Seeing that Li Hui was no longer alive, Yao Han stopped his practice and his internal energy returned to calm.

His Taoist robe was tattered during the fight, but he didn't suffer any serious injuries. His eyes were bright, and his back was straight.

Apart from using a few talismans at the beginning, he did not rely on any external aids in this battle. He relied entirely on the many unique skills he had cultivated since his rebirth, pushing them to their limits, which allowed him to fight for a slim chance of victory.

As for the fact that the opponent's main cultivation technique was actually the Three Ghosts Technique, it was indeed beyond his expectations. However, in the end, he still owed a lot to the Dragon Qi Technique.

As it turned out, the Dragon Qi Technique at the fourth level was even more outrageous than he had imagined. Just now, after Li Hui swallowed the Blood Pill, his aura had gone from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to almost the middle stage, but he was still suppressed by his copper skin and iron bones and had almost no power to fight back.

If it weren't for that drop of true dragon essence blood he obtained by chance, he probably would have had to wait until his cultivation reached the Foundation Establishment stage before he could reach the fourth level.

Otherwise, no matter how much Cao Li provoked him, he would never agree to this bet.

Unfortunately, opportunities like obtaining dragon blood are extremely rare and hard to come by.

He has been cultivating for over a hundred years, and this is the first time he has ever seen such domineering true blood. To have stumbled upon it by chance is already incredibly lucky.

If this drop of true blood were placed in an auction house, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it would fetch tens of thousands of spirit stones.

After calming himself down on the stage and processing all the gains from the battle, Yao Han turned around and leaped back off the stage along the way he came.

The moment his feet touched the ground, a group of people surrounded him. Leading them was Yao Ailan, a little girl with red eyes who rushed forward, her voice trembling with tears:

"Waaaaah... I'm so glad you're alright, brother. What would I do without you..."

Yao Han held her in his arms and affectionately patted her head.

Behind her, Song Zhiyu walked side by side with Zhou Yunli, their eyes filled with admiration for Yao Han, who even gave him a thumbs-up.

"Brother Yao's abilities are truly remarkable; Yunli is in awe!"

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Yao Han comforted Ai Lan for a few words, then looked up at the other cultivators who had gathered around.

These people included the old and the young, men and women, dressed in different ways and of different backgrounds, but they had one thing in common: their eyes were incredibly kind and friendly, and when they looked at him, it was as if they were examining a priceless treasure.

Yao Han opened his mouth, about to speak, but was interrupted by the crowd:

"Young man, your surname is Yao, right? I am an elder of the outer hall of the Lanque Sect in Fuzhou, Liang Kingdom. That battle just now was truly earth-shattering! With such outstanding talent, young friend Yao, you are sure to achieve great things in the future. I wonder if you would like to join my sect? I will personally introduce you to the Supreme Elder. At that time, you can choose from my cave dwelling concubines, magic treasures, and spirit stones. What do you say?"

"To fight a Foundation Establishment cultivator with your Qi Refining cultivation level, Senior's strength is truly unparalleled in my life. I am but a humble servant, the manager of the 'Lotus Herb Hall' in this market. All the famous alchemy shops on the Twelve Streets of the East Market are under my jurisdiction. In the future, if you have any needs, Senior, you can present this jade token to purchase pills at any of the alchemy shops on the Twelve Streets and receive a 50% discount!"

"Fellow Daoist, your body of copper and iron is truly enviable! Are you familiar with the 'Gathering of Righteousness Gang'? Although we are all independent cultivators, we are all men of honor and loyalty. And I'm not bragging, but whenever any secret treasure appears within the Liang Kingdom, our gang is always the first to know! If you agree, I will invite you into our gang, where we can drink, play cards, and explore secret realms together—wouldn't that be delightful!"

……

A crowd surged forward, and all sorts of messages came pouring in, leaving Yao Han momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

However, as a clear, melodious female voice rang out, all the sounds abruptly ceased:

"Fellow Daoist Yao, are you perhaps interested in my Water Moon Palace?"

Fang Tingyu walked leisurely in a streak of shimmering green light, descending gracefully from mid-air. Wherever she went, people made way for her, and everything around her paled in comparison.

The crowd fell silent, their gazes filled with awe and respect. This was not only because of her Foundation Establishment cultivation or the name "Fang Tingyu," but also because of her blue and white Daoist robe embroidered with water patterns and moonlight—the meaning of which was self-evident.

Water Moon Palace!

The Liang Kingdom's Supreme Sect, the Overlord of the Eastern Ridge—these are just some of the many titles it holds, but no one dares to deny its status in the Eastern Ridge. Compared to it, the Cao family of Lishan is utterly insignificant. This is the true pinnacle of power in the Qiantian Cultivation World, one that no one dares to offend or provoke!

After Fang Tingyu spoke, several sighs rang out from the crowd, and some even beat their chests and stamped their feet, knowing that they could no longer recruit Yao Han to their side—compared to the invitation from Shuiyue Palace, what were the resources in their sect?

Yao Han's eyes flashed, and he gently set Ai Lan down. He bowed to Fang Tingyu, his lips moving slowly and deliberately to convey his thoughts:

"I am deeply grateful for your kindness, Senior Sister. However, the reason I came to Jiuyin is actually to pay my respects to your sect, but I have not yet found a suitable opportunity."

"Oh? You've come to become my apprentice?"

Fang Tingyu blinked and replied telepathically:

"Which elder of the sect are you seeking, Junior Brother?"

"I am unworthy, but I have received the inheritance of your esteemed sect's senior, You Tian, ​​so I have come here specifically to try my luck in your sect."

Unexpectedly, Fang Tingyu's expression suddenly became very strange when she heard the name "You Tian". She looked away and her lips seemed to be slightly raised, as if she was suppressing a laugh.

What kind of expression is that?

Yao Han was completely confused and didn't know what she meant.

"Cough cough."

Fang Tingyu cleared her throat, took a deep breath, and then became serious:

"So it's Elder You Tian's legacy. Alright, I understand. Since you've been planning to become an apprentice for a while, that's perfect. This jade tablet has my divine sense imprint on it. Take it first. I have some miscellaneous matters to attend to in this market. Three days from now, you and your brother can wait for me in front of that inn. I will personally lead you into the sect."

"Thank you very much, Senior Sister!"

Yao Han was overjoyed and bowed respectfully again. He was worried about not being able to find a way to enter the sect, but with this Senior Sister Fang leading the way, the problem was finally solved.

"Well, I'll be going now. By the way, how are your spiritual roots and aptitudes, brother and sister?"

"Yao has both metal and water spiritual roots, while my younger sister has both fire and earth spiritual roots."

"Two dual-spiritual-roots! Excellent! Now those elders will fight tooth and nail over them. This is going to be a good show, haha~"

Fang Tingyu chuckled and waved goodbye to him.

Yao Han chuckled in surprise. This senior sister really loves watching the show!

Ai Lan glanced at Fang Tingyu, then at Yao Han, her eyes darting around, and suddenly transmitted her voice:

"Has my great-grandmother been found?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Yao Han's face darkened, and he flicked her forehead.

As soon as Fang Tingyu left, those who had been trying to recruit Yao Han became active again and continued to extend invitations—

The exchange between the two was witnessed by everyone. Although they didn't know what they said, it was almost certain that this person would join the Water Moon Palace. Even if they couldn't recruit him, it wouldn't hurt them to befriend a future Water Moon Palace disciple.

Yao Han responded with a smile, exchanging tokens with people from time to time. This humble attitude earned him praise from many people.

As a result, this went on for half an hour, until Alan was so sleepy that he was about to fall asleep before he finally said goodbye to everyone.

"Fellow Daoist Yao, this is the storage bag of that cultivator Li Hui from earlier."

Before leaving, the Water Moon Palace cultivator who was presiding over the Dharma assembly walked towards them:

"According to the rules, the estate of a deceased person should be entrusted to a relative or friend designated by that person, but he did not make such a designation when he signed the document. Fellow Daoist Cao Li, who was traveling with him, is also currently missing, so I'll leave it to you."

Yao Han nodded, did not refuse, and took the storage bag in his hand.

This was what he deserved, and no one dared to object.

"Alright, let's go."
