A Mortal's Story of Cultivation into Immortality

"My surname is Han. I once had an appointment with Fairy Bai, so I came here to pay a visit." Han Li replied calmly.

"So it's Brother Han? Fairy Bai...could he be referring to Junior Sister Bai Yaoyi." The monk surnamed Ren pondered for a moment and then said with a hint of surprise.

"Yes, it's Fellow Daoist Bai." Han Li replied calmly.

"That's just right. I happen to be looking for Junior Sister Bai when I return to the palace this time. Why don't you show me the way for fellow Taoist Ren!" The monk surnamed Ren said with a flash of his eyes, and he was extremely enthusiastic.

Han Li's expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of surprise in his heart.

But before he could think of how to answer this person, a red light suddenly flashed in the distance, and a red light shot straight towards the stone cloud.

"It's Uncle Bai's transmission talisman!" Shi Yun grabbed the fire light in his hand and explained hurriedly.

Han Li swallowed the words that came to his lips.

As a result, Shi Yun was immersed in the flames for a moment, and then he immediately respectfully said to Han Li:

"Senior Han, Uncle Bai is very happy to hear that senior is here and has ended his retreat. Please come to Bai Ning Pavilion to see him."

"Bai Ning Pavilion. Shi Yun, go about your business. Fellow Daoist Han, please go with me." The monk surnamed Ren said without hesitation.

When Shi Yun heard this, he did not dare to object at all.

Han Li frowned inadvertently, and could not say any more words of rejection, so he could only nod and said:

"Then there's Brother Lao Ren."

"Haha, Junior Sister Bai and I are brothers. Since Fellow Daoist is a good friend of Junior Sister Bai, he is also a friend of Ren. Fellow Daoist, please!" The monk surnamed Ren said politely, and then he turned into a red rainbow and flew away leading the way. Walk.

Han Li followed him without any courtesy.

"Is this your first time to our Xiaoji Palace, fellow Taoist?" Monk Ren suddenly asked in the light.

"I am indeed the first to come to Beiming Island. Your palace deserves to be the first sect in the North, and its style is indeed extraordinary." Han Li said with a smile.

Hearing what Han Li said, monk Ren also showed a hint of complacency in his expression:

"Brother Han is so complimentary. But if I were not in a remote place, it would not be difficult to join the top ten sects of good and evil. By the way, in recent years, Junior Sister Bai only went out once ten years ago, and the rest of the time In seclusion. Brother Han must have met Junior Sister Bai when she left the palace last time. And Taoist friend is so advanced in cultivation, I don’t know which sect he comes from? To be honest, Taoist friend, although this palace is located in the extreme north, I often Having traveled throughout the Jin Dynasty, I know a thing or two about some of my famous comrades." The man changed the subject and began to inquire about Han Li's origins.

Han Li chuckled.

"I'm not from the Jin Dynasty, so it's not strange for fellow Taoists to know. No matter how detailed the origin is, Fairy Bai knows a little bit about it." Han Li looked at the other party and replied with a half-smile.

"Haha, that's it. I said that there is such a high-level monk as Brother Han in Jin Dynasty. How can it remain unknown?" Ren Bi heard Han Li's displeasure, laughed twice, and stopped asking any more questions. . After all, it was a bit of a gain to find out that the other party was not a Dajin monk. .

At this time, the two of them flew to the entrance of the Ice City, and the light shone down one after another.

Because the faint glow over the Ice City covered the entire area except for the huge mountains, it was clearly a very powerful restriction.

But standing under the ice city, Han Li felt the beauty of this ice city even more.

The ice wall of more than thirty feet does not seem very high, but its unusual crystal clearness really makes people enchanted and attracted without realizing it. What’s even more impressive is that the entire ice wall is not made of brick-like blocks of ice, but is completely transparent, as if it was directly carved from a giant piece of ice, with no gaps on the surface.

At the gate of the city, there were more than ten monks in white costumes guarding there.

Their highest level of cultivation was only at the foundation-building stage, but what was striking was that there were actually several ape-like white spirit beasts with them, with long fur and flawless white hair. They were squatting there, with a pair of green His eyes flashed with an eerie cold light.

These ape-like spiritual beasts are snow apes that specialize in extremely cold areas. Although the beasts are not of high rank, they are extremely intelligent and easy to tame, so they are kept by many monks throughout the North.

But these snow apes are somewhat different. Not only are they much taller than ordinary snow apes, but their aura is also that of a fourth or fifth level monster, which is almost lower than that of a foundation-building monk. This made Han Li look at it a few more times.

It seems that Xiaoji Palace, as the largest sect in the North, must have some unique secrets in taming these snow apes.

When the monks standing at the city gate saw the monk surnamed Ren approaching, they immediately stood on both sides with their hands tied, and they kept calling him "Uncle Master". But Ren Bitian didn't even nod his head, just gave a faint hum, and walked over in a grand manner.

Although the monks looked unfamiliar to Han Li, they naturally did not dare to ask any more questions since they had this great uncle with them.

But just as Han Li walked into the city gate and passed the snow apes, something strange happened.

These monster beasts suddenly let out a few whining sounds, and then retreated in panic.

Several Xiaoji Palace monks on the side were shocked when they saw this, and they immediately uttered a series of scoldings in animal language, but these snow apes didn't pay attention at all. They all curled up to the side with their arms wrapped around their heads, and their faces looked disgusted with Han. He looked extremely awe-inspiring.

Upon seeing this scene, monk Ren couldn't help but let out a sigh, and looked at Han Li with a strange look on his face.

"Do you have high-level ape-like spiritual beasts with you, fellow Taoist? Although these snow apes are not of great use, they are extremely sensitive to the spiritual senses of the same kind and can make them scared like this. It can be seen that the spiritual beasts of fellow Taoist are not trivial."

"I actually brought one of the ape spirit beasts with me. It's just that it's not very useful and is rarely used." Upon hearing this, Han Li naturally understood that these snow apes had sensed the presence of spirit beasts in their bags. The cry of the soul is so frightening. He immediately said casually, but without the slightest intention of calling out the crying soul.

Monk Ren smiled slightly and didn't really ask further.

So the two of them walked into the ice city.

The main street in the ice city is extremely straight and wide, and the ground is also covered with a thick layer of ice. Directly leading to the city gate.

From a distance, there were not many people on the street. Most of them were low-level monks wearing yellow and white clothes. Houses were neatly lined up on both sides of the street. It is more appropriate to say it is a city than a castle.

Before Han Li could take a closer look, the monk named Ren beside him turned into a ray of light again and flew straight towards the huge mountain from a low altitude.

With a look on his face, Han Li followed him without saying a word.

As a result, after a while, the two of them landed on an ice platform on the mountainside of the giant mountain.

"Down below, Brother Han will follow me on foot up the mountain. Because from now on, going up belongs to the scope of the inner palace. Although Ren is also an elder of the inner palace, he still has to abide by the palace rules." The monk surnamed Ren explained to Han Li with a smile. road.

Han Li nodded slightly to express his understanding.

Then the two of them walked slowly upward along a crystalline ice ladder leading up from the platform.

There were obviously not many Xiaoji Palace disciples who were qualified to enter the inner palace, and they only met a few people along the way. When these people saw the monk named Ren, they all respectfully came forward to greet him. But for these inner palace disciples, the elder of Xiaoji Palace was completely different from when he was at the city gate. He smiled at them regardless of their level of cultivation.

Han Li paid closer attention and found that these inner palace monks were indeed all very qualified regardless of their level of cultivation. And along the way, with Han Li's formation skills, he also discovered at least three or four powerful restrictions that even he would have been stunned by. It seems that Xiaoji Palace should have at least one master-level formation master.

This made Han Li even more interested in Xiaoji Palace, and he secretly wondered whether he should go back to the formation master to exchange information about formations.

While he was thinking about it, monk Ren led Han Li eastward and westward onto another, much more remote path. As a result, when he reached the end, he came to an ice wall about several hundred feet high.

Han Li looked at the ice wall, his eyebrows moved, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

At this moment, monk Ren raised his hand, and a shining silver jade card flew out.

The silver glow flew out from the card and disappeared into the ice wall.

After a moment, the ice wall trembled silently, and slowly split from the middle, revealing a two-foot-wide passage.

Monk Ren turned his head and explained to Han Li:

"The buildings that look like palaces on the top of the mountain are actually only for the low-level disciples of the inner palace to practice and live. The really high-level inner palace disciples actually live in the Hanli secret realm behind this wall. This is what our little The real location of the Ji Palace. If Brother Han hadn’t been a good friend of Junior Sister Bai, Ren would never have dared to bring outsiders in easily."

When Han Li heard some flattering words from the monk surnamed Ren, he smiled lightly on his face, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart. I'm afraid the Northland monks know a lot about this so-called Hanli Secret Realm, and they haven't made up any secrets for a long time.

Otherwise, how could Bai Yaoyi directly call herself here, and this person brought her here easily.

However, this person had obviously never had a relationship with him, so why did he act like he was trying his best to make friends with her when he saw her. This made Han Li confused, and he became more wary of the person in front of him.

But seeing the other party inviting him in, Han Li had no intention of being humble, and the two immediately walked into the passage side by side.

The passage is not too long, only more than a hundred feet.

When Han Li walked out of the passage and glanced ahead, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

Green and lush, with birds chirping and flowers fragrant, this is actually a fully enclosed valley surrounded by four walls. There are some exotic flowers and plants planted everywhere, the sun is shining brightly, and it looks like spring all year round.

The area here is several miles wide, and it is surrounded by green mountain walls. However, half leaning against the mountain walls, there are exquisite pavilions and terraces built one after another.

In the middle of the valley, there are three large halls made of white jade, occupying almost one-third of the valley.

Han Li looked at the three main halls, but his expression changed slightly, and a hint of shock suddenly rose in his heart.
