Chapter 295 – Going to the Appointment
”Related to the Devil’s Way?”
The old Taoist did not show too much surprise when he heard that Han Li was a Yellow Maple Valley cultivator, this was something he had already vaguely guessed, there were simply too few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators outside of the seven sects. However, when he heard that the disciple he was going to take and Chief Wang might be involved with the Devil Dao, his face turned green.
One must know that the reputation of the Devil’s Way in the cultivation world of Yue is almost synonymous with bloodshed and cruelty. And he, the old Taoist, a small cultivator at the Qi Refining Stage, was naturally hiding from it.
”Senior didn’t get it wrong! That little prince, but I did check its body, and there really isn’t a bit of mana in its body.” After the old Taoist’s heart was shocked and thought carefully, it was a bit hard to believe again.
After all, he and the little prince contact for a period of time, really can not see the other side which is like the rumors of the devil in the road.
Han Li heard the other side of this statement, and did not say any nonsense, just calmly said simply: “These two are not people of the Devil’s Way, you personally pay attention to later, since you will find its abnormalities, do not need me to explain what. I’m not asking you to take any unfavorable actions against these two, just a little bit of surveillance can be. In addition, you mustn’t make any probing moves, in case the other party realizes that you know their identities, I’m afraid that your life will be difficult to protect ah!”
Han Li gave the old Taoist a final warning.
The skepticism in the white-haired old Taoist’s eyes immediately disappeared after hearing Han Li’s words, revealing a look of fear instead.
After slightly hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth and said with some trepidation, ”What’s going to happen in case these two find out that I’m spying on them! The poor Taoist’s magical power is low, so I’m really afraid that I’ll miss senior’s big event!”
Han Li frowned a bit at his words.
This old Taoist looked like he was scared and wanted to back off a bit. This can’t be done, it seems that there’s still some more benefits to be given.
Thinking of this, Han Li touched his hand towards his storage pouch and pulled out an item, gently placing it towards the desktop.
”Spying on these two is indeed a bit risky. I have a suitable upper-ranked magic weapon here. Let’s send it to you for self-defense. When this matter is over, this magic weapon will naturally officially belong to you.” Han Li pointed to the purple bead on the table that was flickering with a faint light and said indifferently to the old Taoist.
”An upper-ranked magic weapon!” The old Taoist’s spirit immediately lifted upon hearing this. Poor him was usually incredibly shy, not to mention upper ranked magic weapons, even middle ranked magic weapons were not capable of acquiring one ah!
”This is the Purple Light Bead, after injecting mana into it, it can immediately unfold a light shield to protect your entire body, and I believe that ordinary cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage are rarely able to break this protection. This should be enough for you to deal with the vast majority of dangers.” Han Li slowly said with an unchanged expression.
”This is a defense magic weapon?” After hearing Han Li’s detailed introduction. A fiery color once again appeared in the old Taoist’s eyes.
Defense magic weapons were the least and most precious of all types of magic weapons. If the old Taoist was allowed to save up his own spirit stones to buy this upper-ranked defense magic weapon, I believe that even if he were to live out his entire life, I’m afraid that he wouldn’t have the opportunity to do so.
”Good, the poor Taoist will definitely do his best in this matter.” The white-haired old Taoist’s face wavered for a long time before he finally clenched his teeth and agreed.
It seemed that the phrase “birds die for food, people die for money” was equally applicable in the Immortal Cultivation world!
Han Li saw that the old Taoist had agreed to this extremely risky matter, and although a smile appeared on his face, there was still some sighing in his heart.
”This spirit mark is temporarily placed into your body so that in case something happens. I will also be able to find you right away, and may even be able to save your life! Also after this matter is over, I will send you another bottle of Yellow Dragon Dan as a reward.” Han Li, after using the same technique, struck a ball of aura markers into the old Taoist’s body. Softly and forcefully, he said.
After seeing Han Li’s move, the old Taoist was slightly stunned before pretending to be unaware of Han Li’s true intentions and thanking him repeatedly.
Han Li saw that the old man was so sensible. He couldn’t help but smile before getting up to take his leave. Then, under the old Taoist’s respectful escort, he quietly left the royal residence.
He did not have the intention of returning to the Qin Residence right away, but rather, he casually found a teahouse and went in to sip tea and meditate, starting to think about everything that had happened recently, to see if there was anything that he had done improperly or had missed out on.
Regularly reflecting on what he had done and checking for omissions, this was a habit that Han Li had developed. Only by constantly reducing his weaknesses and making up for his shortcomings could Han Li be safe and sound in the Immortal Cultivation World, which was in crisis every step of the way.
Thus, Han Li sat in the teahouse for most of the day, until the sky had gradually darkened, before leaving the teahouse in the shopkeeper’s strange eyes.
Only called a cup of tea, drank a half day of tea guests, small two also this is the first time to see, can not help but constantly brag about this to people in the future, even let Han Li inadvertently become some of the mortals in the mouth of the joke, this is Han Li simply had not thought of the shameful thing.
The agreed time that the old man surnamed Xiao had said had not yet arrived. But Han Li didn’t intend to really go there until late at night.
He wouldn’t be so punctual, and it was better to arrive early in case the other party played any tricks.
After walking for a while, Han Li suddenly frowned.
He sensed that the markings of the two grandchildren of the Xiao surname were not in the direction of the eastern district where they should be, but rather in the opposite western district, which caused Han Li to be a bit annoyed.
After snorting coldly, Han Li took advantage of the fact that no one was nearby to throw the Divine Wind Boat up into the sky, turning his entire body into a white light as he sped off in the direction he had sensed.
Speaking of which, this spell of tracking down people with aura sensing was a very commonly used tactic amongst Foundation Stage cultivators, except that most people could only sense tens of miles in the vicinity at the most, which was too much. But Han Li, who had practiced the Great Diffusion Technique, could vaguely trace a range of more than a hundred miles in a radius, which was truly astonishing.
This also caused Han Li to look forward to practicing the second layer of the Great Diffusion Technique with great anticipation!
A few moments later, Han Li stood on the Divine Wind Boat and coldly looked at a small, unremarkable courtyard dozens of feet below his feet, with only three modest, half-used houses in the courtyard.
Standing on the white as jade canoe, Han Li did not venture to land below, but instead remained silent and silent, seemingly considering something.
Finally, Han Li stepped lightly on his foot, and the canoe immediately descended from the sky like a meteor.
However, when it was still five or six feet above the ground, the artifact suddenly came to a standstill, while Han Li’s body moved and gently leapt from the artifact and descended into the small courtyard. At the same time, he stroked his right hand into the air, and instantly the canoe flew from large to small into Han Li’s hands.
The entire process was as clean and smooth as running clouds and water, without the slightest rattle.
Then, Han Li stood in front of the center of the house like a ghost, and unhurriedly released his divine sense to detect the movements within the house.
Han Li had clearly sensed that the two aura clusters that vaguely corresponded to himself were undoubtedly in this house.
Sure enough, just as Han Li’s divine sense explored the house, he clearly heard the young girl’s voice.
”Grandpa, will we offend the other party by doing this? If that person really comes looking for us, will the prepared speech be useful?” The young girl’s voice was filled with worry, and it seemed that the powerful impression Han Li had left on her was profound.
”Hmph! You silly girl, if people say they can find us with a little aura, can they really find us? Your grandfather has eaten more salt than you have. Your grandpa has seen a lot of alarmist talk and intentional intimidation! I don’t really believe what that man said is true. And even if there really is a sensing spell, it’s impossible for a Foundation Stage cultivator to detect it from this distance. If we stay in the Eastern District’s home, we’ll really be found by this person.” The old man lectured the young girl after he gave a cold snort.
”In that case, why don’t we leave Yuejing overnight and just move to the Western District instead.” The young girl still wasn’t quite convinced and retorted.
”What do you know? The words above are just grandpa’s speculation! Whether it’s really true or not is still ambiguous. If the guess is right, naturally our grandchildren can not have to face this person’s blackmail, and can go elsewhere to get away with it. But after all, the other party is a foundation stage cultivator, may really have this kind of tracking spell that probes very far. We ran outside the Yuejing, in case the other party blocked, how can not be able to say this word. On the other hand, it’s different in the Western District, so we can find an excuse to deal with it.” The old man seemed to be doting on that young girl, so he had to explain it to her in detail.
”Hee hee, grandpa you are so cunning! However, I see that this person doesn’t seem to be the type of person who does despicable things, is it necessary for us to avoid this person so much? According to me, why don’t we just make use of that book of Dao to make a good deal with the other party, and we might even be able to reap a lot of benefits! This book of Dao is too profound to be of much use to us anyway.” The young girl laughed softly twice before saying unconcernedly.
”Hmph, the world is treacherous, that’s as you think! It’s true that by common sense, everyone deals openly and honestly, there’s nothing to hide from each other. But have you ever thought, fair trade is in the two status strength is equal, can only exist. One side is strong and the other is weak, where is there any fairness to speak of.”
”What’s more, that Dao book might be a chicken rib to our grandchildren, but it might be a treasure in this person’s hands. And the thing of killing and exterminating someone immediately after the treasure arrives, your grandfather has seen it more than once in his life! How can I trust this person? After all, the difference in cultivation between our grandchildren and the other party is too far, exterminating us would not cost the other party any effort at all.” As the old man spoke, his voice dimmed, clearly helpless at the reality that his life hung in the hands of others.
”Grandpa, there’s no need to be so discouraged? Didn’t you say, although that person looks so young, he might be an old demon who has lived for an unknown number of years!” Seeing this, the young girl quickly exited and comforted.
But right at this moment, a cold voice of the person they feared the most suddenly came from outside the house.
”How! Am I that much like an old demon?”
In the midst of the grandparents and grandchildren’s faces changing drastically, the door to the house that was originally tightly closed suddenly opened noiselessly, and Han Li walked in unhurriedly.
As soon as he entered the house, Han Li nonchalantly sat on top of the main seat, then looked at the two men with an extremely calm expression without saying a word.
