Chapter 638: Void Heaven Cauldron, Little Bottle, Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasure
Seeing that Han Li did not flatly refuse, the silver-haired elder was secretly pleased and spoke even more sincerely:
“Fellow cultivator, rest assured. Although we hold the title of grand elder within the sect, in reality, we do not have to handle any affairs or mundane tasks. We are merely a deterrent presence. We can fully focus on our own matters. Every year, the disciples of the sect offer us thousands of spirit stones to support our cultivation. And if we need any special spirit medicine, materials, or the like, we can simply instruct the disciples to acquire them without having to trouble ourselves. In short, as an elder of the Luoyun Sect, your treatment will not be inferior in the slightest compared to other sects.”
“Senior brother speaks rightly,” said the cultivator surnamed Lü slowly, persuading him as well. “And although Brother Han has successfully formed his nascent soul and entered the nascent soul stage, he is surely still quite unfamiliar with the refinement of the nascent soul, right? Not to boast, but although we have been stuck in the early nascent soul stage for hundreds of years, our magical abilities have made a step forward, and we do have some unique insights into cultivation. If you are willing to join our sect, we will naturally share everything openly so that you can avoid many detours.”
After all, the sect’s strength would immediately increase significantly with an addition of a nascent soul stage cultivator. Although it would still not rival the Ancient Sword Sect, it would be on par with the Hundred Skills Courtyard. The Luoyun Sect’s position on Yunmeng Mountain would become as steady as a mountain.
Han Li listened to their invitation and was somewhat tempted by what the cultivator surnamed Lü said.
He naturally knew what it meant to have a cultivator who had spent hundreds of years refining the nascent soul offer guidance just after he himself had reached the nascent soul stage. It might save him decades or even over a hundred years of hard cultivation.
As for staying in the Luoyun Sect, he had not seriously considered the pros and cons before. Now that the other party took the initiative, he had no choice but to carefully consider it.
Should he continue as a rogue cultivator? Or follow the flow and become an elder of the Luoyun Sect? Or simply seek out a more suitable sect to join?
After pondering for a while with his head lowered, Han Li lifted his head and said seriously:
“I appreciate the kindness of you both, but this is an important matter. I have just formed my nascent soul and my mind is somewhat unsettled. Please allow me a few days to think it over. I will reply to you in three days. Is that acceptable?”
Upon hearing this, the two silver-haired elders exchanged a glance. Then, after a brief consideration, one of the elders apologized with some embarrassment:
“I’m ashamed! It seems my senior brother and I were a bit too hasty. This matter certainly deserves your solemn consideration. Very well, I will designate this place as a restricted area during these days so that no disciples disturb your quiet cultivation. In three days, the two of us will visit you together.”
After saying that, the two silver-haired elders chatted a little more with Han Li, then tactfully took their leave.
Han Li courteously escorted them outside the secluded mansion, then returned to the hall and sat down again, furrowing his brows as he pondered.
Outside the hall, a white shadow flashed—Silver Moon had, without Han Li noticing, restored her original form as a white fox and gracefully walked in.
“What’s wrong? Do you no longer have enough magical power to maintain your transformed form?” Han Li glanced at the little fox with some curiosity.
“Yes, Master! With my body as the artifact spirit combined with the little spiritual power of my demonic fox body, I can only maintain human form for a short time. Next time I can transform will have to wait another month,” Little Fox said, lifting her small head and speaking with frustration.
