Chapter 2074 – Counter Calculation
On a certain day two months later, in a certain temporary cave residence outside the city, Han Li once again gathered with the Long Family Ancestor and the Thousand Autumn Sacred Maiden.
They looked at the last cloaked man in front of them who had managed to arrive before the agreed upon time limit, and their expressions varied.
This Lin Clan’s Conformity Cultivator now had gray hair, withered skin, and what was originally supposed to be a middle-aged man in the prime of his life had now become as old as a seventy or eighty year old man.
More fatal is, cloaked man an eye also disappeared.
Looking at the empty look in his eye socket, it was as if the entire eye had been dug out.
And the Lin Family’s body breath, compared to before, was less than a third of what it was in its heyday, and it also vaguely gave off a very decaying and strange feeling.
”Fellow Daoist Lin, how did you become like this!” After a cadre of people were surprised, the Lin Family’s old ancestor finally spoke up with a heavy voice.
”I’m ashamed to say that I encountered a group of Soul Regenerating Beasts in the wasteland, and I was accidentally sucked by them for most of my essence. Luckily, I was able to barely escape by blowing up several supreme treasures that I was carrying with me.” The Lin Family man coughed lightly a few times and said with a bitter face, his voice also becoming hoarse and unusually hard to hear.
”Soul Regenerating Beast? This beast’s rank isn’t too high, how could it force Brother Lin into such a state!” The Thousand Autumn Sacred Maiden asked in surprise.
”If it was an ordinary Soul Regenerating Beast, how would Mister Lin be afraid of it. But if it’s a mutated Harmonization level Soul Regenerating Beast, it’s a different story.” The corner of the Lin family man’s eyes twitched twice before he slowly returned.
”Mutated Soul Regenerating Beast!” The group of people couldn’t help but change their faces slightly when they heard this.
”Not bad, this beast was hiding in the beasts at first, disguised as ordinary soul regenerating beasts, that’s why I was off guard and was sneak attacked by it. Otherwise, even if Mister Lin was no better, he wouldn’t have ended up like this.” The Lin family man’s face grew a few shades uglier as he recalled the situation that day.
”It’s unfortunate that fellow Daoist Lin encountered this calamity. But I don’t know what the following plans are?” The Long Clan’s old ancestor’s face shifted gloomily for a while before he asked with a condensed expression.
”I’ve lost too much essence now, my mana is less than two or three tenths of my original strength, it’s not very realistic to enter the Illusory Tsunami Desert again, I must return to the Spirit Realm right away and shut up for a few hundred years before I can drudgily cultivate my cultivation back again. Therefore, I don’t intend to seek those two kinds of heaven and earth spirits. After resting here for a moment or two, I will cast a spell to stimulate my potential to return to the Spirit Realm on the same route.” The cloaked man’s gaze flickered and wavered for a while before he said unwillingly.
”Good thing too, with Fellow Daoist Lin’s current state, there is indeed a possibility of falling if you continue to risk your life. How about this. A few of us will stay here for one more month, so that you, Daoist, can recuperate a bit more before proceeding with the following plan.” The Long Clan’s old ancestor did not show an unexpected expression, and seemed to have expected it as he said.
”It can only be so. Our Spirit Clan has no opinion on this, so feel free to recuperate here first, Fellow Daoist Lin.” The Thousand Autumn Sacred Maiden was silent for a moment and nodded her head as well.
On the contrary, Daoist Hui and the feather-clothed maiden couldn’t help but look at each other, vaguely revealing a hint of a rabbit’s death.
After all, one of the human cultivators present, they have also been injured in the body, a cultivation far inferior to Han Li and the Long family ancestor, perhaps the next person forced to withdraw, is one of the two.
However, the two are also cultivated for many years of existence, this thought is just a flash of color on the return to normal.
After hearing this, Han Li’s complexion moved slightly, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly rushed at the cloaked man and said, “There is an elixir in my hand that may be of some benefit to your friend’s situation at this time, so you may wish to take it, friend Lin.”
The words just fell, his sleeve at the cloaked man a shake, immediately a few inches high white jade bottle from a fly out.
The Lin Family’s conjoined cultivator was stunned at the words, and subconsciously raised his hand to take the vial, looking at Han Li with a puzzled look.
It was no wonder!
Although Han Li had traveled with them for some time, there hadn’t been much contact between the two, let alone any friendship. Now that he had suddenly given him a bottle of elixir, it naturally filled the cloaked man’s heart with suspicion.
The Lin family cultivator slightly pondered, will be in the hands of the vial lid hit and open, thick medicinal aroma at once filled the entire room.
Everyone could not help but be energized by it!
The cloaked man hurriedly sent the mouth of the bottle under his nose and sniffed a few times. Immediately face a trace of joy, and then will be a small bottle of a flip to the palm of the hand to pour.
As a result, an elixir with emerald green spiritual patterns all over its surface rolled out from it, resting steadily in the palm of his hand.
”Essence Quenching Pill, this is Essence Quenching Pill!” Cloaked man saw the pill appearance, the heart no longer have any hesitation, immediately lost his voice outside the mouth, face full of ecstasy to.
This pill is not only rare, the most important thing is, just on his current situation is very useful, enough to make up for the small half of the essence of the loss, so that it does not have to worry about the injuries after the good, there is still a great reduction in the risk of cultivation.
When the Long Family’s old ancestor, the Thousand Autumn Virgin and the others saw this Essence Quenching Pill, they couldn’t help but be a little moved as well.
This kind of elixir was similarly unattainable for late stage Harmonization old monsters like them! If it weren’t for the situation at hand, both of them might have moved to think otherwise.
”Fellow Daoist Han, this elixir is indeed of great use to Mister Lin. However, if you don’t get anything for nothing, what is the purpose of Brother Han doing this, so let’s just say it straight.” Although the cloaked-haired man was unusually excited in his heart, he calmed down shortly afterward and transmitted his voice to Han Li with a movement of his lips.
The corners of Han Li’s mouth curled slightly, and after letting out a light smile, he similarly transmitted his voice over, “Since Fellow Daoist Lin has said so, Mister Han will also be straightforward. I really do have a matter that I would like to ask Brother Lin for a favor, I wonder if I would be willing to help with this small favor?”
”Brother Han has taken out the Essence Quenching Pill, will he still allow me to refuse? Feel free to ask, as long as I can do it, I’ll never push back.” The cloaked-haired man thought about it for a moment before returning with a heartfelt reply.
”Brother Lin doesn’t need to speak with such gnashing of teeth, what I’m asking you, Dao Friend, to help me with is just a small favor along the way. I recently saved a little girl of our human race in the city. This little girl and I have some affinity, and I hope that when you return to the Spirit Realm, you can help me bring her along for a moment or two, and look after her for a while longer before I return to the Spirit Realm to claim her. After all, the journey below is just too dangerous for me to bring that little girl along for the ride. This is a matter that you, Dao Friend, should easily be able to do.” Han Li didn’t move as he transmitted his voice.
”It’s just that simple, if that’s the case, there’s naturally no problem. Mister Lin can assure you that as long as I can return to the Spirit Realm safely, the person entrusted by Brother Han will also be safe and sound.” The cloaked-haired man was a bit surprised, but agreed in a single breath without hesitation.
”Good, then Mister Han can also rest assured.” Han Li nodded his head indifferently and immediately said nothing more.
As for the cloaked man, once his scruples were gone, he only hesitated briefly before immediately tossing the pill in his hand into his mouth and swallowing it.
To his current situation, the sooner he serves this quenching Dan, the more can reduce the possibility of a point of cultivation decline, natural moment are unwilling to delay.
On the side of the Long family ancestor and other people, have long seen the two in the voice discussion what things, but all of them have the good sense not to disturb what.
They are very clear in their hearts, Han Li will not take out this kind of precious pills for nothing, surely the Lin family cultivators have something to ask for.
However, this matter was between the two, and it was naturally not good for the onlookers to pry or anything.
Cloaked man things have been resolved, the following is naturally discussing the matter of the eight-legged demon lizard.
With a calm demeanor, the Long family’s old ancestor roughly described the circumstances of his contact with the Zhao family during this period of time.
The Thousand Autumn Saintess, the feather-clothed maiden, and the others couldn’t help but frown after hearing this.
”In that case, the Zhao Family really opened their mouths wide, an Eight-Footed Demon Lizard dared to quote such an outrageous price. Ten thousand year old Purple Blood Ganoderma and the Heart of Ice Crystal, what kind of materials that are hard to find in one realm, how dare they propose it to Brother Long? I’m afraid the Zhao Family doesn’t have the slightest bit of sincerity in exchange!” The Thousand Autumn Sacred Maiden’s jade face turned cold as ice all of a sudden.
”I see that the Zhao Family doesn’t just have no intention of trading!” Han Li, however, faintly interjected.
”Oh, what does Brother Han mean by his words?” The feather-clothed girl’s complexion twitched.
Han Li, however, smiled without saying anything.
”I’m afraid that the Zhao Family not only didn’t want to give the old man the Eight-Footed Demon Lizard, but instead wanted to beat up on this bit of my family. After all, my earlier offer was enough to draw some movement from the Zhao Family’s two Demon Zun old ghosts.” This time, the Long Clan’s old ancestor took the initiative to interface, but with a sneer on his face.
”It looks like Brother Long already had a plan in mind a long time ago.” The Thousand Autumn Sacred Maiden sniffed and laughed lightly.
”Not bad. Since the Zhao Family is unwilling to exchange the Eight-footed Demon Lizard, the other three families probably won’t trade either, so why don’t we just use this as a plan, while the two Demon Elders of the Zhao Family are plotting against the old man, I’ll lure them away, and the others will infiltrate into the Zhao Family and steal the Eight-footed Demon Lizard straight out, and then go into the Illusory Tsunami Desert in the middle of the night.” The Long Family’s old ancestor spoke with a hint of fury on his face.
”Wonderful. If the Zhao Family doesn’t have a Demon Elder sitting in their midst, no one else will be able to stop us. But the place where the Zhao Family keeps the Eight-Footed Demon Lizard, has Brother Long already found it?” The feather-clothed girl said with great joy.
”Hehehe, Mister Long hasn’t been busy in the city these days for nothing, so naturally I’ve already confirmed it. The Zhao Family has placed the Eight-Footed Demon Lizard in two places, one of which is the Zhao Family’s forbidden land, which is full of legal formations and prohibitions, so even if there’s no Demon Elder sitting in the middle of it, it’s not too good to start. The other place is a temporary place to house the Demon Lizard. I found out that the Zhao family will have a few lizards returning from the outside in half a month, and according to the usual practice, they will temporarily stay there for a few days. And this is the perfect opportunity for us to strike. Brother Han already has two devil lizards, so we just need to seize these devil lizards, and I think that should be enough. But there’s one thing that all of you Daoists should pay attention to.
It’s fine to make a move, but try not to make a big kill, and don’t expose your cultivation and true colors. Otherwise, in case we attract the attention of other demonic powerhouses in the nearby region, we will be in trouble. After all, we need to traverse the entire Illusory Whistling Desert, whereas those Demon Race powerhouses can directly intercept us at the other end of the Illusory Whistling Desert through other local teleportation arrays.” The Long Clan’s old ancestor spoke in a sophisticated manner.
