Chapter 935 – Unexpected Encounter
A day and a night later, Han Li emerged from the stone chamber and left the mountain belly, heading straight to the eastern part of Great Jin. Jinjing, the number one city in the mortal world, was located there.
Because it was still early, Han Li only used the ordinary recluse speed of the JieDan stage to prevent attracting the attention of others, and traveled all the way to the east without any panic.
Soon after, Han Li smoothly out of Longzhou, into the neighboring counties, which will be the Royal Wind car out, recluse speed full open into a white light, broke the air away.
To Han Li hidden exposed YuanYing level cultivator breath, along the way occasionally encountered some low-ranked cultivators, each respectfully far away from avoiding. YuanYing level cultivator, in the Great Jin is also ordinary cultivators need to look up to the existence, naturally do not dare to have the slightest disrespect.
More than a month later, into the Jinjiang County near the capital of Jin, Han Li only put away the Royal Wind car, will slow down the speed of recluse, at the same time will be converged on the body breath to the level of JieDan stage, slowly walk.
After all, when he arrived at the hinterland of the Jin Dynasty, there would definitely be a lot of high-level Immortal Cultivators, and he didn’t want to draw too much attention to himself.
After more than ten days, a hundred miles away from the Jin capital, an old horse with burnt yellow fur was pulling a dilapidated two-wheeled carriage, traveling slowly on the official road. In front of the car sat a green-shirted Confucian scholar with an ordinary face, none other than Han Li.
At this time he was sitting in front of the car, his body shaking, both eyes half squinted, a seemingly sleepy look, in fact, secretly, but is refining a few days ago to take down a grain of snow spirit pill.
Speaking of which, after he came out from that spatial rift, he had taken as many as a dozen of these pills that could enhance the power of ice and cold.
This pill was worthy of being one of the ancient spirit pills, and Han Li clearly felt that the cold energy from the originally refined Qianlan Ice Flame and Six-Winged Frost Centipede had become purer and purer. The trace of impurities remaining in the Purple Luo Heavenly Flame that could not be refined also gradually fused and disappeared, allowing the cold Qi to greatly increase in power.
The only thing that is somewhat troublesome is that these pills are not easy to refine, and the interval between taking the pills is almost three or four months, which makes Han Li somewhat helpless. Otherwise, if one were to take a pill a month down the line, it is estimated that the Violet Luo Heavenly Flame will be terrifying to the extreme as long as it takes more than a hundred years, and it may be possible to cultivate it to the legendary realm of freezing for a thousand miles.
But is this way down, purple Luo sky fire is also by no means inferior to the devil and the two paths of any of the most top-ranking magical powers, almost has not yet been other techniques really restrained.
As for the reason why Han Li would drive such a carriage appeared here, it is because Jinjing as the mortal capital, in the Great Jin cultivation world there is such an unspecified rule, in the Jinjing within a thousand miles of the range is strictly prohibited to fight and fly, in order to show the cultivators of the Great Jin officials a trace of respect.
In Great Jin, Immortal Cultivators and mortals were also dependent on each other to some extent. However, this rule is only for those low-ranking Immortal Cultivators, and there are many YuanYing and even Jiedan Stage Cultivators who think that they have excellent evasion skills and turn a deaf ear to it.
After all, responsible for patrolling around the Jinjing, are some of the government hired casual cultivators, cultivation is generally not too high, as long as it is not found, or in the capital is not blatantly in the low-altitude flight can be.
And Han Li also do not think about this, but because of time enough, plus want to be on the road first will be this snow pill refining, so in hundreds of miles away, he fell recluse, casually in a small town to buy a horse, wobbling on the road.
Along the way, Han Li did run into some low-ranking Immortal Cultivators who were honestly riding horses and carts. But Han Li didn’t want to be a nuisance, his body’s magic power was collected, just like a mortal, these low-ranked Immortal Cultivators naturally couldn’t see through the slightest bit, and no one went forward to harass Han Li.
Because Han Li’s carriage is not fast, this official road has been before and after seven or eight groups of pedestrians and merchants, rushed past.
Han Li is not moving on his own, is now feeling a trace of medicine in the dantian to the body meridians slowly dispersed cool feeling, is feeling the heart is as quiet as water, suddenly frowned a wrinkle, and then the car behind the avenue suddenly sounded a burst of stormy hoofbeats.
Han Li’s expression did not change, but his eyes opened, casually pulled the reins in his hand, the old horse immediately obediently to the side of the side, so that the car gave way to the side of the official road.
Only then did Han Li lazily look back, only to see a yellow dragon rolling down the official road behind him, with flags inside, as if a thousand armies were rushing towards this place.
The yellow dragon approached Han Li’s side in the blink of an eye, a team of silver helmets and silver armor, hanging swords and back bows knights’ figures loomed in the dust and fog, gradually becoming clearer.
These knights everyone tough and sturdy, the leader is a riding a piebald horse brocade robe middle-aged man, waist with a long sword, behind a flag, writing a big “king” word. In the middle of the knights, there are several jasper cars pulled by horses, together with the team galloping. This car flickered with a weak spiritual light, so wildly running but the car does not shake, as if nothing.
”A magic weapon?” When Han Li saw the car, his eyes flashed with surprise. With a slight sweep of his divine sense, the other cars were fine, there seemed to be some dead things piled up inside, but there was only one car in which the aura of a cultivator was vaguely revealed, although the aura was very weak. But it was a bit of a surprise that ordinary Immortal Cultivators were mixing with these soldiers.
Han Li pulled on the reins and simply stopped the vehicle on the side of the road so that these sergeants could pass through first.
This group of knights should have around three to four hundred people, but when they passed by the side, it was as if a hurricane had been whipped up, with an astonishing momentum.
Han Li’s gaze flickered a few times. These knights had a fierce aura about them, as if they were all men of valor, this was not a normal city guard ah, but rather like a garrison armorer who often participated in bloody battles.
He also heard people say, although the Great Jin Dynasty is huge, but in the most southeastern and northwestern border with some outside of the world, and the aborigines there often have a great war on the mortal world. Only in such a chaotic place can a true iron-blooded soldier be practiced.
As Han Li was pondering, a jasper car passed by from the side, a gaze flashed out from the slit in the window and happened to look at Han Li on the side, followed by a soft eek sound resounding in the car.
Han Li also seemed to sense something, couldn’t help but raise his head to look, a pair of déjà vu bright eyes swept by the car window. His heart was slightly stunned, and before he could remember who it was, the line of knights had already gone far away.
Staring at the faraway queue, Han Li pondered for a while, and ultimately shook his head, giving up the idea of delving his divine sense into the car for a closer look. This is not that Han Li is too lazy to do so, but that several jade car even with some simple isolation restrictions, to explore in the end, can not be avoided by the people in the car to notice. The person in the car is also the refining stage cultivation, Han Li does not want to because of some low-ranking cultivators, and more things out.
Blandly looking ahead of the rider far away, Han Li only once again drove the carriage forward.
This time, just after walking more than ten miles, there is a three-way intersection in front, there is also a large area of lush forest by the roadside, a few simple tea stores connected together built in the forest side. While many carriages and horses stay outside the tea store, the owner enters in these humble places to drink water and eat.
After all, this is almost the only place to rest in this direction, to Jinjing. Most of the people passing by would rest for a moment.
With a casual sweep of his gaze, Han Li saw that those silver-armored knights were also dismounting and resting at the edge of the forest. But a few jade carts likewise remained there, only one of them was now half-open and empty inside. And that brocade-robed middle-aged man was likewise not amongst the knights.
Han Li furrowed his brows and subconsciously swept a glance towards those few tea stores, then without moving, he urged the car and horse, about to pass through this intersection and continue on his way.
But right at this moment, an armorer among those knights, upon seeing Han Li’s car, suddenly walked over in large strides and blocked the way. Han Li couldn’t help but be stunned.
”Is this gentleman’s surname Han?” This knight rushed Han Li with a slight salute and said in an unassuming manner.
”Not bad, my name is this surname! Does Your Excellency have something to do?” Han Li’s expression moved as he slowly said.
”Since it’s really Mr. Han, then I haven’t found the wrong person, my lady has an invitation for you to go to the tea store.”
”Your family’s young lady? Hmm …… well, I’ll make a trip over there.” Han Li’s expression stirred, remembering the pair of bright eyes he had just seen in the carriage, and after slightly pondering for a moment, he finally nodded and said. He then jumped off the carriage.
”Sir, please, my lady has already chartered a small tea store over there, just follow me, sir.” This armorer said in a deep voice and beckoned to the forest edge, and instantly, two other armorers came over to help Han Li lead the carriage over.
Han Li then followed this person and headed towards one of the tea stores.
A few moments later, Han Li appeared in front of two women and a man in the tea store. The man was naturally the forty-year-old brocade-robed middle-aged man, with a long beard and thin eyes. The remaining two women were both in their prime and were both Immortal Cultivators, but one was at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage and one was at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage.
”Brother Han, I haven’t seen you for several years, but I didn’t expect to meet here. The gift of guidance to my little sister back then, Meng Rong has no teeth to forget.” The male sat still, the other two women saw Han Li walk in, all rose to meet, which the cultivation of the lower woman, is slightly biting the apricot lips said, beautiful face vaguely appear a trace of joy.
”So it is Cao girl, this is really coincidental. When I left without saying goodbye, I hope that Fellow Daoist Cao will not take offense.” After Han Li was stunned, he also smiled back.
This woman was actually Cao Mengrong, the daughter of the county lieutenant he had met when he first arrived in Great Jin several years ago.
”Back then, Brother Han must have had important matters on his mind, so how could Meng Rong have the intention of blaming him. By the way, let me introduce, this is Senior Sister Wang, who took care of me when I was in the sect, and is like a sister to me. This is Senior Sister Wang’s uncle, who has always been stationed at the southern border of the Great Jin, and is the renowned Great General of Zhunan, and was ordered to return to the court to see the emperor this time.” Cao Mengrong then began to introduce Han Li to the middle-aged man and the other peach blossom-faced woman.
