"Senior Brother Han, look! It's a spiritual spring!"

Gan Rushuang pointed to the underground river not far away and said.

Han Li placed Gan Rushuang on a large rock to the side, bent down, and curiously examined the slowly flowing underground river in front of him.

The underground river before us has a faint blue-gold hue, with a rich spiritual energy mixed within it.

Whether it's because of its proximity to a top-grade spiritual vein or for some other reason, the underground river where this spiritual spring converges has a spiritual energy many times richer than the spiritual spring inside Han Li's cave.

If we can find the source and bring it back, it will definitely raise the spiritual energy in the cave by several levels.

"what?"

Just then, Han Li let out a soft "Eh".

"What's wrong, Senior Brother Han?"

Gan Rushuang slowly stood up, revealing a pair of long, white legs, and walked slowly behind Han Li, asking him a question.

Han Li remained silent. Suddenly, a layer of black energy shone from his body, and black flames flickered in his eyes. With a flick of his finger, wisps of black and red energy escaped from the spiritual spring and entered Han Li's body.

Upon seeing this, Gan Rushuang was speechless for a moment. Just as she was about to say something, Han Li flipped his palm, and a ball of burning black flame rose up.

"Demonic energy... How could there be demonic energy in this water?"

Gan Rushuang was not too surprised by the demonic flames that Han Li had unleashed. She stared intently at the red gas in front of her, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Perhaps it's because of that Demonic Array that the spiritual vein has been contaminated to some extent. And since this place is so close to a top-grade spiritual vein, it's inevitable that it will be affected."

After a moment's thought, Han Li slowly spoke.

"That's most likely the case." Gan Rushuang nodded, agreeing with Han Li's statement.

After scooping up a ladle of water and examining it closely, Han Li's hand flashed with light, and a purple-gold gourd floated in mid-air.

The gourd opened its mouth, and a tremendous suction force suddenly erupted, sucking in the river water that had been tainted by demonic energy.

"Senior Brother Han, what are you doing?"

Gan Rushuang was puzzled. The spring was polluted by demonic energy, which was completely harmful to them. Why would they collect it?

"As you may know, I have cultivated a special demonic flame. Because I do not have any demonic energy cultivation techniques, there are many limitations to controlling this flame."

"Now, with this spiritual liquid tainted by demonic energy, we can freely unleash demonic flames without restriction, thanks to the demonic energy contained within it."

Han Li smiled and patiently explained.

"I see!"

Gan Rushuang nodded in sudden realization.

Han Li made a single gesture, and a blue light surged across his body.

The purple-gold gourd trembled slightly, and its originally open mouth slowly closed. The water column, which was like a dragon sucking water, stopped instantly and then flew straight back into the storage bag hanging on Han Li's waist.

Han Li nodded in response, his gaze falling on Gan Rushuang's ankle, his brows furrowing slightly.

With a flick of her finger, streaks of dark green light flew out and enveloped her entire foot.

As the green light dispersed, the previously red and swollen ankle instantly returned to normal.

"How do you feel now?"

"Hmm... I feel much better than before. The azure light that Senior Brother Han just used is similar to the azure light he used when breaking the solidified earth restriction. It must be the supernatural power attached to the Longevity Technique."

Gan Rushuang was overjoyed. She never expected that the Longevity Elixir, besides breaking through the great divine power restriction of "Condensed Earth Returns to Flow," also had such a powerful healing effect.

"Hehe, you flatter me, fairy. But speaking of which, I wonder how the other fellow cultivators who accompanied us are doing now?"

Han Li, who was walking on the road, suddenly changed the subject and said.

"Senior Brother Han, there's no need to worry too much. Fellow Daoist Yun and the others are blessed with good fortune and should be fine. It's those demonic cultivators who are truly despicable... Even Sister Murong perished among them. I really don't know how I'm going to explain this to Master when we get back."

Gan Rushuang paused for a moment, then slowly spoke, her eyes slightly reddening.

Han Li didn't say anything more when he saw this.

He glanced around and then flicked out a golden talisman.

The golden rune swept across the darkness, landing steadily on the stone wall not far away, and then vanished without a trace.

At the same time, magical artifacts emitting various colored halos flew out and hovered around the two, illuminating the dark rock walls around them.

After doing all this, Han Li breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After passing through narrow passages and rock fissures, the view suddenly reverses.

It was an incredibly spacious underground cavern, the damp air mixed with an indescribable stench. Through the overhead light, one could vaguely see spherical objects hanging hundreds of meters in the air.

With a thought, Han Li sent out a series of illumination beads that flew out and embedded themselves into the surrounding rock walls.

"Such a strong demonic aura!"

Sensing the strange aura ahead, Gan Rushuang frowned, glanced at the spider webs around her, and said.

"This must be the lair of some spider-like monster."

Han Li's eyes flashed with a blue light as he flew low for dozens of miles along the empty mountain cave.

The light curtain formed by the Taiqing Cave Profound True Light enveloped the two of them. The magical treasures that were originally shimmering with spiritual light were put into Han Li's sleeve, and the entire underground cave instantly became pitch black.

Based on the wind direction in the surrounding area, there should be a passage connecting this place to the outside world.

However, the demonic aura in this cave is so dense that it is likely the lair of a Foundation Establishment stage demonic beast. We should find the exit and leave as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications!

The two had a smooth and uneventful journey together.

Apart from the occasional cold wind, there seemed to be no other life.

At first, Gan Rushuang was full of curiosity about this underground world.

Underground, stalactites of various colors are arranged, colorful fish swim in the underground river, and in the empty cave, there is a giant spider web covering hundreds of meters.

These were sights she had never seen before.

But after a while, they began to feel bored and annoyed. Apart from the two of them, most of the area was shrouded in darkness.

The appearance of various corpses that followed made Gan Rushuang somewhat panicked.

She didn't want to stay here for even a second longer.

Han Li frowned at this.

The further you go in, the less airflow there becomes, until it eventually starts blowing in the opposite direction.

Could it be that his deduction was wrong, and the exit wasn't here?

"You brat, hurry up and turn back! The exit isn't in here!"

At this moment, Wei Wuji's voice rang out.

"Senior Brother Han, what happened?"

When Gan Rushuang saw Han Li stop flying, she quickly went forward to ask him what was wrong.

Click, click, click...

Just then, a series of subtle sounds caught his attention.

Han Li pricked up his ears and listened attentively.

In his perception, something seemed to be approaching at an extremely fast speed, and judging from the noise, it was quite large!

Strangely, no matter how he used his divine sense to investigate, he found nothing unusual.

Seeing this, Gan Rushuang frowned. Just as she was about to say something, she saw a black light pierce through the void, and a sharp blade of energy cut through the air, mercilessly slashing down towards the heads of the two people.

"not good!"

Wei Wuji snorted coldly and controlled the mysterious rusty sword to fly out.

Seeing this, Han Li flicked his sleeve, and a small, earthen-yellow seal flew out, spinning rapidly to protect the two of them.

With a muffled "bang," the black light showed no mercy, striking the mysterious rusty sword and sending sparks flying.

An incredibly terrifying force struck, sending Han Li and the other person, who were protected by the Four Directions Seal, flying away.
