In the desolate mountains of northern Jianzhou, at the command of the Foundation Establishment Master, dozens of people dressed in yellow robes dispersed and sat down.

Han Chao deliberately chose an inconspicuous corner, and before he could even sit down on the cushion he had pulled out, he heard an old voice ring out not far away: "Junior Brother Han Li, I am Xiang Zhili. Tomorrow's mission in the forbidden area is a matter of life and death. How about we team up?"

The courtesy of Xiangzhi?

This old man is definitely up to no good. Han Chao rolled his eyes inwardly; he was on guard against this old guy.

So as soon as he got off the carriage, he found a corner, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes, looking like he was cramming for battle and wouldn't pay attention to anyone. Therefore, even Han Li didn't come over to disturb him.

"Sorry, I already have teammates." Han Li decisively refused Xiang Zhili's offer.

This made the old man look sullen. He glanced at Chen Qiaotian, who looked like a troublemaker, and then pulled the blond-haired boy with an admiring expression toward another easy-going disciple.

Han Li glanced at Han Chao and saw that his relative, whom he had met later in life, showed no intention of teaming up with him. A strange feeling arose in Han Li's heart.

He was finding it increasingly difficult to understand his older brother.

When they first met, he was a novice in the cultivation world, with only a superficial understanding of cultivation. But after two years in Huangfeng Valley, he has come to know the difficulty of cultivating pseudo-spiritual roots.

He himself was one thing, but with such a heaven-defying item as the little green bottle, it took him two years to go from the ninth to the eleventh level of Qi Refining.

And this Brother Han actually increased his Qi Refining level from the eleventh level to the thirteenth level in just two years! Not long ago, in the Array Pavilion, Han Chao was only at the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

In just a few dozen days, he advanced another level! This was something he couldn't even do with the little green bottle! But everyone has their own secrets, and Han Li wasn't one to be curious. Didn't he also have the little green bottle himself?

However, Han Chao also had some items that Han Li was interested in. He touched the array plate and array flags that he had kept in his sleeve, and a look of envy appeared on his face. This array, which could be set up at will, was his greatest reliance during his trip to the forbidden area, besides Tian Lei Zi and Chen Qiao Tian.

"After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, I still need to find a way to obtain some higher-level ones." With a foolproof plan in mind, Han Li slowly closed his eyes.

Time flew by and it was already the next day.

Urged on by their Foundation Establishment senior uncle, the group gathered again on the mountaintop. After waiting for several hours, they couldn't help but curse inwardly when the other sects finally arrived.

First to arrive were the disciples of the Qingxu Sect dressed in Taoist robes. They descended from the sky together on a starry river, using the Qingxu Sect's flying magic weapon - the Snow Rainbow Silk.

After landing, the leader, a Core Formation cultivator, started arguing with Li Huayuan, making it clear to everyone that the two were close, albeit mischievous, friends.

"Isn't this Brother Huayuan? Shall we play another round?" Fuyunzi said with a beaming smile, clearly having won last time.

"You old fox, trying to scam me again?" Li Huayuan sneered, determined not to fall for it. "No betting, absolutely not this time."

"That's a pity. I didn't expect Benefactor Li's standards to have risen so high that he wouldn't even be interested in the Bloodline Flood Dragon's inner core!"

Once the demon beast's inner core was revealed, Li Huayuan was immediately led by the nose. He, who had just said he wouldn't gamble, couldn't wait to send his disciple into the Crimson Forbidden Land so he could immediately fight the Taoist priest and quickly obtain the demon beast's inner core.

"The bet is on the Bloodline Flood Dragon's inner core. Tell me, which of my treasures have you set your sights on this time?" Li Huayuan glanced at the Qingxu Sect disciple, and after comparing their strengths, he asked indifferently.

"Hehe." The old Taoist priest chuckled slyly, rubbing his fingers together, and said something that almost made Li Huayuan jump up: "It's nothing, just two more pieces of the same iron essence."

"What? You think I'm a wholesaler?"

"Oh, if you don't want to gamble, then forget it. Anyway, when the people from Spirit Beast Mountain arrive later, we can probably exchange them for a lot of good stuff." The old Taoist shook his head and deliberately waved the demon beast's inner core in front of Li Huayuan.

Upon hearing the name Spirit Beast Mountain, Li Huayuan's face twitched. After a long while, he slowly extended a hand and coldly said, "Follow the same rules as last time."

"Of course, everything as usual!" The old Taoist priest was overjoyed and quickly stretched out his hand to make a bet with Li Huayuan.

With a snap.

They managed to slap their hands, but the result turned Li Huayuan and the old Taoist priest pale.

"Hehe, add me to the bet too."

The sudden appearance of an old monster robbing them left Li Huayuan and the old Taoist priest somewhat dissatisfied, but they had no choice but to accept it.

The reason, of course, is that the cultivation world values ​​strength above all else. The two of them combined couldn't defeat this old man, so they couldn't go back on their word.

Moreover, even Core Formation cultivators covet the Invisible Needle Talisman Treasure.

Just as they were pondering their chances of winning, a series of exclamations rang out from not far away.

"Look! It's the Heavenly Moon Divine Ship of the Hidden Moon Sect!"

Han Chao quickly looked in the direction of the exclamation and saw a white dot of light flashing on the horizon, rapidly approaching the mountaintop.

Its speed was extremely fast; in just a few breaths, it reached the sky above the mountaintop.

Even if the wooden boat could fly, it was nothing special to Han Chao. What kept his eyes glued to the Shenzhou was the beautiful men and women on board.

Especially the female disciples, each one of them was charming and beautiful, and any one of them was better than the girls in the videos I watched in my previous life with beauty filters.

Moreover, these women didn't know how to restrain themselves. Being skilled in dual cultivation, they constantly showed flirtatious expressions to the male disciples around them.

Even Han Chao himself, because of his handsome appearance, was constantly stared at with fiery gazes by several female disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect. Their expressions were as if they wanted to devour Han Chao at any moment.

Han Chao could only shake his head helplessly. It's true that handsome people are easily coveted, unlike Han Li, who was plain and unremarkable and had no female disciples flirting with him.

Of course, he wasn't idle either. He took the opportunity to look around at the female disciples, glancing back and forth several times, but he still couldn't find Nangong Wan.

"This was hidden incredibly well."

Han Chao felt somewhat helpless. He had wanted to see how beautiful Nangong Wan was beforehand, but he couldn't tell at all.

"Well, it seems I'll just have to wait and see." He sighed and turned his gaze away.

Han Chao was determined to win over Nangong Wan; otherwise, his claim of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage would be inexplicable. For the sake of his own life, he had no choice but to intercept Nangong Wan. In any case, this woman wouldn't have many opportunities to appear with Han Li, so it was better to let him have her.

After the arrival of the Hidden Moon Sect, it took a while before the other four sects finally arrived one after another.

In the crowd, Han Chao spotted Han Yunzhi, who looked at everyone with a wary expression, like a little rabbit.

Thinking of the adorable scene of the girl punching him back then, Han Chao couldn't help but grin at her.

The girl clearly remembered Han Chao, her cheeks flushing red. Perhaps because her brother wasn't there, she lacked confidence. This time, she didn't raise her delicate little fist at Han Chao, but instead nodded timidly. Under the stern shout of a bearded man, her expression turned pale and she dared not look up.

Seeing this, Han Chao narrowed his eyes. He was sure that the bearded man was doomed.
