"We've been here for a long time, Brother Xie.
Let's continue onward, Brother Xie, "Han Li said as he glanced around at his surroundings.
Daoist Xie nodded in response, then appeared atop the flying carriage before casting an incantation seal through the air.
The flying carriage immediately turned into a streak of green light, carrying Han Li and the others into the sky.
At the center of the flying carriage, Han Li was sitting with his legs crossed, sensing the current situation in his body with his eyes closed.
Right now, even though he had used the power of the law of time contained in the threads of time to delay the baleful decay, the baleful qi in his body had not faded at all. Furthermore, three of his normal immortal apertures were already invaded by the black threads of baleful qi.
Han Li's heart sank slightly upon seeing this, then he thought of something and opened his eyes before pointing a finger forward.
A watery light flashed in front of him, and a water mirror appeared, reflecting his figure.
In the water mirror, Han Li's eyes were flashing with grey light from time to time, turning his pupils grey. It seemed that his pupils were turning grey more frequently than before.
Han Li waved his hand to remove the water mirror, then fell into deep thought.
Judging from the current situation, the Northern Frost Immortal Realm was only a remote Immortal Realm in the entire True Immortal Realm, with almost no Grand Unity cultivators. As such, even though he had paid attention to the Five Heavenly Decay, he did not obtain much useful information. Furthermore, his current situation was slightly different from that of an ordinary Five Heavenly Decay cultivator, so he would have to think of a solution after entering the Black Mountain Immortal Realm.
However, Han Li then thought of something, and he flipped his hand to take out the Samsara Palace's "Dragon Fifth" mask that Jiao San had given him back then, then put it on his face.
Just as he had expected, many people had already responded to his request to purchase the other refining materials for the Void Essence Pill at all costs.
An hour later, when Han Li put away the mask, there was a small pile of materials beside him, which were the materials for the Void Essence Pill.
He instructed Daoist Xie, Magic Light, and the others to look after Jin Tong and pay attention to the surroundings, then he waved his hand to create a barrier before taking out the silver pill cauldron.
Han Li flicked his sleeve in a practiced manner, and a ball of scorching flames flew out, landing below the pill cauldron, revealing the figure of the flame miniature person.
A terrifying scorching aura emanated from the flame miniature person, and it was even more powerful than when he left the Dark Frost Immortal Palace.
The miniature flame figure called out to Han Li several times before obediently sitting down and waving its hands in an incantation gesture.
The white flames on its body immediately erupted before splitting into 12 white flames that flew out evenly to envelop the bottom of the pill cauldron.
The pill cauldron quickly became scorching hot.
With the pill refinement experience he'd had in Dire Straits, Han Li was now very familiar with the process of refining Void Essence Pills. The only issue that was slightly troublesome was that the Black Essence Crystals he was using were of extremely high quality, so he had to balance them with the other materials.
However, this was not a big problem for him, who could use the power of the Law of Time.
Han Li let out a light breath and calmed his mind. He picked up a material and threw it into the pill furnace, beginning to refine the pill.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight years had passed.
The green flying car was still speeding through the endless wilderness. Below them, there was a world of ice and snow, and at other times, there were towering ancient trees, and at other times, there was a desolate desert, and at other times, there was a flat plain.
According to the map given by the Ancestor of the Sky Fox Clan, they did not encounter too much trouble along the way, although they had to take a big detour from time to time.
Occasionally, some savage beasts would block their way, but they were nothing to Magic Light, Daoist Xie, and the Pixiu.
Within the barrier, Han Li was seated with his legs crossed, casting one incantation seal after another toward the silver pill cauldron in front of him with rapt attention.
"Pu!"
Silver light flashed on the surface of the silver pill furnace and its lid flew off, revealing the situation inside.
A black pill was lying quietly in the pill furnace, exuding a crystalline black light. It was the Void Yuan Pill.
A smile appeared on his face, and he waved his hand to put away the pill. He then released a burst of green light to put away the silver pill furnace and the flame puppet.
Today, under his intermittent refinement, he had already refined all the materials he bought. Excluding the failed ones, he had about 20 Void Yuan Pills in his hands.
He picked up a pill and carefully examined it for a moment before opening his mouth and swallowing it.
He had to experience the effects of this pill for himself before he could be sure.
The Void Yuan Pill entered his stomach and immediately melted, turning into a cold yin force that wandered throughout his body.
Nothing special happened where the yin force passed through. It only resonated with the baleful qi in his body, but nothing else happened.
Han Li knew that this pill would take some time to slowly take effect, so he was not in a hurry. He closed his eyes and quietly adjusted his breathing, waiting for the pill to take effect.
This wait lasted for more than half a year.
The cold yin force formed by the Void Yuan Pill suddenly stopped near his lower abdomen, turning into a strange cyclone that kept rotating, and began to have some special connection with the baleful qi in his body and the dozens of immortal apertures.
Gradually, the baleful qi in Han Li's body concealed bit by bit, even the black wisps of baleful qi in his immortal apertures became much slower.
He raised his eyebrows and pointed with his finger.
Water light flashed in front of him, forming a water mirror.
In the water mirror, the grey light that flashed in his eyes disappeared, and his pupils became almost black again.
Han Li's expression relaxed when he saw this.
To enter Black Mountain Immortal Domain, if his pupils turned grey from time to time, it would be extremely troublesome, he would probably be targeted by Heavenly Court soon.
Although he could use techniques to conceal it, it was hard to guarantee that he would not be exposed. Now that the baleful qi was restrained, his pupils had basically returned to normal, unless someone paid special attention or used some special method, he should not be discovered.
This made him heave a sigh of relief.
This way, after he and Magic Light entered Black Mountain Immortal Domain, they would be able to last for some time with the Void Yuan Pills they had.
But to be on the safe side, he issued a mission to purchase other materials for the Void Yuan Pills in the Immortal Alliance.
As soon as he finished doing this, a dull sound could be heard.
Han Li dispelled the surrounding restrictions and stood up. When he saw the source of the sound, a joyful expression appeared on his face.
The white clouds at the back of the flying carriage surged violently, and the golden ball within the clouds shone brightly, tearing the surrounding white clouds apart.
A powerful aura emanated from the golden ball and spread in all directions.
Pi Xiu Xiao Bai, who was sleeping soundly, was startled awake and hurriedly ran over. Mo Guang Guang was sitting cross-legged on the other side of the flying car. He only opened his eyes and glanced over before closing them again.
"Is Boss going to wake up?" Little White looked at the golden ball and muttered to himself.
"Brother Xie, find a place to stop," Han Li instructed Daoist Xie after a brief pause.
Daoist Xie waved a hand through the air, and the flying carriage immediately swooped down toward a certain direction. Not long after that, it stopped within a valley that was shrouded in mist.
At this moment, the golden light emanating from the golden ball was becoming brighter and brighter, as if it were a golden sun, dyeing the surrounding space a pure golden hue.
With a wave of his hand, Han Li cast an incantation seal and put away the white flag.
Right at this moment, a series of cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the golden ball, and they rapidly spread before a massive hole was torn open.
Immediately thereafter, a slender figure slowly emerged from within.
This was a young woman who appeared to be in her teens with shoulder-length golden hair, a pair of almond eyes, and a slender and graceful figure.
As the woman walked out, the golden orb shattered into golden powder that filled the sky with a "bang" sound. The golden powder scattered in the air as if it was raining gold powder.
The golden-haired young woman slowly approached Han Li and the others from within the golden dust. Her skin was smooth and translucent, and she walked through the golden dust without a single speck of dust on her body. She also didn't possess the slightest aura of a mortal.
"You're… Jin Tong?" Han Li's brows furrowed slightly as he appraised the young woman before him.
Aside from the fact that this young woman bore a slight resemblance to Jin Tong, her figure and facial features had all undergone significant changes. In particular, her disposition had undergone an earth-shattering transformation.
This was a completely different feeling from before, and she was giving off a cold and forbidding aura.
Little White, the Pixiu, stared at the young woman with widened eyes and was in a daze.
"Now that I think about it, it still feels like a dream for me to be able to avert danger and successfully advance to the Taiyi State," Jin Tong nodded at Han Li, stretched lazily, and said softly.
Her voice had also changed a lot. It was as crisp as pearls falling onto a jade plate, pleasant to the ears, but without a trace of emotion.
Upon hearing this, Han Li's brows did not loosen. He sized up Jin Tong with a flicker of blue light in his eyes, and there was still some hesitation in his gaze.
"Uncle, why are you looking at me like this?
If I'm not Jin Tong, am I the Golden Devouring Immortal that was chasing after us?
It's just that after swallowing that fellow, I seem to have gained a lot of memories. "
A sly smile flashed across Jin Tong's eyes, but it was only for a fleeting moment before it returned to its usual coldness.
"Did you recall something?" Han Li's brows loosened as he asked.
After hearing the familiar "Uncle" and confirming it again through the spiritual connection, he was finally convinced that the other party was indeed Jin Tong.
"Uncle, since the beginning of the mortal world, thanks to your care, Jin Tong can come all the way to where I am today," Jin Tong said after a moment of silence, which was rare for him, and bowed to Han Li.
"Why are you saying this all of a sudden?" Han Li was slightly startled.
"I want to go out alone and look for other Golden Devouring Immortals," Jin Tong said.
"You already have clues about other Golden Devouring Immortals?" Han Li frowned slightly and asked.
"No, but I can vaguely feel something," Jin Tong shook his head and said.
"Although your strength has increased tremendously, I'm still worried about you wandering around aimlessly," Han Li said slowly.
"Yes, Boss!
The Immortal World is so dangerous. Why don't you follow Master? Both of you won't have to be afraid of a Late-stage Taiyi State opponent if you join forces. You can eat and drink, and you're safe. Why do you want to leave? "Little White, the Pixiu, quickly said.
"Searching for my kind is my mission. Uncle, you also have your own things to do." Jin Tong was not moved at all as he shook his head and said.
Han Li's eyes flickered when he saw this scene, but he did not say anything.
Little White, the Pixiu, wanted to say something, but when it saw the determined look on Jin Tong's face, it did not say anything.
"Have you really thought it through?" Han Li said slowly after a moment of silence.
"I hope Uncle can fulfill my wish." Jin Tong nodded.
