Chapter 357: Transaction with Master Hanli
Following the golden raccoon, Ye Changsheng walked through the Hanli secret realm for a while and came to a tall and smooth stone wall.
A huge stone door appeared on the stone wall, flashing with a pale yellow forbidden light all over.
The golden raccoon flashed with light and drilled into the stone wall. Then the stone door opened with a rumbling sound, revealing a crystal clear passage.
The walls of this passage were all covered with a thick layer of frost, which was so deep and bottomless that it felt like it was leading to an ice cave.
"Welcome, Fellow Daoist Ye, to my humble home. Please forgive me for my poor health and inability to greet you from afar. Fellow Daoist Ye, please come in!" A voice came from inside the ice cave.
Ye Changsheng's eyes flashed, and he walked into the ice cave without hesitation. The deeper he went, the thicker the icy air around him became.
In the end, when the coldness here could freeze low-level cultivators, Ye Changsheng finally reached the end of the tunnel.
A misty white hall appeared before my eyes. Upon closer inspection, I found that the entire hall was made of thousand-year-old black ice that emitted a hint of cold light. It was truly a grand project.
The moment he entered the hall, Ye Changsheng's eyes were immediately attracted by the giant blue tripod in the center of the hall.
From that giant cauldron, wisps of light blue flame emerged. Seeing that familiar smell, Ye Changsheng recognized it as the Qianlan Ice Flame at a glance.
"What's the matter, Brother Ye, do you also know Qianlan Bingyan?" An old and deep voice sounded from one side of the hall.
Then, a figure flashed, and a three-foot-tall dwarf walked out. He was wearing a blue robe, his hair and beard were all white, and his face was full of wrinkles.
"I happened to see a record of it in ancient books, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes here!" Ye Changsheng said calmly.
Hearing this, the dwarf's eyes flickered and a strange look appeared on his face, but it disappeared immediately, and then he smiled:
"Fellow Daoist Ye is indeed well-informed. This dry blue ice flame is the coldest flame passed down by our ancestors of Xiaoji Palace. Its power is second only to several legendary fairy fires!"
"Fellow Daoist, do you also know about the Immortal Fire?" Ye Changsheng asked with a hint of curiosity on his face.
"I have done a lot of research on various types of fire. Naturally, I have heard of fairy fire. But unfortunately, it is said that this kind of fire does not exist in the human world!" said the dwarf with a look of regret on his face.
Hearing this, Ye Changsheng showed no , but he sneered in his heart.
This old fellow said that fairy fire did not exist in the human world, but in fact, the clue that the true fire of the sun was in the Hell of Fire was obtained from him.
The secret recipes of Cold Marrow and Huiyang Water also came from Xiaoji Palace. The great elder of Xiaoji Palace had long wanted to find the true fire of the sun and then refine Huiyang Water.
Unfortunately, although he discovered the true fire of the sun in the Hell of Fire, his strength was not enough to capture the true fire of the sun, so he had not been able to refine the Huiyang Water.
Otherwise, with this person's extraordinary talent, if he could use Huiyang Water to extend his lifespan by several hundred years, he would almost certainly be able to enter the Spirit Transformation Stage.
"I guess you are the great elder of Xiaoji Palace, Master Hanli?" Ye Changsheng asked after looking at the dwarf for a few seconds.
"Yes, I am indeed Master Hanli." The dwarf said with a smile on his face.
Then he pointed his finger, and several cushions appeared on the ground. After asking Ye Changsheng to sit down, the dwarf said softly, "I heard from Junior Sister Bai that you have an extremely cold flame in your hand?"
"Yes, by chance, Ye did obtain an extremely cold flame!" Ye Changsheng said lightly with a smile on his face.
"Oh, please forgive my intrusion, but could Fellow Daoist Ye display his extremely cold flame for me to see?" Master Hanli asked excitedly.
"Of course!"
As Ye Changsheng spoke, a ball of red flame emerged from his fingers. The flame transformed into a lively little bird, flying around Ye Changsheng happily.
This red flame should look extremely hot, but it actually emits an extremely cold aura.
"Taiyin True Fire?!"
When Master Hanli saw the fire, he could no longer sit still. He screamed and stood up suddenly.
His eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at the scarlet bird in shock.
A glimmer of desire flashed across his eyes, and Master Hanli almost couldn't suppress his inner greed and directly reached out to snatch it.
If it weren't for the legend that Ye Changsheng could be on par with the Jindan cultivators, which was like a basin of cold water that extinguished the fire in his heart, he would probably have done something irrational.
For people like them who practice the Extreme Cold Flame, the meaning of Taiyin True Fire, the top-level flame among the Extreme Cold Flames, is self-evident.
"Haha, this is indeed the Taiyin True Fire. I accidentally got a ball of it and refined it. I wonder if this kind of fire can meet the requirements of the master?" Ye Changsheng said lightly with a half-smile on his face.
Master Hanli barely suppressed the shock in his heart, his expression gradually became calm, he laughed and said:
"If even the Taiyin True Fire cannot meet my requirements, then there is no Extreme Cold Flame in this world that can meet my requirements!"
"Fellow Daoist Ye is truly blessed to possess this kind of flame. Fellow Daoist Ye is blessed, and so am I!"
Master Hanli's expression changed quickly, and he was full of smiles. He laughed and said, "I think before Fellow Daoist Ye came to my place, he had already heard the purpose of my inviting you here!"
"Yes, I heard that Fellow Daoist Hanli wanted to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, so he specifically looked for someone who possessed the Extreme Cold Flame!" Ye Changsheng said calmly.
Master Hanli nodded and said, "My current cultivation is at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, and I am only half a step away from the Spiritualization stage. But this half step has trapped me for three hundred years!"
"During this period, I have tried countless ways to break through, but all of them failed. In the end, I only had one foot in the Spiritual Transformation Stage, but the other foot could not step in!"
"The reason why I have become what I am today is because of my failure in breaking through to the Spiritual Transformation stage!" Master Hanli showed a trace of emotion on his face.
"There are so many late Nascent Soul cultivators in Dajin, but only a few Spiritual Transformation cultivators. It's obvious how difficult it is to break through this realm!"
"Fellow Daoist Hanli is truly a genius to have come this far!" Ye Changsheng showed a slight smile on his face.
Han Li laughed bitterly when he heard this: "When it comes to genius, how can I compare with Fellow Daoist Ye? Over the years, I have heard so many legends about Fellow Daoist Ye that my ears are already covered with calluses!"
"Hehe, this bottleneck of the Spirit Transformation stage that is like an insurmountable chasm for us may be as easy as walking on flat ground for Fellow Daoist Ye!" Master Hanli said with a hint of helplessness on his face.
"Fellow Daoist, you are joking. The bottleneck of the Spirit Transformation Stage is an insurmountable chasm for anyone. Although I have luckily entered the late Nascent Soul Stage, I have no confidence at all about entering the Spirit Transformation Stage!" Ye Changsheng said, shaking his head like a rattle.
His words made Master Hanli smile, and he obviously didn't believe it.
With Ye Changsheng's supernatural powers, Master Hanli had no doubt that he would be able to enter the God Transformation Stage in the future.
Moreover, the other party is still so young and has enough time to try and make mistakes again and again. As long as he tries a few more times, there will always be a chance to break through.
But people like him don't have enough time to try.
Thinking of this, Master Hanli sighed in his heart.
"If this Taiyin True Fire was in my hands, I would be able to use it to capture the Sun True Fire in the Hell of Fire, and use it to make Huiyang Water, which would be enough to prolong my life for hundreds of years, and breaking through to the Spiritual Transformation would not be a problem!" he thought to himself.
Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Master Hanli said slowly: "No matter what, since Fellow Daoist Ye has appeared here, it is great news for this old man!"
"I have been trapped here for many years. I have read many ancient books and pondered hard. Finally, I came up with this method of breaking through with the help of the extremely cold flame. With this method, I have a 30% chance of breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Stage!" Master Hanli showed a smile on his face.
If his words were spread, it would be enough to shock the entire Dajin cultivation world.
A 30% chance is truly an incredible number for many late Nascent Soul cultivators in the Dajin Dynasty.
In fact, if there is something that can increase the chance of a breakthrough to the Spiritual Transformation stage by half, it will attract these cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage to risk their lives!
With a 10% chance, it is worth mobilizing all the power of the sect and risking everything you have.
A 30% chance is a number that many people dare not even think about.
"Fellow Daoist, please tell me about your plan for a breakthrough so that I can see it for myself!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Master Hanli stroked his beard, a cautious look appeared on his face, and he said: "This method is to use five different extremely cold flames to stimulate the body at the same time, to stimulate one's potential to the greatest extent, in order to break through the realm!"
"Among these five kinds of extremely cold flames, we in Xiaoji Palace have two of them. I have also found two independent cultivators, but I have never been able to find the third person. Just when I thought there was no hope, fellow Daoist appeared!"
Master Hanli showed a hint of excitement on his face, and said: "As long as Fellow Daoist Ye joins, I can try to make a breakthrough!"
"I can help you, fellow Taoist!" Ye Changsheng's words immediately made Master Hanli's face show surprise.
But then he continued, "But Fellow Daoist Hanli will not let Ye's efforts go in vain, right?"
Hearing this, Master Hanli not only did not feel unhappy, but his face was full of joy.
As long as Ye Changsheng was willing to negotiate the price, he asked himself that with the background of Xiaoji Palace, there would be no problem in meeting some of Ye Changsheng's requirements.
The only thing he was afraid of was that he was not interested in this matter and had no intention of participating, then Master Hanli would be at a loss as to what to do.
"Please feel free to tell me what you want, Fellow Daoist Ye. I will do my best to achieve whatever I can!" Master Hanli said readily.
"In that case, I won't be polite!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile.
"First of all, I want a copy of this method of breaking through the bottleneck of the Spirit Transformation, as well as all the methods that Fellow Daoist Hanli has tried before to break through the bottleneck of the Spirit Transformation, and the detailed process of the breakthrough!" Ye Changsheng said lightly.
Upon hearing his words, Master Hanli's expression suddenly changed. After a moment, he slowly smiled bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, this request is a bit too much!"
"I won't talk about this method this time. Some of the previous methods involve some secrets of Xiaoji Palace, so it's difficult for me to use them!"
“How can a few mere secrets be compared with the grand plan of breaking through to the God Transformation stage? Fellow Daoist Hanli, you can’t be unable to tell the importance of this?” Ye Changsheng said with a chuckle.
The Xiaoji Palace inheritance has produced more than one Divine Transformation cultivator in the past, and there must be a lot of secret techniques within the sect. Ye Changsheng is quite tempted by this.
With a tangled look on his face, after hesitating for a moment, Master Hanli reluctantly said, "Fellow Daoist Ye is right. I reluctantly agree to this condition!"
Ye Changsheng nodded when he heard that. He was not afraid that Master Hanli would fool him with something fake. At their level, it was not difficult to tell whether the breakthrough method was real or fake.
"The second condition is that you have to give me a copy of your Xiaoji Palace's method of purifying the extremely cold flame!" Ye Changsheng said.
"That's no problem!" Master Hanli responded very readily.
"There is one more condition. I heard that Xiaoji Palace is a sect passed down from ancient times. I have admired it for a long time. I want to take a look at the ancient secret books in the scripture library of Xiaoji Palace. Fellow Daoist Hanli will not object, right?" Ye Changsheng asked with a chuckle.
Hearing his words, Master Hanli's expression changed. Ye Changsheng's request was another one that exceeded his bottom line.
But on second thought, since I had agreed to the first request, there was no need to reject this one.
Anyway, the most core secret book of Xiaoji Palace could not appear in the Sutra Library.
"Okay, I agree!"
"Okay, in that case, then I, Ye, will lend a helping hand to you. I hope that in our human world, we can have another fellow Taoist who has reached the Spirit Transformation Stage!" Ye Changsheng said with a laugh.
Master Hanli also smiled heartily and said immediately: "I will give you a copy of the secret technique of refining the extremely cold flame right now!"
As he spoke, he took out a white jade slip and began to copy .
After a moment, he finished copying, and then took out a jade pendant from the storage bag and threw it to Ye Changsheng.
Ye Changsheng sucked the two items into his hands, and immediately heard Master Hanli say: "With this jade pendant, you can enter the Sutra Library of our Xiaoji Palace!"
"However, this jade pendant has a time limit. You can only watch it for one month. After one month, the jade pendant will become ineffective. If you want to enter again, you will be blocked by restrictions!"
"One month? Haha, fellow Daoist, you really don't want to suffer any loss. Okay, one month is just one month!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile when he heard this.
"It's the same for you. Brother Ye really asked for a very high price just now!" Master Hanli gave a cunning smile.
"That's it, I'll leave now!"
"I'm sorry I can't see you off so far!"
