"Daoist Mo, the Floating Clouds Mountain Range is full of dangers now. Although your cultivation is not low, it is too dangerous to stay," Duan Yuzai said hurriedly.
Master Jing Yang and the others also nodded in agreement and tried to persuade her.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I once swore that I would stay in this Wild Crane Valley and wait for someone to come back," Mo Wuxue shook her head and said firmly.
Hearing this, Yu Ziqi's face suddenly turned pale and he lowered his head.
Han Li saw the subtle changes in their expressions. He frowned slightly but did not say anything.
It seemed that Yu Ziqi had already expressed his feelings to Mo Wuxue, but there seemed to be other emotional entanglements between the two.
Hot Flame Immortal and the other two looked at each other and did not say anything.
As outsiders, it was not appropriate for them to butt in when it came to matters between a man and a woman.
Mo Wuxue looked at Venerable Jing Yang and said, "I'll have to trouble Venerable Jing Yang to bring Venerable Yu to Mount Baizao and settle him down. His injuries haven't healed yet. He still needs to recuperate for a while."
Master Jing Yang was about to agree when he heard this.
"Since you don't want to leave, I will stay with you," Yu Ziqi suddenly stood up and said.
Mo Wuxue's eyes revealed a complicated expression. She lowered her eyelids and sighed faintly, but she did not say anything to refuse.
The other four looked at each other and did not speak for a while.
"Since the two of you have decided to stay here, it is not appropriate for us to say anything. Later, I will set up a layer of Mount Baizao's unique restriction outside Wild Crane Valley. I believe it will have some deterrent effect.
Please take care of yourselves, "Master Jing Yang said after a pause.
"Thank you, Daoist Jing Yang," Mo Wuxue said gratefully. She stood up and bowed to Master Jing Yang.
She chose to stay because she was not afraid of death. Mount Baizao's prestige had spread far and wide in the Black Mountain Immortal Domain. In the vicinity of Jukun City, no one dared to offend it.
With this layer of restriction, they would be much safer in the valley.
Yu Ziqi also hurriedly stood up and expressed his gratitude.
The few of them discussed for a while more before dispersing to prepare to leave. Master Jing Yang flew out of the valley and began to set up the restriction.
Mo Wuxue also got up and returned to his cave residence. Soon, only Han Li and Yu Ziqi were left.
Yu Ziqi stared at Mo Wuxue's back in a daze, and only withdrew his gaze after Mo Wuxue had entered the cave residence.
When Han Li saw this scene, he sighed inwardly at the other party's infatuation.
It was just that it wasn't appropriate for him to get involved in their relationship.
However, he still felt some warmth and friendship from these people that he'd met by chance. In the cruel world of cultivation, this was already extremely rare and precious, and this was also the reason why he was willing to lend a hand to these people.
Perhaps only by letting go of some of the desires, fame and fortune could one pick up some of the precious things that one had lost. However, it was also incompatible with this world and fleeting.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, take these pills. They should be of some help to your recovery." Han Li sighed inwardly. With a flip of his hand, he took out a storage ring and handed it over.
"I've received a lot of help from Fellow Daoist Li before. How can I accept your pills? This kind of injury will heal in a few years.
These pills are precious. Fellow Daoist should keep them in case you need them. "Yu Ziqi hurriedly declined.
"These pills are no longer of any help to me. Fellow Daoist Yu, you don't have to decline. The sooner your injury is healed, the sooner Fellow Daoist Mo can be at ease." Han Li placed the storage ring beside Yu Ziqi.
When Yu Ziqi heard this, he was silent for a moment. He didn't refuse anymore. With a depressed expression, he murmured, "In the end, it's because I'm not strong enough …"
"Fellow Daoist Yu, don't be discouraged. Your aptitude is not bad. It's not impossible for you to advance to the Golden Immortal Stage in the future." Han Li patted Yu Ziqi's shoulder and said.
"Perhaps, I'm indebted to you for your kindness." Yu Ziqi smiled bitterly.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, we'll part ways here. We'll meet again someday. Take care." Han Li's eyes flickered slightly. He cupped his hands towards Yu Ziqi and said.
"You're leaving so soon?" Yu Ziqi was startled and asked in surprise.
Han Li nodded silently. He turned and flew out of the valley.
Yu Ziqi watched Han Li leave. After a long time, he retracted his gaze and picked up the storage ring. When his spiritual sense entered it, he was stunned.
Other than some healing pills, there was a Zhong Gu Pill that could stabilize one's dantian and several other pills that could assist in advancing to the Golden Immortal Stage.
With so many precious pills, it was enough to help him cross the bottleneck to the Golden Immortal Stage.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I will never forget this kindness … If I don't die from this calamity, I will definitely repay this kindness." Yu Ziqi held the storage ring tightly as he turned and walked towards the cave abode.
…
Han Li flew out of the Wild Crane Valley. Master Jing Yang was standing outside the valley as if he was waiting for him.
"Fellow Daoist Li, are you leaving so soon?" Master Jing Yang greeted him.
"Yes, since I have to leave sooner or later, I would rather leave earlier than later." Han Li responded with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Li, are you really not interested in entering Mount Baizao?
If you have any requests, feel free to tell me. "Master Jing Yang seemed to be unwilling to give up and asked again.
"Thank you for thinking highly of me, Fellow Daoist Jing Yang. However, compared to joining a force, I prefer freedom." Han Li smiled faintly.
"Sigh, when I saw your eyes from the beginning, I knew that you were a person who pursued freedom. Since everyone has their own aspirations, I won't force you." Master Jing Yang picked up the wine pot and gulped down a mouthful of wine. He shook his head with a bitter smile as if he had finally given up.
Han Li stood with a smile and did not speak.
"However, you and I are good friends. The competition between the deputy mountain masters of Mount Baizao is extremely intense. If there is anything I need your help with in the future, you can't decline," Master Jing Yang said honestly and bluntly.
"Of course." Han Li nodded.
"That's good.
Oh yes, there is one more thing that I'm afraid I will have to disappoint you. You previously asked me to find a way to expel the baneful aura. Although I have already instructed others, I still haven't found it, "said Master Jing Yang.
"It's alright. How can it be so easy to find a way to expel the baneful aura? I will have to trouble Fellow Daoist Jing Yang to continue searching for it. I still have something here that I would like to trouble Fellow Daoist Jing Yang to help me collect it." Han Li was slightly disappointed as he spoke.
"Oh, what is it? Just tell me," said Master Jing Yang.
"Anything that contains the power of the law of time. It doesn't matter if it's a material or an immortal artifact," said Han Li bluntly.
Previously, he had added eight time law crystal threads, and the time dao pattern on the Truth Treasure Wheel's recovery speed had increased again. Now, it had completely recovered.
The recovery speed of the Truth Treasure Wheel's dao pattern was secondary. He wanted to see if the increase of the time dao pattern would have any effect on the Sky Bottle's shuttle.
"An item that contains the law of time …" Master Jing Yang's eyebrows twitched as he muttered to himself. Then, he raised his hand and took out an item. It was a pale golden lock.
An incomparably strong fluctuation of the law of time radiated from the pale golden lock. It was far stronger than the Time Teapot, Green Wooden Ruler and other items that Han Li had previously obtained.
Han Li looked at the golden lock and his eyes immediately lit up.
"This is a time law immortal artifact. Although it's only Grade Nine, it contains the three supreme laws. Its value is comparable to a Grade Seven immortal artifact.
I borrowed 80,000 Immortal Essence Stones from you previously. Now that you are leaving, it's not good for me to continue delaying this debt. I will use this golden lock as compensation. "A trace of reluctance flashed in Master Jing Yang's eyes as he handed the golden lock to Han Li.
"Grade Nine immortal artifact?
Could it be that immortal artifacts are divided into grades? Why haven't I heard of it before? "Han Li took the golden lock. He was delighted at first, but then he asked in a daze.
"Fellow Daoist Li doesn't know about this?
Only Primordial Unity Realm cultivators know about these things. "Master Jing Yang was slightly surprised. Then, he smiled and said.
"Although the quality of the treasure itself is sufficient and it contains the power of law, it can be called an immortal artifact. However, there is a huge difference between immortal artifacts.
Our Hundred Creation Mountain has nine grades based on the amount of the power of law contained in the immortal artifact. The lowest is Grade Nine and the highest is Grade One. This golden lock is a Grade Nine immortal artifact. "Master Jing Yang paused and continued.
"This golden lock contains such a strong power of the law of time, yet it is only a Grade Nine immortal artifact. Then, most of the immortal artifacts used by Immortals are not graded?" Han Li asked in surprise.
"Indeed. Graded immortal artifacts are very precious. Generally, only Primordial Unity Realm cultivators can get them. Fellow Daoists below the Primordial Unity Realm have non-graded immortal artifacts. After all, for cultivators below the Golden Immortal Realm, it is not easy to get one or two handy immortal artifacts. Why would they care about the grade?" Master Jing Yang smiled.
"I see. Thank you for your advice." Han Li nodded and looked at the golden lock in his hand.
The power of the law of time contained in this item was extremely strong. However, in terms of the power of law, there were not many immortal artifacts that could compare to it. Not to mention using it to compensate for the 80,000 Immortal Essence Stones, he was willing to add another 20,000 Immortal Essence Stones.
Master Jing Yang's action was obviously to rope him in.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yang, using this treasure to compensate for the 80,000 Immortal Essence Stones is a bit of a loss. However, this treasure is indeed what I need. I will not decline it. Take it as I owe Fellow Daoist Jing Yang a favor." Han Li kept the golden lock, looked deeply at Master Jing Yang and said solemnly.
"Haha, it is not a favor. With Fellow Daoist Jing Yang's words, it is enough." A smile flashed in Master Jing Yang's eyes. Giving the golden lock was indeed a favor.
He understood Han Li's character. The more one did not speak lightly, the more one would value his promise. With Han Li's identity as a Heaven Alchemy Master, he would definitely be of great help to him in the future.
The two chatted for a while more before bidding farewell to each other.
Just as Han Li was about to fly away, a voice appeared in his mind. "No matter where you go, Fellow Daoist Jing Yang, don't ever use the Fire Leaf Sect Elder's token that I gave you again."
His body suddenly stopped and looked towards the Wild Crane Valley. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The voice just now belonged to Hot Flame Immortal Supremacy.
There was no one in Hot Flame Immortal Supremacy's cave abode. There was only a faint fluctuation of space, which soon disappeared completely.
Although there was a restriction in Hot Flame Immortal Supremacy's cave abode, it could not stop his Demon Eyes of the Nine Secret.
