Chapter 516 – Companion Demon Grass
”I wonder if the Thousand Leaf Dew item is known to you, Daoist Gu?” Han Li didn’t make a show of metaphysics, opening the door and asking directly.
”Thousand Leaf Dew?” Gu Yu’s expression was stunned, but after a moment’s contemplation, he quickly replied, “This item has a bit of an impression on my juniors. Coincidentally, if I had asked about this item a few years earlier, I really wouldn’t have known anything about it. But two years ago, seniors obtained an ancient tome, which mentioned the Thousand Leaf Dew. This tome has been copied by senior into a jade simplification, does senior want to take a look at it personally?” After saying these words, Gu Yu revealed a hint of caution.
Han Li, on the other hand, was overjoyed in his heart and couldn’t help but have a look of excitement flash across his eyes.
”It’s even better if there’s a tome. If it’s truly the item I’m looking for, Mister Qu will definitely thank you heavily.” Han Li held back the excitement in his heart and said with a smile.
Gu Yu was equally overjoyed upon hearing this. To be able to obtain this promise from a JieDan stage cultivator, then his creation this time was truly not small!
He immediately stopped hesitating and fumbled around on his body for a while, pulling out a yellowish jade slip and handing it to Han Li with both hands.
”This is this jade slip, senior please take a closer look!” Gu Yu said in a respectful voice.
Han Li didn’t say anything more and directly took the jade slip, quickly scanning it with his divine sense.
In just a moment’s time, Han Li’s expression was first excited, then puzzled, and finally fell into deep thought.
Li Xun carefully observed Han Li’s every move from the sidelines, and seeing Han Li’s expression change like this, he also couldn’t help but have unknown colors flash through his eyes.
As for Gu Yu, he was even more apprehensive, fearing that the Thousand Leaf Dew in his jade sketch was not what this Senior Qu was looking for.
”Not bad, it is this item.” Han Li finally pulled his divine sense out of the jade sketch and slowly said, but the excitement in his eyes was much less.
”What, what else is troublesome about this Thousand Leaf Dew?” After the old man’s eyes turned slightly, he asked somewhat tentatively.
”Mister Qu also didn’t expect that this thing was so tricky that it would be associated with a grade eight demonic beast.” A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Han Li’s mouth.
”An eighth level demonic beast?” Li Xun was startled, looking at Han Li with an incredulous gaze.
”Not bad. The so-called Thousand Leaf Dew is actually the ‘Juice of the Companion Demon Grass’, it’s just that this Companion Demon Grass must be one that grows by the side of a rank eight demonic beast in order to be effective.” Han Li let out a light sigh and spoke somewhat helplessly.
Li Xun was also speechless after hearing it clearly.
”Companion Demon Grass”, he naturally knew what it was, wasn’t it in the vicinity of some demonic beasts’ nests, because of the long years of being influenced by demonic qi and a kind of spiritual grass growing well. According to reason, this kind of companion demon grass is indeed everywhere, but if it is the companion demon grass by the side of the eighth level demon beast, it can be very different.
Although the outer star sea claimed that even the ninth level, even the tenth level demonic beasts have been seen, but this is after all rumors and their own. At the very least, a level seven demonic beast was the highest level demonic beast he had seen in Black Stone City. Not to mention eighth level demonic beasts.
Li Xun looked at Han Li’s gaze, with a trace of consternation. I don’t know what kind of precious elixir this person wants to refine, but he actually needs this kind of heaven-defying thing.
”Of the things recorded in this jade slip, there are some that I may have to scrutinize for a moment or two in the future, I don’t know if you, Daoist Gu, can cut the jade slip and give it to Mister Qu?” Han Li played with the jade slip in his hand for a bit, and after a slight hesitation, he suddenly and unexpectedly said to Gu Yu.
”If it’s useful to senior, senior can just take it!” Gu Yu was dumbfounded, but then said without hesitation.
Seeing how well-behaved the other party was, Han Li nodded slightly and with a flip of his palm, a small vial and a talisman with a small yellow sword drawn on it appeared in his hand.
”As a senior, I naturally won’t take your things for nothing. Here is a vial of elixir that can boost your cultivation a bit and a talisman treasure, take it and use it.” Han Li tossed these two items over with a flick of his hand.
”Many thanks for the gift of treasure, senior!” Gu Yu received the two items and was overjoyed as he thanked them with a big salute. These things, for him, a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, were really valuable.
”Since fellow Daoist Qu has already given the treasures. Gu Yu, you can go down for now.” Li Xun was slightly surprised by Han Li’s generosity, but without moving, he allowed Gu Yu to exit the room.
Only the two of them remained in the room again in the blink of an eye.
”I wonder if there’s anything else that you need Li Xun’s assistance with besides this matter? If there is, just feel free to mention it, fellow Daoist.” Li Xun said in an unusually bold manner.
”Since Fellow Daoist Li said so. I really do have one thing that I would like to trouble you with again. I don’t know if this Inch of Gold Pavilion, can there be an onyx beast’s unicorn horn for sale?” Han Li hesitated a bit and asked with deliberation.
”Hehe, you really came to the right place! This onyx horn is extremely rare, but last month this store just happened to acquire two, if you need it, I’ll ask someone to send one.” The old man clapped his hands and laughed softly, ordering down without a moment’s hesitation.
Han Li’s face naturally appeared pleasantly surprised as he thanked him!
Not long after, a boy walked into the room with a silver tray in his hand.
On top of the silver plate, an exquisite wooden box was placed.
”Fellow Daoist, I wonder if this horn agate is as expected.”
Han Li nodded solemnly and reached out to grab the wooden box, opening the lid. With a release of blue light, a half-foot-long pointed horn appeared inside the box. The object was crystalline and translucent, in the shape of a pointed cone spiral, with blue light surfacing on the surface.
”Not bad! This one fits the bill. I wonder how many spirit stones this item requires?” Han Li revealed a look of satisfaction and covered the wooden box again.
”This horn was purchased by this store at a price of five thousand spirit stones, since you really need it, just give an entry price.” Li Xun said with a very good smile.
Han Li naturally wouldn’t bargain any further. Immediately after claiming his thanks, he counted out enough middle-ranked spirit stones from his body and pushed them over to the other party.
With a flutter of the old man’s wide robe sleeves, he collected these spirit stones before asking with a smile on his face, ”Do you have any detailed plans after arriving here, Fellow Daoist Qu? Although you have high magical power, but the high level demonic beasts here are really not easy to deal with, there are quite a few fellow JieDan practitioners, because they fell alone and were seriously injured by the demonic beasts. Why don’t I introduce some of my fellow Daoists with similar cultivation levels to you, so that if we all go out to sea together, our safety will be greatly guaranteed.”
Han Li listened with a faint smile, the other party had been so kind from start to finish, and had finally spoken the words to draw him in.
”Thank you for your kind words, Fellow Daoist Li. However, in the near future, Mister Qu is preparing to refine some pills, and after taking them, I’m afraid I’ll have to close my eyes for a period of time first. Going out to sea to hunt demonic beasts, I’m not in a hurry.” Han Li was not in a position to reject the other party out of hand, but he wouldn’t be able to go out to sea with some unfamiliar cultivators either, so he politely declined.
”That’s also right, it’s better to improve some cultivation first and familiarize myself slightly with the situation here. However, if Fellow Daoist Qu really wants to find someone in the future, he must not forget to look for Li Mou!” Although a hint of disappointment flashed across the old man’s face, he immediately continued as if nothing had happened.
Han Li naturally agreed with a full mouth, and then after chatting with the other party for a while longer, he excused himself and left.
The old man kept sending Han Li out the doorway before returning back inside.
”Well? Is this person something we can use for us.” The old man had just returned to his seat when a faint voice suddenly resounded within the house, followed by a blurry silhouette that floated out strangely from a landscape painting within the house. Within this house, there had actually been another person present all along.
This person’s white clothes floated and a green light covered his face, making him appear mysterious.
”There is no need to worry. Although he didn’t talk much with the other party and his face looks unfamiliar, this cultivator surnamed Qu should be a solitary casual cultivator without a doubt. As long as he encounters a few dangers after going out to sea alone, he will naturally know the benefits of what I just suggested, and sooner or later, he will look for it again.” The old man said confidently.
”Hmph! That’s not certain.” The man in white splashed cold water and said coldly.
”What? Can a cultivator at the early stage of JieDan really hunt demonic beasts alone in the Sea Abyss?” Li Xun shook his head in disbelief.
”The other party shouldn’t be an ordinary JieDan cultivator. When you guys were talking inside the house just now, although he never looked towards where I was hiding, for some reason, I had the feeling that I was being watched by this person. I suspect that the other party has long since discovered my existence and just didn’t reveal it.” The white-robed man was silent for a while and suddenly said solemnly.
”There’s no mistaking it, your hiding technique is something that even a cultivator with a cultivation level one step higher wouldn’t be able to discover. Don’t tell me that this guy surnamed Qu is actually a late stage JieDan cultivator.” The old man was a bit startled after being stunned.
”It’s not easy to say! It’s also possible that the other party cultivates a special technique or has some kind of treasure in his possession.” The white-robed man spoke with some lack of confidence.
”Forget it. Regardless of whether this person is ordinary or special, we’ve already tried our best to befriend the other party. It’s never done wrong!” Li Xun said as he circled around the room a few times before frowning down.
Hearing this, the white-robed man nodded approvingly and said no more.
