Chapter 411: Re-entering the Green Copper Hall

Li Hui manifested his Ideal Body, without needing a golden Ideal Body behind him. In reality, the Ideal Body was everywhere, permeating his dantian and spreading through his acupoints.

His power transformed from outward expression to inner restraint, marking a qualitative leap.

The word was speed—he activated the Seize the Day Talisman, attaining sixty times the speed of movement, leaving only a blur of his figure. Bai Ze’s divine eye had already foreseen the dangers ahead, allowing him to navigate around them. Within half a stick of incense, he managed to break free.

Behind them came a thunderous roar as the Divination Master unleashed demonic energy into the array, every time facing an obstacle, he predictably dodged and advanced, breaking through at a pace just slightly slower than Li Hui’s.

The talisman, Xiujin, exclaimed in shock, “This guy suddenly became so fierce! I wonder how many years he plotted this while using those three unlucky souls as rafts.”

“Head to Nan Kui City!” Li Hui urged, accelerating madly. He had fallen from the sky to reach Nan Kui City, saying as he ran, “Feng Tianliang just underwent demonic transformation, his energy is unstable, he shouldn’t dare to expose himself in front of others. I need to replenish my energy quickly today. Xiujin, since you’re awake, as long as you give us time to prepare, we can take on not just a Divination Master but even the Green Copper Hall.”

“Don’t worry, with me around, I can elevate the talismans you draw to a new level and boost the power of your artifacts while cutting the consumption by nearly half,” Xiujin confidently assured.

“Ha ha! That’s great! You’ll also help me instruct my disciples,” Li Hui laughed.

He raced into Nan Kui City, standing on the city wall to use Bai Ze’s divine eye to scout. He discovered that Feng Tianliang was indeed lurking, letting out a cold snort before turning to leave.

“That guy left quite decisively, but he is so arrogant that he surely calculated my movements before plotting his attack.”

Xiujin transmitted a message, “Is this Daxia? It’s indeed prosperous, but why does it have a sense of decay?”

“Dark moon calamity; the world is in unrest. Let me slowly explain…” Li Hui descended from the wall, eager to collect items related to talisman-making before further investigating the Green Copper Hall.

The next day, blood-replenishing precious pills and Gathering Spirit precious pills flooded Nan Kui City.

The effects were decent, but the prices were half below the market rate, and they could be obtained in bulk. It was clear there was profit to be made, who wouldn’t want to get involved?

With Li Hui’s current cultivation, he no longer feared being spied on by other cultivators. Bai Ze could casually swipe a paw, easily shattering the spiritual senses of those buzzing around like flies, and none would dare act recklessly.

Of course, there were masters in Nan Kui City, but their prestigious identities made them disregard dealings in low-grade precious pills, just as Li Hui would not think highly of transactions involving second or third-tier elixirs.

The merchants sprang into action, purchasing large quantities of spirit and precious pills. No matter how many they needed, they received them in the blink of an eye. They were shocked, but seeing the nonchalant demeanor of the young noble, they knew he belonged to an extraordinary background—one not to provoke.

In less than two days, items like Miao Jade, fragments of treasures, and materials for talisman-making flowed into his pockets. Li Hui even used rare medicinal materials to swap for some valuable items, all related to talisman-making.

In truth, the real treasures, such as the Dao Text of Yellow Bud for Protection, various magical weapons, and even divine talismans and jade symbols, could not easily be exchanged for any amount of medicinal materials. However, trading the rare ginseng King’s roots for treasures would definitely attract some experts, though the risk was too high.

By noon on the third day, Li Hui gathered the precious talismans and quietly left Nan Kui City. The silver snake bracelet glowed with four black patterns on its back, having accumulated substantial talisman power through the consumption of fragments of treasures.

With this talisman power, activating the jade symbols and unleashing the full potential of the artifacts was no issue.

Now that the Evil God had self-identified as an important figure in the founding of Daxia, he likely suppressed his evil fury without a place to release it. Their meeting would undoubtedly be explosive, so Li Hui remained vigilant.

The Green Copper Hall had not vanished underground; many cultivators fought fiercely on Xin Ye Plain.

“Men die for wealth, and birds perish for food”—these cultivators had no idea that the Green Copper Hall was reaping fortunes on a grand scale. These cultivators would not die; even if their cultivation stagnated, they would still enjoy blessings of fortune. However, dying while seeking treasures would feed the Evil God’s power.

Li Hui took out the Unity of Heaven and Earth Talisman.

This jade symbol was the foundation of the Five Ghosts Transportation Talisman, possessing abilities of concealment and transport. Once triggered, it was extraordinarily magical, even Late Wanxiang Stage masters could not perceive it, and it could obscure heavenly secrets.

Before long, he infiltrated the Spring Hall, spotting nearly a thousand cultivators each occupying their own ground, breaking formations and preparing to collect treasures within.

“Quick!” Li Hui waved the jade symbol, dispersing silver threads visible only to him.

This was pre-arranged wiring, enabling him to delve into the formation slowly, ready to gather everything at the right moment.

Traversing from the Spring Hall into the Winter Hall, he faced heavy resistance, with only a hundred cultivators managing to reach this place. They also staked their positions, greedily eyeing the radiance within the formation, trying every conceivable method to crack it open.

Li Hui shook his head, inwardly thinking, “Collecting treasures is not easy, and once acquired, it becomes even more challenging. If one loses their fortune, they could incur the wrath of heaven and earth. Even a sip of cool water could become stuck in their throat, much less escaping the Green Copper Hall.”

He waved the jade symbol again; since the treasures were harmful to others, taking them away counts as merit!

After passing through the Winter Hall, he stepped into the Summer Hall, where the heat blistered with incredible fiery force, as only this environment could preserve the myriad treasures within the fire.

Looking around, only about thirty cultivators had entered this area, each powerful, skilled, and lucky, but the guarding formations and restrictions were formidable.

Li Hui scanned the area, secretly acknowledging their strength.

These cultivators were not foolish; they had means to suppress their fortune and clearly knew some of the Green Copper Hall’s underlying realities, eager to steal from the flames.

Upon reaching the Autumn Hall, he noticed eight cultivators trying to break the restrictions to seize the treasures inside, while another eight battled the Great Treasure Dragon Celebration Tree.

Their dao techniques erupted, and treasures flew as the leader, Senior Sister Wen Chuchu, used her exquisite treasure tower to pin down the tree demon, saying, “Quickly, the Dragon Celebration Tree is about to collapse! I don’t have many Xuzhan stones to stabilize the Green Copper Hall’s external teleportation. If you can’t deal with the tree demon within a stick of incense, none of you shall remain!”

“Ha ha!” Li Hui found it amusing; this Senior Sister Chuchu had always been fierce. After more than half a year apart, her cultivation had soared. It appeared she intended to use the exquisite treasure tower to collect the Great Treasure Dragon Celebration Tree. This tree was a treasure in itself, and now that it had become a demon, he might have considered “gathering” it for himself had he not had greater plans—only, the tree was too high in rank, making it exceptionally troublesome to suppress.

“Now is not the time to expose my whereabouts; the inner courtyard still needs careful arrangement for Duobao items.”

The Dragon Celebration Tree could withstand others but not the Ideal Body. The jade symbol exerted its power, making the tree demon unable to detect even the slightest disturbance, as Li Hui’s ethereal form slipped inside.

Yao’er gleefully noted, “A formidable tree demon cannot maintain its perception. If its senses are heightened, then being bombarded by so many treasures would surely be painful for it.”

Hearing Yao’er speak, Li Hui’s face lit up as he quickly asked, “Yao’er, can you control the cave sky formation? If possible, I need the Four Fiends Absolute Kill Suppression Array to engage.”

Yao’er replied, “The Four Fiends Absolute Kill Suppression Array might be decent, but the Dao Traces formation is formidable. I’m currently evolving it to counter Father’s various methods left behind. I wonder whose work it is—so exceptional…”
