When Han Li emerged from the cave again, several yellow pills were now in his palm.

After several days of continuous, sleepless refining, the detoxifying pill was finally completed, and Gan Rushuang had already woken up.

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Gan Rushuang was taken aback at first. She quickly checked her body and breathed a sigh of relief after finding nothing wrong.

"Fellow Daoist, you're awake. Lie down quickly; your body hasn't fully recovered."

At this moment, Han Li, carrying several bottles of pills, entered the cave. Looking at the pale-faced woman before him, Han Li hurriedly said...

"Fellow Daoist, my name is Gan Rushuang. Thank you for your help. May I ask your name?" Gan Rushuang sat weakly on the bed, her figure elegant and charming. She cupped her hands towards Han Li and smiled.

"So it's Miss Gan, my apologies. My name is Han Li, a rogue cultivator. I apologize for any offense I may have caused with my words and actions."

Han Li clasped his hands in a fist salute and introduced himself.

"We cultivators defy the heavens and are naturally unconcerned with trivial matters, so Fellow Daoist Han need not take it to heart. However, I saw earlier that you possess extraordinary abilities, being able to kill a peak Qi Refining cultivator with only late-stage Qi Refining cultivation. Such strength is absolutely comparable to that of the successors of the five major sects."

Upon hearing that Han Li possessed such extraordinary abilities and was merely a rogue cultivator, a hint of astonishment flashed in Gan Rushuang's eyes.

"Miss Ru Shuang is too kind to me. I was just lucky. My knowledge is a bit eclectic, so please forgive my ignorance."

"However, when I was taking your pulse just now, I found that Miss Ru Shuang had faint signs of poison entering her body. It seems that she took a large amount of spiritual energy pills at once."

"This poison entering the body is no small matter. In addition to affecting the speed of cultivation, it will also affect the circulation of magic power in the body. If it is not resolved in time, the consequences may be endless."

Han Li found a stone bench, sat down, and said slowly.

"That's true. But Fellow Daoist Han also witnessed the situation at the time. If I hadn't taken a lot of pills to replenish my spiritual energy, I probably would have perished long ago."

"As for this poison, apart from a few rare pills that can neutralize it, the only way is to use magic power to refine and eliminate it. It would probably take at least ten years to do so."

Gan Rushuang looked somber and said.

"Miss Ru Shuang, do not be discouraged. Look at this."

As he spoke, Han Li took a bottle of the antidote pills he had refined and transferred them to his body using his spiritual energy.

Gan Rushuang took the pill, examined it carefully, and then her face lit up with surprise.

"This is... a detoxifying pill!"

“That’s right.” Han Li nodded with a smile. “This pill can just right to neutralize the poison in your body.”

A hint of excitement flashed in Gan Rushuang's eyes. She originally thought it would take her a long time to resolve the pill poison, but she didn't expect Han Li to have such a pill. In this way, it would be of great benefit to both resolving the pill poison and establishing her foundation.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Han! May I ask where you obtained this Detoxification Pill? Could it be that you are an alchemist?"

While grateful, Gan Rushuang had some doubts in her heart.

The Detoxification Pill is a rare and precious medicine, and its refining technique is only mastered by the alchemists of the five major sects and Wuling City. Yet, at this moment, Han Li actually took out several Detoxification Pills for her.

Feeling the lingering warmth emanating from the pill, she was somewhat surprised and uncertain, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder.

Han Li waved his hand, "We are both cultivators, so it is only right that we help each other. As for the origin of this pill, I obtained it from the storage bag of the green-robed cultivator I killed, and it was not refined by me."

"I see!"

Gan Rushuang nodded with some skepticism, after all, the person came from the Bamboo Mountain Sect, so it wasn't surprising that he had such pills on him.

However, the medicinal fragrance emanating from this pill was far too strong, and the pill itself was still warm, indicating that it had just been refined.

"By the way, Miss Ru Shuang, these are the storage bags of two other cultivators. They were unable to be handed over to you because they were unconscious. Now they are being returned to their rightful owners."

At this moment, Han Li suddenly remembered something, took out two storage bags from his waist, and handed them to Gan Rushuang.

"How can this be? In the battle of the Imperial Sword Sect, if it weren't for your heroic efforts, I would have perished long ago. I am already very grateful to have survived."

Gan Rushuang curtsied and spoke slowly.

“That may be true, but if it weren’t for you holding off the other two, I alone would not have been able to deal with three Qi Refining cultivators. Moreover, we are all rogue cultivators, and I know very well the difficulties involved. So please don’t refuse.”

Han Li took out a bottle of Purple Crow Wine, poured a cup for Gan Rushuang, and transferred it to her with his spiritual energy, his face full of smiles.

"How did Fellow Daoist Han know I was a rogue cultivator?"

Looking at the purple wine brimming with spiritual energy in her hand, Gan Rushuang was shocked and raised her question.

"As a well-known rogue cultivator in the Qi Refining stage, I have only heard of Fairy Frost."

Han Li smiled, drank the Purple Crow Wine first to dispel the other party's concerns, and said.

"I see. With such extraordinary abilities, Brother Han should not be an unknown person. He must be a hermit in the mountains, which is why he is not well-known."

"However, as one of the five major sects, the Zhushan Sect has a strong foundation. If they find out about this, it may be detrimental to you, fellow Daoist."

Gan Rushuang drank the wine and immediately felt her body brimming with spiritual energy. The pure spiritual energy contained in this wine was no less than that of a month of arduous cultivation. Shocked, she became even more curious about Han Li, this mysterious rogue cultivator.

Whether it was due to the purple wine or something else, Gan Rushuang's face was slightly flushed, adding a touch of charm to her appearance.

"What Miss Ru Shuang said is quite true. However, as a traitor of the Zhushan Sect, even if the Zhushan Sect knew about this person, they would not be willing to take their anger out on me for the sake of a traitor. However, the demonic forces behind this person are extraordinary and should not be underestimated."

"Therefore, please trouble the fairy to keep this secret. This will be beneficial to both of us."

Han Li stared blankly at the woman in front of him for a while before he came to his senses and awkwardly scratched his head.

"In that case, I will accept this item for now. As for this matter, I will not go out and talk about it unless you tell me, so please rest assured."

"Thank you for your care during this time, Fellow Daoist. It's getting late, Fellow Daoist Han, so I'll take my leave now."

Seeing Han Li standing there dumbfounded, Gan Rushuang chuckled, her melodious laughter echoing through the cave. After closing her eyes to regulate her breathing and recover her magical power, she slowly stood up and bid farewell to Han Li.

"Miss Ru Shuang is leaving soon, why not stay a few more days in the cave and exchange cultivation experiences?"

Upon seeing this, Han Li showed a hint of reluctance on his face and wanted to say something to persuade him to stay.

"Fellow Daoist Han, I have been away for long enough, and besides, I have important matters to attend to, so I cannot afford to delay any longer."

As she spoke, Gan Rushuang, led by Han Li, passed through the ancient cultivator formation outside the cave and arrived outside the cave. At this moment, she stood on her sword, looking at Han Li with a smile in her beautiful eyes.

"In that case, I will not say anything more. If Miss Ru Shuang ever needs my help in the future, I will do my best to assist her."

Upon hearing this, Gan Rushuang nodded, and with a flicker of her figure, she transformed into a streak of light and shot away.

"Oh no, I forgot to leave her a communication talisman."

Seeing this, Han Li watched the woman's departing figure with lingering reluctance. Returning to his cave, he felt the lingering warmth and fragrance on the bed, looking lost and forlorn. Then, he suddenly remembered something.

Looking down at the stone table, one could see a blue jade tablet lying there quietly, exuding a familiar aura.

"Fellow Daoist Han, this is a communication jade talisman I'm leaving for you. Please keep in touch if you need anything."

A familiar voice rang out from inside the jade talisman.
