Just as the battle outside Xiaoji Palace began, within the hurricane among the rocks in the Xuanyu Cave, Han Li made a hand seal with his hands and sprayed a wisp of unusually slender purple flame into a half-foot-sized purple lotus.
In a giant ball of light not far ahead.
In addition to Han Li's violet extreme fire sprayed on it, this ball of light also had three wisps of cold flames of black, white, yellow, and green shot on it. It was the old woman and others sitting in other lotus flowers who sprayed it.
The extremely cold flames.
It's just that at this time, the five people, including Han Li, seemed to be in low spirits and their faces were slightly pale.
On the surface of the light ball in the middle of the array, flames of various colors flowed erratically, and there was a faint figure sitting cross-legged inside.
This man is about ten feet tall and has an abnormally tall build. He does not seem to be the Master Hanli. Looking at his face, he is a monk who looks like a strong man in his thirties, but his face and appearance are friendly.
It turns out that Master Hanli is very similar. It seems that Master Hanli was dozens of years younger and suddenly returned to his appearance in his prime.
This is really a strange situation.
However, the strong man in front of him had an unusually strong and naked upper body. On his shoulders, chest, back neck, lower abdomen and other key parts, there were a pair of short silver blades inserted into each other, which seemed to penetrate half of the body, but there was a drop of blood on the wound.
No blood was shed.
The most eye-catching thing is not here, but the strong man's eyes are slightly closed, and several inches long light insects of various colors are actually using the strong man's body as a nest, constantly drilling in and out through the skin.
Every time a small insect burrowed in, the strong man's body trembled, and his face showed pain, as if he was undergoing some great torture.
But if you look carefully, you will be surprised to find that these so-called small bugs are actually the condensed and transformed form of extremely cold flames of various colors. Every time the light bugs drill in and out, their size will shrink by a circle.
But when it is small enough, the light bug will make a soft "bang" sound and collapse into nothing. A ray of flame of the same color will immediately fly from the light ball outside, and then condense into another one nearby.
The light worm then burrowed into the strong man's body.
This cycle goes on and on.
At this time, if any monk looks into the strong man's body, he will be surprised to find that in his Dantian, there is a three-inch Nascent Soul that looks like a strong man, making secrets with both hands, and his whole body is covered by layers of blue ice flames.
, but the strips of light worms that penetrated the body from the outside turned a blind eye to these blue flames, directly separated the blue flames, drilled in from Yuanying's slightly open nose, and then drilled out of the mouth after a while, and then drilled out the strong man.
's body.
Yuanying's face was expressionless, but the blue flames on his body flickered dimly and brightly, making him appear mysterious and unusual.
After an unknown amount of time, the strong man trembled violently and suddenly opened his eyes.
Han Li and others, who originally spewed out extremely cold flames, seemed to have received some signal. Almost at the same time, the magic in their hands changed. The cold flames of various colors that were originally hovering on the light ball suddenly rolled back, and the light lotus under them also
The collapse disappeared. Then some of them took the elixir, some took out the spiritual stones, and they all closed their eyes and adjusted their breathing.
Such a scene has happened to them more than ten times in the past few days. Each time, almost half of the mana in their bodies has been depleted. But fortunately, several of them are wealthy people, and they have adjusted their breath through various spiritual pills and spiritual stones.
Under this condition, it only takes half a day for the scenery to return to its original state.
Seeing Han Li and others withdrawing the cold flames, the strong man sitting cross-legged in the ball of light closed his eyes again, as if he had begun to meditate.
As time passed, the old woman suddenly opened her eyes, looked at the strong man in the ball of light, and sighed deeply.
"I really admire Brother Hanli for being able to endure the pain of five flames washing the marrow. Although he deliberately controlled the power of the cold flames, this feeling makes life worse than death. It seems that Brother Hanli must be practicing something.
It’s a special body-building technique. Otherwise, the body would have collapsed long ago. This cannot be sustained by just relying on strong spiritual thoughts."
"Mrs. Long is indeed knowledgeable! Senior Brother Hanli did practice a secret body-building technique in his early years, and his body is much tougher than ordinary monks." The middle-aged man in blue shirt then opened his eyes and smiled slightly.
.
"No wonder it's like this. However, we have used cold flames to cleanse the marrow of fellow Taoist Hanli several times to stimulate all his potential. It is estimated that both the body and the soul of fellow Taoist Master have reached their limits, and now they are just short of the final breakthrough.
It's closed. Whether it can be successful or not is a matter of these two days." The gray-robed monk also spoke, with a solemn look on his face.
"However, the black jade cold energy in the magic circle seems to be somewhat insufficient. We need to temporarily stop the magic circle and replenish some from the outside." Han Li said calmly from the side.
"Hey! I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Han to understand this secret technique to such an extent, and even see it. Yes, you really need to regroup the surrounding Xuanyu cold energy before crossing the barrier." The ball of light passed the ball.
Master Hanli was surprised to hear that he was full of energy.
Han Li's heart trembled, and he turned around to look.
I saw Master Hanli standing up at some point, and his figure was slowly rising out of the milky white cold light. However, the five short blades inserted into his body fell off at some point and disappeared, and there was no wound at all where they were inserted.
, coupled with the faint smile on the face of a man in his prime, it actually looks a bit strange.
"It's nothing, Han just made a casual guess." Han Li laughed and responded casually.
"Oh, Brother Han has been watching so far. I wonder what chance I have of hitting the bottleneck this time. Let's see if it is different from what I expected." Master Han Li casually picked up a bag from his storage bag.
He put a blue robe on his body and continued to ask Han Li intriguingly.
"Fellow Taoist, you are joking. This secret technique was created by your fellow Taoist. How could I predict it more accurately than your fellow daoist?" Han Li's expression remained unchanged, but he replied lightly.
Master Hanli laughed and asked no more questions, but his body was suspended in the air, his fingers flicked, and several spells were shot out, disappearing into the surrounding light curtain in a flash.
Suddenly, there was a strange buzzing sound from the surrounding magic circle, and then stopped at the same time.
The five light pillars disappeared in an instant, and Han Li and five others fell from the void at the same time.
There was no light curtain and hurricane outside, and the milky white cold light swept towards everyone again in an instant. However, the cold flames of a few people who had been prepared once again emerged from their bodies and protected themselves within it.
"In the next day, I will slightly change the magic circle, and then re-gather some of the cold air. Several fellow Taoists will take this opportunity to have a good rest. At this time tomorrow, I hope that all of you will help me break through the bottleneck. If
If it really succeeds, I will never break my promise to you all." Master Han Li stretched his body and said to Han Li, who cupped his hands with everyone, with a look of sincerity on his brows.
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist Master. Since we have agreed to this matter, we will definitely do our best. Besides, if this secret technique is effective against the impact of the divine transformation stage, I might be able to use it someday." The old woman laughed.
road.
"If the poor monk can enter the late Nascent Soul stage by chance, this method may also be our chance." The gray-robed monk said calmly.
Han Li nodded slightly and said nothing.
But Master Hanli seemed to be very satisfied with the performance of the three of them. After thanking them loudly, he began to make some changes to the magic circle.
Han Li and the others first returned to the stone house of the Sun Stone to rest.
Even though they have recovered their mana, they are very tired from controlling the extremely cold flames for several days and they really need to take a good rest.
The day passed quickly.
When Han Li and others walked out of the stone house again, Master Hanli had already closed his eyes and meditated in the cold air mass in the magic circle. The milky white cold mass was several times larger than yesterday.
It seems that he is indeed very careful.
As for the middle-aged man in green shirt and Bai Mengxin, they also went back shortly after they entered the stone house. Only Master Hanli stayed outside the stone house all day and night.
Just when Han Li was about to take a closer look at the specific changes in the formation in front of him, he suddenly heard a surprised voice coming from the monk's mouth, which seemed a little surprised and a little stunned.
Han Li glanced back and saw the monk looking up into the sky with a strange look on his face.
His expression changed, and he quickly looked around, only to see his face change slightly.
The previously vaguely visible entrance disappeared without knowing when, and the giant cauldron used to open the passage even disappeared.
"Fellow Daoist Hanli, what does this mean?" Seeing this scene, the old woman lost her temper, and there was a look of vigilance on her face.
"Haha, you fellow Taoists don't need to filter. Because I don't want to be disturbed by any unexpected things, so I have temporarily closed this entrance. And for the breakthrough below, I am afraid that Master will have to use this 'Qianlan Cauldron'
Power." Master Hanli didn't panic at all, and replied with a smile in the cold crowd.
"That's it!" The monk and the old woman looked at each other with a slight hesitation, but Han Li half-closed his eyes and stared into the sky in silence for a while.
The atmosphere in the cave became a little tense for a moment.
"It seems that I didn't think well and made some fellow Taoists uneasy. Then I don't need this cauldron. Although the entrance will still be temporarily closed, I will place the dry blue cauldron at the entrance. What do the fellow Taoists think?
Master Hanli smiled and said to Han Li and the others in a pleasant manner.
Then he flicked his sleeves, and a ball of blue flames wrapped around the small cauldron and flew straight into the sky. In the blink of an eye, it flew to a height of more than hundreds of feet and hovered motionless below the entrance.
Seeing this scene, although Han Li and the others still had no doubts in their minds, they were naturally relieved to see that the small cauldron that could control the entrance was so far away from Master Hanli.
After thinking for a while, the old woman finally softened her expression and laughed dryly:
"Fellow Taoist Han Li is too worried. How could the three of us doubt you? It was just strange for a moment. Let's seize the time and help our fellow Taoist master break through the bottleneck!"
After saying this, the old woman swayed and flew into the magic circle without waiting for anyone else to speak.
