Chapter 1521 – Bamboo Leaves
”Senior is so certain that senior must have the Golden Thunder Bamboo material!” Han Li asked slowly with a hint of strangeness on his face.
”Old me naturally can’t be certain. However, as Fellow Daoist Han was able to refine seventy-two Golden Thunder Bamboo flying swords at once, the possibility that there is still a surplus of Golden Thunder Bamboo in his hands is not small. That’s why it was mentioned so.” The old man surnamed Jiang didn’t move as he transmitted his voice.
”I’m afraid I’ve disappointed senior, there is simply no surplus Golden Thunder Bamboo in the hands of my juniors, what I inadvertently obtained back then happened to be enough to refine seventy-two flying swords only.” Han Li exhaled a long breath and said back in this manner.
”No?” The old man frowned, seemingly a bit surprised.
”That’s right, senior very much wants senior’s new sword technique and refining the flying swords again, but there’s more than enough in my heart to do so.” Han Li let out a bitter smile.
What he said was completely true.
Although he had the Mysterious Vial and the Golden Thunder Bamboo Spirit Root in his hands. But for so many years, the seventy-two flying swords had always contained enough Evil-Preventing Divine Lightning for him to use, and there were countless other places where the Mystic Vial was needed!
After so many years, he had never cultivated any more surplus Golden Thunder Bamboo. Now that the old man surnamed Jiang had suddenly brought up the matter of exchanging Golden Thunder Bamboos, even though he was greatly moved, he could only refuse with his eyes wide open.
The old man gazed at Han Li for a while, not seeing anything untrue from the candor on his face, before faintly saying, ”If there were no Golden Thunder Bamboo, the old man’s sword skill would not be able to be given to you. By the way, when you collected the Golden Thunder Bamboo back then, you should have gotten quite a few of the Golden Thunder Bamboo’s leaves as well.”
The old man seemed to have remembered something and finally brought up the Golden Thunder Bamboo’s leaves.
”The late generation did collect many of this item. This kind of thing is very peculiar, non-golden and non-wooden in appearance. The senior has never found one with any use, but it doesn’t look like an ordinary thing, so all of them were properly stowed away.” Han Li was stunned for a moment and honestly replied.
”All in! Good, very good. If you don’t have a Golden Thunder Bamboo, give me these Golden Thunder Bamboo leaves, and I can also teach you the Sword Skill and refining method. As for the matter of personally helping you refine your flying sword, but I can’t do it for you. Are you willing?” The old man asked with a hint of joy flowing from his eyes.
”Of course I am willing!” Han Li said without hesitation.
Even though he knew that these Golden Thunder Bamboo leaves must have another wonderful use, otherwise the other party wouldn’t have demanded them. But to him, exchanging something of unknown use for such a great benefit was naturally a thousand times more agreeable.
Han Li flicked one hand toward the storage bracelet, and immediately, green light flashed, and two light green wooden boxes appeared in his hand.
Then a flick of the wrist, the wooden box thrown to the opposite side.
The old man’s hands and feet did not move, the eyes of the strange aura flashed slightly, two wooden box to the body in front, on the strange stop in mid-air.
Then the box cover “poof” two sound, respectively, in the white light opened by itself, revealing the inside of the golden as if pure gold to build a stack of bamboo leaves to.
”Not bad, really is the Golden Thunder Bamboo leaves.” After the old man’s eyes swept through the box, he instantly recognized the authenticity, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
With a shake of his sleeve robe, the two wooden boxes re-closed their lids and disappeared into thin air.
Then his fingers flicked, a white light shot straight toward Han Li.
Han Li grabbed it with one hand, and the white aura was taken into his hand, which was clearly a piece of White Breakfast Dog Jie
”The new sword technique and the method of refining, I’ve already entered them, so you can take a look at them first. Don’t say that the old man has coaxed you.” The old man said with a smile.
”How dare the late generation!” Han Li took the jade slip into his arms without even looking at it.
The old man nodded at this.
”The leaves have been given to senior. Can senior tell us what the purpose of these leaves is? And also let the late generation have a long look!” Han Li still couldn’t help but ask.
”Hehe, does Fellow Daoist Han still have some bamboo leaves left in his hands? Don’t worry, these leaves are enough for me to use. I won’t be hitting on this part that you left behind. Few people in the Human Race know about it, but it’s something everyone knows in the Chang Yuan Race, so it’s okay to tell you. These Golden Thunder Bamboo leaves have two uses, one can be used to refine a kind of divine thunder called Golden Gang Demon Destroying Thunder, in dealing with demons, the power is still above the Evil-Preventing Divine Thunder. It is a powerful weapon for those of us who have entered the Mahayana stage to deal with extra-terrestrial heavenly devils. Another use, is that this bamboo leaves can make some spirit insects to eat, and have a high chance of producing mutation. Of course this requires devouring a considerable amount of Golden Thunder Bamboo leaves to do so.” The old man was unconcerned at this point and told Han Li everything.
”Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon? What is this?” Han Li was a bit puzzled.
”How can I put it, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Devil is somewhat similar to our cultivator’s thunder tribulation. It’s just that Spirit World cultivators’ thunder tribulations are basically fixed every so often, and the Extra-terrestrial Heavenly Devils are a type of demonic attack that every cultivator who enters the Mahayana may suffer at any time. They are formless and colorless, similar to heart demons, but a hundred times more powerful than heart demons. Generally speaking, these heavenly devils are most likely to appear when our Mahayana cultivator’s mana is weakened or our mind is unstable. Once we fail to resist them, our physical body will collapse, and under the defilement of our Yuan Shen Essence Soul, we will also become one of the Heavenly Demons. I want the Golden Thunder Bamboo leaves just to prepare to refine some Golden Gang Demon Destroying Thunder so that I can guard against the harassment of the Heavenly Demons after I’m done with the tribulation.” The old man was in a good mood after accomplishing two wishes in one day, and spoke so many words in one breath.
Han Li’s face flashed with a thoughtful look, especially when he heard that the Golden Thunder Bamboo leaves could have a mutating effect on Spirit Insects, his heart was even more moved.
”By the way, does Fellow Daoist Han intend to stay here for a long time?” The old man suddenly stopped transmitting his voice and asked in normal words.
”This place is too heavy with Yin Qi, it’s not suitable for latecomers to cultivate for a long time. And there are still some things that need to be dealt with outside, so I can’t stay here much longer either.” After Han Li hesitated for a moment, he replied truthfully.
Upon hearing Han Li’s words, Yuan Yao’s face blanched, but it instantly returned to normal.
Aside from Yeon Li, who was right next to her, no one else noticed this woman’s strange look.
As for Yeon Li, her gaze flickered and a strange expression appeared at the corner of her mouth, but it was likewise immediately concealed.
”Oh, if that’s the case. Can you find a way to leave this space.” The old man surnamed Jiang looked at Han Li, revealing an expression that seemed like a smile.
”Late generation has yet to find it!” Han Li touched his nose and said awkwardly.
”Haha, then you don’t need to find it. Entering this space may be beyond my ability, but there is still a way to do so if you leave. Otherwise, how could I feel comfortable residing in this Mayfly Clan’s holy land. In a few days, I will personally cast a spell to send you away.” The old man hemmed and hawed with a smile.
”Many thanks, senior!” Han Li was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him under his breath.
”Don’t you remember to thank first, the old man so do the same is not free, but also and you in addition to do a deal.” Han Li face joy has not yet disappeared, the old man’s words again voice.
”Do another deal!” Han Li was dumbfounded.
”Are you interested in that Styx River Divine Milk?” The old man asked with a condensed voice.
”Senior has divine milk and wants to trade with this?” Han Li was startled and genuinely surprised.
”The old man has resided in the land of the River Styx for such a long time, if he is unable to even get some of this divine milk, it is still a matter of jokes.” The old man laughed coldly, unimpressed.
”Do the people of the Mayfly Clan know about this then? Isn’t the Divine Milk guarded by two Stygian Thunder Beasts?” Han Li asked in disbelief.
”Can a mere two Stygian Thunder Beasts really leave Old Husband helpless. Old me has my own means to avoid their ears and eyes to take the divine milk. Moreover, I don’t take much each time, so even if they know about it, would they dare to really seek out old me for a theory?” The old man surnamed Jiang said proudly.
”Divine Milk, senior definitely wants it! But there really isn’t anything on the late generation that can enter the eyes of the senior!” Han Li was stunned for a while before saying as if in a difficult situation.
”When did the old man say that he would ask you for something now.” The old man transmitted his voice somewhat eerily.
”What does senior mean ……,” Han Li’s expression was moved.
”It’s very simple, I can’t leave this space in order to delay the next Heavenly Tribulation from descending, but on the contrary, I need some extremely important things. As long as you help me collect them all outside and then send them in to me within a thousand years. I will then exchange a bottle of Styx Divine Milk with you. What do you think of this deal, Fellow Daoist Han?” The old man asked.
”Can senior let the late generation see what to collect first before saying so!” Han Li didn’t agree with his mouth full, but asked cautiously.
Seeing Han Li’s cautious attitude, the ginger old man instead revealed a look of satisfaction.
Without saying a word, his sleeve robe shook, and another green-colored jade slip shot out.
Han Li grabbed this jade slip with one hand and immersed his mind into it.
After only a moment, his face clouded over.
After a moment more, Han Li pulled his mind out of the jade slip and bowed his head in contemplation for a while before raising his head to give the old man a reluctant smile, ”Senior, although the things in your jade slip aren’t much, I know or have heard of but only one or two out of ten. But on these know, is not a rare and unusual things, without a little chance, even see on the blessing of a see are not. Senior is also too high on the late generation.”
”Does Fellow Daoist Han think that Styx River Divine Milk is an ordinary spirit liquid? It’s a spiritual object that all Harmonized Cultivators dream of and want to obtain even at the risk of falling. Besides, I didn’t say that I must ask you to collect everything on the list. As long as you can find two-thirds of it and then return to this place, I’ll exchange the divine milk with you.” The old man said calmly.
”Two thirds? If that’s the case, it’s not without hope to do so!” Han Li murmured under further thought.
”In that case, Fellow Daoist Han is agreeing to this deal. If that’s the case, the matter of me sending you away from the Land of the Styx is considered a deposit I paid in advance.”
”Can the late generation not agree?” Han Li touched his nose and said with a bitter smile.
”Two days later, I will send fellow Daoist out of the Land of the Styx!” The old man’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said with a sprightly smile.
