Chapter 820: The Blood Curse Gate
Seeing Han Li’s actions, the Marquis of Nanlong and the old man didn’t hold back either. Each carefully stored a medicinal bottle into their storage bags.
Then the three of them naturally turned their gaze to the two remaining ancient treasures. Now there were two treasures and three people, which was indeed a bit difficult to divide.
Just as the Marquis of Nanlong and the other hesitated, Han Li blinked and suddenly chuckled softly.
“How about this? I’m not short of ancient treasures. If you two fellow cultivators happen to carry enough spirit stones, you can just take these two ancient treasures. Just pay me an equivalent amount of spirit stones,” Han Li said leisurely.
“Fellow cultivator Han, you are being so generous. We would rather not decline your offer. I happen to have brought many spirit stones,” said the old man surnamed Lu, immediately showing joy and agreeing at once. After all, ancient treasures are indeed priceless and hard to come by in the Tian Nan immortal cultivation world.
The Marquis of Nanlong himself was lacking in ancient treasures, so he also agreed with a big smile to Han Li’s proposal.
After these two roughly gathered enough spirit stones from their belongings, they finally handed over the full amount to Han Li.
In this way, both parties could be considered satisfied.
When Han Li saw the Marquis of Nanlong and the other take the two remaining ancient treasures, he casually signaled with his hand to pull the blue silkworm robe, which the Marquis of Nanlong had tossed aside, into his palm. Then he boldly put it away.
The two were momentarily stunned, but since Han Li had just handed over the two ancient treasures, they didn’t dare to make a fuss over something trivial.
Although this robe was rare, its practical use was limited, so they let Han Li take it.
After dividing the treasures, the three still greedily picked some spiritual herbs next to the lava lake, each getting a few stalks.
These herbs surviving here were naturally no ordinary plants. They were fire-attributed spiritual herbs called Golden Sun Ganoderma, a top-grade material for refining fire-attributed spirit pills.
After ensuring there was nothing else worth their attention, the three gathered at the stone platform to discuss the next steps.
“Since we have the treasures, I do not intend to stay in the Inner Valley any longer. I plan to retrace my steps and return directly to the Outer Valley. Fellow cultivators, why don’t you come along?” Han Li said calmly.
“Fellow cultivator Han, don’t joke. Brother Lu and I have finally entered the Inner Valley; naturally, we won’t leave like this. But Brother Han, why are you in such a hurry to leave the valley?” the Marquis of Nanlong asked with a sly smile.
“Nothing much. I have already gained enough, so I don’t want to take any more risks. The path of cultivation is long, and I have no interest in staying in such a dangerous place,” Han Li replied casually.
“Hehe! I didn’t expect fellow cultivator Han to be so wise about self-preservation. Unfortunately, the two of us won’t be traveling with you. You can go ahead alone,” the old man surnamed Lu said with a smile.
“Go alone? But if I take the Two Polarity Rings, how will you two deal with the Arctic Primordial Light inside the passage?” Han Li asked slowly with a strange expression on his face.
“We have already considered that. Brother Han, rest assured! Master Cangkun has long found a teleportation formation in the Inner Valley that can take us directly back to the Outer Valley. However, it’s a bit of a journey to get there, so it’s actually faster to return the original way. Otherwise, I would have told you directly,” the Marquis of Nanlong replied confidently without hesitation.
Han Li was a little surprised but then nodded as usual.
“I see. Then I’ll take my leave here and hope you both gain greatly.”
“Thank you for your kind words, fellow cultivator Han!”
“I won’t see you off,” said Lu.
