Chapter 917: Collecting Treasure
"Perhaps!" Han Li had no objection to this. WWW. feiazw. CoM Net Fire-attribute treasures, regardless of their type, nine out of ten are focused on attack. After all, fire spiritual energy was originally one of the top few in destructive power among several attributes.
Having spoken to this point with Master Elder Dayan, Han Li said no more. He gave his sleeves a light flick toward the air, and the two round beads in his hand shot out. Immediately following this, he cast two magic arts, which struck the two beads.
Golden and white light flashed, and the two round beads immediately suspended in the air, motionless.
Han Li's gaze flickered, and he slapped his storage pouch, and immediately seven or eight bottles, jade boxes, and a small silver cauldron flew out one after another, landing steadily on the ground in front of him. And that small cauldron even stayed in the low air in front of him.
He pinched a magic art with both hands and pointed at the small cauldron. The cauldron trembled, and the lid flew up on its own, circling once before floating in mid-air.
At the same time, one of the jade boxes on the ground opened its lid on its own, revealing a box of green, glowing powder.
Han Li opened his mouth, and a mass of cyan, misty spiritual energy sprayed out of his mouth, hitting this jade box.
Spiritual light flashed, and a small portion of the spiritual powder in the jade box was wrapped in cyan light, rising into the air, circling once before being thrown into the small cauldron.
With a low shout, another wisp of cyan flame was spat out from his mouth. This flame was extremely thin, but the moment it hit the small cauldron, it burned fiercely, actually wrapping the entire lower half of the cauldron within it. And after this fire was spat out, Han Li's face immediately turned pale, looking listless and dispirited.
Han Li couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Unexpectedly, after his magic power was sealed, forcibly extracting a wisp of infant fire from within his Nascent Soul was actually so difficult. Of course, this also had a lot to do with his greatly damaged vitality, which had not yet fully recovered.
At this time, he raised his hand and grabbed at another slender jade bottle in the void.
This bottle floated up, slowly flying to the top of the small cauldron, the bottle cap lifted on its own, and the bottle turned over.
A wisp of emerald-green spiritual liquid, the thickness of a finger, poured down, falling into the cauldron, and mixed with the cyan powder inside in an instant.
Then, a low incantation sound came out, and the cyan flame on the small cauldron, under the urging of the magic art, immediately rose, wrapping the entire small cauldron within it.
Only a moment later, a trace of medicinal fragrance came from the cauldron.
Han Li's eyebrows moved, and with a wave of his sleeves, another jade box flew into mid-air, and a whole fire-red spiritual herb in the box was poured directly into the cauldron.
Just like this, under Han Li's careful control, every once in a while, some spiritual herbs and spiritual liquids were added...
After a day and a night, the things in the cauldron were finally refined.
Han Li flicked his sleeves, and the infant fire on the cauldron disappeared without a trace. And the small silver cauldron landed lightly in Han Li's hand.
Holding the small cauldron up with one hand, he looked down at it, only to see that what appeared in the cauldron was a kind of thick spiritual liquid several inches deep. Emerald green and crystal clear, with a strange fragrance!
"This is the right spiritual liquid, right!" After looking for a while, Han Li felt there was no problem, and it was exactly the same as what was said in the jade slip, but he still asked cautiously.
"It is precisely this spiritual liquid. Unexpectedly, your pill refining technique has reached such a profound realm. I thought that to refine this spiritual liquid, at least two cauldrons would be ruined! Just in terms of pill refining technique, your attainments are a few points higher than this old man's back then. You can now directly soak the Heavenly Corpse Pearl in the spiritual liquid for seven days and seven nights, then you can remove the corpse poison in the corpse bead, and then you can safely take it." The Elder Dayan Divine Lord said lazily.
Han Li smiled when he heard this, but didn't say much more, and pointed at the golden bead that was still floating in mid-air under the suspension technique.
This bead instantly turned into a golden light, directly 'shooting' into the small cauldron, and then the cauldron lid followed closely, sealing the cauldron again.
Han Li then left this cauldron in a corner of the secret room and didn't ask about it anymore. Instead, he turned his mind to the Snow Crystal Bead.
The refining of this bead didn't need much trouble.
He flipped his palm, and after a few low, inaudible incantations, a small mass of purple flame appeared out of thin air in his palm. With a flick of his hand, this purple fire shot out and hit the Snow Crystal Bead.
Immediately, white spiritual light and purple light flashed incessantly on the surface of the crystal bead, and as the spiritual light shone brightly, it looked like it was merging with the Purple Luo Heavenly Fire.
Seeing this, a look of joy flashed in Han Li's eyes. Subsequently, a mass of cyan rosy light sprayed out from his mouth, wrapping the crystal bead in mid-air within it.
The crystal bead shrank and deformed rapidly in the rosy light, turning into the size of a pill in the blink of an eye, and then was swallowed into his abdomen by the returning rosy light.
Han Li closed his eyes with a solemn expression, his two hands formed an entry-into-meditation hand seal, and he sat motionless, introspecting the situation in his body.
Only to see the Snow Crystal Bead at the dantian at this moment, being lightly supported by a purple flame-transformed lotus flower an inch in size, spinning incessantly. And beneath this bead, his own Nascent Soul was sitting honestly, also forming a hand seal with both hands, echoing the purple flame crystal bead, appearing mysterious and extraordinary.
Seeing this, Han Li felt relieved in his heart.
With his current Foundation Establishment cultivation, it was naturally impossible to directly refine the treasure bead, but fortunately, his Purple Luo Heavenly Fire was truly overbearing, so he could first take this bead into his body and use this fire to cultivate it first. When he could refine it in the future, it would be twice the result with half the effort. And under the control of the Purple Luo Heavenly Fire, when necessary, he could even use this fire to manipulate the treasure bead and forcibly drive it to deal with enemies.
After finishing the business with the two beads, Han Li did not immediately proceed to the next task. Instead, he sat quietly in the secret chamber for another half day, allowing his mind and magic power to recover slightly, before he unhooked a certain spirit beast pouch from his waist and offered it up into the air.
White rosy light rolled out, and a golden, brilliant thing appeared in the air; it was precisely the Vajra Cover that had not yet been fully refined. And in this semi-finished gold bubble, the Soul-Devouring Beast was lying within it, sleeping soundly and comfortably.
Seeing this, Han Li's mouth twitched, looking somewhat dumbfounded.
This Soul-Devouring Beast was truly a bit too fond of sleeping. When he summoned it out, nine times out of ten it was in a deep sleep.
With a bitter smile, Han Li helplessly reached out and flicked his finger at the Vajra Cover, and a small cyan light bullet flew out, hitting the surface of the gold bubble exactly.
The faint golden light rippled slightly, bouncing the light bullet away without a sound, but the Soul-Devouring Beast inside received this vibration and also opened its eyes hazily, waking up.
Seeing that it was outside the spirit beast pouch, it let out a series of chirps, and in a flash, turned into a black light, shooting out from the gold bubble, circling once in the air before landing obediently on Han Li's shoulder, and then rubbing its furry head against Han Li's neck incessantly.
After these years of getting along, this beast had long since regarded Han Li as its kin, and was very affectionate toward Han Li.
Han Li smiled slightly, tilted his head and reached out to stroke the beast's head, then turned his gaze to the Vajra Cover still staying in the air.
He flicked his sleeves, and a mass of cyan, misty rosy light rolled out, immediately wrapping the gold bubble within it, rosy light shining in all directions, circling and spinning around the treasure incessantly. But the gold bubble didn't have the slightest reaction, just like a dead object.
Han Li was stunned for a moment, pondered slightly, and then pinched magic arts rapidly with both hands, while at the same time chanting another kind of incantation for collecting treasures.
Dao after dao of cyan magic arts hit the Vajra Cover, but apart from making the treasure's spiritual light flicker a few times, there was still no significant change.
At this, Han Li's expression turned ugly.
However, with his knowledge and divine abilities, the magic arts and means for collecting treasures naturally couldn't be just these two.
After taking a deep breath, Han Li unremittingly changed the hand seals he was forming, and the incantation sound in his mouth also chanted incessantly, sometimes high and sometimes low. Colorful magic arts shot out one after another as his ten fingers flicked.
As time passed, there was still no effect on the Vajra Cover, and Han Li's expression finally turned ugly.
After spitting out the last treasure-collecting magic art he knew in a vague manner, the incantation sound stopped abruptly.
"Elder Dayan Senior, what exactly is going on? Although my cultivation is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, it shouldn't be to the point where I can't even collect this treasure! Is there something else strange about this treasure transformed from the Vajra Sarira?" Han Li asked with wrinkled eyebrows.
"The practice of refining the Vajra Sarira into a protective treasure using corpse fire is originally a very rare method of refining magic treasures. After all, Sarira and corpse fire are originally things that should be mutually restraining and difficult to dissolve. It is expected that ordinary treasure-collecting methods don't work. However, I will give you a set of incantations for collecting Sarira, you see if it works." The Elder Dayan Divine Lord said unhurriedly.
"Alright! I'll give it a try." Han Li agreed without a second thought.
After half a day, Han Li used the newly obtained magic art and finally managed to shrink this treasure and collect it into his hand, which made Han Li breathe a sigh of relief.
However, when Han Li wanted to complete the final refinement of this Vajra Cover according to the incantation given by the Elder Dayan Divine Lord, he encountered even greater trouble.
No matter how he tempered it with infant fire, it had no effect. And this time, even the Elder Dayan Divine Lord was helpless.
According to what the Elder Dayan Divine Lord speculated, it seemed that to complete the final refinement of the Vajra Cover, it must be refined with ten-thousand-year-old corpse flames.
Hearing this, Han Li rolled his eyes, and said depressedly:
"Hmph! Ten-thousand-year-old corpse flames, where do you want me to find them again, don't tell me you want me to go to Xueling Mountain and tie that Brother Xuan Ye King back here again."
The Elder Dayan Divine Lord heard this and could only hum helplessly, falling into silence for a while.
Just when Han Li was at his wit's end and had no choice but to use the Vajra Cover as it was, the little monkey sitting on Han Li's shoulder, feeling somewhat bored, suddenly opened its mouth and sprayed out a gray-white flame, wrapping the Vajra Cover floating in mid-air within it.
The originally silent Vajra Cover immediately emitted a low humming sound, and the gold bubble deformed sharply in the gray flames, expanding and contracting.
Seeing this scene, Han Li was greatly shocked.
"Ten-thousand-year-old corpse flames!" The Elder Dayan Divine Lord was even more stunned, muttering to himself.
