SWNOVELS Chapter 798
Monarch Great Development
Hearing Song’s careful words, Han Li nodded and did not ask further.
“It’s good that Martial Nephew Song and Miss Mei aren’t going. The Ten Thousand Ridges Mountain Range are currently filled with all sorts of people. Even if I enter the Devilfall Valley, I don’t have much confidence that I’ll be able to escape unscathed. Miss Violet Spirit doesn’t seem to have any intention of changing your mind. Do you still insist on entering the Devilfall Valley?” Han Li asked Violet Spirit casually.
Violet Spirit smiled charmingly and said, “So long as Brother Han is willing to enter the valley, I’m willing to take the risk. I have complete confidence in you, Fellow Daoist Han.”
Han Li looked at Violet Spirit and said without blinking, “Since Fellow Daoist Violet Spirit has said so, I won’t persuade you any further. However, before we enter the valley, there are a few things that I have to clarify.”
“Of course. If Brother Han has any questions, feel free to ask,” Violet Spirit replied without any surprise.
“First of all, I want to verify the rumor of the Spirit Kindle Fruit. I don’t want to enter the Devilfall Valley in a hurry only to find that I’ve rejoiced in vain. Can Miss Violet Spirit confirm this?” Han Li’s expression turned solemn.
“It’s true that Spirit Kindle Fruit is out there. The Ghost Spirit Sect elder’s Nascent Soul, who was lucky enough to escape from Devilfall Valley, personally said this. Otherwise, the Ghost Spirit Sect’s Nascent Soul eccentrics wouldn’t have put in so much effort for Devilfall Valley. I also have a jade slip here. It’s a statement of the Nascent Soul who personally described the location of the Spirit Kindle Fruit. This should prove the authenticity of this matter.” Violet Spirit was already prepared for Han Li’s question. After he asked, she immediately took out a green jade slip from her storage bag and handed it to Han Li.
Han Li took the jade slip and immersed his mind into it, silently reading it for a while.
A long while later, Han Li withdrew his spiritual sense and returned the jade slip to her.
“According to what it said, this Spirit Kindle Fruit does exist. However, the location is so far into Devilfall Valley, and it’s a little unclear. Based on these words, it’s uncertain if we can find the Spirit Kindle Fruit.” Han Li frowned and said hesitantly.
“Because that Ghost Spirit Sect elder accidentally found the location of the Spirit Kindle Fruit after his Nascent Soul left his body, it’s normal for him to remember the location inaccurately. However, this also mentions a few very obvious landmarks. It shouldn’t be a big problem to find the Spirit Kindle Fruit,” Violet Spirit explained, as if she was afraid that Han Li had the intention to retreat.
Han Li thought about the contents of the jade slip and muttered to himself. It was obvious that he was weighing the pros and cons.
A moment later, Han Li raised his head and calmly asked, “Even if we find this spiritual fruit, we have to refine the Fate Pill in the valley. Otherwise, the effectiveness of the spiritual fruit will be greatly reduced. Have you prepared the supplementary ingredients for refining the pill, Miss Violet Spirit?”
Violet Spirit was overjoyed when she heard this. She immediately suppressed her excitement and said with a brilliant expression, “The supplementary ingredients for the Fate Pill are not easy to find, but I’ve prepared more than ten portions in the past few years. As long as we have the Spirit Kindle Fruit, we won’t have any problems refining the Fate Pill if my luck isn’t extremely bad.”
“Since this isn’t a big problem, I’ll take a look in Devilfall Valley. However, Lady Violet Spirit, there’s no need for me to elaborate on the dangers in the valley. After we enter the valley, I’ll protect you as far as I can. However, if we really encounter danger that even I can’t withstand, you have to be prepared to protect yourself,” Han Li said indifferently with a stern expression.contemporary romance
Violet Spirit replied without hesitation, “Of course. If such a thing were to happen, it would be because of my lack of luck. I definitely wouldn’t dare to resent Brother Han. Besides, I’m quite confident in my ability to survive.” The gentleness on her body was completely swept away, and a hint of unyielding spirit faintly appeared.
Han Li was stunned. He was very satisfied with Violet Spirit’s words and his expression eased.
“Have you three Fellow Daoists figured out how the Ghost Spirit Sect entered the valley? When I came, I heard that the Ghost Spirit Sect actually issued Devilfall Medallions to restrict the number of people entering the valley. This is somewhat strange. From the current situation, there is no difference between several hundred cultivators and over a thousand cultivators entering at once. It seems that there are some restrictions on the method of entering the valley. Otherwise, how could the Ghost Spirit Sect not extort more people?”
A hint of surprise appeared on Violet Spirit’s face, and she smiled sweetly. “Brother Han is indeed extraordinary. You’ve guessed correctly.”
“Although Sister Mei Ning and I didn’t bother to find out the specific method to enter the valley because of the leak of the news, we vaguely learned from that disciple that this time, we have to borrow the strength of many Ghost Spirit Sect disciples and consume a large number of spirit stones to enter the valley at a specific time. As for the number of people entering the valley, it is indeed because of this that there is a limit.”
“Regardless of what method the Ghost Spirit Sect is using to enter the valley, our Drifting Cloud Sect was given three Devilfall Medallions this time. When I returned to the sect, I also received one. Entering the outer valley will not be a problem. As for the inner valley, it will be fraught with difficulties. No one has the confidence to say that they will definitely pass through safely. However, I believe that most cultivators will only stay in the outer valley to search for treasures. Those who dare to enter the inner valley should be Nascent Soul cultivators. Of course, there will definitely be Core Formation cultivators who want to take a gamble, but there won’t be too many. When we enter the outer valley, Fellow Daoist Violet Spirit won’t be in much danger. You can deal with it alone. When we enter the inner valley…”
Han Li’s eyes flickered, and his lips suddenly moved slightly, but silently. He actually used a sound transmission technique.
The woman surnamed Song and Mei Ning didn’t feel any dissatisfaction upon seeing this. After all, this trip was extremely dangerous, so it was understandable for them to be careful.
“We’ll do as you say, Brother Han.” Violet Spirit hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
“Then I’ll see you in Devilfall Valley, Fellow Daoist Violet Spirit. By the way, Martial Nephew Song, I heard from the sect’s disciples that Senior Brother Cheng is also here. Do you know where he is?” Han Li asked the woman surnamed Song about the silver-haired old man.
Cultivator Song paused for a moment before hurriedly replying, “Martial Nephew doesn’t know of this. Martial Uncle Cheng is traveling with a few old friends. Ever since he arrived, he hasn’t contacted Martial Nephew.”
“I see! Looks like Senior Brother Cheng wants to enter the valley before the end of his lifespan,” Han Li muttered as if he was thinking about something.
After a moment of silence, Han Li frowned and asked, “I heard that there will be Moulan spell warriors participating in this trip to Devilfall Valley. Is this true? Is there any news of this?”
“The three of us have also heard this news. However, there are many different theories on this matter, and the three of us also don’t know if it’s true.” Violet Spirit seemed to have a headache over this as well, and she revealed a helpless expression.
Han Li stroked his chin and remained silent. But after a moment, Han Li’s expression suddenly changed slightly. He suddenly stood up and said goodbye before leaving.
The three female cultivators in the room stared at each other for a long while.
“What’s going on? Why is Brother Han leaving in such a hurry?” Violet Spirit’s bright eyes flickered with confusion.
“I don’t know. Perhaps Senior Han has other important matters to attend to.” Mei Ning’s brows were tightly knitted together as a hint of disappointment appeared on her face.
As for Cultivator Song, she looked in the direction of the door and began to ponder.
…
“Old ghost, what are you doing? Do you really want your soul to dissipate?” At this moment, Han Li was walking on a remote street. His footsteps were methodical and seemed to be calm. However, in reality, he was scolding someone in his mind with extreme frustration.
“Hehe! I only saw that the girl named Violet Spirit was extremely beautiful. It’s normal for me to have some thoughts,” an old voice replied in Han Li’s mind indifferently.
“Hmph! Don’t tell me you don’t know that the Seven Emotions Technique you used in the past linked your emotions with my second Nascent Soul? It’s fine if you’re in heat, but don’t implicate me. After all, my second Nascent Soul is also connected to my mind. Besides, Violet Spirit’s current appearance isn’t particularly outstanding, so how did you see her true appearance? You claim you’ve seen all the beauties in the world and take them as your concubines? A female cultivator can make you behave so badly. You didn’t lie to me in the past, did you?” Han Li asked coldly, still angry.
“I used the Seven Emotions Technique to deal with your main soul, but who would’ve thought that a mere early-Nascent Soul cultivator would be able to cultivate a second Nascent Soul to block this calamity? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have ended up like this. Although the Seven Emotions Technique can’t control a cultivator’s spiritual sense, it can control their emotions and make them wish they were dead. As for that girl, she used a secret technique to conceal her true appearance, but how could she hide from my spiritual sense?” the old man said with a hint of dissatisfaction.
“No matter how powerful your Seven Emotions Technique is, it’s useless if you find the wrong target. Although I’m linked to the second Nascent Soul, it’s only a small problem for me to be affected by the Seven Emotions Technique. As for you, I didn’t expect that the founder of the Thousand Bamboo School and the Great Development Technique, Monarch Great Development, would possess a puppet and survive until now. If it weren’t for the fact that your spiritual sense is indeed inconceivably powerful and that you know the Great Development Technique like the back of your hand, I wouldn’t have believed it at all. But even so, don’t blame me for being impolite if you try to stir up trouble with some female cultivators.” Han Li’s voice became sinister.
The old man harrumphed and disdainfully said, “Youngster Han, it’s not like you don’t know. Even with the help of your Soul Guiding Wood beads, my soul will disappear in a few decades at most. If it weren’t for the fact that I’ve only half finished the last puppet I’ve developed, I would’ve wished to reincarnate as soon as possible. I have lived long enough as a puppet without the slightest feeling for tens of thousands of years. If you hadn’t seen a woman in tens of thousands of years, you would’ve been even worse than me!”
When Han Li heard this, he rubbed his nose and felt a huge headache.
This old monster whose true body was hidden in the bamboo tube was truly extremely difficult to deal with. If it weren’t for the fact that the man had agreed to tell him the last three levels of the Great Development Technique and was willing to teach him several powerful puppet refinement techniques that had never appeared before, he would have already used many methods to exterminate the other party.
What was even more infuriating was that the other party’s spiritual sense was unbelievably powerful. Even if Han Li used a soul search technique on the old monster who was completely defenseless, it had no effect at all. Instead, the other party almost took the opportunity to control his spiritual sense. This frightened Han Li so much that he did not dare to use this method again.
In the face of the Monarch Great Development, an old monster who had lived for more than ten thousand years, Han Li had a feeling that he did not know where to start.
