Chapter 1811: Young Master Hai and Qi Lingzi

A day later, a green rainbow shot out from the mountain range where the Xu family was located. After circling, Han Li's figure appeared in the high sky.

He looked back at the mountain range below a few times indifferently, then started his escape light and shot away again.

After a few flickers, the escape light disappeared without a trace on the distant horizon.

In the following days, Han Li began a journey of several years in the Tianyuan Territory, along cities of varying sizes.

His tracks appeared successively in some famous sects or families near these cities.

Han Li either visited them directly to exchange ideas with some high-level cultivators, or just observed them coldly before leaving quietly.

Although he had traveled only one or two tenths of the Tianyuan Territory, these few short years were enough for Han Li to have a better understanding of the situation in the human race.

The number of Body Integration stage cultivators in the human race was indeed far from being comparable to the Jiao Chi race, or even the Flying Spirit race.

Apart from the Body Integration stage cultivators collected by the Heavenly Abyss City and the three Emperors, there were not many Body Integration existences hiding in other families and sects.

As for Body Integration stage rogue cultivators like him, they were even rarer in the human race.

As for the demon race, it was said that there seemed to be a few more than the human race, but the number was not vastly different.

With the two races joining hands, their strength was estimated to be about the same as the medium-sized races he had seen in the Wind Origin Continent.

This was also because the region where the human and demon races were located was a relatively remote part of the Wind Origin Continent, where no stronger foreign races had appeared. Otherwise, even with the super magic array and the protection of Heavenly Abyss City, whether the two races could truly stand in the Spirit Realm to this day was a matter of debate.

After all, according to his understanding, many foreign races that were much stronger than the human and demon races had also disappeared in the long river of time.

As a result, with his status as a Body Integration stage cultivator, naturally, no danger appeared during his travels. Instead, by coincidence, he extinguished a few evil cultivators, causing his reputation to gradually spread in the Tianyuan Territory.

Many small and medium-sized sects and families also knew that there was such a Body Integration stage cultivator in the human race who looked like a young man but had unfathomable magic power.

Later on, even some major forces in the Xuanwu Territory and the Tianling Territory sent people to recruit him.

But they were all refused by Han Li one by one.

Just like this, five years passed in the blink of an eye...

On this day, on the hillside of a beautiful and lush high mountain on the border between the Xuanwu Territory and the Tianyuan Territory, three human cultivators with different attire were sitting in a stone pavilion, chatting and laughing.

One was wearing white Confucian robes, with sword-like brows and bright eyes, thirty-something years old, looking like a graceful and handsome man.

Beside him, with a round face, was wearing a yellow Daoist robe, with a black, broken wooden sword on his back, looking like a young Daoist priest of seventeen or eighteen.

The last one had an ordinary face, dark skin, and was wearing a green long robe, a young man of about twenty-three or twenty-four.

And this young man was Han Li.

At this time, Han Li curled the corners of his mouth, listening to the Daoist priest opposite him talking endlessly with a smile that was not a smile.

"It's not that I, Qi Lingzi, am bragging, but the founding ancestor of our Fog Sea Temple, the Fog Sea Sect in the lower realm, was the true number one great sect in the world, dominating the entire human world and suppressing the demons in all four directions. Ancestor Xuan Lingzi was even hailed as the number one cultivator in the world. Now I, Qi Lingzi, have inherited his mantle and am in charge of the Fog Sea Temple. If the two fellow Daoists join our temple, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. If the three of us cultivate to great success, the three of us joining hands would be more than enough to dominate one side, even if we can't make our temple the number one great sect of the human race..."

"Haha, Qi Lingzi. On this journey, you have said this to me and Brother Han at least seventeen or eighteen times. Your Fog Sea Temple, including you and the Daoist boy, has only two or three kittens, yet you dare to invite this Young Master and Brother Han to join. Even if your ancestor was truly majestic in the human world, in this Spirit Realm, he was just an ordinary Spirit Severing stage cultivator. Otherwise, how could your Fog Sea Temple have fallen into its current state?" The handsome man chuckled, and with a movement of his hand, a green paper fan suddenly appeared in his hand, which he opened with a "shua" sound and fanned leisurely.

"Pei pei, Young Master Hai, what do you know! It's not that our Fog Sea Temple's cultivation technique is no good. It's just that the Fog Sea Infinite Art left by the ancestor has special requirements for the cultivator's aptitude. When the ancestor ascended to the Spirit Realm, he happened to encounter a space storm that only occurs once in a thousand years. Although he broke free, he was seriously injured. After hastily founding the Fog Sea Temple, he passed away. Otherwise, how could our temple have been stuck in that kind of place where birds don't lay eggs." The young Daoist priest blushed and argued.

"I think it's your ancestor who had foresight. With your Fog Sea Temple's strength, if you had truly occupied some spiritual mountain or spiritual vein, whether your lineage could still exist in the Spirit Realm to this day would be a matter of debate. Brother Han, don't you think so?" The man called "Young Master Hai" closed his fan lightly and asked Han Li, shaking his head.

"Brother Hai's words naturally have some truth. However, Fellow Daoist Qi Lingzi's cultivation technique is indeed peculiar and mysterious, and it likely has special requirements for the cultivator's aptitude," Han Li said with a smile.

"Haha, look. Even Brother Han says so. This shows that our Fog Sea Temple's inheritance is indeed extraordinary. How about this, as long as you are willing to join our temple, I will immediately teach the Fog Sea Infinite Art to the two brothers." The young Daoist priest's eyes narrowed into a line upon hearing Han Li's words, and he said with a seductive tone.

Young Master Hai, hearing this, rolled his eyes and replied without a good tone:

"This Young Master practices the most authentic body-refining technique, and my talent in body-refining is outstanding. I have already practiced the Diamond Art to the third layer. You, this temple master, have only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and you might not even be able to beat this Young Master, so what can you teach? If I want to worship, I will worship those true famous sects. And Brother Han, your words were vague. What do you mean by 'have some truth'? My words just now were not wrong. The Xuan Lingzi senior back then likely built the Fog Sea Temple in that remote mountain valley to ensure the continuation of his own inheritance."

Young Master Hai said, becoming somewhat proud of himself.

Han Li's mouth twitched, and in the end, he could only smile bitterly and say nothing more.

These two were truly a pair of living treasures.

These two were people he had met near a small city a month ago.

At that time, the two had offended a local small sect and were being hunted down by several Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

This kind of thing was naturally common in the human and demon races.

Han Li was passing by in the air at the time and originally had no intention of intervening. But after a sweep of his spiritual sense, he discovered that of the two being besieged, one possessed excellent spiritual roots but was practicing a mortal body-refining technique, and at a young age, had already practiced the Diamond Art to the third layer. The other had very inferior spiritual roots, but the cultivation technique he practiced was very peculiar, able to fight several existences of the same rank with his own strength.

Joining hands, the two were barely able to hold their own against the siege of five or six Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Han Li was somewhat curious, and with a movement in his heart, he concealed his aura to the Foundation Establishment peak level and suddenly appeared.

With his divine abilities, even with Foundation Establishment stage magic power, he scared away those Foundation Establishment cultivators with a wave of his hand.

Young Master Hai and Qi Lingzi, who had been saved, were naturally extremely grateful to Han Li, and after a few words, they actually wanted to become sworn brothers with Han Li.

Han Li's expression at the time was naturally wonderful, and he hurriedly found an excuse to decline. But after the two asked, knowing that Han Li was also going to the Xuanwu Territory to participate in the Myriad Treasure Convention, they were overjoyed and enthusiastically insisted on traveling together.

It turned out that these two also intended to participate in this grand event of the human and demon races.

Han Li was speechless after hearing this.

What kind of grand event was the Myriad Treasure Convention? Even Body Integration stage cultivators of the human and demon races, and even existences like the three Emperors and seven Demon Kings, might come in person.

These two had strength only around the Foundation Establishment stage, yet they intended to cross territories to participate in this convention.

Although it was not that there were no cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage at the Myriad Treasure Convention, low-level cultivators generally appeared as attendants, maids, or disciples.

Even if there were a few Foundation Establishment cultivators who came alone, most of them lived near the region where the Myriad Treasure Convention was held, so they had the opportunity to open their eyes.

And this Young Master Hai and the young Daoist priest, one carrying a few jars of spiritual tea, the other carrying a few pieces of unknown ore, also intended to cross territories to participate in this convention.

It was truly laughable.

However, don't say, Qi Lingzi's spiritual tea was indeed of good quality, barely worthy of being called top-grade. And those ores, although clearly not valuable, were things even he couldn't name the origin of.

Han Li was truly curious about the situation of these two, and felt that since there was still some time before the Myriad Treasure Convention, there was no need to rush, so he agreed without changing his expression.

So he took out a top-grade flying car spiritual tool and brought the two directly toward the Xuanwu Territory.

On the way, what made Han Li speechless was that before he could try to find out the background of these two, the handsome man calling himself Young Master Hai and the young Daoist priest called Qi Lingzi had confessed everything while bickering.

This Young Master Hai claimed that he came from a very famous body-refining family in a mortal city. Although he possessed excellent spiritual roots, because of a mistake at birth, he was misdiagnosed by some incompetent cultivator and was tested as having no spiritual roots.

As a result, he was raised as a body-refiner since childhood. But after he revealed his astonishing body-refining talent, another coincidence revealed the existence of his spiritual roots, which naturally felt like a thunderbolt to him.

This Young Master Hai, like others, stopped his body-refining cultivation without hesitation and intended to go elsewhere to learn the art of immortal cultivation.

But the city he lived in was a mortal city, with no true immortal cultivation sects, and this Young Master Hai was somewhat arrogant, so he didn't look at ordinary small immortal cultivation sects at all.

After some "careful consideration," he secretly left his family to find a major immortal cultivation sect elsewhere.

As a result, on the way, he met the young Daoist priest from the Fog Sea Temple who intended to participate in the Myriad Treasure Convention.

After a conversation, the two hit it off and felt like they had met too late.

Under the instigation of the other party, Young Master Hai not only became sworn brothers with him but also set off together to participate in the Myriad Treasure Convention.

In Qi Lingzi's original words, at the Myriad Treasure Convention, "Spirit Severing stage cultivators walk everywhere, and Nascent Soul cultivators are not as good as dogs." Just finding a true master to worship would be a hundred times better than joining any immortal cultivation sect.
