Chapter 517: Verification
"You were counting treasures without me, weren't you, Uncle? These are just the things that you don't need, aren't they?" Jin Tong complained with her brows tightly furrowed in displeasure.
"You were sleeping really soundly after eating that cauldron, so I thought I'd let you sleep," Han Li replied in a sheepish manner.
Jin Tong immediately pouted with displeasure upon hearing this, clearly not very satisfied with Han Li's answer.
The jade Pixiu was looking back and forth at Han Li and Jin Tong upon seeing this, seemingly a little confused. nove(l)bi(n.)com
"This bracelet is for you. You can have everything inside it," Han Li said as he raised a hand to summon another storage bracelet, which he handed to Jin Tong.
The former owner of this storage bracelet was none other than Qi Tianxiao.
Jin Tong was still looking rather displeased as she accepted the storage bracelet, but as soon as she inspected its contents, a wide smile immediately appeared on her face.
"You're the best, Uncle!"
Jin Tong quickly put on the storage bracelet, then stowed all of the other treasures on the ground away as well, while Han Li looked on with a faint smile.
The jade Pixiu was feeling very indignant at the sight of this differential treatment, and it could only lay its head down onto the ground with a dejected expression.
Only then did Jin Tong notice the white Pixiu that was laying on the ground nearby, and she skipped over to its side before laying a hand down onto the top of its head.
"Where did you get this dog from, Uncle? Can I eat it?"
The jade Pixiu immediately sprang up onto its haunches upon hearing this, and it yelled, "What the hell are you saying, you little brat? I'll have you know that I'm a primordial true spirit!"
"Did you just call me a little brat?"
A cold look appeared in Jin Tong's eyes as she bared her teeth in a menacing fashion.
The jade Pixiu immediately felt a chill run down its spine, but there was no way that it would allow its honor to be trampled upon by a little girl, so it immediately swelled to the size of a house once again as it roared, "You asked for it!"
Jin Tong merely grinned as a burst of golden light appeared over her body.
An exasperated look appeared on Han Li's face upon seeing this, and he turned and departed from the clearing.
......
A few minutes later, peace and quiet returned to the island.
"Let's go. We need to make a trip back to Dark Veil Island," Han Li said after erasing all traces of his visit from the island.
He then swept a sleeve through the air to summon the green jade flying carriage that once belonged to Gongshu Jiu before flying onto it.
"Alright, let's go!" Jin Tong yelled with an elated look on her face, and she was straddled atop the jade Pixiu, which looked as if it wanted to die.
"Hurry up, Xiao Bai!" Jin Tong urged as she gave it a slap on the head. [1]
The jade Pixiu gave a distraught wail before carrying Jin Tong onto the flying carriage, which then sped away into the distance, vanishing out of sight in the blink of an eye.
......
Han Li took a glance at his surroundings, and he recalled that the scene that he had witnessed back in the Moonlight Palace after being sucked into the wall of light by the Heaven Controlling Vial was precisely this exact setting.
However, even though this was the same island as the one he saw back then, there were still some differences between the two.
Could it be...
His eyes suddenly lit up slightly as he flew down into the sea near the island, then continued to descend through the water, quickly reaching the seabed.
At the same time, he released his spiritual sense outward, and he quickly tracked down a giant rock on the seabed before unleashing a streak of sword qi to strike it.
A huge hole was blasted into the rock, and Han Li reached into the hole to retrieve a green bracelet that was covered in mud.
"This is it!" he exclaimed with an elated smile on his face at the sight of the green bracelet.
This was the storage bracelet belonging to the Golden Immortal Stage nascent soul that Han Li had possessed during that vision.
This was proof that the vision had been real, and he really had possessed a nascent soul from the ancient past, back when the Infernal Frost Immortal Palace was destroyed.
With that in mind, he flipped a hand over to produce the Heaven Controlling Vial and began inspecting it in silence.
Its ability to drastically accelerate the aging of spirit plants was already quite astonishing, yet in addition to that, it had also developed the ability to send Han Li's soul into the past.
It seemed that the first vision that he had experienced, back when he had possessed Ling Yunzi, had also been a past event.
However, it was impossible to tell exactly what time period that was.
There was also the scene depicting the portly monk and his five disciples, and even to this day, that scene remained fresh in Han Li's mind. Having said that, he still had no idea who the portly monk was. However, one thing was certain: the monk's cultivation base had to have been far superior to his own. Otherwise, there was no way that he would've been able to make such significant strides in his cultivation just from hearing the monk's preaching.
After pondering the matter for a moment longer, Han Li stowed the Heavenly Controlling Vial away.
It was impossible for him to tell just how many secrets the Heaven Controlling Vial was harboring, but it was clear that it was even more profound than he had once imagined.
With a sweep of his sleeve, Han Li released a burst of blue light that expelled all of the surrounding seawater, creating an empty bubble on the seabed.
He then released the contents of the storage bracelet, revealing some Immortal Origin Stones, spirit treasures, and pills, among other things.
He had briefly examined these things during the vision, but due to the time constraints, he wasn't able to inspect them very thoroughly, and now that he had a chance to do so, he was very pleased by what he saw.
There were around 50,000 to 60,000 Immortal Origin Stones on the ground, which was a trifling amount compared with his current wealth, but it was still quite a significant sum.
As for the spirit treasures, all of them were flying swords of high calibers, and there were as many as 60 to 70 of them.
With the exceptions of a few swords, all of them were a light blue color, and they were also identical in shape and design, clearly indicating that this was a set of flying swords.
After counting the swords thoroughly, Han Li discovered that there were 72 of them, just like his Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, and they were giving off bursts of faint starpower fluctuations.
Han Li only briefly examined these flying swords before looking away.
All of them were peak spirit treasures that were only one step away from becoming immortal treasures, but they were still far inferior to his Azure Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords, and therefore not worthy of his attention.
