Chapter 825: Reunion
When the scholar surnamed Zhong and the woman surnamed Le were discussing the strange aspects of Fallen Demon Valley, Han Li was already hundreds of miles away.
The remaining journey was uneventful. After several hours, he smoothly flew to the cave at the entrance of the Inner Valley.
Taking out the Two Polarity Rings again, Han Li used this magical treasure to safeguard himself as he entered the passage inside the cave.
Passing through a tunnel several miles long did not take much time. Soon, Han Li emerged from the section filled with arctic primordial light and saw the somewhat pale cave exit.
His heart felt a slight joy as he quickened his pace.
After a moment, Han Li’s eyes brightened. He had appeared once more in front of the cliff of the Outer Valley.
Looking up at the dim sky, though it still appeared unpleasant, it was far better than the almost omnipresent blood-colored mist in the Inner Valley.
His spiritual awareness scanned the nearby area; there was nothing abnormal, and no other cultivators had discovered this place. Only then did Han Li breathe a slight sigh of relief, his gaze shifting to the cliff wall near the cave entrance.
Without hesitation, he raised his hand, sending forth an azure spell formation. After a flash of spiritual light, it vanished into the stone wall.
Then without a word, Han Li formed a hand seal with both hands, chanting a low incantation softly.
A strange scene unfolded!
The seemingly ordinary cliff surface suddenly revealed a layer of azure mist, covering the entire cliff.
Then, swarms of small golden golddevourer worms poured out from within the light veil. Silver crystal chunks of various sizes fell from the insect cloud—some as big as fists, others as tiny as grains of beans.
In an instant, a small pile gathered on the ground before Han Li.
These silver crystals shone like silver but were somewhat translucent.
This was refined Gang Silver Sand ore crystallized from the earth.
At first, Han Li’s expression remained calm as several crystals fell.
However, when more than a dozen crystals had accumulated on the ground, he couldn’t help but show a moved expression.
“Han kid! The Gang Silver Sand ore veins here are far more abundant than I initially expected. It seems the mechanical puppets I developed can be fused and refined using this material,” the voice of the great yin divine lord suddenly echoed in Han Li’s mind, filled with excitement and unable to hide his enthusiasm.
“Indeed. I didn’t expect such an abundance of Gang Silver Sand veins here. This harvest is truly extraordinary!” Han Li replied happily after the last group of golddevourer worms dropped their stored Gang Silver Sand crystals.
With a flick of his sleeve, a sweep of azure mist passed over the ground, which was now empty.
All the Gang Silver Sand crystals were instantly stored in Han Li’s storage pouch.
Then, with a sharp whistle, the golden insect cloud hovering at low altitude flew down like a swarm, diving straight into the spiritual technique pouch.
After completing all this, Han Li slapped the storage pouch with one hand, producing a transparent orb about the size of his thumb.
He opened his mouth, emitting a burst of azure spiritual energy, which immediately sprayed onto the orb.
The originally clear and crystal-like orb shimmered with spiritual light, and a tiny azure dot the size of a soybean appeared inside the sphere.
Han Li’s gaze flickered as he stared at the orb for a long moment, his brow furrowing slightly. Then he looked around, identifying the directions.
Only then did spiritual light flash around his body, suddenly transforming into an azure rainbow shooting straight up into the sky. He flew off in a certain direction at light speed.
Though flying swiftly, Han Li kept one hand supporting the orb throughout.
Every so often, after flying a certain distance, he would lower his head to check the orb, then adjust his flying direction accordingly.
As a result, his speed was not too fast; he flew steadily and calmly all along.
