A Mortal's Story of Cultivation into Immortality

Han Li played with the jade slip in his hand with one hand and thought thoughtfully for a while. A flash of blue light appeared in his hand and the jade slip disappeared. Then he identified the direction and strode away from the place.

After passing through most of Tiantian City, Han Li arrived at a remote corner of the giant city and stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary grocery store.

On the door of this shop, there is a black wooden signboard with "Yuhexuan" written in large characters with flying phoenixes.

Han Li looked at it for a few times and walked in slowly.

The inside is not big, with only a small hall six to seven feet in size. Most of the goods sold are ordinary things such as talismans and raw materials. There is also a small side door on one side, which leads directly to the back hall.

Facing the door, there was a middle-aged man in gray robe sitting behind the counter, looking at a booklet that looked like an account book.

Han Li glanced at the other person with his spiritual consciousness and saw that the person's cultivation level was extremely low, only at the Qi Refining stage. Moreover, the shopkeeper's appearance was ordinary and ordinary, and he would never be noticed by an ordinary person in the crowd.

When the middle-aged shopkeeper saw Han Li walking in, he immediately stood up with a smile on his face and hurriedly came over to greet him.

"Senior, what do you want to see? Our store has all kinds of goods, which can definitely meet the needs of seniors." The middle-aged man said what all shopkeepers would say.

Han Li smiled slightly after hearing this, turned his palm, and the green jade slip appeared in his hand, and was stuffed directly into the middle-aged man's hand.

When the shopkeeper saw the jade slip in his hand, his expression changed. He quickly put the jade slip away and asked respectfully:

"Senior, may I ask your surname?"

"Han!" Han Li replied casually.

"It turns out that Senior Han has arrived. The Patriarch has long said that Senior will come, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly. Senior Han, please come with me." The middle-aged Palm Master said respectfully, and then turned to ask Han Li to come through the side door. Go into the back hall.

Han Li nodded and walked in without saying a word.

To his surprise, it turned out to be a warehouse-like place inside, filled with all kinds of boxes and cabinets placed around, completely covering the walls.

The middle-aged monk took a few steps forward and walked to a wooden cabinet. He stretched out his hand and lightly pressed the corner. Suddenly, the two cabinets next to each other on the other side separated by themselves, revealing a bare wall.

"Because I'm afraid of imposing restrictions and being sensed by some occasional guests, all the external mechanisms are made using secular methods." The middle-aged shopkeeper explained as he moved forward.

Han Li looked normal after hearing this and didn't find anything surprising.

The middle-aged man stepped on a piece of bluestone in front of the wall. After the wall made a muffled sound, it slowly parted, revealing a gloomy passage diagonally downwards.

"The juniors inside are not qualified to go in, so the seniors need to go out on their own." The middle-aged shopkeeper stepped aside and said with a smile on his face.

Han Li frowned and glanced inside with his consciousness. There were faint spiritual energy fluctuations in the passage, which were very weak. When he probed deeper, he was blocked by a layer of restrictions. However, based on Han Li's formation skills, he could tell at a glance that this was just a simple spiritual sense shielding barrier. Although you can force a breakthrough, the people inside will definitely notice it.

Han Li hesitated a little.

Although he believed that the old man from Jimen would not be stupid enough to do anything under the eyes of Tiantian City that day. But he didn't want to plunge into a closed place where he didn't know the depth because of an appointment with someone he didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend.

Just when Han Li hesitated for a moment, the people inside guessed Han Li's doubts at all, and in an instant, they suddenly removed the barrier blocking Han Li's consciousness.

Han Li felt something in his heart, knowing that the other party did this deliberately to win his trust.

Immediately and unceremoniously, he used his spiritual consciousness to re-examine the following situation clearly, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

"It turns out it's him! This is kind of interesting."

Han Li muttered a few words to himself, walked into the dark passage without any further hesitation.

When the middle-aged shopkeeper saw Han Li disappearing into the passage, he closed the entrance again, restored the cabinets, and returned to the front hall as if nothing had happened.

The passage is very long, leading to dozens of feet underground. It is obviously done deliberately to maintain privacy.

After Han Li walked for a while, he saw a flash of white light in the dark front. Knowing that he had reached the exit, he took a few quick steps and walked into a square stone house.

The room was large, but empty. There was nothing except a few futons.

Facing the entrance, there were two people sitting cross-legged on the futon, looking at Han Li with smiles.

Han Li didn't say anything, but sat down cross-legged on the futon in the corner of the room.

"I never expected that my Taoist friend would be looking for me. It's beyond my expectation to see you here." Han Li said with a chuckle at one of them.

The man, wearing a high crown and a blue robe, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw what Han Li said:

"Indeed, even I felt that I was doomed. After I broke up with you, I thought I had escaped. Unexpectedly, the other party used the secret tracking technique on me, and I was caught up by them on the edge of Mulan Grassland. But on the road to perfection, we encountered a group of high-level magicians who were looking for us, and we finally managed to escape while taking advantage of the chaos. Those people who attacked me will naturally settle their accounts slowly in the future."

After speaking, there was a fierce tone in the voice of this mid-stage Nascent Soul monk.

This person turned out to be Nanlong Hou who was chased by other treasure-hunting monks that day and escaped. Now his face is gray, his eyes are lifeless, his complexion is really bad, and his vitality must have been greatly damaged.

The person next to him was naturally the old man in white robe from Tianjimen who invited him here.

"Under that situation, fellow Taoist Nanlong was still able to escape. I admire you very much. However, if Brother Nanlong doesn't go back to the cave to recuperate, why are you so anxious to see me and even let this fellow Taoist send his disciples to harass you? My concubine. This makes Han a little confused." The smile on Han Li's face faded, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Han misunderstood. I had to do this as a last resort. Fellow Daoist, do you know that your current situation is not much different from mine, and you are the one who will be hunted down by those people. I am afraid that Fellow Daoist does not know the power of it, This is why I came up with this plan. And this is my life-and-death friend, fellow Taoist Xuanjizi from the Tianji Sect. Originally, I wanted to invite him to go on a treasure hunt last time, but unfortunately, this close friend happened to be from the same family. There is something going on inside, and there is no way to clone yourself." Marquis Nanlong first explained a few words, and then pointed to the old man in white robe beside him to introduce something.

At this time, Marquis Nanlong's attitude towards Han Li was very different from when they first met, and his words had an unusually polite tone.

This was naturally because Han Li had killed a Nascent Soul cultivator in one fell swoop and was somewhat afraid of him.

At this time, the old man in white robe smiled, cupped his hands at Han Li, and apologized slightly:

"My methods are indeed a bit offending. I hope Fellow Daoist Han won't take offense. That's why I did this. I'm really offended by many reasons."

"Forget it, since everything happened for a reason, I won't pursue it further. However, what Brother Nanlong just said was because of the jade box I took away?" Han Li waved his hand and asked suddenly.

"My fellow Taoist guess is correct. As far as I know, in order to bribe those people who were hunting for treasure together, the Ghost Spirit Sect spent a lot of money. It is almost certain that Master Cang Kun will get the route map and method of entering and exiting the Falling Demon Valley." . And Fellow Daoist Han happens to have one of the necessary items to enter the Falling Demon Valley. Only by combining it with the route map in Brother Nanlong's hand can we avoid most of the dangers in the valley and possibly get the treasure." Xuanjizi His expression straightened and he said solemnly.

"A must-have item to enter the Fallen Demon Valley! Are you talking about the black ring?" Han Li was startled when he heard this, but said slowly as if he remembered something.

"It's great that the two ritual rings are indeed in Brother Han's hands." Nanlonghou said with a hint of red on his face as he was refreshed.

"Liang Yihuan?" Han Li frowned, feeling as if he had heard of it somewhere. But after thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly started up, stared at Nanlong Marquis, and asked with some surprise.

"Is it the Liangyi Ring that Old Man Xuanhuang made from meteorite iron in the past? I heard that this treasure has no magical power at all when it is normal, but when it comes into contact with the Northern Yuanguang, it can control the Yuanguang and kill people invisible. It’s a very useless magic weapon in the world of immortality.”

"Fellow Taoist Han is indeed very knowledgeable. Yes, this is it. The two ritual rings are divided into two rings, Yin and Yang. If you have the Yin ring on your body, you will not be afraid of Yuan Guang harming your body. Only with the Yang ring in your hand can you control Yuan Guang to attack the enemy. And Daoist Friend The thing in his hand should be the Yin Ring. It was with the help of the Yin Ring that Master Cang Kun was able to pass through the Yuanguang Land in the valley and escape unscathed. As far as I know, although there are other methods as well as treasures, You can avoid the Northern Yuan Light, but either a large number of monks must set up a protective array, or the other treasures have disappeared and cannot be traced." Nanlong Hou calmed down and explained to Han Li.

"What do you mean by fellow Taoist..." Han Li looked at the two of them, but secretly considered the pros and cons and asked.
