Chapter 272: Chance Encounter

After spending a large amount of spirit stones from his pocket, Han Li even gathered most of the raw materials for the new ancient formulas.

For the insufficient parts, Han Li gritted his teeth, and after risking the sale of two four-hundred-year-old medicinal herbs, he could only participate in more missions to hunt and kill demonic path cultivators. In this way, not only could he get a considerable reward in spirit stones, but the things in the enemy's storage bags could also be exchanged for more spirit stones.

Relying on the several talisman treasures in his hand and the power of the Great Expansion Art, even if Han Li encountered a Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator, he could return safely. Similarly, if a Foundation Establishment early or mid-stage demonic path cultivator met Han Li, they would naturally have no power to fight back and would die at his hands.

Of course, a perverted guy like the Ghost Spirit Sect's Young Master, with his status, how could he participate in such actions.

As a result, over this year, Han Li had gained a bit of a small reputation among the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Seven Sects.

Everyone knew that Huang Feng Valley had a new ruthless character. He only had a Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivation base, but he had intercepted and killed over a dozen demonic path cultivators in a row and still returned safely, which could be called incredible.

Han Li used the spirit stones he had exchanged to collect the remaining raw materials on the ancient formulas. Hearing that the camps of the other sects also had similar exchanges, Han Li entrusted this Chen Fatty to keep an eye on whether there were any pill formulas, but now it seemed there was no hope.

Han Li was just about to say goodbye to the other party when a burst of fragrance suddenly hit his nose.

Han Li was slightly stunned and turned his head to look. Behind him came a cold and beautiful female cultivator.

After seeing the moving face and the plump, delicate body clearly, Han Li's expression remained unchanged on the surface, but his heart felt somewhat uneasy! It was actually Junior Martial Sister Chen, with whom he had had intimate contact. Thinking of the fiery and fragrant situation that night, a strange feeling rose in his heart.

Speaking of which, he and this woman hadn't seen each other for a long time since they parted in the Forbidden Land, and he didn't know when she had also arrived here.

"Fifth Uncle, this is the thing you wanted!"

Junior Martial Sister Chen looked at Han Li indifferently, and after a flash of surprise in her eyes, she came to Chen Fatty and handed over a storage bag.

"Hehe! Niece Chen Qiaoqian, you came just in time, this place is urgently waiting for this batch of goods!" Seeing Junior Martial Sister Chen, Chen Fatty said with his fat shaking with joy.

"Fifth Uncle?"

Han Li was stunned for a long time by this form of address from Chen Fatty!

He never expected that this fatty, whom he had known for more than half a year, was actually Junior Martial Sister Chen's elder. With his Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivation, it seemed his status in the Chen family definitely wouldn't be low.

Apart from looking at Han Li once at the beginning, Junior Martial Sister Chen didn't look at Han Li's direction again. This made Han Li feel quite uncomfortable!

"Brother Chen, I will take my leave first, I will come to patronize again later!" Han Li didn't want to linger anymore. After saying polite words, he turned and walked toward the outside of the exchange.

Only then did Chen Chen Qiaoqian coldly look at Han Li's departing back, and with her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, she asked Chen Fatty, who was checking the storage bag:

"Fifth Uncle, did this coward come to buy things from you?"

"Coward?"

Chen Fatty was stunned by Chen Chen Qiaoqian's words.

"Yeah, the guy who was standing here just now!"

"You mean... Han Li?" Chen Fatty blinked his two small eyes, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"That's who I mean, is there something wrong?" Chen Chen Qiaoqian asked somewhat strangely.

During the trip to the Forbidden Land, Han Li hadn't left a good impression on this Junior Martial Sister Chen, and she had always thought Han Li was a speculative battle-avoider who had had a stroke of luck.

Chen Fatty was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed, and said in a somewhat strange tone:

"Chen Qiaoqian, you just arrived here, so there are some things you don't know. Although I don't know why you think this guy is a coward, this fellow sect member of yours has quite a reputation here! He is a ruthless character who has killed over a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators in a row, absolutely not a mediocre person. I even thought about recommending this person to the family head after this war ends. If we can win over this person, it would be no small help!"

"He killed over a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators?" Hearing this, a look of horror appeared on Chen Junior Martial Sister's cold face; she truly couldn't believe the words she heard.

She couldn't help but stare blankly toward the entrance of the exchange, but at this time, Han Li had already walked out of the house.

After walking out of the exchange, Han Li pondered for a moment, then headed toward his master Li Li Huayuan's residence, preparing to pay his respects according to convention and fulfill his duties as a disciple.

Li Li Huayuan was a Core Formation stage cultivator, so his residence naturally couldn't be compared with that of ordinary cultivators! He lived in a very comfortable house in the center of the array, and the young mistress naturally lived with him.

Speaking of which, among Han Li's seven senior martial brothers, except for the eldest senior martial brother who was still guarding the Green Wave Cave, the others all had missions and were not in this place. The only ones left here were Han Li and the Fourth Senior Martial Brother, Song Meng.

But when Han Li first came to this place and went to pay his respects to Li Li Huayuan, his Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivation gave this master a shock, and he felt greatly surprised!

After all, it had only been a few years since Han Li succeeded in Foundation Establishment at that time.

And under normal circumstances, even cultivators with excellent aptitude would have to spend more than ten years to enter the mid-stage from the early stage. Han Li's rapid progress naturally made Li Li Huayuan curious.

After he checked Han Li's body and found nothing, he inquired about the reason for his rapid cultivation growth.

Han Li naturally wouldn't reveal the truth, but instead acted as if he didn't understand himself, which made Li Li Huayuan depressed for a long time before he put the matter aside! After all, with a great enemy currently facing them, he had no mind to spend too much time researching this matter.

Regarding the Yan family's defection and Dong Dong Xuaner's entrapment by the enemy, Li Li Huayuan and Master Hongfu already knew. Apart from being extremely angry, they didn't blame Han Li too much.

After all, the opponent's strength was too strong, and it was already not easy for Han Li to escape with his own life.

Just as Han Li was thinking, he had already arrived outside Li Li Huayuan's house!

What surprised him was that his Fourth Senior Martial Brother, Song Meng, was actually standing outside the house with his arms crossed, looking extremely energetic, as if he were standing guard.

Song Meng saw Han Li, a smile appeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice:

"Junior Martial Brother Han, here to pay respects to Master again!"

Han Li smiled and said "En".

Speaking of which, ever since Han Li became famous, this Senior Martial Brother Song had forced Han Li to compare notes in a place where no one was around. Although he was narrowly defeated by Han Li's sharp magic tools, he gradually became harmonious with Han Li, and the senior and junior martial brothers began to talk and laugh with each other.

"Junior Martial Brother Han, Master is discussing matters with several guests, so wait outside for a while! Speaking of which, my cultivation technique has made some progress recently, why don't we compare notes in a while!" Song Meng smiled and explained to Han Li, but then proposed an invitation that made Han Li feel a headache.

Speaking of which, ever since this Senior Martial Brother Song was defeated by him, he would almost ask Han Li to spar with him every once in a while. However, how could Han Li be willing to leak his own background at will? Naturally, he insisted on refusing.

If they were in Huang Feng Valley, this Senior Martial Brother Song would definitely not be so easy to dismiss! But fortunately, there were many powerful cultivators in this place, and there were plenty of opponents. Seeing that he had pestered him several times to no avail, Song Meng couldn't hold his temper and went to find others.

This finally made Han Li breathe a sigh of relief!

Therefore, hearing the other party's last sentence now, Han Li smiled bitterly and didn't dare to take the conversation lightly!

However, Han Li was interested in the guests who were with Li Li Huayuan.

After all, to be able to use the word "discuss" by Song Meng, it meant that the people inside were most likely Core Formation stage cultivators as well. Therefore, he was just about to probe Song Meng when the tightly closed door suddenly opened, and several male and female cultivators walked out from inside.

And Li Li Huayuan and his wife followed closely behind, arching their hands to see them off.

Sure enough, they were all Core Formation stage cultivators! Han Li saw clearly that there were four men and three women, all of whom had unfathomable cultivation bases!

He and Song Meng didn't dare to block the way and hurriedly split to the left and right, standing on both sides with their hands bound!

Li Li Huayuan saw Han Li at a glance, but only smiled slightly and didn't care. The other cultivators naturally saw Han Li too, but most of them just swept a glance and passed by; after all, a Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator was really nothing for them to pay attention to.

However, a female cultivator with a perfect, slender figure and a veil covering her face suddenly shuddered after sweeping a glance at Han Li, and actually stopped her footsteps. At the same time, a pair of bright autumn eyes flashed with a strange, indistinguishable look.

"Has Fairy Nangong met my inferior disciple before?"

After the other cultivators discovered the strangeness of this female cultivator, they couldn't help but look at her with a hint of surprise, and Li Li Huayuan asked with great confusion.

The words "Fairy Nangong" entered Han Li's ears, making his heart thump, as if he had overturned a five-flavor bottle; he felt all sorts of tastes.

Although he barely controlled his expression, he couldn't help but look at this female cultivator.
