"I can't accept this," Daoist Xie said in an indifferent voice as he slowly shifted his gaze away from Slash Lightning.
"Fellow Daoist Xie, you've helped me a lot on this journey from the Spirit Realm to the True Immortal Realm. Even though this is a contract, it's still an act of kindness.
On top of that, there will most likely be many things that I'll need you to do in the future. With this saber, your combat prowess will also improve significantly, which is a good thing for me, "Han Li replied. He was well aware of Daoist Xie's personality, so he wasn't surprised to hear this.
"Alright," Daoist Xie nodded after a brief moment of contemplation.
He accepted the saber as he spoke, then gripped onto the hilt with both hands as a hint of golden lightning flashed through his eyes.
All of the lightning patterns on the black saber began to radiate dazzling golden light, and layers of golden lightning surged forth in a frenzy. This saber was countless times more powerful than when Han Li was experimenting with it.
"I'll be sure to repay you for what you've done today," Daoist Xie said as he stowed the saber away.
Han Li nodded with a smile and didn't say anything further.
"Black Earth Immortal Realm … Could it be that Daoist Xie's master was from the Black Earth Immortal Realm in the past?"
After a brief moment of contemplation, Han Li began to look through the other items.
On this occasion, his gaze fell upon a small white jade Pixiu.
The Pixiu appeared to be a toy for mortals, and its skin was slightly yellow in color and had a warm sheen to it.
"Are you going to show yourself, or do you want me to beat you into revealing your true form?" Han Li asked with a smile as a blue light flashed through his eyes.
As his voice fell, the Pi Xiu was still quietly lying in the same place, as if it was a dead thing.
"Seeing as you refuse to yield until you're faced with the grim reality … Then don't blame me for being merciless," Han Li said in a cold voice as his eyes narrowed slightly.
After about two breaths of time, the White Jade Pi Xiu finally moved. Its body suddenly lit up with a sparkling light, and its body rapidly grew, turning into a white beast the size of a house.
"A mere Golden Immortal dares to …" The white jade Pixiu opened its cavernous mouth.
However, before he could finish his sentence, he froze on the spot.
Three Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords had appeared around his neck at some point. The tips of the swords were pointed at his throat, flickering with golden lightning.
Obviously, so long as the White Jade Pi Xiu moved slightly, the three sharp blades would chop off its head.
"Aiyo … You're really … Fighting and killing is so boring. Let's sit down and have a chat."
As he spoke, the White-Jade Pixiu's figure swiftly shrunk to the size of a house dog, and it lay down before Han Li as it spoke in a subservient manner.
The three Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords continued to circle it like a shadow, and their might did not weaken in the slightest.
"You should be Gong Shu Jiu's spirit pet, right?
Your aura isn't weak. When we were fighting Gongshu Jiu, why didn't you help him? "Han Li's expression didn't change as he slowly asked.
I'm a True Spirit of the Wilderness, and he wants to keep me as a pet?
He … what qualifications does he have to treat me as a spirit pet?
He's just relying on his long lifespan and high cultivation to force me to follow him. "The White-Jade Pi Xiu immediately became furious.
"Answer my question first. Why didn't you help?" Han Li's expression turned cold as he asked.
"Why else … Because I can't beat you even if I help.
One of you has the Law of Time, the other has the Law of Reincarnation, and there's also an old monster whose strength I can't see. Gong Shu Jiu is muddle-headed, and I won't follow him to death, "the White-Jade Pi Xiu said resentfully.
"If you don't help him, he won't have any countermeasures to drag you down?" Han Li asked suspiciously.
"He wants to, hehe … But he can't do it. As long as I don't sign a contract with him, he can only kill me directly. There's nothing he can do to restrict me," the White-Jade Pi Xiu said proudly.
Wasn't your current body sealed by him using a secret technique?
Otherwise, with your True Spirit body, how could you turn into a small object and be placed in a storage bag? You can't escape even if you want to. "Han Li raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"That, that's because …" The White-Jade Pi Xiu was at a loss for words.
"Tell me, what ability do you have to make him look at you in a different light and not place a death restriction on you?" Han Li changed the topic and asked.
"Cough, I'll tell you the truth. I have a talent, which is to gather wealth from all directions. These years, I've accumulated a lot of wealth for Gong Shu Jiu. That's why he doesn't want to kill me." The White-Jade Pi Xiu shook his head and said.
"If you're not willing to tell me the truth, I don't mind killing you. After all, your True Spirit blood is still of some use to me." Han Li's gaze slanted and he looked at the Pi Xiu with ill intentions.
"Hey, hey, don't … Why are all of you humans so cunning?
I'm indeed lucky in wealth. I can help you find some hidden treasures of heaven and earth.
And as my strength increases, this talent will improve even more. "The White-Jade Pi Xiu was shocked and said quickly.
"Oh, there's plenty of time to verify this in the future.
Tell me, do you want to sign a True Spirit contract with me or provide me with True Spirit blood? "Han Li nodded and said.
"Do I have a choice … But you're much more pleasing to the eye than that old man Gong Shu Jiu …" The White-Jade Pi Xiu looked at the sword hovering beside him and the Time Spiritual Domain that enveloped the surroundings and said bitterly.
Seeing this, Han Li's mouth curled up slightly. He raised his other hand and pointed at the White-Jade Pi Xiu's eyebrows …
After signing the contract, the White-Jade Pi Xiu took the initiative to say,
"Master, now we're on the same boat. Let me remind you, destroy that thing first."
Han Li looked in the direction it was pointing at and saw a dazzling golden hollow disc. His heart stirred and he asked, "What is it?
"It's the thing that old man Gong Shu Jiu uses to contact the other inspectors and inspectors of the Heavenly Court.
With this thing, once the Heavenly Court knows that something happened to Gong Shu Jiu, they will find this thing. "The White-Jade Pi Xiu explained.
Han Li made a grabbing motion and drew the hollow disk into his hand before carefully inspecting it.
After a while, his face suddenly turned cold. He asked coldly, "Once this thing is destroyed, I'm afraid the Heavenly Court will know immediately. Why do you want me to destroy it?"
"If I destroy it with ordinary methods, this will naturally be the result.
But if you let me do it, there won't be any future troubles.
Don't worry, we've already signed the contract. If you die, how can I have a good ending? "The White-Jade Pi Xiu said angrily.
When Han Li heard this, he handed over the disk with a skeptical expression.
As a result, he saw the White-Jade Pi Xiu open its mouth and swallow the hollow disc directly into its stomach.
The White-Jade Pi Xiu smacked its lips and said proudly, "I was born without an anus. My stomach is a world of its own.
Once this communication disc is in my stomach, it will be completely isolated from this world. No one will be able to find a trace of it. "The White-Jade Pi Xiu smacked its lips and said proudly.
"Your stomach is simply a must-have item for killing people and destroying corpses … This is your real talent, right?" Han Li's expression changed slightly and he said with a hint of mockery.
"Don't think of throwing anything dirty into my stomach. I don't eat anything that isn't a treasure!"
The White-Jade Pi Xiu knew that it had said something wrong in front of this guy. After being stunned for a while, it said with some annoyance.
When Han Li saw this, a faint smile appeared on his face and he continued to look through Gongshu Jiu's belongings.
The White-Jade Pi Xiu was actually very familiar with Gong Shu Jiu's treasures. It was a great help when it counted with him.
After that, there were a lot of spirit materials and spirit medicines, and the grade was even higher. There was also an incomplete map of the Celestial Realm, which included many areas of the Northern Frost Celestial Realm.
Among them, what surprised Han Li the most was that there were actually two objects that contained the power of the law of time.
One of them was a round fruit with dense golden dots on the surface. The other was a broken dagger that was about a foot long with runes engraved on it.
The sun gradually set in the west, and the sky had already become dusky. It was almost evening.
Han Li had unknowingly spent most of the day just counting the spoils of war.
He stretched his body and let out a long sigh. Like a rich landlord, he revealed a satisfied smile.
After a while, he waved his hand, and a golden light spun around and landed on the ground.
An eight or nine-year-old girl emerged from it. She staggered and spun a few times on the ground, then sat down on the ground.
Han Li hurriedly looked at her and saw that her two small cheeks were flushed, and her pigtails were swaying non-stop. Her eyelids were drooping, and she was yawning non-stop. She looked as if she hadn't woken up yet.
"Uncle, you're disturbing my sleep …" Jintong rubbed his sleepy eyes, but he didn't want to open his eyes at all. He muttered discontentedly.
"Don't sleep. Get up and eat something," Han Li said with a smile.
"What do you want to eat …" Hearing that there was food to eat, Jin Tong barely opened his eyes and asked with his half-closed eyes.
With that said, Han Li waved his sleeve, summoning eighteen magic treasures that shined with various-colored light. They pulsed with intense spiritual power and appeared on the ground, including the white stone pillars that Jin Tong hadn't finished eating.
"Wow, so many …" Jintong's eyes lit up. This time, she was completely awake.
Her figure flashed, and there was an afterimage in the forest, and she had already arrived in front of the magic treasures.
She was hugging a stone pillar and patting it up and down, her face full of joy.
At this moment, as if she suddenly thought of something, her face suddenly darkened, and she looked at Han Li suspiciously.
