Thousands of miles away is not that far for high-level monks. At Han Li's speed, it took him about half an hour to reach it.
Suspended in mid-air, looking at a faintly visible island on the sea ahead, my heart instantly became extremely vigilant.
According to the location provided by the master, the lair of the Wind Splitting Beast is on the island. As long as the great demon in the transformation stage is still there at this moment, his arrival will definitely not be hidden from the other party's perception.
Next, you have to test your 'acting skills'. You must be natural. This is very important. After all, a large demon that is suspected to be a ninth-level demon is no less intelligent than a human being. If you are not careful, your flaws will most likely be seen. .
He is relatively confident in this aspect, and as long as he is careful, there will be no problems.
Han Li did not go to the island immediately. Instead, he took the lead in using his spiritual consciousness to "properly" explore it several times. Then he continued to move forward, and soon he was flying over the island.
His eyes searched below for a moment, and finally looked at the mountainside of a certain stone mountain. There was a dark cave entrance blocked by several huge rocks, which was several feet in size.
Several concealment spells were cast on his body in succession, and his figure disappeared in an instant.
After turning invisible, he no longer hesitated and flew straight towards the entrance of the cave, and then stepped into it cautiously.
The cave is very deep, and as it goes down, the surrounding air becomes humid.
After about a cup of tea, he finally reached a corner, knowing in his heart that the next step was the highlight. He did not stop, but stepped across the corner while calming down his somewhat anxious mood.
Suddenly, a huge natural cave with a radius of hundreds of feet and a height of more than ten feet appeared in sight.
The stone walls and roof of the cave shone with a faint green light, and in the central area was a steaming green water pool, with some weird vegetation growing around it.
What surprised Han Li was that he did not see his target, the suspected ninth-level wind-splitting beast. On the contrary, there was another short figure standing next to the water pool.
"Level 3 Splitting Wind Beast, could it be..." Han Li's heart suddenly moved, and he immediately thought of something. Could this little Splitting Wind Beast be the cub of Splitting Wind Beast that Master had mentioned?
At this time, the little Split Wind Beast was lying alone on the edge of the pool, pulling at the green pool water in boredom, not noticing the arrival of outsiders at all.
Han Li, who was invisibility, was also aware of this, and subconsciously thought, if he took action at this moment and directly captured the cub of the split wind beast, would he be able to use it to threaten his father? Wouldn't this save trouble?
However, such an idea only occurred for a moment and was immediately dispelled by him. At this moment, he must have been exposed under the eyes of the other party, not to mention whether the kidnapping was successful. Even if it was successful, the other party would really surrender. ?
The other party is not a fool. He knows that giving in will mean death, so how can he be fooled?
Thinking of this, he immediately put away his thoughts, and was about to do something according to the plan, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and a red light suddenly shot out from the pool.
Immediately afterwards, a ball of scorching flames emerged out of thin air, turning into fire blades and sweeping straight towards him.
Han Li's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he quickly summoned the divine light to protect his body. At the same time, he dodged sharply, avoiding the range of the fire blade attack in time.
After he stood still, he could see everything clearly. Next to the pool, he saw a strange figure standing in front of the little wind-splitting beast.
She is actually a beautiful woman, she looks about thirty years old, with beautiful appearance and extraordinary temperament.
She has long hair as red as a waterfall, which is simply tied up by a dark red jade hairpin. She has a pair of willow eyebrows that are also red, and her bright red eyes seem to be flickering with firelight.
This appearance is obviously not human, but it does not affect its stunning appearance at all, but it adds a bit of enchanting beauty.
The moment the beautiful woman appeared, the little Split Wind Beast suddenly showed a look of surprise, and then rushed to the side of the woman's bright red skirt, whining incessantly, looking coquettish, and at the same time, his eyes were even more frightened, but there was no lack of it. He looked curiously at the human figure that suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Don't be afraid. Mom is here, and no one can hurt you at all." Her white jade hand gently stroked the little Split Wind Beast's head a few times to comfort her. The beautiful woman just looked forward again, but she did not continue. Instead of attacking, he looked at the visitor with interest. After a long time, he smiled coldly and said,
"You, a human boy, are so daring. With only your cultivation in the middle stage of pill formation, you dare to enter near the abyss, and even enter the cave of this palace. Aren't you afraid of the end of life and death?"
"Senior, please forgive me, junior, I came here unintentionally. I hope you can forgive me for any offense I've caused." Han Li quickly bowed respectfully, but he was secretly anxious. The master was really a scam. Didn't he say that the information was foolproof? He had made such a detailed plan, but now, suddenly, another banshee appeared, and everything changed.
He just hoped that he had a back-up plan, otherwise he would have no choice but to escape immediately. Facing an eighth-level demon cultivator, he still had some confidence. As long as he could wait for the master's rescue, everything would still be done in time.
"I came here accidentally!" A trace of ridicule flashed in the beautiful woman's eyes, and she continued,
"It's quite a coincidence that a human monk in the middle stage of pill formation 'accidentally' went deep into the depths of the sea and approached the outer area of the abyss that even monks in the Nascent Soul stage dare not approach easily. In my opinion, you should be Has it been planned for a long time?"
"This..." After hearing the other party's "reasonable" analysis, Han Li seemed to have been exposed, and he suddenly smiled bitterly and said,
"Senior, I have a keen eye. I did come here on purpose. But it was just to get some 'demon companion grass' to refine the elixir. I had no other ideas."
"Fairy Herb?" It seemed like the first time she heard such a name. The beautiful woman was a little confused. It wasn't until the other party raised her hand to give instructions that she finally understood what the so-called Fairy Herb was.
"Just for these weeds? Do you think I will believe it?" Looking back, the beautiful woman snorted again. Human monks have always been cunning and rarely told the truth.
"Senior, I don't know. This demon-companing grass was called 'Thousand Leaf Dew' in ancient times. It is a very special elixir that is used in some top elixirs." Han Li hurriedly said He explained again, and at the same time, he took out the jade slip given by the master. It was given by the monk in Cunjin Pavilion and contained records of his experiences in ancient times.
With a rush of magic power in his hand, he slowly sent the jade slip to the opponent, and then continued,
"There are relevant records in it. Senior, if you don't believe it, just take a look and you will know."
Looking at the jade slip in her hand, a flash of surprise suddenly flashed in the beautiful woman's eyes, and she wondered if she had really misunderstood the other party?
Exploring a ray of consciousness into the jade slip, I finally browsed through the contents within a moment. As the other party said, the origin of Qianye Lu was indeed mentioned.
The vegetation in the eighth-level monster beast's lair has been infected by the monster's aura over the years, causing even ordinary weeds to undergo qualitative changes and become spiritual grass with special medicinal properties.
I have to admit that the human race's research on the alchemy path is really extensive and profound, and the demon race is far behind in this regard. This is not only true for alchemy, weapon refining, formations and other aspects.
Especially when it comes to weapon refining, it seems that the guy who praised the human race's weapon refining method so highly after returning from the inner sea was not without purpose.
Withdrawing her consciousness, the beautiful woman looked at Han Li again, paused, her eyes suddenly flashed slightly and said,
"I will believe your explanation for the time being, and I will spare your life. However, humans and monsters have different paths. As a human monk, you cannot break into my cave without paying some price."
"Senior, what do you mean by this!" When he heard that he had to pay a price, Han Li's expression suddenly changed, and his vigilance instantly increased to the extreme. He was ready to take action at any time, it just depended on the other party's next answer.
"You don't need to be nervous. Since I have promised to spare your life, I will naturally not break my promise. The so-called price is actually not difficult. It is just a piece of cake for you."
"Senior, if you have any conditions, feel free to speak up. As long as you are within your ability, I will do your best to satisfy them." Han Li felt a little relieved, but continued to test.
"It's very simple. I plan to do something in the near future, and I happen to need the help of a monk who practices wood attribute skills. Since you happen to be here, just take action once at that time.
In addition, your help will not be in vain, and you will even be given a great opportunity as a reward. You can also rest assured that as long as the matter is over, you can come and go freely, and I will never stop you. "The beautiful woman smiled slightly and promised firmly.
"Help!" Han Li's heart moved, and he immediately thought of what his master mentioned before. It seemed to be right. But it was the split wind beast who should have mentioned this matter. If it were the beautiful woman in front of him, would it be any different?
He was a little hesitant. After all, the situation had changed, and it was not certain whether it would develop as the master said.
If he refused at this moment, he would have a certain chance of escaping, but it would also mean that his original plan failed completely. But if you agree, it will also be troublesome.
He still has a slight chance of escaping here, but if he follows the opponent deep into the lair, he will have no confidence.
While he was hesitating, a familiar voice suddenly entered the sea of consciousness. In an instant, all the tension and uneasiness, hesitation and hesitation in my heart disappeared instantly.
Sure enough, the master was hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and would not really watch him die.
"When will it start?" After regaining consciousness, Han Li asked again.
"Don't worry, it won't take long." The beautiful woman's eyes flashed strangely, and then she asked, "How have you considered it? Do you agree to my terms?"
"This... junior, do you still have a choice?" Han Li's face showed a hint of helplessness at the right time.
"Very good." The other party was so 'interesting', and the beautiful woman's face suddenly showed a look of satisfaction, and she gently waved her jade arm towards the pool. The pool was turbulent, and a red light suddenly appeared, and it was directly isolated in the central area. Exit a passage that leads straight down.
"please……"
"Sorry to bother you." Han Li nodded, no longer hesitating, and immediately flew down into the pool with a flash of green light.
Seeing this, a sly smile flashed through the beautiful woman's red eyes again, and then she grabbed the little Split Wind Beast by the back of the neck and flew down with him.
The pool is quite deep, and it takes about a meal to reach the bottom.
What came into view at this time was a huge black stone door with white light flashing on it, clearly indicating the presence of restrictions.
Turning to look at the beautiful woman, the latter did not explain. She waved her arm again, and the stone door opened, revealing a white light curtain.
Under his leadership, both of them walked forward, passed through the light curtain, and came straight to an unfamiliar passage.
Compared to the water pool, this place is much drier. The passage is surrounded by colorful lights, and the stone walls are inlaid with countless large longan pearls of different colors. The pearly light complements each other and illuminates the surrounding area as if it were daytime.
"The dwelling is right in front. Fellow Taoist is also a rare guest. Please come." The beautiful woman put down the small split wind beast in her hand, let the other party run forward, and invited again with a charming smile.
Han Li didn't speak, only nodded slightly, and then walked forward. When the beautiful woman saw this, the corners of her rosy lips slightly raised, and then she followed leisurely behind.
The passage was not too long, and in a blink of an eye, Han Li entered a gorgeous hall decorated with corals of various colors. In the center was a pure white jade table, and several chairs also carved from beautiful jade.
There are small antique cauldrons placed around the hall, with finger-thick black incense candles inserted in the cauldrons. They slowly burn and emit a faint fragrance.
"By the way, have you ever asked your Taoist friend your name?" While walking, the beautiful woman suddenly asked casually.
"I don't dare to take on a famous name. My surname is Mo, and I am just an unknown person in the human race."
"Why should Fellow Daoist Mo be so modest? He is already a monk in the middle stage of alchemy formation at a young age. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius."
"Senior has misunderstood. The reason why this junior looks young is just because he has taken some beauty-preserving elixirs."
"The beauty-preserving elixir, that's what it is."
"..."
While chatting, Han Li was led by the beautiful woman into a certain area and soon stopped in front of a flaming red stone wall.
After taking a closer look, I realized that this was actually a huge coral reef, with bursts of red light emitting from the whole body, making it appear extremely mysterious.
When the beautiful woman suddenly pressed to a certain position, a white light flashed, and a hole about ten feet long and wide appeared.
"This is..." Han Li's expression condensed slightly, and he suddenly felt vigilant in his heart.
"The dwelling is simple and simple. We can only use this stone room as a room for guests to live temporarily. You Daoist Mo will not mind it, right?" The beautiful woman smiled. Compared with her previous politeness, her tone of voice was obviously a bit stiff at this time. There is a trace of doubt.
"Of course... no!" Han Li still didn't understand what was going on. He showed a hint of vague reluctance at the right time, but still walked in.
The moment he entered, the hole closed instantly, and he was completely trapped inside. (End of chapter)
