Chapter 218: The Bell Rings

"The mountain has been closed until today. The spiritual fields in the territory have been deserted before, Sun Buzheng. After that, you bring some people to start taking care of these spiritual fields." Han Li pondered for a while before ordering.

"Yes. I don't know what kind of spiritual grass Elder Li wants us to plant?" Sun Buzheng responded and asked again.

"You guys open up the abandoned spiritual fields first, and as for what to plant, I will make arrangements later." Han Li said.

Everyone immediately agreed and was about to turn around and retreat.

"Qianqian, follow me." Han Li said suddenly, then turned and walked towards the cave.

"Yes!" Meng Qianqian was slightly taken aback, and then followed with a flash of joy on her face, and a series of crisp ding-dong sounds came from her body.

Not long after, the two appeared in a stone room in Han Li's cave.

In the center of the stone room is a small spirit-gathering array about three feet in size, which makes the indoor world full of aura, and in the center of the array, lies a giant white egg quietly.

Meng Qianqian seemed a little excited and curious when she just stepped into the stone room, but then her beautiful eyes were attracted by the giant white egg.

After more than 30 years of cultivation, the vitality contained in this egg has become more and more abundant, but so far there is still no sign of hatching.

The girl opened her mouth, as if she wanted to ask something, but then she seemed to think of her brother's order, she quickly closed her mouth, and stood quietly, blinking her big eyes, waiting for Han Li's order.

"Qianqian, your next task is to find a way to hatch this egg for me. What you practice is the fire attribute technique. Now that the Nascent Soul is formed, it may be helpful. During this period, you can come and go freely This cave and this stone room. Remember, this matter is not allowed to be mentioned to outsiders, not even your brother, understand?" Han Li stared at the white giant egg for a while, and then ordered.

As soon as he finished speaking, his sleeves shook, and a jade plaque and a storage bracelet fell into Meng Qianqian's hands.

"Yes! Qianqian will keep his mouth shut and do his best to complete the tasks assigned by Elder Li!" Meng Qianqian quickly replied holding the jade plaque and storage bracelet in both hands.

Han Li nodded, and then left the cave on his own and headed down the mountain.

A moment later, he appeared in the cave where the underground fire vein was located.

Compared with decades ago, it is obvious that the fire-attribute spiritual power contained in the air is much more stable, but it is still scorching hot, and even the void seems to be burning.

Over the tumbling magma lake, red clouds flowed on the surface of the fiery red giant cocoon, rising and contracting rhythmically, still devouring the power of the surrounding flames.

Han Li released his consciousness and sensed the Jingyan Firebird, and a gleam of joy flashed across his face.

After absorbing the pure fire power that filled the underground fire veins for so many years, the Jingyan Firebird has recovered a lot. I believe that as long as it stays for enough time, it is not impossible to increase its power and spirituality.

As if sensing Han Li's approach, a few crisp beeps came from the giant cocoon, and it shook slightly.

"Recover well here, don't come out in a hurry." Han Li said with a slight smile.

It seemed that his words had an effect, and the giant cocoon became quiet.

Han Li looked at the giant cocoon for another moment, and was about to turn around and leave.

At this moment, the entire underground cavern shook violently.

An invisible but indescribable force burst out from the ground, like a turbulent wave.

The top of the cave shook violently, and countless crimson gravels fell like rain.

Even with Han Li's current cultivation base, his expression slightly changed when he was overwhelmed by this huge force.

The next moment, the mutation regenerates!

Boom!

I only heard a deafening loud sound, as if a giant bell was ringing, coming from deep underground.

The underground cave was violently shaken again, and the magma lake in the cave raised a huge wave tens of feet high, and the hot magma splashed in all directions.

The giant cocoon hanging in mid-air also shook a few times, but then returned to calm.

"This is……"

Han Li's heart moved, and the rumors about the Zhongming Mountain Range immediately came to mind.

It is said that this place got its name because there are sometimes one or two strange loud noises from the ground, which are similar to the sound of a bell.

For so many years since he came to Zhulong Road, he has never heard the so-called underground bell ringing. He did not expect to meet it by chance today, and it was just like rumors.

It's just that the force gushing out from the ground just now doesn't seem to be shaking the earth's crust.

Han Li frowned and thought, then shook his head and smiled.

Regardless of his reasons, these things have nothing to do with him. He has many headaches now.

Han Li glanced at the giant cocoon again, turned around and walked outside.

The moment he took a step, his body suddenly turned around like lightning, and the blue light in his eyes flashed away.

Because he turned around so fast, there was a crisp sound in the air, and he stared at the magma lake in the distance with piercing eyes.

Although it was only for a moment, just now, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the bottom of the magma lake, and a huge red shadow flashed past.

The red shadow disappeared in a flash like the tail of something, at an astonishingly fast speed.

Han Li's expression froze slightly.

As early as when he discovered the clue, his spiritual consciousness had already spread, but he couldn't detect the trace of the red shadow.

At this moment, it was underground, and all kinds of underground atmospheres were messy, which greatly affected the sensing range of his spiritual sense.

"What is that?" Han Li was full of doubts.

He stood silently on the spot for a long time, then looked up and looked around, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It seems that this Zhongming Mountain Range is far more complicated than I imagined, but even if there is any abnormality, it should not pose any threat to the Jingyan Firebird.

As soon as Han Li thought of this, he immediately turned around and walked towards the outside of the cave.

A few hours later, the Taixuan Hall of Jingyun Peak.

In the main hall, in front of the white and blue stone walls, there were all kinds of elders and disciples, all of them stretched their necks and looked towards the stone wall, trying to choose a task that suits them.

But in front of the dark golden stone wall at the back of the main hall, there was no such lively scene, only a few true fairyland monks stood there, their brows were frowned, and they sighed straight at the stone wall.

"Why is it so difficult to find a mission with more money and less work..." A white-bearded old man dressed as an elder sighed heavily, turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Another young man who was also dressed in an elder's costume passed him by and stopped in front of the stone wall.

It was Han Li.

He looked up at the stone wall, and looked down from the top one by one, and his brows gradually frowned like everyone else.

The tasks recorded on the stone wall either did not match the rewards and difficulty of execution, or took a very long time. It is no wonder that the elders of the real fairyland shook their heads and sighed.

Of course, the most conspicuous one among them is to practice the "Mantra of the Wheel of Truth" to the second level.

Just at this moment, a light sigh came from behind.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Li?"

When Han Li heard this, he turned around and looked, but there were two familiar figures coming hand in hand. The person speaking was a big man with a beard on the left, who was the elder of the inner sect with the surname Nan who participated in the Xiongshan mission with him that day.

"Hehe, it's Brother Nan and Brother Lu. It's been a long time." Han Lichong bowed his hands to the two of them.

"That's right, Brother Qi said a few days ago that you are still in seclusion, but you have already left the seclusion today." The bearded man saluted and said with a smile.

"Brother Li, you are really too diligent. You didn't feel happy for a few days just after leaving the customs, and you rushed to pick up the task immediately?" The elder surnamed Lu also smiled and cupped his hands, jokingly.

"This isn't the sect's regular deacon-level task. The deadline is approaching. I thought I'd come here to pick up the task, so that I could complete the task as soon as possible." Han Li shook his head and said.

As a result, the two listened and looked at each other with a strange look on their faces.

"Ahem...Brother Li, are you really going to do these three missions?" The big man with beard coughed dryly twice and asked.

"That's right, I chose this way when I started...but what's wrong?" Han Li asked puzzled seeing his expression was different.

"This... the regular deacon-level tasks issued by the Zongmen have always been rewarding, but the conditions for completing them have always been quite harsh. It is not easy to complete. It is either time-consuming and labor-intensive, or the risk is not small." The bearded man explained. road.

"Yeah, it's not as easy as serving as a deacon for a hundred years in a thousand years. After all, the distribution of regular deacon-level tasks is always based on luck. Whatever task is listed in the merit list, you have to take on the task and cannot be replaced. According to Lu, See, it's better to take a few tasks here and earn enough merit points to make up for it." The elder surnamed Lu added.

"So that's how it is...Thank you for your kindness. There are no suitable tasks on this stone wall for the time being. I'll go and see the situation before making a trade-off. I just don't know where to get it?" Han Li sighed softly. asked immediately.

"Since that's the case, we won't persuade you much. There is a side hall on the left side of the back hall of the Taixuan Hall. Brother Li can get it there." The big man with beards said.

"Thank you, then Li will go now." Han Lichong cupped his hands with the two of them, then turned and left.

He walked around the wide dark golden stone wall, walked out from a door on the back wall of the hall, and came to the back hall of the Taixuan Hall. Looking to the left, he saw the entrance of the side hall.

He looked up at the slightly half-closed hall door, walked over, pushed it lightly, and entered the hall.

The area of ​​the side hall is not large, not much different from Han Li's own courtyard guest room. There is a skylight above the roof. At this moment, a ray of skylight is falling from it. On a potted plant.

This potted plant is no more than half a foot high, shaped like an ancient pine, and its whole body is bright green. Under the sunlight, it looks crystal clear, with pale golden veins extending from the root to every branch, shining like stars.

When Han Li looked at it, he found that this thing was full of spiritual energy, and it seemed to be a spiritual medicine.

It's just that he didn't know this elixir, and he had never seen this kind of planting method, but he couldn't take his eyes off it for a while.
