The sound of breaking space resonated, and Han Li's figure flashed forth from the nearby void, gazing at the Buddha-Saint's golden form. With a sweep of his robe, "thud!" the golden form dissolved into scattered golden light and vanished. The second prenatal spirit transformed into a surge of black mist, rushing toward him and then fading into invisibility. Though Han Li had released the second prenatal spirit and attached it to the golden form, due to the still-unstable state of the spirit's mind, during the earlier combat, the prenatal spirit itself could not draw upon any magical techniques—only using its spiritual awareness to guide and control the golden form in defense. In this way, the second prenatal spirit no longer feared the risk of being overwhelmed by heart-magic counterattacks, yet the golden form could not fully unleash its full potential. However, after Han Li advanced to the late stage of the Liang-Xu stage, the Buddha-Saint's True Magic Technique also reached its final phase. The golden form's power now vastly surpassed its initial Liang-Xu stage capabilities, and it could now perform several long-anticipated new techniques. Among these, the spiraling vortex of golden light was the most powerful and most mysterious. It was merely a normal stage of consolidation. If unexpectedly drawn in by that golden light, and without great divine abilities or extraordinary treasures to protect them, even a fall would be likely. Thus, even without activating his Body-Magic Technique, merely by summoning his golden form, he effortlessly eliminated one of the Rong clan members. From the moment Han Li intervened until he used his divine form to eliminate four peers from the Rong clan, it took only a few exchanges. Even the Moon Immortal and the elderly Xu, still hesitating at a distance whether to return and assist Han Li in retreating, were left stunned. The four formidable adversaries who had previously pursued them with great difficulty were completely wiped out in a single stroke. The two now stood in open amazement. Their expressions reflected seven parts astonishment, two parts unease, and only one part of genuine delight. Han Li paid no attention to the shifting expressions of the woman and the elder, and with a simple movement of his body, he swiftly materialized above "Qu'er." Since Han Li appeared, the young girl had remained perfectly still, motionless at her original spot. Upon seeing him approach, she blinked several times, exchanged a few whispered words with Han Li, and then a flash of white light caused her to vanish into the sleeve. Han Li pondered for a moment before lifting his head and glancing toward the distant woman and the elder. The two exchanged glances, then seemed to murmur to each other quietly before hesitating, and finally moved forward, drifting steadily toward them. Though their speed was neither fast nor slow, in just a short while they came to a stop about ten zhang away from Han Li, their flight light fading as they halted. "Thank you so much for your timely assistance," said the elder, bowing deeply to Han Li with a warm smile. "Otherwise, I and Lady Yue would have been pursued and captured by these Rong clan members. The extraordinary prowess of Brother Han truly leaves us in awe." "Xu's words are indeed accurate—these Rong族 practitioners possess exceptional teleportation skills. Had it not been for Brother Han's presence, they would have surely perished. I am truly grateful." The Moon Princess's face regained its composure, though she gently exhaled a soft sigh. "I now understand why the two of you were unable to shake off these Rong族 members. There's no need for any formal thanks. After all, no matter how I see it, I've journeyed alongside you both from Yun City into this realm. As long as we've met, I would never allow anyone to fall without helping." Brother Han smiled slightly, displaying a most humble demeanor. "Brother Han, your insight is truly remarkable! Previously, both I and the Moon Princess were deceived by the Rong族's stratagems. When we escaped, our vital energies were already significantly depleted. Your timely assistance will never be forgotten—I will certainly offer you heartfelt gratitude." Seeing Han's kind and courteous manner, the elder named Xu felt a great sense of relief, and his smile grew even more genuine. Upon hearing this, Han only smiled and remained silent. The Yue Xian turned her gaze several times, then suddenly raised her hand, producing a jade chest from it. She then slowly said to Han Li, "This is a Nine-Flame Spirit Herb, long extinct in the Spirit Realm—essential for crafting several kinds of spiritual pills. Those several Rong族 people have been relentlessly pursuing us, and part of their pursuit stems precisely from this herb. As we are deeply grateful for your timely rescue, we offer it to you as our thanks." As soon as she finished speaking, she tossed the jade chest directly toward Han Li. With the unrolling of the Xiangguang scroll, the incantations on the jade box flashed several times before detaching themselves spontaneously. The lid flew open, and a cluster of ruyi light surged forth from within, displaying a most lively, sentient quality. Yet Han Li had anticipated this, and how could he allow it to slip away unnoticed? With a single arm movement, he reached out and grasped the space with his hand. A series of rushing sounds echoed as an invisible, immense force instantly enveloped the cluster of ruyi light. With a slight flex of his fingers, the light glowed sphere shot into his palm and was drawn there. "Han, be careful!" Seeing Han Li's actions, Yue Xianzi's face slightly tightened, and she promptly issued a reminder. "No need to worry!" Han smiled, and as his palm shimmered with light, it suddenly glowed brilliantly golden. The ruyi light orb spun gently in his palm before drifting down softly. To his surprise, it revealed a rare herb resembling a flame, yet radiating nine distinct luminous essences. This spirit plant is no taller than a few inches, yet wherever its nine-colored flames pass, the nearby void grows hazy and misty, releasing waves of intense heat. Clearly, the temperature of this plant is extraordinary! Yet the palm of Han Li, holding the plant, glows with golden light, shimmering like molten gold, as if untouched by the close, scorching heat. Seeing this scene, the elder named Xu was struck with astonishment, yet he chuckled and said, "Master Yue is overthinking it! With Brother Han's remarkable abilities, how could such heat pose any real challenge?" "Indeed! The light emitted by this Nine-Flame Grass is powerful enough to melt gold and turn stone to ash, yet it has no effect on you at all. Brother Han's powers truly are incalculable!" After a brief pause, Master Yue smiled gently, a touch of wryness in her expression. "My own abilities aren't as extraordinary as the two of you have described—I've merely mastered a few special fire-resistant techniques. This Nine-Flame Grass is indeed a rare and precious fire spirit plant, and it has proven genuinely useful to me. Then, I shall be most unworthy to decline it." Han Li gazed closely at the nine-colored spiritual herb in his hands and smiled gently. Then, with a simple gesture, he placed the herb back into the jade box, affixed several scrolls anew, and in a flash of luminous energy, the jade box vanished completely. Yue Xianzi observed this and a faint smile appeared on her lips. Though the elder deeply regretted the departure, recalling Han Li's astonishing feats earlier, he showed no sign of surprise, merely chuckling and intending to speak more. Yet, Han Li suddenly shook his sleeve, and two pale green jade vases materialized, flying swiftly toward Yue Xianzi and the elder. Both were momentarily startled and instinctively raised their hands. As the two sheets of light passed over them, the vases were each enveloped in a sphere of spiritual radiance and settled into their hands. "Han brother, what is this?" the elder said, his expression now serious and his voice tinged with hesitation. The woman also held one of the vases, gazing at Han Li with a touch of surprise. "There's nothing special about it—the Nine-Flame Grass is truly rare. Moreover, previously I obtained some elixirs that could refine the power of the upper clan's ninth stage. They should have been of some use when the two of you were encountering your respective bottlenecks. Therefore, I shall take two bottles of this elixir as compensation for the Nine-Flame Grass I'm now taking." Han Li spoke with a light, composed tone. If the Nine-Flame Grass were seen by a Saint-level cultivator who specializes in fire-based techniques, then these elixirs would surely be of little significance. Han Li, unwilling to take advantage of others, kindly offered, "Please, take them both—there's no need for me to hold onto anything." With a calm, gentle smile, Han Li said this leisurely. "Then, with your kind words, I and my companion, Yue, shall be most grateful," the elder replied, after only a brief thought, and with a smile, took the jade vial. The Moon Immortal, likewise, inspected the vials in her hands, expressed her thanks, and then tucked the elixirs into her sleeve. After this exchange, the elder's initial reservations had largely eased. He glanced around, then suddenly asked, "Han brother, is there anyone else here besides yourself? Are there any other cultivators nearby?" "Indeed, I was originally traveling with two other cultivators, but recently encountered some dangers and lost contact with them," Han Li frowned slightly, yet offered no concealment. "Ah, that's rather unfortunate!" the elder exclaimed, clearly surprised. "Heard this, the elder frowned slightly, showing a touch of resentment. The Moon Immortal's expression changed, her eyes gleaming with a hint of regret. "Xu, you're implying something, aren't you? Is there a matter you and the Moon Immortal have that requires additional manpower?" Han Li asked, his tone both amused and probing. Upon hearing this, the elder glanced at the woman, as though seeking confirmation. After a brief pause, the Moon Immortal spoke gently: "Brother Xu, that location has already been taken over by the Weng people. With our combined strength, we simply cannot reclaim it. But Brother Han, with your vast abilities, perhaps there's a way to resolve this. If you'd care to take this matter to Brother Han, we would be grateful—should it succeed, we would not ask for anything else but a copy of that golden seal technique."
