A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 102 Three Steps in a Row
Han Li pondered for a moment and took a deep breath.

He wouldn't have dared to be so direct with any other Core Formation cultivator.

But Master Hongfu's temperament was different.

This person won't engage in much small talk with you.

The more straightforward and frank you are, the more likely this person will think highly of you.

Of course, there are certain risks involved in saying anything.

If Master Hongfu is not the magnanimous and tolerant person he imagines, he will definitely be punished for saying those words.

Given his recent military achievements, he wouldn't necessarily be killed on the spot, but he would certainly receive a severe reprimand. And from then on, he would likely become disliked.

These are all prices that are highly likely to be paid.

Fortunately, he gave his sincerity to the right person:

"Master, I've learned from many members of the demonic path that the six sects of the demonic path possess a powerful cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. Because of that cultivator's existence, the demonic path is inherently invincible. Master should understand better than I what a powerful cultivator represents..."

Upon hearing this, Master Hongfu clenched her fists and responded:
"There are only three Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the entire Tiannan region, and any one of them is enough to suppress a country on his own."

This evaluation is very pertinent.

"Yes, any one of them could suppress a country single-handedly. And the seven sects have no chance of winning not only because of that person's existence, but also because that great cultivator is accompanied by the six major demonic sects. Apart from the Ghost Spirit Sect, any one of the six major demonic sects has the strength to directly face the combined forces of our seven sects in Yue Kingdom. With the six sects working together, let alone Yue Kingdom, even if Yuanwu Kingdom and Zijin Kingdom were to join forces, the disparity in strength would still be enormous."

Han Li spoke eloquently:

"The reason we were able to hold off the six demonic sects for so long, and the reason we were able to slow them down, wasn't because the demonic sects weren't strong, but because they had divided their forces; they had other battlefields to fight. Once the outcome of those other battlefields is decided..."

"Wait a minute, junior brother, now that the demonic path has divided its forces, don't we have a better chance of defending Yue Kingdom?"

Senior Sister Xiuting spoke up, revealing her own clear-headed foolishness.

"Senior Sister, it's true that the Demonic Path has split its forces, but the six sects of the Demonic Path can reunite at any time. Even if the Joyful Union Sect and the other six sects suffer setbacks on other battlefields, once their defeated forces converge on our side, how will our seven sects cope?"

"We could ask those nations and sects that won the war for help..."

Senior Sister Xiulan stopped mid-sentence.

They clearly realized what was happening.

Expecting the nations and sects that have temporarily blocked the demonic offensive to contribute manpower and resources to help them defend Yue Kingdom? That's too unrealistic.

Admittedly, the principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold" is something all intelligent people understand. But while this is a general principle that everyone understands, actually sending them to the battlefield to suffer losses is still too much to ask of those forces.

Moreover, in a disorganized situation, it is impossible for the parties to organize and manage the details in a disciplined manner.

The Heavenly Alliance hasn't been established yet.

Which neighboring country would be foolish enough to fight the Six Demonic Sects to the death for the benefit of others?
If they really had a sense of the big picture, the reinforcements from Yuanwu Kingdom and Zijin Kingdom should have arrived long ago. Why have they been dragging this out until now without a single soldier coming to their aid?

Unless the Yue Kingdom truly cannot withstand the onslaught, and only after the seven factions of Yue Kingdom have exhausted the demonic forces' fighting spirit as much as possible, the two countries may not send troops.

"Senior sisters, the Yue Kingdom cannot be saved unless a new major power is established that can bind the interests of many medium and small countries into an alliance for offense and defense, and then everyone can fight against the six sects of the demonic path together. Otherwise, we should make plans as soon as possible."

"To unite all nations and sects to form a new, powerful force that unites all sides? Is this an attempt to emulate the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, thousands of miles to the south?"

"Exactly."

Han Li did not shy away from expressing his thoughts.

His uprightness and honesty bordered on the wicked.

"A great idea. Unfortunately, it's difficult to implement."

Master Hongfu sighed softly.

Before the knife is cut into their own bodies, some countries and sects are unwilling to sacrifice themselves and contribute their manpower and effort.

In their view, perhaps the six sects of the demonic path could satisfy their appetite by conquering the Yue Kingdom and stop provoking the surrounding countries? Or perhaps the six sects of the demonic path only had their eyes on the Yue Kingdom, Yuanwu Kingdom, and Zijin Kingdom, which were rich and medium-sized countries, and did not intend to take drastic measures against other small countries and sects.

In short, it is difficult to achieve unity.

Unless that knife is hanging over everyone's head.

"Han Li, you've said so much to your master, do you have some other thoughts in mind?"

Based on my understanding of this apprentice, there will likely be more to come.

"Master, if you calculate the time, what major events that are closely related to the seven sects of Yue Kingdom are approaching in previous years?"

Is it closely related to the seven factions?
After pondering for a moment, Hong Fu looked towards the north:
"Could it be the Crimson Trial held once every five years?"

"Yes, Master, the Crimson Trial! We should get ready!"

Han Li snapped his fingers:
"The Crimson Forbidden Land is an important treasure land of the seven sects of my Yue Kingdom. It contains a large number of rare spiritual herbs that appear continuously."

"Among the many forbidden herbs, the most important are undoubtedly the three main ingredients for refining Foundation Establishment Pills. After all, the number of Foundation Establishment Pills determines the number of disciples a sect can recruit and the number of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the sect. Most of the Foundation Establishment Pills distributed by the Seven Sects in the past were refined from the three main ingredients provided by the forbidden lands."

"If we can take advantage of the fact that all eyes are focused on the battlefield of Jingu Plain and send a group of well-kept direct disciples in to make a fortune, then no matter what the outcome of the final battle is, Huangfeng Valley will have a greater margin of error than the other factions."

Upon hearing this, Xiuting and Xiulan's eyes lit up:
Yes.

With hundreds or even thousands of Foundation Establishment Pills suddenly added to the sect's inventory, how could the margin for error not increase at all?
They weren't sure if the other sects would decline in the short term, but at least Huangfeng Valley could still recruit disciples and train new people normally for the next few decades.

The quantity of Foundation Establishment Pills a sect possesses is its greatest advertisement.

A glint of brilliance also flashed in Master Hongfu's eyes:
The Yellow Maple Valley currently has less than a thousand Foundation Establishment Pills left in its warehouse. If the war continues, the resources accumulated over many years will most likely be exhausted by the demonic path. At that time, the sect will suffer a severe shortage of members and may not be able to continue operating.

However, if they could secretly enter the Crimson Forbidden Land behind the backs of the other six major sects and plunder some spiritual herbs, acquiring enough of the three main spiritual medicines to refine hundreds or even thousands of Foundation Establishment Pills, the sect's stability could be maintained for forty or fifty years.

At worst, there won't be a shortage of skilled workers.

"good idea."

That's incredibly bold.

She had never considered this before; she was truly adept at seizing opportunities!
If handled properly, it has great potential.

As for what Han Li is really thinking?

Naturally, he dispersed his energy and entered.

With two or three months left, he had enough time to use the secret technique of the Third Transformation to complete the dissipation of his cultivation.

“Master, this matter is beneficial to our sect’s thousand-year heritage. Please consider it carefully.”

Linghu Patriarch is still in seclusion, and the sect has Uncle Huang Nie and Uncle Huiming in charge.

As long as Master Hongfu can find a suitable excuse to leave the battlefield, she can assemble a lineup of three Core Formation stage cultivators.

The ancient wind-attribute forbidden array outside the Crimson Forbidden Land does not necessarily require seven Core Formation stage cultivators to act simultaneously. In fact, as long as the five special nodes of the ancient array's restrictions are blocked at the same time, and the firepower of seven early Core Formation stage cultivators is met, a passage large enough for Qi Refining cultivators to enter can be opened during the array's weakened period, which occurs once every five years.

The stronger the firepower, the less time it takes to open up a passage.

Of course.

How to gather enough Core Formation stage cultivators to open a passage in the wind-attribute array, and how to obtain the Moon Sun Pearl to clear the fog in the central area for herb gathering? These were not things Han Li needed to consider, but rather problems that Huangfeng Valley needed to solve.

His plan for Huangfeng Valley was already the most benevolent and righteous thing imaginable.

His request wasn't much; he just wanted a spot to get in.

"Han Li, I understand your intentions. You should go and rest now. I'll think about this matter some more."

Master Hongfu waved his hand and said.

This matter is of great importance, and she cannot make a decision on her own. She needs to discuss it thoroughly with Lei Wanhe, Junior Brother Du, Junior Brother Li, and others, and may even need to inform Uncle Linghu and personally explain the pros and cons.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call the suggestion from one's own disciple a grand plan for the sect's future over the next millennium.

However, the risks are also considerable.

If the other six factions seize this opportunity to exploit a weakness, Huangfeng Valley will never have an easy time afterward.

"The disciple retire."

Han Li stepped down.

Xiuting and Xiulan soon left as well.

However, they were ordered not to leave their respective tents.

The reasons are self-evident.

That night.

Yellow Maple Valley Campsite.

Hong Fu, Lei Wanhe, Feng Shishu, Du Shishu, Chen Laozu, and Li Huayuan, six Core Formation cultivators, gathered together.

Inside the tent, the formation was activated, accompanied by six layers of soundproofing.

"My five junior brothers, there's something I'm unsure whether I should say..."

...

The night passed.

The five Core Formation stage cultivators, each with their own thoughts, left Hong Fu's tent.

On the surface, this matter is merely about the sect's inheritance. But in reality, it also involves the personal interests of all those at the Core Formation stage.

Without him.

Forbidden Land Elixir!

Lei Wanhe, Li Huayuan, and the Chen family patriarch are all very qualified to speak on this point.

Lei Wanhe steadily increased his mana with the help of the Enhancement Pill refined from the forbidden land's spiritual herbs, solidifying his foundation at the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation realm. Once the opportunity presented by the Yan Family Fortress incident arrived, he quickly entered the late-stage Core Formation realm after a short period of seclusion.

The process was smooth and natural, without any sense of stagnation.

Although Li Huayuan had not yet reached the mid-stage of Core Formation, the pills he refined using rare spiritual herbs harvested from the Crimson Forbidden Land significantly increased his magical power and improved his cultivation. The past ten years of cultivation were equivalent to the arduous training of the previous decades.

Now, he is at the peak of the early stage of Core Formation.

If I could get a few more opportunities, I might be able to reach the mid-stage of Core Formation before the final battle, thus gaining more strength to protect myself.

The patriarch of the Chen family has been stuck at the bottleneck of the early stage of Core Formation.

It was the harvest from the forbidden area a few years ago that enabled him to take another step forward and successfully enter the mid-stage of Core Formation.

This person has also tasted the sweetness of success.

Besides the aforementioned individuals who had great ideas, Uncle Feng and Uncle Du were also very interested.

Both of them are somewhat ambitious.

Everyone wants to reach the late stage of Core Formation, or even make a final attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

How will you know you can't do it if you don't try?

The opportunity is right in front of them, and anyone who dares to stop them is an irreconcilable enemy.

Both for public and private reasons, it's worth stealing one.

Taking advantage of the fact that the demonic forces were busy invading, all parties were unable to spare any attention.

If successful, it would also help Huangfeng Valley gain some strength after its defeat.

If it fails…

Since they've already failed and Huangfeng Valley hasn't benefited, what can the other six factions do?
The only problem now is with Elder Linghu.

We must inform the patriarch about this.

then.

Everyone unanimously decided that Hong Fu would take Han Li, Xiu Ting, and Xiu Lan back to the sect.

This matter is of utmost importance and cannot afford any unforeseen circumstances. Since the three Foundation Establishment stage juniors already know about it, they absolutely cannot remain here. After all, there are many people and gossips in Jin Gu Plain; even a single charm spell could cause them to let slip the secret. Therefore, returning to their sect and going into seclusion for the time being is the best course of action.

As for why it was Hong Fu who led the people back, and not the other Core Formation stage cultivators?

The reason is very simple:
Han Li is too fat.

Any Core Formation cultivator would want to give them a sneak attack. Even an elder might be tempted to use underhanded tactics. How could Hong Fu trust anyone else?

No matter what, I have to lead the team myself.

The key point is that this not only makes sense in Huangfeng Valley, but also in the other six major sects of Yue Kingdom!
Because many Core Formation cultivators have witnessed Han Li's wealth.

Too fat.

Therefore, it was not surprising at all that Hong Fu wanted to take her several beloved disciples back to the sect to temporarily avoid the limelight.

In short:

Someone wants to send the disciple back to the sect? That's definitely an excuse; this person is probably up to no good.

But what if Hong Fu wants to send Han Li back to his sect? Oh, then it's alright.

Understand understand.

And this is exactly what Han Li needs.

Moreover, this was not because he and his two senior sisters were afraid of fighting, but because a group of Core Formation stage elders in the sect demanded that the Red Tassel Mountain lineage withdraw from Golden Drum Plain.

Upright and honest, open and aboveboard, upright in conduct and conduct... that's all there is to it.

...

First, participate in a major battle to make a name for yourself and gain a lot of merit and items.

He then proposed to return to his sect for recuperation.

Given his merits and special status, his small request is perfectly reasonable.

Next, he proposed selling the Fountain of Spirit Eyes and steered the conversation toward the broader situation of both sides.

Since they know the six sects of the demonic path are invincible, they naturally need to find a way out for themselves. If they can also find a way out for their sects, or gain some benefits, then they will not only be blameless, but will actually be a great achievement.

At this point, the timing of the Blood Trial in previous years was revealed.

For both public and private reasons, and for themselves and others, Master Hongfu and her other uncles had no reason to refuse.

However, since the matter was of great importance, he deliberately mentioned it in front of Xiulan and Xiuting. After considering it, the Core Formation stage cultivators naturally could not keep the two senior sisters.

With no more worries about the front lines, it would be perfectly reasonable for Master Hongfu to then dig out and intercept the pure spiritual energy within the Spirit Eye Spring, and use this as an opportunity to go into seclusion and refine that pure spiritual energy.

After taking these three steps in quick succession, the entire Hongying Mountain lineage was able to extricate themselves from the battlefield vortex.

After that, what business is it of the Hongyingshan faction of the life-and-death battles on the Jinguyuan battlefield?!

This can be considered his last act for the Hongying Mountain lineage before his strategic shift.

...

As for handing over the remnant souls of the Yuling Sect cultivators to warn everyone against the backstabbing from the Spirit Beast Mountain? Before the Yanling Fort incident, he would most likely have done that, using this great achievement to obtain cultivation resources.

But now, he won't do that. Nor does he need to.

He has acquired enough wealth and, incidentally, accumulated extremely abundant cultivation resources.

There's no need to sell this information.

Furthermore, he couldn't possibly have caused the deaths of Han Yunzhi and her brother.

Those were his two major assets in planning the Five Elements Spiritual Infant.

Besides, why bring it out now of all times? What are their intentions? Don't get yourself into trouble for no reason.

At last.

It is also the most important point.

On the surface, he's already quite wealthy. If he's further rewarded for this great achievement, he fears he'll become easy prey for all the Core Formation stage cultivators.

Why bother?
Contentment brings happiness.

...

Two or three days later.

The Hongying Mountain range quietly returned to the Taiyue Mountain of Jianzhou from the battlefield of Jinguyuan, where the three kingdoms of the east meet.

Upon returning, Han Li immediately pulled away Dong Xuan'er, who had been guarding the cave dwelling:
"Senior sister, come with me."

The two went to the side to whisper to each other.

"What's wrong, junior brother?"

"Senior sister, I'll be going to the Spirit Spring Cave with Master in a little while. You'll come along too. But you have to do me a favor..."

"what?"

"I urge Master to borrow a set of formations from the sect. A formation that can seal off spiritual energy from leaking out."

"You want to create a forbidden formation?"

"OK?"

"I'm afraid it won't work."

The girl shook her head:

"Forbidden arrays are usually one of the core secrets of a sect, controlled by the three major families. Even if Master is a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, it's impossible for him to hire the array masters specially trained by the three major families to set up another forbidden array. Moreover, Junior Brother, you should know the cost of setting up a forbidden array, even a small one, which requires hundreds of thousands of spirit stones to collect various materials. Furthermore, you should also understand the time required to set up a complete forbidden array, even one that only covers an area of ​​two or three hundred feet, which would take several array masters more than half a month. And right now, almost all the array masters trained by the sect have gone to the front lines, to the Golden Drum Plains battlefield or some frenzied areas and spirit herb gardens to reinforce the arrays..."

The channels are blocked.

The cost is too high.

The timing was unfortunate.

Time is far too scarce.

Several factors are holding it back.

"Senior Sister, the six demonic sects are coming on strong. We can't defend Yue Kingdom. Therefore, I wanted Master to dig up that Spirit Eye Spring to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. But I've also heard that Spirit Eye Springs that have been nurtured for over ten thousand years often contain some mysterious treasures. Last time, I obtained a bead, which I absorbed, and it made my cultivation advance by leaps and bounds. This time, my intuition tells me that there might be some other good stuff hidden inside that Spirit Eye Spring..."

Han Li was spouting nonsense with a straight face:

"Therefore, I hope that Master will take this seriously and use his most powerful interception formation in conjunction with another formation I have to act as a safety measure."

He wanted to intercept the pure spiritual energy within the Spirit Eye Spring as much as possible.

"Is that so? Okay, I'll mention it to my master."

Dong Xuan'er agreed to the matter.

Han Li nodded slightly, feeling relieved.

"Senior sister, I'll go back to my cave to prepare. You must come with Master in ten days."

"it is good."

...

Han Li returned to his cave dwelling and immediately left through a secret passage, heading towards the Yuanwu Kingdom.

They went to Xin Ruyin's residence.

The secluded place where master and servant lived was protected by a large array.

After tossing a communication jade slip into the grand formation, a misty passage slowly opened up shortly afterward. This formation, where even a Core Formation cultivator who dared to force their way in would perish, was now a formidable obstacle. Behind the passage, two slender figures and a short, stocky young man slowly approached. The one who spoke was none other than Xin Ruyin, the leader.
When we meet again, the old friends are still there, and their charm remains the same.

"Senior, you've arrived."

At this moment, Xin Ruyin was dressed in white, which gave people an indescribable sense of otherworldly grace.

Xiao Mei was dressed in a green palace-style outfit; her delicate features and lively personality made her equally pleasing to the eye.

Qi Yunxiao, on the other hand, remained as short and stocky as ever.

Standing next to him, he felt that his own ordinariness didn't seem so ordinary anymore; instead, it made him look rather handsome and refined.

“Fellow Daoist Xin, I dare not accept the title of ‘senior.’ Since you have already established your foundation, let us address each other as ‘fellow Daoist’ from now on.”

"Then, shall I address you as Brother Han from now on?"

"Please feel free, young lady."

Han Li smiled outwardly, but sighed inwardly.

This woman has chosen a path of no return, one that leads nowhere.

Once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, if you start cultivating and the Dragon Roar Qi within your body backfires, even the Snow Cloud Pill might not be effective. Furthermore, how many Snow Cloud Pills will this woman have left after using them to aid her Foundation Establishment? And how long will they last?
Of course, it's not really a case of certain death.

There is still a way out.

If you enter the sect during the Qi Refining stage, you'll be devoured until there's not even a bone left.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, joining a sect will undoubtedly attract the attention of a Core Formation cultivator like him. Having a Core Formation elder request assistance from the sect's Nascent Soul ancestor would significantly increase the chances of success.

It seems that Xin Ruyin herself saw this path to survival.

Otherwise, why would they be so persistent in breaking through their cultivation level?
'Xin Ruyin, how far can you ultimately go on your own?'

He was increasingly looking forward to this woman's future achievements.

In this woman, he seemed to see... his own reflection.

...

The three of them found their usual spot and sat down.

Xiao Mei was in charge of brewing and serving the tea.

Instead of getting down to business, everyone took a few sips of tea.

It must be said that besides her intelligent and virtuous nature and her extraordinary talent in array formations, Xin Ruyin's tea-making skills are also unparalleled. Not only did he think it was excellent, but even Master Hongfu praised it highly after tasting the fragrant tea.

After three sips of tea, Qi Yunxiao was the first to lose his composure:

"Senior, do you still have any cold-attribute spiritual herbs such as Iceberg Snow Lotus or Snow Cloud Pill?"

His tone carried a hint of anxiety.

Upon hearing this, Han Li choked first, coughing.

"What's wrong, senior?"

Qi Yunxiao blinked.

Xin Ruyin smiled, pursing her lips.

Han Li waved his hand:
"Fellow Daoist Qi, do you know how rare it is to find an 800-year-old snow lotus?"

Do you really think that such a rare and precious elixir, which even experts at the Core Formation stage would fight over, is as common as cabbage?
The fact that he was able to get three plants was all the spoils he had obtained ten years ago when he risked his life in the Crimson Forbidden Land.

"Are there no more seniors?"

Qi Yunxiao was somewhat discouraged and dejected.

"Brother Qi, it's alright. Things will work themselves out. As long as I refrain from further cultivation and avoid fighting, the probability of the dragon's roar energy within me causing a backlash will be much lower. Even if there is a slight backlash, it won't be fatal."

Xin Ruyin comforted her.

Qi Yunxiao shook his head:

"No, it shouldn't be like this. Why should you suffer like this, Miss Xin? Your future is so bright."

Other mediocre people can peacefully cultivate immortality.

Miss Xin, a genius in array formations with exceptional talent, is unfortunately restricted and tormented by the strange disease of the Dragon Roar Physique.

Why is the world so unfair?

"It's not that there aren't other ways to obtain new cold-attribute spiritual herbs."

Han Li then spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin and Qi Yunxiao both perked up and turned around to look.

He didn't keep them in suspense, but directly revealed the source of the elixir:
"In my Yue Kingdom, there exists a blood-red forbidden land shrouded by an ancient wind-attribute array. Within it, the ancient environment of heaven and earth is preserved, and because of this, many ancient spiritual herbs still grow there. The three Iceberg Snow Lotuses that I obtained earlier were fortunately found within it..."

"Senior, is it still possible to find cold-attribute spiritual herbs inside?"

Qi Yunxiao's eyes were burning.

Han Li remained noncommittal and did not give a direct answer.

Instead, they started talking about other serious matters:

"Gentlemen, has there been any new progress on the Inverted Five Elements Formation I requested?"

"Senior, we have achieved results." Qi Yunxiao hurriedly took out a brand-new array-setting tool from his storage bag: "Seventy percent, this array already has seventy percent of the power of the complete Reversed Five Elements Array."

"It's 70% effective?"

Han Li's eyes lit up.

"Yes, senior. Give us a few more years, and we will definitely be able to perfectly replicate the Inverted Five Elements Formation and simplify it into some of the array-setting tools."

Qi Yunxiao said with certainty.

"Can it prevent spiritual energy from leaking out?"

"Of course it can, the Reversal of the Five Elements Formation is a forbidden formation. However, it is bound to have flaws, and its sealing effect on spiritual energy cannot be as complete as the full version."

"Okay." That's enough.

This trip was worthwhile.

Han Li was overjoyed.

However, he didn't show it on his face.

What would you two like?

“Brother Han, this is already a promise between the two of us, so there is no need for you to give us anything extra. Besides, last time, Brother Han left 20,000 spirit stones to purchase related equipment, and we still haven’t used up the array materials purchased with those spirit stones.”

Xin Ruyin said with a smile.

"It's alright, that's not how you calculate things," Han Li waved his hand.

The raw material cost for each individual component of the Inverted Five Elements Array is not high, only two or three hundred spirit stones. This is comparable to the price of an ordinary top-tier magic weapon. If it were a complete set of array-setting equipment, the material cost would be two or three thousand.

But this is just the cost of materials.

Don't forget the labor costs.

What truly makes the Reversed Five Elements Array so precious and rare is Qi Yunxiao's meticulous crafting over dozens or even hundreds of days and nights, Xin Ruyin's countless days and nights of design, and Qi Yunxiao's collaboration in imprinting hundreds or thousands of rune circuits onto the core array plate, which is the size of a washbasin.

This is where the true value lies.

Although Xin Ruyin, who is quite wealthy, may not be short of spirit stones.

But he still wanted to express his goodwill.

"senior…"

Qi Yunxiao was about to ask for some more high-quality cold-attribute pills when Xin Ruyin unusually interrupted him:
"Brother Han, do you still have any Foundation Establishment Pills?"

"Foundation Pill?"

Han Li gave Xin Ruyin a strange look:
"Fellow Daoist Xin, are you preparing something in advance for Fellow Daoist Qi and Miss Xiaomei?"

"Yes."

The girl in white nodded.

Upon seeing this, Qi Yunxiao's nose tingled with emotion: "Miss Xin, this..."

Xiaomei was also deeply moved: "Miss..."

"Alright, Brother Qi, I was able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage entirely thanks to your strong support. If we have the means, we will naturally try our best to help you. As for Xiaomei, you have followed me since childhood. Although we are master and servant, we are like sisters. How can I only think of myself?"

Xin Ruyin's words deeply moved the two of them.

After the three had calmed down, Han Li spoke:
"How many Foundation Establishment Pills would Fellow Daoist Xin like?"

These words delighted the girl in white.
"Brother Han, what's the maximum number you can provide?"

For those in the Qi Refining stage who haven't yet established their foundation, the more Foundation Establishment Pills they have, the better.

"Fellow Daoist Xin, this puts me in a bit of a dilemma."

Han Li frowned slightly as he rhythmically tapped his knuckles on the table, seemingly deep in thought and weighing his options.

Xin Ruyin hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and took out a box:
"Brother Han, do you think this item could be exchanged for four Foundation Establishment Pills?"

Inside the box was a blue jade slip.

His mind sank into the jade slip.

He immediately became engrossed in it and couldn't extricate himself.

　Thank you for your well wishes.

　　I also wish that all readers who haven't yet met their ideal girl or boy will soon meet their ideal partner and eventually enter into marriage.

　　Wishing all my brothers and sisters who have already joined hands a long and happy marriage, and a long and healthy life.

　　Remember to give me your monthly pass and recommendation votes, thank you!

　　Finally: Happy National Day, everyone!
