Han Li listened carefully, silently thinking, "Indeed, they've finally gotten to the point!" Yet on the surface, he looked utterly astonished, saying, "The spirit body—my disciple hasn't seen any spirit body at all. Could it be that Master Lin's spirit body detached just before his passing?" Han Li had already made up his mind: as soon as the other asked about his spirit body, he would have to explain that the very person who intended to absorb his spirit body had, in fact, had his own spirit body extinguished by him. "Not seen?" The plump man stared at Han Li with a look that was both amused and skeptical, fixing him with such steady gaze that Han Li felt his nerves tingling and his heart pounding steadily. "Ah, well—if it hasn't been seen, then perhaps Master Lin's spirit body has wandered off and dissolved on its own within the great array." After a brief pause, the plump man turned his face slightly, then spoke calmly. Han Li breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Yet he knew very well that his explanation would hardly convince the other. Yet, observing the Ray Senior's apparent indifference to Lin Senior's life and death just now, it seems he will not press the matter further. After all, it is well known among cultivators that, once their spirit separates from the body, the very first thing they do is to seize another's body to revive themselves. However, in this array, only Han Li remains a cultivator present—everyone else has departed. Thus, the only possible recipient of such a spirit transfer must be Han Li himself. Yet Han Li is currently in perfect health, which clearly indicates that Lin Senior's spirit transfer attempt has failed, and his own spirit has been extinguished. As for whether Han Li's body has been taken over by Lin Senior's spirit—whether Lin Senior is currently acting through Han Li's physical form—this is immediately evident. For spirit transfer is a profoundly taxing process on the spirit, and even if successful, one would need to rest and recuperate for a month or so before being able to fully command the new body. Without such recovery, the Ray Senior would surely detect the flaw. Therefore, both Han Li and Ray Wanhe are fully aware of the ultimate fate of Lin Senior's spirit. But this stout elder, having formed a favorable first impression of Han Li and being utterly indifferent to such minor matters, merely let him pass with a lukewarm acceptance. As for Han Li, he had to feign ignorance and indifference—no matter the reason, once the incident became known, the charge of harming his fellow disciples would inevitably stick to him, proving highly detrimental to his standing. In fact, this situation made Han Li feel that this Lei elder was far more approachable and pleasant than his own master. Then, with a smile, he respectfully said to Lei Wanhe, "My junior has a few matters he would like to ask Master Lei for advice. Would Master Lei please take a moment to rest in my dwelling for a while, so that I may explain everything at a comfortable pace? Also, I have some fine, well-preserved medicinal herbs from last year—some of which are several hundred years old—that I would like Master Lei to examine and verify. This way, I can be certain of their authenticity when preparing my elixirs." "Medicinal herbs!" When Han Li first asked Lei Wanhe to come into his dwelling and share a few questions, the plump man remained entirely composed. But upon hearing that Han Li had some aged herbs to present for inspection, he managed a small smile and nodded in agreement. Han Li then guided Lei Wanhe into the spacious hall and seated him. After that, he went to retrieve the herbs, asking Lei Wanhe to wait a moment. He hurried to his storage room, took out two specimens of medicinal roots that were several hundred years old, and returned to the hall. Han Li chose not to place these herbs in his storage bags for easy carrying, as he wished to preserve their medicinal Since using vessels like jade boxes to store elixirs merely serves as a temporary means of preservation, the potency of the herbs will gradually fade over time. Therefore, almost every immortal's dwelling is equipped with such specially sealed storage rooms, ensuring the elixirs retain their essence indefinitely. However, to safeguard against the exceptional awareness of this Thunder Master, Han Li had already activated a unique variation of the "Severed Awareness" technique within the Inverted Five Elements Great Array, incorporating it into the storage room and the sacred spring of luminous vision. Now, if this Thunder Master wishes to secretly observe anything, he must surely be quite frustrated. The jade scroll clearly states that this variation of the "Severed Awareness" technique is remarkably simple and effective, allowing it to perform with the same potency as the original version—without any reduction in strength. This is the only feature that matches the genuine power of the original array. After completing the array himself, Han Li had tested the power of this transformation and found that his consciousness could only rotate within a range of several feet around him, unable to extend any further. As for this Thunder Senior, even though he was a cultivator at the Ji Dan stage, his awareness surpassed Han Li's—yet he would surely not be able to step beyond the scope of the grand hall, which spanned only several dozen feet. This was precisely why he had dared to invite the senior in without hesitation. Otherwise, once the senior scanned his storage chambers and the other sealed spring of spiritual eyes, which he had kept hidden, Han Li was certain that the Thunder Senior, Lei Wanhe, would be deeply unsettled. Indeed, he would likely have several dozen thoughts of concern. Yet, failing to invite this senior at the outset would have been even more problematic, potentially deepening the senior's suspicions. After all, it was rather unusual that a senior had arrived at a junior's dwelling without being invited inside. Even if the senior had initially overlooked the matter, upon reflection, it would surely become a more serious issue. Moreover, Han Li truly had something important to discuss with this plump senior, hoping to establish a closer relationship with him. After all, the senior was a Shenjian-stage cultivator, and cultivating a good rapport with him would undoubtedly bring numerous benefits in the future. As he silently pondered these thoughts, Han Li gently held two medicine boxes in his hands and walked into the hall, opening each box one by one before Lei Wanhe, requesting his assessment. At several of his close friends' immortal cultivators' abodes, he had encountered the same phenomenon—clearly indicating the presence of a seal that blocked spiritual perception. His friends were all Jian Dan stage cultivators, so it was not unusual for such a seal to exist within their abodes. Yet this particular nephew was a Juzhi stage cultivator, and the abode itself had only recently been constructed. It was therefore quite unusual for such a seal to appear here. Li Wanhe did not connect the emergence of this seal with the large array outside the abode. In his view, the outer array already demonstrated an exceptional ability to repel enemies—this was no small feat. If it could also produce additional effects such as blocking spiritual perception, then the array would indeed rival the grand sealing arrays of smaller sects. How could such a powerful sealing array appear outside the abode of a Juzhi stage disciple? Li Weihe had never imagined that Han Li's grand array was actually a streamlined version of the renowned "Five Elements Reversal Array!" Even if it only possessed one-tenth of the original array's power, it still far surpassed the so-called school-essential arrays in terms of effectiveness. Thus, when Han Li opened the medicine box and showed it to him, Li Weihe was still preoccupied with the matter, his eyes not immediately drawn to the contents within—his demeanor suggesting he didn't care either way. Yet, as soon as his gaze finally settled upon those two herbs, several to seven hundred years old, his previously relaxed expression instantly vanished. He completely forgot about the seals, the spiritual awareness, and all such intricacies. At that moment, Li Weihe's eyes were fixed solely on those two vibrant, spiritually charged herbs. "These two medicinal herbs," he said, "were acquired by my disciple from outside, at considerable spiritual stone cost. However, due to the young disciple's inexperience, he was unable to accurately determine their precise age. As a result, they have remained unused until now." "Master Lei's arrival is most timely—perfect to help my nephew appraise these two herbs!" "Hmm...!" Lei Wanhe had not listened a word of what Han Li had said. After giving off a few casual nods, he carefully held up one of the medicinal plants and examined it closely. Han Li silently observed Lei Wanhe's expression and smiled gently in his heart. It seemed that the two herbs had been chosen correctly. He had long heard that cultivators at the Jiandan stage were more eager for medicinal herbs and plants than those at the Zhuji stage. Once reaching the Jiandan level, it was no easy matter—not only to transform their internal essence into infant form, but even to elevate their cultivation level by one stage. Thus, consuming large quantities of pills and elixirs had become the usual method by which Jiandan cultivators enhanced their internal energy.
