The giant golden ape that Han Li had transformed into held down the two metal beasts like a pair of iron hoops, and his eyes flashed as he did so.
If he really wanted to kill these two beasts, he naturally had a way to do so. At most, he would just have to go through some trouble. However, he was currently hesitating. He wanted to take these two strange beasts into his Flowery Branch Paradise. It wouldn't be a bad idea to use them as garden protectors.
Just as he was hesitating, the two metal beasts' tails suddenly hooked together. Two blinding golden lights lit up at the same time. The bodies of the two metal beasts suddenly liquefied and fused together. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a huge golden tiger.
After the two fused together, the golden wings on the back of the metal beast grew several times larger. However, compared to its body size, it was still somewhat uncoordinated.
"It can still fuse. As expected of a heavenly beast formed from pure metal-attribute origin energy!" Feeling the explosive aura of the metal beast, Han Li couldn't help but nod with a smile.
"Roar …"
After the metal beast's aura exploded, it seemed to have become much more temperamental. It let out a roar and fiercely pounced forward, wanting to bite Han Li.
However, at this moment, an unexpected change occurred!
Waves of fire surged violently from the five-colored pool of fire behind him. An incomparably huge flaming bird flapped its wings and flew out. Its huge silver beak fiercely pecked downwards.
"Don't …" Just as Han Li's voice began to speak, it was already too late.
The flaming bird's sharp beak had already pecked the metal beast in two. Then, the bird's tongue curled up and swallowed the metal beast into its stomach.
"What a pity!"
Han Li maintained his gesture of stopping the bird with his hand. However, he was frozen in place and sighed faintly in his heart.
When the flaming bird saw Han Li's actions, it slightly tilted its head and looked at Han Li, as if it didn't understand what he meant.
"Forget it, forget it. It's eaten.
When I find Little White in the future, I'll let that fellow guard the house. That doesn't seem like a bad idea. "Han Li smiled awkwardly and waved his hand.
As he spoke, he had already retracted the power of the true spirit bloodline and returned to human form.
The huge flaming bird also shrunk in size and arrived at the edge of the fire pool along with the surging colorful flames.
Han Li walked forward and saw that on one of the wings of the strange flaming bird, there were four round beads the size of longan nuclei lying quietly. The colors of the beads were yellow, green, cyan, and blue, which basically corresponded to the colorful flames in the fire pond.
The four pearls glowed brightly, and a suffocating heat wave was being emitted from them.
"There are actually so many Seven-colored Fire Cinnabar?" Han Li exclaimed.
The flaming bird's beak opened and closed a few times, but no sound came out. Han Li understood what it meant.
"You're saying that you've already eaten the other red cinnabar?"
The flaming bird immediately nodded happily, causing the flames in the five-colored fire pool to ripple endlessly.
"Haha, that's good.
If you can refine and absorb all of these Seven-colored Fire Cinnabar, the power of your Heavenly Flame will rise to another level. You may even be able to burn the heavens and refine the earth like in legends. "Han Li was overjoyed and laughed loudly.
The strange flaming bird was extremely excited. Its body fell backwards, as if it was doing a backstroke, lying in the fire pond. It didn't seem to move its wings, but its body was leisurely paddling backwards.
"You stay here and refine the fire cinnabar. I'll go look for other places to see if there are any other mechanisms. If there are any accidents, immediately contact me with your mind and I'll come find you." Han Li thought for a moment and said.
The latter leaped high in the fire pond and dived down, indicating that it understood.
Han Li looked around the five-colored fire pond for a moment and found that there was nothing wrong with it. Only then did he turn around and walk towards the previous passage.
After passing through an underground passage that was hundreds of feet long, the terrain gradually climbed higher. Han Li also walked out of the cave entrance.
Out of the cave entrance, Han Li walked out from behind a screen that blocked the entrance of the cave and came to a golden hall.
The hall was empty and there weren't many furnishings. There were only three round white jade cushions placed in front of the hall. There were circles of circular patterns inscribed on them, overlapping like a maze.
Han Li only stared for a moment before he felt a little dizzy. He quickly calmed himself down and his vision returned to normal.
"A little interesting …"
He said with a smile and walked forward to carefully examine for a moment. He found that the three white jade cushions were connected to the ground and couldn't be moved at all.
But other than that, there was nothing strange. Whether he used his Divine Sense to explore or used his Immortal Spiritual Power to probe, the three white jade cushions didn't move at all. There was no change at all.
After looking for a moment, Han Li lost interest. He pushed open the door of the hall and walked out.
When he came out of the hall, he found that he had already arrived at the golden building that he saw from afar.
Outside the hall was a white stone plaza. There was only a stone sundial in the center. Other than that, it was also empty.
On the other side of the white stone plaza was the tall mansion gate of this building.
Han Li didn't rush out of the mansion. Instead, he walked along a path beside the hall. After passing through a circular arch door, he came to a flower garden.
There were many spirit flowers and spirit trees planted in the flower garden. Some of them were in their flowering season. Flowers that emitted the spirit energy of heaven and earth bloomed all over the garden.
When Han Li stepped into it, his expression couldn't help but change slightly. It was the same feeling he had when he was by the spring. He once again felt a trace of the power of the law of time.
It was just that this power was a little scattered. Although he tried his best to feel it, he still couldn't find it. He could only feel that the power seemed to pervade every spirit flower around him, but he couldn't feel it deeply enough on any of them.
Han Li casually plucked a nine-petal purple flower and examined it carefully. He found that there was only a little spiritual energy left on it, and it didn't contain any power of the law of time.
"It's really strange …" Han Li sighed softly and continued to walk towards the back of the courtyard.
After passing through the flower garden, there was an independent small courtyard at the back. There were a total of three rooms on the left, right, and the main room.
Han Li was the first to enter the left wing room. The furnishings in the room were also quite simple. There were only a few bookshelves stuck to the wall, and there were many ancient books and books densely stacked on them.
He casually took down a book and flipped through it. He found that it didn't seem to be a profound secret manual, but just some ordinary secular poems.
Han Li was puzzled, so he took down another book. After flipping through it, the expression on his face became even stranger. This was because the ancient book in his hand was neither a cultivation technique manual, nor a poem, but a romance.
"Hehe, it seems that the owner of this Immortal Mansion has a wide range of interests!" Han Li muttered to himself with some emotion.
After staying in this room that should be used as a study for a while, he turned around and left the room, going to the opposite wing.
There were a lot of furnishings in the room over there, but they were all gold and stone ornaments, pearls and porcelain. As for magic treasures and immortal weapons, there was not a single one.
As Han Li browsed along the way, he felt helpless about the aesthetic taste of the original owner of this Immortal Mansion. All of his collections were painted with gold and silver, and they were beautiful. At first glance, he felt that it was the aesthetic of a nouveau riche who suddenly became rich in the market.
When he arrived at the last main room, Han Li originally didn't have any hope, but he found that it turned out to be a pill refining room.
In the middle of the pill refining room, there was a pill furnace that was half the height of a person, and on the left and right were two ebony shelves, on which there were many bottles of different sizes and colors.
Han Li looked around and found that the flame in the pill furnace had already been extinguished, but there were many pills in the bottles on the wooden shelves. Among them, the highest grade was the Spirit Sea Pill for Primordial Unity cultivators, and the lowest was the Dragon Forest Pill for Golden Immortal cultivators.
Han Li sighed and put away all of the medicine pills. "I've finally reaped some rewards."
When he was about to leave, he suddenly frowned, and his eyes fell on the pill furnace that had been extinguished.
"What's this?"
Han Li's heart stirred and he sensed a faint fluctuation of spiritual power.
He walked forward, raised his hand and patted the pill furnace, and lifted it up. The lid of the pill furnace suddenly flew up and fell to the side.
As soon as the lid was lifted, a golden light flowed out of the pill furnace, and it actually contained an extremely strong fluctuation of the Law of Time, causing Han Li's expression to change slightly.
He bent down to take a look and found that the pill furnace was shining with golden light, and there were actually ten pills the size of a longan lying quietly at the bottom of the furnace.
Han Li casually picked up one of them, and after examining it carefully for a moment, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Although the medicinal power is strong, it's scattered and not condensed. It's clearly about to become a pill, but what exactly happened to this master? Why didn't he finish refining it?" Han Li muttered to himself.
After a slight hesitation, he put the pill back, raised his hand, and sealed the furnace lid again.
Then, with a thought, he was about to summon the Refined Flame Firebird to help him refine the pill, only then he remembered that the Firebird was refining the Seven-colored Fire Cinnabar at the moment. He could only smile awkwardly, and with a gesture in front of him, he ignited the pill furnace with his own Nascent Fire.
The raging flames burned continuously, and in the blink of an eye, forty-nine days had passed.
Golden light flashed in the pill refining room, and the golden mist above the pill furnace did not dissipate, condensing into a mist in the shape of a Ganoderma.
Han Li sat cross-legged on the side, looking at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but exclaim:
"It's actually refined with the Flowing Fire Ganoderma as the main material. No wonder the Law of Time contained in it is so strong. I don't know how many years it has been here, but it still has such a scene of pill formation."
After saying that, he raised his hand, and the Nascent Fire in the furnace immediately flew back into his body.
As soon as the furnace fire stopped, the strange phenomenon on the pill furnace did not dissipate until Han Li waved his hand and removed the furnace lid, and all the mist gradually dissipated.
He looked into the furnace, and saw that among the ten pills, three were covered with cracks, and had already been refined into a waste.
As for the remaining one, Yu Qi's pill, it was clear that there were four groups of Dao patterns on it, from which a strong fluctuation of the Law of Time was emitted. It was actually seven rather high grade Dao pills.
With these pills, cultivating the Major Five Elements Fantasy Technique would be twice the result with half the effort!
