Chapter 488 Dilemma
Han Lian clearly expressed her attitude, causing the atmosphere in the cave to freeze for a moment. In particular, Venerable Han Xiao deeply realized that her disciple was already a Nascent Soul cultivator. Although he called her Master, he was already qualified to be on equal footing with her.

Han Lian glanced indifferently at Hao Miaoling below her, then stood up and said:
“Master, this matter was done inappropriately by Junior Sister Hao. I will go and apologize to Ranxi first. However, she said she would sell the formula for the breakthrough potion to the Extreme Cold Sect and she will never go back on her word. If the elders have made a decision after discussion, they can send me a message at any time.”

After saying that, he cupped his hands in greeting to Han Xiao and left his master's cave.

After Han Lian left, Han Xiao frowned and asked:

"Miaoling, who encouraged you to go looking for Ranxi?"

Hao Miaoling, without daring to raise her head, said:
"Master, please calm your anger. It was I who took it upon myself to approach Venerable Ranxi. I overheard my fellow disciples discussing this in the Disciple Hall, and learned about the existence of breakthrough potions. Moreover, Senior Sister Hanlian was able to break through because of this potion. They said that if the Extreme Cold Sect had this potion, it would definitely be able to cultivate more Nascent Soul cultivators, so I..."

Han Xiaozhi raised her hand to interrupt:

"You don't need to take all the blame on yourself. Tell me who's talking about you. Say their names."

Hao Miaoling looked up abruptly after hearing this and said:
"Master, they were just talking casually; they weren't necessarily saying it specifically to me."

Han Xiao said coldly:

"I will make my own judgment and will not wrong them. Just tell me their names."

Hao Miaoling pursed her lips, and finally said the names of several fellow disciples. Then she returned to her residence dejectedly, because her master said that she would handle the rest.

Han Lian had already returned to the guest peak and saw Ran Xi, Yun Chen, and Xun Kun drinking in the courtyard. She walked over and sat down, poured herself a cup of spirit wine, and without waiting for the three to invite her, she held it to her nose, smelled it, said "good wine," and drank it all in one gulp. Then she poured herself a second cup.

Ranxi raised her hand to block it, saying:

"Hanlian, this is a spirit wine brewed from a thousand-year-old snow lotus flower. It has a strong aftereffect, so drink it slowly."

Han Lian nodded, this time taking only a sip before setting down the wine cup, and then solemnly said to Yun Xi:
"Ranxi, I'm sorry! I was unaware that the sect had such plans."

Yunxi waved her hand dismissively and said:
"It's alright. I anticipated this situation. Even if it's not the Extreme Cold Sect, there would be other sects. As I said before, if the Extreme Cold Sect wants to buy a medicine formula, they can just pay with spirit stones. As for whether they can collect all the spiritual plants and demonic plants needed to refine the breakthrough medicine, I'm not responsible for that."

"Of course, out of respect for you, I'll help the Extreme Cold Sect refine a breakthrough potion for free. This promise is valid as long as I'm alive."

Han Lian cupped her hands in a respectful gesture towards Yun Xi and said:
"Thank you! They don't know how rare breakthrough potions are. We saw it with our own eyes. Your entire portable herb garden of various high-level spiritual plants was completely consumed in this way. Not to mention yourself, it pained us to see it!"
There were many spiritual and demonic plants that had disappeared from the Weiyu Realm, and in the end you couldn't even save the seedlings, while these people..."

Xun Kun saw that Han Lian was indeed ashamed and angry about the sect's actions, so he continued with the following words:

“Fellow Daoist Ranxi is very righteous. If I were in Ranxi’s position, I don’t think I would have done better than her. At least I would have kept some for myself in private so that I could persevere to the end.”

"Amitabha! Fellow Daoist Ranxi made the greatest contribution in this battle and deserves the greatest credit. We are ashamed to admit our inferiority."

Yun Chen greatly admired Ran Xi. She did not give up even under such difficult circumstances, and even used her own spirit stones to support the remaining cultivators to fight to the end. Otherwise, they would not have had any chance of leaving the sealed land alive.

Ranxi smiled faintly and said:

"I only did what I could. Being able to leave alive is the result of our collective struggle, especially the fallen cultivators from various regions. Their sacrifice paved the way for our departure. They are the ones who should be remembered the most. Respect to them!"

The three nodded after listening, and then said in unison:
"Respect to them!" After that, the four of them confirmed the specific departure time and returned to their respective residences.

After returning to the courtyard where she was staying, Yunxi took out a jade slip and sent a secret signal to Xiao He, whom she hadn't contacted in a long time. She had something she wanted to ask Xiao He.

It wasn't until the next morning that Yunxi received Xiao He's reply. Upon seeing the address, Yunxi raised an eyebrow, then vanished from the guest peak of the Extreme Cold Sect without alerting anyone.

Yunxi changed her face, put on a newly bought white cloak, suppressed her cultivation to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, stood in front of an inconspicuous two-story teahouse, looked at the two words "Tea House" on the signboard, and then stepped inside.

The waiter greeted him with a smile and said:

"Please come in, sir!"

“I made an appointment with a friend, and he said he would wait for me at room A.”

"Yes, esteemed guest, please follow me to the second floor."

The waiter at the teahouse courteously led Yunxi to a private room on the second floor, served her the spiritual tea she had ordered, and then politely withdrew.

Yunxi released her divine sense and found that the small private room was decorated in a very simple and rustic style. In addition to the antique-style tables, chairs and tea sets, there was a painting on the wall, which was a picture of a waterfall. There was an octagonal pavilion by the pool where the waterfall fell, and a person was standing in the pavilion, seemingly admiring the scenery in front of him.

"interesting."

Yunxi whispered something, and in a flash, she entered the painting.

The next moment, she appeared in the pavilion, and the man who had been admiring the scenery turned to look at Yun Xi, his expression changing as he said:

"What are you doing here? Who sent you to see me?"

Yunxi looked at Xiao He, whose face was cold and stern, and touched her cheek, saying:
"you know me!"

Xiao He frowned. He didn't know what was wrong. Why was Hao Miaoling the one who came to see him? Was this a test, or had the evil cultivators discovered his cooperation with the Daoist cultivators?
These thoughts flashed through Xiao He's mind. He moved swiftly, ready to take down Hao Miaoling in front of him. He had to find out how she knew he was here. His cooperation with the Daoist cultivators could not be known to a third person, otherwise he would only have one way out: death. He might even be refined into an evil puppet.

Yunxi simply moved her feet to avoid Xiao He's attack. She wiped her face, and her "Jade Face" became transparent again, revealing her true appearance.

"Xiao He, wasn't this the meeting place you chose? Why did you start a fight as soon as we met?"

Upon seeing the familiar face, Xiao He abruptly stopped, his lips twitching as he said:
“Venerable Ranxi, you almost scared me to death. I thought my whereabouts had been discovered by the evil cultivators.”

Yun Xi smiled slightly and said:

"What are you afraid of? The evil cultivators' plan to target the Five Regions Grand Competition has failed, so they shouldn't be able to attend to you for the time being."

After speaking, Yunxi took the lead and sat down at the stone table in the octagonal pavilion. Then she beckoned Xiao He to sit down as well, and then asked:

"What brings you to the Northern Region?"
