Chapter 128 – Tai Nan Small Meeting

　　”Brother is a disciple of that family?” After the teenager excitedly finished looking at the mist in front of him, he seemed to remember something and turned his head to ask.

　　Han Li was known from his casual conversation with the teenager earlier that in addition to the various Immortal Cultivation Portals and Cultivation Families in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, there were also quite a few scattered cultivators that existed.

　　The so-called casual cultivators, most of whom were either the descendants of broken cultivation families, or ordinary people like Han Li who had inadvertently obtained certain immortal cultivation techniques and entered the immortal cultivation world on their own, and others were small portal heirs who had nearly severed their inheritance and other people of that origin. The cultivation level of most of these loose cultivators is not high, generally can only hover in the refining stage, so the loose cultivators have always been not very important by the people of the immortal cultivation family, rather some look down on the meaning, just as the secular world’s rich households can not look down on the poor and downtrodden ragtag households as well.

　　”I am not a person from a certain family, but have been practicing on my own!” After thinking for a moment, Han Li also decided to tell the truth. After all, posing as someone from another family would be too easily uncovered.

　　”Your Excellency is a casual cultivator!” The young man was a bit surprised, but his face didn’t have any discriminatory look on it, instead, he was a bit pleasantly surprised.

　　He excitedly circled around Han Li, re-surveying him as if he were looking at a rare object.

　　”Didn’t little brother just say that Immortal Cultivation Families look down on casual cultivators? Why are you still so happy?” Han Li asked with some surprise.

　　”They’re them, don’t confuse our Wan Family with other Immortal Cultivation Families? People from our family have always befriended the loose cultivators!” The teenager turned his mouth away and replied proudly. It seemed very proud of his family’s practices!

　　”The ancestor of our Wan Family was originally a casual cultivator as well, but then he luckily entered the Immortal Cultivation Sect and became an official disciple of the Giant Sword Sect, which led to the creation of our Wan Family. That’s why in our Wan Family’s family rules, there’s always been the ancestral motto of not allowing discrimination against casual cultivators.” The teenager said with a smile.

　　”In fact, not only our Wan Family, there are some other families whose ancestors were also casual cultivators, so they don’t have any ill feelings towards casual cultivators, it’s just that these families make up a little too small a percentage of all the Immortal Cultivation Families, and that’s why there’s the saying that Immortal Cultivation Families discriminate against casual cultivators.” The teenager shook his head and said.

　　”That’s so! It seems that I’m still relatively lucky to have stumbled upon a Wannabe like little brother for the first time.” After Han Li heard and understood the other party’s words, after revealing his identity as a casual cultivator, while being somewhat wary of the teenager, his mind faded a bit.

　　”But brother, you asked so many things along the way that everyone in the Immortal Cultivation World knows about, could it be that you’re also a newcomer who just left the mountain?” The young man’s eyes rolled, somehow suddenly smartening up, and he said with some sudden realization.

　　Upon hearing this, Han Li smiled faintly on his face and patted the youngster’s shoulder with his hand, saying somewhat apologetically, “I’m not intentionally deceiving my little brother, it’s just that I’ve just entered the Immortal Cultivation World not long ago, and I have some concerns about it!”

　　”It’s alright, I don’t mind! But this big brother, it’s time to tell me your name! And just call me Xiaoshan directly in the future.” Wan Xiaoshan was obviously also a self-cooked type of person and said with a face full of unconcern.

　　”Hehe! My name is Han Li, I have indeed just come into contact with the Immortal Cultivation World not long ago, so I hope Brother Xiaoshan will take care of me more!” Han Li felt even more favorable towards Wan Xiaoshan, and spoke in a much more easygoing tone.

　　”No problem, Brother Han feel free to ask if you don’t know anything, hehehe! I didn’t think that I, Wan Xiaoshan, would have the time to teach others?” Wan Xiaoshan spoke in a godly manner.

　　”If I have any questions, I will definitely ask for your guidance, Xiaoshan. However, isn’t it time for us to enter the valley!” Han Li pointed at the sky and smiled faintly.

　　”Oops! I almost forgot about the main event.” After Wan Xiaoshan followed Han Li’s finger and glanced toward the sky, he immediately exclaimed with his hands full.

　　The teenager busied himself on his body for half a day before finally pulling out a piece of talisman paper from within his arms.

　　He held it in his hand and gestured a few times, and whispered a few words before throwing the paper into the air, turning into a ray of fire that rushed into the mist and disappeared.

　　”Big Brother Han wait a moment, I will transmit this soundtrack to the valley in a moment, and the people in the valley will release the formation to receive us.” Seeing that Han Li was somewhat mesmerized by the direction of the disappearing firelight, the teenager explained.

　　”Oh!” Han Li nodded in understanding.

　　”Big Brother Han came to Tai Nan Valley this time, so I’m sure he brought quite a few exchange items with him, right? Can you tell us about them so that Little Brother can hear about them. Don’t be embarrassed, then little brother will open his mouth and talk about his own things first!”

　　”I brought one dozen of Primary Lower Order Blank Talisman Paper, two each of Primary Lower Order Stealth Talisman and Transportation Talisman, one Primary Intermediate Order Consecutive Thunder Talisman, one dozen of Primary Lower Order Ice Bomb Talisman, one piece of Iron Essence, one bottle of Primary Cinnabar, one bunch of whiskers of the Demonic Beast Three-tailed Cat, and medicinal herbs ……” Wan Xiaoshan didn’t even notice Han Li, who was already dumbfounded, rattling off his fingers and uttering a whole bunch of things.

　　”Alright! It’s time for Big Brother Han to speak, hehe! Big brother how your face is so white, you ……” The teenager blinked his eyes, somewhat unable to understand so looked at Han Li.

　　”Could it be that to enter the Tai Nan Valley, one must prepare something?” Han Li’s face was ugly.

　　”That’s not a stipulation!” Wan Xiaoshan replied dryly.

　　Upon hearing this, Han Li’s face immediately looked much better.

　　”But since we’re here in Tai Nan Valley at this time, we’re definitely here to participate in the Tai Nan Minor Meeting, so who wouldn’t bring something with them? This is a trading event that is held once every five years, specifically for our Arashi Prefecture juniors! Especially since this Immortal Ascension Conference will also be held in our Arashi Prefecture in a month’s time, there will be even more people who will be coming here to attend the Tai Nan Xiao Hui by the way. Could it be that big brother isn’t known to come to the Tai Nan Minor Fair?” The youngster uttered the above statement in shock, looking at Han Li with a disbelieving gaze.

　　Han Li smiled bitterly.

　　”Brother Xiaoshan, I indeed didn’t know that there was going to be any Tai Nan Minor Meeting here, I only inadvertently learned that there were other Immortal Cultivators residing in this place, so I wanted to come to make some acquaintances, which had I ever specifically prepared anything?” Han Li said helplessly with both hands divided.

　　”So that’s how it is! Then it’s too bad that Big Brother Han will have to waste this good opportunity. One must know that there aren’t many chances to get the materials for the items one lacks.” Wan Xiaoshan had a look of regret on his face as he sighed repeatedly for Han Li.

　　”However, it can’t be said that there’s nothing on my body that can be exchanged, at the very least, aren’t there two talismans?” Han Li thought to himself mockingly.

　　At this time, the dense fog in front of Han Li’s duo suddenly tumbled up, and then as if it had been split open with a knife, it divided into a path that could be used for the two of them to walk side by side, the other end of which could not be seen at a glance and seemed to be very far away.

　　”Alright, let’s go!” The teenager happily tossed a grimace at Han Li, and then rushed in first with gusto, disappearing into the road while Han Li indifferently scrutinized the path for a while before stepping in, walking steadily and unhurriedly.

　　The path seemed long, but after only a few moments of walking, it reached the end of the road.

　　When Han Li stepped out of the intersection, he felt his eyes suddenly light up, and a green valley filled with exotic flowers and grasses appeared in front of him. The valley was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the only exit was the mountainside that Han Li had come in on that was blocked by the mists.

　　The whole place is very large, covers an area of hundreds of acres more, in the center, there is a large area of carved jade palace-style pavilion, there are some people dressed in strange clothes out and in and out.

　　And in the open space in front of the pavilion, there is a very wide brick square, inside there are many people like vendors, around the square set up small stalls. In front of these stalls, from time to time there will be one or two people crowded to the front, look at so a couple of eyes, or whisper to ask a couple of sentences, but can be sold on the spot Han Li did not see much.

　　Seeing this scene, Han Li couldn’t help but take a deep breath. This was the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and the people here should all be Immortal Cultivators, and being able to see so many Immortal Cultivators all at once still left Han Li in a bit of a trance.

　　Han Li lightly shook his head to clear his head. He constantly reminded himself that he was entering an unimaginable world, and that anyone here could easily destroy him, so he must be cautious and low-key.

　　Thinking of this, Han Li glanced back at the incoming path that had completely disappeared, and lifted his leg to walk towards the plaza.
