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

About a week later.

An unfamiliar cultivator arrived at Tainan Valley and stood in front of the Pill Pavilion.

Han Li's expression changed several times, but in the end he released his cultivation and requested to meet Huang Gu.

Xiao Liuzi dared not be negligent when he saw that Han Li was a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

He immediately and respectfully invited Han Li to a private room on the second floor to consult with Elder Huang.

After a while, Old Huang arrived and told Xiao Liu to go about his business first. Then he met with Han Li.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. That brat Wang Xuan has already explained the matter to me."

He should be in seclusion in the herb garden in the backyard right now, cultivating his skills. I will send him a message on your behalf.

Han Li bowed and said, "Then I thank Fellow Daoist Huang in advance. Please hurry."

In the herb garden.

Wang Xuan, who was in the midst of arduous cultivation, received a transmission talisman from Elder Huang.

The restriction was lifted, and it turned out to be Junior Brother Han.

After activating the Reversed Five Elements Formation, Wang Xuan retrieved the Spirit Water Pearl and went to meet with Han Li.

"Junior Brother Han, have you finished your business?"

When Wang Xuan arrived at the private room, Old Huang tactfully left on his own and placed a soundproof barrier around it.

Han Li nodded and said, "It's all taken care of, but unfortunately there were some issues on the way, which delayed us for a few days."

"I wonder how the matter you asked me to handle is going? Has Miss Ruyin repaired the ancient teleportation array?"

Wang Xuan took out the ancient teleportation array diagram, and the missing corner was marked with detailed preservation methods.

Explain each step and why this repair procedure is followed.

Xin Ruyin is very meticulous in her work, which Wang Xuan greatly appreciates.

"Take a look for yourself. Now that you've finished your business, let's rest in this valley for a while."

"Once things have calmed down, we'll head to the abandoned mine at Yan Family Fort and use this ancient teleportation array!"

Han Li frowned slightly and asked, "Why did you make this decision, Senior Brother?"

Wang Xuan looked at Han Li with deep eyes and said, "Because Senior Brother plans to break through to the Core Formation stage here!"

"Breakthrough to the Core Formation stage?!" Han Li's pupils widened in shock as he abruptly looked at Wang Xuan.

"Senior brother is not joking. Breaking through the bottleneck of the Core Formation stage is not so easy."

Even among cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots, the earliest junior brother to form his Core was said to be fifty or sixty years old!

Senior brother, you're only thirty years old; you can't act rashly.

Han Li reminded Wang Xuan that he knew this senior brother's aptitude was far superior to his own.

But in the end, it's only a dual spiritual root, and the bottleneck at the Core Formation stage is still quite significant.

Moreover, the spiritual energy here is scarce, making it difficult for Foundation Establishment cultivators to cultivate even in hardship, let alone something as important as breaking through a bottleneck.

Breaking through the bottleneck of one's cultivation level requires a large amount of spiritual energy to be absorbed into the body.

Even with the help of absorbing extremely old spiritual herbs, Senior Brother Wang didn't have the little green bottle...

Thinking about this, Han Li finally understood Wang Xuan's plan.

Wang Xuan smiled without saying a word, looked at Han Li, stood up and patted the other's shoulder.

"Please, Junior Brother Han, if I successfully form my core, I will also try to secure an opportunity for you to do so afterward!"

My senior brother only has a Core Formation spiritual item, and the quality of his own spiritual power is also extremely high.

Furthermore, my soul strength is much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators, so my chances of breaking through to the Core Formation stage this time are about 70%!

Such a probability requires me, your senior, to take a gamble. Whether I succeed or fail, we'll know in a few years.

Han Li pursed his lips, wanting to speak but unable to utter a word, and could only let out a soft sigh.

"Then I, your junior brother, would like to congratulate you, senior brother. If you successfully form your core, it will be extremely beneficial to you as well."

Then, junior brother, I will open up a hidden cave nearby for cultivating spiritual plants.

Unfortunately, the formation that Miss Ruyin gave me was still not very effective at concealment.

If a Core Formation expert were to pass by, they might be able to discover a clue.

"Does Senior Brother possess any even more effective formations?"

Wang Xuan looked at Han Li speechlessly, a thought rising in his mind, just like his master Li Huayuan's.

It's true what they say, no one gets up early for nothing!

However, he still took out the Inverted Five Elements Formation given to him by Xin Ruyin and threw it to Han Li.

That old woman, Nangong Wan, should start looking for Han Li soon.

The Five Elements Reversal Formation was used to conceal the cave where Han Li cultivated spiritual plants.

With their mid-stage Core Formation cultivation, the other party shouldn't be able to detect it.

"I'll leave this formation with you for now. Once I successfully form my core, I won't need it anymore."

But if I fail to break through this time, you must return it to me.

Han Li took the array flag and studied it carefully with his divine sense.

After glancing at it twice, Han Li's eyes lit up with joy, and he immediately put it into his storage bag.

"Thank you, Senior Brother. I'll go cultivate the spiritual plant for you right away!"

Wang Xuan sighed and said to Han Li, "Give me your array formation first, I'll make do with it for now."

Han Li nodded and gave his "Invisible Bewildering Array" to Wang Xuan.

After the handover was completed, Wang Xuan returned to the herb garden to continue his seclusion.

Han Li temporarily built a cave dwelling around Tainan Valley.

Having truly witnessed the power of the Reversed Five Elements Formation, Han Li was full of praise for it.

Not only is it extremely deceptive, but it can also use the power of the five elements to suppress and kill enemies.

A masterpiece that seamlessly integrates offense and defense!

Han Li placed the small green bottle in a well-lit spot and began preparing to disperse his internal energy using the Third Revolution Heavy Yuan Technique.

With his aptitude, breaking through to the Core Formation stage would be incredibly difficult!

Without the support of high-purity spiritual energy, he would have an extremely difficult time during the solidification stage of spiritual energy, let alone condensing the golden core!

"It just so happens that my senior brother is in seclusion, so I'll study this formation."

Unfortunately, without the notes of a master of formations, one cannot draw upon the wisdom of predecessors to enrich oneself.

"Let's first see how talented we are in formations. If we're not very good at it, we can plan for it later."

……

Just as Han Li and Wang Xuan entered seclusion, a female cultivator arrived at Tai Nan Valley.

Nangong Wan looked at the Dan Pavilion in front of her with a calm expression, but she walked in with a mix of nervousness and anticipation.

I really don't know why I'm so concerned about a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Patting her face, Nangong Wan reminded herself that she was a Core Formation cultivator and couldn't lose face!

"Senior, what kind of elixir do you require?"

Xiao Liu has become numb lately.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators, who are usually elusive and rarely seen, are now coming every few days.

As expected of Uncle-Master Wang Xuan, his influence is truly immense!

"No need. I came here to see Elder Huang Gu of your esteemed residence. Just tell him I am from the Hidden Moon Sect and have something to discuss with him."

Xiao Liu sensed something was off, but still agreed with a smile.

"Yes, senior. I will inform Elder Huang immediately. Please move to a private room on the second floor and wait a moment."

As an elder of the Hidden Moon Sect, it was extremely easy for Nangong Wan to inquire about the whereabouts of a disciple.

Ultimately, according to what Senior Sister Hongfu of Huangfeng Valley told them, Song Meng and Zhong Weiniang seemed to have mentioned that Han Li was going back to Jingzhou.

Based on her experience at the Ascension Ceremony, Nangong Wan quickly learned about this Pill Pavilion and came here to take a look.

Unexpectedly, that little guy with dual spiritual roots and a cultivation level of Qi Refining Great Perfection has now actually cultivated to the Pseudo Core stage!

That person's talent and destiny are truly terrifying!

Thinking back to when she reached the Pseudo-Core stage, she must have been in her forties or fifties.

After that, at the age of over seventy, he broke through to the Core Formation stage!

He was also identified by a Supreme Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect as the cultivator with the greatest potential to form a Nascent Soul in the future.

She is only a little over a hundred years old, yet she has already reached the mid-stage of Core Formation, and is not far from the late stage!

But the way the other party was showing was even more outrageous than that of a cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

After sitting in the private room for a while, Old Huang arrived in a great hurry.

When he couldn't figure out Nangong Wan's cultivation level, he broke out in a cold sweat.

This situation indicates that the woman is actually a Core Formation stage senior!

The Spirit Beast Mountain sect, where Wang Xuan mingled, betrayed him during the war between the righteous and the demonic.

I wonder if this Core Formation Elder's sudden visit was to take his anger out on him, or if he had something else to say?

"Junior Huang Gu pays respects to Senior Yan Yue Sect. May I ask your name?"

Nangong Wan replied calmly, "My surname is Nangong, and my given name is Ping."

Huang Lao's mind raced. He didn't seem to have heard of the Core Formation Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect named Nangong.

However, this didn't stop him from feigning sudden realization: "Oh! So it's Senior Nangong! I'm so sorry for not greeting you sooner, please forgive me!"

Nangong Wan frowned and went straight to the point: "You don't need to flatter me like that. I'm not here to cause you any trouble."

"I'd like to ask you about someone. Has a cultivator surnamed Han ever been here?"

Huang Gu had someone in mind, but he still didn't dare to answer casually.

"A cultivator surnamed Han... This junior's Pill Pavilion usually has quite a few guests."

Even when some Foundation Establishment experts come here, the shop assistants don't dare to ask their names.

Not to mention Qi Refining cultivators, there are quite a few of them, and I haven't heard of any cultivator surnamed Han who has come here.

Nangong Wan got a little anxious when she heard this. She had chased her all the way here, and she still dared to play hide-and-seek with her!

A slight spiritual pressure was released, enveloping Huang Gu, and Nangong Wan's tone turned colder: "Are you sure?!"

Despite the immense pressure, which nearly caused him internal injuries, Huang Gu still refused to give in.

Wang Xuan, who was watching from the shadows, couldn't stand it any longer.

Although he knew the other party was looking for Han Li, who knew if this old woman would attack him because of his status as a disciple of the Spirit Beast Mountain?

However, he couldn't let Huang Gu bear all the pressure.

He immediately released his pseudo-core stage spiritual pressure and began to resist Nangong Wan.

Nangong Wan felt the sudden surge of pseudo-elixir spiritual pressure, raised an eyebrow, and showed a hint of interest on her face.

"No wonder, no wonder those young people from the demonic path couldn't find you. So you were hiding here."

"You two, master and disciple, one went into seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and the other hid back in your hometown. How afraid are you?"
