Chapter 377: Going Out to Sea (Part 1)
Half a moment later, Han Li woke up from his deep thought, seemingly having some ideas in his heart.
But his expression didn't change, and he continued to turn around in the shops selling cultivation technique classics.
This time, there was no unexpected surprise for Han Li. Because the various cultivation techniques and Five Elements magic spells sold in the shop were very familiar to him, and there was no difference from those in Tiannan.
If there was any difference, it was that there seemed to be more Dao books on water-type magic spells, and there were indeed a few new magic spells that Han Li had never heard of.
Han Li bought the Dao books related to the new magic spells and a "Pill Dao Evaluation" that he had accidentally flipped to.
The reason he bought this book was that there was a description and commentary by a high-level expert about the "Dust-Descending Pill" in this evaluation.
Han Li planned to buy it back and study it carefully, and then decide whether to agree to the Six Paths Hall's request for the sake of this pill.
Next, Han Li had no interest in buying other things and left Heaven Capital Street with Qu Hun, walking toward the outside of the city.
Not long after leaving Kuixing City, Han Li and Qu Hun flew into the sky using their magic tools and galloped toward the Gu Family Manor.
Half a day later, Han Li saw the earthen wall of the somewhat familiar Gu Family Manor from afar.
But Han Li didn't mean to fly straight into the Gu Family Manor, but instead, with a move in his heart, he landed on a small hill nearby to take a look at the small wooden house he had built with his own hands that day.
The small wooden house still stood in its original place, but it was much older than when Han Li left, and even some places were somewhat rotten and blackened.
Han Li watched for a while, sighed lightly, then pushed open the wooden door and walked in.
"Eh!" Han Li was somewhat surprised.
Inside, it wasn't full of dust and the smell of rot as he had imagined, but was cleaned spotlessly, and the table, chairs, and wooden bed were all spotless. There was even a pot of unknown blue flowers placed on the wooden table.
Han Li stood in the room for a while, then laughed dumbly.
"It seems the Gu family has truly put a lot of thought into it!" Han Li touched his nose and muttered to himself somewhat.
Then, Han Li left the wooden house without lingering, let Qu Hun continue to wait outside the mountain, and walked slowly toward the Gu Family Manor.
Han Li didn't mean to break into the Gu family using his magic tool. Although the restriction outside the Gu family didn't count for much to him now, after all, the Master of the Gu Manor could be considered his old acquaintance, so he naturally had to be more polite.
When Han Li walked to the main gate of the Gu family, two sturdy-looking guards naturally noticed him, and one of them asked somewhat suspiciously:
"Who are you, and what business do you have coming to our Gu Family Manor?"
"Tell your Manor Master that an old acquaintance surnamed Han has come." Han Li smiled and said softly.
"My Manor Master doesn't see outsiders. Eh! Surnamed Han?... Could it be that you are Immortal Master Han?" The guard first refused, but after looking Han Li up and down, he suddenly asked with a look of suspicion.
"You know me?" Han Li frowned slightly.
"It really is Immortal Master Han! Immortal Master, please wait a moment; this humble one will report to the Manor Master immediately!" The guard ran toward the manor without saying a word.
Han Li remained expressionless, looking into the manor, and said nothing.
Not long after, a large group of people walked out of the manor.
The old man leading them saw Han Li and shouted with a full face of smiles:
"Immortal Master Han, you have finally come! I have waited for you for many years."
Then the old man hurriedly stepped forward to greet Han Li, and the others behind him also bowed respectfully one after another.
Han Li looked at the somewhat familiar face of the old man; it was none other than the Master of the Gu Manor. Only at this time, his hair was gray, and he had a look of old age.
"Mr. Gu, have you been well?" Han Li said with a slightly relaxed expression.
Under the respectful reception of the Master of the Gu Manor, Han Li entered the giant mansion in the center of the Gu Family Manor.
As soon as he entered the room, the Master of the Gu Manor didn't wait for Han Li to speak, but took the initiative to call someone to bring a large bag of spirit stones and hand them to Han Li, and enthusiastically introduced some young Gu family disciples to Han Li, especially his eldest son, a young man in his thirties named Gu Kai, whom he introduced specifically.
Seeing this scene, how could Han Li not know the intention of this Master of the Gu Manor? He probably knew that his lifespan was not long, and wanted this Immortal Master to help the Gu family a little in the future.
Han Li smiled indifferently, and looking at the bit of friendship from back then, he vaguely agreed with a sentence.
The Master of the Gu Manor was overjoyed and immediately proposed to hold a banquet to entertain Han Li, but was politely refused by Han Li.
Next, he chatted with the Master of the Gu Manor for a few more words and then left the Gu Family Manor freely.
After coming out, Han Li greeted Qu Hun on the hill and flew toward a nearby small town.
In the town, Han Li found an inn to stay in, studied the "Pill Dao Evaluation" all night, and didn't sleep all night.
By the next day, Han Li finally had a rough understanding of the various pills in the Chaotic Star Sea, and had read the Dust-Descending Pill countless times.
According to this book, the refining of the Dust-Descending Pill not only required several rare demon cores but also many other rare spiritual herbs to be refined, which could absolutely be called extremely precious.
And this pill truly had the miraculous effect of increasing Core Formation, although it was said that the probability of increase was not much, and only one pill could be taken during Core Formation, it had already made countless cultivators facing Core Formation regard it as a treasure.
Because during Core Formation, even if it only increased the probability by one percent, it was something that Core Formation cultivators would beg for!
But having said that, Han Li also understood in his heart. Since the Six Paths Hall was willing to use such precious pills as a reward, the matter was definitely not as relaxed as the other party said, just presiding over a formation.
If he went, the danger would definitely not be small, and God knows what kind of tricky things he would encounter.
But Han Li truly longed for this "Dust-Descending Pill." After all, both he and Qu Hun were facing Core Formation.
He wouldn't even mention himself; he didn't count on succeeding this time. But Qu Hun's Sha Dan was said to have a one-third chance of Core Formation, but the possibility of failure still occupied the majority. He truly couldn't rest assured, so this "Dust-Descending Pill" must be obtained!
After Han Li pondered for most of the day in the inn, he finally decided to take the risk.
After all, he and Qu Hun were two Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivators; even if there were any dangers, protecting themselves shouldn't be a problem.
And he saw that the Six Paths Hall seemed to have a huge influence. If he could climb up to them from now on, it should be of great use for him to gain a foothold in this Chaotic Star Sea in the future.
However, before that, he had to inquire from other cultivators about the reputation of the Six Paths Hall.
Don't let the other party turn hostile and heartless as soon as the matter is finished; that loss would be too great!
After making up his mind, Han Li immediately brought Qu Hun and flew toward "Kuixing City" using his magic tool.
Half a month later, a huge sea ship sailed into the harbor of Kuixing Island, and white and blue rays of light galloped from afar, shooting into the sea ship without hesitation.
After the light converged, three people appeared on the bow of the ship: a sturdy man with a tall figure and ugly appearance, a middle-aged man with an ancient appearance, and a young man with an ordinary appearance.
"Welcome two Immortal Masters to this ship; this humble one is the captain of this ship, Luo Zheng. Other Immortal Masters are already on the ship, so I will take you to the location where the demonic beast appears." A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked out of the cabin and said respectfully to the sturdy man and the young man.
The Immortal Masters he spoke of were naturally Han Li and Qu Hun. And the middle-aged man who accompanied the two was the shopkeeper of the White Water Tower, Cao Lu.
"Fellow Daoist Qu, take care! This humble one has business, so I will go back first." Cao Lu exchanged polite words with Qu Hun and flew away using his magic tool again.
"Two Immortal Masters, please come in; the rooms for you two have already been cleaned up. The ship will leave the harbor immediately." The man with thick eyebrows said while bowing his head.
And Han Li looked at the cabin, walked in with Qu Hun without saying a word, and the person who called himself Luo Zheng followed them in.
At the same time, the huge ship body moved again slowly.
As soon as he entered, everything in front of him made Han Li slightly stunned!
What entered his eyes was not the narrow passage Han Li had imagined, but a luxurious hall more than ten zhang long and wide.
The floor of the hall was covered with red silk carpets, and in the middle was a long sandalwood table inlaid with gold and silver, with more than a dozen chairs around it. Several people were talking around the table, and as soon as they saw Han Li and Qu Hun enter, several sharp gazes swept over directly.
But they only swept over Han Li and focused all their attention on Qu Hun.
"This humble one is Qu Hun, and this is my nephew-disciple Han Li! How should I address you few Fellow Daoists?" Qu Hun flashed his figure, blocked in front of Han Li, and said with an expressionless face.
