After a while, the Weeping Soul frowned, and the crimson crystal thread flew back into its vertical eye.
Elder Xitang's remnant soul flashed with crimson light, and it completely dissipated.
"How is it?" Little White asked curiously.
"This guy held back when he self-detonated. Most of the memories in his consciousness have dissipated, and the remaining memories are incomplete. However, the parts related to Qu Lin are still clear.
Come to think of it, they're not targeting Qu Lin alone, "the Weeping Soul said with a frown.
"What do you mean?" Han Li asked.
"According to his memories, the Heavenly Court seems to be searching for cultivators with special nomological powers. Qu Lin's true body is Golden Immortal Devouring, and he cultivates the rare Nomological Laws of Devouring. That's why they're targeting him," the Weeping Soul said.
"Does he know why they're capturing these cultivators?" Han Li asked.
"Elder Xitang's memories don't contain any information about this, so he most likely doesn't know either. He's probably just following orders," the Weeping Soul said.
When Han Li heard this, he wore a pensive expression.
The Weeping Soul turned its wrist, and a black storage bracelet appeared in its palm. After refining it, it began to search through its contents.
"Hehe, it's still in my hands in the end."
Not long after, the Weeping Soul took out the black ghost flute from the storage bracelet and played with it for a while.
At this moment, Lan Yan suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "Friend Han, Fellow Daoist Weeping Soul, I have a request …"
The Weeping Soul was a little surprised to see this, and it took a step back.
Han Li knew what Lan Yan wanted, so he didn't move and accepted her bow.
"You want Fellow Daoist Weeping Soul to save Lan Yuanzi with a soul secret technique, right?" Han Li's gaze fell on her.
"Please help me, Fellow Daoist Weeping Soul … I'm willing to do anything," Lan Yan begged in a trembling voice.
The Weeping Soul frowned slightly and turned to look at Han Li.
Han Li didn't say anything. He only nodded at her and transmitted a few words to her.
The Weeping Soul Beast pondered for a moment before replying, "It's not impossible for me to help you, but I've never done something like this before, so I can't guarantee that I'll be able to help you."
Lan Yan raised her head to look at the Weeping Soul Beast, and a hint of hesitation flashed through her eyes.
But it didn't take long for her expression to become firm once more, and she said, "I'll be eternally grateful if Fellow Daoist Weeping Soul is willing to save me. As for whether I'll be able to succeed, that'll be up to the heavens."
"Alright, since you said so, I'll help you.
You should know what to do if my master requires your assistance in the future, right? "the Weeping Soul Beast asked with a nod.
"I've already said it before. No matter what, even if you want my life, I won't hesitate," Lan Yan said solemnly.
"Daoist Qu Lin, what are your current plans?" Han Li asked.
"The reason why I came to the Great Gold Origin Celestial Realm is because I sensed the aura of my own kind. Even though I nearly died, I have no intention of leaving just like that.
After recuperating for a while, I will continue on my way to Jiuyuan City, "Qu Lin said.
"In that case, you and I are going the same way. Why don't we go together?" Han Li asked.
Qu Lin didn't speak immediately after hearing this, and he began to ponder.
Han Li didn't say much, and he just waited for the answer. For someone like Qu Lin, who was overly suspicious, the more he tried to persuade him, the more likely it would have the opposite effect.
"Master, why did you invite him? He looks like a wolf, and I'm afraid it's not good to have him by our side." Xiao Bai frowned slightly, and she transmitted her voice in confusion.
"The reason why this fellow appeared here must be because he was attracted by Jin Tong's aura.
With him by our side, it'll be much more convenient to find Jin Tong's traces in the future, "Han Li replied.
"So it's for Boss. Then there's no problem." Xiao Bai nodded inwardly.
"If we travel together, it'll be easier for us to take care of each other, but if there are too many of us, it'll be easy for us to be exposed.
Moreover, Chi Meng already has a way to find my traces. Isn't Friend Han afraid of being implicated by me? "Qu Lin seemed to be choosing his words carefully, and he asked tentatively.
"Fellow Qu, you don't have to worry too much about this. If you travel with me, you just need to hide in my cave treasure, and I guarantee that Chi Meng won't be able to find you." Han Li smiled.
"If that's the case, I'll really have to trouble Friend Han for a bit and travel with you," Qu Lin said.
"That's good. There are many formations in my cave space, and it's not convenient to move around. Fellow Qu Lin can stay in the bamboo house to rest and recuperate. I hope Fellow Qu Lin can forgive me," Han Li said.
"It's fine, it's fine." Qu Lin immediately nodded.
Han Li waved his hand, and a silver door of light appeared in the void. The door directly faced the Spiritual Medicine Garden, and it was the room on the second floor of the newly built bamboo house.
Qu Lin cupped his fists and bowed, and he stepped into the room.
After entering the room, he looked around and found that the room was full of spirit Qi, and there seemed to be a restriction formation set up in the surroundings.
These spell formations naturally wouldn't be able to stop him, but if he were to attempt to destroy them, Han Li would immediately detect it. With the strength that Han Li had displayed so far, even Qu Lin couldn't guarantee that he would be able to defeat him.
With a thought, he walked to a soft couch in the room, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to meditate.
After closing the silver door of light, Han Li turned to look at the Weeping Soul Beast, and asked, "Lan Yuanzi's soul is incomplete. Do you have a way to help him?"
"I have a secret technique that can nurture his soul, but it will take a lot of time. Once his soul is complete, he can find another body to possess," the Weeping Soul Beast said.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Weeping Soul Beast," Lan Yan said with tears of joy.
"If you want to thank someone, thank my master," the Weeping Soul Beast said.
"Thank you, Friend Han."
Lan Yan hurriedly bowed and said.
Han Li was about to speak, but he suddenly sensed something. With a wave of his hand, the silver door of light reappeared, and inside the door was the original bamboo house in the branch space.
"Weeping Soul Beast, take them back to the cave to rest. I'll leave the matter of nurturing Lan Yuanzi's soul to you," Han Li said.
The Weeping Soul Beast nodded and walked into the light door.
Lan Yan glanced at Han Li, and also walked into the main building. Little White followed behind her.
After they left, Han Li closed the silver door of light. With a twist of his wrist, he took out a red mask from the Samsara Temple and covered his face.
With a burst of crystal light on the mask, a crimson light curtain was projected in front of him.
In the light screen, a graceful figure appeared.
Han Li looked over and immediately recognized that the figure was none other than Jiao San.
"Fellow Jiao San, you finally contacted me." Han Li looked at Jiao San and let out a sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry, I've been too busy recently, so I didn't contact Friend Han until now.
Eh, Friend Han's strength has improved greatly. Could it be that you've reached the Zenith Heaven Realm? "Jiao San said with a look of surprise in his eyes.
"Fellow Jiao San, how did you see through my cultivation?" Han Li's eyes flashed as he asked.
"I've been taught a Qi Observation Technique by a senior. I can roughly determine a person's cultivation through their image and expression. It's just a small trick, so I won't say it.
May I know where Friend Han is now? "Jiao San smiled and changed the topic.
"I've entered the Great Golden Origin Celestial Realm because I have something to do."
Han Li recalled Jiao San's warning to him. After a moment of silence, he did not lie and told the truth.
"It's fine. The situation in the Great Golden Origin Celestial Realm is different from before. It's fine for you to come," Jiao San said with a smile when he saw Han Li's hesitation.
Han Li's eyes flickered. From Jiao San's words, she seemed to be in the Great Golden Origin Celestial Realm.
"Fellow Jiao San, have you contacted Han about the mission?" Han Li calmed himself down and asked.
"That's right.
Where is Friend Han in the Great Golden Origin Celestial Realm?
Can he reach Jiu Yuan City in 30 years? "Jiao San asked with a serious expression.
"No problem." Han Li calculated the distance between Gold Gilt City and Jiu Yuan City and nodded.
"That's good.
One more thing. Since Friend Han has reached the Zenith Heaven Realm, please keep this item. "Jiao San said as he waved his hand.
A black light flashed in the Transfer Spell Formation and a black mask appeared. It was the same mask that Han Li was wearing. The name on it was Dragon Fifth.
"The Samsara Palace's masks are blue, green, red, and black. They represent our status in the Samsara Palace. The black mask is the symbol of a core member of the Samsara Palace," Jiao San said.
"The Samsara Palace intends to promote Han to a core member?" Han Li asked as he took the black mask.
"The Palace Master has long heard of Friend Han's name and has always wanted to meet him. However, he has been busy and has never found the opportunity. However, he has long wanted to promote Friend Han to a core member.
Being promoted to a core member is no small matter. One must be talented and have made great contributions to the Samsara Palace in order to have a chance.
Friend Han was able to reach the Zenith Heaven Realm in such a short period of time, so he is naturally talented. However, he is lacking in contributions. The Palace Master originally wanted to promote Friend Han after the mission at Jiu Yuan Temple is over. However, we are going to Jiu Yuan Temple next. There are many experts there and there are even Dao Ancestors of Jiu Yuan there. Using a red mask to hide one's aura might not be safe, so he made an exception and asked me to give this black mask to Friend Han to ensure his safety. After the mission at Jiu Yuan Temple is over, he will officially promote him, "Jiao San said quickly.
"Samsara Palace Master!" Han Li's heart skipped a beat.
He had heard of this Samsara Palace Master for a long time. To be able to create a huge organization like the Samsara Palace that dared to challenge the Heavenly Court, he must be a powerful person. His cultivation must be unfathomable. He might even be a Dao Ancestor.
Han Li was actually quite nervous when he heard that such a person had been paying attention to him.
"Thank you, Palace Master and Fellow Jiao San, for your kindness."
After thanking them, he extended his Divine Will and probed the black mask. His eyes immediately lit up.
Although the black mask was in his hand, when he probed it with his Divine Will, it felt illusory. It was as if the mask was not in his hand at all.
He was delighted. The black mask's ability to hide one's aura was much better than that of the red mask. It must have been very difficult to make. Who knew how many treasures had been used? It was indeed worthy of a core member's identity.
