Chapter 173 – The Gathering
Han Li was asking questions and biting off more than he could chew, his cultivation nowadays was all the result of bitter cultivation, as for why he was cultivating at an astonishing speed, Han Li told a pre-prepared story of a strange encounter in which he had mistakenly eaten a foreign fruit when he was young to Master Wang, and pushed it all on top of the foreign fruit. This was a good excuse he had specifically found for this situation to occur.
Han Li knows, lies only seven parts true and three parts false in order to make people believe it, so he described the fruit, not out of thin air, but for thousands of years, the world has been rumored to be a kind of called “Dragon Scale Fruit” of the immortal fruit, it is said to take the person, you can be transformed into a new body, daytime ascension, as for whether it really is this thing, Han Li is As for whether there is really such a thing, Han Li does not know, anyway, no one has really eaten.
The well-read uncle Wang, once heard Han Li said the appearance of the fruit, eyes glowing, actually really from somewhere to find a book called “strange things,” from the book to find Han Li said the “dragon scale fruit”, let him to identify.
When things came to this point, Han Li of course admitted to it, making Master Wang “tsk tsk” in wonder.
Han Li also told the other party that once this fruit was picked, the original plant’s roots and leaves would immediately wither and die, and even if he went back to the original location to look for it, there would never be a second piece of this fruit. In this way, it completely cut off the other party to inquire about the source and then go looking for the idea, completely blocked the other party’s following.
As for whether this person will really be greedy, believe that want to go to other places to find the second immortal fruit, that does not matter to him, let the other side busy themselves to go!
And Han Li is very clear, don’t look at Wang uncle in front of him, a sudden realization, all for real look. But in reality, these words, can make the other party believe a few points, Han Li heart does not have much bottom.
Estimated that the other party is also in the half-believe half-doubt, seem to believe non-believe between. So to this Wang uncle, Han Li in the future or can avoid, can hide to avoid, pay more attention to some, so as not to be seen by the other side what.
But Han Li believes that as long as he can build the foundation successfully and enter the foundation stage, then his identity will be very different. It was thought that even if Master Wang still had doubts in his heart, he wouldn’t easily provoke himself, after all, the Immortal Cultivation World spoke in terms of strength!
Thus, Han Li managed to muddle through the issue of his own technique, and Uncle Wang also did not know if it was because he apologized for Han Li’s troubles just now, and did not have the slightest intention to make things difficult for Han Li on the registration, and easily finished all the formalities for him, and also instructed him on some of the precautions to take in the forbidden land trip, so that he could do some preparations earlier on.
With his mouth full of thanks, Han Li excused himself and left.
When he returned, he greeted the little old man and temporarily unloaded the work of the medicinal garden so that he could fully prepare for the Scarlet Trial.
When the little old man heard about this, he was speechless for half a day, looking at Han Li with a strange “you’re dead” look, making Han Li’s heart furious for a long time.
But what surprised him was that this Master Ma even threw Han Li two bottles of pills without saying a word before he left, coldly saying, “One bottle for internal use, one bottle for external application.” Then, with a cold expression, he flew away with his imperial weapon.
This action gave Han Li a slight warmth in his heart.
After these two years of getting along, he had learned that this person, the little old man, although a bit eccentric in nature, was also a person with a cold face and a warm heart, and was only a bit obsessed with the art of the Dan Dao. Now that he was able to treat him like this, indicating that this Master Ma had already treated him as a son or nephew of his generation, Han Li felt somewhat.
Waiting until three days before the trip to the forbidden land, Senior Uncle Wang finally sent Han Li a messenger, urging him to go to the Council Hall to gather and prepare for his departure.
When Han Li arrived there, the disciples who had signed up for the Scarlet Trial were all gathered and sizing each other up.
The entire Yellow Maple Valley had more than ten thousand disciples in the Qi Refining Stage, and Han Li naturally wouldn’t recognize them all. But one of them still appeared, let Han Li familiar can not be familiar with the woman, this woman Han Li can not help but recognize, and its whole body were he has seen and soothed once, is that almost by the “Lu brother” sodomized “Chen Sister”.
Speaking of which, after “Senior Brother Lu” was killed by Han Li, he really caused a small commotion in Yellow Maple Valley. Although this person had not yet built a foundation, he was ultimately the owner of a different spirit root, and was considered a low-ranking disciple in Yellow Maple Valley who had received a great deal of attention from the upper echelons.
After “Senior Sister Chen” came back, for some unknown reason, she didn’t mention that night’s experience to others and kept her mouth shut about it.
As a result, “Senior Brother Lu”, who had disappeared for a long time, was treated as a missing person. After the door of the contact around, looking for so a pass, see no results, this matter gradually disappeared.
Like this people suddenly disappeared from the valley thing, before is not unheard of, “Brother Lu” is not the first accident people, is also by no means the last one.
When the wind passed, no one in the Yellow Maple Valley mentioned “Brother Lu” again, like it had never existed. This situation allowed Han Li to breathe a sigh of relief, but also felt a cold chill.
Immortal cultivators are really more people who have cut off their emotions and desires, and if he disappears one day, I’m sure the reaction within the door will not be this scenario! Mostly in the blink of an eye, he was forgotten, never bother to inquire about his whereabouts.
See from the door since, has been to take a low-profile, cautious attitude is definitely not doing wrong.
After all, the road to Immortal Cultivation is so long, and the possibility of accidents is so great, if I were to draw attention to myself and do something stupid, then a low-ranked Immortal Cultivator like him with no background or backing could be pinched to death at any time on the road to Immortal Cultivation by some irresistible and powerful existences. The possibility of embarking on the path of Immortal Cultivation again in the next life was so low that it almost amounted to nothing.
Han Li, who originally didn’t really believe in the idea of reincarnation, had also begun to half-believe in it since coming into contact with the Immortal Cultivation world.
”Chen sister” demeanor and previous obviously different, I do not know whether it is not the couple betrayal of the blow, the whole person light eyebrows, become cold and colorful, all the body is exposed to the breath of the people do not get close to, so that a few were attracted by its appearance, trying to go up to talk to the young people, returned in defeat.
I don’t know whether men are a bit cheap, this woman cold and arrogant expression, not only did not let her beauty loss, but more added a few points of mysterious charm, causing the surrounding male disciples all one to steal a look. This kind of charm, can be compared to when she was in the “Lu brother” in front of the kind of birdie image, the attraction of most.
But after Han Li looked, his heart bared his teeth.
Needless to say, this world has another woman who treats men like poisonous scorpions, after the last couple’s betrayal, this woman is afraid that she will not easily color men again, and even intends to spend her life alone.
This “Chen Sister” did not recognize Han Li, Han Li intentionally walked in front of her a few times, the result was only the other side of the cold eyes, apparently she took Han Li as a member of the intention to show off in front of him.
Han Li breathed a sigh of relief, the Acacia Dan’s power of ecstasy was indeed powerful, this woman had no impression of him at all, in this way, the last bit of worry was completely eliminated.
However, thinking about that night her passionate and naked seductive appearance, and then look at the “Chen Sister” now cold as ice, Han Li heart is quite a bit of heat and regret.
Speaking of which, the other party will participate in this Scarlet Trial, mostly thanks to himself. After losing the Foundation Building Dan, this woman wants to build a foundation only to let go of the same as himself. After all, this trip to the forbidden land was the only way to still get the Foundation Establishment Dan.
The Yellow Maple Valley disciples who participated in the forbidden land trip this time were really strong and elite, and there were as many as five or six disciples at the top of the thirteenth layer alone.
The rest of the disciples were at the twelfth level, and “Senior Sister Chen” was at the middle level of the twelfth level.
In the end, there were only three disciples at the eleventh level. In addition to Han Li, there was also a white-haired old man and a 16 or 17 year old youngster, causing Han Li to feel a chill in his heart as he looked at them. The three of them were probably the legendary make-do personnel and cannon fodder disciples.
According to past practice, the number of low-ranking disciples from the seven great sects that could enter the forbidden land could not exceed twenty-five, and could only be fewer but not more. The past few times, it was simply impossible to gather enough people, and often just a dozen or so people would participate in the Scarlet Trial.
But this time, not only did the number of people reach the maximum limit, but there were also so many elite disciples appearing, all of which indicated that this time’s forbidden land medicinal herbs harvesting would definitely exceed the previous ordinary level, and the number of people who could survive would definitely be less than a quarter.
Seeing this expected scenario, Han Li could do nothing but curse in his heart! Needless to ask, these elite disciples must have been the senior management of the door, individually promised a higher reward, otherwise they would not have appeared here.
