Chapter 603

Seeing that Han Li had truly agreed to the request for help, Kui Cai Huan was naturally extremely happy. After immediately agreeing on the time and place with Han Li, he left with a beaming smile.

After a night passed, early the next morning, Han Li opened the restrictions of his cave dwelling, left the medicine garden, and headed straight for the agreed-upon location.

He was stepping on a flying sword magic tool, his speed neither fast nor slow.

It is quite funny to think about. He had not used magic tools for many years since reaching the Core Formation stage.

This top-tier magic tool was also the most inconspicuous one Han Li could manage to dig out from his storage bag.

As for even more trashy magic tools, he really could not find any.

After flying for half a quarter of an hour, Han Li landed on a small hill that looked relatively high. This was exactly the meeting place he had agreed upon with Kui Cai Huan and the others.

There was no one here yet, and Han Li did not show any signs of anxiety. Because he had arrived earlier than the agreed time.

Han Li did not stand on ceremony; he immediately found a clean rock on the hilltop, sat cross-legged on it, and began to circulate his Qi, breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

An hour later, when the fiery red morning sun vaguely appeared on the horizon, several black dots appeared from another direction, slowly moving toward this place.

Seeing the flying speed of these people, Han Li rubbed his nose and gave a bitter laugh in his heart.

After another period of time, these people finally flew to the small hill at a speed that, in Han Li's eyes, was like a snail crawling.

"Junior Brother Han, you arrived even earlier than us. You are truly thoughtful." Kui Cai Huan greeted Han Li loudly with a smile while standing on his magic tool in the air. Under his feet was a disc-like magic tool, which was the low-tier flying magic tool uniformly issued to disciples by the Falling Cloud Sect. No wonder their speed was so slow.

While speaking, Kui Cai Huan led the others down.

"It's nothing, I just arrived as well. Are these few Senior Brothers the entire team for this trip?" Han Li stood up from the rock, his gaze shifting to look at the other three people.

"Hehe, five people are just right for setting up the Five Elements Lost-Track formation to catch that Snow Cloud Fox. If there were more people, the spirit stones would be much less. These three are Senior Brother Ma, Senior Brother Xi, and Senior Brother Wang." Kui Cai Huan pointed to the other three with a full face of smiles and introduced them to Han Li one by one.

The three of them were not very old. The oldest was Senior Brother Wang, who was about thirty-five or thirty-six; he had a scholarly appearance, wore flowing white clothes, and had quite a dashing demeanor. Among them, he also had the highest cultivation, at about the eleventh layer of the Qi Condensation stage.

The other two young men, one short and chubby, the other with a pale golden complexion, were both twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with cultivation at the tenth layer of the Qi Condensation stage.

"I and my two Junior Brothers have heard about Junior Brother Han's matter. This time, it is truly thanks to Junior Brother's generous help. Otherwise, we would still be helpless against that demon fox." That Senior Brother Wang was also quite extraordinary; as soon as Kui Cai Huan finished the introductions, he said to Han Li with a smile. He gave people a feeling like a spring breeze.

The other two also looked at Han Li with kindness; it seemed that the matter of being willing to lend spirit stones earlier had left them with a very good impression of Han Li.

"Senior Brother is too polite; I just wanted to earn some more spirit stones." Han Li naturally said a few polite words.

"These spirit stones might not count for much to Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, but for us Qi Condensation stage disciples, they are not something that can be easily lent to strangers. Just on this point, Junior Brother Han is someone worth befriending! I, Wang, consider myself to have made a friend in Junior Brother." The white-clad cultivator surnamed Wang shook his head with a sincere expression.

Han Li nodded secretly upon hearing this and could not help but look at this person a few more times.

This Senior Brother Wang was extraordinary in terms of demeanor, cultivation, and character. It seemed he was the leader of this group.

So after Han Li smiled and wanted to say something more, Kui Cai Huan looked at the sky and suddenly interrupted to remind them:

"Senior Brother Wang, Junior Brother Han. Let's talk on the way. At our speed, if we delay any longer, we probably won't have much time to catch the Snow Cloud Fox when we reach the Green-Track Marsh. After all, we cannot leave the sect for too long."

"Junior Brother Kui is right. We really cannot waste any more time. Let's set off now. When there is an opportunity in the future, I will have a good talk with Junior Brother Han." Senior Brother Wang nodded in agreement.

So the few of them immediately released their magic tools and soared into the sky.

"Eh, Junior Brother is actually using a magic tool he bought himself; that must be at least a mid-tier magic tool or higher. Could it be that Junior Brother is also a disciple from some family?" As soon as they rose into the air, Kui Cai Huan saw the flying sword under Han Li's feet and could not help but exclaim in surprise while flying his own tool.

After all, even a mid-tier magic tool meant a large sum of spirit stones to them, the outer sect disciples at the Qi Condensation stage.

Seeing this, Senior Brother Wang also revealed a look of surprise; although he did not say anything, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

As for the short, chubby cultivator and the one with the pale golden complexion, they also showed looks of astonishment.

"I, Han, am alone; what family could I be from? It's just that in my early years, I learned some rough skills in refining talismans. So when I was a rogue cultivator, I managed to earn some spirit stones. Otherwise, I would not have been so generous as to lend Senior Brother Kui so many spirit stones at once." Before coming, Han Li had already anticipated this situation, so he smiled and explained with a grin.

Hearing Han Li say this, these people first showed looks of sudden realization, and then became extremely envious.

"Talisman refining? I didn't expect Junior Brother Han to have such skills. Since Junior Brother can earn spirit stones from this, your refining level should not be bad. I wonder which tier of talismans you can refine now?" The short, chubby Senior Brother Ma put away the look of shock on his face and asked with some curiosity.

"I mainly refine low-tier beginner spirit talismans; I can also refine two types of mid-tier beginner ones, but the success rate is not very high." Han Li said noncommittally.

"Junior Brother Han can actually refine mid-tier talismans." Even Senior Brother Wang was moved by this and could not help but look at Han Li a few more times.

"Yes. I can refine 'Thunder Fire Talismans' and 'Diamond Talismans'. But unfortunately, I can only succeed once in every five or six attempts. After deducting the cost of materials, I basically don't earn any spirit stones." Han Li said with an unchanging expression.

"Junior Brother Han is too modest. As far as I know, among the outer sect disciples, even in the Fire Cloud Peak, which specializes in talisman refining, there are not many who can do this. With this skill alone, Junior Brother will have a steady stream of spirit stones in the future. Unlike us, who have to rack our brains every day for ways to earn spirit stones." Senior Brother Wang sighed and said with some emotion.

The others heard this, and their expressions dimmed; it was clear that Senior Brother Wang's words had touched a sore spot.

"Senior Brothers think too highly of me. After all, what I refine are not high-tier talismans, and I am someone who cannot spend all day in the market selling these low-tier talismans that I don't know when will sell, so the harvest is not as much as you think. Instead, I see that your business of catching Snow Cloud Foxes is doing quite well, isn't it?" Han Li's gaze shifted slightly, and he changed the subject.

Hearing this, Kui Cai Huan and the others looked at each other, and then all revealed bitter smiles. Senior Brother Wang spoke up:

"Junior Brother is unaware, but this business of catching Snow Cloud Foxes is something we won't be able to do many more times. After catching this demon fox, we probably won't go to the Green-Track Marsh again."

"Why is that?" Han Li asked in surprise after a pause.

"First, because the Snow Cloud Foxes there have been caught by us seven or eight times over, and it's not easy to find the remaining ones. Second, because Snow Cloud Foxes are not selling well now. After all, ordinary Snow Cloud Foxes are not true demon beasts, and only a small portion of female disciples are willing to buy them. Senior Sisters who have achieved some cultivation still want to catch a demon beast to be their own spirit beast." Kui Cai Huan explained from the side.

"So that's how it is. It seems you Senior Brothers will indeed have to look for other ways in the future." Han Li revealed a look of sympathy.

Senior Brother Wang heard this, shook his head, and did not say anything more.

Just like that, the five of them flew out of the Falling Cloud Sect's restriction range, and after changing direction, headed straight for the middle of Mount Mount Yunmeng.

"Junior Brother Han, the location of the Green-Track Marsh is in a very clever place, right at the border between our Falling Cloud Sect and the Ancient Sword Gate. But because the location is remote and there is miasma all year round, very few other disciples go there. That's why we have been able to monopolize the Snow Cloud Fox business. This is a bottle of medicine to dispel miasma; once we fly in there, Junior Brother must take one pill at regular intervals. Otherwise, you will definitely be vomiting and having diarrhea non-stop." On the way, Senior Brother Wang suddenly threw a small green bottle to Han Li and reminded him.

"Many thanks for Senior Brother's trouble." Han Li did not stand on ceremony, took the small bottle, and put it into his storage bag.

However, with his cultivation, he would naturally not fear any miasma; heaven knows if he would take this medicine.

The five of them flew for several hours, crossed a tall mountain peak, and suddenly the view before them brightened, revealing a vast basin valley of extreme lush green, mostly various trees and shrubs of different heights. But within the lush green, there was vaguely pale pink mist floating above it.

"We've arrived, let's go down. Everyone be careful!" Senior Brother Wang warned, then stepped on his magic tool and was the first to rush toward the mist below.
