The white-haired old woman glanced at the golden light shield, and a trace of surprise flashed in the depths of her eyes. She nodded imperceptibly.
The old man did not say anything, but his eyes kept scanning the living corpse through the golden light shield. No one knew what he was thinking.
Luo Qinghai's eyes flickered, and his figure shot out and landed in front of the golden light shield.
"Palace Lord Luo, what are you trying to do?" The old man's expression changed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice.
"What am I trying to do?
There are so many Taiyi Pills in this corpse. Do you want to keep them for yourself? "Luo Qinghai sneered, and his body shone with blue light.
The old man's expression changed, and a blood-red light flashed on his body. He was about to do something.
"It doesn't matter." The white-haired old woman stretched out her hand to stop the old man, and said calmly.
"But …" The old man frowned, and finally let go.
A layer of flame-like blue light appeared on Luo Qinghai's body, emitting a powerful Taiyi aura. He waved his hand.
Rumble!
A dazzling blue light flashed in front of him, and the blue staff shadow appeared again. It emitted a terrifying aura, and hit the golden light shield.
Rumble!
The entire hall shook again, and the golden light shield trembled violently, but it quickly recovered.
Luo Qinghai's expression darkened when he saw this.
The rest of the people present were shocked, and no one spoke for a while.
The hall returned to silence, and only the sound of the white flame burning under the emerald green cauldron could be heard.
"Brother Li, what's going on with the Soul Cultivating Cauldron and the remnant soul?" Taoist Huyan walked to Han Li's side and asked.
The white-haired old woman and the old man trembled slightly when they heard this, and immediately turned to look at Han Li.
Luo Qinghai and the others also looked at Han Li.
Han Li saw everyone's reaction, and he pondered for a moment, and said, "I found that cauldron in a relic. It looked a little special, so I brought it with me. I didn't expect it to contain a remnant soul."
His words were obviously not entirely true, but Taoist Huyan only responded with an "oh", and did not ask any more questions.
The white-haired old woman stared at Han Li, and her eyes flickered. It was obvious that she did not believe his words.
However, he seemed to have some misgivings and did not ask.
Luo Qinghai looked at the golden shield, snorted coldly, turned around and walked down.
The other members of the Cangliu Palace hurriedly went up to greet them. Their lips moved slightly, as if they were discussing something through voice transmissions.
Han Li looked at the living corpse inside the golden barrier, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.
What was the relationship between the remnant soul and this living corpse?
Could it be that he wanted me to bring him out of that mystic realm so that his soul could return to its original body?
Moreover, Jiao San first refined the Emptiness Pill, and just now, she was so concerned about the remnant soul. Could it be that she already knew that there was such a living corpse here? What was her purpose?
Various thoughts swirled in his mind, intertwining into a mess.
He laughed bitterly, shook his head, and stopped thinking about it.
These things did not have much to do with him. Regardless of whether it was the Cangliu Palace or Jiao San and the others, as long as they did not provoke him, he could not be bothered to care too much.
The most important thing was that now that all the Taiyi Pills had been refined, he had gotten what he wanted. This place gave him a bad feeling, and he did not want to stay any longer.
Han Li was about to turn around, but he suddenly stopped. He looked at the living corpse under the light barrier, and a strange look flashed through his eyes.
Just now, the right finger of the corpse seemed to have moved.
However, it was only for a moment, and he was not sure if he had seen wrongly.
"Friend Li, what's wrong?" Taoist Huyan saw this and asked through voice transmissions.
"Nothing."
Han Li looked at the others, but they did not seem to have noticed what had just happened. He shook his head and said.
"It seems that there are no other treasures in this hall. Why don't we go somewhere else?" Taoist Huyan did not suspect anything and said.
Hearing this, Han Li looked at the roof and the various restrictions in the hall.
The golden roof of the hall and the restrictions in the hall could actually resist the Pill Punishment. As a Taoist Alchemy Master, he was naturally quite tempted.
However, he had just unleashed his Spirit Domain, and he discovered that the golden roof of the hall was one with the entire hall.
The battle that had just taken place had been extremely intense, but the walls of the golden hall were completely unscathed, so it would be impossible to remove the roof and take it away.
"Let's go and have a look," Han Li sighed with a hint of disappointment in his heart.
Aside from the Taiyi Pills, he had also reaped other rewards on this trip. He had just witnessed the golden hall resist the Pill Punishment several times, and he had gained a lot of insight into the intricacies of the restrictions in the hall.
His Integrated Five Extremes Mountain also possessed the ability to resist the Pill Punishment, so it was somewhat similar to the restrictions in this place.
"Have you recorded everything?" Han Li asked Daoist Xie through voice transmission.
"I've recorded everything."
Somewhere within his body, Daoist Xie was holding a white jade slip in his hand. The jade slip was filled with a set of restrictions, and they were all extremely detailed and complete.
"That's good to hear." A hint of elation flashed through Han Li's eyes.
The restrictions here were profound. Once he left the Netherfrost Celestial Abode, he would go into seclusion and concentrate on comprehending it. If he could fuse this set of restrictions with the Integrated Five Extremes Mountain, it might not necessarily be weaker than the Golden Peak here. This would definitely be of great help to him when he refined pills in the future, especially Dao pills.
Right at this moment, a strange sound rang out from the green pill cauldron again.
Han Li turned around, and his expression changed slightly.
Jin Tong had jumped onto the green pill cauldron and transformed into his golden beetle form, which was munching away at the body of the cauldron.
The white flames beneath the pill cauldron quickly shrank back to their original size. A layer of green light appeared over the pill cauldron in an attempt to stop Jin Tong, but to no avail.
Perhaps the white flames had destroyed the restrictions around the pill cauldron, but the greyish-white statues and puppets on either side of the hall did not move.
"Jin Tong, what are you doing?" Han Li's body swayed as he flew over to the green pill cauldron.
A trace of regret flashed through his eyes as he looked at the pill cauldron that had been gnawed away.
"I'm quite hungry after all that, and I need to nourish myself!
I've been waiting for this cauldron to refine pills for you, and I've been holding back for a long time … "Jin Tong swallowed the pill cauldron in big mouthfuls and said incoherently.
"Alright then, but I don't have time for you to eat slowly now." Han Li sighed helplessly and waved his hand to emit a green light that wrapped around the entire pill cauldron.
No matter how mysterious the pill cauldron was, it had been bitten away by Jin Tong after all. It could be said that what was done could not be undone, and no matter how much he blamed it, it would be useless. Moreover, he knew that he did not have the ability to repair it, so he might as well help Jin Tong.
The others glanced over and quickly shifted their gazes.
The Grand Unity Pills had all been refined. If this pill cauldron was not damaged, it would naturally be a rare treasure. Now that it was in such a bad state, its value would naturally be greatly reduced, and it was not worth offending a Golden Immortal who had mastered the power of the Law of Time.
Han Li waved one hand, and the green pill cauldron was wrapped in a green light, and he lifted it up.
Boom!
The entire palace tremored violently, and the bottom of the pill cauldron had sunk deep into the ground, only to be pulled out by Han Li.
Some of the remaining restrictions around the pill cauldron flashed violently before being completely destroyed.
Han Li waved a hand to stash the pill cauldron, along with Jin Tong, into a spirit beast pouch.
In the instant that the pill cauldron flew into the spirit beast pouch, a white shadow flew out from within the pill cauldron before disappearing into Han Li's body.
Daoist Xie was seated with his legs crossed somewhere within Han Li's body.
White light flashed, and a ball of scorching white flames appeared before transforming into a miniature white flame humanoid figure. This was none other than the Essence Flame Humanoid Figure.
However, compared to before, the Essence Flame Humanoid Figure had grown significantly, and its facial features had become more intricate.
More importantly, the aura emanating from its body was several times more powerful than before.
White flames surged around the Essence Flame Humanoid Figure, and a burst of fearsome scorching heat radiated through the surroundings.
Daoist Xie opened his eyes with furrowed brows as he distanced himself from the Essence Flame Humanoid Figure.
The Essence Flame Humanoid Figure opened its mouth to expel a ball of dazzling silver light, which was a Great Unity Pill.
However, this pill was different from the other Great Unity Pills. There were silver veined patterns on the surface of the pill, which faintly formed the image of a Three-legged Golden Crow. The aura emanating from it was also significantly more powerful than that of the other Great Unity Pills.
The Essence Flame Humanoid Figure waved a hand to toss the Great Unity Pill upward.
A ripple flashed past, and the Great Unity Pill disappeared into thin air.
Within the palace, a hint of barely detectable joy flashed through Han Li's eyes, and he turned to make his way toward Daoist Huyan and the others.
However, right at this moment, two streaks of light suddenly descended from above, and the light faded to reveal two humanoid figures.
One of them was tall and slender with elegant features, while the other was lithe and graceful. They were the supervising immortal envoy of the Heavenly Court, Gongshu Jiu, and the vice-palace master of the Northern Glacial Immortal Palace, Xue Ying.
The two of them were immediately greeted by a chaotic scene upon entering the palace.
Everyone present also turned toward the entrance.
"Hehe, it's really lively here," Gongshu Jiu said with a warm smile.
His voice wasn't loud, but it stood out in the noisy palace.
When everyone saw Gongshu Jiu's appearance, they were all startled. Then, their gazes fell on Xue Ying, and their expressions changed.
Han Li slightly raised his eyebrows. He felt that Gongshu Jiu's aura was as deep as the sea, and he couldn't see through it, which made him a little fearful.
Luo Qinghai slightly furrowed his brows, looking back and forth between Gongshu Jiu and Xue Ying. He seemed a little confused.
Gongshu Jiu's gaze swept across everyone in the palace, and the smile on his face grew wider.
"It seems that today is a lucky day for me. I can't believe that I can meet so many traitors of the Samsara Temple at once, and they aren't ordinary small fries. This is a great harvest," Gongshu Jiu said with a smile as he played with the White Jade Pixiu in his hand.
