Chapter 1222

Wu Yang nodded after hearing Han Li's words. He looked at Han Li with approval.

"Let's talk about business," said Jiao San. "Let's talk about Jin Tong first.

Han Li looked at Jiao San and asked, "Before that, let me tell you about Jin Tong. You should know about him, right?"

"I can only tell you that Jin Tong is fine for now. We know where he is being held. As long as you complete your mission, we will tell you where he is and provide you with the necessary help," said Jiao San.

"So, completing the mission is the condition for you to tell me where Jin Tong is?" asked Han Li with a frown.

"Fellow Han, we are not trying to threaten you with this. In reality, your mission is only one of the most important parts of the mission. Once you complete it, we can carry out the follow-up plan. Only with the follow-up plan will you have the chance to save Jin Tong," Jiao San calmly said with a straight face.

"What is my mission?" Han Li asked after a long silence.

"The Celestial Emissary of the Heavenly Court has arrived at Jiuyuan City. I believe the Selection Conference will be held soon. We want you to participate in the Selection Conference and fight for a spot to attend the Bodhi Banquet," said Jiao San.

"Fight for a place … How is the selection going to be conducted?" asked Han Li.

"There are a total of 100 places for the Bodhi Banquet. Jiu Yuan Temple, Mount Bai Zao, the Golden Origin Immortal Realm, and the Life Moon Alliance will take most of the places.

Only ten to twenty places will be left for the other sects in the Golden Origin Immortal Realm to fight for.

You will need to fight against the other participants and fight for a place among the remaining places, "said Wu Yang.

"Therefore, the most difficult part of the selection is that you must win while concealing your identity and obtain a Bodhi Badge in the end." Jiao San added.

"How is that possible?

I don't have much of a reputation in the Golden Essence Immortal Domain, but there are many people who recognize me. I saw Chi Meng and Ingenious Spell Immortal Lord in the city just now, and if I were to participate in the selection, they'd definitely be able to identify me right away. When that time comes, I won't even be able to save myself, let alone Jin Tong, "Han Li said with a shake of his head.

"Don't worry, Friend Han. I gave you the black mask to deal with this," Jiao San said.

"How do we deal with it?

Although this item is very effective in concealing one's aura and changing one's appearance, once I start fighting, my cultivation technique and immortal spiritual energy aura will also be seen by others. This can't be changed. "Han Li frowned.

"If you think that's all the mask has, then you're underestimating it.

After wearing this mask, you can absorb a portion of the celestial spiritual energy and aura of others. After fusing it with your own body through a secret technique, you can achieve the level of passing off the fake as the genuine one.

As long as you don't use the Law of Time, even a late-stage Zenith Heaven cultivator might not be able to detect you, "Jiao San said.

"Even so, I'm not from the Golden Origin Immortal Domain. I'm afraid I'm not qualified to participate in the selection, right?" Han Li said.

"Don't worry about that. Your identity has already been arranged. You will participate in the selection as an elder of the Manifestation Mountain Sect," Wu Yang said.

Han Li had heard of the Manifestation Mountain Sect before. It was one of the few medium-sized sects in the Golden Origin Immortal Domain that did not join the Life Moon Alliance, excluding the super sects like the Nine Yuan Temple. They were quite powerful, but there were no rumors that they were related to the Samsara Temple.

"So this Manifestation Mountain Sect is a spy that the Samsara Temple planted in the Golden Origin Immortal Domain?" Han Li asked.

"Sort of, but only a few people in the Manifestation Mountain Sect know about this.

This time, their sect leader, Zhou Xianyang, will personally lead the team to participate in the selection. They are already stationed in the sect's courtyard in the west of the city.

When the time comes, you just need to wear this token and go find him. He will know what to do, "Jiao San said.

With that said, he took out a white jade and handed it over to Han Li.

Han Li took the jade and stroked it for a moment before asking, "What is the goal of your mission?"

"You don't have to think too much about it, Friend Han. You just need to do your part and we will tell you where Jin Tong is and how you can save her," Jiao San said.

When Han Li heard this, he pondered for a long while before silently nodding.

Then, Jiao San reminded him about the things he should take note of in Jiu Yuan City and left with Wu Yang.

"You have received many opportunities from the Ancestor, learned the Five Elemental Fantasy Skill, and helped the Zhen Yan Sect to injure the traitor, Qi Mozi. You are already half a disciple of the Zhen Yan Sect. Since you are my senior, I will give you a gift," Wu Yang suddenly said.

Then, he turned his wrist and a golden inkstone flew out and landed in Han Li's hand.

Before Han Li could refuse, the two of them had already disappeared from the courtyard.

Han Li held the golden inkstone in his hand and carefully examined it. There was an engraving of a crouching yellow ox with its eyes closed in slumber. The lines were smooth and its appearance was simple and honest. It appeared extremely lifelike.

He injected some Celestial Spiritual Force into the inkstone and a golden ripple appeared on it. The ripple emitted waves of the Power of Law of the Earth Elemental. It looked very powerful and was at least a Fifth Grade Celestial Weapon.

Han Li was overjoyed. He looked at the inkstone again and saw that there was no mark on it. He was not in a hurry to refine it, so he put it in his storage bracelet.

Then, he waved his hand and a silver door appeared in front of him.

Han Li strode through the gate of light and arrived at the Flower Branch Paradise.

He came to a room on the second floor of the bamboo building and saw the Weeping Soul sitting on the bed with its eyes closed. Its face was pale.

Lan Yan, who was standing by the window of the bamboo building, saw Han Li and immediately came up to him.

She bowed and said, "Friend Han."

"How is it?" Han Li saw that her complexion wasn't good, but his eyes faintly glowed.

"The Soul Planting Ceremony was very successful. My brother's soul has been planted into the Dream Dutchman's Pipe. He only needs to rest for a while.

The Weeping Soul, on the other hand, is exhausted … "Lan Yan said guiltily.

Han Li glanced at the Weeping Soul, then at a black basin on the round table in the room.

Inside the round pot, there was a pot of loose soil that was dark red in color. On top of it, there was a strange flower stem with a black stem. There were seven black leaves on it, and a layer of silver crystal light floated above it. At the top, there was a fist-sized white flower bud. There seemed to be fluorescence inside, flickering between bright and dark.

Han Li swept his spiritual sense through the flower and immediately sensed Lan Yuanzi's aura.

"This is a matter of the soul, so don't be careless. If there's anything you need help with, feel free to ask," Han Li said.

Lan Yan hurriedly said, "I'm already extremely grateful to Fellow Daoist Han and Fellow Daoist Weeping Soul for helping me to this point, so I don't dare to have any other extravagant hopes. I only hope that I'll be able to repay you in the future."

When Han Li saw this, he didn't say anything else. He only spoke a few words of comfort before turning around and leaving.

… …

The west of Jiuyuan City was the intersection of several rivers that passed through the city. The terrain was relatively low, but it was flat and open.

Because of the distribution of water, the vegetation here was dense, and the scenery was unique. In the Great Golden Origin Immortal Domain, many middle-level sects spent a lot of money here to buy a piece of land to set up their sects.

As one of the top mid-tier forces in the Great Golden Origin Immortal Domain, the Prominence Mountain Sect was naturally no exception. They occupied an area in the west of the city where the water system was the most concentrated and had the most beautiful scenery. They built a huge Prominence Mountain Courtyard.

On this day, outside the gate of the Prominent Mountain Sect Courtyard, a handsome young man in snow-white clothes waved a folding fan in his hand as he came to the gatehouse.

The gatekeeper saw that the young man had a dignified appearance and extraordinary temperament. He couldn't see through the depth of his cultivation, so he tactfully didn't make things difficult for him and obediently passed on the message.

After waiting for a long time, an old man in a plain robe with a long beard came out of the hall.

When the old man heard the gatekeeper's words, he thought that it was a big shot who had come to visit. But when he came to the door, he found that it was a good-looking young man. Judging from the aura of his cultivation, he was only at the Middle-stage of Golden Immortal. He was a little annoyed.

"Is it you who wants to see our sect master?

Unfortunately, the sect master isn't in the courtyard today. If you have something to say, why don't you tell me first? When the sect master comes back, I'll pass on the message. How about it? "But the old man was good at keeping his composure. When he arrived at the door, his expression didn't change.

When the young man heard this, he frowned slightly. He held a piece of white jade in his hand and gently rubbed it. He said, "Since you're not the sect master, I can't talk to you. Let your sect master see me."

This young man was none other than Han Li.

When the long-bearded old man heard this, his eyes flashed fiercely. He was obviously a little angry.

"Why? Do you think that my cultivation is too low and not qualified for him to see me?" Han Li frowned and asked.

Without waiting for the old man to answer, his aura suddenly changed and suddenly skyrocketed. In the blink of an eye, he reached the Middle-stage of Primordial Immortal.

When the long-bearded old man saw this, his expression changed again and his face was full of shock.

It was not a big deal to be able to suppress one's aura, but it was really rare to see someone like the person in front of him who could suppress his aura so naturally and naturally.

"It turns out that it's Senior. It's my fault." The long-bearded old man hurriedly cupped his fists and said.

At the same time, he silently transmitted a message in his heart, telling the courtyard to be prepared to prevent enemies from visiting.

"Don't worry, I don't have any bad intentions. I just have some matters to discuss with your sect master.

I know he's in the courtyard. How about this, you take this token of mine and he'll see me when he sees it. "Han Li sighed and said.

When he finished speaking, he handed over the jade in his hand.

"Yes, Senior. Please wait here for a moment." The long-bearded old man hurriedly took it and said respectfully.

When he finished speaking, his figure flashed and he rushed to the courtyard at top speed.

Not long after, a white light flashed from the courtyard and a burly iron tower-like giant emerged from it. His square face was filled with a warm smile as he greeted Han Li.

"Friend Han, long time no see, haha …" The iron tower-like giant's voice was so loud that the gatehouse trembled slightly.
