Chapter 1113: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 1109 Dark Water and Profound Jade Chapter 1113: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 1109 Dark Water and Profound Jade “` Han Li did not immediately collect the two tufts of Celestial Ice Flame; instead, he tilted his head and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, a brilliant light flashed in his eyes.

He glanced over his shoulder at the Five Sons Demon and then at the two tufts of Celestial Ice Flame below.

He seemed to realize something and burst out laughing.

The laughter echoed through the cave, buzzing non-stop.

“Excellent!

It seems this trip was indeed not in vain!” Han Li’s laughter ceased as he murmured to himself.

He beckoned with both hands towards the void below, and the two tufts of Celestial Ice Flame were lifted by an invisible force, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Amidst the rumblings of thunder, Han Li released countless thin golden arcs, restraining both tufts of Celestial Ice Flame into golden thread balls and storing them in the Profound Ice Box.

After all this was done, Han Li shook his sleeve, releasing the black jade bottle and began chanting a spell incantation, intending to reseal the Five Sons Demon into the bottle.

The Five Devils seemed to be aware of Han Li’s plan, and hesitated sluggishly, unwilling to return to the bottle.

Han Li’s expression darkened, and with a stern shout, he pointed his finger, causing the Silverstar Hoop on the Five Devils to tremble and emit azure streaks.

The Five Devils had suffered more than once from these rings.

Seeing this, they did not dare to disobey Han Li’s order any longer and immediately let out wailing noises.

In the blink of an eye, they transformed into five wisps of grayish-white vapor and shot into the bottle.

Only then did Han Li roll up his sleeve, pulling the small bottle back and carefully storing it away.

As for the Humanoid Puppet beside him, Han Li had no intention of putting it away.

Instead, he took out a piece of emerald green high-grade spirit stone from the storage pouch and slapped it onto the puppet, replacing another spirit stone that was almost depleted.

As long as the puppet was not in full combat mode, its consumption of spirit stones was negligible.

Han Li moved, landing lightly and coming to stand before a large rock in the pile of rubble.

The surface of this rock exposed larger grains of Ten Thousand Year Profound Jade, emitting a faint white glow.

Raising an eyebrow, Han Li swept his hand over his storage pouch, and a long-necked bottle appeared in his palm.

With a flick towards the bottle, the lid flew off on its own.

With a slight tilt, a large blob of pitch-black liquid, as thick as ink and emitting waves of gray mist, poured out-indistinguishable from the Yin Spirit Water Bai Mengxin had used to extract the Ten Thousand Year Profound Jade.

This liquid was the “dark water” Han Li had brought back from the Ghost Mist Yin-Ming Land when he had deviated from his course.

At the time, finding this water somewhat unusual, he carried away a decent amount in various containers.

Later, when he had free time, he specifically studied this water.

But apart from discovering that it could temporarily endow Magic Artifacts with a bit of Yin fire, he found no other special uses for it and thus put it aside in his storage pouch.

Now, having descended into the Mystic Jade Cave and witnessed Bai Mengxin’s extraction method, he was astonishingly struck by the realization that this so-called “Yin Spirit Water” was exactly the same as the “dark water.” In front of Sect Master Han Li and the others, although he didn’t rashly verify the true differences between the two using his spiritual sense, his heart was stirred, and he was mostly confident that the two were the same thing.

After all, the name “dark water” was just coined by the monk who had stumbled into the Umbra Realm; both liquids were similarly Yin and cold, and they looked so alike.

Now that Han Li was the only one left in the entire Mystic Jade Cave, he naturally wanted to test it out.

Pointing at the blob of black liquid, it wavered and then slowly flew above the rock, trembling slightly before a small drop fell, vanishing into the white glow below in the blink of an eye.

Indeed, everything was identical to the scene when Bai Mengxin extracted the jade.

The black liquid flashed and vanished into the Profound Jade, simultaneously covered by a layer of gray mist.

Han Li was pleased.

With a flick at the Profound Jade, a peas-sized azure light shot out, striking the Profound Jade.

With a soft “plop,” the Profound Jade shook slightly and detached itself from the rock, being drawn into his hand.

He examined the Profound Jade in his hand with rapt attention and then swept his gaze over all the remaining veins in the cave that were emitting white light.

The corners of his mouth curled into a slight smile.

Although with the amount of “dark water” he had brought, to deplete the entire cave was naturally impossible, it was absolutely no problem to take away nearly all the half-exposed Profound Jade.

Thinking thus, Han Li slapped his storage pouch again, and another similarly shaped long-necked bottle appeared in his hand.

He casually tossed it to the Humanoid Puppet beside him.

Without a word, the puppet caught the jade bottle, flickering a few times before appearing at another spot in the cave.

With one hand holding the bottle to deploy “dark water,” and the other holding a storage pouch, it began to harvest the Profound Jade.

Han Li was doing the same on his side.

As time passed, several hours later, the cold qi of the Profound Jade that filled the cave had subtly thinned out.

The white spots that were once throughout the cave had scattered, with more than two-thirds gone.

When Han Li dropped the last drop of dark water onto a piece of Profound Jade and collected it into his storage pouch, he exhaled deeply, but after looking around, a hint of regret flashed across his face.

If he had known from the start that this “dark water” had such a unique effect, he certainly would not have only brought this much Yin Spirit Water out.

“` “` However, even so, the amount of Ten Thousand Year Profound Jade he had collected was truly a jaw-dropping quantity.

Among the various sizes of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Jade he had removed, there were over a thousand pieces.

It was a pity that for some larger pieces of Profound Jade, the amount of Yin Spirit Water required was not merely a single drop.

Otherwise, the number he could have collected would have been even greater.

As he was pondering this, the Humanoid Puppet suddenly swayed and drifted towards him, then with a lift of its hand, tossed the bulging storage pouch directly to him.

Han Li reached out to catch the item and casually scanned it with his spiritual sense.

Indeed, there were about a thousand pieces inside as well.

With so many Profound Jades at hand, Han Li began to consider, aside from incorporating them into the seventy-two Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, what other wondrous treasures they could craft, or if they could be added to other existing treasures to enhance their power.

But even if Han Li were to do so, he could not possibly use up all the Profound Jade.

For the vast majority of leftovers, he would still need to rely on their cold Qi to refine and purify his Extreme Cold Flame.

After all, with the aid of this Mystic Jade Cold Qi, the refinement of the Celestial Ice Flame should be twice as effective with half the effort.

Han Li didn’t dwell on these thoughts and with a flip of his mind, he set them aside for now.

Stowing away the storage pouch, he raised his head again to look at the Fire Raven formed from the True Fire of Taiyin in the high sky.

The raven’s body had grown to five or six times its original size, about the size of a human head.

The Qilin Illusion that was previously shapeless had now been reduced to a thin layer of white vapor enveloping the Fire Raven, and the Mystic Jade Token was being toyed with in the raven’s mouth, being tossed up and down ceaselessly.

Seeing this, Han Li was taken aback but then showed a wry smile, hurriedly stretched out his hand towards the sky to beckon.

Immediately, the Mystic Jade Token left the raven’s mouth and flew straight towards him, landing in his hand.

Without the support of the Mystic Jade Token, the remaining white vapor dispersed in an instant, giving off an aura of imminent disappearance.

Seeing this, the Fire Raven let out a low cry and with a flick of its wings and a ‘puchi’ sound, its entire body turned into a blaze of red flame, rolling over the residual white vapor and engulfing what little remained before absorbing it all into its body.

After doing all this, the flames once again took the form of the Fire Raven.

It circled excitedly in the air before slowly landing on Han Li’s shoulder, and with a tilt of its head, used its sharp beak to preen its fiery-red feathers, which now appeared even more dazzling.

Han Li turned to look at the Fire Raven, a hint of surprise on his face.

This True Fire of Taiyin seemed to have grown significantly more sentient than before.

He lowered his head to look at the Mystic Jade Token in his hand and seemed to think of something.

With a sweep of his other hand through the air, a wisp of Mystic Jade Cold Qi landed in his grasp and was gently enveloped by the Purple Apex Flames.

With a flash of blue light in his eyes, Han Li clearly saw the cold glow in the violet flame becoming loose and unstructured, no longer the silky solid form he had seen before, and now indistinguishable from ordinary cold Qi.

Han Li came to a realization, evaluated the Mystic Jade Token in his hand, and with an impressed click of his tongue, stored the treasure in his storage pouch.

After searching the entire Mystic Jade Cave one last time and confirming there was nothing further to harvest, he took the Humanoid Puppet and the Fire Raven with him, transforming into an azure streak as they fled towards the entrance.

The entrance, naturally, appeared strictly sealed and intact.

Han Li looked at the flashing, mysterious runes at the entrance and, without another word, flicked his sleeve.

Immediately, a small Celestial Ice Cauldron shot out from his sleeve and began spinning before coming to a halt, suspended in the air before him.

If it were another Sect Master, they would truly find it impossible to operate this cauldron, as it was evident that only those who had cultivated the Celestial Ice Flame could manipulate it.

This was probably why the monk of yore felt at ease entrusting one to a monk.

But this posed no challenge for Han Li.

He glanced indifferently at the cauldron, pinched a spell incantation with both hands, and the Purple Apex Flames that had been perpetually present on him suddenly trembled and began to change color dramatically.

In the blink of an eye, his purple flame transformed into a pale blue color, completely converting into the Celestial Ice Flame.

With a flash of blue light from his hand, he pointed gently towards the small cauldron, and immediately a wisp of blue flame, like a spirit snake, shot out and struck the cauldron precisely.

Instantly, the Celestial Ice Cauldron trembled emitting a humming sound, and countless strands of blue flame emerged from within.

As the cauldron radiated blue light, it began to swell in size drastically.

Han Li continued to manipulate the cauldron with spell incantations, and as it grew to a size of thirty to forty feet, he changed the spell and simultaneously let out a low shout.

With a ‘rumble,’ the Giant Cauldron shot straight into the sky, seemingly intent on breaking through the entrance itself.

However, no change of expression crossed Han Li’s face.

Sure enough, as the Giant Cauldron came within thirty to forty feet of the entrance, mysterious runes at the entrance began to flash vibrantly, and colorful rays of light emanated from the entrance.

The runes then appeared to be drawn to the Giant Cauldron and turned into numerous rays of light, directly entering the blue flame encapsulating the Giant Cauldron.

With a ‘rumble,’ the entrance slowly cracked open, revealing a gap several dozen feet in length.
