Chapter 954: Meeting the Ancient Demon Again

"That's true. The Ye Clan, a mere cultivation family, can refine a heaven-defying spiritual treasure imitation; it's very likely that other major sects, with their long history, also possess one," Han Li thought for a moment and could only helplessly admit this point. Net

"You don't need to be too frustrated. Even if they are imitations, the materials used to refine them are not ordinary things. I estimate that most of them have already gone extinct in this world. The ones that exist now are all accumulated over who knows how many years before they occasionally gather the materials for one. Moreover, don't you still have the authentic Void Heaven Cauldron in your hands? If you can truly master this treasure, I estimate that no one in this world will be able to do anything to you," the Elder Dayan Spirit Lord actually said with a jealous tone.

"Truly master the Void Heaven Cauldron! That's not easy at all. Without the cultivation of the Spirit Transformation stage, I can only think about it. However, if I really had the divine abilities of the Spirit Transformation stage, I could roam the mortal world even without the Void Heaven Cauldron," Han Li said with a bitter smile.

The Elder Dayan Spirit Lord laughed upon hearing this and said nothing more.

At this moment, apart from the figure in the white light who was still introducing the Flat Mountain Seal, the rest of the hall was silent, and everyone became silent, the atmosphere suddenly becoming oppressive.

The figure in the white light hosting the exchange naturally knew that the momentum had been built up enough. After a light cough, he finally began to talk about the bidding method for this item.

"It seems there's no need for me to say much more; you fellow daoists already know the value of this treasure. To auction this item, the Ye Clan has already prepared a list of materials. Whoever can provide the most materials on the list can obtain this treasure. Of course, if the value of this highest material is obviously too low, it will naturally be invalid. Finally, there will be another auction using spirit stones, with a starting price of three million."

Hearing the sky-high price of three million, even the cultivators in the hall who had seen the world were in a commotion, but no one raised any objection. Even though this amount was already comparable to more than half of the spirit stone reserves of a medium-sized cultivation sect. But compared to the value of this treasure, it was indeed not too high. In an actual auction, it wouldn't be strange if this price doubled several times.

Hearing this price, Han Li felt a chill in his heart and suddenly had a strange thought. If his Demon Marrow Diamond were taken out for auction, he wondered how many spirit stones it could sell for. I'm afraid it wouldn't be too little either.

However, the two really couldn't be compared. He had checked the information and knew something about the so-called demonic path treasure, the Demon Dragon Blade. It seemed that it had only been refined by someone in the ancient period, and it was said that the demonic cultivator holding this treasure had once beheaded a Spirit Transformation cultivator. Judging from its power, it seemed to be no less than that "heaven-defying spiritual treasure." It's just that the Demon Dragon Blade is a genuine magic treasure and still has great potential to be tapped.

But one or two pieces of Demon Marrow Diamond naturally couldn't refine this blade. Just treating the Demon Marrow Diamond as a spiritual pill to absorb the essence demonic Qi inside, the value would drop significantly.

Han Li was pondering these messy things when the old man with the crow-like crown had already taken out a jade slip and began to read the list of materials recorded in the jade slip one by one.

The old man's voice was not loud, but every cultivator in the hall heard it clearly.

All the cultivators listened intently, while Han Li was somewhat absent-minded and had no intention of participating in the competition for this treasure at all.

This didn't mean he wasn't moved by this treasure, but he had self-knowledge.

As an outsider, no matter how wealthy he was, he couldn't possibly compete with the local sects of Great Jin. Such a heavy treasure that could affect the balance of power among major sects was no longer something that individuals or small forces could possess.

Otherwise, with the Ye Clan's status as the number one family in the world, would they be willing to auction the Flat Mountain Seal?

I estimate that they were under heavy pressure from other major forces and had no choice but to take it out to avoid disaster by spending money.

After listening to a few materials casually, Han Li was even more certain of this idea.

What the old man read were not things that were hard to find in the world like Five-Element Jade or Geng Gold, but all materials that were precious but were essential and stored by major sects. It seemed that the Ye Clan was unwilling and had the idea of letting the major sects bleed heavily.

Thinking this way, Han Li pondered for a moment, stood up suddenly, and walked toward the outside of the hall.

Such an action naturally appeared exceptionally eye-catching at this time. Many cultivators who were still paying close attention to Han Li taking out two pieces of Demon Marrow Diamond couldn't help but glance over, all feeling shocked and suspicious.

Han Li ignored all of this, walked calmly to the entrance, and just as he was about to step into the restriction flickering with faint white light, a cold voice suddenly came to his ears:

"Fellow Daoist Han, why are you leaving so soon?"

This familiar voice was none other than the old man surnamed Fu.

Han Li paused slightly, moved his lips, and transmitted his voice back:

"I have already become a target, so I'd better leave a step early to avoid causing more trouble. I haven't forgotten Brother Fu's matter. If this matter is not urgent, let's discuss it in detail after I finish refining a treasure in a few years, how about that?"

"My matter is not very urgent. However, you hid it well from me, Brother Han. You actually possessed such a treasure as Demon Marrow Diamond and didn't leak a hint of it. No wonder the Yin Luo Sect was chasing you so tightly. How about this? Can you meet me at the Chao Yun Prefecture in Southern Border County in four years? I will also arrange to meet with several other fellow daoists at the Twin Scorpion Mountain. I can guarantee that although this matter requires your help, Fellow Daoist, it will definitely be of great benefit to you, Brother Han." The old man surnamed Fu said without hesitation.

"Four years? That's enough time. I will keep the appointment. I'll take my leave first." After Han Li finished transmitting these few words, he didn't linger in the hall and walked straight into the restriction in front of him.

White light flickered, and Han Li's figure vanished without a trace.

A cup of tea later, Han Li transformed into a green streak of light and flew out from the entrance of the underground exchange. After circling in the sky above the mountain gully, he didn't stop at all and shot toward the east.

Just after Han Li left, several cultivators at the exchange also quietly left their seats and left in a hurry.

More cultivators with other ideas were really reluctant to give up the Flat Mountain Seal being auctioned, and after weighing the pros and cons, most of them stayed behind.

After all, the Five-Element Jade and other treasures on Han Li were rare, but now that someone had their eyes on them, it wasn't worth conflicting with other cultivators to join in the fun.

After flying a thousand li in one breath, when the escape light swept past a mountain peak, a sound like a dragon's roar suddenly came from Han Li's body.

Han Li's expression changed drastically, and his escape light stopped abruptly.

He took a deep breath, swept his gaze around like a knife, and flicked his sleeves. Dozens of golden flying swords swarmed out, flying and hovering above his head, their momentum astonishing.

"Your tracks have been exposed, why be so sneaky? Come out," Han Li's eyes flashed with blue light, and he stared at a place that was empty on one side, saying coldly.

"Hehe! As expected of the cultivator who destroyed my main soul, you are indeed exceptionally sharp."

Where Han Li was looking, black light suddenly flashed, and a youth with a face similar to Han Li's appeared there. He was also in a green robe, with an ordinary face, but his pupils were flashing with black and purple strange light.

Han Li saw this scene, and although he had expected it, his heart still sank.

"It's really you! How did you find me?" Han Li said solemnly.

"It seems you know who I am. Your flying swords are indeed full of spirituality, actually being able to warn you actively. As for being able to find you so quickly, I didn't expect it either; it seems my luck is not bad." The ancient demon's split soul looked at Han Li for a while before saying leisurely.

"My flying swords are in your hands? If I didn't know who you were, I would be too stupid," Han Li said expressionlessly.

"Not bad, your flying swords are here with me." The ancient demon's split soul said noncommittally, and raised his head, only to see two small golden swords trembling in his palm, desperately trying to fly toward Han Li, but they were tightly bound by layers of black silk and couldn't leave the ancient demon's palm at all.

Han Li's expression darkened.

"Your flying swords are actually refined from the evil-breaking Gold Thunder Bamboo, and the other flying swords seem to be the same. Having so many Gold Thunder Bamboo is truly unbelievable. It seems that back in the Fallen Demon Valley, the main soul failing to take you down and instead losing its life was not without reason. The main soul died because of you, which might have saved me from being swallowed again, but because of its destruction, it also made me unable to return to my peak cultivation in the Demon World forever. Tell me, should I thank you, or should I destroy you?" The ancient demon's split soul revealed a look of half-smile, actually saying this.

"You appeared here in hiding; don't tell me you just came to chat with me," Han Li was silent for a while before suddenly sneering.

"Whether I came to chat with you depends on your attitude. As long as you are willing to tell me how you obtained so much Gold Thunder Bamboo, it's not impossible to spare your life. Otherwise, I will only have to extract your primordial spirit myself and search your soul." The ancient demon's split soul lowered his head slightly, looked at the two golden swords in his hand, and said indifferently.

Han Li heard this, his expression unchanged, but the corners of his mouth twitched, and then he exhaled lightly.

"Wanting to kill me and being able to kill me are two different things. I have no interest in chatting with you, nor do I have any interest in revealing any secrets. I just want to see what your divine abilities are compared to the main soul. If I remember correctly, you were severely injured in Heaven South last time. I don't believe you have fully recovered in such a short time," Han Li narrowed his eyes and said sternly.

Involving the secret of the small bottle, he would not consider the other party's proposal.

"I originally wanted to let you say a few more words before you die, but since you are unwilling to cooperate, there is no need for that." The ancient demon's heart was filled with murderous intent, his face revealing a fierce expression, and he said clangingly, while the black and purple light in his eyes surged.

Han Li felt a chill in his heart, and with a thought, the flying swords above his head instantly transformed into a golden screen, blocking in front of him, while his other hand flipped, and the spirit beast bag containing the Gold-Devouring Beetles arrived in his hand.
