A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

Chapter 762

Spirit Talisman and Flood Dragon Soul

When Wei Wuya suddenly talked about Han Li in the hall, Han Li had already arrived at the main entrance of the hall.

To his surprise, he saw Dong Xuan’er outside the hall.

At some point in time, the woman had emerged from the side hall and was standing there with her head lowered as if she were deep in thought.

Because the cultivators guarding the door knew that this woman had come with Old Devil Cloud Dew, they naturally turned a blind eye and allowed her to stand outside the hall.

When Han Li came out, Dong Xuan’er seemed to have sensed something and looked up.

However, when she saw that it was Han Li, her face revealed a strange expression, as if she did not know what to do, but she also seemed to be slightly jealous.

This made Han Li a little confused.josei

Han Li was a little surprised, but he had nothing to say to this woman. He immediately walked past her as if he did not see her and slowly moved towards the street in the distance.

Dong Xuan’er stood rooted to the ground and bit her red lips. She stared at Han Li’s back and did not say a word.

After making a turn, Han Li felt the gaze behind him disappear. He unconsciously frowned and shook his head.

“Master, do you know that female cultivator?” Silvermoon’s puzzled voice sounded in his mind.

“An old acquaintance from back then, but our relationship isn’t very good,” Han Li replied casually.

“Is that so? But judging from this woman’s expression, she seems to have a special relationship with Master. Could it be that Master…” Silvermoon said with a smile, but she deliberately didn’t finish her sentence.

“Don’t make wild guesses. I don’t have a good impression of this woman. In fact, we were once enemies.” Han Li seemed to be a little unhappy and snorted.

Silvermoon smiled and made a face at Han Li. Then, she tactfully stopped talking.

Ever since Han Li saved Silvermoon and did not punish her for losing the Purple Cloudlace and the Ancient Flower Basket, Silvermoon had become much closer to Han Li.

Although she did not dare to be too presumptuous, she had clearly opened up a portion of her heart to Han Li.

Han Li naturally sensed this and also trusted her a lot. Their relationship was much better than before.

…

After returning to the Drifting Cloud Sect’s encampment, Han Li naturally told Lu Luo about the discussion in the hall.

“There’s no need for Junior Brother to take the risk to participate in the battle. Those Auric Essences are indeed rare, but they are worldly possessions after all. What if something happens to Junior Brother?!” When Lu Luo heard that Han Li wanted to participate in the battle, he immediately revealed a worried expression.

Han Li smiled and said in a relaxed manner,

“Senior Brother Lu, please be at ease. Since I am willing to participate in the battle, I am 80% to 90% confident that I will be able to escape unscathed. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have agreed so readily. On the other hand, the sect’s other disciples will be in danger in seven days. They will have to rely on Senior Brother Lu to take care of them.”

“I will take care of the disciples of the sect in a few days. Junior Brother, you don’t have to worry. Since you have such confidence in the battle, I won’t say anything else. However, before the battle, if you have any needs, just instruct the disciples of the sect to do it.” Lu Luo’s expression became slightly more at ease after hearing Han Li’s words.

Han Li smiled, but after some thought, he slowly said, “For the sake of this great battle, I truly have to make some preparations. There are a few special materials that I’m afraid I’ll need Martial Nephews to help me gather.”

Han Li did not stand on ceremony. He immediately took out a jade slip that he had already prepared and handed it to Lu Luo.

“Don’t worry, as long as we can find the materials in Tianyi City, I will definitely help you gather them,” Lu Luo said without hesitation after receiving the jade slip.

Han Li’s heart warmed slightly. He nodded and said a few more words before taking his leave.

The jade slip he gave Lu Luo contained the auxiliary materials for refining the Spirit Subjugation Talisman.

On the way back to the encampment, he had already thought about it.

Although he felt that it wouldn’t be a problem for him to participate in the battles with his current abilities, he had always been cautious and felt that he should make more preparations.

Thus, he immediately thought of the Spirit Subjugation Talisman.

This was the only powerful killing move that could be prepared in a few days. As for refining flying swords and cultivating the Aureate Sword Formation, it wasn’t something that could be done in a few days.

The only thing that worried Han Li was the success rate of refining the Spirit Subjugation Talisman.

Originally, he wanted to find a satisfactory Spirit Subjugation Talisman Brush and practice his talisman refinement techniques for a while before refining the Spirit Subjugation Talisman.

But now, it seemed that there was no time.

Even if the success rate was slightly low, he still had to give it a try. If he succeeded in refining it, he would naturally have another killing move. If he failed, it wouldn’t matter.

In any case, it was only a matter of a few days. Even if he made other preparations, he wouldn’t be able to increase his strength.

With this thought in mind, Han Li calmly arrived at his pavilion.

After entering the bedroom, he sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes.

…

Needless to say, the Drifting Cloud Sect disciples were not slow. In just two days, they had prepared all the materials Han Li needed and handed them over to him.

When Han Li saw this, he was elated.

It seemed that being an elder of the Drifting Cloud Sect was not a bad idea.

With these materials, Han Li entered the secret room again and sat cross-legged in the middle of the secret room, arranging the supplementary materials in front of him.

In the end, he took out a small dark green bottle from his storage pouch and carefully opened it.

“Puchi!”

A ball of blood-red light shot out from the bottle.

However, Han Li, who was already prepared, raised his hand with a calm expression. He opened his five fingers and grabbed at the air. A huge azure hand flashed and grabbed the blood-red ball of light.

Soon after, azure light began to circulate incessantly, and with a shake of his five fingers, the ball of blood-red light revealed its true form.

It was a small crimson flood dragon that was several inches in size, and it was continuously rotating in his palm as if it were about to fly away at any moment.

However, the azure light around it, though almost non-existent, firmly trapped the flood dragon soul in its hand like a bird in a cage.

Han Li narrowed his eyes and blue light flashed in the depths of his pupils. He immediately saw the soul of the poisonous flood dragon clearly.

The small crimson flood dragon was alive and kicking, and it appeared to be exactly the same as when he had first placed it into the bottle several years ago.

However, under the Brightsight Spirit Eyes, Han Li clearly discovered something abnormal.

Although the flood dragon’s soul power was still astonishingly powerful, the flood dragon’s divine light wasn’t concentrated. It appeared to be in a daze. This was clearly a sign that its spiritual sense had disappeared.

The flood dragon’s soul possessed immense power, but its consciousness had already degenerated to the state it was in before it was awakened. Its previous actions of fleeing were only an instinct from when it was alive.

Han Li sighed.

When he thought about the grade eight flood dragon that had transformed, he remembered how powerful it was. However, its soul had only fallen into his hands for a few years before it gradually lost its spirit and turned into a wild animal.

The contrast was so great that it made Han Li feel a little emotional! It made Han Li secretly wary of the bumps and difficulties of the cultivation path.

If his body were to be destroyed one day and his primordial spirit were to fall into the enemy’s hands, his fate would definitely not be any better than that of the flood dragon.

Han Li sat on the spot and thought for a while. He sighed and shook his hand.

A ball of azure light wrapped around the blood-red flood dragon and shot out from his hand. It directly shot three meters above his head and floated in the air.

Ignoring the soul of the venomous flood dragon, Han Li lowered his head and glanced at the materials in front of him. He suddenly reached out and pointed at an unknown spirit beast skin.

Immediately, this emerald green rare spirit skin slowly floated up and flew to Han Li’s chest.

Han Li’s eyes flashed. He opened his mouth and spat out a wisp of green Nascent Flame, directly hitting the spirit skin. The spirit skin was wrapped in it, but strangely, it did not burn.

Han Li formed an incantation gesture with his hands and his ten fingers continuously flicked, striking the spirit skin one after another.

The Nascent Flame flickered intermittently and began to flicker.

At this moment, Han Li stopped casting spells. He stretched out a white finger and pointed at a white jade box in front of him.

With a swoosh, the lid of the box flew to the side, revealing a box of sparkling silver powder.

He curled his finger toward the jade box, and a small portion of the silver powder immediately flew into the azure Nascent Flame as a streak of silver light.

In an instant, silver sparks appeared in the flames. Under Han Li’s guidance, they drew closer to the spirit skin in the middle of the flames. The entire spirit skin instantly turned into a large silver lotus that slowly rotated in the flames.

Han Li’s expression became more and more solemn as he pointed at the bottles in front of him. All kinds of materials entered the Nascent Fire in a dazzling manner.

The flames that enveloped the spirit skin turned from silver to black, then from black to green. When it turned into a blood-red color, Han Li let out a light breath and finally stopped throwing materials into the flames. Instead, he chanted an incantation in a low voice.

At the same time, his fingers trembled and several thin azure threads shot out from his fingertips, directly striking the spirit skin.

The spirit skin immediately stopped rotating, and under the guidance of the azure threads, it began to fluctuate in a strange manner.

As he chanted, Han Li continued to act expressionlessly. Gradually, traces of black Qi emerged from the flames on the surface of the spirit skin.

As soon as the black Qi came into contact with the crimson Nascent Flames outside, it instantly disappeared, leaving behind a faint stench.

As for the entire spirit skin, it had shrunk slightly.

Han Li turned a blind eye to this. This action lasted for more than two hours. When the last trace of black Qi on the spirit skin was refined, he heaved a sigh of relief.

After adding a few more materials into the flames and refining them for a short while, Han Li’s gaze flickered a few times and he suddenly blew at the flames.

With a puff, the flames immediately extinguished, revealing the blood-red spirit skin inside. At this moment, it was only the size of a palm.

A satisfied expression appeared on Han Li’s face when he saw the spirit skin in this state.

He raised his head and glanced at the flood dragon soul above his head before pointing at it without any hesitation.

The azure light surrounding the flood dragon soul paused for a moment before turning into specks of spiritual light and disappearing without a trace. As for the flood dragon soul, it seemed to be attracted by something and directly shot towards the blood-red spirit skin.

With a sizzling sound, it disappeared into the surface of the spirit skin.
