Chapter 1016

"Clan Leader, forgive me for being blunt.

This person said that he came here because he felt the ripples of a spell being cast here. I don't think it's that simple.

Even if this person's Secret Technique is powerful enough to sense the situation of this place through several layers of restrictions, there is still the Quietus Nihility Formation around the Wood God Basin. Even if that person could sneak into this place, the Quietus Nihility Formation should have reacted when he did. However, I didn't sense anything strange about the formation. I suspect that he has secretly followed the young master here and has been spying on us all this time. I don't know what he's up to, "Elder Qiu said in a deep voice.

"What you said is not unreasonable. However, these are all speculations.

Even if Friend Han has snuck into this place, he shouldn't have any ill intentions towards the Green Fox Clan. Otherwise, he could have killed all three of us here. Then no matter what he wants to do, no one in the Green Fox Clan would be able to stop him. "Ye Luo said solemnly.

"Since Clan Leader thinks so, then I won't say anything else." Elder Qiu said after a moment of silence.

"It is good that Elder Qiu understands. Let's not talk about his intentions for coming here. Seeing how he was able to so easily expel the cold poison in my body, his strength is definitely far above ours. We must not offend such a person." Ye Luo's expression relaxed when he heard this. He once again warned.

"I … I understand.

However, if I find out that he has done anything to harm our clan, I will not let him go even if I have to risk my life. "Elder Qiu said slowly with a hint of pain in his eyes.

Ye Luo didn't say anything else this time. He reached out his hand and patted Elder Qiu's shoulder.

"Clan Leader, you have just expelled the cold poison from your body. You should get some rest. I will leave now." Elder Qiu said and left.

Ye Luo nodded. After watching Elder Qiu leave, he returned to the jade bed and sat down cross-legged.

Nothing happened that night.

Early the next morning, Ye Luo and Ye Susu came to Han Li's courtyard together. Elder Qiu didn't come with them, and Weeping Soul was cultivating in the branch space.

"Qing Hu City is located in a remote area, so it can't compare to the other bustling cities in the Golden Origin Mountain Range. On top of that, our tribe pursues a natural style of architecture, so we don't have any lofty and luxurious places to receive guests. As such, Friend Han can only stay in a small courtyard like this. My apologies," the Yelo Tribe leader said apologetically.

After a day of rest, her complexion looked much better.

"Not at all. Han prefers this kind of tranquil environment." Han Li invited the two of them into the house and smiled.

"As long as Friend Han likes it. If you have any requests, just let me know. No need to be polite." Ye Luo nodded and said.

"Thank you for your concern, Tribe Chief. Han has heard that the Cyan Fox Tribe specializes in growing spirit plants, and I would like to request some. Here is the list." Han Li handed over a jade slip.

He hadn't been idle during his journey to the Golden Origin Mountain Range. He had been collecting materials for a Primordial Unity Pill called the Black Heaven Pill.

Not only did he have a large number of Immortal Meta Stones, but he also had many precious materials for the Dust World, the Demon World, and the Cumulus Void Realm.

Through the mask of the Samsara Temple, he had gathered all the ingredients for the Azure Heaven Pill with Immortal Essence Stones and precious materials. Coincidentally, he had found the remaining ingredients in Qing Hu City.

Although Ye Luo had heard about this from Ye Susu, her expression still changed slightly when she took a look at the jade slip.

Han Li took out a storage tool and placed it on the table. "Han needs a lot of spirit plants, and the age requirement is very high as well. Rest assured, Tribe Chief. Han did not ask the Cyan Fox Tribe to provide them for free. This is the reward."

Ye Luo scanned the storage tool with her divine sense, and her face lit up with joy. Then, she said with a shameful expression, "Friend Han has done a great favor for me and my daughter. These spirit plants should have been given to him as a gift. However, our tribe hasn't been doing well in recent years, and we've been having trouble making ends meet. I'll gladly accept these Immortal Meta Stones."

"Please don't say that, Tribe Chief. This is how it should be," Han Li said with a wave of his hand.

Ye Luo passed the jade slip to Ye Susu and said, "Susu, tell the others to bring the materials Friend Han needs."

"Yes, Clan Chief." Ye Susu nodded and left.

After Ye Susu left, Ye Luo stared at Han Li and asked, "Friend Han, please forgive me for asking this. Why have you come to Qing Hu City?"

After a brief pause, Han Li cut straight to the chase, and said, "Please rest assured, Family Leader. I have no ill intentions toward Qing Hu City. I simply like the peace and tranquility of this place, so I'd like to go into seclusion here for a while. Is that alright with you?"

"That's all?" Ye Luo was surprised to hear this.

"Of course.

I don't care about anything else in your Cyan Fox Tribe. Rest assured, Tribe Chief. "Han Li waved his hand casually.

"I see … I was overthinking things. If Fellow Daoist Han only wishes to stay in Qing Hu City to cultivate, then I welcome you with open arms. You can stay for as long as you like."

Ye Luo carefully observed every single expression on Han Li's face and was relieved to see that he wasn't lying.

"Thank you for taking us in, Tribe Chief. However, I hope you can cover up the fact that I'm here with the Weeping Soul Beast. That will be beneficial to both of us," Han Li said with a meaningful expression.

"No problem." Ye Luo nodded in agreement.

The two of them could be considered to have come to an open and honest conclusion. Their hearts relaxed slightly, and they began to chat about the various matters in the Gold Origin Mountain Range.

"Tribe Chief Ye Luo, Han has read in some books that there aren't many demonic tribes in the Golden Origin Mountains, and most of them have migrated here from the outside world.

Your Azure Fox Race is proficient in wood-attribute abilities and illusionary techniques, which is very different from what you see here in the Golden Origin Mountain Ranges. Could it be that your race also migrated here from outside? "Han Li suddenly asked.

Ye Luo nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Han is correct. Many years ago, my clan migrated here from the outside world and settled down here."

"Forgive me for being presumptuous, but where did your nobles come from?" Han Li asked.

"I'm not too sure about that. There aren't any records in our tribe, but I remember reading an ancestor's diary. Our tribe seems to have migrated from the southern part of the Golden Origin Continent. However, it was too long ago, so I'm not too sure. Why are you asking about this, Friend Han?" Ye Luo asked.

"Nothing much. It's just that I once encountered a fox with the surname of Liu many years ago. I felt that it was quite similar to your tribe, so I was just asking," Han Li replied with a smile.

"A fox with the surname of Liu?

According to our tribe's records, a female ancestor named Liu Mei joined our tribe when we first settled here. She was the one who brought us the secret technique of cultivating spirit grasses.

Speaking of which, Su Su and I are both descendants of this ancestor. However, Ancestor Liu Mei has never mentioned her origins. She is an extremely mysterious character in the history of my clan. Could it be that she is related to the Liu Fox Clan that Fellow Daoist Han mentioned? "Ye Luo's eyes lit up as she guessed.

"I'm not too sure. Han and the Liu Fox Tribe haven't had much contact. I'm not too sure if they are experts in cultivating spirit grasses or not." Han Li shook his head.

A trace of disappointment appeared on Ye Luo's face when she heard this. She seemed unwilling to give up and asked, "Friend Han, can you tell me about the Liu Fox Tribe in detail?"

Han Li muttered to himself for a moment before telling her about his encounter with the Liu Fox Tribe in the Wildlands. He only left out the parts that involved him.

Ye Luo heard this and slowly nodded. Then, she became silent.

At this moment, Ye Susu flew in from the outside and handed a storage artifact to Han Li.

"Senior Han, the spirit grasses you want are all inside. Please inspect them."

Han Li took the storage artifact and scanned it with his divine sense. He nodded with satisfaction.

"In that case, we won't disturb Friend Han any longer. Thank you for telling me this, Friend Han." Ye Luo suddenly stood up and left with Ye Susu.

Han Li escorted the two out and closed the door behind him.

"What do you think of this Ye Luo Tribe Leader?

Did she mean what she just said? "Han Li stood there silently for a moment and suddenly asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, a door of light appeared beside him and the Weeping Soul Leader emerged from it.

"This Ye Luo Tribe Leader's soul is very pure. She isn't someone who doesn't mean what she says. I carefully examined the fluctuations of her soul when she spoke and didn't find anything out of the ordinary. She was telling the truth." The Weeping Soul Leader said after some thought.

"That's good. I didn't waste my Yuan Qi to help her expel the cold poison last night." Han Li said with a relaxed expression.

After the Weeping Soul Leader had awakened, her abilities had greatly increased. Not only could she see through a person's soul, but she could also sense whether someone was lying or not. This saved him a lot of trouble.

"Master, the Liu Fox Tribe that you mentioned to Ye Luo Tribe Leader, is it the Sky Fox Tribe that your little sister Liu Le'er belongs to?" The Weeping Soul Leader asked.

"That's right. I wanted to find out more about the relationship between the two." Han Li nodded.

"In that case, is the Green Fox Tribe really a branch of the Sky Fox Tribe?" The Weeping Soul Leader asked.

Han Li pondered for a moment before saying, "I once sensed the power of the Heavenly Fox Clan's bloodline from Hu San and the others. It is quite similar to the azure fox bloodline of Ye Susu and the others. Combined with the Patriarch Liu Mei I mentioned earlier, I believe they are most likely related."

The Weeping Soul Leader nodded. "The Liu Fox Tribe is indebted to you, Master. You're staying here in seclusion not only for peace and quiet, but also to provide protection for the Green Fox Tribe."

"This is only a temporary measure. I'll leave some benefits for them when we leave this place.

After this, I plan to go into seclusion right away. For some reason, I've been feeling uneasy lately, as if some kind of danger is approaching. I have to increase my power as quickly as possible. "Han Li didn't dwell on this issue for too long, and he immediately changed the topic.
