Chapter 294 – Flame Lustering Skill

　　”Humph! Your Excellency sneaked into the house, either a traitor or a thief! You still dare to pretend to be a god, let’s see if the poor Taoist doesn’t ……” The old Taoist, perhaps accustomed to being flattered by the people in the royal residence these days, actually snapped without thinking.

　　But when he habitually used the Heavenly Eye Technique to take a look toward Han Li, his originally furious face immediately froze, and then his face turned white.

　　”Pavilion …… Your Excellency is a Foundation Establishment Stage senior?” The old Taoist stuttered, a look of disbelief appearing in his eyes.

　　”Haven’t you seen it with your spells?” The smile on Han Li’s face tightened and he said blandly.

　　”Senior should not be blamed, senior has never seen a cultivation senior who has built a foundation before, and the highest cultivation I’ve ever seen was only a cultivator at the eleventh or twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage, so I really can’t judge senior’s cultivation! I only know that senior’s cultivation is unfathomable!” The old road to see this, only as if waking up in a dream hastily will be in the hands of the fireball a extinguished, forward salute and explained in a row, full of face is a smile careful color.

　　Han Li saw that the old man did not show fear like the old man surnamed Xiao, but instead vaguely showed the color of excitement, the heart is a stunned.

　　But then, after a little deep thought, he understood the other party’s small mind.

　　This white-haired old Taoist was so old and still hovering at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, in all likelihood, he was a loose cultivator and his qualifications were too poor, so he had been unable to come into contact with cultivators with high levels of magical power. After all, even loose cultivators only communicate with people of similar cultivation level to call each other brothers and sisters.

　　Now, seeing him as a high-level cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Stage, the other party naturally treated it as a rare encounter, and most likely wanted to reap what benefits from him!

　　Han Li, who had figured this out, couldn’t help but smile. If the other party could satisfy him, he didn’t mind giving the other party a bit of sweetness.

　　At that moment, Han Li looked at the old Taoist and slowly said.

　　”You guessed correctly, I am indeed a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator!”

　　When the white-haired old Taoist heard Han Li’s words, his expression became more and more respectful, but of course the joy in his eyes likewise increased by a few points.

　　”I wonder if senior suddenly appeared here, does he have something to command the late generation?” The Taoist priest said respectfully.

　　This one was also very uptight, knowing that he wanted to reap some benefits from Han Li. Naturally, he had to do something.

　　When Han Li heard this, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, so he lightly smiled and said, “Let’s talk about your origins first… I saw that hand fire control technique you performed in the king’s mansion today… it’s pretty good!” Han Li first gave a small compliment to the other party, which was said sincerely!

　　When the old Taoist heard Han Li’s words, a stunned look flashed across his face.

　　He didn’t realize that this senior had seen his own performance as well, and hurriedly replied humbly, “I don’t dare to, letting the senior laugh at me! Late generation is only in the art of flame manipulation. It can still be taken out to meet people, but the other feats are a mess! As for senior’s origin, there is actually nothing to say. When I was young, I inadvertently obtained a copy of the Blazing Sun Technique from a dying Immortal Cultivator, and that’s how I entered the Immortal Cultivation world. It’s just a pity that my qualifications were too poor, coupled with the fact that I had no one to guide me, I only barely practiced to the sixth layer.”

　　”Your art of manipulating fire. Is it also a technique from that book?” Han Li casually opened his mouth to ask as a bit of interest arose in his heart.

　　”That’s not true. This Fire Manipulation Technique was practiced to the bottleneck back in the day. It was really unable to advance an inch before I had no choice but to figure out a set of tricks. But after decades of refinement and modification. Rather, it is also the place where the late generation is most proud of itself.”

　　”You researched it yourself?” Han Li was startled in his heart and re-examined the white-haired old Taoist for a few moments, revealing a few shades of surprise.

　　”Yes, senior! Senior has also taken this bit of his own mind and written it into a book called the Flame Getting Technique. If senior doesn’t mind, how about taking it and giving junior a few pointers!” When the old Taoist saw that Han Li seemed to be interested in his fire manipulation techniques, he hurriedly fished out a thin book from his body under a bright idea. Respectfully, he handed it to Han Li.

　　Seeing this, Han Li was slightly stunned!

　　To be honest, although Han Li felt that this bit of flame changing art was very rare, he didn’t have the intention of trying to force the other party’s mind.

　　He didn’t think that this little skill of manipulating fire would be of much use to him nowadays!

　　But the old Taoist suddenly took the initiative to offer it up, so while he was surprised, he took it in hand and looked through it a few times.

　　At first, Han Li was only looking at the book with an indifferent attitude, but as he watched, Han Li’s face was as calm as ever, but his heart was gradually shocked.

　　In the beginning of this book said some change flame form tips, indeed on today’s Han Li does not have much significance, is purely flashy. However, in the latter pages of this book, the old Taoist proposed a vague concept of living spells and several training methods that were indeed feasible, but it gave Han Li a sense of enlightenment and felt that he had benefited greatly.

　　A moment later, Han Li gently closed the book.

　　Now was not the time to study the spells, or wait for his free time, and then try to figure out the contents of the book! It was believed that this would allow his comprehension and utilization of spells to be taken to the next level.

　　”This book, I accept it! I know that even though you are saying that you want me to teach you, you actually want to gift the book to me. And as a senior I will not ask for your things for nothing, here are some Dao books, various ranks of magic weapons, and several kinds of pills that are of great use to the Qi Refining Stage, you can pick any one of the categories to select as a return for this book. Now, I’ll give you a tea time, so think it over.”

　　After Han Li looked deeply at the old Taoist, he said something that made the old Taoist excited.

　　”Many thanks, senior, many thanks for your love!” A blush rose on the white-haired old Taoist’s face, trembling a bit with excitement.

　　After Han Li smiled faintly, he didn’t say anything, but instead closed his eyes lightly and sat down on a chair to recuperate.

　　The old Taoist, on the other hand, was like an ant on a hot pan, starting to pace back and forth inside the house non-stop, with a look of a dilemma that was hard to discard.

　　”How about it, have you thought about it yet?” After a while, Han Li felt that the time was almost up, so he opened his eyes and calmly asked.

　　”I’ve thought about it, and I want a little elixir that will allow Qi Refining Stage cultivators to break through their bottlenecks.” The old Taoist finally made up his mind after Han Li’s inquiry and said decisively.

　　When Han Li heard this, there was no surprise revealed. He reckoned that the other party should have chosen the elixir as well, after all, the magical artifacts and dao books could be gotten after the great advancement in gongfu.

　　So after Han Li lightly nodded his head, he flicked his robe sleeve towards the table, and two identical celadon vials appeared on the tabletop made of mahogany.

　　”Here are two bottles of Yellow Dragon Dan, which have obvious effects on cultivators below the tenth level of the Qi Refining Stage, take them!” Han Li said without moving.

　　”The tenth level of the Qi Refining Stage ……, thank you for your generosity, senior! Many thanks ……,” the old Taoist looked at the two bottles of pills with a fiery gaze, and thanked them repeatedly under his breath before excitedly stepping forward to take the two bottles of pills into his hands.

　　Then, he couldn’t wait to open the lid of one of the bottles, and placed it under his nose and lightly smelled it twice before revealing a satisfied look on his face.

　　”I’m looking for you this time, but I actually have something else for you to do. After it’s done, I’ll thank you again!” Han Li saw the other party carefully place the pill bottle into his arms before speaking without panic about the main purpose of this trip.

　　With the heavy reward, Han Li didn’t believe that the other party would be unmoved.

　　Sure enough, after the old Taoist heard a blank stare, he immediately said with a smile on his face, “What is it that seniors have, despite commanding it, the juniors will surely die for it!”

　　Hearing this, Han Li smiled slightly and said, “Actually, it’s not a big deal, I just want you to pay more attention to the whereabouts of your disciple, Little Prince, and the two Wang Chief Executives in the mansion in the last few months. If anything unusual happens, just let me know!”

　　Although Han Li spoke lightly, the old Taoist was a bit dumbfounded when he heard it.

　　He really didn’t expect that this senior would allow himself to monitor two mortals, and that one of them would soon become his beloved disciple.

　　The old Taoist who was puzzled, carefully glanced at Han Li, then asked with a tentative tone: ”Can the junior know, the reason for this? Is there something wrong with these two?”

　　The old Taoist asked very carefully, fearing that an unintentional sentence would offend this high ranking person.

　　Han Li didn’t show any unpleasantness on his face, but he didn’t reply to the Taoist’s question right away either, instead, he deliberated for a bit before saying in a deep voice, “I’m actually a cultivator from the Yellow Maple Valley of the seven sects. The Devil’s Way is invading our Yue Country, you should know that as well! And I suspect that the two of them may be related to the people of the Devil Dao. So I need someone to keep an eye on their whereabouts for me at all times, just in case!”

　　Although Han Li thought that Chief Wang and the young prince should not be people of the Devil’s Way, it was better to be careful with everything. For these two who couldn’t figure out their details, Han Li was still extremely wary, which was why he had found the old Taoist here in advance and asked him to keep an eye on their movements.

　　However, of course, he couldn’t tell all of this directly to Old Dao, so he had to simply push it onto the Devil’s Path, which also saved him from explaining the matter.

　　After all, these two were dangerous, just Han Li’s conclusion based on his senses, really could not be brought to the surface.
