Chapter 902 – Cao Mengrong
”There’s certainly no problem with taking it to senior for study, but this will have to wait until I recover before I can remove the tripod from my body.” Han Li said calmly.
”Good! Since it was promised, this matter will be settled. However, there really is an Immortal Cultivator on board, but it’s just a little girl at the second or third level of the Qi Refining Stage, not worth mentioning at all, just keep an eye out.” The Great Diffusion Godly Monarch’s tone eased up, and then he stopped talking.
”Two or three layers of the Qi Refining Stage?” Han Li was stunned in his heart, but still opened his eyes.
”Hehe, old man, this person is awake!” Han Li saw at a glance that a young girl who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old was at his bed, and as soon as he saw that he had opened his eyes, he immediately shouted with great joy. This girl had white skin, a round face and large eyes, and was quite adorable.
”Well, the old man naturally saw it.” While on a chair next to the young girl, there was a gray-robed old man, more than sixty years old, with kind brows, who was motionlessly sizing him up.
”Old man, you stay with him first, I’ll go inform the young lady!” Before Han Li could even think of opening his mouth to ask something, the round-faced young girl chirped a word to the old man, and the person ran out in a puff of smoke.
Han Li couldn’t help but be stunned.
”Heh! This girl is this kind of nature, don’t be offended, sir!” The old man lightly shook his head and smiled kindly at Han Li.
”Don’t dare, is it the two of you who saved me, where is this place? Your Excellency is ……” Han Li returned the same smile and slowly asked after sitting up.
”This is on the surface of the Shun River. You were alive or dead in the river, and were rescued by my second young lady who asked someone to save you. And the old man, He Wen, is a seer hired by the lady.” The old man stroked his short beard and said with a nod.
”I see. My surname is Han, I must thank this young lady, for saving my life.” Han Li lightly exhaled and said with an arch.
”My lady is indeed a Bodhisattva, but whether or not she will see you, it’s hard to say. However, can Mr. Han tell us why he appeared in the ice, and surprisingly, he’s not dead yet? Old me is very interested.” The old man had a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with interest.
”This …… Mister Han doesn’t want to deceive the husband with falsehoods, but there are indeed some unspeakable pains that are inconvenient to tell.” Han Li hesitated for a moment, but still told him frankly.
”This is nothing, everyone has some inconvenient times.” The old man, however, was generous and waved his hand without a care in the world.
Just then, the round-faced young girl came bouncing in again. “Husband, Miss has asked this gentleman to quietly recuperate, all other matters will wait until later.” The young girl mouthed the words while somewhat curiously sizing up Han Li.
Han Li smiled at it after noticing it. As a result, the little maid immediately lowered her head with a slightly reddened face, and with her mind spinning in dark thought, “This person looks a bit unremarkable, and compared to some of Miss’s previous friends, it’s a far cry, but I wonder why Miss is so attentive to this person?”
”Since Miss has ordered it, the Prince has just woken up, it’s better to have a good rest. The old man will take his leave first.” The old man rose to take his leave.
Han Li naturally mouthed some more words of thanks and witnessed the old man walk out of the house with the young girl. Han Li, who was alone, immediately looked at the wooden roof and fell silent for a long time before lightly sighing.
In the next two days, aside from a rough-handed servant who brought three meals a day, no one else came to disturb, which made Han Li relatively satisfied, so he naturally seized the time to take pills and meditate for cultivation.
As for the Great Diffusion God Jun mouth that refining period two or three layers of the little girl, Han Li divine sense a little outward some, also found the woman, is a beautiful face, a small family like a young woman, from the bystanders to his name, is that save yourself up “Miss”. This Han Li did not overly surprised, it seems that this woman should be now his identity as a cultivator.
And by spying on the gossip of others on the ship, Han Li also knows the general situation of the ship.
The people on board seem to be Liaozhou somewhere a Cao surnamed county lieutenant’s family, because the transfer go in a hurry, so they go one step ahead of the office to go, and let the family slowly after the line. But the real official family members are only a few people, an original wife, two concubines, and three young ladies.
The second young lady is born of the original wife, it is said that from a young age frail and sickly, once in the early years is foster in a woman in a period of time, in recent years only to return home. The other two are concubines born, a Miss has reached the age of marriage, has long been betrothed to complete, will soon be promised to others look. There is also a third son, only eleven or twelve years old.
Other people with a bit of status, that is the He Fu Zi, Master Zhou and other people. There is also a cold-faced housekeeper Wang, specializing in the management of all the maids and servants. And the dart masters on the ship were the Wang Tiegun duo.
However, Han Li was a little attentive, not to mention that the second young lady was a low-ranking Immortal Cultivator, but also that Wang Butler had a weak flow of true qi in his body, which was far from being comparable to the two dart masters’ shallow jianghu kung fu. And those underlings, there are also several people movement is robust, body contains hidden fury, seems to be not ordinary people.
Although the heart is a little strange, but a figure out the situation on board, Han Li will be Divine Sense back, no longer pay attention to their own cultivation up.
Two days later, the second lady really sent a little maid to ask Han Li to go over. Han Li naturally will not refuse, finally on the boat in a larger room, saw the second lady.
As soon as this woman saw Han Li, she waved her hand to dismiss the others before smiling at Han Li.
”Brother Han is also from the Dao Sect, right? My little sister, Cao Mengrong, is a disciple under the Xuan Yu Dao sect. I wonder if brother Han is under that sect?” This woman said in a polite and unusual manner. In her opinion, Han Li had neither a devilish Buddhist aura nor a Confucian Sect’s vast aura, so naturally he could only be a member of the Dao Sect.
”Xuan Yu Dao?” Han Li’s eyebrows twitched, not having heard of this name. However, this was quite normal; aside from the Ten Great Orthodox Sects and the Ten Great Devil Sects, he knew very little about the other sects of the Great Jin.
”This sect is only a small, nameless sect in Liaozhou, it’s not unusual for Fellow Daoist Han to not know about it.” Seeing Han Li’s somewhat hesitant appearance, Cao Mengrong lightly smiled and explained.
”Fellow Daoist Cao is too modest. Mister Han is a casual cultivator who just entered the Great Jin Immortal Cultivation Realm not long ago, and was originally unfamiliar with the various sects, so I’ll let Fellow Daoist make fun of me.” Han Li clasped his fists and made an embarrassed face.
”It turns out that Brother Han has just left the mountain. My little sister has similarly only left her division not long ago, but this sect is indeed just a small sect. On the contrary, Brother Han is so young and his cultivation is so exquisite, it’s really something to be congratulated!” Cao Mengrong’s bright eyes lit up as she said sweetly.
”It’s nothing, it was just a fluke that I had a bit of chance once, otherwise I wouldn’t have made it this far.” Han Li could only reply in an ambiguous manner.
Seeing that Han Li did not want to go into detail, the woman smiled faintly in understanding and did not pursue the matter any further, but instead said with a change of topic, “How did brother Han get his body sealed by cold ice in the river? Could it be that he encountered a strong enemy?”
”Almost so. Mister Han would also like to thank you for saving him!” Han Li let out a bitter smile, unwilling to mention it in detail.
”This kind of small matter is nothing, in fact, my little sister can also see that even if brother Han doesn’t need to come to his rescue, it won’t be long before he’ll also be iced out of his body. Just like this floating on the river, can be really some shocking, so little sister is also nosy. Moreover, I and other small sects and scattered cultivators, originally should support each other.” This woman said with a straight face.
Hearing this, Han Li was somewhat surprised in his heart, and after carefully sizing up this woman for a couple of moments, he nodded without moving and said nothing.
”By the way, I don’t know how Brother Han has recovered, if you don’t mind, you can stay on the ship for a few more days, the little woman is trying to ask for more pointers from fellow Daoist in terms of cultivation!”
”I don’t have any important matters to attend to at the moment, so there’s no harm in staying for a few more days. But it’s not possible to talk about guidance, we can exchange our cultivation experience with each other.” Han Li pondered for a moment, and out of some consideration, he actually agreed without a single refusal.
Cao Mengrong heard great joy, when this woman because of the limited qualifications, left the teacher earlier, and did not get what profound spells taught, and now can get the obvious cultivation far better than her Han Li point, this is naturally a good thing to ask for.
So after making an appointment, Han Li and this woman talked for a while longer before politely excusing herself.
”Han kid, how could you agree to stay? You don’t want to hurry up and find a spiritual vein to restore your mana?” As soon as Great Diffusion Godly Monarch waited for Han Li to return to the house, he couldn’t help but inquire.
”It’s natural to look for a spirit vein land, but these spirit lands must have been occupied by large and small clans of the Great Jin, and it seems that there are many more Great Jin Immortal Cultivators than I expected, so with my current cultivation going out to roam around is just a bit too risky. I don’t want to give my life away in confusion on the road before I have the power to defend myself.” Han Li calmly said.
”Oh! Then what is your plan ……”
”I have enough pills with me, and there are also several types of Spirit Eye items, enough to allow me to regain my Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation within a year, and it won’t be too late to find a method to undo the Baneful Qi at that time. As for this woman although it seems to have some heart, but the cultivation is still shallow, there is no malicious intent, just borrow first understand some of today’s Great Jin Immortal Cultivation World, and then plan for later action. All have already arrived in Great Jin, it’s not too bad to wait for a year or two.” Han Li said slowly.
”As you wish. But I don’t have much time left, and if I delay for a few more years, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to wait to see my heart’s blood. After all, gathering those materials will take quite a bit of time as well.” The Great Diffusion Godly Monarch seemed a little worried.
”Don’t worry senior, while searching for the method to lift the bane, I started keeping an eye out for those materials. However, the best method is still to use the power of a certain sect to help us collect them, so that we can save quite a bit of time.” Han Li seemed to have something in mind as he slowly explained.
”How do we rely on it? This isn’t Tiannan, I’m afraid that your name as Elder Han doesn’t work well here. Some of the larger clans won’t pay attention to you, and the smaller clans and sects don’t have the strength to do this. After all, the materials we need are all hard to find in this world.” The Great Diffusion Godly Monarch didn’t seem too optimistic about this method.
”We haven’t thought of a specific method yet, so we can only take one step at a time. Perhaps we don’t need to look for it, and the opportunity will just deliver itself to our door.” Han Li mockingly replied back.
He then stopped talking to the Great Diffusion Godly Monarch and casually took a set of array flags from his storage bag, laying down a simple restriction around him. The person then went to bed, took an elixir, and meditated on his knees.
