Mortal: I possess a copy of the Jade Manual of the Sea of ​​Consciousness!

He heard Nangong Wan reply that she had no talisman to protect her.

Wang Xuan stopped asking questions and turned to look at Han Li.

Han Li felt uneasy under Wang Xuan's gaze and quickly shook his head, saying, "Senior brother, you flatter me too much. I am just an ordinary outer disciple of Huangfeng Valley. How could I possibly possess such a valuable item as a talisman?"

Wang Xuan nodded slightly. It seemed that if he wanted to obtain this black dragon today, he would have to put in a lot of effort himself.

Since you like to hide your talents, then keep hiding them forever!

"In that case, you two fellow Daoists should first control the formation and entangle this beast for me."

"Let's make it clear beforehand: if I kill this black dragon, at least half of what's here must go into my storage bag!"

Nangong Wan quickly replied, "Of course. As long as you can get rid of this black dragon, most of the things here will naturally belong to you."

"This young lady only wants the wooden box in the center of the pavilion; she can give up everything else, since she's not yet very proficient at controlling this formation."

Wang Xuan ignored the second half of Nangong Wan's sentence; it was a cliché combination of flattery and threat.

Seeing that Wang Xuan had turned to look at him, Han Li quickly smiled apologetically and replied, "I will do whatever you say, Senior Brother."

After both of them responded, Wang Xuan took out the top-grade magic weapon that Qi Zhen had given him: the Tan Jiao Banner!

As spiritual energy was infused into the flag, two roars of azure dragons echoed, and two water dragon spirits burst forth from the flag.

Together with the Golden Water Crocodile, they tore at the body of the Ink Dragon.

This is not over yet.

Wang Xuan then took out the silver-steel bell magic artifact from his storage bag.

Boom!

The bell tolled melodiously, and after Wang Xuan infused it with spiritual power, it suddenly grew larger, enveloping the black dragon.

Han Li knew that among the cultivation techniques he practiced was the Rain-Making Technique. Since he chose to conceal his identity, he naturally could not use these signature spells.

"You two, hurry up and help me out!!"

Nangong Wan and Han Li were brought back to their senses by Wang Xuan's shout.

They never expected Wang Xuan to have so many tricks up his sleeve.

Moreover, he used two top-grade magic artifacts at once!

This wealth doesn't seem to belong to an ordinary Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator.

Could it be that some unknown Core Formation expert from Spirit Beast Mountain secretly recruited a disciple who has come here?

Without time to think too much, Han Li and Nangong Wan also activated the array plate with all their might.

The two fiery bird spirits joined Wang Xuan's side, continuously inflicting injuries on the black dragon.

Soon, the black dragon's aura weakened, and its fatigue became quite obvious.

Wang Xuan was overjoyed and casually unleashed a burst of spiritual energy to repel Nangong Wan and Han Li.

He then threw out several small flags, which instantly formed a barrier, trapping the two of them for a short period of time.

Wang Xuan's actions shocked, angered, and puzzled the two.

Could it be that this person is about to succeed and then decides to turn on them and silence them?!

"Senior brother, what is the meaning of this? Why are you attacking us?!"

Wang Xuan offered no explanation, but slapped his storage bag, and the long-hidden Beast Taming Bell finally appeared.

Ring ring!

A ripple spread outwards, and the already weakened black dragon trembled upon hearing the bell, its eyes becoming vacant.

"Ahem!"

After Wang Xuan shook the bell, he felt his spiritual energy drop significantly.

His energy was almost depleted in the blink of an eye, so he quickly swallowed two Rejuvenation Pills and activated the Blood Nether Dragon Bone Formation Secret Technique.

A line of blood pierced through the black dragon's body. After a few breaths, the black dragon's body became shriveled, as if it had been completely drained.

Wang Xuan finished his practice, and a blood-red bead floated in his hand.

Feeling the powerful blood energy fluctuations emanating from the bead, Wang Xuan was overjoyed.

Finally, finally I can begin to cultivate that body-refining technique!

After sealing the essence blood bead in a jade bottle, Wang Xuan glanced at the two still on guard and left the treasure pavilion without looking back.

……

Seeing that Wang Xuan had only killed the Mo Jiao, extracted its essence, and left without intending to harm them, they realized that Wang Xuan had no intention of harming them.

Nangong Wan and Han Li exchanged a glance, but still didn't quite trust each other, and simply left.

"My junior disciple from Huangfeng Valley, how about we work together to break this barrier?"

"My spiritual energy is currently depleted, and I am truly unable to forcefully break free from this predicament."

Unable to sense Wang Xuan with her divine sense, Nangong Wan confirmed that he had indeed left the place.

So he simply stopped pretending and revealed his identity to Han Li directly.

Han Li knew perfectly well that the woman from the Hidden Moon Sect in front of him was actually the Core Formation Ancestor who presided over the Ascension Conference in Tai Nan Valley!

He recognized Wang Xuan the moment he saw him upon entering this place.

However, just to be on the safe side, he didn't bring it up himself, fearing he might be silenced.

Han Li was curious about how the other party had entered and how their cultivation had regressed to the Qi Refining stage.

But now is not a good time to inquire about the other party.

"It's you, senior. More than three years have passed since the Ascension Ceremony in Tainan Valley. I didn't expect you to remember me."

Nangong Wan remained noncommittal, saying calmly, "Cultivators have powerful memories. At that time, there was a talented cultivator next to you, so you took a second look."

I never expected that you would actually reach the twelfth level of Qi Refining after three years of hard work. That's quite remarkable.

Let's not talk about that anymore. I used my divine sense to confirm that the person had already left.

Once this barrier is broken, we can each take what we need.

"I only want the wooden box in that pavilion; the rest is yours to do as you please."

What could Han Li say upon hearing this? He could only humbly agree with Nangong Wan.

"Although that black dragon is now just a shell, it was still a level two demon beast in life, so it must be quite valuable..."

……

A few days later.

The Blood Forbidden Land Trial concluded as scheduled, and the elders of the seven factions activated their magical artifacts, reopening the barrier once again.

"I wonder how many of those disciples will come back alive after this trial."

The old Taoist priest Fuchenzi of Qingxu Sect looked wistfully at the gap in the restriction and muttered to himself.

Li Huayuan glanced at the other party, snorted, and said, "Tch, what a hypocrite. You old codger, you're just afraid of losing the bet with me, aren't you?"

Fu Chenzi got excited when he heard this, and looked at Li Huayuan's fat face and said sarcastically, "Hey, I lost the bet? Everyone knows that you, Li Huayuan, have never won a bet against me."

That piece of iron essence from last time is still warm in my storage bag. Do you want to come over and take a look?

Upon hearing this, Li Huayuan's face darkened, and he decided to ignore the old Taoist Fuchenzi, knowing he was asking for trouble.

Elder Han watched the fight between Li Huayuan and the other man calmly, her eyes fixed on the gap in the barrier, as if she were waiting for someone to appear.

Old Monster Qiong chuckled strangely and looked around, acting like a fool.

Finally, a figure darted out first, dressed in the classic leopard print outfit of Spirit Beast Mountain.

With a handsome face, though his aura seemed slightly weary, who else could it be but Wang Xuan?!

Elder Han scanned the area with her divine sense and confirmed that it was her disciple's aura. She nodded calmly.

"Come over here! I didn't expect the first one to come out would be a disciple from my Spirit Beast Mountain, hahaha!"

Elder Han led Wang Xuan behind her and laughed heartily as she looked around at the passageways.

The six elders from various sects remained expressionless and casually remarked, "They've come out, but I wonder how many spiritual herbs they've gathered?"

Wang Xuan also took out his storage bag, and one after another, the spiritual herbs fell to the ground.

"Jade marrow fungus, purple monkey flower, heavenly spirit fruit... and some auxiliary medicines."

There are actually more than a dozen medicinal herbs here! It seems your Spirit Beast Mountain is quite lucky!

Looking at the dozen or so spiritual herbs in front of Elder Han, Li Huayuan felt a little uneasy.

The old Taoist Fuchenzi of Qingxu Sect felt the same way; that was a level five Bloodline Flood Dragon's inner core, and he couldn't afford to lose!

"Congratulations to Elder Han on your successful start, but the outcome is still uncertain, and everything remains to be seen."
