Chapter 351

Han Li did not immediately agree or refuse, instead furrowing his brows and remaining silent, seemingly considering the pros and cons. 【Web】

To tell the truth, Han Li was unwilling to agree to this matter.

Because array formation and artifact refining techniques were like chicken ribs to him now. Unless he succeeded in Core Formation, he simply didn't have the time to study these. Moreover, he was unwilling to provoke a powerful cultivation family for no reason, let alone not having the ability to do so.

"I know this request is very excessive for Senior Han, but Xin Ruyin really has no other way." Xin Xin Ruyin smiled miserably, her face turning pale.

"The reason Brother Qi died at the hands of the Fu family was all because of the trouble I caused. If I don't avenge my husband in this life, I will have no face to see him in the underworld after I die!" Xin Xin Ruyin murmured in a low voice, her words full of pleading.

Hearing this woman mention the word "die," Han Li couldn't help but raise his brows. Suddenly remembering something, he abruptly raised his head and stared closely at Xin Xin Ruyin's face. This made Xin Xin Ruyin pause.

"Your complexion is not right. Let me take your pulse!"

Han Li said something that greatly surprised Xin Xin Ruyin, but his voice was full of an unquestionable tone.

A flash of strange light crossed Xin Xin Ruyin's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she still obediently handed a jade wrist to Han Li.

Han Li did not stand on ceremony, placing two fingers on it, and then injected a wisp of spiritual energy into her body.

After a long while, Han Li's expression became somewhat ugly.

"Do you know that all your meridians have withered! If this continues, you will lose your life within two years!" After withdrawing his finger, Han Li said coldly.

Hearing Han Li's verdict, Xin Xin Ruyin smiled instead.

"Of course I know. Don't I know my own body? My constitution is the Dragon Chant Constitution. Being a male constitution born in a female body, if I force myself to cultivate, my lifespan and meridians will gradually misalign and wither. Being able to live until today is already a stroke of luck. I spent all my efforts to find an ancient prescription, thinking I could cure this, but I still failed. It was a waste of the many spiritual medicines Brother Qi sought for me!"

A look of self-mockery appeared on Xin Xin Ruyin's face!

"Miss!" The maid behind Xin Xin Ruyin couldn't help but cry out in sadness.

"It's okay, Xiao Mei! I can see Brother Qi sooner below; that's what I'm hoping for!" Xin Xin Ruyin instead comforted the maid behind her with a normal expression.

Seeing this scene, Han Li's expression softened, and for some reason, he felt a genuine sense of pity for her.

But unfortunately, he was equally helpless against this strange illness of Xin Xin Ruyin's and could only watch as she withered away.

"Since Senior Han knows this, you should understand why Xin Ruyin did this. Although Senior is only a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator now, you are indeed the only person Brother Qi and I know who might help us avenge this grudge. I don't need Senior to make any vows, just a promise, so that I can leave in peace." Xin Xin Ruyin's expression returned to normal, and she brought up the matter of revenge again as if nothing had happened.

Han Li rubbed his nose hard with one hand, feeling very conflicted, but after thinking about it, he suddenly asked:

"Fellow Daoist Qi is also from a cultivation family, right! Is it hard to believe the Qi family wouldn't help him get revenge?"

"The Qi family? Hmph, they are just an ordinary family in the Yuanwu Kingdom. How would they dare to offend the Fu family? Moreover, Brother Qi was an outer-branch disciple expelled by the Qi family, so they would care even less about this matter! As for what I have learned, it all comes from a nameless array formation master among rogue cultivators, but this extraordinary person also passed away long ago." Xin Xin Ruyin seemed to understand what Han Li meant and softly explained the backgrounds of Qi Qi Yunxiao and herself.

Hearing this, Han Li remained silent in his heart. It seemed he really was this woman's only choice!

"Okay, I can give Miss Xin a promise! But I will only take action when I have sufficient ability. This opportunity might never come in a lifetime. Do you regret it?" After thinking for a long time, Han Li took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"That's enough! As long as you can give me hope, that's fine. This concubine thanks Senior Han first!" Hearing Han Li agree, Xin Xin Ruyin couldn't help but smile, and suddenly her whole person appeared extremely charming.

Han Li was stunned by the other party's beauty, but then shook his head. Without standing on ceremony, he brushed his sleeve across the table, and the two boxes immediately vanished without a trace, having been collected into his storage bag.

"Since it will take a month to restore the teleportation array, I will come to disturb Miss Xin again in a month. I will take my leave now!" Han Li stood up and said unhurriedly.

Taking advantage of this time gap, he really had some things to deal with.

"This concubine respectfully sees Senior off!" Xin Xin Ruyin did not try to keep him and said respectfully.

Thus, Han Li took Qu Hun and flew out from the small mountain on his magic tool, this time speeding toward the Heavenly Star Sect's marketplace.

A day later, Han Li appeared near the marketplace and casually found a cloak from his storage bag to cover his face, only then entering the marketplace swaggeringly with Qu Hun.

Walking on the streets of the marketplace, Han Li looked at the numerous cultivators coming and going and was extremely surprised in his heart.

The number of cultivators coming to buy and sell in the marketplace was at least several times more than what he had seen last time he was here, and everyone looked hurried. There were also many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators rarely seen in the marketplace.

Han Li thought about it back and forth in his heart, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, and then he threw the matter to the back of his mind, heading straight for the shop that had helped him refine magic tools last time. He had some materials on him that needed to be refined into usable magic tools to increase his own strength.

That artifact refining shop was still in its original place, and even that sign with the rather bold tone was still standing there exactly the same.

Han Li smiled slightly and pushed the door open to walk in.

The situation inside the shop made Han Li furrow his brows slightly.

Inside the small shop, there were actually five or six people standing or sitting. When these people saw Han Li enter, they couldn't help but glance at him.

Seeing this, Han Li coldly scanned them without ceremony. Those who sensed Han Li's Foundation Establishment stage cultivation immediately lowered their heads. These people were all Qi Condensation stage cultivators and naturally didn't dare to offend this "Senior" Han Li.

But a fierce-looking man sitting in a chair stared straight at Han Li without any fear.

He was also a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. Although he was only at the early stage, he was unwilling to lose face.

Han Li ignored these people and walked up to the shop assistant, a burly man named "Big Black," who was talking to two of them.

"Is Shopkeeper Xu in?" Han Li asked calmly.

"Senior is..." The burly man looked suspicious.

Sighing lightly, Han Li took out the pair of Black Dragon Hooks and flashed them before his eyes. When these magic tools were refined, this person had also helped out on the side; it was impossible for him not to recognize this item.

"So it's Senior. I will call my master out right away."

The burly man's eyes lit up. He indeed recognized the Black Dragon Hooks and immediately said with a face full of smiles, then excused himself and hurried toward the backyard.

Seeing that Han Li was actually an acquaintance of the shop owner, the others couldn't help but look at each other in astonishment, but no one dared to step forward and disturb Han Li tactlessly.

Before long, the white-haired Shopkeeper Xu came out from the back with a joyful face.

Last time, Han Li had left him quite a few rare materials! Naturally, Han Li was highly welcomed by this old man.

"Senior has come to our shop again. This is truly the honor of this old man! Is Senior planning to refine artifacts again?" Shopkeeper Xu exchanged a few pleasantries and asked impatiently, his face full of anticipation.

Han Li smiled faintly and deliberately looked at the other cultivators around.

This Shopkeeper Xu immediately understood Han Li's intention, immediately calling himself "foolish" and inviting Han Li to the backyard to talk, taking the lead and walking away excitedly.

Seeing this scene, others didn't dare to say anything, but the fierce-looking man snorted in dissatisfaction.

He was also looking to refine artifacts in this shop, but as a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, why was the attitude toward Han Li so different from his? This made him very angry.

Hearing the man's snort, Han Li looked at him with cold eyes.

One must know that the number of cultivators who had died at Han Li's hands was quite large, and he had unknowingly acquired a murderous aura that ordinary cultivators didn't have. This glance immediately made the man feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body turning cold, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

Seeing the man's face change, Han Li ignored him and took Qu Hun into the shop's backyard.

At this moment, Big Black very cleverly stepped forward to apologize to the others and found an excuse to explain things to appease the dissatisfaction of the other customers.

"Senior, did you bring your own materials again?" As soon as he saw Han Li and Qu Hun walk into the backyard, Shopkeeper Xu looked at Qu Hun with slight surprise and asked Han Li anxiously.
