Chapter 217: Sloppy Old Man
"Is it pretty?"
Just as Han Li was a little absorbed in his gaze, a somewhat yin and yang voice came from behind the mahogany table.
Hearing this, Han Li hurriedly followed the prestige.
I saw that on a wide Taishi chair behind the case, he was lazily leaning on an old man wearing a lotus crown and an old gray-white robe, with gray hair, messy hair, and a slightly red nose.
On both sides of its waist loop, there is also a small gourd.
One is silver-white, the other is vermilion, and they are all engraved with intricate runes, which looks extraordinary.
"Good looking. Han Li's heart moved, and he replied like this.
"Better than those big-breasted fairies?" the old man snorted, sat up straighter, and said again.
Han Li was slightly stunned, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
The old man in front of him was full of strange energy from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside.
However, since he was sitting here, he should be the deacon elder here, but he was not wearing the clothes of the elder of the inner gate, and looking at the potted elixir on the table and the two gourds on his body, it didn't look like ordinary people could have.
What puzzled him the most was that the aura on this person's body was very strange, and he only detected it with ordinary divine sense, and he couldn't even feel the specific cultivation realm of this person.
"Seniors, don't be joking. Here are the regular deacon-level tasks. Han Li arched his hand and spoke.
Since he couldn't see the depth of the other party, he felt that it was better to be commensurate with his predecessors and be safer.
As if he hadn't heard Han Li's words, the old man muttered to himself, "This job is really not done by people, it's boring to death, it's still interesting to plant some flowers and plants......
I saw that his body leaned forward, took off the silver-white gourd from his waist, and pulled out the plug at the mouth of the gourd with a "pop", and a smell full of nectar aroma immediately filled the entire side hall.
Han Li's eyes lit up when he smelled this smell, and the silver-white gourd contained it seemed to be an acquired spiritual liquid.
The old man squinted at Han Li's reaction, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a smug smile.
He lifted the gourd and slowly poured it into the mouth of the gourd, carefully pouring out a drop of pale golden liquid from it, which dripped onto the roots of the potted plant.
I saw that the golden light on the bonsai suddenly bloomed, and the dots of golden light slowly flowed up from its roots like liquid, all the way to the ends of the branches and pine needle-like leaf veins.
After repeating this several times, the golden light gradually disappeared.
Seeing this, the old man nodded with satisfaction, hung the silver gourd back on his waist, and took off the vermilion gourd on the other side.
Han Li thought he had other spiritual fluids to use, but the old man leaned back slowly, pulled the gourd stopper, and brought it straight to his mouth, grunting and drinking.
An even stronger smell immediately overflowed the entire hall, actually covering up the original aroma of the spiritual liquid.
Obviously, this gourd did not contain any spiritual liquid, but a kind of sweet wine.
Seeing this, Han Li was speechless, and his eyes turned to look at the potted elixir.
When the old man was full of wine and wiped his mouth, the nose, which was already a little red, became more and more red.
He glanced at Han Li and saw that he was very interested in his potted elixir, and he looked like he couldn't get enough of it, and his heart became more and more proud.
How did he know that Han Li was already thinking about how to get this technique in his hands at the moment, so that he didn't need to plant the rare elixir in the medicine garden, just put it in his secret room and plant it directly.
"Boy, looking at the order in the merit book, the task you have to take is to go to a cloud lake island overseas in the eastern part of the Ancient Cloud Continent, find the nest of a mirage beast, and bring back a pair of spirit shells that it has shed. ”
Out of nowhere, the old man took out a thick cyan book, flipped to one of the pages, and pointed to the words on the page with one hand, and read it out word by word.
"Just to retrieve the spirit shell?" Han Li was slightly stunned when he heard this.
"Hehe, boy, don't underestimate this mirage beast, as far as I know, its strength has reached the middle stage of the True Immortal Realm, and it is not easy to sneak into its lair to steal the spirit shell. The old man glared at Han Li and said.
"The senior reminded that it was reckless, and I don't know if the predecessor has other information about this beast here. Han Li's heart moved, and he hurriedly said.
"For the sake of your good eyesight and good manners to the old man, the old man will remind you that this beast cannot be closed all year round, but every ten years it will leave the nest for seven days to make waves everywhere, and then you will have the opportunity to take out its spirit shell...... If you're unlucky, you'll have to wait a few more years, so don't rush in and lose your life in vain. The old man glanced at Han Li and shook his head.
"Thank you seniors. Han Li said.
"This task is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say that it is not easy, as long as you have patience, there is naturally no risk. The reward given by the sect is two hundred merit points. When you're done, come here to pick it up. The old man glanced at the merit manual again and continued.
After Han Li answered, he handed over his Elder Token.
After receiving the task and getting the relevant maps and information, he said goodbye and left the side hall.
Above the Taixuan Palace, after Han Li groaned slightly, he decided to leave for Yunhu Island immediately.
It's not that he thinks that his cultivation is trusted, or that he is in a hurry to complete the task, but he doesn't know when this mirage beast will leave the lair, in case he delays a few days and goes late, and it happens that the demon beast has just come back from making waves, then wouldn't he have to wait another ten years to complete this task?
So it's best to get there as early as possible in case you miss it.
As soon as he thought of this, Han Li immediately came to the Linchuan Hall of the square, and by riding the teleportation array, he came to Wanghai Peak in the eastern part of the Zhongming Mountain Range.
This mountain peak was already close to the eastern edge of the Zhongming Mountain Range, and it was the farthest area that Han Li had been able to reach by far using the teleportation array.
Standing on the top of this peak, looking far to the east, with his eyesight, he could only see that there was a black line as thin as a hair at the end of his gaze, which was the eastward sea near the Zhongming Mountain Range.
Yunhu Island, where Han Li was targeting this time, was one of the thousands of islands in the east-flowing sea.
After taking out the route map of the sea area that he had obtained from the sloppy old man, he carefully examined it for a long time, and then found a direction, and his body burst up, turning into a long rainbow, and flew away.
......
A few months later.
To the northeast of the Dongliu Sea, there is a huge island shaped like a lotus leaf, floating alone on the blue sea.
A huge lake, which occupies one-tenth of the entire area of the island, is like a turquoise pearl in the center of the island, and the water system that flows out of it winds like a lotus leaf vein around the island.
The lake is called "Yunsha Lake", which is the source of fresh water for this Yunhu Island, and is also the source of the name of the whole island, and its diverted freshwater system has nurtured tens of millions of creatures on the island, and the large and small cities, villages and towns are distributed along these water systems on both sides of it.
In the west of Yunsha Lake, there is a main tributary called "Shensha River", and on the left side of the river section that is hundreds of thousands of miles away from Yunsha Lake, there is a huge city with a height of 100 zhang, named Shensha City.
Therefore, the name suggests, this city is built by collecting the unique black sand in the Shensha River, the city has been built nearly 100,000 years ago, and there are not only millions of ordinary mortals living in it, but also a sect of cultivating immortals that has stood since the city was built.
It was evening, it was getting dark, but the sun had not yet set.
A blood-red sunset was almost attached to the sea, and its remaining afterglow reflected most of the ocean in blood-red, and also reflected the tall walls of Shensha City in blood-red.
I saw that in the sky, a blue light swept from the sky and landed on the top of the city, and a figure appeared from it.
This person was dressed in a cyan robe, he was tall, his appearance was not outstanding, but his eyes were very deep and bright, shining with a dazzling light, it was Han Li who had come all the way here.
His gaze swept over the walls of the city beneath him and the houses in the city, and his face gradually became solemn.
I saw that the city wall that should have been impregnable under its feet had collapsed for the most part, and a huge breach had opened, and even the arrow tower on the city had been completely shattered, and there was no trace of its original appearance.
The remnants of the city wall, the walls on both sides of the city and the outside, were all covered in blood, some of which had solidified and blackened, exuding bursts of fishy smell that made people want to vomit.
The city is full of collapsed and destroyed houses, and between the ruins and broken walls, you can faintly see many human limbs and corpses, as well as the remains of many poultry and livestock, all of which are blurred and miserable.
As the sun set and sunk to the sea, the whole city was swallowed up by a huge shadow and completely plunged into total darkness, and there was no sound in the city except for the sound of the whimpering wind, as if it were a dead city.
At this moment, Han Li's eyebrows suddenly raised, and he saw a little yellow light light in the central area of the city, as if someone had lit a bonfire.
His mind moved, and his consciousness suddenly let go, and he shrouded in that direction.
A moment later, his toes slammed against the city, and the whole man shot like an arrow, and fell towards the place where the bonfire was.
Just listen to the loud sound of "boom"!
Han Li's figure slammed into the center of a slightly open courtyard, causing the entire courtyard to tremble violently, and the already crumbling houses around it suddenly collapsed completely, emitting a series of roaring sounds.
The bonfire that was lit in the center of the courtyard was also scattered by this shock, and a large area of scarlet sparks was raised.
When the three people who had gathered around the bonfire saw this, they immediately fell to their knees in fright.
One of them, a young man in brown and a middle-aged beautiful woman, trembled with fright and was drenched in cold sweat, while a dark-skinned man was so frightened that he kowtowed like pounding garlic, and he didn't dare to raise his head at all, and shouted again and again:
"The seniors spare their lives, the seniors spare their lives, and I will leave now...... Just leave ......."
