Unintentional Act

A short while later, Qi Yunxiao and Xiao Mei accompanied Xin Ruyin out of the woods and walked towards Han Li.

"Thank you so much for coming to my rescue, senior. I am deeply grateful!" Xin Ruyin said generously after bowing slightly to Han Li.

Han Li glanced at the other party briefly, then waved his hand politely and said.

"Miss Xin, there's no need for such formality. It was just a small favor!"

At this moment, Xiaomei also noticed that Li Yunfan had disappeared, so she asked him curiously.

"Senior, where is the other Senior Li? Has he already left?"

Qi Yunxiao finally shifted his gaze from Xin Ruyin and, seeing that Li Yunfan was indeed not there, asked curiously.

"Senior Han, Senior Li, he..."

Han Li waved his hand, interrupting Qi Yunxiao, and then explained to the three of them.

"Fellow Daoist, don't worry, Senior Brother has some matters to attend to and will be back shortly."

When Xin Ruyin heard the group mention Senior Li, a look of curiosity appeared in her eyes. After quietly asking Xiao Mei beside her, she learned that it was Senior Li who had previously exchanged ideas about formations. Upon learning about the relationship between the two, she felt extremely grateful to them.

She thought that the senior in front of her had come to rescue her because of Senior Li's sake.

About half a cup of tea's time later, Li Yunfan returned from the other side of the woods with a smile on his face.

With the increased spiritual strength he gained after completing the second level of the Great Evolution Technique, he was able to cast the Soul-Trapping Technique much faster and with a significantly higher success rate. He successfully extracted the souls of three of the eight corpses, achieving a success rate of nearly 50%.

Upon seeing Li Yunfan return, Xin Ruyin immediately bowed to him again and expressed her gratitude.

"I never expected to see Senior Li again in such a state. I am deeply grateful for your help!"

"Fellow Daoist Xin, you're too kind. We've known each other for a while, so it's impossible for me to stand idly by. Besides, it was my junior brother Han Li who made the move, so I didn't help at all," Li Yunfan said with a smile and a shake of his head.

Just as Xin Ruyin opened her mouth to say something, Han Li suddenly interrupted her.

"Senior brother, these people probably have some background. We should leave this place as soon as possible. If their elders are nearby, it will be troublesome!"

"Junior brother is right, let's leave here as soon as possible!" Li Yunfan nodded and then released the Cloud Piercing Boat.

His Cloud Piercing Boat was larger than Han Li's Divine Wind Boat, so it didn't feel too crowded for five people to stand on it.

Just after everyone boarded the Cloud Piercing Boat, Li Yunfan leaped onto it, lightly stepped on it, and the Cloud Piercing Boat soared into the sky, instantly flying away from the place.

However, what Li Yunfan didn't expect was that his impulsive act would actually save Qi Yunxiao from a calamity in the future.

It turned out that when the Fu family discovered that their disciple's soul had been extracted, their first thought was that it was some kind of demonic cultivation technique. They assumed that it was a disciple of one of the six demonic sects of Yue Kingdom who had come to Yuanwu Kingdom to do such a thing, so they did not send anyone to investigate within Yuanwu Kingdom.

However, that's a story for later. At this moment, Li Yunfan and the others, under Xin Ruyin's guidance, were already flying towards the northwest of Jinma City.

After flying for several hours, they finally saw the seemingly ordinary mountain ahead.

Led by Xin Ruyin, Li Yunfan and his companions finally stopped in front of a group of bamboo houses halfway up the mountain. Xin Ruyin then invited the three of them into one of the larger bamboo houses, while she and Xiaomei went to another bamboo house to wash up and change.

Before long, Xin Ruyin finished washing and dressing, changed into a clean white dress, and walked in with a unique charm.

"I am deeply grateful to the two seniors and Brother Qi for coming to my rescue this time. I will offer you all a cup of tea instead of wine to express my gratitude!" Xin Ruyin took several cups of tea from Xiaomei and then offered a cup to each of the three of them.

Qi Yunxiao was so happy to see his beloved serving him tea that he drank it all in one gulp, and then just grinned foolishly.

Li Yunfan smiled, took a small sip, and then placed the teacup on the table.

Han Li took a small sip, put down his teacup, and said nothing more.

Seeing Qi Yunxiao's appearance, Xin Ruyin shook her head helplessly, and then started chatting with Li Yunfan and Han Li, seemingly trying to find out their true identities.

However, although Li Yunfan saw through the other party's intentions, he did not want to tell her. Han Li was not naive enough to reveal their secrets, so he just looked around and talked in circles with her.

"Senior Li, Senior Han! I have already promised that if you can save Yin'er, I will definitely repay you with a generous gift. I also have some array flags and array plates that I have refined before. Why don't you two take a look and see if you are satisfied?" Qi Yunxiao finally came to his senses from his infatuation and then said to Li Yunfan and the other person.

Han Li did not immediately agree upon hearing this. Instead, he glanced at Li Yunfan, who was not particularly interested in Qi Yunxiao's reward. So, with a slight movement of his lips, he began to transmit his thoughts directly in front of Xin Ruyin and the others.

Seeing this, Xin Ruyin and Qi Yunxiao were somewhat surprised, but they didn't say anything and just waited silently.

"I have a matter I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Xin for help with. If you can help me resolve this matter, there is no need to mention any reward. On the contrary, I am willing to give Fellow Daoist Xin an eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herb to cure the illness." After Han Li ended his telepathic communication with Li Yunfan, he suddenly said something that surprised Qi Yunxiao and Xin Ruyin.

When he first met Qi Yunxiao, the other party mentioned needing a spiritual medicine to cure a friend's illness. Now, judging from his attitude towards Xin Ruyin, he could guess the general idea.

After hearing Li Yunfan's telepathic message, he was even more certain of his guess, which is why he said he would give away the spiritual medicine.

"Senior is willing to give up the spiritual medicine?" Qi Yunxiao stood up abruptly after hearing Han Li's words, asking with a mixture of surprise and delight.

Xin Ruyin, who was involved in the incident, was initially very excited, but when she thought of Han Li's request, her excitement faded. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, what he needed help with was definitely not a simple matter.

"Please tell me what you need me to do, senior. As long as it doesn't violate morality or conscience, I, Ruyin, will definitely agree to help!" Xin Ruyin finally spoke after thinking it over and over again.

As she spoke, her bright, clear eyes stared directly at Han Li, as if afraid he would make a request she couldn't agree to.

Han Li smiled slightly upon seeing this, not avoiding the other party's gaze, and spoke quite frankly.

"Fellow Daoist Xin, there's no need to be so tense. I simply wish to ask for your help in repairing an array. If you succeed, I will gladly offer you spiritual medicine!"

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin breathed a sigh of relief, as she was quite confident in her ability to repair the formation.

"Don't worry, senior. If it's just about repairing the formation, there's naturally no problem. Ruyin will do her utmost to restore it!"

Han Li then took out the jade slip engraved with an ancient teleportation array and handed it to Xin Ruyin, but did not tell her what kind of array it was.

Xin Ruyin took the jade slip, and with a single glance, she recognized the formation and exclaimed in surprise.

"An ancient teleportation array?"
