Chapter 173 Gathering

Han Li asked a question and insisted that his current level of cultivation was all the result of hard work. As for why his cultivation speed was so amazing, Han Li told a prepared story about an adventure he had accidentally eaten when he was a child. The story was told to Uncle Wang, and everything was attributed to Qi Guo. This was an excuse he specially made for this situation to occur.

Han Li knew that a lie could only be believed to be true if it was 70% true and 30% false. Therefore, the strange fruit he described was not imagined out of thin air, but a kind of "Dragon Scale Fruit" that has been circulating in the world for thousands of years. It is said that people who take the fruit of the Immortal Family can be reborn and ascend during the day. As for whether this thing really exists, Han Li has no idea. No one has actually eaten it.

Uncle Wang, who was well-read in poetry and books, his eyes lit up when he heard the appearance of the strange fruit described by Han Li. He actually found an ancient book called "Strange Things and Strange Stories" from somewhere, and found out from the book I found the "Dragon Scale Fruit" that Han Li mentioned and asked him to identify it.

When things got to this point, Han Li admitted it naturally, which made Uncle Wang "tsk-tsk" in amazement.

Han Li also told the other party that once the fruit was picked, the roots and leaves of the original plant would wither and die immediately. Even if he went to look for it again, he would never find another fruit. In this way, the other party's idea of ​​asking for the source and then searching for it is completely stopped, and the other party's further details are completely blocked.

As for whether this person is really greedy and thinks he really wants to go elsewhere to find the second fairy fruit, then ignore his business and let the other person do his own thing!

And Han Li knew very well that even if Uncle Wang looked like he had suddenly realized something in front of him, it was completely true. But in fact, Han Li didn't have much confidence in whether the other party could believe his words.

It is estimated that the other party is also half-believing and half-believing. Therefore, in the future, Han Li should avoid Master Wang as much as he can, hide as much as possible, and pay more attention to avoid being noticed by the other party.

But Han Li believed that as long as he could successfully build the foundation and enter the foundation building stage, his status would be completely different. Come to think of it, even if Uncle Wang still has doubts in his heart, he will not easily provoke him. After all, strength speaks for itself in the world of immortality!

As a result, Han Li finally managed to get over the problem of his own skills. Uncle Wang didn't know whether he was apologizing for the trouble he had just made to Han Li, but he didn't mean to make things difficult for Han Li when he signed up. It was easy. After completing all the procedures for him, he also gave him some precautions for participating in the trip to the forbidden area, so that he could make preparations in advance.

Han Li thanked him profusely and left.

After he returned, he said hello to the little old man and temporarily relieved himself of the work in the medicine garden so that he could concentrate on preparing for the Blood Trial.

After hearing this, the little old man was speechless for a long time. He kept looking at Han Li with a strange look like "you are dead", which made Han Li feel upset for a long time.

But what surprised him was that before leaving, Uncle Ma threw two bottles of elixirs to Han Li without saying a word, and said coldly: "One bottle for internal use and one bottle for external application." The cold-looking imperial weapon flew away.

This move made Han Li feel a little warm in his heart.

After getting along with him for the past two years, he got to know the little old man. Although he had a strange temperament, he was also a cold-hearted person, but he was a little obsessed with the art of alchemy. Being able to treat him like this now shows that Uncle Ma has treated him as a nephew, Han Li felt a little bit.

Three days before the trip to the forbidden area, Uncle Wang finally sent a letter to Han Li, urging him to gather in the meeting hall and prepare to set off.

When Han Li arrived, the disciples who had signed up to participate in the Blood Trial gathered here and looked at each other.

There are more than tens of thousands of disciples in the Qi Refining Period of Huang Maple Valley, and Han Li naturally doesn't know them all. But one woman appeared among them, whom Han Li was extremely familiar with. Han Li couldn't help but recognize that this woman was "Junior Sister Chen" who was almost raped by "Senior Brother Lu".

Speaking of which, after "Senior Brother Lu" was killed by Han Li, he really caused a small commotion in Yellow Maple Valley. Although this person has not yet established a foundation, he is after all the owner of a supernatural spiritual root, and he is considered a low-level disciple who attracts the attention of the higher-ups in Yellow Maple Valley.

After "Junior Sister Chen" came back, she didn't mention the experience of that night to others for unknown reasons, and kept silent about it.

In this way, "Senior Brother Lu" who had disappeared for a long time was treated as a missing person. After making various contacts within the door and searching for a while, no results were found, so the matter gradually fell into disuse.

It's not like this has happened before for people to suddenly disappear from the valley. "Senior Brother Lu" is not the first person to have trouble, and he will definitely not be the last.

After the limelight passed, no one in Huang Maple Valley mentioned "Senior Brother Lu" anymore, as if he never existed at all. This situation made Han Li breathe a sigh of relief, but he also felt an icy chill.

There are indeed many immortal cultivators who have given up on love and desire. If he disappeared one day, the reaction among the people would not be like this! Most likely, they would forget about him in the blink of an eye, and would never bother to inquire about his whereabouts.

It seems that the low-key and cautious attitude he has adopted since entering the house is absolutely correct.

After all, the road to immortality is so long, and the possibility of accidents is so high. If I continue to attract attention and do stupid things to attract attention, then a low-level immortal cultivator like him with no background or support may be on the road to immortality at any time. , was crushed to death by some powerful being that could not resist. The possibility of embarking on the path of cultivating immortality in the next life is almost as low as none.

Han Li, who originally didn't believe much in reincarnation, became dubious after coming into contact with the world of immortality.

"Junior Sister Chen's" demeanor was obviously different from before. I wonder if it was caused by the betrayal of the couple. Her eyebrows were bare and she became cold and glamorous. Her whole body exuded the aura of keeping away from strangers, which made several people who were attracted Attracted by his appearance, the young man who tried to come forward to talk was frustrated and returned.

Regardless of whether all men are a bit mean, this woman's cold and arrogant expression not only did not diminish her beauty, but instead added a bit of mysterious charm, causing all the male disciples around her to peek at her. This kind of charm is much more attractive than the image of a cute little bird she had in front of "Senior Brother Lu".

But after Han Li saw it, he grinned inwardly.

Needless to say, there is another woman in the world who treats men like poisonous scorpions. After experiencing the betrayal of her last couple, this woman may not be able to easily show her lust for men anymore, and she may even plan to live alone for the rest of her life.

This "Junior Sister Chen" did not recognize Han Li. After Han Li deliberately walked in front of her a few times, all she got was a cold look from him. Obviously, she regarded Han Li as someone who was deliberately showing off in front of her.

Han Li breathed a sigh of relief. The psychedelic power of the Hehuan Pill was indeed powerful. This woman had no impression of him at all. In this way, the last worry was completely eliminated.

Speaking of which, the other party would participate in this bloody trial, most likely because of his own gift. After losing the Foundation Establishment Pill, this woman had no choice but to give it a try like herself if she wanted to establish the Foundation. After all, this trip to the forbidden area is the only way to get the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The disciples participating in the Forbidden Land Tour in Huang Maple Valley this time are really strong and elite. There are as many as five or six disciples at the top of the thirteenth level alone.

Most of the remaining disciples were at the twelfth level, and "Junior Sister Chen" was at the mid-level of the twelfth level.

There are only three disciples on the last eleven levels. In addition to Han Li, there was also a white-haired old man and a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. Han Li felt a chill in his heart when he saw them. The three of them are probably the legendary make-up personnel and cannon fodder disciples.

According to past practice, the number of low-level disciples from the seven major sects who can enter the forbidden area cannot exceed twenty-five, and they can only be less but not more. In the past few times, there were simply not enough people to gather, and often only a dozen people participated in the Blood Trial.

But this time, not only the number of people reached the maximum, but also the appearance of so many elite disciples. All this shows that this time the collection of herbs in the forbidden area will definitely exceed the ordinary level in the past, and the number of people who can survive will definitely be less than A quarter.

Seeing this expected scene, Han Li couldn't do anything but curse in his heart! Needless to say, these elite disciples must have been individually promised higher rewards by the higher-ups within the sect, otherwise they would not be here.
