Mortal: Fifteenth Realm Sword Cultivator

Han Li quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

If someone in the Qi Refining stage is allowed to go out and search alone, and something unexpected happens, the plan to repair the ancient array diagram in a short time might be ruined...

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you to the market to find her."

Qi Yunxiao was taken aback at first, then excitedly cupped his hands in greeting, his voice trembling slightly.

"Thank you so much, Brother Han!"

Han Li waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for such formalities.

"Without further ado, let's set off immediately."

After saying that, he didn't forget to add a sentence.

"Remember, you must conceal your appearance."

Qi Yunxiao nodded vigorously and quickly ran into the inner room, took out a bamboo hat and clothes, and disguised himself.

Han Li took out a mask and put it on, a sense of foreboding quietly creeping into his heart.

Normally, I would never get involved in something like this.

But now he holds the Great Shift Order, all he needs is the right opportunity.

Once the ancient teleportation array is repaired, you can leave at any time.

If we hesitate now and miss an opportunity, wouldn't we regret it deeply later?

He risked his life to enter the Crimson Forbidden Land back then; otherwise, Foundation Establishment would have been as unattainable as a mirage for him.

Caution is a lifesaver, but sometimes, even with risks, it's worth fighting for.

Han Li ran his fingertips across the cold noodles, a faint glint of light flickering in his eyes.

Those who bear the risks themselves find it difficult to make a move.

Those who do their best will have no regrets once they've made a move.

After Han Li confirmed that Qi Yunxiao's disguise was flawless, he specifically instructed him not to mention the ancient teleportation array diagram to anyone.

Once everything was ready, the two left the courtyard.

The lights of the market town in the distance began to slowly illuminate.

Instead of asking around, the two chose to search street by street.

With Han Li's Foundation Establishment cultivator divine sense, the efficiency was very high.

Before setting off, Qi Yunxiao had already described Xin Ruyin's general appearance and clothing characteristics in detail.

This carpet search may seem clumsy, but it is the safest way to avoid missing anything.

Of course, Han Li did not recklessly release his divine sense. Every time he swept across, he deliberately avoided the crowd to avoid being caught by them and being seen as a provocation.

Qi Yunxiao followed closely behind Han Li, his body radiating an intense heat.

Unlike Han Li, who remained calm, she kept looking around, trying to find that familiar figure first.

Unfortunately, his gaze lingered briefly on passersby before quickly shifting away in disappointment.

Tianxingzong Market Town, a border town, is neither too big nor too small.

It took several hours in total.

They walked through every street, from ordinary shops to Star Dust Pavilion, but still couldn't find Xin Ruyin.

If it weren't for the no-fly zone, Qi Yunxiao would have loved to use a flying talisman to search every inch from above.

As for whether Xin Ruyin will go somewhere else?

Totally impossible.

This is one of the largest markets in the Yuanwu Kingdom.

As a woman at the seventh level of Qi Refining, there was no reason for her to go to great lengths to purchase materials.

Seeing Qi Yunxiao so distraught, Han Li was at a loss for words to comfort him.

Just as I was hesitating, a clear voice came from behind me.

"Fellow Daoists, please wait a moment."

Han Li paused slightly, his vigilance rising, but he stopped as instructed and turned around.

A middle-aged cultivator dressed in a scholar's robe stood a few feet away, his face refined, his eyes revealing a hint of shrewdness.

Han Li remained calm and asked in a deep voice, "Is there something you need, sir?"

The scholar bowed and said, "I am Wang Ziling. I have been staying here for many years and am quite well-informed about all kinds of news. I just saw that you two were looking around. Perhaps I can do my bit to save you some time."

Upon hearing this, Han Li asked, "Are you Feng Xingzi?"

The hyacinth, or as some might say, is essentially a middleman who sells information.

Such people often have poor spiritual roots and are unable to improve their cultivation level, so they have no hope of cultivation, but they do not want to return to the mortal world.

So he made a living by reselling various information and earning some spirit stones.

Because both of them were covering their faces, Prince Ling could not see their facial expressions.

But hearing Han Li say that, he felt that this business deal was promising, and quickly replied with a smile, "Pretty much."

"Then you see..."

Qi Yunxiao was extremely anxious and immediately wanted to ask about Xin Ruyin's whereabouts, but Han Li, who was beside him, directly raised his hand to interrupt him.

Han Li's tone was calm, revealing little emotion. "Alright, then tell me what noteworthy things or news have happened in the market recently."

After saying that, he raised his hand and sent a spirit stone flying towards Prince Ling.

The latter moved with practiced ease, flipping his wrist to put the item into his storage bag, a smile spreading across his face.

It was already late at night, and there were few pedestrians, so it wasn't too abrupt.

However, Wang Ziling still looked around cautiously to make sure no one was paying attention before lowering his voice.

It is said that a secret shop is about to hold an auction, and the grand finale is said to be a top-tier magic artifact that is rarely seen outside.

Yesterday, "Baicaotang" released news that they had obtained several youth-preserving pills.

As the scholar spoke, he kept glancing at Han Li out of the corner of his eye.

But after he presented these messages, the other party neither asked any further questions nor interrupted him.

Wang Ziling felt a little uneasy, unsure of what the other party was truly concerned about.

Logically speaking, what cultivators seek are nothing more than magical artifacts, spiritual stones, and elixirs.

Considering the other person's hurried pace and apparent anxiety, the scholar tentatively said, "I've heard that the Fu family patriarch of Yuanwu Kingdom will soon celebrate his two-hundredth birthday. In addition, it seems that in order to curry favor with the Demon Flame Sect, his disciples are searching everywhere for beautiful women with cultivation. Just today, a rogue cultivator was forcibly abducted from the market..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yunxiao was struck as if by lightning. He swayed and almost lost his voice.

In recent decades, among all the rogue cultivators in the Yuanwu Kingdom, who didn't know that the Fu family patriarch was a womanizer?

They never offend those major sects or powerful forces.

They specifically target small sects, families, and unsavory cultivators in the mountains and marshes.

Any female cultivator he fancied was subjected to coercion and enticement; if she refused to comply, he would forcibly abduct her.

Han Li waved his hand, and another five spirit stones flew into the other party's arms.

Do you know what that woman looks like and what she's wearing?

The scholar quickly accepted it, overjoyed. The news had already spread far and wide; he never expected it could be sold for money.

"I dare not deceive you two fellow Daoists. I did not see her appearance in person. I only heard a few acquaintances mention her, saying that she was dressed in a plain white dress, had a beautiful face, and a very unique temperament."

Hey……

Han Li sighed inwardly.

I knew it would turn out this way.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yunxiao's vision went black, and he staggered, nearly falling over.

Seeing his reaction, the scholar narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, then cautiously asked, "Could it be that the woman is... a member of your family?"

Han Li snorted coldly, his voice warning, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

The latter quickly waved his hand, smiling apologetically and saying repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I was just being nosy."

Han Li asked, "Are they still here? How many are there? What is their highest cultivation level?"

The scholar did not answer immediately, but slowly began to rub his hands together, clearly intending to raise the price on the spot.
