Chapter 1268 – The Heavenly East Trading Company
As soon as the golden glittering sword was grasped by the gloved palm, the light converged, but the sword body became more and more chilly.
Seeing this, Han Li’s face did not move, but his heart was really a bit surprised.
After bringing this glove, the knight in front of him could actually drive this so-called “spirit tool”.
This can subvert the concepts he has always had.
Although he had once heard the Heavenly Lan Sacred Beast Branch say that the outstanding mortals in the spiritual realm seemed to be able to fight against Immortal Cultivators, but if the “Spiritual Tools” in front of him were really similar to the general things of magic weapons, mortals could also be used, which made him a bit horrified.
In this case, ordinary mortals do not also have the ability to kill low-ranked cultivators.
As Han Li was marveling, the knight in front of him shook the short sword in his hand and once again slashed at Han Li’s wrist.
This time, the action was obviously much more grave.
Han Li frowned, slowly urging up the spell in his mind.
It’s also funny to say that the Ming Wang Decision and the Vajra Skill are the same kind of technique, but in terms of the way, one is to cultivate with the help of one’s own internal spiritual power, while one is to utilize the outside world to forcefully imbue one’s body with spiritual power.
Han Li had naturally used the Ming King’s Decision method to cultivate at first, but now that he had no magical power in his body, he could only use the Vajra Skill’s mind method when he activated this technique. Moreover, his Ming Wang Decision had not been cultivated to the third layer, but with the assistance of the Bone Tempering Technique and the Dragon Scale Fruit, he had long since cultivated to the fourth layer.
Based on his physical body alone, if he didn’t intentionally diminish the power of the Vajra Skill, the golden sword would still be unable to harm him in the slightest.
As soon as the short sword came into contact with Han Li’s wrist, the golden aura gave a slight lurch, finally cutting through the epidermis, and a strand of blood flowed out.
The knight hurriedly grabbed Han Li’s other hand, dipped his finger in this blood, and began writing several odd runes on the blood spell text book.
As soon as these blood texts took shape, they strangely disappeared into the paper.
It was only at this moment that the knight smiled at Han Li and said:
”Your Excellency now only needs to meditate on the contents of the contract once, and finally express your agreement in your mind!”
Han Li’s eyebrows twitched, but he did as he was told one by one.
As a result, the blood curse instrument suddenly blazed with blood light, and one by one, the runes seemed to come to life, shooting out from the instrument, and disappearing into Han Li and the knight’s body.
And the blood curse instrument itself is “pfft” after a sound, spontaneous combustion, in a turquoise flame into nothing.
”Haha, very good! Brother Han, from today onwards, you are a member of our Tian Dong Trading Company. Xiao Qi, go find a car. Brother Han’s body is impaired right now, so he can’t ride the Mythical Wolf Beast.” The scarred knight’s face revealed a smile, and he was instantly pleasant to Han Li.
The young man from earlier agreed and immediately urged the giant wolf underneath him to race off to the rear.
The scar-faced big man, on the other hand, smiled and chatted with Han Li and introduced himself.
Only then did Han Li realize that the scar-faced man was called Zhang Kui, the captain of one of the Tian Dong Merchant Company’s escort teams, this time escorting a batch of valuable goods that passed through this Qing Luo Desert. And this Green Luo Desert area is not small, just from one end through the other, the caravan will need to travel months of time.
In the two people have a sentence of small talk, the dust in the distance, a huge thing to this and, that small seven in the dust in front of the lead the way look.
Waiting until close to the front, Han cubic only see clearly, is a four or five feet high, seven or eight feet long giant tortoise out.
On the back of the giant tortoise there was a carriage made of green wood, and at the front end of the tortoise shell there was another seat, on which a black and thin gray-robed old man sat, as if he were a coachman.
Giant tortoise in front of a few knights stopped, carriage door opened on its own, from the inside out of a slender silhouette, actually is a about fifteen or sixteen years old green shirt girl, round face, very sweet appearance.
”Uncle Zhang, is this the man?” The young girl swept her gaze over Han Li on the ground and asked with a smile.
”Miss Xiang’er! This brother Han has already joined our merchant company, only his body is a bit inconvenient, the other cars have goods, so we only have to bother a few girls.” The scar-faced big man was actually unusually polite to the young girl.
”Oh, since he has joined our merchant company, he is not an outsider anymore, taking care of him is only right, send him up.” The young girl said with a sweet smile. Although she was still young, she already showed a hint of femininity.
The scar-faced big man said thank you under his breath, and then with a wave of his hand, the two knights jumped down from the giant wolf, plucked Han Li out of the sand, one person raised his head, and one person set up his legs, and sent Han Li up to the giant tortoise through a rope ladder that was hanging.
The young girl’s body swayed and flashed into the car one step ahead of her, followed by the two knights who set Han Li up at the door as well.
With a single sweep of his gaze, Han Li took in the entire carriage.
Carriage space is very large, enough to sit more than ten people is still more than enough, but in addition to the previous cui shirts girl, the car is also sitting in the rest of the three girls, the age from twelve or thirteen to sixteen or seventeen years of age ranging, but all outstanding appearance, unlike the average person.
And the car in addition to a table and fixed in the surrounding benches, there is nothing, seems quite empty.
No wonder, that scar-faced man would send Han Li to this place.
Han Li was eventually placed on a bench in one corner of the carriage, with an unknown yellow animal skin underneath, furry and quite comfortable.
The two knights honestly retreated out, actually did not take this opportunity to look at the car in the several women any glance.
Han Li was a little surprised, but he did not know how many great storms in the human world, naturally will not show a different color, rushed to the car in a few women after a slight smile, on their own eyes closed to improve their energy.
Although it is said that there is not a trace of mana in his body, coupled with the meridians have not been fully restored, can not really cultivate anything. But in the desert stayed for several months, the daytime heat is intolerable, the night ice cold piercing the bones, coupled with the body mess was tossed not light, the spirit is really some tired.
The four young girls sitting in the carriage, at first naturally surveyed Han Li with curious eyes and whispered, obviously discussing Han Li.
Although these young girls’ voices were extremely low, at such a close distance, with Han Li’s superior ear power, he naturally heard their words clearly.
”Sister Xiang’er, what kind of injuries did this person sustain that he can’t even move a muscle?”
”Who knows, but Uncle Zhang just said that he would have one of the Immortal Cultivators in the caravan come over to take a look in a moment.”
”Tsk tsk, Uncle Zhang holds this person in such high regard? Those Immortal Cultivators can’t be easily invited.”
”It’s not clear, but Uncle Zhang said that this seems to have great potential and is a rare talent. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent him to our sister carriage.”
”Talent? How come I don’t see it, this person looks like he’s ordinary?”
……
Han Li seemed to turn a deaf ear to the comments of the several young girls, and just quietly lay motionless on the beast’s skin.
At this time, the giant turtle once again turned around and ran, not slow but smooth and unusual. Han Li in the carriage, can only feel the slight undulation.
Shortly afterward the giant tortoise suddenly lurched and stopped.
Noises, words came from outside the car, and the giant tortoise seemed to have returned to the ranks of the caravan.
Then after hearing a loud shout from the scar-faced man, the entire caravan once again kicked off and advanced.
Although Han Li was deep in the carriages and could not see the situation of the convoy personnel, it was obvious that the number of people was quite large, at least two to three hundred people.
At this time, the four young girls discussed for a while, see Han Li but not the slightest reaction, seems to feel bored, the topic turned, and began to talk about other things.
This time, the voices were much louder, with no intention of avoiding Han Li.
”I’ve heard that this time, the things that our Heavenly East Merchant Company is transporting are related to the safety and security of An Yuan City, which is why the An Yuan City Lord spent sky-high spirit stones to hire our merchant company to transport this cargo over from such a faraway place. Otherwise, for a small, remote city like An Yuan City, our Heavenly East Merchant Company is generally unwilling to do their business.”
”However, why did madam go to An Yuan City one step ahead and didn’t even bring the four of us with her, that’s a bit strange.”
”Hee hee, you three don’t know anymore. This time, Madam personally went out, partly because this cargo is more important, and partly to welcome the Fifth Young Master home.”
”The fifth young master, is the madam’s own son who was sent away to cultivate a dozen years ago. Wasn’t it said that the fifth young master is endowed with spiritual roots and has been taken under the tutelage of an Immortal Cultivator? How could he have appeared in An Yuan City.” A cry of surprise came from a young girl named Xiang’er.
”This, I’m not too sure. I also heard the madam talking to herself.”
”I heard that this Fifth Young Master was very much favored by Madame and Master when he was young due to his spiritual roots. If that’s the case, it’s no wonder madam was in such a hurry to leave first.”
A few young girls chattered incessantly, while Han Li on the bench, with a calm expression and a slightly heaving chest, seemed to have fallen asleep and not woken up.
”Who’s outside?” A blue-shirted maiden, who was the oldest in the car and also spoke the least, suddenly sank in color and rushed outside the door of the car to question.
The other three young girls’ complexions changed slightly when they heard this.
And right at this moment, a faint man’s voice came from outside the carriage:
”Miss Liu’er, poor Taoist Nanqi Zi, entrusted by Shi Master Zhang, has come to visit a Shi Master surnamed Han?”
”So it’s Taoist Master Nanqi Zi, Liu’er has lost her respect. Please come in quickly, Taoist Master!” The blue-shirted girl heard this and returned with a slightly slower expression, and subconsciously turned her head to glance at a corner of the carriage.
As a result, the girl’s expression was stunned!
Because I don’t know when, Han Li had already opened his eyes, and his head was tilted down, right into her gaze, and the corner of his mouth also contained a trace of a smile if nothing else.
At this time, the name “Xiang’er” green shirt girl has opened the door to the car, the results of the car outside the race stood a yellow-robed Taoist priest and a white-robed old man.
Taoist only more than thirty years of age, face green light flickering, clearly is the magic power to reach a certain realm of performance, while the white-robed old man but a head of gray hair, full of wrinkles, a slightly trembling look of old age.
”Hehe, Fu Lao! Why is your old man here as well.” Upon seeing that white-robed old man, the emerald-shirted maiden was stunned with a look of great surprise.
