A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality (Chapter 1401-Chapter 1600)

Han Li was naturally ecstatic to see this. However, this only made it even more difficult to decide just what he was going to do with this special material.

After pondering the issue for half a day, Han Li decided to examine what changes the Gold Devouring Beetles were going to take on after their evolution before making a final verdict.

Two more days passed by in a flash.

The third day was the seventh day since Han Li made that agreement with the cow-headed demon beast.

Early in the morning, not only did those two demon beasts arrive outside his cave abode, even the golden ape and the massive boar had turned up.

All of the demon beasts were staring at the azure light outside Han Li's cave abode with fear in their eyes, and they didn't dare to make even the slightest sound to announce their arrival, silently waiting outside instead until when Han Li was ready to see them.

When it was close to noon, the azure light disappeared like bubbles in the sunlight, revealing a massive stone gate that was over 200 feet tall.

Following a loud rumbling sound, the stone gate opened of its own accord, revealing a shimmering white passageway.

"Come in." An indifferent voice sounded from within the passageway.

The demon beast stirred upon hearing this, and they naturally didn't dare to oppose Han Li's orders as they entered the passageway one after another. Aside from the small cow-headed beast, the other demon beasts all had to shrink their bodies significantly before they were able to enter through the stone gate.

A short while later, Han Li sat upon a stone chair within an antiquated stone hall in the cave abode, looking down at the four demon beasts, and his eyes lingered on the golden ape for slightly longer than when he was appraising the others.

Before the demon beasts had a chance to say anything, Han Li swept a sleeve through the air, and a massive object flew forth before thudding to the ground.

It was a massive blue wyrm head.

The four demon beasts were all given a massive fright upon seeing this.

"This is the head of that Lord of Treasured Light. Now that I've killed him, your deal with him is naturally void. Seeing as you've arrived here today, I trust that you've made your decision. Have you brought the items I asked for?" Han Li asked in an implacable tone.

Looking at the shimmering blue wyrm head, all four beasts were able to sense the residual aura of an eighth grade demon beast emanating from it, and chills ran down their spines in unison.

"What other choice do we have? We've indeed brought along the items you've asked for, Senior," the cow-headed beast replied with a forced smile after exchanging glances with three other beasts.

"Good. I've also prepared the Woodbud Flowers that you require. I can hand them over to you as soon as I ascertain that the items you've brought to me are satisfactory," Han Li said in an indifferent voice before sweeping a hand over the storage bracelet on his wrist.

White light flashed, and a massive rectangular jade box appeared in his hand.

After the lid of the box was lifted, a mesmerizing floral scent immediately wafted through the air.

The jade box was filled with thumb-sized golden bell-shaped flowers, and there appeared to be over 100 of them.





Chapter 1411: Gold Marrow Body Refinement


Under closer examination, he discovered that the little bells were emitting a dense wood spiritual Qi; they were actually small golden flowers that resembled bells.

They appeared realistic as if they were bells forged from pure gold.

“There are truly many Woodbud Flowers, and they seem to be over a thousand years old.” When he saw the flowers, the huge ape hummed and wore an astonished expression.

Han Li chuckled, “Woodbud Flowers? You’ve seen them before. How about the Golden Marrow Crystal Insects and the Golden Corral Sand?”

The small beast’s eyes flickered with joy, but he calmly said, “I fear there isn’t enough, but the hundred of flowers will qualify for an exchange of ten pairs of beetles in accordance with our agreement.”

Han Li smiled and he tossed the jade box in front of him, then floating in the air. Then he flipped his other hand and produced a long jade box.

The lit open to produce a box brimming with Woodbud Flowers.

The scene left many of the demon beasts dumbstruck.

Han Li looked at the demon beasts and leisurely said, “This should be enough. Take out whatever crystal insects and coral sand you’ve brought along.”

Startled, the demon beasts whispered a few words to one another. Eventually, the small beast took out fist-sized crystals, and the other demon beasts took out palm-sized black gourds.

In the blink of an eye, fifteen crystals and three black gourds appeared in the hall.

Han Li’s eyes lit up and he silently reached for them.

Suddenly, one of the crystals floated and jumped into his hand.

Han Li closely examined it.

The crystal was clear and translucent. It was clearly condensed from a pair of pure-white insects, unmoving as if they were fossilized.

His immense spiritual sense instantly turned into countless threads and penetrated its crystal body, affecting the small insect on the top of the crystal.

A layer of milky white light appeared from the surface of the insect. Then, it spat a drop of golden liquid from its mouth which seeped onto its body.

Bright light radiated from the crystal, filling the air with sparkling golden light.

When Han Li saw this, his expression stirred and he exerted strength into his grip on the crystal, forcing an immense pressure on it.

The crystal’s body simply flickered with light, but it wasn’t harmed at all.

Han Li muttered, “It really is a Golden Marrow Crystal Insect!”

“Senior, don’t worry. We may be mighty bold, but we’d never deceive you.” The small bull-headed beast wryly laughed.

“Is that so?” Han Li neutrally replied. Then, he put down the crystal and flicked his hand, summoning a black gourd into his grasp.

He tilted it, pouring a river of purple-gold sand out from it. Soon, a meter-tall pile appeared on the ground.

Han Li pinched a grain of sand from the pile and brought it to his eye.

He stared at it for a long while and poured out the sand from the other two black gourds into one combined pile.

Han Li looked at the sand pile and casually said, “Not bad, this Golden Coral Sand is of the best quality. With the addition of the fifteen pairs of crystal insects, the two boxes of Woodbud Flowers are still more valuable, but I’ll still agree to the trade.”

When the four demon beasts heard this, they nodded with joy.

Han Li tossed the two boxes over, and the small beast and the huge gold-furred ape carefully put it away.

Meanwhile, Han Li swept his sleeve across the ground. In an azure mist, the crystals and the gourds of sand disappeared without a trace.

“I am satisfied with this trade. If you find any Golden Coral Sand or other rare items in the future, I will trade them for items you need. I don’t only have Woodbud Flowers, and I won’t have you take a loss. You may leave.” With no further intention of having the demons stay, Han Li dismissed them.

Under the pressure of Han Li’s immense aura, the demon beasts didn’t dare to say anything further and they respectfully and carefully withdrew from Han Li’s cave residence. They promptly took off in a demonic wind.

The demon beasts flew for over five hundred kilometers in a single stretch before stopping and letting out a long sigh. They then gathered together again.

The huge boar excitedly snorted, “This is great! I didn’t expect that we’d get so many Woodbud Flowers in a single go. Furthermore, they’re all over a thousand years old. If we deliver all of them, the Tian Peng race definitely won’t punish us even if we don’t offer anything else.”
