Chapter 368: Farmstead


But as Han Li was counting the number of mortals, he also felt the faint aura of several cultivators. It seemed these cultivators were in charge of maintaining order at the port.


As Han Li was thinking this, he and Crooked Soul were brought to a stone room inside the harbor.


The room was very simply decorated with only a wooden desk and a chair with a wrinkly old man sitting in it with his eyes shut.


Upon hearing Han Li and company enter, this Immortal opened his eyes.


A cold light suddenly shot out as his eyes opened. Han Li’s heart shuddered upon seeing it. This person was unexpectedly a Foundation Establishment cultivator. In addition, his magic power was no less than Han Li when he had been at his peak.


This wrinkly, yellow-faced old man ignored Master Gu and w.a.n.g Changqing and directly swept his gaze toward Han Li and Crooked Soul. After seeing that Han Li was only a Qi Condensation cultivator, his expression became lazy once more. But after he took note of Han Li, he seemed to have glanced at Crooked Soul several more times.


“If you have business, be quick about it. Otherwise, don’t interrupt my rest.” He spoke dispiritedly and displayed some impatience.


By relying on his highly retentive memory, Han Li had acquired a rough understanding of the local language from w.a.n.g Changqing. Although he couldn’t speak it, he could understand the meaning of others with some difficulty.


But since he didn’t have any experience interacting with the cultivators of this land, he didn’t say a word and only smiled as Master Gu and w.a.n.g Changqing spoke with the cultivator.


Master Gu respectfully addressed him as Immortal Yang. Then he moved closer to him and whispered something before turning around and pointing at Han Li. It seemed he was explaining his origins. Afterwards, he placed a few spirit stones in his hand.


Grasping the spirit stones in his hand, Immortal Yang’s expression greatly eased up. He then took out a green jade medallion and stiffly asked Han Li, “Your name?”


“Han Li!” Han Li was able to say his own name fluently. As for how the other party would write them, he didn’t care in the least.


Immortal Yang’s hand flashed with green light, enveloping the entire jade medallion. After a short moment, the radiance faded away, revealing two strange symbols that Han Li hadn’t seen before.


The yellow-faced old man then tossed the jade medallion towards Han Li.


“Properly put away the medallion. If you lose it, you must immediately come back here and receive a replacement. Otherwise, you will face punishment as a trespa.s.ser on Stalwart Star Island. Naturally, if you settle down here later, you will no longer require the jade medallion and can return it. As for that refined corpse behind you, it obviously doesn’t need one.” After saying this with a raspy voice, he no longer paid them any attention and closed his eyes once more.


Master Gu tactfully left at once.


However, Han Li seemed interested in how he saw though Crooked Soul’s true ident.i.ty with a single glance. After taking a good look at him, Han Li silently left the room.


Shortly after Han Li left, that Immortal Yang opened his eyes once more. He muttered to himself with slight bewilderment, “That refined corpse is truly odd. It is clearly a dead body, but it still releases Spiritual Qi! Could it be some sort of new corpse refinement technique?” The old man then sunk into a long period of contemplation.


After leaving the port, Master Gu hired a carriage being pulled by strange ox-like goats, quickly bringing them deeper into the island by traveling along a large road.


Along the way, there were countless similar vehicles going about their own business.


But once the carriage pa.s.sed through several small, bustling towns, they saw far fewer carriages. As they traveled along a few small roads, pedestrians and carriages became exceedingly spa.r.s.e.


After hurriedly travelling for half a day, the carriage finally arrived at a farmstead that occupied over two acres. The farmstead grew many odd crops that Han Li hadn’t seen before.


There were crops that resembled grains and rice. However, their leaves were thick, flat and of a violet-red color. There were also crops that resembled cabbage. They released a faint scent, and although it possessed an extremely similar appearance to cabbage, there were no such cabbages that were as tall as half a man in the Heavenly South Region. There was even Choy Sum that bloomed small blue flowers...


More than ten farmers could be seen at each vegetable field. They were toiling at the fields in groups of two and three.


This provided quite a serene view of the farmstead!


As Han Li gazed at the farm with interest, the carriage had arrived at the large entrance of the farmstead’s manor and stopped. Han Li brought Crooked Soul out with him and took a look around.


The manor was surrounded by green pine trees and neighbored a rather large hill. It appeared somewhat unusual, but could be considered to be quite tasteful with a serene environment. In addition, the manor was surrounded by earth walls six meters tall and one meter thick. Many houses lied within the walls, appearing to have been built recently.


‘So this is the Gu Clan!’ Han Li silently uttered a word of praise. But as he carefully examined the pines, his expression inadvertently changed because of an astonis.h.i.+ng discovery. The trees that surrounded the manor faintly revealed the aura of a formation spell. It was obvious that a restriction had been placed here.


Although Han Li didn’t view the formation spell to be exceptional by any means, it was still enough to trap a low level cultivator.


While Han Li was feeling somewhat suspicious, Master Gu got off the carriage and spoke with an apologetic smile, “Immortal Han, please take a rest at the manor! I’ll call for some subordinates to prepare some of the island’s specialty wine for the Immortal Master!”


Han Li took a random glance at the surroundings of the manor and replied with a smile, “Let it be. I don’t wish to disturb Master Gu’s home. It’ll be fine if I reside there for the time being. After our affairs have been handled, I will search for a more permanent residence.” Han Li then pointed in a direction off to the side.


Master Gu and w.a.n.g Changqing followed the direction Han Li was pointing to and saw that it was a small solitary hill. They couldn’t help but be dumbstruck.


But after seeing that their many enthusiastic invitations had failed, they could only allow this strange immortal to head towards the small hill. They gave each other a mutual glance of helplessness before walking into the manor.


Han Li brought Crooked Soul with him on the small, sloped path towards the hilltop. He then took a glance down at the Gu Clan Manor from above.


He saw that Master Gu was heading towards the huge residence at the center of the manor while being escorted by a crowd of women and men. By the time he had arrived there, most of them have dispersed. Only a few beautifully clothed individuals followed him into the manor.


Han Li smirked slightly and turned around, busying himself with his own affairs.


He first went to find a relatively flat and even piece of land at the back of the hill. Then he quickly uprooted several of the thicker pines and cut them into pieces with magic tools. Afterwards, he had Crooked Soul...


An hour later, he had completed a simple small wooden house on the hill. The house had a wooden table, wooden chairs, and even a wooden bed.


In the following month, Han Li stayed in his house everyday, taking medicinal pills and refining Qi, striving to restore his cultivation as soon as possible.


As for Master Gu and w.a.n.g Changqing, they visited several times during this period and discussed matters pertaining to the contest. Afterwards, they hurriedly left, not daring to further disturb Han Li’s cultivation.


But as Master Gu was a sensible person, he sent delicacies up to Han Li’s home every few days for his enjoyment. Han Li gladly accepted them without a trace of politeness.


Many kinds of exceptionally sweet fruits were among these offerings, much to Han Li’s enjoyment. They were clearly the island’s local specialties since he had never seen them before.


During the last few days of the month, Han Li had managed to restore his cultivation to the fifth layer of Qi Condensation. He found this very surprising and felt his heart become more a.s.sured.


According to Master Gu, none of the cultivators that the ten clans had requested possessed a high level of cultivation. Apart from a few exceptions, a majority of them only possessed a cultivation at the sixth or seventh layer of Qi Condensation. As for the lots which would decide the fights, so long as Han Li’s luck wasn’t exceptionally terrible, he wouldn’t have a problem in the contest.


In addition, Master Gu had scoured the nearby seas for three ‘impressive’ magic tools to increase Han Li’s odds of success.


Han Li barely cla.s.sified these items as high grade magic tools. He could only roll his eyes inwardly and accept them so that Master Gu would feel at ease.


Two days after Han Li restored the fifth layer of his cultivation, Master Gu and w.a.n.g Changqing paid Han Li a visit with nervous expressions. Han Li wordlessly entered their carriage drawn by strange beasts, and they hurriedly traveled to some area located at the center of the island.


Four hours later, they arrived at a city that seemed to be entirely constructed out of white stone.


As they entered the city, they saw a large amount of mortals guarding the city entrance.


They wouldn’t bother anyone leaving the city, but entering the city would require one to show a command medallion, similar to the one Han Li possessed.


But when Han Li was about to enter the city, the guards took out a cylindrical object and shook it at Han Li several times. After it s.h.i.+ned with a green light, they gave Han Li a respectful salute and moved to only inspect the medallions of Master Gu and w.a.n.g Changqing.
