"These immortal elixirs," Segment Tianren said, gazing at the dense array of jade boxes floating in the air, his excitement now hard to conceal. "My good friend, wait a moment! Though we originally agreed to divide these elixirs equally, the subsequent immortal stones and crystal moon elixirs were all provided by me. I would like to claim an additional tenth of these elixirs." Although Ci Liuying was equally excited, she shook her head at that moment. "An extra tenth? Are you going to back out on your promise now? As for the immortal stones, I and Segment Tianren will compensate you separately shortly. As for the crystal moon elixirs—though they are indeed body-strengthening sacred medicines, how can they compare to even a tenth of the immortal elixirs from the Immortal Realm? At most, you'll only get five or six of these elixirs, and that would be the best I can offer." Qian Jixi's expression darkened, and she spoke coldly. "Very well, five then—five," Ci Liuying agreed immediately, her face still bright with a smile. Qian Jixi was momentarily stunned, but then recalled something, her expression Seeing this scene, Duan Tianren simply stood by, arms folded, a smile playing on his face. The three immediately began distributing the hundreds of medicinal pills from the jade boxes, going through intense negotiations before finally dividing them all among themselves. "Ha ha, with these pills, the blockage that has plagued me for so long should now be easily broken," Duan Tianren said, satisfied, as he collected all the jade boxes he had received. "But I'm certain there are still some pills remaining on the young one's person. Do either of you have no interest in them?" Qian Jixi's eyes flashed with a subtle spark, and suddenly said this. Duan Tianren and Cai Liu Ying instantly grasped the meaning behind Qian Jixi's words, yet upon exchanging glances, both of them revealed a sense of caution. "If it were just him alone, we three together would certainly be able to handle him. But don't forget Elder Weng's recent instruction—specifically, that we were to open the seal on the transmission array so that this young man could use it." Thus, he likely has some connection with Master Gong. Moreover, the size of the herb garden has already been mentioned by my junior disciple, and the precious medicinal herbs are nearly exhausted—though a few may remain, they certainly won’t be in large numbers. To further offend Master Gong over these remaining few would be unwarranted. Besides, this young man possesses remarkable abilities and is exceptionally well-mannered; there’s no need to complicate matters further. Segment Tianren’s expression shifted between gloomy and composed before he finally shook his head and said, “My younger sister also agrees with Brother Duan’s assessment. Should we truly offend Master Gong, even as members of the Sacred Clan, we would surely be unable to bear the consequences.” Cai Liuying nodded seriously, expressing her agreement. “With both of you agreeing, I shall consider my earlier remarks as if I had never said them. Indeed, I was rather overly ambitious at that moment.” Qianjizi chuckled lightly, and casually brushed the matter aside. Without the support of Cai Liuying and Segment Tianren, he naturally abandoned all other intentions. …At that moment, Han Li had already stepped onto the descending mountain path, his sleeves fluttering gently, his expression calm and composed. Yet within him, thoughts surged and swirled as he weighed the advantages and disadvantages of this transaction. On the surface, it seemed that he had suffered a significant loss—so many precious herbs from the Immortal Realm had been exchanged for mere materials and pills. But in reality, he was fully aware that he had not only avoided any loss, but had actually gained a substantial advantage. This was because, when he had initially presented his collection of herbs, he had deliberately reserved a backup specimen for each type. With just a bit more time upon his return, he could, thanks to the mysterious vials, rapidly mature and replenish his supply in large quantities. Thus, his only real cost was the added time required to return. As for the Red Luo Fruit and the Eroding Toxin Grass, since the accelerated maturation method might not always prove effective, he had only offered a few specimens, retaining the majority of his kindred herbs. The seven or eight unique herbs, as well as the enigmatic silver lotus buds, he had absolutely no intention of parting with. Thus, Han Li effectively gained substantial benefits from the others—without losing a single precious herb or medicine. He felt exceptionally pleased. After descending from this mountain, he found a lodging establishment similar to an inn nearby and settled there temporarily. Over the next three days, instead of staying quietly at his quarters, he wandered through various material shops within Fuzhao City, purchasing large quantities of supplies. While these materials were not particularly rare, they were unique specialties of the Leiming Continent. Since Han Li intended to return to Fengyuan Continent, he decided to stock up on them in anticipation of future needs. On the fourth day morning, he left his quarters and headed directly toward the Leping Mountain, located about one hundred and twenty miles west of Fuzhao City. Among the vast mountain range, Leping Mountain was neither particularly large nor especially prominent. Had it not been for the evergreen trees scattered throughout the mountain and the distinctive, dragon-like silhouette of its peaks, few would have noticed this mountain at all. After transforming into a shimmering green rainbow, Han Li gently dimmed the light to reveal his form and glanced downward. With his current powerful spiritual awareness, he instantly surveyed the entire mountain in a single sweep. The mountain was empty—Zhao Zhi Li, his companion, had not yet arrived. Han Li's eyes flickered as he pondered in the air. Suddenly, he shook his sleeve, and instantly, several dozen array flags shot upward, streaking toward the mountain's base before vanishing without a trace. Only then did he descend and materialize atop the peak. He settled on a clean, clear stone, seated cross-legged, and closed his eyes. Time flew by swiftly, and within a matter of hours, the passage of time had passed. Han Li's expression shifted, and he suddenly opened his eyes, gazing toward Fuzhao City. Suddenly, a brilliant glow flashed on the distant horizon, and a streak of radiant light shot forth, reaching the peak's sky within moments, then spiraling down to settle there. "Frater Han, I have arrived a little late. I've kept you waiting." As the light faded, an elderly man in yellow robes appeared near Han, bowing politely with both hands. It was Xiang Zhi-li. "Nothing at all. I've only just arrived here myself. Now, Brother, you may speak freely." Han remained calm and said gently. "Of course. But before that, I'd like to have Frater Han take a look at something first." Xiang Zhi-li reached into the broad sleeve of his robe and brought forth a jade box glowing with a vibrant green hue, offering it with a warm smile. "This is the thing Brother wishes to present to me? What could be so mysterious about it!" Han glanced at the jade box, and as his spiritual awareness touched it, the box unexpectedly bounced away from him, causing a slight shift in his expression as he asked, "Indeed, what is this?" There seemed to be a mysterious and profoundly subtle seal cast within the jade box! "Ah, Brother Han, as soon as he personally opens it, he'll naturally discover the secret," said Xiang Zhi-li, smiling with a touch of enigma on his face. Han Li nodded in response. He reached out, took the green jade box, and felt its weight—remarkably light, as though it were weightless. He glanced at Xiang Zhi-li, and then a strange expression flickered across his eyes. Suddenly, he tossed the box into the air and, with a swift sweep of his sleeve, a streak of jade-green swordlight erupted, flashing forward and striking the box with great force. "Ah!" Xiang Zhi-li gasped at the sight, though he could not stop it in time. A sharp "crack" sounded, and the jade box was cleanly severed by the swordlight, revealing a delicate object that drifted gently out. Han Li narrowed his eyes, and immediately saw it clearly, his face now showing a look of mild surprise. It turned out to be a golden talisman, its surface adorned with intricate silver patterns, and countless golden and silver characters surrounding it subtly, shimmering in and out of view, giving it an exceptionally mysterious appearance. "This 'Giants' Talisman,' I acquired by chance during my journey through the Human Realm, but it can only be activated and controlled once the user reaches the stage of Spiritual Transformation or above. Thanks to this talisman, I was able to survive the numerous spatial transitions that I encountered—without it, I would have perished long ago. However, now that I have fallen back to the Condensation stage, it serves no further purpose for me. I shall therefore gift it to my younger brother, Han. In return, I would like Han to return to the Human lineage and assist me with a small task. Rest assured, this is something entirely within Han's reach!" Master Xiang's expression returned calm and composed. He never mentioned a single word about Han's action of cutting open the jade box, instead offering a brief and sincere explanation. Upon hearing this, Han slightly furrowed his brows, remained silent, and then extended his hand upward. At once, an invisible force radiated outward, spreading and enveloping the space The golden scroll shot down and was seized in hand. Feeling the pure spiritual energy emanating from this "Giants' Scroll," Han Li's mind stirred. Suddenly, a series of sharp rushing sounds erupted, and several translucent, fine filaments shot forth from between his brows, vanishing instantly into the scroll. "Crystalization of Spirit Awareness," Xiang Zhi Li gasped at this sight, her eyes widening in astonishment. Yet, at the very next moment, an unexpected transformation occurred! The once vibrant scroll, rich with spiritual energy, suddenly emitted a soft sound, shifting from golden to dark, and a gray mist rose up. A burst of fine gray-white filaments shot out from the scroll, moving with such speed that they appeared before Han Li mere moments later. Yet Han Li seemed entirely prepared for this development—his face showed no signs of panic. Instead, a flash of insight crossed his mind, and a thick, golden light shield materialized around him, dense and resilient, as if impervious to any assault. Indeed, it was so. With Han Li's current cultivation, the protective luminous aura formed by the Buddhist Saint's True Demon Technique was generally impervious to ordinary treasures—indeed, most ordinary artifacts could hardly penetrate it. Yet an odd phenomenon occurred! This gray-white filament seemed entirely indifferent to the golden glow, passing straight through it in a flash, and then entering Han Li's body. Han Li felt a sudden chill radiating out from the point where the gray-white filament entered, and within just one breath, his limbs and body became numb, rendering him completely immobile. At the same time, Xiang Zhilin, who had stood several zhang away, immediately reacted upon seeing the gray-white filament enter Han Li's body—his face darkened with fury, and as he pressed two hand seals, his body suddenly burst apart. Splashing blood and flesh flew everywhere, and a hazy blood shadow materialized in place. Then, a surge of bloodlight erupted, and the blood shadow transformed into a blood-hued rainbow, rushing directly toward Han Li. As soon as it approached, a strong scent of blood washed over him.
