Chapter 639: Turning False into True

"Become my disciple? I don't take disciples. And do you think I would take a Foundation Establishment female cultivator as a disciple? Considering the bit of sentiment from that day, I won't blame you for this rash act; take care of yourself!" Han Li looked at the beautiful woman who had suddenly appeared before him, his expression cold and flatly refusing.

"Senior! I..." The woman surnamed Mu was startled by Han Li's words, a look of panic appearing on her face, and she hurriedly wanted to say something else. But Han Li flicked his sleeve lightly, a gust of wild wind rose, blowing the woman until she staggered, and the words that were about to come out were immediately forced back into her stomach by the strong wind.

When she stood firm and looked for Han Li again, there was no one in front of her; Han Li had disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, the woman was full of frustration, standing blankly in place for a long time without moving, still unwilling to leave just like that.

After all, this "Senior Han" who had suddenly appeared was the only life-saving straw she could grasp now.

At this moment, Han Li had already appeared within the small stone mountain cave dwelling and headed toward the insect room without hesitation. There, nearly ten thousand Gold-Devouring Beetles, almost entirely reddish-gold in color, were stored. These were the Gold-Silver Gold-Devouring Beetles that had successfully hatched and advanced again more than twenty years ago.

The silver spots on the shells of these flying insects were now only the size of needle holes. If one didn't observe them carefully under their eyelids, the naked eye wouldn't be able to see the silver light shimmering in the gold at all.

This meant that these Gold-Eating Insects were only one step away from final maturity.

This made Han Li excited but also slightly disappointed.

But even so, the power of these red-gold insects was truly an eye-opener for Han Li. He once put a hundred of the three-colored Gold-Eating Insects and the newly advanced gold Gold-Eating Insects together, and in a short while, the three-colored flying insects were swallowed clean by these peers that were a size larger than them.

Whether it was their swallowing ability or the toughness of their bodies, these new Gold-Eating Insects far exceeded the three-colored flying insects, and as they approached maturity, they began to emit a fierce aura that made people tremble, and they liked to swallow blood food, being extremely bloodthirsty and fierce compared to before.

He believed that if he hadn't applied the Soul-Controlling Restriction on them in advance, these flying insects would definitely have turned on him without hesitation.

But even so, Han Li vaguely sensed signs that the new Gold-Eating Insects were getting out of control.

It seemed that if they evolved again, it would be impossible to control these fierce insects with ordinary restriction methods.

Although he thought so, Han Li still followed the old method, picking out another batch of the largest Gold-Silver insects to isolate and ripen, so as to evolve them into mature spiritual insects that only appeared in the wild era as soon as possible.

However, judging from the fact that each advancement of the Gold-Eating Insects took longer than the last, it would probably take more than a hundred years to complete the final step. But having this buffer time was also good; he would have time to find a better way to control the spiritual insects.

Han Li pondered secretly while putting away the Gold-Eating Insects in the insect room, and then went to the medicine garden to carefully move the Spirit Eye Tree and the Nine-Curved Spiritual Ginseng, which had grown to the same height as the main body.

There was nothing to say about the Nine-Curved Spiritual Ginseng; although it had consumed quite a bit of vitality because of refining pills some time ago, Han Li later used Green Liquid to let it recover most of its vitality. Now it was fine.

As for the Spirit Eye Tree, after being ripened for so many years, the day it would flow with alcohol was not far off.

Han Li was very much looking forward to what divine abilities would appear after using this alcohol to prepare a large amount of Clear Spirit Water to wash his eyes.

Besides the spiritual insects and the spiritual medicines in the medicine garden, Han Li was too lazy to pack up other miscellaneous things and flew away from the cave dwelling.

Passing through the medicine garden from high altitude, Han Li subconsciously glanced down again. As a result, the woman surnamed Mu was still standing in front of the medicine garden, looking at the stone mountain, her teeth biting her lips, full of unwillingness, and did not notice Han Li, who had deliberately hidden his tracks and flew over from above.

Han Li shook his head lightly; solving this kind of thing seemed like a trivial matter to him, but he didn't want to give people a strong feeling of using power to oppress others just after becoming a Supreme Elder of the Falling Cloud Sect. After all, both the Mu family and the Yan family were not small cultivation families in the Xi Kingdom.

And with the plain relationship between him and this woman, there was no reason to intervene. He couldn't just take on trouble whenever a Falling Cloud Sect disciple he knew had something to ask of him.

Han Li had no interest in forcibly intervening in the internal affairs of other people's families.

Han Li flew away from the Falling Cloud Sect silently and arrived in front of the new cave dwelling on the mountain peak.

Dividing the restriction mist lightly, Han Li went straight to the new cave dwelling on the middle mountain peak.

Han Li settled the spiritual insects and spiritual medicines in a familiar way, temporarily handed over the affairs in the dwelling to Lady Yin Yue, and entered the quiet room without delay to begin condensing his Nascent Soul.

During this period, the silver-haired old man and the other also knew that Han Li needed time to condense his Nascent Soul, so they didn't come to disturb Han Li's cultivation.

A hundred days later, Han Li successfully condensed his Nascent Soul and initially achieved the unity of heart, spirit, and Nascent Soul. Now, if his Nascent Soul left his body, Han Li could easily control every move it made.

When Han Li came out of the quiet room, Lady Yin Yue was waiting outside the quiet room as usual, transformed into a young woman.

However, when she saw Han Li, a strange look appeared on her beautiful face.

"Why, you seem to have something to say to me. What happened?" Han Li frowned and asked.

"Master, half a month after you entered the quiet room, that 'Senior Uncle Mu' came looking for you again. She has been waiting for you for many days on a small mountain outside the sub-peak." Lady Yin Yue smiled and said.

"This woman is truly ignorant of advancement or retreat; if she wants to wait, let her wait. Anyway, I won't look for trouble myself." Han Li raised his eyebrows and said expressionlessly.

"However, Master. Not long after that woman came, we received transmission talismans sent on behalf of the Yan family and the Mu family. Because Master was in seclusion, I copied and saved these two transmission talismans for you. Does Master want to take a look?" Lady Yin Yue rolled her bright eyes and asked tentatively.

"Transmission talismans? The Mu family and the Yan family? Could it be related to that woman surnamed Mu! Looking at you, it's obvious you've seen them. Is there a problem?" Han Li touched his chin and said without changing his expression.

"Hehe! Master is truly prescient, but there's no need for Lady Yin Yue to say anything; Master will know at a glance. Master really has a bit of trouble." Lady Yin Yue smiled sweetly.

"Bring them here!" Hearing Lady Yin Yue say this, Han Li was too lazy to guess anything and stretched out his palm directly.

Lady Yin Yue immediately took out two talismans, one red and one white, from her body, smiled, and handed them to Han Li with her slender hands.

Han Li took the talismans without standing on ceremony and shook them, and the two light clusters, red and white, lit up in his hands one after another.

Han Li's heart and spirit invaded the two light clusters, listening quietly to something. But a moment later, his face turned into a look of astonishment, followed by an extremely angry expression.

"Hmph! This woman is truly bold. Does she really think that just because she was my nominal Senior Uncle for a few years, I would tolerate her making such a scene?" After hearing everything, Han Li's face sank like water, and his voice turned icy cold.

"She naturally knows that doing so will definitely offend Master. However, although this woman hasn't had much contact with Master, she has probably seen that Master is not truly hard-hearted. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had the courage to seek protection from a Nascent Soul cultivator like you that day. Besides, even if she is truly punished, she probably feels it's better than being the dual cultivation partner of that 'Senior Brother Yan'." Lady Yin Yue analyzed, trying hard to suppress her laughter.

"However, she is bold enough to say it. She actually told the people of the two families directly that I had already taken her as a personal concubine. It made the patriarchs of the two families rush to send transmissions to apologize, and that Yan family patriarch immediately indicated that they didn't know this woman had become my concubine and had immediately dissolved the marriage contract with the Mu family, hoping that I would not blame them. Since this woman dared to do this, it seems she has some awareness in her heart." Han Li glanced at Lady Yin Yue without a good temper and said.

"What does Master mean..." Lady Yin Yue blinked her bright eyes, revealing a look of surprise.

"Why, is it strange for me to take a concubine now that my Nascent Soul is formed? Besides, this woman's beauty is indeed extraordinary, and I am also a normal male cultivator. What's wrong with turning false into true and tasting the pleasure of dual cultivation!" Han Li suddenly stretched and said with a hint of laziness, but a cold smile hung hidden at the corner of his mouth.

"But Master has always been indifferent to women, and even refused such good things that were delivered to your door several times before. For example, that Miss Wen, and even earlier..." Lady Yin Yue was stunned and then bit her alluring red lips, somewhat puzzled.

"The past is the past, and now is now. When I formed my Nascent Soul, my cultivation was still shallow. Naturally, I wouldn't have any thoughts of seeking pleasure and taking concubines. If I had met that Miss Wen back then, I naturally wouldn't have let her go easily." Han Li squinted his eyes and said in a flat tone, appearing extremely serious.

Lady Yin Yue heard this and was stunned, speechless for a while.
