Chapter 513: Spoils

Han Li could only look on at Wyrm 3's departing figure with a wry smile.

He took some time to closely examine the map of the Black Wind Sea, and he discovered that not only was he currently very far away from Red Moon Island, he wasn't particularly close to any of the islands on the map.

Moments later, he stowed the map away, then set off in the direction of Dark Veil Island as a streak of azure light.

The wind blowing over the sea was carrying with it a slightly rank and salty smell, and after flying for tens of thousands of kilometers, Han Li removed the mask on his face and reverted back to his original appearance.

He then gently exhaled as he slowed down in his flight, inspecting his surroundings as he flew along at a leisurely pace, and it was a rare moment of serenity for him.

Even though the trip into the Infernal Frost Immortal Manor had been fraught with peril, his luck had been quite exceptional, and not only was he able to ultimately survive the ordeal completely unscathed, he had reaped many rewards to boot.

His cultivation base had reached the mid-Golden Immortal Stage, he had managed to manifest a large number of time law threads, and he had also attained a spirit domain. On top of that, his entire set of Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords had undergone an incredible evolution, and even Jin Tong and his Essence Fire Raven had both become significantly more powerful than before.

Additionally, he also had the storage tools of Xiao Jinhan, Feng Tiandu, and Gongshu Jiu, and he was very much looking forward to going through the contents of those storage tools.

Close to an hour later, a three-colored island that was around 10 to 15 kilometers in size appeared in Han Li's field of view down below.

He immediately swept his spiritual sense over the island to find that it was completely devoid of human habitation, so he decided that this would be a good place to make a stop at.

As he descended toward the island, he was able to catch a clearer glimpse of it.

The eastern part of the island was filled with lush greenery, giving it a vibrant green color when viewed from afar, and the cries of apes and deers were ringing out incessantly from within. The central area of the island was slightly barren, with sections of yellow earth exposed, while the western side of the island was riddled with steep cliffs and mountain faces.

As soon as Han Li descended onto the island, a burst of loud rustling instantly rang out from within the dense forest, and a flock of seabirds rose up from the greenery before flying away from the island.

He found a patch of empty ground in the eastern part of the island where the sunlight filtered through the trees, and he sat down there with his legs crossed.

Immediately thereafter, a speck of golden light emerged from his body, then quickly expanded to form a spherical light barrier that encompassed the entire island. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

He then flipped a hand over to produce a trio of storage bracelets, while a small white flag and a yellow badge also appeared on his lap.

The flag bore the image of a sea of clouds with both beveled silver text and golden seal text runes embroidered within them, while the words "Cloud Talisman" were inscribed onto the shaft of the flag, and that was presumably the name of the treasure.

This was a treasure of quite a high caliber, but there were no restrictions placed upon it, and Han Li was able to use it as he pleased after a brief stint of refinement.

He injected his immortal spiritual power into the flag, and it immediately swelled drastically in size, forming a huge flag that was close to 20 feet tall.

As he waved the flag through the air, a vast expanse of white mist that resembled a sea of clouds surged out from within, inundating the entire island in the blink of an eye.

All of the remaining birds and beasts on the island instantly erupted into a panicked frenzy with the sudden descent of this cloud of mist.

As the scroll was slowly unfurled, Han Li caught a glimpse of several large characters running vertically down the right side of the scroll, and the characters read "Huanan Pill Scripture".

He hurriedly unrolled the entire scroll upon seeing this, then began to pore over its contents.

A short while later, he slowly rolled the scroll back up again, and a faint smile had appeared on his face.

There were only five pill recipes on the entire scroll, but all of them were for refining Golden Immortal Stage pills, so they were perfect for Han Li.

Furthermore, he could tell from the descriptions of the five pills that all of them were among the vials of pills that he had just stowed away.

Hence, he had both the pill recipes and some samples in his possession, and he would be able to refine more of these pills anytime that he pleased.

Han Li took a deep breath to suppress his elation before opening another scroll, and this one was filled with no fewer than 5,000 tiny ancient characters.

The characters had been inscribed in a very forceful fashion, to the point that the strokes had created deep indentations into the material of the scroll, and the text was giving off a cold and menacing aura.

Just the mere sight of the scroll was enough to make Han Li feel as if he were standing in a bone-chilling snowstorm.

This scroll contained the cultivation insights that Xiao Jinhan had gleaned over the course of his entire life pertaining to the laws of water.

Han Li wasn't cultivating the laws of water, but the Black Sea Heavy Water Tome being cultivated by his Earthly Deity Avatar was a water-attribute cultivation art, and he also regularly used heavy water himself, so he was quite familiar with concepts related to the laws of water. As such, he was able to determine that these insights were extremely valuable, and this scroll would be highly sought after among those cultivating the laws of water.

After stowing the two scrolls away, Han Li turned his gaze to all of the spirit medicines and materials that littered the ground.

A brief examination told him that all of these spirit medicines were very advanced in age, and they were most likely ingredients required to refine the Golden Immortal Stage pills from earlier.

As for the spirit materials, they were also all quite rare and precious, but most of them were ice-attribute materials that weren't very useful for Han Li.

Aside from those things, all that remained of Xiao Jinhan's belongings was a small mountain of Immortal Origin Stones, which were shimmering radiantly under the light of the sun.

He gleefully stowed all of these items away, then immediately moved onto the storage bracelet that had once belonged to Feng Tiandu.

A burst of azure light swept over the ground, and the entire clearing was once again filled with items of all descriptions, among which were three Acquired Immortal Treasures, namely a black bone saber that was around two feet in length, an inky-black rectangular inkstone, and a sheet of paper that had a jade-like quality to it.

After unraveling all of the restrictions placed upon them, Han Li refined all three treasures to an elementary extent.

On each side of the black bone saber was engraved a crescent-shaped indentation, out of which faint wisps of baleful qi were emanating incessantly.

In contrast with the bone saber, the rectangular inkstone appeared completely unremarkable in appearance. There was nothing inscribed upon it, and its only noteworthy feature was that its surface was riddled with irregular cracks. However, as soon as Han Li injected his immortal spiritual power into the inkstone, scorching black flames instantly surged out of those cracks.

As for the sheet of jade-like paper, a beastly lion-like head was engraved onto one end, and following an injection of immortal spiritual power from Han Li, the head rapidly swelled in size to form an icy mountain that resembled a resting lion, and it seemed to possess formidable restrictive powers.
