32: Tongmai Dan

"Senior Brother Yan!"

Chen Qi stepped forward, a brilliant smile on her face.

"Junior Sister, long time no see." Looking at Chen Qi, Senior Brother Yan smiled.

"Yes, it's been over half a year, Senior Brother Yan, you've traveled quite far this time." Chen Qi said.

Senior Brother Yan smiled: "No choice, Dark City is too far from Qingzhou, and I was delayed by some matters along the way."

"Dark City..."

Listening to their conversation, Han Li's eyes lit up slightly.

A Forbidden Ground of the Wu Dynasty, he had heard of this place.

"Is this the Junior Brother, Han Li?" At this moment, Senior Brother Yan's gaze turned to Han Li, sizing him up.

"Greetings, Third Senior Brother." Han Li immediately understood and came forward to bow.

"Junior Brother has abundant vital energy and very strong True Qi, not simple at all." Looking at Han Li, Senior Brother Yan said.

"Third Senior Brother overpraises me." Han Li smiled.

"Come, let me formally introduce you. This is Revered Master's third Disciple, and also my Third Senior Brother, Yan Qingfeng."

"Third Senior Brother, this is the new Disciple Revered Master has taken in, Han Li, Junior Brother Han." Chen Qi introduced them to each other.

Yan Qingfeng nodded, then said: "Come on, don't just stand there, let's go inside and sit."

After speaking, Yan Qingfeng turned and led the way, with Han Li and Chen Qi following closely behind.

Passing through the palace, the three quickly arrived at a courtyard behind the palace.

In the courtyard, there were rockeries, flowing water, and planted flowers and trees, creating a unique elegance.

Stepping into the courtyard and passing through an archway, the three arrived at a pavilion.

Yan Qingfeng waved his hand, and a flash of light appeared, revealing a tea set on the stone table in the pavilion.

Three cups of tea were poured, each placed before one of them.

"Junior Brother Han, don't be reserved, sit down. Just treat this place as your own home."

Yan Qingfeng said.

Han Li nodded and then sat down.

"Come, try the tea I brought from Dark City, it's a specialty there." Yan Qingfeng smiled.

Han Li and Chen Qi didn't stand on ceremony, picking up their teacups and taking a sip.

A warm sensation flowed through his body, and Han Li felt his True Qi increase slightly.

Between his lips and teeth, the tea aroma permeated, refreshing and invigorating.

Although he didn't understand tea, Han Li knew that this tea was definitely not an ordinary item.

"How is it?"

Yan Qingfeng smiled, looking at the two of them.

"Good tea, even better than Yunmeng Tea from Wu Capital. Senior Brother, give me a few catties." Chen Qi said.

Yan Qingfeng: "..."

"I didn't bring back much, Junior Sister, you're really asking for a lot." Yan Qingfeng rolled his eyes.

"Then you decide how much to give, but it can't be too little." Chen Qi said with a smile.

"Their relationship is good, very harmonious." Han Li watched their conversation, feeling a surge of emotion.

"Alright, I'll give you some later." Yan Qingfeng nodded.

"Junior Brother Han, drink up, don't be shy." Chen Qi turned to look at Han Li.

Han Li nodded, picked up his cup, and took a sip.

"Senior Brother Yan, now that you're back this time, you won't be leaving for a while, right?" Chen Qi asked while drinking her tea.

Yan Qingfeng: "Not for now, I plan to Cultivate and improve myself."

"That's great! Senior Brother, you can guide me, I feel like I've hit a Bottleneck." Chen Qi said.

"Alright, no problem." Yan Qingfeng nodded, then looked at Han Li, spreading his hand, and an exquisite box appeared in his palm.

"Junior Brother, this is a small gift from your Senior Brother, welcome to Yuhua Peak. From now on, we are family."

Han Li was slightly startled, looking at the small box in front of him, then at Yan Qingfeng: "Senior Brother, this..."

"Take it, otherwise, I won't have you as a Junior Brother." Yan Qingfeng put on a stern face.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yan." Han Li nodded, no longer being polite.

"Let me see what it is." Beside him, Chen Qi was curious, took the box, and opened it.

A Medicinal Pill appeared inside the small box.

The Medicinal Pill also had patterns, and a medicinal fragrance wafted out.

"This is a Meridian Opening Pill!"

Looking at the Medicinal Pill in the box, Chen Qi blurted out its name.

"Meridian Opening Pill..."

Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly.

He knew about this kind of Medicinal Pill, which was used when a Body Tempering Realm practitioner was trying to Breakthrough to the Vein Opening Realm.

He had seen it in the Medicinal Pill stores in the city; a single Meridian Opening Pill cost at least two hundred taels of gold, which was two thousand taels of silver.

It was twice as expensive as a Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Taking a Meridian Opening Pill greatly increased the chances of assisting a Cultivator in opening the Meridians within their body and achieving the Vein Opening Realm.

It was also very suitable for him now; once he reached the ninth level of Body Tempering Perfection, taking a Meridian Opening Pill would make the probability even higher.

At the same time, it also had the effect of strengthening the Meridians, so even if the Breakthrough failed, it would not cause damage to the Meridians within the body, as the medicinal power could protect against the damage caused by True Qi impacting the Meridians.

It could also expand the Meridians and strengthen the network.

It was an excellent Medicinal Pill.

"Indeed, it's very suitable for Junior Brother." Chen Qi glanced at it, then handed the box to Han Li.

Han Li accepted it.

He kept this welcoming gift in his heart, intending to repay it once he achieved something in the future.

"You, you need to work hard. If you continue to slack off, I'm afraid Junior Brother will catch up to you in no time." Looking at Chen Qi, Yan Qingfeng said.

"Senior Brother, once I Breakthrough this Bottleneck, I'll be fine." Chen Qi said.

"You said the same thing when I left." Yan Qingfeng took a sip of tea and said faintly.

Chen Qi: "..."

"Senior Brother Yan, what Realm are you in?" At this moment, Han Li asked from the side.

"Innate Realm First Level True Qi Realm." Yan Qingfeng replied.

"Innate Realm First Level..." Han Li nodded.

In his twenties, in the Innate Realm – this was already remarkable.

The profound gateway of martial arts.

The Innate Realm was the first major profound gateway.

This was also the first step of qualitative change, Cultivating to Innate Realm and stepping into the Transcendent.

At this step, many people struggled their entire lives and found it difficult to Breakthrough.

It was not just about resources, but also one's Innate talent and comprehension ability, all of which were very important.

"Senior Brother Yan, you should be close to Breaking through to the second level, right?" Chen Qi blinked, looking at Yan Qingfeng and asking.

"It's still early, Protective Aura is not that easy to Cultivate." Yan Qingfeng shook his head.

"I don't believe it." Chen Qi pouted.

Yan Qingfeng smiled, then stood up: "Alright, let's not discuss this anymore, come on, let's go eat first."

After speaking, Yan Qingfeng stepped out of the pavilion, and Han Li and Chen Qi immediately stood up, following him out of the pavilion... After the meal, Han Li also became much more familiar with Yan Qingfeng.

From Yan Qingfeng's words, Han Li also learned some of the outside world's situation.

For example, the Thunderous Ruins of Dark City.

This Forbidden Ground, even for Innate Realm experts, was full of danger.

Poisonous gas, swamps, and various powerful demons; in short, this place, without Innate Realm cultivation, it was best not to go deep, otherwise, the probability of death was at least ninety percent or more.

Besides the Thunderous Ruins Forbidden Ground, Han Li also learned about some other Forbidden Grounds in Kyushu.

From their words, Han Li generally understood the dangers of these Forbidden Grounds.

In addition to some external situations, Han Li also asked some questions about Cultivation, and the guidance he received enlightened him greatly.

It was dusk when Han Li and Chen Qi left Yan Qingfeng's Dao field together.

Returning to his residence, Han Li once again immersed himself in Cultivation.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Han Li held the Iron Plate, and infinite Spiritual Qi surged in like a storm.

The True Qi within his body also grew stronger little by little.

As his Cultivation deepened, a layer of frost gradually appeared on Han Li's body.

After three hours, reaching the limit of his endurance, Han Li sealed the Iron Plate again.

Swallowing a Tiger Soul Pill, Han Li once again began to Cultivate.

Divine Travel Eight Desolations!

This movement technique was just a little short of reaching Perfection, and Han Li was very curious about what kind of Divine Ability Divine Travel Eight Desolations would evolve into.
