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

Cloud Pavilion.

After receiving help from Wang Xuan, Qi Yunxiao returned here from Xin Ruyin's residence.

They happened to meet a young man who looked ordinary but possessed the spiritual pressure of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

"Greetings, senior. May I ask what you need? Please feel free to take a look."

The newcomer was Han Li. He had heard in the market that the master of this place seemed to be a formation master from the Heavenly Star Sect.

Since his current cave dwelling lacked a high-level array to conceal divine sense, he went in to take a look.

"Just now, I observed those people who left. It seemed they needed a thousand-year-old elixir. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yunxiao looked at Han Li with surprise and nodded repeatedly.

"Absolutely! Only a thousand-year-old spiritual herb can save my life. If you have any, senior, you may choose anything in the shop!"

Han Li glanced around the shop, then took out a wooden box and presented it to Qi Yunxiao.

He wasn't afraid that this person would run away with the medicine; he was just a mere cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, so where could he possibly run to?

Moreover, he first handed the herbs to Qi Yunxiao for inspection, which also served another purpose: to show that he had come sincerely and did not want Qi Yunxiao to hide anything from him.

Han Li looked left and right but couldn't find a suitable formation, and was slightly disappointed.

With a flick of his wrist, Han Li drew the wooden box into his hand and said calmly, "It seems that you do not have the formation I am looking for here, so I will take my leave. I apologize for the inconvenience."

Seeing that Han Li was about to rush out the door, Qi Yunxiao quickly called him to stop.

Although Wang Xuan promised that he would give Xin Ruyin the thousand-year-old spiritual herb as long as the Reversed Five Elements Formation was repaired.

But when a beautiful medicinal herb is placed right in front of him, he finds it hard to resist.

Qi Yunxiao looked troubled, as the saying goes, an item cannot be sold twice at the same time.

If Wang Xuan knew about this, he might be furious.

Han Li noticed that Qi Yunxiao's expression kept changing, sometimes frowning and sometimes disappointed, and he couldn't figure out what the other was thinking.

However, it seems that this shop really doesn't have a suitable formation for itself.

If that's the case, then we'll just have to try our luck elsewhere.

After saying this, Han Li was about to turn and leave, and Qi Yunxiao wanted to stop him but couldn't find the words to say it.

If there were another formation here comparable to the Reversed Five Elements Formation, he wouldn't have let this opportunity slip away.

Han Li began to ponder which formation pavilion he should visit next.

This shop seems to be the most famous in this market; it looks like the only option left is to try and sell it at the auction.

Just as he stepped out of the shop, a familiar figure came into view.

Wang Xuan sized up the man in the yellowish-brown robe before him. He had an ordinary appearance, but his skin was slightly fairer due to the improvement in his life level after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Junior brother, what are you doing here?"

Han Li paused slightly, looking at Wang Xuan, who was dressed in white casual clothes and had a noble demeanor, with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

"You are... Senior Brother Wang?!"

Han Li was so surprised he couldn't speak; he had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, when he used his divine sense to probe Wang Xuan's cultivation level, he felt a slight obstruction.

However, he did not sense that aura of despair from Wang Xuan.

In other words, the senior brother's true cultivation level is at the Foundation Establishment stage, but it is concealed by a method of concealing his Qi.

"Haha, I didn't expect to run into you here, junior brother. Look at your cultivation, you've already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage!"

It's been seven years since the last Ascension Ceremony.

Han Li looked at Wang Xuan with a slightly excited expression.

Wang Xuan could be considered his only "family" in this world of cultivation.

One of the three great joys in life is meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Moreover, he has already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Even if his senior brother broke through a few days earlier, he should at most be in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

The most obvious example of a cultivator with two spiritual roots is Senior Sister Chen from Yellow Maple Valley.

However, the other party is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

He's already keeping up with his senior brother!

"We can chat later. Junior brother, are you here to buy an array formation?"

Han Li glanced at Qi Yunxiao inside. Judging from the other's expression, his senior brother seemed to be somewhat familiar with this shop owner.

"Yes, Junior Brother has now broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and has his own independent cave for cultivation."

Unfortunately, the array used to conceal divine sense was too rudimentary and didn't meet my expectations, so I thought I'd come here to take a look.

Han Li answered truthfully.

"I see... Let's go inside and talk. I'd also like to catch up with my junior brother."

Han Li nodded slightly; he also wanted to know something about Wang Xuan.

I wonder if the other major sects in Yue Kingdom are as stingy as Huangfeng Valley.

Inside the inner room.

Wang Xuan and Han Li sat facing each other, while Qi Yunxiao added tea to their cups. The shop was closed for the day.

"So, Senior Brother, you're now at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and you've become the only personal disciple of a late Core Formation stage cultivator?!"

Wang Xuan nodded with a smile; he loved seeing Han Li's surprised expression.

"You're not bad, are you? You've become Li Huayuan's apprentice, so you have a powerful backer now."

Han Li smiled bitterly. Although he was nominally Li Huayuan's disciple from Huangfeng Valley, he knew that...

But he actually had a good grasp of the weight.

Given his prejudice against his own spiritual aptitude, he would probably have considered him invisible long ago.

The reason he took me as his disciple was simply because he coveted the rare medicinal herbs I had brought out from the Blood Forbidden Land.

"By the way, senior brother, since Brother Qi has a friend who is skilled in formations, why don't you ask him to make a concealment formation for your junior brother?"

This thousand-year-old herb is the reward.

I observe that Brother Qi's complexion is rosy, and his cultivation has not yet reached a bottleneck. This medicine should not be intended for Brother Qi, but for someone else.

Qi Yunxiao looked at Han Li, surprised by the other's thoughtfulness, and said frankly, "Senior is right."

"The one who needs this thousand-year-old spiritual herb is none other than my friend who specializes in array formations."

She has contracted a condition called the Dragon's Roar Physique, which requires the medicinal properties of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs to suppress the illness; Senior Wang is aware of this.

"The Dragon's Roar Body," Han Li pondered for a moment before saying, "I have seen the Dragon's Roar Body in ancient texts."

It is said that this physique is extremely yang and vigorous, and male cultivators with this physique have the miraculous effect of cleansing their aptitude and greatly accelerating their cultivation.

There is no record of someone with the Dragon Roar Physique falling ill. Could it be that Brother Qi's friend is a woman?

Qi Yunxiao nodded awkwardly; as expected, he couldn't hide it any longer.

Han Li smiled as he looked at Qi Yunxiao, trying to understand what the other was thinking.

"What I just said still works. I'll give you the reward for this thousand-year-old spiritual herb now."

With my senior brother as a witness, I feel at ease. I hope your friend can help me create a formation that meets my expectations.

Qi Yunxiao solemnly accepted the wooden box and said seriously, "I will tell Ruyin about this. If we cannot refine the array that meets your expectations, this spiritual herb will definitely be returned intact!"

Han Li smiled and patted Qi Yunxiao on the shoulder, saying, "I believe in you. Even your senior brother thinks highly of you, so your character must be up to par."

Seeing the two of them exchanging pleasantries, Wang Xuan changed the subject.

"Now that you've broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, have you thought about your plans for the future?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li pondered and said, "It will definitely focus on improving cultivation level."

However, my junior brother has learned a great deal, including talismans and alchemy, so we can only take it one step at a time.

Senior brother has already broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage. Should he then prepare to break through to the Core Formation stage?

Wang Xuan smiled and nodded, "Same here. I haven't been to your Yellow Maple Valley yet, Senior Brother. How about you treat me and take me there?"

Han Li looked at Wang Xuan in surprise, clearly not expecting that Wang Xuan would actually go to Huangfeng Valley.

"As you know, senior brother, apart from cultivators of our sect who can move freely within their own territory, other cultivators must obtain permission to enter and visit."

Senior brother, your request is truly putting your junior brother in a difficult position.

Wang Xuan chuckled and said, "Who said I was going to visit the core area of ​​your Yellow Maple Valley?"

I'm just wandering around, it shouldn't be a big deal. Even if something happens, Huangfeng Valley can't do anything to me.

Don't forget, I am Elder Han's only personal disciple from Spirit Beast Mountain!

Han Li felt helpless upon hearing this. Although he didn't want Wang Xuan to go to his cave, what could he say now?

"Since Senior Brother wants to visit Junior Brother's cave, let's not delay and set off now."
