Chapter 275: Taking Action

"A close friend? Could it be the person you were searching for spiritual herbs to save?" Han Li asked seemingly casually, but he was secretly happy in his heart. He had been worrying about how to lead the topic to that array master, and seeing such a good opportunity, he naturally wouldn't let it slip.

Qi Qi Yunxiao was stunned for a moment when he heard Han Li ask this, and he hesitated somewhat.

But then he remembered something and nodded as if he had made up his mind, saying:

"Senior is right, this spiritual tea was indeed made by that close friend of mine. Speaking of which, this is all thanks to the thousand-year spiritual herb senior provided as a medicinal primer, which saved her life. However, although her life is no longer in danger, her injuries still haven't healed after a long time. So... so the junior wants to ask senior if you still have any aged spiritual herbs? Even if there are no thousand-year spiritual herbs, seven or eight-hundred-year-old ones would give my friend a great hope of recovery. I am also willing to exchange various array flags for spiritual herbs."

After saying this, Qi Qi Yunxiao was full of anticipation, staring at Han Li with all his attention.

Hearing Qi Qi Yunxiao's words, Han Li was somewhat surprised, but felt a great relief in his heart. Since the other party still had requests of him, it seemed that asking the other party to repair the teleportation array should be a matter of course.

However, he naturally had to show a difficult expression on the surface, letting the other party owe him a favor!

Thinking of this, Han Li showed a contemplative expression, and after a long while, he said very reluctantly:

"Spiritual herbs, I do indeed have a few in my hands. But these, I intended to use for refining a furnace of pills, so it's really..."

Although Han Li didn't finish his words, his hesitant expression had already told Qi Qi Yunxiao how difficult this matter was.

After all, what a furnace of top-notch pills meant to a cultivator, the other party should understand very well.

And when Qi Qi Yunxiao heard that Han Li really had spiritual herbs, he was immediately ecstatic. But after hearing the following words, he became extremely anxious, and without waiting for Han Li to finish, he immediately said in a half-begging tone:

"The junior knows that asking Senior Han to give up the spiritual herbs is a bit of a strong request, but seeing my close friend in pain all day long, I am truly heartbroken! As long as senior is willing to give up these spiritual herbs, the junior is willing to let senior choose any of the cloth-array magic tools, even if you take them all, the junior will have no complaints."

Hearing the other party say this, Han Li was greatly tempted.

Even if Qi Qi Yunxiao's other cloth-array magic tools were not as perverted as the "Inverted Five Elements Array", they were definitely rare boutique items. If he could get a few more sets, it would definitely increase his own protection significantly. Moreover, the offensive nature of some arrays was also extremely strong. If he could trap a powerful enemy in them, it would also be a sharp means of killing the enemy.

However, Han Li's main goal for this trip was to ask the other party to repair the damaged teleportation array. If he took the cloth-array magic tools, it would be difficult to bring up this matter again, otherwise, it would leave the other party with the impression of being insatiable. Han Li didn't want to fall out with these two now.

After weighing it, Han Li intended to refuse the other party's exchange and bring up the teleportation array matter instead. But at this moment, a young woman's desperate shout suddenly came from outside.

"Young Master Qi, it's bad! My young lady is in trouble! Hurry and save my young lady!"

As soon as this woman's voice entered the room, Qi Qi Yunxiao's face changed drastically.

He hurriedly stood up and walked out, not even bothering to greet Han Li, the guest. And the shopkeeper who was standing to the side also ran out in a panic.

Han Li's eyebrows moved, his expression unchanged, but he felt a bit puzzled in his heart, so he walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.

In the open space outside the house, Qi Qi Yunxiao and the shopkeeper were listening nervously to a young woman in her late teens telling them something.

This woman had fair skin and a pretty appearance. While narrating the matter, she was full of anxiety. But when she saw Han Li, a stranger walking out of the house, she was startled and immediately closed her mouth, a look of vigilance flashing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Han Li smiled indifferently and stood in place, not walking over again.

But Qi Qi Yunxiao, upon seeing Han Li, rushed to Han Li's side like he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and with an excited expression, begged:

"Senior, my close friend has been trapped somewhere by a group of cultivators with malicious intentions. Now only senior can save her. As long as senior is willing to take action, the junior will definitely reward you heavily!"

"Can Fellow Daoist Qi explain in more detail? Is the young lady in this girl's mouth the close friend of yours who is proficient in arrays?" Han Li frowned and asked slowly with some surprise.

"Exactly! The set of Inverted Five Elements Array cloth-array magic tools that senior is using was made by me and Miss Xing together!" Qi Qi Yunxiao stared at Han Li, hurriedly saying.

And that pretty woman only then discovered that with her Qi Condensation fifth layer cultivation, she couldn't see Han Li's cultivation depth at all, which made her open her small mouth in surprise, looking at Han Li with some fear.

But Han Li turned to the woman and said in a deep voice:

"Girl, please point out the path in a moment, we will leave now!"

Although Han Li knew that now was the best time to bestow a favor, he also had to understand the number and strength of the enemies; he didn't want to fail to save the person and end up getting himself trapped instead.

"... Oh! It's like this, today my young lady and I went to the nearby... " This young woman, seeing Han Li ask her, couldn't help but panic and retell the whole story.

It turned out that the young lady in this girl's mouth had run out of the top-notch tea leaves used for blending spiritual tea two days ago. She went to collect some at Biyun Mountain not far from here, according to her usual habit. But she happened to meet a group of male cultivators who were also at the Qi Condensation stage on that mountain. The master and servant saw so many cultivators appear and already felt something was wrong, so they immediately went down the mountain to return.

But who knew, one of the cultivators in this group had seen this woman set up arrays for a small family before and recognized her identity as an array master. Immediately, this person told his companions, and as a result, this group of people immediately had evil intentions, preparing to capture the woman alive and force her to teach them array techniques.

However, this young lady was also quite clever. Before the other party could make a move, she took the servant girl beside her and fled the mountain one step ahead, returning along the original path. But when they escaped halfway, she discovered that these people were still chasing relentlessly, and the distance was getting closer and closer. If this continued, they would definitely be caught alive.

So, having no other choice, she had to use a set of array flags she carried with her, hurriedly setting up a simple array in a forest to protect herself first. Then she let the servant girl leave one step ahead of the enemy to come here and seek help from Qi Qi Yunxiao.

Han Li listened to the other party's narration while pondering silently.

Listening to what this woman said, the enemies were only seven or eight Qi Condensation cultivators. It seemed there was nothing to worry about, so he definitely had to help with this favor.

Thinking of this, Han Li nodded and said:

"Girl, please point out the path in a moment, we will leave now!"

After saying this, Han Li flicked his sleeves, and a small white boat appeared before his eyes, growing from small to large.

"Everyone get on! Saving people is like fighting a fire. Although this magic tool is a bit small, it flies extremely fast, and carrying four or five people is not a problem." After his body swayed and he stood at the front of the small boat, he turned back and said to the others.

Qi Qi Yunxiao and the young woman suddenly realized and jumped onto the small boat together. When the shopkeeper also wanted to get on, Qi Qi Yunxiao stopped him and said:

"Uncle Lin, your cultivation is too low! If you go, I am afraid there will be some danger, so you better stay here! We will rush back as soon as we save the person!"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper looked hesitant. But knowing that Qi Qi Yunxiao was indeed doing it for his own good, he had no choice but to stay behind somewhat unwillingly.

Thus, Han Li and the others steered the small boat, turning into a white light and disappearing at the end of the horizon.

The Spirit Wind Boat flew rapidly toward the south under Han Li's full control. Its speed was so fast that it made the two of them tongue-tied, and in no time at all, they flew to the sky above the forest where they were trapped.

At this time, on one side outside the forest, those seven or eight people had not yet left, and were commanding various magic tools to attack fiercely. It looked like the thin layer of cyan light covering the forest had been weakened to the point of being precarious.

Seeing this, Qi Qi Yunxiao's eyes turned red and he was about to jump down immediately, but was grabbed by Han Li, who said indifferently:

"Don't be anxious! Looking at the magic tools these people are using, they are all quite good, and they should all be people from some cultivation family. Since they already know that this girl is an array master, I am afraid that even if we repel them this time, they will continue to pester her in the future. Why don't I help you clear them out once and for all!"

Qi Qi Yunxiao heard that these people would continue to pester her in the future, and in his anger, he couldn't help but nod.

Seeing this, Han Li smiled, then looked at the few cultivators below who were still unaware, and cold light flashed in his eyes.

He suddenly raised both hands at the same time, and immediately two streaks of black light and six streaks of golden light left his hands, arriving in front of these people in the blink of an eye. Then, in the terrified eyes of these cultivators, they circled lightly around them, and they fell to the ground one after another without even activating their protective shields, actually being killed by Han Li instantly.

Qi Qi Yunxiao and the servant girl looked at this scene in horror. Although they knew that Qi Condensation cultivators were definitely not the opponents of Foundation Establishment cultivators, they never expected Han Li to kill them so easily. One had to know that among these people, the one with the highest cultivation was already at the eleventh or twelfth layer of the basic cultivation technique. And Qi Qi Yunxiao himself was only at the ninth layer.

Han Li didn't pay attention to the awe-struck expressions of the two and flew down while controlling the magic tool.

Before the Spirit Wind Boat had completely landed, Qi Qi Yunxiao jumped out impatiently first, and hurriedly rushed into the forest, shouting nervously:

"Yin'er, are you okay! The enemies have all been wiped out, you can come out!"
