Chapter 563: Secrets
"Gifted to Han Li?" Han Li showed a trace of surprise on his face.
"Exactly! Although the Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Liquid is extraordinarily precious, it still cannot compare to the lifesaving grace of Brother Han. Could it be that you, fellow cultivator, think Yuan Yao is just a woman who wouldn’t know how to repay kindness?" Yuan Yao gently tucked a strand of blue hair behind her forehead, lightly biting her teeth as she spoke.
"That's not it, it’s just that Fellow Yuan..." Han Li hesitated slightly.
Seeing this, Yuan Yao’s bright eyes flickered as she smiled softly.
"The two of us have endured hardships together in the Void Heaven Hall, and now there's a benefactor who saved my life. Brother Han, from now on, just call me Yuan Yao by name. There’s no need to be so formal with titles like 'fellow cultivator'." Yuan Yao said with a gentle smile. Then she suddenly remembered something, a faint blush rising on her face, making her even more radiant.
Han Li was captivated by her alluring feminine expression, his face momentarily stunned as his eyes lingered a moment longer on her face.
Under Han Li's gaze, Yuan Yao’s blush deepened, and she slightly tilted her head, avoiding his eyes.
"Since Miss Yuan says so, I won’t be so pretentious anymore. I will address you by name from now on." After a moment, Han Li took a deep breath and said.
Then he casually picked up the small bottle on the table and opened the cap to take a quick look.
Inside was indeed genuine Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Liquid.
Han Li showed a hint of joy and placed the bottle into his storage pouch. After a brief hesitation, he took out two white jade small bottles and handed them to Yuan Yao.
"What’s this?" Yuan Yao blinked her beautiful eyes in confusion.
"These are two pills that enhance magical power. They should help Miss Yuan’s cultivation in the future. Consider this my return gift." Han Li said calmly.
"Yuan Yao already said the spiritual liquid is a gift. Brother Han brings out these two pills as well; doesn’t that put the young lady in a difficult position?" Yuan Yao was momentarily stunned, but when she looked at the white jade bottles, she pursed her lips and smiled.
"Miss Yuan, don’t regret this! These two pills were refined primarily using level 6 demonic beast cores. With Yuan Yao’s current peak early foundation formation cultivation base, taking them will allow steady progress into mid foundation formation." Han Li glanced at her and smiled slightly.
"Pills refined from level 6 demonic beast cores!" Yuan Yao’s previously cheerful expression suddenly changed to one of surprise.
She quickly picked up one of the white jade bottles and opened the cap.
A pure spiritual energy gradually spread out from the bottle. Yuan Yao’s expression became extremely delighted.
"If it were anything else, I wouldn’t care. But these two pills are exactly what Yuan Yao needs. I gratefully accept." She held the bottle tightly with both hands, a bit embarrassed as she changed her words.
These two pills could save Yuan Yao over ten years of difficult cultivation. Even if a little awkward, she was overjoyed.
"Miss Yuan, just accept them. Actually, Brother Han has another favor to ask." Seeing her accept the pills, Han Li felt a bit relieved. Otherwise, it would have been awkward to bring up the next request.
"With Brother Han’s current magical abilities, what else could you need from me? Just say it, and if I can help, I definitely will." After carefully putting away the two pills, Yuan Yao smiled warmly and felt more at ease with Han Li.
"Just now outside, I saw the Qingyang Sect’s soul restraint formation secret technique. It can conceal spiritual energy near a secluded mansion. It’s very marvelous. I wonder if Miss Yuan could copy the setup method of this formation for me. I would be extremely grateful." Han Li said slowly.
"Soul restraint formation? No problem, that’s a simple matter." Perhaps wanting to repay Han Li for earlier, Yuan Yao agreed without much hesitation.
