A mortal, starting with the Heavenly Bottle!

Although he was completely bewildered and confused, Lin Fan still obediently left.

Therefore, the first thing I did upon returning to Huangfeng Valley was to find Xiang Zhili.

Inform the other party what happened.

In fact, even if this matter were exposed, his life would not be in danger, and Lei Wanhe would be able to protect him.

It will only affect the relationship between the two factions, and in the future, they may be targeted or schemed against by a certain cultivation family.

"Do you know what happened?"

"Uncle-Master, you've come to the right person. Other disciples might not know, but I happen to have seen relevant records. The Zhao family of the Hidden Moon Sect possesses two top-tier cultivation techniques. One is for collateral descendants, and the other is for direct descendants. The one you encountered, Uncle-Master, should be a direct descendant of the Zhao family. Their technique contains a secret method that allows one to gather their primordial spirit into a mark upon death, silently merging it into the other's body. This primordial spirit mark can only be removed by a cultivator one realm higher. Now that the primordial spirit mark within you has been removed, Uncle-Master, there's nothing to worry about. You can rest assured."

Lin Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing Xiang Zhili's words and nodded.

"So that's how it is. I didn't discover that he had planted this primordial spirit mark on me during our battle? Their family's cultivation method is truly extraordinary!"

"Uncle-Master, there are countless strange and wondrous cultivation techniques in the cultivation world. This skill is nothing special. There are even more bizarre techniques and secret arts, which you can't even imagine. However, Uncle-Master is indeed very lucky to have met an elder of the Hidden Moon Sect who personally helped you remove this primordial spirit mark. It's truly enviable."

Xiang Zhili's words were filled with envy.

"I would rather not have this opportunity, but in any case, I still want to thank Senior Brother Xiang. Otherwise, I don't know how many classic texts and ancient books I would have had to search to find this information. Here are ten spirit stones as your reward. Remember, you must not tell anyone about this."

Lin Fan took out ten spirit stones, placed them on the table, and gave a reminder.

Of course, he also believed that Xiang Zhili wouldn't tell anyone.

Because the other party wouldn't care about such a trivial matter at all; Xiang Zhili's only goal was the Crimson Forbidden Land.

"Thank you, Uncle-Master. Thank you, Uncle-Master."

Xiang Zhili's eyes lit up as he picked up the ten spirit stones from the table and thanked them repeatedly.

He appeared very excited, but Lin Fan knew very well that it was definitely fake.

Lin Fan then took his leave, showing no intention of continuing the discussion.

After Lin Fan left, Xiang Zhili put the spirit stones into his storage bag.

He continued consulting the ancient texts in his hands, as if the incident had never happened.

After returning to his cave, Han Li continued to cultivate the Thunderwood in his herb garden.

This pleased Lin Fan greatly, and he then went about his own business.

The most important thing right now is cultivation. His cultivation speed isn't particularly fast; it's just average at best.

But things are different now.

Now, he no longer lacks spiritual herbs and can refine more elixirs to improve his own cultivation level and strength.

The relationship between Lin Fan and Han Li was very strange. Although they were fellow disciples, Lin Fan knew very well that Han Li wished he could extract his soul, tear him to pieces, or kill him to silence him.

Unfortunately, Han Li does not yet have that strength, and if he were to perish, his secret would be immediately exposed.

At that point, even if Han Li wanted to run away, he wouldn't be able to.

Since he's going to die anyway, at the very least he should drag Han Li down with him.

In short, someone has to be buried with him, otherwise, wouldn't his death have been in vain?

As for Han Li's original identity, he didn't care at all; what he cared about was being able to attain immortality and become a celestial being.

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the course of the year, the controversy surrounding Han Li gradually subsided.

This allowed Han Li to breathe a slight sigh of relief, mainly because Han Li basically did not have any contact with others. Every day, apart from staying in Lin Fan's cave, he would study magic.

After cultivating all the medicinal herbs and spiritual medicines that Lin Fan had instructed him to do, Han Li directly told Lin Fan that he was going to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Refining Foundation Establishment Pills is not something that can be done in a short time, so you need to pay close attention. Here are some of my experiences in alchemy; you can take a look, I believe they will be helpful to you. Also, here is a jade token; you can keep it so you won't be given any difficulties."

Upon hearing Han Li's request, Lin Fan did not make things difficult for him and directly took out the prepared jade tablet and jade slip and handed them to Han Li.

Han Li naturally accepted the gift and expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you, Martial Uncle!"

"Alright, go ahead. I wish you a speedy success in establishing your foundation."

Lin Fan simply nodded and then urged them on.

"Yes, disciple takes his leave."

Upon hearing this, Han Li immediately bowed, took his leave, and departed.

After Han Li left, Lin Fan's expression turned rather unpleasant.

Because he knew that if nothing unexpected happened this time, Han Li would definitely be able to successfully establish his foundation.

Suppressing Han Li again will be a difficult task then.

Thinking about this, Lin Fan felt a headache coming on.

Even though he now has quite a few spiritual herbs in his herb garden, enough to refine them into pills.

However, it is still somewhat difficult to improve one's strength in a short period of time.

"What a hassle!"

Taking a deep breath, Lin Fan finally decided to focus his efforts on enhancing his strength through the "Great Evolution Technique".

Although it is not possible to achieve mastery in a short period of time, it still provides some assistance in condensing the Golden Core.

That's enough!

As for how to exchange with the other party?

Lin Fan had already made up his mind.

-

A moment later, Lin Fan arrived at a lush mountain forest, where there was a group of flat houses.

This is where newly initiated disciples live. Once they have achieved some success, they can move out.

It's currently in a rotation period, so not many people are coming in.

Lin Fan then arrived at a house that was slightly larger than the others.

"Senior Brother Lin, I've come to see you again, and this time I've brought you something really good."

As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking with a laugh, the front door of the house opened directly.

Lin Fan then went inside without any hesitation.

The room was very spacious, but also very messy.

However, Lin Fan didn't care and instead focused his gaze on an old man.

At this moment, the old man is carving a piece of wood.
