Several days later, Miao Xiu, without making a big show of it, brought only a few trusted San Miao clansmen to the Gray Lizard Clan's camp, respectfully inviting Han Li and the other two to return to Youhe City with them.

Han Li and the others were prepared for this. Seeing this, they bid farewell to Xi Yan and the others and headed towards the San Miao Clan's camp.

Seeing the Immortals depart, the old patriarch of the Gray Lizard Clan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Through Miao Xiu's words, he had already learned that the two people who were previously in their group, and the one who suddenly appeared later, were all extremely distinguished. He thought to himself that if he had done better, perhaps he could have forged a great karmic connection.

Just as he was secretly regretting it, he saw Miao Kui quickly return to their side. He came before Xi Yan and respectfully bowed.

"You mustn't, you mustn't..." Xi Yan was flattered and quickly returned the courtesy.

"I was impolite to the patriarch before, please forgive me, Patriarch Xi Yan. The Gray Lizard Clan has made great contributions to this conference, and the eldest Miss has ordered us to present two thousand Gray Crystals as a reward. After returning, we will also ask the Lord to allocate a portion of the Water Tiger Clan's habitat to your Gray Lizard Clan," Miao Kui said.

Xi Yan was stunned upon hearing this, then his eyes became slightly moist, and he was about to kneel down and kowtow to thank them for their great kindness.

"Patriarch Xi Yan, there's no need to do this. Those three distinguished guests praised you highly. You can be considered to have helped our Black Tooth Domain forge a karmic connection. The Gray Lizard Tribe deserves this reward," Miao Kui said, stopping him.

"Thank you, Immortal, thank you, Eldest Miss, thank you, Envoy Miao..." Xi Yan repeatedly thanked them, bowing repeatedly.

On the other side, Han Li and the others had followed Miao Xiu back to the other side of the lake, where a huge three-story ship was docked. The entire ship was as black as ink, with upturned eaves and many sharp protrusions. Intricate and peculiar patterns were engraved on it. Although it lacked brilliant colors, it still gave people a sense of extreme luxury.

In front of the ship, three giant beasts, each about ten zhang tall, were lying prone. Their appearance resembled warhorses, but they had white exoskeletons and a spiral horn on their cheeks, and four gray-black giant fleshy wings on their backs, which were tightly pressed against their sides.

"This Armor-Horse Ship can travel above the Heavenly Clouds. The speed may not be as fast as your flying magical treasures, but fortunately, it is relatively stable. I have cleared out all the guest rooms on the third floor, and you can live there without worry," Miao Xiu said to Mo Guang after boarding the ship.

"Thank you for your trouble," Mo Guang said with a gentle smile, nodding to Miao Xiu.

Then, Miao Xiu led Han Li and the others towards the third floor, chatting casually with Mo Guang. Han Li and Shi Chuan Kong stood by Mo Guang's left and right sides with their heads lowered, looking as if they were following Mo Guang's lead and didn't say a word.

While Miao Xiu was talking to Mo Guang, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally swept over Han Li, seeming to carry a hint of doubt. Han Li acted as if he didn't see it and ignored it.

After the three of them went up to the third floor of the ship, they each chose a guest room and moved in. After Miao Xiu bid farewell and left, she ordered the ship to set sail.

The eyes of the three giant Gray-Winged Armor-Horses lit up with a gray light. Their four hooves ran forward for a while, causing the huge ship to rush forward for more than a thousand zhang. Their huge gray wings spread out and flapped violently, creating a strong white airflow under their wings.

Supported by the powerful airflow, the Armor-Horses and the ship flew into the sky together, directly into the thick cloud layer.

Han Li stayed in his guest room and looked out from the window. He only felt the black mist pervading, and the baleful aura was so strong that he couldn't see anything.

He frowned and waved his hand, covering the windows with a layer of cyan light, blocking all the strong baleful aura coming from outside.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the San Miao clansmen, Han Li did not arrange any restrictive formations with strong spiritual power fluctuations in the room, but only arranged some simple formations to conceal his aura.

By the time he finished arranging this, the Armor-Horse Ship seemed to have finally rushed out of the thick baleful clouds and reached above the clouds.

The black mist outside the window disappeared, and the view suddenly became clear. Han Li put away the barrier he had created and looked out.

He saw that the sky, no longer obscured by baleful clouds, was still gray. Three round suns hung high in the sky, emitting a white light. Although they didn't feel cold, they didn't have much heat, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.

However, the baleful aura above the clouds was obviously much weaker, which made Han Li feel much more relaxed than on the ground.

After sitting quietly for a moment, the voice of Xie Dao Ren suddenly sounded in his mind:

"Fellow Daoist Han, I have finished counting the storage magical treasures you asked me to count. Would you like to see them?"

"Of course," Han Li said with a smile.

With that, he waved his hand, and a silver light gate opened not far in front of him. Xie Dao Ren stepped out of the bamboo building and entered the guest room.

The two of them sat down at the round table in the room, and Han Li took out a pot of Hundred Flower Brew.

Since coming to the Gray World, he had rarely had any leisure time. Now he finally had the mood to pour himself a few cups and chat with Xie Dao Ren.

"I finished counting the things in those storage magical treasures the day before yesterday. There are 15,317 Supreme Spirit Stones, 58,313 Immortal Essence Stones in total, and 321 Medium-Grade Immortal Essence Stones. They are all here," Xie Dao Ren said, taking out a white storage bracelet and placing it on the table.

These storage magical treasures almost all came from the True Word Sect ruins. Those Heavenly Court soldiers and True Word Sect disciples were mostly in the early to late stages of True Immortal Realm. They didn't use Supreme Spirit Stones much, and very few of them had Medium-Grade Immortal Essence Stones. Most of them naturally used ordinary Immortal Essence Stones.

Han Li didn't rush to take the storage bracelet. He just took a sip of Hundred Flower Brew and waited quietly for Xie Dao Ren to continue.

"Here are some miscellaneous array items, including various array plates and array flags, as well as some large array stones and spirit pattern pillars. I selected some and buried them around the bamboo building in the spirit medicine garden, turning this place into another main array eye besides the pond bamboo building. However, the structure of the Flower Branch Cave Heaven is very precise, and this array eye doesn't have much room to play a role," Xie Dao Ren continued.

"That's good, thank you, Fellow Daoist Xie," Han Li said with a smile, nodding.

"This contains some Immortal Artifacts, of various attributes. There are more than two hundred Immortal Artifacts, but only one Thunder-attribute battle saber is of high grade. I hope Fellow Daoist Han can lend it to me temporarily, no... I hope Fellow Daoist Han can sell it to me. You can set the price, and I will repay you later," Xie Dao Ren continued.

As he spoke, he placed another black storage bracelet on the table and took out a long, narrow black battle saber.

Han Li glanced over and saw that the saber body was covered with spiritual patterns. Seven dragon-eye-sized purple beads were inlaid from top to bottom, with faint lightning patterns flashing inside. It was actually an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact.

Seeing that Han Li didn't speak, Xie Dao Ren flicked his palm, and a current surged into the battle saber. The seven beads on the saber body suddenly shone brightly with purple light, and strands of purplish-gold lightning intertwined, emitting strong fluctuations.

Han Li's eyes jumped, and he quickly suppressed the fluctuations, signaling Xie Dao Ren to put it away.

"I won't lend or sell this to you..."

As soon as Han Li said these words, a look of disappointment flashed across Xie Dao Ren's eyes, but then he returned to normal and raised his hand to place the battle saber on the round table.

However, before he could put it down, Han Li pressed his hand over and stopped him.

"I can give you this saber, but I hope you can tell me some things truthfully," Han Li said slowly, looking at Xie Dao Ren.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Xie Dao Ren's eyes. He moved his gaze over the battle saber for a long while before nodding.

"Have you recovered most of your memories?" Han Li asked.

"Indeed, there are many more memories in my mind, but most of them are chaotic. I have been trying to sort them out clearly, but I have no clue for the time being. If you want to ask about these, Fellow Daoist Han, then I really can't answer," Xie Dao Ren said, shaking his head.

"What is the wish that your master wants me to fulfill?" Han Li frowned slightly and continued to ask.

"Fellow Daoist Han, it's not that I'm deliberately hiding it. The memories I recovered before didn't specifically state this matter. What I can be sure of is that this matter must not be easy," Xie Dao Ren said with a bitter smile.

"This... Asking is the same as not asking. Forget it... Put the battle saber away," Han Li said helplessly.

Xie Dao Ren hesitated slightly, but still put away the battle saber and said:

"This saber has the inscription 'Duanxiao' on it, which should be its name. Looking at its forging method and the patterns on it, it should have the same origin as the previous 'Zhanting', but the era seems to be earlier, and the quality is also higher. Both are equally precious, and I will definitely repay Fellow Daoist Han for this kindness in the future."

Han Li didn't speak, but just waved his hand and put away the storage bracelet.

"I have collected the elixirs and spiritual herbs from these people in this storage ring. There are many good things inside, but I don't know much about them, so I'll leave it to you to check it yourself," Xie Dao Ren said after a pause.

Han Li nodded, picked up the storage ring, refined it slightly, and then carefully checked it.

Under this investigation, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in joy.

Not to mention the various healing and cultivation elixirs, there were quite a few rare spiritual herbs and immortal herbs from the Immortal World, some of which were rare spiritual herbs that he didn't even recognize.

But among them, what surprised him the most were more than a dozen fist-sized "Mystic Zhi Crystal Stones". This thing was an important spiritual material for refining the Suppressing Evil Pill. He had previously purchased a large number of Bitter Luo Flowers from the Tamuda Conference, and he was worried about not having Mystic Zhi Crystal Stones.

Now that he had these two main materials, he could refine another batch of Suppressing Evil Pills. Otherwise, in this Gray World, once the baleful aura decay disaster backlashed, it would be a life-threatening matter.

However, this matter couldn't be rushed for the time being, and he could only try to refine them after reaching a safer place.

After putting away the storage ring, Han Li asked Xie Dao Ren about the situation in the Cave Heaven. He learned that everything was well in the spirit medicine garden, that the batch of Bean Soldiers in the planting area were about to mature, and that the roots of the Two-Life Tree were still lifeless under the irrigation of the spiritual liquid.

As for the Essence Flame Firebird, it was still wrapped in the silver ball covered with scarlet patterns and showed no signs of waking up.

Han Li wasn't too worried about this. He had already seen the power of the Seven-Colored Fire Sand that day, and he wouldn't be surprised if the Essence Flame Firebird slept for ten or twenty years.
