Chapter 494: The Beautiful Woman and the Spiritual Spring
The journey was unexpectedly calm, which took Han Li by surprise.
After setting foot on the red line-marked route and taking several left and right turns, Han Li encountered no restrictions or puppets, and he easily arrived before a high stone wall.
Staring at the seemingly ordinary stone wall, Han Li flipped open the worn scroll once more, lowering his head to compare and identify.
“That's right! This is definitely the place!” After a moment, Han Li murmured to himself.
With one hand raised, five cyan sword radiances shot out from his fingers, piercing several feet into the stone wall.
Seeing this, Han Li’s heart lifted with joy.
There were no restrictions on the wall; indeed, there was something concealed inside.
He then rotated his fingers slightly, causing the five sword radiances to spin half a turn simultaneously. A round hole about a meter high was easily carved out by the sharp sword radiance.
With a gentle gesture of his other hand, a large hole appeared in the wall, revealing a pitch-black interior.
Wrist flicking, the sword radiances suddenly vanished, replaced by a white light sphere floating from his palm, drifting lazily into the hole.
Without hesitation, Han Li moved and nimbly leapt inside.
It was a small secret room, no taller than six meters, and about fifteen to eighteen meters long and wide, with thick dust covering the floor.
But in the middle of the room stood a very rudimentary teleportation formation.
The formation was crookedly arranged, and the inscriptions carved on it looked extremely rough, as if someone who didn't truly understand formations had blindly copied it.
Han Li furrowed his brow.
Could it be completely unusable or long abandoned?
He stepped forward a few paces and bent down to examine the formation, applying his knowledge of formations.
After a while, he let out a breath of relief.
Although the teleportation formation was crude, it was still usable. Moreover, it did not seem to be for long-distance teleportation. It probably wouldn’t send him tens of thousands of miles away to an unfamiliar place all at once.
Han Li took out several spirit stones and quickly installed them around the edges of the teleportation formation.
After a buzzing sound, the formation emitted a faint phosphorescent glow.
Seeing this, Han Li smiled slightly.
However, he didn’t immediately rush to teleport but glanced back at the open hole thoughtfully.
Then he walked over and cast a series of restoration spells on the hole.
The broken stones instantly sealed the opening, restoring the stone wall to its original appearance.
Only then did Han Li clap his hands and step onto the teleportation formation, disappearing confidently in a burst of white light.
The next moment, Han Li appeared amidst a light mist, which was slightly damp, warm, and carried an indescribably fresh fragrance that filled his nostrils.
Yet Han Li stood inside a dilapidated formation, stunned as he stared ahead, his mouth wide open, unable to close it for a long time.
About ten meters away, there was a milky white pool of water, about thirty meters in size. The white mist and fragrance emanated from this pool.
What shocked him more was not this, but the presence of a naked figure partially standing in the water, facing him with a bent posture as if playing in the water.
The extremely exaggerated curves, ivory-like fair skin shining with luster, and the jet-black hair cascading down to the waist all unmistakably identified her as a beautiful woman in her prime.
Such an encounter made Han Li swallow nervously, his mind momentarily hazy. But when his gaze landed on her stunningly beautiful face, full of disbelief, Han Li paused and then revealed a wry smile.
“Miss Yuan, what a coincidence! We meet here again. Though it seems my timing is a bit inappropriate!” Han Li said lightly, his eyes shamelessly scanning the woman’s body without a trace of sincerity.
This young woman naked in the pool was none other than Yuan Yao, the gorgeous beauty who had vanished upon entering the Inner Hall.
