reminds Han Li

Han Li saw the displeasure on Li Yunfan's face, but he was secretly pleased.

"Brother Li, please don't be offended. It's just that the Ascension Token is far too valuable, and I only met you by chance back then. I really didn't dare to say much. I believe that if it were you, Brother Li, you certainly wouldn't have told me either," Han Li said with a smile, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

Li Yunfan glanced at Han Li and saw him looking at him with a smile on his face, his eyes completely calm.

"Brother Han's words make sense. If I were in Brother Han's situation, I would naturally also keep it as a secret in my heart," Li Yunfan said with a sigh.

They then smiled at each other and raised their cups together to take a sip of tea.

"Judging from your attire, Brother Li, you must have already successfully joined the Yellow Maple Valley. Why do you still have time to come here to find me?" Han Li asked, putting down his teacup.

Seeing that Han Li had finally gotten to the point, Li Yunfan pretended to ponder for a moment before speaking with a slight frown.

"Brother Han, since you possess the Ascension Token, the valley will naturally accept you into its sect. However, the Foundation Establishment Pills they will give you..."

Han Li was startled. Could there be some other unexpected event?

"What do you mean by that, Brother Li?"

Li Yunfan sighed and said, "Brother Han, I guess it won't be long before a Foundation Establishment manager from the valley comes here to find you."

"The Foundation Establishment Manager is looking for me? Could it be..." Han Li's mind raced as he guessed the meaning behind Li Yunfan's words.

Li Yunfan nodded and said, "That's right, his goal is your Foundation Establishment Pill!"

Han Li frowned, saying incredulously, "Is he going to try and take it by force? Would Yellow Maple Valley allow such a thing to happen?"

"Of course not, but what if the other party wants to exchange?"

Han Li was taken aback. Exchange Foundation Establishment Pills?

"I guess the other party will most likely ask you for an exchange. As for what they will use, I don't know, but it shouldn't be too much of a loss for you, otherwise it would be difficult for the sect leader to explain..." Li Yunfan looked at Han Li with a meaningful gaze.

Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering to himself.

Seeing Han Li deep in thought, Li Yunfan didn't disturb him, but instead picked up his teacup again and began to sip his tea.

After a moment, Han Li took a deep breath, and his expression returned to calm.

"Thank you for reminding me, Brother Li. I know what to do now!"

Seeing this, Li Yunfan couldn't help but nod inwardly. As expected of the cunning Old Devil Han...

"Brother Han, you're too kind! Although we haven't known each other for long, I feel an instant connection with you and consider you a friend. Now that I've learned of this matter, I naturally had to come and remind you."

Looking at the sincerity in Li Yunfan's eyes, Han Li felt a warm current flow through his heart.

Since the incident with Doctor Mo and his departure from the Seven Mysteries Sect after saying goodbye to Li Feiyu, he has closed himself off and is now cautious and suspicious of everyone who comes into his life.

But now, Li Yunfan made him feel a long-lost sense of familiarity, and his guard against him gradually decreased.

Although they hadn't reached a truly intimate level of friendship, at least at this moment, he genuinely considered Li Yunfan his first friend in the sect.

The two chatted for a while before Li Yunfan finally got up and left.

"By the way! If Brother Han decides to exchange the Foundation Establishment Pill, it would be best if you could offer something that can be exchanged immediately..." Li Yunfan said meaningfully.

Han Li was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded in realization.

"I have taken your words to heart, Brother Li!"

Seeing this, Li Yunfan finally smiled and left the Yingbin Building.

After returning to his cave dwelling on Xuankun Mountain, Li Yunfan sat cross-legged on a futon and began to calmly consider his next plans.

Since leaving his family, he has been thinking about how to proceed with his future.

Getting close to Han Li and becoming acquainted with him is the first step; joining Huangfeng Valley is the second step.

It has been implemented perfectly so far, but what should we do next?

"Now, there are only a dozen or so years left before the demonic invasion... By then, Han Li will be making a hasty retreat. Huangfeng Valley will also leave Yue Kingdom and settle in Beiliang Kingdom..."

Thinking of this, Li Yunfan couldn't help but sigh deeply.

He was unwilling to stay in Huangfeng Valley indefinitely, after all, Ancestor Linghu didn't have much lifespan left, and once he passed away, the strength of Huangfeng Valley would definitely be greatly weakened.

Without a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, the resources that the sect can obtain will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Now that he possesses the "Fire Spirit Body," his cultivation speed is almost the same as that of a Heavenly Spirit Root. As long as he has a continuous supply of cultivation resources, he is not guaranteed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but at least his probability is much higher than that of ordinary cultivators.

"Or... should I go to the Chaotic Star Sea with Han Li?" He then shook his head, rejecting the idea.

"No, that place is even more chaotic than Tiannan, with a large number of demons entrenched there. Even Han Li almost lost his life several times. I'd better play it safe..."

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Li Yunfan's mind, as if he had just realized something.

"Oh right! How could I forget that? I can go to the Luoyun Sect in Xi Kingdom! Didn't Han Li also want to join the Luoyun Sect after returning from the Chaotic Star Sea?"

A smile crept across Li Yunfan's lips as he inwardly praised his own wit.

"However... how to leave Yellow Maple Valley is a problem..."

After a moment, Li Yunfan rubbed his temples to relieve the stuffiness in his head.

"Forget it, I'll wait until I break through to the Foundation Establishment stage before considering how to leave. After all, I'm just a low-level Qi Refining cultivator right now, so improving my cultivation level is more important!"

After thinking it over, he took out a bottle of pills from his storage bag at his waist, intending to first raise his cultivation level to the peak of Qi Refining.

As for Foundation Establishment, if there are no other opportunities, he can only wait until Han Li comes out of the Blood Forbidden Trial and then ask him for a few Foundation Establishment Pills. With the one he has, he should be able to break through successfully.

And so, Li Yunfan cultivated in the cave for two months.

During this time, Han Li successfully joined Huangfeng Valley, and a few days later, the old man surnamed Ye approached him and proposed exchanging Foundation Establishment Pills.

Thanks to Li Yunfan's reminder, Han Li not only directly obtained a large amount of spirit stones and spiritual herbs from the old man surnamed Ye, but also retained the right to choose miscellaneous tasks.

Han Li went from being a poor, independent cultivator to a sect disciple with a huge fortune.

On this day, a Foundation Establishment cultivator who looked like a middle-aged scholar piloted a flying boat towards Xuankun Mountain.

It didn't stop flying until it reached the back of the main mountain of Xuankun Mountain, where it hovered in mid-air. After a moment, it slightly changed direction and flew towards a certain place on the mountainside.

Li Yunfan was sitting cross-legged on a futon, his eyes slightly closed, cultivating the Yang Flame Technique.

His face was flushed red, and he looked like a furnace, constantly radiating heat.

After two months of cultivation, he has mastered the Yangyan Technique to the final level and reached the peak of Qi Refining. He is only one step away from entering the perfect realm.

Just then, he suddenly heard a strange male voice in his ear.

"The one living inside is Junior Nephew Li Yunfan. The sect leader has ordered me to take him to the main hall. Junior Nephew Li, you should stop your cultivation and come with me!"

Upon hearing this voice, Li Yunfan frowned and opened his eyes.

"Is the sect leader looking for me?"
