Chapter 1197

As for Dong Xuan'er in the white shirt, her bright red lips moved a few times, but in the end, she didn't say anything. However, the expression on her face was complex, seeming a bit excited, happy, and also a bit estranged and resentful. Net

"Miss Han coming here, I am too happy to be troubled. How could there be any trouble? You don't need to call me Senior or anything; just call me Big Brother Han. You seem to have reached the mid-stage of Core Formation; it seems entering the late stage is just a matter of time," Han Li said with a smile.

Hearing Han Li say this, a blush appeared on the woman in yellow's face, but then she nodded happily.

"Coming here this time, I actually wanted to thank Big Brother Han for sparing my life twice back then. If it had been in the hands of other cultivators, Han Yunzhi probably wouldn't have survived either time," Han Han Yunzhi said gratefully in a low voice.

"It seems you remember the Blood Trial back then, and you also know that what happened in the Yue Kingdom later was my doing." Han Li was stunned at first, then laughed dumbly.

"I met Senior Sister Liu Yu not long ago, and she told me about what happened back then. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have dared to come see Big Brother Han," a faint smile appeared on the corner of Han Han Yunzhi's mouth.

It's strange to say, although Han Li vaguely regarded this woman as his own little sister, this Han Han Yunzhi seemed to have similar feelings for Han Li. After a few sentences, she forgot Han Li's current status and began to chat and laugh with him with unusual intimacy.

As they talked, Han Li and this woman actually chatted about some past events from the Tainan Small Assembly and the Blood Trial, both of them feeling greatly emotional. When the two participated in this assembly back then, they never imagined that two or three hundred years later, they would have their current encounters!

A Foundation Establishment cultivator at that time was an existence that both of them had to look up to.

"By the way, this Sister Dong is someone I met at the ceremony. I heard she was Big Brother Han's fellow disciple back then, and she also has something to find Big Brother for this time," Han Han Yunzhi suddenly remembered something, turned her head to smile at Dong Xuan'er, and said this to Han Li.

"Fairy Dong was indeed a fellow disciple of mine in the Yellow Maple Valley back then. However, it seems your cultivation hasn't improved significantly since we last met in a hurry, and you are still in the same place," Han Li said, looking at Dong Xuan'er only after hearing Han Han Yunzhi's words, his tone neither cold nor warm.

"If I have become like this, isn't it all thanks to you!" After Dong Xuan'er's face alternated between red and white, she suddenly bit her pearly teeth and said to Han Li with unusual annoyance.

Han Li was stunned, completely confused.

Han Han Yunzhi blinked her beautiful eyes, also showing a look of confusion.

"Fairy Dong, what do you mean by this? What does your stagnant cultivation have to do with me!" Han Li, who had come back to his senses, was naturally unhappy and said with a sunken face.

"If you hadn't become my inner demon, how could I have repeatedly failed to break through the bottleneck and stayed in the mid-stage for so many years!" Dong Xuan'er also instantly forgot the status difference between her and Han Li, and said with anger and resentment, seeming to have a belly full of grievances that she couldn't express.

"Inner demon?" Han Li muttered, feeling a bit surprised and suspicious.

"Back then at Yan Family Fort, I fell into the hands of Tian Buque and was kidnapped back to the Joyous Union Sect, only then did I learn my true background. I am actually the direct descendant of the Joyous Union Sect's Old Demon Yunlu, but later some accidents happened, and I became a disciple of the Yellow Maple Valley. Before I was even born, Old Demon Yunlu personally planted a secret technique called the 'Dream-Evolving Art' on me. Once I practice cultivation techniques related to charm, it would naturally be smooth and twice the result with half the effort. But the hardest and easiest part of this art is the inner demon barrier. The easy part might have no obstacles at all, passing easily like eating or drinking. The hard part might leave one trapped in the inner demon barrier for life, with cultivation unable to advance even an inch. Some with inner demons that are too heavy might even experience the strange occurrence of cultivation regression," Dong Xuan'er said, gritting her teeth.

"Even so, how could I become your inner demon? I didn't have much interaction with Daoist friend Dong." After being stunned for a long while, Han Li asked with a strange expression.

"How could I know this! Ever since I successfully formed my Core, you began to appear frequently in my cultivation as an inner demon. Although I relied on some external forces to barely break through the early stage of Core Formation, after reaching the mid-stage, I was powerless. Only by passing the inner demon barrier can my cultivation advance again. I also asked my ancestor, Old Demon Yunlu; he said that the reason you became my inner demon is mostly because you practiced some special cultivation technique back then that could not be seduced by my charm, and later when I was in Tian Buque's hands and was backlashed by my own charm, the impression you left on me was too deep, which is why you became my inner demon," Dong Xuan'er said with unwillingness.

Han Li was completely speechless.

Han Han Yunzhi was also dumbfounded upon hearing this.

"I heard that shortly after you formed your Core, you sent people to look for me back then. If you had found me, how did you intend to deal with me, your inner demon?" After a long while, Han Li finally regained his composure, his eyes flickered, and he asked slowly.

"What methods could there be to deal with an inner demon? Either rely on one's own will to overcome it, or directly destroy the person representing the inner demon, or... resolve it. I wanted to use the second method at the time." Dong Xuan'er's words were a bit hesitant, and when she said the last sentence, a rosy glow suddenly rose on her cheeks.

Making this woman instantly unusually beautiful.

Hearing the woman's words about destroying him, Han Li narrowed his eyes, but after hearing everything, he showed a look of astonishment, remembered something, and felt a bit uncomfortable on his face.

"I understand your purpose for coming here. You want me to use the Divine Sense Transmission secret technique to help you pass the inner demon barrier," Han Li said slowly after a silence.

"Yes. Originally, when the Mulan people invaded back then, I saw you and wanted to ask for your help. But I didn't expect you to have already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. After a moment of hesitation, I missed the opportunity," Dong Xuan'er's expression returned to normal, and she admitted frankly.

"Daoist friend Dong is so sure that I will definitely help you?" Han Li asked back with a light smile.

"You are now the number one cultivator in Tiannan; I don't know if you will help a small Core Formation cultivator like me. But if I want to advance to the Nascent Soul stage in my lifetime, this is the only way, so I can only try," Dong Xuan'er said with a look of resentment.

"Although our time together back then was sometimes unpleasant, we were fellow disciples after all. Since the inner demon was caused by me, helping you pass the inner demon barrier is not worth mentioning to me now. I can help you once," Han Li said slowly.

"Really!" Dong Xuan'er was overjoyed.

"Helping you pass the inner demon barrier is not worth mentioning to me now. How could I lie to you! However, once this matter is over, you and I will have no more connection. Daoist friend Dong, take care of yourself in the future," Han Li said slowly, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

"Since Daoist friend Han is willing to help, Dong Xuan'er is deeply grateful. How could I have any other delusions!" Dong Xuan'er's face turned pale, and after a moment of silence, she replied expressionlessly.

"Good, Daoist friend Dong, please rest here for three days. Three days later, I will come to this building again to help you pass the inner demon barrier," Han Li said, his expression unusually calm.

Dong Xuan'er nodded coldly and said nothing more.

Below, Han Li chatted with Han Han Yunzhi for a while longer, letting her stay in the Falling Cloud Sect for a few more days to enjoy herself, and then he took his leave and left the pavilion.

Five days later, Dong Xuan'er and Han Han Yunzhi left the Falling Cloud Sect one after another, returning to the Spirit Beast Sect and the Joyous Union Sect respectively.

Only this time, with Han Li's help, Dong Xuan'er finally passed the inner demon barrier and would have no obstacles to advancing to the late stage of Core Formation in the future. As for Han Han Yunzhi, besides having several more treasures and a few bottles of pills gifted by Han Li, she also carried a letter from Han Li to the Great Elder of the Spirit Beast Sect.

When Han Li turned into a green rainbow and landed in front of his cave dwelling, a middle-aged woman in a palace dress with white clothes fluttering was waiting there with a smile. She

saw Han Li's escape light land and immediately said gently:

"Why, Sister Han Yunzhi has already left. Actually, you could have let her stay for a few more days."

"No need. Having these few days of gathering is enough to untie the knot regarding Han Yunzhi," Han Li shook his head with a smile.

"By the way, I just received news about another one of your confidantes. That woman named Zi Ling successfully formed her Nascent Soul a few years ago and has set off to travel in the Great Jin. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to see her for a short time," Nangong Wan said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"With Zi Ling's aptitude, forming a Nascent Soul is nothing strange. As for whether she is in Tiannan, it is of no importance. If there is fate, we will naturally meet again. In addition, a few days later, after the batch of refining materials I need is delivered, I plan to start a life-and-death seclusion, striving to practice my cultivation to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible, then thoroughly refine the Great Expansion Art, and finally merge the five types of extreme cold flames and the Five-Child Devil into one," Han Li said leisurely after smiling at his beloved wife.

"Good! I also want to sprint to the late Nascent Soul stage; I hope that the day you and I leave seclusion will be the time when my husband and wife achieve success together," Nangong Wan smiled sweetly, her expression unusually soft and charming.

"Haha, I hope it can really be as Wan'er said. But these few days, you can accompany your husband well for a few nights," Han Li suddenly showed a strange look on his face, and his eyes lingered on the woman's graceful curves with ill intent.

"Bah! When did you become so glib!" The woman in the palace dress blushed upon hearing this and spat lightly at Han Li, but her expression was both happy and shy, her bright eyes rippling endlessly.

"Glib! Since I was born, this is the first time someone has evaluated me, Han Li, like this. Perhaps in this life, I will only be glib to you alone!" Han Li raised his head and laughed, his voice shaking the heavens, and laughter echoed faintly in several mountain peaks.

In a cave dwelling on a secondary peak, a young girl about fourteen or fifteen years old was holding a jade slip and reading it. After hearing Han Li's laughter, she couldn't help but tilt her head and listen for a moment.

Suddenly, she smiled sweetly, a knowing smile appearing on her face.
