......

"As expected, it is that old ghost's keepsake."

The Sixth Elder stood up from the stone chair, and the token slowly floated into his hand.

After examining it closely, he looked again at the ordinary-looking young man in front of him.

"Han Li, at such a young age, has already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. His foundation is solid, and he knows how to conceal his strength. Not bad, not bad..."

Han Li was about to bow and express his gratitude.

But then, the Sixth Elder changed the subject.

"Could it be that you are Old Man Shi's nephew?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Sixth Elder quickly denied his point of view.

"No, you're plain-looking, you're definitely not that old ghost's son. Although that old ghost is not as good-looking as me, he was quite handsome when he was young."

Upon hearing this, Han Li staggered and almost lost his balance.

"Your senior has keen insight."

Han Li reluctantly offered a flattering remark.

"Alright, enough with the flattery."

"Speak, you've come here with Old Man Shi's token. What do you need my help with?"

The Sixth Elder sat back down on the stone chair, his eyes gleaming.

Peak Foundation Establishment, could it be...?

"This junior has come here today... hoping to seek an opportunity to form a Core Formation."

Han Li spoke calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.

"The opportunity to form the Golden Core is exactly as I expected..."

The Sixth Elder tapped the armrest of the stone chair lightly with his index finger, producing a dull sound.

The room fell silent for a moment.

After a moment, the Sixth Elder slowly spoke:

"This Core Formation spirit object is not a difficult thing for me."

"However, there are currently several people in the Star Palace waiting in line to form their core. If we forcibly insert you into the first queue, I'm afraid the other old ghosts will harbor resentment..."

The Sixth Elder's words echoed in the room, the surrounding walls gleaming with a cold metallic light.

Han Li did not respond upon hearing this.

If all else fails, we'll have to think of another way.

But judging from the Sixth Elder's words, there seemed to be a hidden meaning.

"If there are any requests, as long as they are within Han Li's capabilities, this junior will certainly not refuse."

Han Li pondered for a moment and then said.

"Haha, very good, Nephew Han is indeed clever!"

Upon hearing Han Li's words, the Sixth Elder laughed heartily; he always enjoyed talking to intelligent people.

"Cough cough."

The laughter hadn't lasted long when the Sixth Elder started coughing violently again, instinctively clutching his chest.

"Damn those demons! Damn that Yin Island!"

"My Star Palace will fight you to the death!"

A thunderous roar echoed throughout the room, and a wave of energy emanated from the Sixth Elder, causing the entire wall to tremble.

Han Li quickly lowered his head, seemingly unaware of everything.

Demon race? Extreme Yin Island?

Could it be that giant monster from Kui Xing Island?

Han Li had a slight guess in his mind, but he did not speak.

After a moment, a flash of spiritual light appeared on the Sixth Elder's body, as if he had quickly suppressed his injuries and returned to normal.

But the atmosphere had lost its initial relaxed and pleasant feel.

"Okay, I promise you."

"However, I have one request."

The Sixth Elder said in a deep voice.

"What are your requirements? Please tell me, senior."

Han Ping was extremely respectful and showed no sign of overstepping his bounds.

"Once you reach the Core Formation stage, you must join the Star Palace!"

A glint flashed in the Sixth Elder's eyes as he spoke, word by word.

Upon hearing the Sixth Elder's words, Han Li immediately froze on the spot, unable to react for a moment.

Join the constellation?

The benefits are obvious.

As the largest force among the human race in the Chaotic Star Sea, it has clear channels for advancement and abundant resources.

If one develops within the Star Palace, there is a possibility of achieving Nascent Soul in the future!

However, the drawbacks are equally obvious.

The affairs of the Star Palace are complex and hierarchical; joining it would certainly impose many restrictions.

However, I still have some very important things to deal with.

Han Li unconsciously thought of Chen Qiaoqian and Yuan Yao.

Besides this, he has many secrets.

Once leaked, it will cause endless trouble!

They would then be hunted down by all the cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea.

Han Li was left with no choice but to sit at the same table as the demonic beasts.

Thinking of this, Han Li looked up, preparing to refuse.

"I'm afraid I cannot agree, simply because..."

Han Li had only spoken halfway when the Sixth Elder's expression turned cold, and he interrupted him.

"Alright, no need for further words, it's settled then."

"When you work under me, I will definitely not let you handle trivial matters. I will assign you tasks myself. With my protection, you will not suffer any grievances."

The Sixth Elder's face remained cold, but he was secretly overjoyed.

Because Han Li's first consideration wasn't whether he could successfully form his core!?

For most cultivators, the first thing they care about is the chance of forming their core.

Moreover, having been recruited by the Star Palace, they had already eagerly agreed.

How could anyone refuse?!

If Han Li were to agree directly, the Sixth Elder would look down on him.

To my surprise, Han Li refused outright!

The more you refuse, the more I want it!

"But..."

Seeing the Sixth Elder's domineering attitude, Han Li frowned slightly, preparing to say something.

Before he could finish speaking, another cold voice rang out from inside the room.

"There's no need to mention this again!"

Han Li looked up and saw the Sixth Elder's cold eyes.

His words were full of an air of absolute certainty.

"This junior obeys."

Left with no other choice, Han Li finally had to agree.

For now, we can only get through this crisis first.

Fortunately, with Shi Kun as his guarantor, it seems that the Sixth Elder and the Star Palace will not harm him.

"Alright, go ahead. Tomorrow, someone will deliver the Dust-Clearing Pill, Snow Spirit Water, and Heavenly Fire Liquid to your residence."

"You must prepare carefully for the formation of your core, and do not disappoint my expectations."

The Sixth Elder's authoritative voice rang out again, and he waved his hand, signaling Han Li to leave.

However, Han Li did not leave immediately.

"What, is there something else?"

Behind the mask, the Sixth Elder's expression was slightly furrowed.

"Sixth Elder, on my way to Tianxing City, I passed by Dongxing Island."

"The Lord of Dongxing Island, Liu, once asked me to deliver this item to the elder."

A flash of light appeared in Han Li's hand, and a cyan jade pendant appeared out of thin air.

The jade pendant was crystal clear, and it was carved with dragon and phoenix patterns. It slowly floated towards the Sixth Elder.

"This is......"

The jade pendant slowly floated into the Sixth Elder's hand. Even through the mask, Han Li could tell that the Sixth Elder's expression was somewhat unnatural.

The Sixth Elder subconsciously reached for his waist.

Perhaps because Han Li was present, the Sixth Elder glanced at him and quickly adjusted his posture.

"Ahem, Han Li, you did a great job."

The Sixth Elder coughed twice and offered a casual compliment, seemingly to cover up his embarrassment.

"It is an honor for this junior."

"Um, how is Island Master Liu now?"

The Sixth Elder asked, his tone seemingly urgency.

"This might be because the elder personally sent someone to inquire about it."

Han Li gave a nonchalant reply.

Nonsense! Your lover, and you're asking me?!

Is this appropriate?!

"well."

"I see!"

The Sixth Elder replied, straightening his posture and regaining his former majesty.

"Now that the goods have been delivered, I shall take my leave."

Han Li slowly left the room.

Just as he was about to pass through the dark door, the Sixth Elder's voice suddenly called out to him.

"Wait!"

"Is there anything else, senior?"

"Our way of addressing each other is too formal. From now on, just call me Uncle Li."

Han Li remained silent for a while after hearing this.

"Uncle Li?"

Han Li tried calling out.

"Alright, you can go now."

Upon hearing Han Li call out, the Sixth Elder waved his hand, and Han Li immediately walked towards the door.

......

"You brat."
