Chapter 219 – Meeting
”Master Sect Leader, Senior Brother was lucky enough to succeed in building his foundation a few days ago, so I’ve come to report this matter to Master Sect Leader, hoping that Master Sect Leader will grant the right to open a cave.” Han Li didn’t shilly-shally and directly spoke his intentions straight to the point.
”Just succeeded in building your foundation?” Zhong Lingdao was stunned at first, but then it dawned on him.
The precedents of receiving a Foundation Establishment Pill like this and not taking it immediately, but waiting until they thought the time was right before taking the pill to build a successful foundation were not rare! This Sect Master Zhong regarded Han Li as one of them.
”Hehe, congratulations to Senior Disciple Han for entering the Foundation Establishment Stage! This sect’s high-ranking disciple has increased by one more, it’s truly a matter of joy and congratulations!” Zhong Ling Dao said with a smile as he twirled his three wisps of beard.
”Mister Han was just lucky, thanks to the Foundation Establishment Pill bestowed by the Sect!” Han Li replied with a beaming face.
After Zhong Lingdao heard Han Li’s polite words, he smiled faintly and carefully sized up Han Li once more. At this time, the more he looked at Han Li, the more familiar he felt, definitely should have seen it before, just exactly when and where, but for a moment how could not recall.
In this way, Zhong Ling Dao could not help but nod his head into a deep thought, bitter meditation.
Han Li see this heart funny, also do not disturb each other, on their own pick up the cup of tea, slowly savor the tea.
A few moments later, Zhong Ling Dao mind a flash of light, actually really remembered the matter of the Immortal Ascension Order. The young man who had stood in the council hall at the beginning, and the self-effacing senior brother in front of him, could not help but overlap together!
Recalling Han Li’s details, Zhong Ling Dao couldn’t help but raise his head violently, exclaiming with a stunned look on his face: ”It’s you. The disciple who entered the valley with the Immortal Ascension Order! You actually succeeded in building your foundation?”
”Master Sect Leader still remembers Mister Han! The fact that I was able to join the Yellow Maple Valley in the first place is really thanks to the Sect Leader’s kindness!” Seeing that the other party recognized him, Han Li wasn’t alarmed and lightly smiled as he expressed his gratitude to Zhong Lingdao.
When Zhong Ling Dao heard the other party’s mouthful of Sect Masters, he realized that the other party was no longer a casual disciple who had worshipped the door at the beginning, but rather a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator with the same seniority as him! So his face flashed with surprise, once again returned to the calm and unruffled look, and said gently: “This is nothing. This Sect Leader was just following the rules a few years ago! Rather, it’s the fact that Senior Brother Han was able to successfully build a foundation with his pseudo-spiritual root qualification that’s incredible! If word gets out, I’m afraid that Senior Brother will immediately become famous in the Immortal Cultivation World!”
Even though Zhong Ling Dao seemed to have returned to normal on the surface, the words still revealed the astonishment in his heart!
This is no wonder, when Han Li’s condition, this Zhong Sect Master can know clearly, such a four attribute pseudo spirit root can also be successful in building a foundation, it is indeed too difficult for it to accept.
Seeing this, Han Li smiled and said in a half-joking tone, “I didn’t expect that a Foundation Establishment Dan would actually succeed in building a foundation, so I can only say that this is God’s help, and it seems that Han Mou is also a stupid person with a stupid blessing!”
Han Li said this, and it really made the other party happy!
”However, Senior Brother Han! Didn’t you give up the Foundation Establishment Pill to Senior Brother Ye’s nephew’s grandson in the first place! And where did you get the new Foundation Establishment Pill from?” Sect Master Zhong had just laughed twice when he turned his mind to remember this unanswered question and opened his mouth to ask.
”Hehehe! Master Sect Leader, speaking of which, this Foundation Establishment Pill is still something you gave me!” Han Li said with a smile on his face as he was delighted in his heart.
”Me?” This time Zhong Ling Dao was puzzled, why didn’t he have this impression?
”Sect Leader, could it be that you’ve forgotten that out of the few people who came out alive from the forbidden land, three of them were rewarded with Foundation Establishment Pills, and I was one of them!” Han Li finally put away his smile and said seriously.
”You’re that Senior Uncle Li, who took in a named disciple?” Zhong Lingdao could no longer maintain his calm demeanor and moved.
”Not bad, I am indeed the disciple that Master Ancestor Li took on that trip to the forbidden land!” Han Li didn’t deny it and admitted it in one breath.
”I see, I said that the name Han Li, why does it sound so familiar? It turns out that Senior Brother is the disciple who made a lot of noise in the valley two years ago!” The look of surprise in Zhong Lingdao’s eyes became even more intense, but his tone of voice was a bit more kind.
Zhong Lingdao’s meaning was clear. Since Han Li had established his foundation, the matter of becoming a formal disciple of Senior Uncle Li in the future was basically a sure thing, and he was naturally unwilling to bear grudges against Han Li. And he secretly pondered, “It seems that this Senior Disciple Han was very lucky to succeed in building his foundation, otherwise, with the other party’s qualifications, it would definitely be a hundred to one to build his foundation!”
Although Zhong Ling Dao muttered straight in his heart, on the surface, he naturally politely spoke with Han Li for a few moments before asking him to wait a moment while he went to fetch the roster.
Han Li naturally agreed with his mouth full, then waited quietly for the other party’s return.
After a tea time, Zhong Ling Dao finally walked in with a white jade ultimatum in hand. Then in front of Han Li’s face, with a rod of gold lacquer pen, on the jade ultimatum densely packed with many names at the bottom, wrote Han Li’s name, finally gave him a good register!
Seeing this, Han Li’s heart rejoiced, knowing that in this way, he could rightfully own the cave.
Zhong Ling Dao often handled such chores for new Foundation Establishment disciples, and once he saw the smile on Han Li’s face, he naturally guessed a few points of what Han Li had in mind. Thus, after a slight smile, he took out three middle-ranked spirit stones and five small flags shrouded in a thin white mist from his storage pouch and handed them over to Han Li.
”What is this?” Han Li could still understand a few things about the giving of the middle-rank spirit stones; it was probably a reward for foundation-building disciples in the sect! But what were these five palm-sized flags for? From their bizarre appearance and aura, they didn’t seem to be ordinary magic weapons, very eccentric!
But before Han Li could open his mouth to ask, Zhong Lingdao flipped his hand and handed Han Li another jade slip before explaining, ”These spirit stones are the one-time rewards that every new Foundation Establishment disciple will receive. In the future, every year, there will also be a free distribution of a middle-ranked spirit stone without requiring you to do any chores!”
”As for these Misty Flags, they are essential for opening up a cave, and although the Misty Formations they lay down are only the simplest of small formations, they are enough to ward off intrusions from mortals or wild beasts! Of course if Senior Brother is proficient in formations himself, he can naturally do without these small flags. In addition, in this piece of jade, there are the key tips and maneuvers for the formation, and of course, I’ve also copied in some of the things that you should pay attention to after Foundation Establishment. When senior brother goes back, he can take a closer look at it.”
”Thank you, Senior Sect Master!” Han Li accepted it with both hands, mouthing his thanks. These were indeed the things that Han Li most needed at the moment, causing him to be overjoyed!
After things were done, Han Li and this Sect Leader Zhong chatted for another pillar of incense before bidding farewell and leaving the Council Hall.
After leaving the stone hall, Han Li had wanted to immediately fly out of the Yellow Maple Valley to personally search for a location to open a cave.
But halfway there, after flipping through the jade slip given by Zhong Ling Dao, Han Li immediately changed his mind and made a U-turn with his imperial weapon, flying towards some other place.
The name “Kirin Pavilion” was very imposing and loud, and it was also one of the most important places in the Yellow Maple Valley, as it was a place in the valley dedicated to raising and domesticating spirit beasts.
”Spirit beasts” were actually demonic beasts. Demonic beasts are tamed by Immortal Cultivators and naturally become the so-called Spirit Beasts!
This Qilin Pavilion within the spirit beasts, most of them are only first-class spirit beasts, even if there are individual second-class demonic spirit beasts, that is also other people put in this place, and can not be driven at will.
However, even if only one level of spirit beasts, that also provides many convenient services for the disciples in the valley. For example, walking on behalf of people, guarding portals, searching for spiritual medicine, assisting in attacking the enemy, and so on. And Han Li, is rushing here a kind of demonic beast called “double pupil mouse” and came.
This kind of appearance like ordinary rats, but was born with a divine eye spirit beast, it is Zhong Ling Dao in the jade brief to Han Li recommended. He is the best helper for finding the location of the cave!
This kind of first-grade middle-order demonic beast, its pupils can easily see through the mists, rivers, trees and other obstacles that hinder the vision of ordinary Immortal Cultivators, and nature also likes to drill holes into the ground to make nests in the thickest places of spiritual qi.
Therefore, after a little training, this double-pupil mouse is the best scout to find the place of spiritual eyes! Very popular with the disciples in the valley!
Han Li is not the first time to the Kirin Pavilion here, in the past there were a few times to do business, from its door hurriedly passed. So he wasn’t completely unfamiliar with this place.
When he descended from the sky and landed on the strange beast mountain welcoming platform where the entire emerald green hill belonged to the Kirin Pavilion, a low-ranking female disciple immediately walked over and greeted Han Li with, “This senior uncle, is he here to rent a spirit beast?” After crisply saying this, this 16 or 17 year old female disciple couldn’t help but reveal a color of expectation.
Seeing this, Han Li spoke with a faint smile, “Is there a free double-pupil mouse on the mountain right now? I want to rent one and use it for two days!”
”Yes, of course there is! I’ll send one to Senior Uncle right now!” This female disciple’s face was delighted when she heard this, and she said happily.
