Wang Haoyun

It wasn't surprising that Wang Li made such a connection.

The power of Old Ancestor Tong Hui's complete set of Dharma Swords forming a sword formation when confronting the Heavenly Tribulation was deeply memorable.

This kind of complete set of Dharma Swords was also exceptionally powerful when fighting enemies, far surpassing ordinary artifacts of the same rank.

Old Ancestor Tong Hui's artifact refining method came from True Lord White Bone.

Wasn't True Lord White Bone a rogue cultivator who frequently entered and exited the White Bone Continent?

True Lord White Bone's artifact refining method refined bone artifacts, and the White Bone Continent had no shortage of them, with plenty of suitable spirit bones for artifact refining.

Of course, over the past thousand years, many easily discoverable spirit bones had been plundered, so even ordinary cultivators who came to the White Bone Continent wouldn't gain much.

If he and his senior sister only roamed the outskirts of the White Bone Continent, the spiritual materials they could gather in a few days, after refining them into various talismans, would only yield a surplus of about a thousand spirit sands after covering their cultivation needs for a few days.

And that was considered good luck.

Sometimes, when forced to deal with some low-level demonic beasts, they would consume too many magic tools and might even end up at a loss.

But He Lingxiu, with her Innate Clarity Spiritual Root, was different. Her talented spiritual root allowed her to detect spiritual energy fluctuations that ordinary cultivators easily missed.

If she had a suitable guide and a suitable artifact refining method, wouldn't entering a place like the White Bone Continent be like a tiger entering a wolf pack for her?

She probably realized this possibility the moment she learned about this business opportunity at Jiaomu Market! And had already calculated him into her plan!

Such insidious cunning!

If it weren't for the fact that he felt the name "He Insidious" wouldn't be auspicious when traveling with her, he would definitely have called this Fellow Daoist Hehe "He Insidious"!

"Fellow Daoist Wang Bihui, one must have a broad perspective and look to the future."

As Wang Li's thoughts turned chilling, He Lingxiu smiled slightly, like a bashful young girl, and said, "Don't be short-sighted. Since Old Ancestor Tong Hui happened to pass down such a method to you, and since I was born with such talent, and you've entered the White Bone Continent many times, this is a coincidence, but also a tremendous opportunity. Since it's a tremendous opportunity, we must seize it well. You should understand by now that if we can establish a relationship of mutual trust, this is a business that yields immense profits for a long time. As for these three cultivators from the Scripture-Abandoning Dao-Departing Alliance... if we can save them and obtain more secrets from them, that would be an additional bonus."

"Your hair is also very long, why isn't your vision as extensive?" Wang Li looked at He Lingxiu with a look of disbelief. He could only believe half of what this female cultivator from the Huayang Sect said.

He always felt that even though He Lingxiu seemed to have revealed her plan completely, it might not be the entirety of her plan.

She might have even bigger ambitions.

He just stared at He Lingxiu, a look of disbelief on his face, as he approached the jawbone she had mentioned.

The jawbone seemed to belong to some kind of large fish and was about the size of an ordinary desk. After who knows how many years, as he moved it, it naturally cracked into six or seven pieces.

He casually picked up two of the tougher pieces to use as shovels.

Then Ye Wan and the others watched with looks of disbelief as Wang Li, also with a look of disbelief, dug out a black spirit bone that was shining with treasure light.

This spirit bone was about a foot long, thin and slightly curved. It was crystal clear and deeply black, but its surface had markings that resembled ghost faces.

"Ghost Pattern Spirit Bone!"

Although Ye Wan was often looked down upon by Wang Li, his knowledge seemed to be quite good, and his mouth was fast. The moment he saw the spirit bone, he exclaimed, directly and accurately identifying the spirit bone by name.

Han Yao's brows furrowed deeply.

He was also very aware of the origin of this Ghost Pattern Spirit Bone.

This spirit bone looked like the rib of some small beast, but it was actually the spine bone of an exotic insect called a Ghost Pattern Worm.

This Ghost Pattern Worm had only three bones in its body: one spine bone and two blade bones from its forelimbs.

The Ghost Pattern Worm looked somewhat comical, a plump large worm wielding two scythe-like blade bones.

But its rank was not low.

In the Demon Codex of the Central Divine Continent, it was born as a rank three, grade five demonic beast. Ghost Pattern Worms that had cultivated for a sufficiently long time could reach a strength of rank four, grade seven.

Judging by its appearance, it seemed unable to crawl much, but it was a wind-elemental demonic beast that could control protective winds.

A Ghost Pattern Worm that reached rank four, grade seven strength, had a certain chance for its spine bone to turn into a Ghost Pattern Spirit Bone after death.

Although the Ghost Pattern Worm was classified as a wind-elemental demonic beast, the Ghost Pattern Spirit Bone formed from its spine bone after death was a standard water-elemental spiritual material.

A single Ghost Pattern Spirit Bone like this would sell for around ten thousand spirit sands in the market. For cultivators like Han Yao, around ten thousand spirit sands wasn't much, but the key was that they had just walked along and directly dug up such a spirit bone, which was quite strange.

"Fellow Daoist Wang Bihui, how did you discover that such a spirit bone was buried here?" At this moment, He Lingxiu's voice rang out.

Her question voiced the thoughts of everyone present.

"Insidious."

Wang Li immediately looked at her with even greater admiration.

The cunning of this female cultivator from the Huayang Sect was everywhere.

Her feigned ignorance was a direct way to distance herself from the discovery of the spirit bone, making Han Yao and the others naturally think Wang Li was just strange and not suspect her.

He thought seriously and decided it was best to go along with her intentions for now.

After all, if they were to cooperate, the more secrets she kept, the more advantageous it would be for her when facing the others.

He was certain that He Lingxiu still harbored some fear towards her senior sister.

Furthermore, at Lone Mountain, her true identity had been seen through by her senior sister at a glance. If anything were to happen to him on this trip, and He Lingxiu returned safely, she would definitely face severe consequences.

Even the most insidious person would likely fear someone like her senior sister, who had no patience for nonsense.

From this perspective, within the White Bone Continent, his alliance with this girl from the Huayang Sect was quite stable.

"Its treasure light is already showing through."

So he nodded generously and said, "You guys didn't even notice? I didn't expect to just run into a Ghost Pattern Spirit Bone while walking around like this. Didn't you see the look on my face like I'd seen a ghost when I saw its treasure light?"

"There's really treasure light showing through?"

Ye Wan and the others exchanged glances.

They instinctively didn't believe it.

They hadn't seen any treasure light at all just now.

But Wang Bihui had indeed had a look of seeing a ghost on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Wang's luck seems to be quite good," Mu Yu, a Golden Core cultivator, said with a smile after hearing Wang Li's words.

"That's right!" Wang Li said somewhat proudly, "Actually, when I travel outside, I have another name: Wang Haoyun."

"..." Ye Wan and the others were completely speechless. They couldn't adapt to Wang Li's way of speaking at all.

Even Mu Yu was slightly taken aback, then said with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, "Then we'll be relying on Fellow Daoist Wang's luck."
