Chapter 1797: 1762: Old Acquaintances

"Looking at you four fellow daoists, it seems that the vitality you lost in the wilderness has not yet fully recovered." Han Li's gaze only circled lightly on the four of them, and he easily saw their current situation, asking indifferently.

"Senior has eyes like torches. This junior and the others did indeed damage our true essence, and coupled with our low cultivation, we have only barely recovered nearly half now." The scholar had nothing to hide and replied honestly.

"Since that's the case. I have a few bottles of pills here; you four take them and swallow them. Refine the medicinal power, and then sit quietly for a month, and you will be able to recover as before." Han Li pondered for a moment, turned his hand, and four light green jade bottles appeared in his palm, saying indifferently.

"Thank you, Senior, for the pills!" The four scholars were overjoyed and thanked him again.

They stepped forward one by one, took the jade bottles with both hands, and then opened the bottle caps, and a strange fragrance immediately filled the whole hall.

After smelling it slightly, they only felt refreshed and their spirits greatly lifted.

The scholar and others were even more delighted, knowing that the spiritual medicine in the bottle was no small matter, and its efficacy might be even stronger than what Han Li said.

"Senior, what is the matter with your visit to this junior's residence, and is there anything we can do for you?" The scholar, who was able to cultivate to his current realm, was naturally not a stupid person, and after putting away the spiritual medicine, asked sensibly.

"Hmm, I do have something for you to do. Although this matter is simple, it takes a long time and requires someone who can stay in Sky Abyss City for a long time. I don't know if you fellow daoists have this time. Of course, I, Han, will not let you fellow daoists do this for nothing." Han Li asked calmly.

"Senior, please rest assured, we four have no intention of leaving Sky Abyss City within a hundred years. If there is anything, please feel free to order. We will definitely not refuse anything we can do." The scholar heard that Han Li's matter was not dangerous, and his heart relaxed, agreeing fully.

"Since you fellow daoists have said so, then I will not be polite. I once mentioned a female cultivator named Nangong Wan; you help me check her in Sky Abyss City. She is a flying cultivator and may have changed her name. But I will leave you a jade slip with her portrait so you can identify her. If you cannot find her in Sky Abyss City, please continue to keep an eye out for this female cultivator for the next hundred years. If you can truly find her, I will definitely reward you heavily." Han Li said with a faint smile.

"No problem, we four still have some friends in Sky Abyss City. As long as this Fairy truly appears in Sky Abyss City, we will definitely help Senior find her." The scholar respectfully agreed.

"Hmm, besides this, there is one more thing. I am preparing to refine a batch of pills, but because there are many types of materials required, most of them are not common items, and even Sky Abyss City cannot collect them all in a short time. And I have to go far away recently, so I can only let you fellow daoists collect them for me. Here is a sum of spirit stones, which should be enough for purchasing the spiritual medicine. In addition, these few treasures are items I obtained by chance in the past, so I will give them to you fellow daoists."

As soon as Han Li finished speaking, he flicked his long sleeve toward the table beside him.

With spiritual light flashing, four jade boxes of different sizes and a black leather bag appeared.

The four scholars were surprised and looked at each other, and after a few transmissions, they agreed respectfully.

Afterward, the scholar first apologized, picked up the leather bag, and swept his divine sense into it, then his face changed greatly and he lost his voice, full of disbelief.

The red-armored man and the other two women were stunned, and their eyes toward Han Li were somewhat suspicious.

But Han Li's expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't seen it.

Fortunately, the scholar saw that something was wrong and hurriedly explained:

"Senior truly has a big hand, actually taking out so many top-grade spirit stones. It seems that the spiritual medicine Senior wants to collect is indeed extraordinary. However, since Senior trusts us so much, we will definitely do our best."

After saying this, the scholar carefully put away the leather bag, hesitated for a moment, picked up one of the four jade boxes on the table, and opened it solemnly.

A white mist of rosy light flew out, and inside the box was a white jade fan, with spiritual light on the surface and heavy runes.

The scholar raised his hand and took out the jade fan, waved it slightly, and fan shadows appeared in front of him, while a shocking spiritual pressure spread out.

"This Mountain and River Fan has both wind and earth divine abilities. After one fan, it can injure enemies invisibly with ten thousand jin of force from over a hundred zhang away. It can be considered a pretty good treasure." Han Li watched this scene and said with a light smile.

The scholar immediately thanked him with great joy.

The other three also took a jade box each and opened them excitedly.

As a result, there was a pair of silver rings, a colorful silk, and a mysterious ice flying knife in the boxes.

These three treasures were chicken ribs to Han Li, but to Void Refinement cultivators like the scholar, they were dream treasures, and they thanked him repeatedly with great joy.

Of course, these four people accepted his treasures, so they officially agreed to Han Li's request.

As for whether the four would regret it afterward and flee with the spirit stones, Han Li was very relieved.

He had already inquired about the background of these four in the city.

These people also had some fame in the city, and they were not loose cultivators; their families or sects could be easily found.

Under such circumstances, as long as these four had a little brain, they would not do such stupid things. Otherwise, it would be a huge disaster for their own relatives.

What's more, before leaving the pavilion, in order to be safe, Han Li told the four in a nonchalant tone that he had just advanced to the Body Integration stage, and showed a little of the heaven and earth energy manipulation ability that only Body Integration cultivators could easily master.

The four scholars were stunned, and naturally they had no other thoughts.

After Han Li left the pavilion, he turned into a streak of light and flew straight toward the area of huge stone towers where the Sky Abyss Guards lived back then.

Not long after, Han Li appeared near one of the stone towers, looking at the guards entering and exiting the entrance, a trace of trance on his face.

This stone tower was exactly where he lived when he served as an Azure Underworld Guard back then.

Returning to this place after only a few hundred years, it seemed as if everything was exactly the same as back then.

After Han Li's eyes flickered a few times, he withdrew that trace of emotion and flew over with his light.

At the entrance of the stone tower, there were more than a dozen black iron guards and two Azure Underworld Guards guarding there.

Seeing a cultivator who was clearly not a Sky Abyss Guard flying over, they immediately swept their suspicious gazes over.

Han Li's expression was calm, but as soon as he approached these guards, he unreservedly released his Body Integration stage aura.

Although he only released a trace, the huge difference between the realms still made the two Azure Underworld Guards, who were caught off guard, change their expressions greatly and sway a few times.

The black iron guards were even more unbearable, and they retreated a few steps with a "deng deng" sound.

"Body Integration cultivator!" An Azure Underworld Guard man gasped.

"Eh, are you Fellow Daoist Han!" An old man among the Azure Underworld Guards with a short beard stared blankly after sweeping his gaze over Han Li's face.

This person actually knew Han Li.

Han Li was also somewhat surprised upon hearing this, and couldn't help but look at the short-bearded old man carefully, actually finding him somewhat familiar.

"Are you Fellow Daoist Yue!" Han Li recognized the old man after pondering for a moment.

"Fellow Daoist Han... no, Senior Han, you..." The short-bearded old man looked like he had seen a ghost, muttering like he was dreaming.

"Senior is not an elder of Sky Abyss City, right? May I ask Senior's name, and is there anything this junior can do for you? Brother Yue, do you know this Senior?" Although the Azure Underworld man was also shocked, he didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly bowed, asking the Yue old man in a low voice.

But the short-bearded old man was clearly still in a trance at this time, opening his mouth but saying nothing.

"Is Fairy Xu of the Azure Underworld Guard in the tower?" Han Li asked indifferently.

"Ah, Fairy Xu! Fellow Daoist Xu just led a team out of the city to patrol a few days ago. I'm afraid it will take a few days for her to return." Although the Azure Underworld man was strange about the old man's abnormality, he replied respectfully.

"Since she is not here. I won't go in. After Fairy Xu returns, please trouble you to bring a message, just say that I am waiting at the Gathering Immortal Pavilion in the city. Please ask Fellow Daoist Xu to come over. As for my identity, Fellow Daoist Yue knows it very clearly, so I won't say anything." Han Li frowned slightly, but immediately ordered as usual.

Then he bowed slightly to the short-bearded old man, and flew away as a streak of light.

The man naturally led a group of black-armored guards to show respect.

"Brother Yue, who exactly is this Senior Han? Why are you acting so out of sorts?" Seeing the green rainbow vanish without a trace, the burly man turned back and, seeing the Yue-surnamed elder still looking dazed, spoke with some dissatisfaction.

"Since she is looking for Fairy Xu, it seems it really is this person. Brother Ding, don't blame me. This 'Senior Han' was no different from us Azure Underworld Guards three hundred years ago. When I last saw this 'Senior Han', he was only at the mid-stage of Transformation." The short-bearded old man finally seemed to recover, replying in an unusually strange voice.

"Three hundred years ago, Azure Underworld Guard! Brother Yue, are you joking!" The man was startled upon hearing this, his eyes wide open.

"Brother Ding joined Sky Abyss City less than two hundred years ago, so you don't know. I and this 'Senior Han' were Azure Underworld Guards back then, and although we had no friendship, I was once helped by him. This 'Senior Han' was quite famous in our Azure Underworld Guard back then, able to kill alien races equivalent to the Void Refinement stage with Transformation cultivation. Later, it seemed he took some secret mission and entered the wilderness, and there was no trace of him since. But even so, not seeing him for these years, he actually jumped from Transformation to Body Integration, which is too unbelievable." The Yue old man sighed, unable to hide the shock and jealousy in his words.
