Han Li looked at the spherical silver box and the golden talisman on it, and his face showed a look of contemplation.
After a long while, he suddenly raised his hand and launched a few symbols in one breath, unlocking the talisman's enchantment, and tore it off.
Then there was a light "click" sound.
The moment the silver box was opened, a heat wave surged out of the box, spreading in all directions, and the temperature of the entire room suddenly rose.
Han Li took a closer look and found that in the silver box, there were three round beads the size of longan nuclei, and their colors were "red, orange, and purple".
"Could this be the Seven Color Fire Cinnabar?" Han Li's eyes flickered slightly, and he was puzzled, but he couldn't determine for a while.
After all, according to the ancient records, the Seven Color Fire Cinnabar had a total of seven colors, corresponding to the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. It was an extremely rare fire attribute item, and its power was stronger than any heavenly fire. It was truly an item that could burn the heavens and refine the earth.
Furthermore, this item was born from heaven and earth, and it could be born hundreds of thousands of feet up in the sky, or it could also be deep underground in the Ninth Hell Valley. There was no way to trace it, and no one could refine it. It was a treasure of heaven and earth that was comparable to a Profound Heavenly Treasure.
There were only three round beads in front of him, and except for the suffocating heat wave that was released, there seemed to be nothing special, so he was a little uncertain.
Just as Han Li was contemplating what he should do next, a ball of silver light suddenly lit up on his shoulder, and the miniature silver flame humanoid figure emerged before scampering toward the silver box, then circled around it with an ecstatic look on its face.
"Why, do you want to eat this?" Han Li was slightly startled, and asked.
The little silver flame man turned around and waved at him, as if afraid that Han Li didn't understand, and nodded heavily. From time to time, he would look back at the three round beads, as if he was afraid that they would disappear in the blink of an eye.
"Actually, it's okay to let you eat it, but the characteristics of this item are unknown … How about this, you can only eat one first, and if it's good for you, I'll let you eat the other two." Han Li's heart moved slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said so.
Hearing this, the little silver flame man was so happy that a flower almost bloomed on his face. After nodding heavily at Han Li, he hurriedly turned to the silver box.
It walked around the silver box, as if it was hesitating to eat one first, and couldn't make up its mind.
Seeing this, Han Li felt a little funny, but he didn't urge it. He just put it on the silver box.
If it was Jin Tong, he naturally wouldn't be at ease. That fellow would most likely swallow it whole, but this Essence Flame Firebird had always listened to him, so he didn't have to worry too much.
Gongshu Tian's Fire Dragon Greatsword and the ten Fire Banners were all stored in his storage bracelet. There were still seven or eight magic treasures left in his storage bracelet, but most of them were immortal treasures that were not ranked.
There were still seven or eight magic treasures left in his storage bracelet, but most of them were immortal weapons. There was only a golden hollow bell, which should be a ninth-grade immortal weapon.
It should be a ninth-grade immortal weapon, and it also contained some power of the law of time. After Han Li refined it, he found that when it vibrated, there would be golden ripples on the bell. Those who were swept by it would have their divine sense stagnant. If their cultivation base was lower than the early-stage Primordial Unity, or if their divine sense was not strong enough, they would even be unable to move as if they were locked by a restriction.
However, the effect of this object on those who cultivated time cultivation methods and those who were above the mid-stage Primordial Unity was greatly weakened. Presumably, this was why Gongshu Tian didn't use it to deal with Han Li.
After Han Li put away all the magic treasures, he turned back to look at the Refined Flame Firebird. He found that it had one hand on the red bead, and the other on the orange bead. Its eyes were fixed on the purple bead, and it still hadn't made a choice.
After a wry smile, he flipped his palm, and a white talisman appeared in the palm of his hand.
He found this thing on the top of Gong Shutian's head. Previously, he felt that it was emitting a strange aura, somewhat similar to the power of the divine sense. Now that he had refined it, he was surprised to find that it was an eighth-grade immortal weapon used to defend against divine sense attacks.
Previously, Gong Shutian was able to withstand his divine sense cage attack by relying on this thing.
However, with his cultivation base, he couldn't exert the true strength of this treasure, because this treasure had a special characteristic, which was that it relied on the power of the divine sense. The stronger the divine sense of the user, the more powerful the power of this treasure.
Han Li pinched the white talisman and pointed it between his eyebrows. A white light converged, and the talisman integrated into his sea of consciousness, turning into a snow-white mountain peak standing in the middle.
The talisman patterns on it flickered, and in the middle, a string of golden characters appeared:
"Divine Peak Suppressing Talisman"
Then, Han Li's heart moved slightly. A golden light flashed in the palm of his hand, and a golden disc appeared in the palm of his hand.
As soon as this object appeared, a strong fluctuation of the law of time immediately rippled in the quiet room. The little silver flame person, who was originally struggling to choose which bead to pick, was also attracted by it. It turned its head and looked at Han Li's direction.
However, after looking for a moment, it turned back to pick the bead again.
Han Li's palm gently stroked the golden disc, and he found that it was engraved with dense talisman patterns. The golden needle inserted in the middle was still rotating. Every time it rotated, a layer of golden light flowed across the surface of the disc.
His heart moved slightly, and he wanted to refine it. However, when he tried, he was surprised to find that he couldn't refine it.
"How could this be … Is it because the grade of this treasure is too high?
Normal refinement mantras won't work? "Just as he was wondering, Han Li suddenly felt a strong fluctuation coming from behind him, and he hurriedly turned around.
The miniature silver flame humanoid figure was clenching its fists tightly as it roared with all its might into the sky. Red light was shooting out of its eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, causing the concealment formation he had set up to tremor violently.
Han Li waved a hand, and the silver box on the ground flew back into his hand. Of the three beads inside, only the orange and purple beads were left. The crimson bead had clearly been swallowed by the Flame Bird.
After he put the silver box away, he heard a loud "boom" sound, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently, but it was blocked by the formation that he had set up.
Looking toward the source of the sound, he saw that the little silver flame person had spread its arms and legs wide open. There was a burst of red light surging over its body, and its entire body suddenly swelled at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, transforming into its Flame Bird form again.
It was as if its body was covered by a layer of crimson fire, and the silver and crimson flames intertwined in an incomparably gorgeous manner. The bursts of scorching power coming from it made even Han Li feel extremely shocked.
"Bang, bang, bang."
A series of strange booms rang out, and the spell formation that Han Li had set up completely crumbled, causing the entire bamboo building to tremor violently.
Magic Light, who was on the second floor of the bamboo house, was shaken by the waves of heat and fluctuations. His eyes suddenly opened, and he stood up from the ground. A trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he flew out of the bamboo house, taking the initiative to avoid the scorching fire.
The walls and ground in the quiet room were being scorched by the waves of flames, and the color of the surface quickly became dry. It looked like it would not be able to withstand the scorching heat and would explode.
Han Li was shocked, and he hurriedly used his magic power to form layers of green light barriers, forcibly suppressing the fire released by the Flame Bird.
At the same time, the entire sea of bamboo in the secret realm began to tremor, and large swaths of bamboo leaves fell to the ground.
Along with this, wisps of spiritual energy in the bamboo forest were continuously transported to the bamboo building through the underground roots. The bamboo walls that had been scorched dry by the heat began to become moist again.
Within the pond in front of the bamboo house, waves surged violently, and all of the golden lotuses swayed incessantly while releasing large amounts of white spirit mist that enshrouded the entire bamboo house.
The mist was extremely hazy and indistinguishable, and from afar, it was like an immortal realm.
Daoist Xie, who was situated on the newly built bamboo house in the spirit medicine garden, was also awakened from his cultivation, and he stood on the roof of the building as he looked toward the direction of the Flame Bird.
Within the bamboo house, the crimson and silver flames intertwined around the Flame Bird's body, and the crimson flames gradually faded as the two flames converged.
Han Li was slightly relieved to see this, and he began to set up new restrictions around the Flame Bird.
After a long while, the intertwining flames on the Flame Bird's body completely receded, transforming into a silver ball with crimson patterns all over its body that hovered in mid-air.
Han Li was ecstatic to see the flashing crimson patterns on the silver ball.
This time, he had really picked up a treasure. Those three beads were most likely the rumored "Seven Colored Fire Cinnabar".
However, judging from the Flame Bird's current condition, it most likely wouldn't be able to awaken anytime soon.
After informing Magic Light, who had already fled into the distance, about what to do next, he left the bamboo house for the spirit medicine garden.
"Fellow Daoist Han, what was that powerful firepower just now?" Daoist Xie asked.
"The Essence Flame Bird consumed a Rainbow Fire Cinnabar." Han Li didn't conceal the truth.
"That was the treasure?
No wonder it caused such a huge commotion, "Daoist Xie exclaimed.
"Fellow Daoist Xie, there are some storage treasures here, but I don't have time to look through them right now, so I'll have to trouble you to check them out for me.
Aside from treasures related to the laws of time, you can take anything that suits you; there's no need to discuss it with me, "Han Li said with a smile.
"Alright, leave it to me," Daoist Xie replied with a nod.
Han Li waved a hand through the air, and a large pile of storage bracelets and rings appeared in front of Daoist Xie.
Even Daoist Xie was quite surprised to see this.
Han Li chuckled internally before bidding farewell to Daoist Xie, then headed to the spirit medicine garden to plant all of the spirit medicines that he had obtained earlier.
After that, he picked an empty plot of land and planted the remaining root of the Twin Life Tree, then watered it with some spirit liquid that he had concocted.
Even though he knew that it wasn't very likely that he would be able to revive the tree, he didn't have the small vial of green liquid that he could use, so this was his only option.
Due to the fact that he was worried that something might happen after he left the secret realm, Han Li didn't dare to linger any longer, and he waved a hand to summon the silver gate before him before stepping out of the cave abode.
