Chapter 415: Earth Mountain

Hearing the other party's words, Han Li did not agree immediately, but frowned inadvertently, thought for a while, and then said:

"Brother Jin, let me consider this matter for a while, shall I? In two days, I will give you an answer."

"Fine! Fellow Daoist Han, please consider it carefully. If it really doesn't work, I will go find someone else to try and see if there are any other rogue cultivators who understand formation methods." Jin Qing said very understandingly.

Then he chatted with Han Li for a few more sentences, cupped his hands, and took his leave.

Han Li looked at Jin Qing's departing figure, standing in place for a long time without moving, but his face revealed a look of contemplation.

Speaking of ancient cultivator ruins, quite a few have indeed been discovered in the Chaotic Star Sea.

But inside, it could be completely empty, or one might discover ancient cultivator cultivation insights, some rare materials that are now extinct, or magic treasures and the like.

Generally speaking, most ruins have some gains, whether good or bad, which depends on the luck of the person who discovered them.

However, according to Han Li's own intentions, he really didn't want to go out looking for any ancient cultivator ruins.

Because the Chaotic Star Sea is currently undercurrents, and it is not very peaceful outside Heavenly Star City, and his "Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords" haven't been cultivated for long, so they don't have much power.

As such, letting him go out now makes him a bit hesitant!

If it were someone else, Han Li would have refused long ago. But this Brother Jin has a pretty good relationship with him, and he gave some pointers on cultivation when Han Li first reached the Core Formation stage, and this is the first time he has opened his mouth to ask for help, so it's hard to refuse him outright.

After pondering in place for a while, Han Li still raised his head and sighed lightly.

"Anyway, there are still two days left, so I should consider this matter more."

Thinking this, Han Li shook his head, moved his steps, and drifted back into the mansion.

Two days later, Jin Qing indeed came to the cave dwelling again, and Han Li finally agreed to go out with him.

On one hand, it was to repay the other party's favor, and on the other hand, he was indeed interested in the ancient cultivator ruins; who knew what good things would be discovered inside!

Jin Qing was naturally overjoyed, and the next day, he, Han Li, and Qu Hun left Heavenly Star City together and headed toward the ancient cultivator ruins.

As for Qu Hun being Han Li's incarnation, the cultivators nearby had guessed it through their contact with Han Li over the years, and Jin Qing naturally had no objections.

Two months later, Han Li, Jin Qing, and others were flying at high speed over a remote sea area of the Chaotic Star Sea.

According to what Jin Qing said, after flying for such a long time, they should be arriving soon.

Sure enough, after flying for half a day, they finally saw a large island.

This island was extremely large, with a radius of over a thousand miles. But the island was mostly hills and earth slopes, and looking at it, it was all gray and yellow.

"Is this the island?" Han Li looked down from above the island, asking Jin Qing on the side with some surprise.

"That's right. According to the map, I found this island. I asked the nearby mortals. This island is a genuine deserted island. Not only is there no spiritual vein nearby, but for some reason, ordinary trees cannot survive on the island either." Jin Qing said with some confusion.

Han Li was also slightly stunned, but after pondering for a moment, he smiled and said:

"The more unusual this island is, the more it shows that there might truly be ancient cultivator ruins here, which should be considered good news."

"Hehe! We thought the same back then, so we searched the whole island and found the place that was most likely." Jin Qing said with some pride.

Han Li smiled faintly, looked around, and asked casually.

"However, where is the place you said was shrouded by a formation?"

"Flying another hundred miles to the west, there is a huge earth mountain. There is a slope there sealed by a large formation." Jin Qing said without hesitation.

"Then let's go there! Perhaps your fellow daoist has already arrived and broken the formation?" Han Li said with a smile.

"Hehe! If that's the case, that would be fine! At most, let them take a few more things." Jin Qing touched his chin, revealing a cunning expression.

Han Li saw this expression for the first time and couldn't help but laugh.

The two of them were just talking.

Because everyone knew that a large formation set up by an ancient cultivator wouldn't be so easy to break without a month or two of exploration.

"Let's go, Fellow Daoist Han! Don't let others wait too long." Jin Qing greeted Han Li and took the lead, turning into a blue and white rainbow and flying away.

Han Li smiled faintly, and together with Qu Hun, drove his magic treasure to chase after him.

A hundred miles was almost reached in an instant for Core Formation cultivators.

A huge earth mountain that looked indeed very tall appeared in Han Li's eyes.

This mountain was about a thousand zhang tall, entirely earth-yellow, without a trace of green, giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling, as if it were entirely piled up with yellow earth.

Just as Han Li and the others flew near the mountain, a strong wind suddenly blew, and sand and stones flew.

The boundless strong wind blew up a layer of yellow earth from the ground, making the vicinity immediately dark, unable to see one's fingers.

Han Li and the others were naturally not afraid of this bit of wind and sand. Light flashed on their bodies, and protective spiritual light appeared, covering them inside, and they still flew forward steadily.

These wind and sand disappeared inexplicably after they flew out for more than ten miles, and they had already arrived at the foot of the earth mountain.

Jin Qing took Han Li and flew around the earth mountain for half a circle, and stopped in front of a few stone houses.

These stone houses were extremely simple, and it was clear at a glance that they were pointed out by the petrification technique, all of them being a uniform gray-white color.

Before Jin Qing and the others could land, the stone door of one of the stone houses pushed open on its own, and three cultivators, two men and one woman, walked out one after another.

The men were both Core Formation cultivators, while the woman only had Foundation Establishment cultivation.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, you've arrived too! This is truly a coincidence; we also just arrived not long ago!" One of the male cultivators, a gentle and elegant young man in white, greeted Jin Qing enthusiastically as soon as he saw him, appearing quite hospitable.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, it is only right that you arrived early. Unlike Jin, I had to return to Heavenly Star City to find Fellow Daoist Han." Jin Qing seemed to get along quite well with this person and said very harmoniously.

"Fellow Daoist Han?" The young cultivator immediately scanned Han Li and Qu Hun several times, clearly not knowing which one he was talking about.

"I am Han Li, and this is my senior brother, Qu Hun!" Han Li cupped his hands slightly and said with a smile.

On the way here, Han Li had already agreed with Jin Qing that it was best not to expose Qu Hun's true identity.

And Han Li discovered that this young cultivator looked young, with skin that was lustrous and elastic. But there were some fine wrinkles on the corners of his eyes, so it seemed he was only good at maintenance, and his actual age should not be small.

This young cultivator should be the fellow daoist Jin Qing mentioned who discovered the two pearls together.

"I am Hu Yue. Although this is the first time the two of us have met, I hope we can exchange more insights on cultivation in the future. After all, there are too few rogue cultivators who can reach the Core Formation stage. In addition, I will introduce these two fellow daoists to the two of you."

Hu Yue was clearly very good at socializing, and in just a few sentences, he gave Han Li a pretty good impression. Then, he began to introduce the man and woman to Han Li and the others.

"This is Fairy Shi Die and Brother Brother Jian. Fairy Shi is a famous formation expert on Red Moon Island. I believe that if she joins forces with Fellow Daoist Han, she will definitely be able to break this formation. And Brother Brother Jian is already a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, so he will definitely be able to contribute a lot during the formation-breaking process." Hu Yue introduced them one by one with a smile.

"I'll say this first: I am only responsible for helping you break the formation. If there is any danger behind the formation, a female cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage like me will not make a move. Furthermore, I must pick one item first from whatever we obtain this time!"

This female cultivator named Shi Die had an average appearance, but her expression was arrogant, and her opening words were extremely impolite, making Han Li and the others slightly stunned.

"Red Moon Island? I wonder, how is Fellow Daoist Shi related to True Person Shi of Red Moon Island?" Jin Qing suddenly asked with a look of hesitation.

"That is my father!" The female cultivator glanced at Jin Qing and said coldly.

"Hehe, since that's the case, everything will be as Miss Shi says!" Jin Qing immediately agreed without hesitation upon hearing what the other party said, making Han Li look at him with some surprise.

"Fellow Daoist Han! True Person Shi once did me a favor in my early years, so please bear with her a little." A sound transmission from Jin Qing reached Han Li's ears.

Han Li didn't say anything upon hearing this, but gave Jin Qing a faint smile inadvertently.
