Chapter 1170: Arrangements

"Sister Liu, did you get the spiritual herb?" Two other escape lights flew out from the bamboo forest, arriving beside the white-clad woman in the blink of an eye, revealing two other beautiful women, one of whom, a woman in yellow clothes, asked.

"I got it, but it's not the one we were looking for, it's just a Purple Flame Flower!" The white-clad woman replied with a bitter smile.

"Junior Sister Mu, don't be anxious. We have only searched a small area of the outer valley, the Illusion Spirit Grass we want to find might be in other places!" The last woman, who was dressed in a green palace dress, said with a smile.

These three beautiful women were naturally Liu Yu, Mu Mu Peiling, and the woman surnamed Song from the White Phoenix Peak.

They had been on the outskirts of the Fallen Demon Valley for nearly half a month. Although they had found some other hidden spiritual herbs, the Illusion Spirit Grass they had been looking for had been nowhere to be found. Liu Yu and Mu Mu Peiling couldn't help but feel anxious. The woman surnamed Song, however, remained unhurried.

"That's true, but other places might have some dangers. Those areas might still have residual space cracks. If we accidentally fall into one, we might lose our lives." Liu Yu frowned, somewhat worried.

"These space cracks have long since disappeared for the most part. As long as we are clever, it's impossible for us to happen to run into one. Moreover, the spiritual pills refined this time are very important for Core Formation cultivators, and the path of cultivation is originally full of dangers. If we don't even dare to take this little risk, we might as well just sit and cultivate hard in the sect." The woman surnamed Song said with a light laugh.

"Senior Sister Song's words make sense. I have already reached the bottleneck of the middle stage. If I don't have the spiritual pills refined this time, I estimate it will be very difficult to break through." Mu Mu Peiling pondered for a long while, then sighed lightly.

"Since Senior Sister Song and Junior Sister Mu both agree, I naturally have no choice but to accompany you to the end." Liu Yu's bright eyes flowed, and she smiled sweetly.

Since the three women had reached a consensus, they immediately transformed into three escape lights and shot toward the other areas of the outer valley, disappearing without a trace in a flash.

At the same time, in the forbidden area of the Falling Cloud Sect, the stone room door slowly opened again. Han Li walked out of the stone room with a look of satisfaction, only to immediately find Lü Luo sitting cross-legged outside his cave dwelling restriction, not knowing how long he had been waiting.

Han Li pondered slightly, understood what was going on, and immediately smiled, welcoming him out personally after opening the cave dwelling restriction.

"Junior Brother Han, I heard from Junior Sister Tian that you were refining artifacts in seclusion. I thought I would have to wait another two days. I didn't expect Junior Brother to come out of seclusion so quickly." Seeing Han Li appear, Lü Luo was overjoyed, hurriedly stood up, and bowed to Han Li.

"I just re-refined some small things I obtained in Dajin. I originally thought I would come out in two or three days. I didn't expect it to take longer than expected. Sorry to have kept Senior Brother waiting for so long! Senior Brother, are you here this time because of the people from the Ancient Sword Sect and the Hundred Crafts Academy?" Han Li asked unhurriedly.

"That's right, the elders of these two sects have almost all come out. It seems that some of them still don't believe that Junior Brother has truly advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage." Lü Luo replied with a smile.

"Since that's the case, I will meet them." Han Li said noncommittally.

"That would be best." Lü Luo was naturally very satisfied.

Immediately, the two transformed into two escape lights and flew straight toward the Falling Cloud Sect.

After a while, the two appeared outside the main hall under the main peak of the sect.

There were more than a dozen Qi Refining stage disciples at the entrance of the hall. Seeing Han Li and the other, they naturally stepped forward to pay respects respectfully, and a few of them couldn't help but steal a few glances at Han Li.

Han Li frowned and snorted lightly in his nose.

This snort sounded ordinary to others, but to those few disciples who were stealing glances, it was like a clap of thunder, shaking them with fear, and they hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look anymore.

"Are those Fellow Daoists in the hall?" Lü Luo, however, ignored Han Li's actions and asked casually.

"Reporting to the two Ancestors, the seniors from the Ancient Sword Sect and the Hundred Crafts Academy have been meditating in the hall, and nothing has happened." A clever disciple hurriedly replied.

Lü Luo nodded.

Han Li's spiritual sense swept into the hall, taking in the cultivation of everyone who had come.

Two mid-Nascent Soul, three early-Nascent Soul, it seems the great elders of these two sects have all come personally.

Han Li thought lazily in his heart.

With his divine abilities of having once killed a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he naturally would no longer put these cultivators in the hall in his heart.

Han Li did not speak, and walked directly into the hall.

Lü Luo was startled, and immediately followed closely, but took the initiative to fall one step behind Han Li, showing that Han Li was the master.

But Lü Luo had only followed for a few steps when he was shocked to find that Han Li in front had suddenly "disappeared."

This so-called disappearance meant that the naked eye could still see Han Li there, but when swept with spiritual sense, it was empty, as if he were just a mass of air.

Lü Luo immediately gasped, and at the same time felt a little worried in his heart.

This kind of complete isolation of aura was a secret art that could only be performed by high-tier cultivators who were confident in their powerful spiritual sense when facing low-tier cultivators who were far inferior to them.

Knowing Han Li's location with his early-stage Nascent Soul spiritual sense, but being unable to sense his existence, didn't it mean that if Han Li wanted to ambush early-stage cultivators like them, they wouldn't be able to discover him even if he approached their side?

Of course, he was also worried. Han Li was a newly advanced late-stage cultivator after all. Could he really intimidate the two great elders of the Ancient Sword Sect and the Hundred Crafts Academy by suddenly showing off this divine ability? After all, they were middle-stage cultivators. If he failed to suppress the other party's spiritual sense, it might be counterproductive.

Of course, Lü Luo also understood that Han Li dared to use this method, so he naturally had a few parts of certainty.

The corridor was only a short section, and a moment later, Han Li and the other walked into the hall.

"Swish," ten gazes swept over together, all falling on Lü Luo, and then turned to Han Li in surprise.

Seeing this, Lü Luo felt relieved.

This meant that among the five Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall, none of them could sense Han Li's existence.

At this moment, the five people in the hall changed their expressions, and then stood up one after another.

"Fellow Daoist Han is indeed a great cultivator of the late Nascent Soul stage, even we middle-stage cultivators cannot sense your aura." An old man with sparkling eyes said with a solemn smile, his look of shock gradually fading.

This person was precisely the Great Elder of the Ancient Sword Sect, Jin Qiong Laoguai!

"That's right, it's only been a hundred years. Brother Han has advanced to the late stage. The speed of cultivation is so fast that even if it's not unprecedented, it's probably not far off." Another person who reacted quickly was a big man in a purple robe, who was the Fire Dragon Old Monster of the Hundred Crafts Academy.

These two had both seen Han Li when he visited the Hundred Crafts Academy back then, and he had even fought Jin Qiong Laoguai once.

Therefore, Han Li replied with a faint smile:

"Han Mou just had some other fate during this trip. However, I didn't know that you two Fellow Daoists had come to the Falling Cloud Sect personally, and kept you waiting for so long, which is truly somewhat impolite."

"Haha, for us cultivators, this time is just the blink of an eye. What does it count for?" Jin Qiong Laoguai laughed.

Han Li smiled slightly, and then examined the other three as well. Two of them were newly advanced Nascent Soul cultivators of the two sects, but the last one was a woman with a gentle appearance, who was the female cultivator named Ming Xin of the Ancient Sword Sect who had also participated in the Hundred Crafts Academy visit back then.

When Han Li swept his spiritual sense over this woman, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly said slowly to her:

"Fellow Daoist Ming Xin, have you been well? Your cultivation seems to be reaching the bottleneck of the early stage. As long as you cultivate hard for another ten years or so, I'm afraid advancing to the middle stage is just around the corner."

Seeing Han Li look over, the woman's face looked somewhat unnatural, and after hearing Han Li say her cultivation progress so casually, and it was accurate to the dot, her face finally lost its color.

To say that before seeing Han Li, the one who didn't believe that Han Li could truly advance to the late-stage great cultivator among the two sects was not the middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivators like Jin Qiong Laoguai, nor the other elders of the two sects, but this female cultivator.

You must know that when she visited the Hundred Crafts Academy back then, although this woman had also just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage not long ago, she relied on a strange treasure to assist her, and her cultivation speed was several times faster than ordinary cultivators, and relying on this treasure, she had broken through bottlenecks several times in succession, which was why she had condensed her Nascent Soul at such a young age, and was regarded as a cultivation genius by the Ancient Sword Sect.
