Chapter 931

One day and one night later, Han Li came out of the stone chamber, left the mountain belly, and headed straight for the center of the Great Jin. Net The capital, this number one city in the mortal world, was located there.

Because the time was still early, Han Li just used the ordinary escape speed of a Core Formation cultivator to travel east without haste, in order to prevent attracting others' attention.

Not long after, Han Li successfully left Longzhou and entered the neighboring prefecture. Only then did he take out the Wind-Driving Car, and with full escape speed, turned into a white light and left through the air.

With Han Li's faintly exposed Nascent Soul level cultivator aura, some low-tier cultivators he met on the way all respectfully avoided him from afar. Nascent Soul level cultivators are existences that ordinary cultivators in the Great Jin need to look up to. Naturally, they didn't dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.

More than a month later, when he entered the Jinjiang Prefecture near the capital, Han Li put away the Wind-Driving Car, slowed down his escape speed, and at the same time restrained his aura to the Core Formation level, moving slowly.

After all, in the hinterland of the Great Jin, there must be many high-tier cultivators, and he didn't want to attract too much attention.

More than ten days later, a hundred li away from the capital, an old horse with scorched yellow fur was pulling a dilapidated two-wheeled carriage, moving slowly on the official road.

Sitting in front of the carriage was a green-shirted Confucian scholar with an ordinary face, who was Han Li.

At this time, he was sitting in front of the carriage, his body swaying, his eyes half-closed, looking as if he were asleep. In fact, secretly, he was refining a Snow Soul Pill he had taken a few days ago.

Speaking of which, since he came out of the space crack, he had already taken more than a dozen of this kind of pill that could enhance ice-cold power.

This pill was worthy of being a kind of ancient spirit pill, and Han Li clearly felt that the Dry Blue Ice Flame and the cold air of the Six-Winged Frost Centipede he had refined were becoming more and more pure. The trace of impurities that could not be refined in the Purple Luo Heavenly Fire was also gradually fused and disappeared, making the power of the cold air increase greatly.

The only trouble was that these pills were not easy to refine, and the interval between taking the pills had to be three or four months. This made Han Li feel helpless. Otherwise, if he took one pill every month, he estimated that the Purple Luo Heavenly Fire would become extremely terrifying in just a hundred years, and it might be possible to cultivate it to the legendary realm of freezing a thousand li.

However, even so, the Purple Luo Heavenly Fire was not inferior to any of the top-tier divine abilities of the righteous and demonic paths, and it had almost never been truly restrained by any other cultivation technique.

As for why Han Li appeared here driving such a carriage, it was because the capital, as the capital of the mortal world, had such an unwritten rule in the Great Jin cultivation world: fighting and flying are strictly prohibited within a thousand li of the capital, to show a trace of respect from cultivators to the Great Jin government.

In the Great Jin, cultivators and mortals are also interdependent to some extent. However, this rule only applies to those low-tier cultivators; there are many Nascent Soul or even Core Formation cultivators who are confident in their escape techniques and ignore it.

After all, those responsible for patrolling around the capital are just some rogue cultivators hired by the government, and their cultivation is generally not very high. As long as they are not discovered, or when entering the capital, they don't fly at low altitude in a high-profile manner, there are many who do so.

And Han Li also didn't care about this.

But because the time was sufficient, and he wanted to refine this Snow Soul Pill on the road, he landed his escape light hundreds of li away. He bought an old horse in a small town and went on the road leisurely.

On this road, Han Li also met some low-tier cultivators who were honestly riding horses and carriages. But Han Li didn't want to cause trouble, and after restraining his magic power, he was just like a mortal. These low-tier cultivators naturally couldn't see through it at all, and no one went to harass Han Li.

Because Han Li's carriage was not fast, seven or eight batches of pedestrians and merchant teams had already passed by on this official road.

Han Li ignored them and went his own way. Just as he was feeling calm as water, feeling the medicinal power at his dantian slowly dissipating into his meridians, he suddenly frowned, and then a sound like a storm of horse hooves suddenly rang out on the official road behind the carriage.

Han Li's expression didn't change, but his eyes opened. He pulled the reins in his hand, and the old horse immediately moved to the side of the official road.

Only then did Han Li look back lazily.

I saw a yellow dragon rolling in from the official road behind, with flags fluttering inside, as if thousands of troops and horses were rushing toward here.

A look of surprise appeared on Han Li's face.

The yellow dragon approached Han Li's side in the blink of an eye, and a team of knights in silver helmets and silver armor, carrying knives and bows, appeared in the dust.

These knights were all brave and strong, and the leader was a middle-aged man in a brocade robe riding a black horse, with a long sword at his waist, and a flag on his back with the word "Wang" written on it. In the middle of the knights, there were several jade carriages pulled by horses, rushing together. This carriage flashed with faint spiritual light, but it didn't shake at all when rushing like this, as if it were nothing.

"Magic tool?" Han Li was surprised when he saw the carriage. After sweeping with his spiritual sense, the other carriages were fine, seemingly piled with dead objects, but only one carriage had the aura of a cultivator, although the aura was very weak, it was really unexpected that an ordinary cultivator was mixed with these soldiers.

Han Li pulled the reins and simply stopped the carriage on the side of the road, letting these soldiers go first.

This team of knights should have three or four hundred people, but when they passed by, they were like a hurricane, and the momentum was astonishing.

Han Li's gaze flickered. These knights all carried murderous aura, as if they were all brave and good at fighting, this was not an ordinary city-guarding soldier. It was more like iron-blooded soldiers who often participated in bloody battles.

He had heard people say that although the Great Jin is vast, it borders some uncivilized lands in the southeast and northwest, and often has mortal wars with the natives there. Only such chaotic places can train true iron-blooded soldiers.

Just as Han Li was thinking, a jade carriage passed by, and a gaze flashed from the crack of the carriage window, just happening to see Han Li on the side, and then a light "Eh" sound rang out in the carriage.

Han Li also seemed to sense something, and couldn't help but look up, and a pair of familiar beautiful eyes flashed past the carriage window.

After being slightly startled in his heart, before he could remember who it was, the team of knights had already gone far away.

Staring at the departing queue, Han Li pondered for a while, and finally shook his head, giving up the idea of extending his spiritual sense into the carriage to investigate. This was not because Han Li was too lazy to do so, but because those jade carriages carried some simple isolation barriers. To investigate, he couldn't avoid being detected by the people in the carriage.

And the people in the carriage were only at the Qi Condensation stage, and Han Li didn't want to cause any trouble because of some low-tier cultivators.

After looking indifferently at the knights in front who had gone far away, Han Li continued to move forward with the carriage.

This time, after walking only ten li, a three-way intersection appeared in front, where several official roads met, and a large piece of lush forest was built on the side of the road, with several simple tea shops connected together.

And many carriages and horses stopped outside the tea shops, and their owners entered these simple places to drink water and eat. After all, this was almost the only place to rest on this direction to the capital. Most people passing by would rest for a while.

Han Li swept his gaze casually and saw those silver-armored knights also dismounting and resting by the forest. But those jade carriages also stopped there, only one of them was half-open now, looking empty. And that middle-aged man in a brocade robe was also not among the knights.

Han Li frowned, subconsciously swept a glance at those tea shops, and then continued to pass through this intersection without changing his expression, intending to continue on the road.

But just at this moment, one of the knights saw Han Li's carriage and suddenly walked over in big strides. He blocked the way.

Han Li was stunned.

"Is this young master surnamed Han?" This knight bowed slightly to Han Li and said neither humble nor arrogant.

"Not bad, I am this surname! Do you have anything to do?" Han Li's expression moved, and he said slowly.

"Since it is really Young Master Han, then I haven't found the wrong person. My young lady invites you to the tea shop for a chat."

"Your young lady? Hmm..., alright, I'll go over there." Han Li's expression moved, and he remembered the beautiful eyes he saw in the carriage just now, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.

He jumped off the carriage immediately.

"Young Master, please, my young lady has already booked that small tea shop over there, just follow me." This knight said in a deep voice and beckoned to the forest side. Immediately, two other knights came over to help Han Li lead the carriage.

Han Li followed this person and walked toward one of the tea shops.

After a while, Han Li appeared in front of two women and one man in the tea shop. The man was naturally the middle-aged man in a brocade robe, about forty years old, with a long beard and narrow eyes, looking imposing. The other two women were both in their prime, and both were cultivators, but one was at the seventh layer of Qi Condensation, and one was at the fifth layer of Qi Condensation.

"Brother Han, we haven't met for several years, I didn't expect to meet here. I will never forget your guidance to me back then."

The man sat still, and the other two women stood up to welcome Han Li as soon as he walked in. The woman with lower cultivation even bit her apricot lips slightly, a trace of joy appearing on her beautiful face.

"So it's Miss Cao, this is truly a coincidence. I left without saying goodbye back then, I hope Fellow Daoist Cao won't blame me." Han Li was startled, then smiled and replied.

This woman was Cao Cao Mengrong, the daughter of the county magistrate he met when he first arrived in the Great Jin a few years ago.

"Brother Han must have had important matters back then, how could Cao Mengrong blame you. By the way, let me introduce you. This is Senior Sister Wang, who took care of me and was like a sister to me when I was in the sect back then. This is Senior Sister Wang's uncle, who has been stationed in the southern border of the Great Jin and is the famous Pillar South Great General. This time he is returning to the capital to see the Emperor." Cao Cao Mengrong began to introduce the middle-aged man and the other beautiful young woman who looked like a peach blossom to Han Li.
