The old woman with white hair glanced at the golden light barrier, a hint of surprise flashed deep in her eyes, and she nodded almost imperceptibly.

The elderly man with sparse hair didn't say much, but his gaze kept passing through the golden light barrier, scanning the living corpse back and forth, as if lost in thought.

Luo Qinghai's eyes flickered, his figure shooting out, landing in front of the golden light barrier as well.

"Palace Master Luo, what do you intend to do?" The elderly man's expression changed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice.

"What do I intend to do? This corpse contains so many Grand Essence Pills. You don't plan to swallow them all, do you?" Luo Qinghai sneered, chanting incantations under his breath, as blue light radiated from his body.

The elderly man's face changed, a flash of blood-colored light emanating from him, as he prepared to take action.

"It's alright." The old woman with white hair raised her hand to stop the elderly man, saying with a calm expression.

"But..." The elderly man frowned, ultimately releasing his hand.

A layer of flame-like blue light appeared around Luo Qinghai's body, emitting a vast aura of the Grand Essence realm. With a wave of his hand,

Rumble!

A dazzling blue light flashed before him, and the blue staff shadow reappeared, emanating a terrifying aura as it struck the golden light barrier.

Boom!

The entire hall shook once more, the golden light barrier trembling violently, but quickly returning to its original state.

Seeing this, Luo Qinghai's expression darkened, becoming unsightly.

The expressions of the others present shifted in surprise at this sight, and for a moment, no one spoke.

Silence returned to the hall, with only the sound of white flames rolling and burning beneath the emerald green pill furnace in the center.

"Fellow Daoist Li, what exactly is going on with that Soul-Nourishing Furnace and the wisp of remnant soul?" Hu Yan Daoist walked to Han Li's side and asked.

Upon hearing this, the bodies of the old woman with white hair and the elderly man quivered slightly, and they immediately turned to look at Han Li.

Luo Qinghai and the others also looked toward Han Li one after another.

Han Li took in everyone's reactions, pondered for a moment, and said, "I found that furnace within a forbidden area of a ruin. It looked somewhat unique, so I brought it with me. I didn't expect it to contain a remnant soul."

His words were clearly not entirely truthful, but Hu Yan Daoist simply said "Oh" and didn't ask further.

The old woman with white hair stared at Han Li, her gaze flickering, clearly not believing his words.

However, she seemed to have some concerns and did not speak up.

Luo Qinghai looked at the golden light barrier, suddenly let out a cold snort, and turned to walk down.

The others from Azure Stream Palace hurriedly greeted him, their lips moving slightly, as if they were communicating via voice transmission.

Han Li looked at the living corpse inside the golden light barrier, countless thoughts swirling in his mind.

What was the relationship between that remnant soul and this living corpse? He asked himself to take him away from that secret realm, could it be to return to this place, to reunite with his original body?

And Jiao San first refined the Void Essence Pills, and was now so concerned about that remnant soul. Did she know long ago that there was such a living corpse here, and what was her purpose?

Various thoughts swirled in his mind, intertwining into a tangled mess.

He gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and stopped thinking about it.

These matters had little to do with him. Whether it was Azure Stream Palace or Jiao San and the others, as long as they didn't provoke him, he wouldn't bother with too much meddling.

Most importantly, the Grand Essence Pills had now been completely refined, and he had achieved his wish. This place gave him a somewhat bad feeling, and he didn't want to stay any longer.

Just as Han Li was about to turn around, he suddenly stopped again, his gaze shifting to the living corpse under the light barrier, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.

Just now, the right hand of that corpse seemed to have twitched slightly.

However, it was only for a moment, and he couldn't be sure if he had just seen things.

"Fellow Daoist Li, what's wrong?" Seeing this, Hu Yan Daoist asked via voice transmission.

"Nothing." Han Li looked toward the others, but no one else seemed to have noticed what had just happened, and he shook his head.

"There doesn't seem to be any other treasures in this hall. Why don't we go look somewhere else?" Hu Yan Daoist, not suspecting anything, said.

Hearing this, Han Li looked toward the roof and the various restrictions in the hall.

The golden roof of the hall, combined with the restrictions within, could actually withstand the pill tribulation. As an Alchemy Daoist, he was naturally quite tempted.

However, he had just used his Spiritual Domain and had already explored clearly. The golden roof of the hall was integrated with the entire hall.

The previous battle was extremely intense, but the four walls of the entire golden hall were without a single scratch, incredibly sturdy. It was impossible to dismantle the roof and take it away.

"Let's go take a look." Han Li sighed inwardly with some regret and nodded.

Aside from the Grand Essence Pills, he had not gained nothing else from this trip. He had personally observed the process of the golden hall resisting the pill tribulation several times, and he had gained quite a few insights into the mysteries of the restrictions within the hall.

His Yuanhe Five Extreme Mountains also had the ability to resist the pill tribulation, and they had quite a few similarities with the power of the restrictions here.

"Have you recorded everything?" Han Li communicated with the Crab Daoist within his body.

"Everything has been recorded." Somewhere within his body, the Crab Daoist held a white jade slip in his hand, containing a set of restriction patterns, which were extremely detailed and complete.

"That's good." A trace of joy flashed in Han Li's eyes.

The restrictions here were profound. After leaving the Purgatory Cold Immortal Mansion, he would seclude himself and devote himself to comprehending them, integrating this set of restrictions with the Yuanhe Five Extreme Mountains. It might not be weaker than this golden roof, which would definitely be of great help to his future pill refining, especially Grand Essence Pills.

At this moment, another strange sound came from the emerald green pill furnace.

Han Li turned to look, his expression changing slightly.

He saw that Jin Tong had somehow jumped onto the emerald green pill furnace, transforming into a golden beetle form, and was devouring the furnace body in large bites.

The white flames under the pill furnace had quickly shrunk at some point, returning to their previous state. A layer of emerald green light was now floating on the pill furnace, trying to block Jin Tong, but to no avail.

Perhaps because the white flames had burned away the restrictions near the pill furnace, the gray-white statue puppets on both sides of the hall did not move.

"Jin Tong, what are you doing?" Han Li's figure flashed, flying to the emerald green pill furnace.

Looking at the pill furnace that had already been gnawed with a missing corner, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

"This immortal girl has been tossed about quite a bit just now, and is quite hungry, so I need to replenish myself! I had to wait a long time for you guys to refine pills in this furnace..." Jin Tong said indistinctly while devouring the pill furnace in large bites.

"Alright, but there's no time for you to eat slowly right now." Han Li sighed helplessly, waving his hand and emitting a blue light that enveloped the entire pill furnace.

No matter how mysterious and unparalleled this furnace was, it had already been damaged by Jin Tong after all. What's done is done, and there was no point in blaming her. Moreover, he asked himself that he didn't have the ability to repair this thing, so he might as well simply fulfill Jin Tong's wish.

The others glanced over here, and soon shifted their gazes away.

The Grand Essence Pills had already been completely refined. If this pill refining furnace had not been damaged, it would naturally be an extraordinary treasure, but now that it was broken like this, its value had naturally greatly decreased, and it was not worth offending a Gold Immortal who controlled the power of the Time Laws because of it.

Han Li waved his hand, and the blue light enveloped the emerald green pill furnace, lifting it upward.

Rumble!

The entire hall shook suddenly, the base of the pill furnace deeply embedded in the ground. It was now forcibly pulled out by Han Li.

Some remaining restriction lights around the pill furnace flashed wildly, all collapsing and shattering.

Han Li waved his hand, and put the pill furnace along with Jin Tong into a spirit beast pouch space.

Just as the pill furnace flew into the spirit beast pouch at his waist, a ball of white shadow shot out from the pill furnace, and entered Han Li's body with extreme speed.

Somewhere within Han Li's body, the Crab Daoist sat cross-legged in this place.

A flash of white light, and a ball of blazing white flames emerged, then unfolded, turning into a white flame villain, it was the essence flame villain.

However, compared to before, the essence flame villain had grown a lot, and its facial features were more refined.

More importantly, the aura it emitted at this moment was several times stronger than before.

The essence flame villain's body was surrounded by rolling white flames, emitting a terrifying heat.

The Crab Daoist opened his eyes, frowned slightly, and moved away from the villain.

The essence flame villain opened its mouth and spat out a brilliant silver light, it was a Grand Essence Pill.

However, this pill was different from the Grand Essence Pills just now. There were silver lines on the pill, combined together, vaguely forming the pattern of a three-legged golden crow, and the aura emitted was much stronger than the other Grand Essence Pills.

The essence flame villain waved its hand and threw this Grand Essence Pill upward.

A wave flashed, and this Grand Essence Pill disappeared from here out of thin air.

Within the hall, a trace of imperceptible joy flashed deep in Han Li's eyes, and he turned to walk towards Hu Yan Daoist and the others.

However, at this moment, two streams of light suddenly descended, and two figures were revealed where the light dispersed.

One of them had a slender figure and an elegant appearance, and the other had a graceful figure and a charming demeanor. It was Gongshu Jiu, the Monitoring Immortal Envoy of the Heavenly Court, and Xue Ying, the Deputy Palace Master of the Northern Cold Immortal Palace.

As soon as the two entered the hall, they saw the chaotic scene inside.

Everyone present also turned their attention to the entrance.

"Hehe, it's quite lively." Gongshu Jiu said with a warm smile on his face.

His voice was not loud, but it sounded very prominent after it rang in the noisy hall.

When everyone saw Gongshu Jiu's appearance clearly, they were all stunned, and then their eyes fell on Xue Ying, their expressions varied.

Han Li raised his eyebrows slightly. He only felt that Gongshu Jiu's aura was as deep as the sea, and he couldn't see through him at all, so he felt a little more wary in his heart.

Luo Qinghai frowned slightly, looking back and forth between him and Xue Ying, with a bit of doubt.

Gongshu Jiu's eyes swept over everyone in the hall one by one, and the smile on his face became more and more intense.

"It seems that today is my lucky day. I can actually meet so many rebels from the Reincarnation Palace at once, and they are not ordinary small fries. It can be regarded as a great harvest." Gongshu Jiu smiled, playing with the white jade Pixiu in his hand.

As soon as he finished speaking, a layer of almost transparent light curtain slowly released from outside his body, and in an instant, it enveloped the entire golden hall.
