Chapter 623: Brilliant Spiritual Resonance
Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, Han Li had been diligently cultivating inside his secluded mansion for three months.
During this period, Kui Huan and a few others visited again. With some apology, they explained that they had informed some elders of the sect about Han Li’s mastery of the talisman crafting arts, and hoped he wouldn’t take offense.
Since Han Li had long planned to use talisman crafting to cover his tracks, he naturally didn’t mind this. After calmly reassuring them, he sent them away.
As for Heaven Spring Peak, because Han Li had unexpectedly been selected among the twenty-four disciples, the cold and glamorous woman surnamed Mu surprisingly came to the medicinal garden for a visit. She spent half a day explaining the difficult points of the Profound Ice Technique to Han Li. This both surprised him and left him somewhat speechless.
Aside from these two groups, no one else disturbed Han Li’s cultivation.
One day, Han Li was in the silent room of his mansion, diligently practicing the Blue Origin Sword Technique, when suddenly he furrowed his brow and stopped his cultivation, standing up.
When he stepped out of the silent room and the mansion’s main door, entering the medicinal garden, he saw a fiery light darting recklessly through the mist of the garden’s restriction formation. It was formed from a sound transmission talisman.
Seeing this, Han Li gently parted the restriction, beckoned with a hand, and the sound transmission talisman obediently transformed back into a ball of intense flames, falling into his palm.
After a moment, he closed his five fingers, and the firelight vanished without a trace.
“White Phoenix Peak, Senior Patriarch Song! Isn’t that the famous core formation stage female cultivator known as the most beautiful woman of the Luoyun Sect? Could it be that she’s the one guiding me? If that’s the case, these past few days haven’t been too bad!” Han Li murmured expressionlessly.
Without hesitation, he released his flying sword magical artifact and headed straight toward White Phoenix Peak.
…
White Phoenix Peak was located on the far east side of the Luoyun Sect, quite distant from the other five peaks, giving off the aura of a solitary plum blossom braving the snow.
Though it was the smallest among the Six Marvelous Peaks, it was lush and green, full of flowers and trees. In terms of scenic beauty, it was the crown jewel of all the peaks, far surpassing the Heaven Spring Peaks.
Before long, Han Li arrived near White Phoenix Peak.
Because this peak was mostly inhabited by female cultivators, there was an unwritten and peculiar rule: any male disciples from other peaks who came here on business had to report to the disciples at the mountain gate at the foot of the peak before entering.
Otherwise, if they were trapped within the peak’s restriction formation, it would be their own fault.
Han Li naturally had no intention of barging in. He obediently landed his magical artifact at the foot of the mountain.
At the gate stood three female cultivators at the qi refining stage, chatting with faint smiles.
Upon seeing the unfamiliar male cultivator land, they couldn’t help but curiously appraise him.
“I am Han Li from Heaven Spring Peak, here to receive guidance from Senior Patriarch Song. I hope Senior Sisters will inform her,” Han Li said respectfully, cupping his hands toward the female disciples.
“You’re Han Li? Senior Patriarch already told us. You can go straight to the Morning Phoenix Pavilion at the peak’s summit. The Patriarch is waiting for you there!” said a young female disciple with faint freckles on her face, smiling lightly upon hearing Han Li’s words.
Han Li thanked them and immediately departed on his magical artifact.
However, not far after he took off, the three female disciples, thinking Han Li could no longer hear them, began speaking carelessly.
“Is this Han Li really the disciple representing our sect in the sword trial tournament? His cultivation looks quite low!”
