Chapter 41: Leaving a Note and Going Out at Night

Han Li didn't have such a long time to wait. At most, in four or five months, Doctor Mo would have a showdown with him. He must possess a certain ability to protect himself before then.

So he finally decided to only practice a few of the simple and easy-to-master secret techniques among them, and put the others aside for now. After he truly escaped from the tiger's mouth this time, it wouldn't be too late to practice them.

In this way, the cultivation time was greatly shortened, allowing him to master a few quick-to-learn secret techniques as soon as possible.

In fact, Han Li also knew very well in his heart that even if he mastered all these secret techniques, he might not necessarily be the other's opponent.

If Doctor Mo hadn't lied last time, with his illustrious status as a former overlord, he didn't know how many fierce and vicious methods he hadn't revealed in the last conflict. The skills the other showed were probably only a small fraction of his true strength.

Even so, when Han Li thought of that ghostly skill, he still felt a chill in his heart, and he was extremely wary of Doctor Mo.

He knew clearly that the things he had learned in a short time were limited, and the threat he could pose to Doctor Mo was very small, almost negligible. But Han Li would never do the foolish thing of surrendering without a fight and letting others manipulate him.

Han Li knew that if he were to fight with the other again, the only chance of victory would be the other's contempt for him. Only when the other was careless and negligent toward him, and then he struck unexpectedly, would it be possible to obtain a glimmer of survival.

In the following days, Han Li memorized all the Blinking Sword Manuals and selected several secret techniques useful to him at the moment, starting to research them, wanting to figure out a quick cultivation path.

After a few days of racking his brains, a complete set of cultivation methods was sorted out by him from the books. In such a short time, to be able to complete such cumbersome work, he was also very proud of his high efficiency.

In the following half a month, Han Li handled some trivial matters one by one, making himself fully prepared without leaving any worries behind.

First, he returned the original secret manuals to Li Feiyu on a certain day without any changes, and took the opportunity to tell the other about the process of encountering the Wild Wolf Gang spies. Of course, he also told him about identifying the identity of the kitchen manager.

After Li Feiyu heard this, he was indeed surprised and happy, hugged his shoulder, and called him "good brother" repeatedly. He was truly moved that Han Li had given him such a great merit for nothing.

However, he didn't know that Han Li was busy with his own small life right now, so he had no mind to catch spies. Being able to do a favor without having to spend his own effort, why wouldn't he be happy to do so!

After finishing the matter with Li Feiyu, Han Li personally went to find several blacksmith masters in the sect who had good craftsmanship.

There, he ordered several short swords with different styles and required them to secretly make some small changes to them. In addition, there were some nameless parts whose purpose couldn't be said, and several small, exquisite iron bells, which were also required to be forged as quickly as possible. For this, Han Li spent a considerable amount of silver, which made him feel a bit of heartache.

A few days later, Han Li received the items he had ordered from the blacksmith. Seeing the bright short swords and the small, exquisite iron bells, he was very satisfied and praised the blacksmith's craftsmanship repeatedly, feeling that his silver hadn't been spent in vain.

On that day, Han Li disappeared from his residence without a trace, leaving only a note on the head of his bed, which read:

"Doctor Mo, you don't have to be anxious. I'm not running away to hide, I just feel that being in the same valley as you is too oppressive and not conducive to the cultivation of the Everlasting Spring Technique. For this reason, the disciple has decided to find another quiet place on the mountain to go into seclusion and practice. You can rest assured that on the same day four months later, I will return on time to meet you."

Han Li bows.

Leaning against the armchair, Doctor Mo held the note in his left hand, reading it carefully, his face covered in dark clouds. On the table beside him, there was another note, which recorded the order list Han Li had given to the blacksmith not long ago.

At this time, in the room, apart from the "thump, thump" sound of Doctor Mo tapping the table with his right finger, there was no other sound.

Suddenly, he gave a cold snort, and the paper in his hand turned into fragments, scattering all over the floor.

He paced around the room restlessly, pondering something with a frown. After walking a few laps, he stopped his steps and spoke to himself:

"Little brat, although I don't know what kind of trick you're playing, no matter what kind of tricks you want to play, you can't escape from my palm. I've decided on you, this person."

After saying this, Doctor Mo turned around abruptly, walked to the window, and a low, long whistle sounded in his mouth. Immediately, a nameless bird with yellow feathers flew in from outside the window, circled a few times in the room, and landed on his shoulder.

As soon as this little bird stood firm, it affectionately rubbed against his face with its beak and made a crisp "coo-coo" sound.

"Alright, I know you're hungry. Here, this is your favorite 'Yellow Chestnut Pill'."

As soon as Doctor Mo saw this bird, a few smiles appeared on his gloomy face, revealing a doting gaze. He took out a grain of yellow bird food from his pocket and stuffed it into the little bird's mouth.

"Go, just like before, follow that person well. As soon as he leaves this mountain range, fly back and tell me immediately." Doctor Mo instructed as if talking to a person.

As soon as the little bird ate the food, it flew excitedly in the room with a "coo-coo" sound. After hearing his words, it circled once, flew out of the window, and disappeared into the sky.

"Hmph! With the surveillance of the 'Cloud Wing Bird,' which is said to fly faster than an arrow shot from a strong bow, let's see what kind of tricks you can play." He said to himself gloomily.

"Four months? I'm waiting for the arrival of this day. It looks like the plan is about to succeed! Now, whoever dares to stand in front of me and hinder the implementation of the plan, I will kill him. If God blocks, I kill God; if Buddha blocks, I kill Buddha."

"Haha! Haha!" Doctor Mo suddenly laughed wildly, his eyes full of madness.
