Mortal: Starting on the Yin Island, his physical body defies the starry sea

Chapter 46 The Ascetic of Little Huan Island

Upon hearing this, Liu Yueru and the other Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn't help but look at Nie Shan.

There are three Core Formation Island Masters on Kui Xing Island, one principal and two deputy ones. Among their disciples alone, there are quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Not to mention, due to the abundance of spiritual energy, all the peaks and caves on the island are already full.

Leading a small team alone would likely result in being besieged by multiple Foundation Establishment cultivators, making it extremely dangerous.

If it were before, Nie Shan would definitely have thought the same way.

But after Luo Qing reminded him, he realized that he still had the ability to escape when facing multiple Foundation Establishment cultivators; but if he were to be drawn into the Core Formation battle, he would truly only be able to survive by luck.

"No, that would alert the enemy!"

Liu Yueru frowned, and before the fox-faced demon could speak, she objected.

"Hmph, Nephew Liu, you are mistaken."

Since they didn't expect us to attack Kui Xing Island, they'll surely think this is a diversionary tactic, which will only make them more vulnerable to falling into our trap!

Fox-faced Demon King snorted coldly, surprisingly showing strong support for Nie Shan's suggestion, and then said:

"You stay here for a while. I will discuss with my two other senior brothers and suggest that they each send out a small team."

......

Seven days later, on Xiaohuan Island.

An elderly mortal stood hesitantly before a thick fog, gazing at the distant mountain peaks. He opened his mouth several times, but no sound came out.

Since a year ago, when a Han envoy came from the main island of Kuixing Island, the only mountain on this small island has been shrouded in thick white fog.

To the ordinary people on the island, these white mists are quite magical; once you step into them, you will lose your way and never be able to get out.

Only after being trapped for several days, enduring great suffering, and shouting "Master Han" several times, will a path appear and allow one to escape.

After this happened a few times, the island's residents naturally learned that Master Han did not like to be disturbed.

But today, this old man has no choice but to come and bother you.

The one-year period has come to an end, and the immortal masters on the island must provide enough spirit stones in order to continue maintaining the protective array of Xiaohuan Island.

Logically speaking, a small island like Xiaohuan Island, which is only sixty or seventy miles long, only needs to set up a protective formation in its main town, just like Jinhuan Island.

There's no need to waste resources; the entire island can be protected with arrays.

Although Xiao Huan Island itself is not large and is not on any busy shipping routes, it was chosen to be one of the twelve outer formations of the Kui Xing Island protective formation because it is close enough to Kui Xing Island.

The array of light covering the entire island is naturally a good thing for the island's residents, as it will not affect their production and daily life even when the wind blows.

However, this also brought a huge burden, as the meager spirit stones earned by the mortals on the island were simply not enough to cover the array's consumption.

After hesitating for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the old mortal finally gathered his thoughts and shouted with all his might towards the mountain peak:

"Immortal Envoy Han, please bestow this year's spirit stones, cough cough!"

After waiting for a while, seeing no response, the old man couldn't help but show a bitter expression on his face.

However, just as he was about to steel himself and shout again, he saw the white mist part to create a path.

Immediately afterwards, a lizard-like ironwood golem carrying a tray walked along the road.

Soon, the lizard puppet, which was larger than a person, stopped in front of the old man and remained motionless.

The old man hesitated for a moment, then mustered his courage and stepped forward to pick up the tray.

Immediately, the lizard puppet turned back, and the white mist closed up again.

"Thank you very much, Master Han!"

After confirming that the number of spirit stones was correct, the old man finally showed joy on his face, thanked the distant mountain peaks, and headed down the mountain.

Meanwhile, a dark-skinned young man dressed in a blue robe was sitting cross-legged in a cave, looking at a fog mirror in front of him.

The image in the mirror was the old man's back as he descended the mountain.

"Unbeknownst to me, I've been on this island for a year now."

Without a doubt, this young man is none other than Han Li, the immortal master currently in charge of overseeing Xiao Huan Island.

With a wave of his hand, Han Li dispersed the fog mirror and prepared to continue his cultivation. However, when he flipped his hand, what he took out was not the Yellow Dragon Pill and Golden Marrow Pill that he used to take six or seven times a day, but a Foundation Establishment Pill that exuded pure spiritual energy.

"I never imagined that after just one year of 'hard training,' I could advance from the fourth level of Qi Refining to the ninth level in one go. In the past, I would never have dared to even think about it."

Thinking about his rapidly restored cultivation level, Han Li couldn't help but smile.

And next, he wanted to add fuel to the fire, because he was really fed up with the Qi Refining stage!

"With my current cultivation level, I can withstand the powerful effects of the Foundation Establishment Pill. I might as well take several Foundation Establishment Pills in a row to break through to the next realm and establish my foundation again as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Han Li opened his mouth and swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand.

The surging medicinal power exploded in his abdomen and flowed into his meridians, causing him to show signs of pain.

Fortunately, he had already become accustomed to the domineering power of the Foundation Establishment Pill when he was building his foundation in Huangfeng Valley.

He circulated his cultivation technique without any disorder, and his cultivation level began to rise steadily.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly broke through a bottleneck and actually broke through to the tenth level of Qi Refining!

After another half day of refining, the medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill was completely exhausted.

"Good, just as I expected. It seems that taking two more Foundation Establishment Pills will be enough."

Han Li nodded in satisfaction, then got up and went to the stone chamber next to him, where he fed Xiao Bai and Xiao Yu, the Blood Jade Spiders, a few Spirit Feeding Pills.

After watching them finish eating, he couldn't help but follow the insect-breeding experience of the Yuling Sect cultivators and train the two little guys a bit to relieve the loneliness of cultivating alone.

After his initial excitement subsided, he took another stroll through the herb garden and decided to accelerate the ripening of the thousand-year-old medicinal herbs in the next batch.

Looking at Qu Hun standing blankly in the herb garden, Han Li couldn't help but start planning his cultivation after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage:

"It would be safer to wait until I have mastered the second level of the Great Evolution Technique before refining Qu Hun into an external avatar."

I have a talent for cultivating spiritual sense, so I think I only need to wait another two or three years.

Regarding his cultivation of magical power, Han Li didn't say, but it's clear he used pills suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators, cultivating his way up by consuming pills.

With the pill formulas he collected before coming to the Chaotic Star Sea, he could cultivate to the peak of Foundation Establishment despite developing drug resistance!

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Li frowned abruptly, flipped his hand to take out an array plate, and activated it by making a hand seal with one hand.

"Damn it, how could a Foundation Establishment cultivator be eyeing this island!"

"Bang!"

The spiritual light on the array plate flickered rapidly a few times, then suddenly trembled, and several cracks appeared.

"They couldn't even last three breaths? Did they bring a special magical artifact to break the formation?"

With a serious expression, Han Li put away the fragments of the array plate and reached out to grab Qu Hun.

Instantly, a small dark green bottle was captured in his hand.

Hanging it around his neck, Han Li immediately took out a communication talisman, activated it, and threw it directly towards Kui Xing Island.
