Chapter 614

After hearing Kui Cai Huan's words, Han Li smiled faintly and said calmly:

"The only relationship of interest between me and the two brothers is that demon fox. If it's not this matter, what else could it be?"

Han Li's expression appeared extremely composed. WwW. feiazw. CoM Net

Kui Cai Huan opened his mouth when he heard this, looking speechless.

It was Brother Wang on the side who sighed and said:

"Junior Brother Han is indeed clever. It is indeed that Snow Cloud Fox that went wrong. We brothers wanted to sell this demon beast early, so after parting ways with you, we went to the marketplace. As a result, after walking a short distance, I always felt uneasy, so I asked Junior Brother Kui to open the Green Cloud Bag to check. As a result..."

Speaking of this, Brother Wang paused, a strange look appearing on his face.

"As a result, that demon fox didn't know what trick it used and disappeared from the Green Cloud Bag without a trace. This is really too strange," Kui Cai Huan said anxiously, grabbing the lead on the side.

"No trace?" Han Li frowned slightly and pondered, as if pondering the true meaning of these words.

Seeing Han Li like this, Brother Wang secretly felt bitter in his heart.

Seeing that although Han Li's cultivation was not high, he was proficient in talisman techniques and had several mysterious magic tools on him, he had long made up his mind to make good friends with the other party.

But he didn't expect that before he could formally establish a friendship with the other party, such an awkward thing would happen.

If he were wealthy himself, it would be fine; he could be generous and pay for the other party's share himself to leave a good impression. But unfortunately, he and his fellow disciples were all short of spirit stones and had empty pockets. Even if he wanted to win over the other party, it seemed very difficult now.

Thinking of this, a look of frustration flashed across Brother Wang's face, but he still braced himself and said:

"I know this is hard to believe, but it really happened. But no matter what, it was Junior Brother who handed the spirit fox to us, and now it's suddenly gone. Wang should give Junior Brother an explanation. I have already asked other junior brothers to sell that yellow essence first to pay back the spirit stones borrowed from you, and then I will send the spirit stones to Junior Brother. As for the share of spirit stones that Junior Brother should have received, as soon as we have some spare money, we will immediately make it up to Junior Brother."

As soon as Brother Wang said this, Kui Cai Huan's face changed, and he said anxiously:

"Brother! For us, this is quite a large sum. Even if we all pool together, it will take at least two or three years. During this period, without spirit stones to buy pills, won't our cultivation be delayed?"

Brother Wang shook his head, looking like he wanted to say something. But at this moment, Han Li suddenly spoke.

"Why do the two brothers have to be like this! Han Mou doesn't seem to have said he didn't believe you. That Snow Cloud Fox is proficient in escape techniques, so it's not strange for it to escape from a leather bag magic tool. I originally wanted to remind Brother Kui, but then I felt it was inconvenient to say so, so I didn't open my mouth. As for the spirit stones, let's not mention them. As long as you return what you borrowed, that's fine. I haven't suffered any losses," Han Li said with a smile.

Upon hearing Han Li's words, Kui Cai Huan immediately revealed a look of great joy, clapped his hands, and said loudly:

"I knew Junior Brother was a generous person. Although this matter was our fault, we really don't have any spirit stones. And with Junior Brother's family background, I think you won't care too much about this amount. I, Kui Cai Huan, have decided to make friends with Junior Brother Han."

This Kui Cai Huan was all smiles when he heard he didn't have to pay spirit stones.

Brother Wang revealed a look of hesitation when he heard Han Li's words, and after a long while, he smiled bitterly and helplessly:

"Since Junior Brother Han is so generous, Wang will accept Junior Brother's kindness on behalf of the other junior brothers. In the future, if Junior Brother needs any help, just come to us. As long as we can do it, Wang will definitely not refuse."

This Brother Wang felt that although Han Li's words were very polite, what he was thinking in his heart was probably another matter.

So he still tried his best to make his words tactful and pleasant, wanting to leave a not-too-bad impression on Han Li. And after he finished saying this, he specifically observed Han Li's expression.

But Han Li's expression was as usual, and no joy or anger could be seen at all. This made Brother Wang secretly frown.

For the rest of the time, the three chatted outside the medicine garden for a while.

And not long after, the short, fat young man and the other arrived on their magic tools, bringing the spirit stones from selling the yellow essence to the marketplace.

Han Li took the bag of spirit stones, scanned it casually with his divine sense, and then put it away with an unchanging expression.

"By the way. I see Junior Brother Han's magic tools are quite mysterious. I wonder if you will participate in the Sword Trial Assembly half a year later?" Brother Wang saw Han Li put away the spirit stones and originally wanted to say goodbye, but suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask.

"Sword Trial Assembly?" Han Li was stunned when he heard this, and asked back with a look of surprise.

"Why, Junior Brother Han doesn't know about this?"

This time, not only was Brother Wang stunned, but Kui Cai Huan and the other three also revealed looks of disbelief.

Han Li felt a bit puzzled in his heart, but replied calmly on the surface:

"Is it very strange that I don't know about this?"

"Of course it's strange. Oh, right! Junior Brother Han only joined the sect a year ago and has been staying in the medicine garden. It seems understandable that you don't know about the Sword Trial Assembly," Kui Cai Huan blinked and said with a sudden realization.

Hearing this, the others looked at each other, nodded, and felt it was really the case.

"Junior Brother Han not knowing about the Sword Trial Assembly really surprised us. After all, the day of the assembly is not far away. Now in the sect, whether it's inner disciples or outer disciples, everyone is talking about this. Some who want to stand out are even more eager to try," Brother Wang said with a strange look after exhaling.

"Speaking of which! This time, our sect has produced several young cultivators with great cultivation and divine abilities, like our Hidden Sword Peak's Uncle-Master Gu, Fire Cloud Peak's Sun Huo who successfully built his foundation shortly after joining, and your Heaven Spring Peak's Uncle-Master Mu, all of whom are very hopeful to shine at the assembly. It's just a pity that although we outer disciples can also participate in the sect's selection, we have never truly won in the selection and represented the sect in the competition. At most, we get a good ranking in the selection and are rewarded with a mid-tier magic tool," the short, fat young man said with a look of admiration, then suddenly explained.

"Oh, there's a magic tool reward for losing in the sect's selection. It seems this assembly is really unusual. Can Brother Wang explain this in detail?" Han Li asked with a hint of curiosity in his heart.

"Of course, no problem. This Sword Trial Assembly is actually a grand event specially prepared by our Mount Mount Yunmeng's three sects for new disciples. Basically, regardless of status, any disciple below the Foundation Establishment stage who is under thirty years old can participate. And Junior Brother Han, you look like you are only twenty-five or twenty-six. You just happen to meet the conditions," Brother Wang looked at Han Li and said slowly.

"Is that so? But in this way, it seems there won't be too many disciples who can participate," Han Li touched his chin and asked leisurely.

"Junior Brother's words also make some sense. The convening of the Sword Trial Assembly is actually closely related to the 'Holy Tree' managed by the three sects."

"'Holy Tree'?" Han Li was stunned when he heard this, but then understood that the other party was referring to the Spirit Eye Tree on Mount Mount Yunmeng.

Instantly, his originally lazy expression disappeared, and he revealed a solemn expression.

"What does the Sword Trial Assembly have to do with this spirit object?" Han Li asked in a deep voice.

"The Sword Trial Assembly is actually held in advance according to the days when the Holy Tree flows with alcohol liquid. It is also a way for our Falling Cloud Sect, Ancient Sword Gate, and Hundred Crafts Academy to divide the spirit liquid. Any sect that can suppress the other two sects at the Sword Trial Assembly can take away half of the alcohol liquid alone, and the other two sects can only divide the remaining half equally. Therefore, although the Sword Trial Assembly is nominally just a competition for new disciples, the three sects attach great importance to it from top to bottom. If you make a great contribution at the assembly, you will naturally be highly valued by the sect's elders, and the benefits in the future will be countless," Brother Wang explained the origin of the Sword Trial Assembly in one breath. After pausing for a moment, he said solemnly:

"Of course, even without mentioning the preciousness of the Holy Tree's first drop of alcohol liquid, the other 'medicine' materials for preparation are all extremely rare. It is said that several types of thousand-year spirit 'medicines' were used. It's a pity that this miraculous effect of clearing the eyes is only effective for low-tier cultivators at the Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment stages. Otherwise, the higher-ups wouldn't be willing to take it out as a reward. Of course, even without this benefit, if you can suppress other disciples at the Sword Trial Assembly, the final reward is even more generous. Not only will the top few be gifted with top-tier magic tools, but there will also be a Fixed Spirit Pill as an additional reward for the champion. Although this pill has no use for us low-tier disciples, taking this pill to exchange with other Core Formation experts, even three or four top-tier magic tools should be easily exchanged back. However, this matter of winning the championship seems to have been occupied by the Ancient Sword Gate ever since our sect moved to this Mount Mount Yunmeng. We and the Hundred Crafts Academy disciples have always been forced to be second best. But this is also understandable! Who told the Ancient Sword Gate to be a sword cultivation sect? Both their cultivation techniques and sword tools are extremely sharp. For cultivators of the same stage to want to defeat sword cultivators, it is truly extremely difficult!"

Brother Wang's final words, I don't know if he was complaining or envious!
