Chapter 568 The Third Type
Golden Boy took the talisman and patted it on his body.
With a "whoosh" sound, the Soul Armor Talisman immediately turned into a soft white light and submerged into his body.
A white light flashed above his forehead, and white and bright spiritual patterns emerged, forming a cloud-like pattern similar to the one on the previous talisman.
"Little White!"
Golden Boy was stunned for a moment, then a strange look appeared on his face. He called out to Pixiu, then his figure spun around and turned into a golden light, flying towards Pixiu.
Pixiu hurriedly opened its mouth and swallowed the golden light into its body.
Time passed little by little. In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed, but there was no sign of Golden Boy flying out. Instead, Pixiu Little White would occasionally stand up and then lie down again, looking restless.
Seeing this, a trace of joy flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he continued to wait quietly.
Time slowly passed. After another half an hour, Pixiu's expression suddenly changed, and it opened its mouth to spit.
A golden light shot out from it, revealing the figure of Golden Boy.
The white spiritual patterns on her forehead had disappeared, her face was a little pale, and the skin on her hands and feet looked a little dim.
Seeing Golden Boy like this, Han Li didn't immediately ask about the situation. Instead, he flipped his hand and took out a jade ruler as green as water and handed it over.
Golden Boy immediately grabbed it, as if eating a candy stick, and chewed the green jade ruler to pieces in a few bites, swallowing it down.
After eating this treasure, a layer of green light appeared on Golden Boy's face, flickering a few times before disappearing without a trace, but her complexion looked a little better.
"How is it?" Han Li then asked.
"Uncle, this talisman is good! It was always a little dizzy in Little White's belly, but with this talisman, it's much better," Golden Boy said with a smile.
"If there are enough of these talismans, how long do you think you can stay inside?" Han Li's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked again.
"I estimate that if there are enough talismans, I can stay inside for half an hour more at most," Golden Boy thought for a while and said seriously.
Han Li nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.
It seemed that even with the Soul Armor Talisman to strengthen her soul, Golden Boy could not stay inside for a long time. At most, she could continuously consume two talismans, which meant she could stay for a maximum of one and a half hours each time.
Although it was still not long, it was not short either, enough to do many things.
While thinking, Han Li waved his hand and took out a few more spiritual treasures for Golden Boy to devour and recover. Then, he opened the Reincarnation Palace transaction interface again and bought more than a hundred Soul Armor Talismans from several people in one go.
When it came to life and death, he didn't care about the cost of immortal essence stones at all.
He pinched his fingers, about to disperse the crimson light curtain again, when a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face, and he looked at a corner of the light curtain.
A red light was flashing there.
It seemed that someone had responded to the reward he had just posted.
Han Li pinched his fingers and cast a spell.
A red light penetrated from the light curtain, condensing into a dark red, hazy figure, whose appearance could not be seen clearly.
However, the mask on its face could be seen relatively clearly, with the words "Huang Nineteen" engraved on it.
"Fellow Daoist, if you have any secret techniques that can drive the immortal artifact of the Taiyi level, please speak frankly," Han Li said directly without any polite formalities, getting straight to the point.
"Before answering this question, I would like to ask what type of immortal artifact Fellow Daoist wants to drive?" Huang Nineteen chuckled twice and asked.
The voice sounded like a man's, with an unexpectedly sharp tone.
"A flying immortal artifact," Han Li replied directly.
"I see. This type of immortal artifact generally doesn't have high requirements for the attributes of immortal spiritual power, so it's easier to drive. However, please tell me about the restrictions inside the flying immortal artifact," Huang Nineteen said with a thoughtful expression.
Han Li frowned slightly upon hearing this and didn't speak.
"I don't want to inquire about the secrets of Fellow Daoist's immortal artifact. I just can't design a method to drive it without knowing the restrictions of the flying immortal artifact," Huang Nineteen said, spreading his hands.
Han Li glanced at Huang Nineteen and still didn't speak.
This emerald green flying chariot belonged to Gongshu Jiu. The Heavenly Court's power extended throughout the entire Immortal World, so he had to be extremely careful. He didn't dare to leak any information about Gongshu Jiu.
But what Huang Nineteen said was true...
Han Li pondered for a moment and still told this person about the parts of the emerald green flying chariot's restrictions that he was not familiar with.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist's flying chariot is indeed a masterpiece! Its restriction design is quite clever, but I happen to have some knowledge about it. As far as I know, there are three methods that can allow Fellow Daoist to exert more than 80% of this treasure's power, but each has its advantages and disadvantages," Huang Nineteen said after considering for a moment after listening to Han Li's description.
"I would like to hear the details," Han Li said, his spirits lifted.
"Well... these three methods are all secret techniques that are not passed down. Fellow Daoist's reward is a bit insufficient," Huang Nineteen suddenly smiled, unhurriedly.
"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, as long as your method really works, the reward is negotiable. If it's just a facade..." Han Li smiled and said.
"Fellow Daoist, don't underestimate people. These methods of mine are inherited from the secret techniques of Hundred Refinements Mountain. How could they be useless?" Huang Nineteen seemed to be angered by Han Li's words, and his tone became slightly cold.
"Hundred Refinements Mountain..." Han Li's heart suddenly moved upon hearing this.
He had heard the name before when he was in the Spirit World from the Mother of the Mite, that it was a force in the Immortal World. The Hundred Pulses Treasure Refining Art that he had practiced was also a secret technique of Hundred Refinements Mountain.
Listening to Huang Nineteen's words, Hundred Refinements Mountain didn't seem like an ordinary force.
"Here are descriptions of my three methods, as well as the rewards that need to be paid. Choose whichever one you want," Huang Nineteen sensed his gaffe and coughed lightly, saying.
After saying this, he waved his hand, and dots of red light shot out from his hand, forming three light curtains in mid-air, each of which was filled with tiny words.
Han Li's mind focused, and he looked towards the first light curtain.
The method on the first light curtain was to use a special secret spell to forcibly stimulate the flying chariot immortal artifact's own spiritual power to make up for the insufficient immortal spiritual power of the Gold Immortal cultivator, which could exert more than 90% of the flying chariot immortal artifact's restrictions.
At the very end of the light curtain, there was also a price tag: five thousand immortal essence stones.
Han Li frowned and immediately looked at the second light curtain.
Although the first method was feasible, and according to what was said above, this method didn't require much preparation. As long as one knew the secret technique, it could be used immediately.
But this secret technique also caused great damage to the emerald green flying chariot. It wouldn't be long before it exhausted the flying chariot's own spiritual power.
If it was used to deal with something temporarily, this method would be quite suitable, but he needed to rely on the emerald green flying chariot for a long time to cross the desolate wilderness, so this method was completely useless.
Han Li then turned his gaze to the second light curtain, and his eyes lit up slightly.
The method on this light curtain was completely different from the first. It was not a secret technique to stimulate spiritual power, but a technique to fuse essence.
Using this technique, the immortal spiritual power of several Gold Immortals could be temporarily fused into one, barely raising it to the Taiyi level, so as to drive the emerald green flying chariot. The effect was the most ideal among the three methods, and it could infinitely approach exerting the flying chariot's full power.
The price for this technique was ten thousand immortal essence stones.
But after Han Li finished reading the content on the light curtain, his heart sank.
It was naturally not because of the price. According to what was said above, to fully use this technique, at least three Gold Immortal late-stage cultivators or more than eight Gold Immortal mid-stage cultivators were needed.
Han Li only had himself, Crablord, Pixiu, and Golden Boy, these four Gold Immortals, by his side, which was still a distance from the requirement. According to his calculations, he could exert at most 60% of the total power, which was far from what he had thought.
Of course, something was better than nothing. If he could really exert 60% of the power, it would be much better than the current situation.
Han Li smiled wryly in his heart, and then looked at the third light curtain.
This third method was a magic formation secret technique. The principle was somewhat similar to the second method, which was to gather multiple strands of immortal spiritual power and gather it to raise it to the Taiyi level.
However, this magic formation secret technique didn't gather the immortal spiritual power of cultivators, but immortal essence stones. As long as there were enough immortal essence stones, then theoretically the power could also infinitely approach perfection.
To condense Taiyi-level immortal spiritual power, the consumption of immortal essence stones was naturally extremely astonishing, and it was simply not something that Gold Immortal cultivators could bear.
Perhaps considering this reason, Huang Nineteen's price for this method was only one thousand immortal essence stones. Obviously, he didn't recommend this method either, and purely took it out to make up the numbers, so as to highlight the advantages of the first two methods.
Han Li looked at the third light curtain, and a smile appeared on his face under the mask.
"Has Fellow Daoist considered it?" Huang Nineteen waited for a while and couldn't help but ask when he saw that Han Li still hadn't spoken.
"I've considered it. I want the third method," Han Li said.
"What?" Huang Nineteen's eyes revealed a trace of surprise upon hearing this.
Although the third method was feasible and cheap, its shortcomings were also extremely obvious. It was very likely that the immortal essence stones spent in the end would be more than the sum of the first two methods, so it was very chicken ribs. This person in front of him looked like a shrewd fellow, so how could he choose this method?
"Has Fellow Daoist thought it through clearly?" Huang Nineteen asked again.
"That's right, let's go with the third one," Han Li nodded.
Huang Nineteen shook his head and didn't ask any more questions. He discussed with Han Li about the method of paying the reward.
A moment later, a white jade slip emerged from the material transfer formation in the center of the crimson light curtain.
Han Li couldn't wait to take the jade slip and probe his spiritual sense into it.
A full half an hour later, he withdrew his spiritual sense, revealing a trace of admiration.
There was no problem with the magic formation secret technique in the jade slip, and this magic formation was also very compatible with the restrictions of the emerald green flying chariot. Obviously, that Huang Nineteen had deliberately adjusted it.
To be able to complete all of this in such a short period of time, Huang Nineteen's attainments in immortal artifact restrictions had obviously reached an extremely high level, far inferior to his own.
Han Li secretly remembered the name Huang Nineteen in his heart. If he had any problems with immortal artifact restrictions in the future, he could ask this person for advice again.
He then waved his hand and took out a large pile of materials for arranging the formation, and began to work busily in the center of the flying chariot.
