Mortal: I became invincible after becoming sworn brothers with Han Li.

The three chatted for a few more minutes before quickly heading towards Tainan Valley.

Before long, the three of them arrived at a strange slope filled with mist.

Wan Xiaoshan suddenly said, "Brother Li, Brother Han, please wait a moment. I will immediately notify the people in the valley to activate the formation!"

After saying that, he took out a yellow talisman and gestured with it a few times, chanting incantations. Then he tossed it into the air, and the talisman turned into a streak of fire and flew into the mist.

Seeing Han Li looking at this scene with some surprise, Li Yunfan explained with a smile, "Brother Han, Xiaoshan just used a sound transmission talisman, which can transmit one's voice to a specific person."

Han Li glanced at Li Yunfan, then nodded to him and gave him a friendly smile.

Seeing this, Li Yunfan smiled again. It seemed that his efforts had not been in vain, and he had gained some favor with Han Li.

Suddenly, the mist in front of the three of them churned and then seemed to be cleaved open, revealing a narrow path. The other end of the path was very far away, and the end could not be seen at all.

Wan Xiaoshan said happily, "Alright, the formation is open, let's go in quickly!"

After saying that, he took the lead and stepped onto the path.

Han Li did not immediately step forward, but stood still and continued to examine the path.

Seeing this, Li Yunfan smiled inwardly. As expected, he was still the cautious Old Devil Han.

"Brother Han, Xiaoshan has already gone in, let's follow!"

After saying that, he stepped onto the path and followed behind Wan Xiaoshan into the valley.

Seeing this, Han Li finally felt relieved and stepped onto the path.

The path seemed long, but the three of them walked for only a short while before reaching its end.

As soon as they left the exit, their eyes lit up. A green valley filled with all sorts of exotic flowers and plants, surrounded by mountains on three sides, appeared before them.

The valley is very large, with a palace complex in the center. In front of it is a blue brick square with many stalls, and one or two people are trading at each stall.

These strange scenes greatly shocked Han Li, a novice cultivator.

Just then, Wan Xiaoshan's voice suddenly came from not far away.

"Brother Han, Brother Li, over here!"

Li Yunfan and Han Li turned their heads and saw Wan Xiaoshan standing next to an old man in a blue robe, waving in their direction.

"Brother Han, let's go over there!" Li Yunfan called out to Han Li, and then walked towards Wan Xiaoshan's location.

After the two approached, Wan Xiaoshan introduced them to each other.

"Brother Han, Brother Li, this is my great-uncle, Master Qingyan."

After speaking, he introduced them to Qingyan Zhenren: "Uncle, this is Brother Han Li, a rogue cultivator. This is Brother Li Yunfan, from the Li family of Jianzhou. They are all good friends I made outside."

Upon hearing this, Master Qingyan glanced at the two of them briefly and then smiled.

"I never imagined that young friend Han would already possess the cultivation of the eighth level of Qi Refining at such a young age. Such talent is rare even among cultivation families!"

Han Li smiled bitterly to himself. His cultivation level was entirely due to the use of spirit pills, and had nothing to do with his aptitude!

However, before he could reply, Master Qingyan suddenly turned to Li Yunfan, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a somewhat solemn expression.

"And this young friend Li is even more exceptionally talented, having already reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining. The Li family must be a prominent clan in Jianzhou, otherwise how could they have nurtured such a gifted individual!"

Upon hearing Qingyan Zhenren's words, Han Li and Wan Xiaoshan were both shocked and looked at Li Yunfan in disbelief.

They never expected that Li Yunfan, who had been with them all the way, would have such profound cultivation!

It should be noted that the Qi Refining stage is divided into thirteen levels, and Li Yunfan looks about the same age as Han Li, but his cultivation level far surpasses Han Li's. How could this not shock them?

Thinking about it more deeply, Li Yunfan is only one Foundation Establishment Pill away from the Foundation Establishment stage. It can be said that he could advance to the Foundation Establishment stage at any time!

The most shocked of all was Han Li, after all, he knew perfectly well how he had acquired his eighth level of cultivation.

"Senior, you flatter me! The Li family is just a small clan, otherwise I wouldn't have traveled so far to Tai Nan Valley. My cultivation level is entirely due to a spiritual fruit I accidentally ate in my early years, which greatly increased my cultivation..." Li Yunfan explained calmly, cupping his hands in a gesture of respect.

There's absolutely no need to hide the fact that I accidentally ate a spiritual fruit, since there are countless spiritual fruits in the cultivation world that can increase one's cultivation level.

However, the fact that consuming the spiritual fruit would activate the "Fire Spirit Body" must be kept secret from outsiders for the time being.

After all, it's always better to be cautious than to be complacent. Before you have sufficient strength, it's best to keep a low profile.

After saying that, she secretly glanced at Han Li beside her. "I learned all this from you..."

Master Qingyan nodded: "It is truly a stroke of good fortune for you, young friend, to be able to enjoy such a spiritual fruit!"

Even so, he didn't entirely believe Li Yunfan's explanation.

"Xiaoshan, these two young friends are only a few years older than you, but their cultivation levels far surpass yours. Why don't you hurry up and cultivate? Since your family members are here, come with me to see them!"

Upon hearing this, Wan Xiaoshan's face immediately fell. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but was interrupted by Qingyan Zhenren's wave of his hand.

He then said to Li Yunfan and his companion, "You two can trade within the valley on your own. I need to take Xiaoshan to meet his family, so I won't keep you any longer!"

"No! I still need to introduce two older brothers to..."

"Alright, they have their own things to do, so don't bother them!"

After saying that, he ignored Wan Xiaoshan's pleas and pulled him towards a certain pavilion.

Upon seeing this, the two exchanged a glance and both smiled.

"Brother Han, this must be your first time attending a trade fair like this. I happen to be free of anything, so if you don't mind, how about we stroll around together?" Li Yunfan said with a friendly smile, looking at Han Li sincerely.

Han Li frowned slightly upon hearing this. In fact, he would prefer to be alone, but this was his first time participating in the trade fair, and it would be great if he could have an experienced person accompany him.

The Li Yunfan before them did not appear to be an evil person. Moreover, with his Qi Refining Level 12 cultivation, if he truly intended to harm them, he would have already taken action while they were outside.

With his cultivation level, even if he and Wan Xiaoshan joined forces, they would have no chance of escaping.

After thinking it over, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement with Li Yunfan's suggestion.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Brother Li!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunfan was overjoyed. It was wonderful that Old Demon Han had agreed!
