should have guessed it, Senior. One of the Fire Melting Crystals is actually a seventh-level monster inner core, but I don't know how many years it has been left, and it has completely crystallized. It looks no different from ordinary Fire Melting Crystals, and even those with stronger spiritual sense cannot see the difference," Han Li transmitted his voice calmly.

"Seventh-level monster inner core? Since spiritual sense and appearance cannot judge it, how did you see it?" Grandmaster Elder Dayan was indeed not too surprised, but still somewhat disbelieving.

"Hehe! Speaking of which, this has something to do with the baleful qi on me. I once personally killed thousands of high-tier monsters, which formed such a thick baleful qi, so I am most sensitive to monster inner cores. As soon as this seventh-level monster inner core was taken out, the baleful qi on me automatically reacted. Besides, the number of monster inner cores I handled back then was so large that I naturally have some special identification methods," Han Li said leisurely.

"So that is it. If you have really killed so many monsters, the weight of the baleful qi on you can make me understand. But you have killed so many monsters, which makes me interested! It seems you have many stories that you have never disclosed to me!" Grandmaster Elder Dayan laughed, not knowing whether he was happy or angry.

"It is nothing, just some good fortune back then. But Senior, I fear you don't know the benefits of this kind of crystallized monster inner core," Han Li's voice transmitted over, and Grandmaster Elder Dayan was immediately hooked, not asking about the monsters anymore.

"Oh! This is the first time I have heard of crystallized monster inner cores. What is their use?"

"Actually, crystallized monster inner cores can no longer be considered true monster inner cores, and if they are used as medicine to refine pills, they must contain strange toxins. Even if these toxins are not as good as the Ten Great Absolute Poisons, ordinary cultivators would die upon taking them. In fact, this kind of material is the best material for refining flying needle-type magic treasures. It is said that flying needles refined by polishing this kind of material are not only extremely fast in escape, but can injure enemies as soon as they leave the hand, and the most terrifying thing is that the material of these flying needles is special, and they fly as if they don't exist, as if they can be invisible. They are the best sharp weapons for sneak attacks. It is just that this kind of crystallized monster inner core is extremely difficult to form, and there are very few cultivators who have ways to identify them after they are formed. If it weren't for the baleful qi, I fear I wouldn't have been able to identify this treasure immediately," Han Li touched his chin, looking calm, but in his heart, he thought of the jade slip that recorded refining flying needles with crystallized monster inner cores.

He didn't know where he got this jade slip, probably from the unlucky ghost he killed when he was in the Star Fall Continent. At that time, he just treated it as an anecdote. He didn't expect that he would really encounter the real thing. He naturally couldn't easily let go of such rare refining materials.

"I have truly never heard of this thing. It seems the world is vast and full of wonders. I fear there are no cultivators who can walk through every place in the human world. Just as far as I know, there are at least five or six places like our Tiannan cultivation world. Some places can be reached directly, while others must take certain risks to enter. Back then, apart from Great Jin, I only went to two of them, and later, because of my lifespan, I had to return to Tiannan to study the Soul-Sending Technique," Grandmaster Elder Dayan's voice became dim, full of longing.

"Senior, why be so pessimistic? Isn't life and death reincarnation something everyone must face? Even if you ascend to the spirit world, you may not be able to escape this restraint. If you really want to be as long-lived as heaven and earth, I fear only the immortals of the immortal world can do it. But how many people have ascended to the immortal world since ancient times!" Han Li seemed to be touched by something, and after being silent for a while, he said this.

"Hehe! I am still unwilling! I consider myself first-class in the world in terms of cultivation aptitude and intelligence, but in the end, I fell into this kind of puppet body to survive. If I were given another chance, I believe entering the Spirit Transformation stage would definitely not be too difficult for me," Grandmaster Elder Dayan muttered, full of regret, his voice getting lower and lower, and finally there was no sound at all.

Hearing these words, Han Li also felt a trace of desolation in his heart.

The founding master of a generation in the extreme west back then, who once laughed at the Tiannan world with no rivals, must have been even more glorious and arrogant than himself back then. But once he couldn't enter the Spirit Transformation stage, he fell into such a desolate end. This made his mood suddenly heavy.

This thought arose, and Han Li's face became slightly gloomy, and he didn't have the heart to say anything more.

The auction naturally proceeded as usual. The things auctioned below were much more precious than before, but there were no more things that Han Li took a fancy to.

When the last few magic treasures and several types of spiritual pills were auctioned, Han Li didn't want to stay any longer, and under the surprised eyes of the two women beside him, he stood up and left gracefully.

Walking out of the hall, he didn't look at the things at other stalls, left the square, and walked slowly among the pavilions and courtyards, looking absent-minded.

Occasionally meeting other outside cultivators and some disciples of the three families, no one paid attention to him.

However, Han Li's figure gradually moved toward some more remote and less populated places, walking slowly.

After wandering for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, his figure paused and he stopped.

Turning his gaze, he suddenly discovered that in front of a pavilion, a white-robed cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage was standing in the shadows, looking around, seemingly waiting for someone.

Han Li's expression didn't change, but his spiritual sense swept across the surroundings quickly, and there were no traces of other cultivators within dozens of zhang, nor were there any powerful barriers hidden. The nearest cultivators were also over a hundred zhang away and would not notice this place at all.

Han Li changed his direction without hesitation and walked toward this cultivator.

"Do you have something to do, Fellow Daoist?" This was a big man with a face full of flesh. Seeing Han Li walking toward him, he was stunned and asked in a muffled voice.

"Are you a cultivator of the Kong family, Fellow Daoist?" Walking to the front, a smile appeared on Han Li's face, and he said.

"Exactly, I am a deacon of the outer hall of the Kong family! Do you want to..." The big man observed Han Li for a few glances. Seeing Han Li's attire, storage bag, and spiritual beast bag, he didn't look like an ordinary rogue cultivator, so he replied politely.

"I have some matters and want to see your family head. I wonder if you can report it for me, Fellow Daoist?" Han Li asked with a gentle expression.

"See the family head? I fear this is not possible. Our family head has important matters now and will not see outsiders casually. If you have important matters, Fellow Daoist, you might as well tell me first!" The big man frowned and said with difficulty.

"It is like this. I just came out of the auction arena and discovered that something I bought seems to have some problems. I want to talk to your family head about it," Han Li deliberately revealed a trace of hesitation and said so.

"Auction arena? Is the item wrong? If so, you should directly find the few Fellow Daoists responsible for the auction, Fellow Daoist," hearing Han Li's words, the big man's expression condensed.

"This is not something that the auction arena can solve. Why don't you take a look at the item I bought, and you will know," Han Li sighed, and casually reached into his waist with one hand.

Seeing Han Li's action, the big man, with years of experience, subconsciously placed a palm on his waist, making a vigilant expression.

But after Han Li flipped his hand, what he took out was a red flashing crystal, which he handed over.

The big man's suspicion entered, and his muscles relaxed, and he even asked in surprise:

"This is not a Fire Melting Crystal; why do you still want to see the family head with this kind of thing?"

He said while reaching out to take the crystal without understanding.

But at the moment his finger touched the crystal, a wisp of blue light shot out from the crystal in a flash. At such a short distance, the big man couldn't dodge at all. He was shocked and wanted to shout loudly, but his forehead felt cold, followed by his whole body feeling cold, and his entire body was frozen by a layer of blue frost, instantly losing the ability to move.

With a flick of his sleeve, a blue glow flew out, rolling the big man into the glow, and flew directly into the pavilion in front.

Then, with a sway of his body, Han Li followed in silently.
