Chapter 1130: Volume 7 Across the Human World Chapter 1126 Yellow Sand Sect
 

Now that Han Li had parted ways with the Ice Phoenix, he collected the Heavenvoid Cauldron and flew toward the island.

Naturally, he had no intention of troubling the cultivators on the island. He merely wanted to ascertain his location and understand the situation in the Scattered Stars Sea. Only after that would he consider how to return to the vicinity of Stalwart Stars Island and find the ancient teleportation formation from the other day.

The middle-aged man before him came forward to greet him, and he did so with such enthusiasm that it was somewhat beyond Han Li’s expectations. However, it fit well with his own intentions, so he did not decline and casually agreed to the invitation.

With his current divine abilities, he no longer feared that ordinary cultivators might harbor any other thoughts towards him.

Seeing that Han Li agreed without hesitation, the middle-aged man surnamed Gan was both surprised and delighted. He hurriedly sent a Sound Transmission Talisman back to the three juniors before politely leading Han Li toward the center of the island.

At this moment, after inquiring a bit about the nearby waters, Han Li learned that the island ahead was called Kumen Island, a rather large island with several cities built for ordinary mortals to live in, exclusively occupied by the Yellow Sand Sect.

Furthermore, hundreds of thousands of miles north of Kumen Island was one of the twelve Inner Star Islands, Gui Star Island.

Hearing this, a thought crossed Han Li’s mind.

He still clearly remembered the map of the Scattered Stars Sea area from years ago, thanks to his extraordinary memory. If he wasn’t mistaken, his current location was not too far from Heavenly Star City, although it was quite a distance from Stalwart Stars Island, and he would have to pass by Heavenly Star City on the way there.

Speaking of which, the number of demon beasts in the Scattered Stars Sea was far greater than in Tian Luo and Great Jin. However, Han Li currently had no interest in demon cores of low-grade demon beasts.

Grade eight and above demon-transformed beasts had already developed their spirituality and could not be lured with Rainbow Skirt Grass.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t mind making another trip to the Outer Star Seas.

While thinking this, Han Li was led by the middle-aged cultivator, flying over the port from above and delving deep into the island for thousands of miles, until they reached a beautiful and picturesque mountain overflowing with dense spiritual energy.

Atop this mountain peak, a group of palatial palaces and towering halls stood magnificently, and several unknown but gorgeous spiritual birds circled and danced in the skies above the mountain, creating a setting akin to a mystical, celestial realm.

“Fellow Daoist Gan, your sect truly is exceptionally prosperous!” Seeing this scene, Han Li said to the middle-aged cultivator with a faint smile.

“Haha, Fellow Daoist Han is being too kind. This is all the doing of the younger generation’s wanton actions,” the middle-aged man surnamed Gan said with a wry smile.

After all, for a Nascent Soul cultivator, such artificially created false sceneries were a bit unworthy of notice.

Han Li smiled again but said nothing more. However, before the two could land, sounds of celestial music emanated from the mountaintop. Two groups of beautiful female cultivators dressed in palace costumes approached them from below, led by the three Core Formation Stage male and female cultivators. At this moment, their gazes towards Han Li were naturally filled with profound respect and awe.

Han Li gave a wry smile and landed without ceremony.

He was led into a large hall on the mountaintop. The interior was not as eye-catching as the exterior and was rather serene.

After the middle-aged man surnamed Gan and Han Li had taken their seats as host and guest, the other three could only stand by the side.

Without any hesitation, Han Li directly started to inquire about the recent situation in the Scattered Stars Sea.

Although Fellow Daoist Gan found it curious, he treated Han Li as if he were a revered expert who had been in seclusion for many years and shared everything he knew.

Digesting the news that the Scattered Stars Sea was even more chaotic than when he had left, Han Li couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

“The place from where Fellow Daoist Han just emerged, could it be the legendary Void Spirit Hall? How did you manage to come out from there?” After contemplating for quite a while and seeing that Han Li wasn’t the kind of person to act violently on impulse, Fellow Daoist Gan finally couldn’t restrain his curiosity and asked.

After all, he had witnessed with his own eyes Han Li teleporting out from that grand hall.

Hearing this, Han Li’s expression shifted slightly as he recovered from his contemplation.

“Fellow Daoist Gan truly has a broad range of knowledge to recognize the Void Spirit Hall at a glance. It’s nothing serious. I was just trapped inside for a time and have only just freed myself,” Han Li responded lightly.

“Is that so? But what about the Celestial Ni Chang who was with you…” The middle-aged man surnamed Gan saw that Han Li was reluctant to elaborate, so he didn’t dare to pry any further and steered the topic towards the Ice Phoenix.

“She is a friend who was trapped in the hall with me. She has urgent matters to attend to, so she left first,” Han Li replied indifferently.

“I see! Could it be that this Celestial Ni Chang, like Fellow Daoist Han, is a late-stage cultivator?” The middle-aged man asked cautiously.

“Hehe, that fellow Daoist had already reached the late stages a long time ago. Han is far from comparable,” Han Li glanced at the middle-aged man and chuckled.

Fellow Daoist Gan naturally felt a chill in his heart and tried to recall the female cultivators of renown in the Scattered Stars Sea, but he couldn’t link any of them with the image of the silver-robed woman.

As for Han Li, his appearance was so ordinary that he had no clue whatsoever.

However, this was not surprising, as there were some ascetics with great divine powers who might not appear in the world even once in five or six hundred years, which was quite common.

“Fellow Daoist Gan, I am in urgent need of a batch of mid-grade spirit stones and materials, and of course, it would be best if there are high-grade spirit stones. I happen to have two treasures that I don’t need, which can be used for the exchange,” Han Li suddenly said. Then, with a sweep of his sleeve toward the wooden table beside him, after a whirl of blue light, two items—one silver and one yellow—appeared on the table.

These were a silver ring and a yellow ancient halberd!

They were ancient treasures that he had casually put into his storage pouch after slaying several high-grade demon beasts in the Void Spirit Hall.

For Han Li, such treasures of this rank were naturally dispensable, but in a place like Scattered Stars Sea where artifact refining materials and treasures were scarce, they aroused considerable envy.

Moreover, just by the spiritual power they emitted, it was evident that these two treasures were considered high-tier even among ancient treasures.

“You are too polite, Brother Han. Mid-grade spirit stones and materials are easy to talk about; our sect has quite a few of them stored, and even if some materials are lacking, they can be collected from the city market on the island. It’s just that there are not many high-grade spirit stones on this island, only seven or eight. If Brother Han needs them, feel free to exchange for them,” said the middle-aged man surnamed Gan, scanning the two ancient treasures with a burning gaze. He showed no surprise that Han Li could so easily bring out such precious items and readily agreed.

“Seven or eight high-grade spirit stones!” Han Li was startled, with a trace of strangeness on his face.

As far as he knew, the scarcity of spirit stones in Scattered Stars Sea was even more severe than in Great Jin and Tian Luo, so how could a mere Yellow Sand Sect possess so many high-grade spirit stones!

Seeing the contemplative look on Han Li’s face, the middle-aged man surnamed Gan was at first taken aback, then he seemed to remember something, and a look of realization dawned on him.

“Haha, this is my fault. I forgot to mention this to Fellow Daoist Han. Actually, more than a hundred years ago, a very large spirit stone mine was discovered on an isolated island in the Outer Star Seas. It contained a large number of high-grade spirit stones, so although high-grade spirit stones are still rare, the situation has improved compared to previous years. Almost every sect has made a point of storing some,” explained the Great Elder of Yellow Sand Sect.

“A high-grade spirit stone mine! To find such a vein in the human world!” Han Li was moved.

“Exactly. At first, others thought it was a false rumor. But when the Star Palace and the Starfall Coalition made significant moves for that island, only then did they realize the news was true. It is said that even high-grade demon beasts from the Outer Star Seas were disturbed by this vein and participated in the dispute over it. As a result, many cultivators and demon beasts fell. Now the mine is divided among these three parties, and the conflict has temporarily ceased!” the Great Elder of Yellow Sand Sect continued.

Han Li nodded without saying anything for a while.

For him, this was good news since the Humanoid Puppet he had been employing had nearly exhausted its high-grade spirit stones after a few uses. It was the perfect opportunity to collect some more.

Fortunately, this sea area was not far from Heavenly Star City, and it was on his way. He could use the Star Palace Teleportation Array to go directly to the mining area. It probably wouldn’t take much time.

Han Li quickly made up his mind!

Without further ado, he took out a jade slip from his storage pouch at his waist and copied the list of needed materials into it.

The Great Elder of Yellow Sand Sect immediately gave a few instructions, and the large yellow-robed man took the jade slip and immediately went to handle the matter.

After that, Han Li naturally started chatting with the Great Elder of Yellow Sand Sect.

With the other party’s deliberate flattery, Han Li maintained a casually smiling demeanor.

Naturally, the middle-aged man surnamed Gan did not miss the rare opportunity to ask Han Li some cultivation-related questions.

Although Han Li had only recently advanced to the Nascent Soul Deity Transformation stage, he had read many cultivation techniques and scriptures and had practiced some of the peculiar secret techniques from both the righteous and demonic paths. So, with a few simple answers, he truly inspired the middle-aged man, who consequently became even more respectful toward Han Li.

As for the green-robed old man and enchanting woman who had been standing by, they also pricked up their ears, listening intently to the conversation between the two, seeing it as a rare opportunity.

Several hours later, a streak of light flew in, and the large man, looking worn from travel, materialized, holding a bulging storage pouch in his hand.

“Elder, the materials you requested have been mostly gathered in accordance with the list, except for a few that are not found on the island. The several high-grade spirit stones have also been placed inside,” he said.

The large man stepped forward and presented the storage pouch to Han Li.

Han Li casually accepted the storage pouch, swept inside with his Divine Sense and saw everything contained within. He immediately showed a satisfied expression.

“I have other matters to attend to and shall not stay here any longer. I take my leave now!” Han Li stored the storage pouch away, nodded slightly toward the middle-aged cultivator opposite him, and without any interest in talking further with the cultivators of Yellow Sand Sect, he transformed into a blinding green rainbow and left the hall, vanishing into the sky in an instant.

“That elder has finally gone! I thought that our Yellow Sand Sect might encounter a huge problem this time! This Elder Han, he seems quite reasonable!” As soon as Han Li’s light faded from the hall, the enchanting woman immediately let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly patting her chest, she expressed her feelings of having narrowly escaped a predicament.
