"Woman?" Madam Liu Hua raised an eyebrow and asked.

Han Li nodded.

"Hmph! Have you thought this through? You're not just refusing the opportunity to become my disciple, but also the chance to be rid of the Black Calamity Insects?" Madam Liu Hua snorted coldly.

"Junior understands, but... since this Flame Yang Pagoda is a place for business, Senior might as well consider Fellow Daoist Gu's sake and conduct a fair business transaction with Junior?" Han Li asked after a moment of hesitation.

"Get lost early, I'm too lazy to do business with a blockhead like you." Seeing that Han Li was impervious to persuasion, Madam Liu Hua grabbed a beast bone with her right hand, tearing off the flesh on it, while her left hand was held in a virtual grip to the side.

Han Li's eyes flickered slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he stood up to leave.

Seeing this, Gu Qianxun was about to speak when she saw Han Li stop just as he was about to turn around.

"Senior Liu Hua, how long has it been since you last had a drink?" He looked at Madam Liu Hua and asked seemingly inadvertently.

This seemingly nonsensical question made Madam Liu Hua stop eating the meat. A hint of doubt first flashed in her eyes, and she gently rubbed her empty left hand for a moment before saying:

"You little brat have a good eye, how did you see that I'm an old drunkard?"

"I saw that Senior's right hand is covered in grease, probably from touching the beast bones. But the left hand, whether palm or back, is clean and free of any grease. And Senior's left hand has been held in a virtual grip, which seems to be a habitual movement from holding a wine cup." Han Li said with a smile.

Seeing this, Gu Qianxun couldn't help but frown slightly, not understanding why Han Li brought this up.

"Good observation, but unfortunately your brain isn't very bright. So what if you know I like a drink? It's not like you have any hidden liquor?" Madam Liu Hua shook her head and said.

"Ready-made wine... Junior indeed doesn't have, but if Senior is willing to wait a few days, this wine may not be available." Han Li said.

"What are you saying? Listening to your words... are you going to brew wine yourself?" Madam Liu Hua raised an eyebrow and threw down the beast bone in her hand completely, saying with some disbelief.

Han Li didn't speak, but nodded silently.

"Haha... In this Accumulated Scale Void Realm, both heaven and earth spiritual energy and demonic energy are forbidden, which is a barren land where nothing grows. Not to mention the spiritual materials and immortal dew that can be used to brew immortal wine, even the sorghum grains used to distill wine in the mortal world are not available, how can you brew wine? Could it be that you have the supernatural power to create something out of nothing?" Madam Liu Hua laughed, as if she had heard a great joke.

Hearing this, Gu Qianxun also frowned and shook her head.

"I wonder if Senior has heard of a wine called 'Blood Plasma Wine'?" Han Li asked without taking it to heart.

"Blood Plasma Wine?" Madam Liu Hua choked slightly when she heard the words.

"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it, in short, Junior has a way to brew blood plasma into wine. The taste may be a bit... special, but in this Accumulated Scale Void Realm, the requirements can't be too high." Han Li said with a smile.

Han Li learned the brewing method of this Blood Plasma Wine from Hu Yan Daoren, but because the taste was a bit heavy, he never liked it, so he never refined it.

As for whether it can be brewed with scale beast blood in this Accumulated Scale Void Realm, Han Li doesn't have much confidence in his heart, but at least it's an extra path he can try.

"Can you really brew this so-called Blood Plasma Wine?" Madam Liu Hua subconsciously stroked her flower braid beard and asked.

"If Junior can brew this wine, would Senior be willing to hand over the method to break the Black Calamity Insects?" Han Li asked.

"What do you think the method to break the Black Calamity Insects is... you want to exchange it for a pot of wine?" Madam Liu Hua sneered.

"Then Senior, what other requests do you have, you might as well say them all together." Han Li said calmly, as if he had expected it.

"In addition to Blood Plasma Wine, you also have to exchange it for a fist-sized Sky Scale Meteorite Crystal." Madam Liu Hua waved her hand and said.

The hope that had originally risen in Gu Qianxun's heart was shattered again when she heard these words.

"Senior, this Sky Scale Meteorite Crystal is one of the most high-end materials in this Accumulated Scale Void Realm, even a piece the size of a thumb is sky-high. Let alone whether there is a piece the size of a fist, even if there is, who would be willing to show it off, we have no way to get it..." Gu Qianxun said in a hurry.

Hearing this, Han Li couldn't help but frown.

"Since I've spoken, I will naturally point you in the right direction. To be honest, I have reliable news to confirm that one of the prizes for your Five Cities Martial Arts Tournament is a Sky Scale Meteorite Crystal. As for what ranking you have to get to obtain it, I'm not sure yet, it depends on whether you have the ability to get it. But judging from the situation of previous martial arts tournaments, with your two strengths, I'm afraid it's not enough." Madam Liu Hua said slowly.

Hearing this, Han Li smiled helplessly. From this point of view, it is impossible not to fight with all his strength in this martial arts tournament.

"Can you really brew this so-called Blood Plasma Wine?" Madam Liu Hua subconsciously stroked her flower braid beard and asked with a frown.

"It concerns Junior's life, so how dare I speak falsely?" Han Li said.

"Okay, if you can really brew the wine and bring the Sky Scale Meteorite Crystal, I will remove the Black Calamity Insects for you for free." Madam Liu Hua slapped her thigh and said.

"Then thank you, Senior. This matter still requires some preparation work, Junior will take his leave first." Han Li said with cupped fists.

"This kid is quite sensible." Madam Liu Hua muttered to herself when she saw him take the initiative to leave.

After saying a word, he and Gu Qianxun looked at each other, speechless for a long time.

"I believe you have guessed the relationship between your mother and me..." Madam Liu Hua sighed and said.

"Why did you leave her, causing her to be alone and harmed by villains?" Gu Qianxun asked with red eyes.

"Your mother has too strong of a personality. It's not that I didn't want to stay by her side, it's that she didn't want to stay by my side... alas, these old things can't be explained in a sentence or two, and it's useless to say anything now. Since Du Qingyang is dead, I will naturally find Qin Yuan to collect the rest of the debt." Madam Liu Hua shook his head and said with some bitterness.

"No need... I will avenge my mother's revenge myself." Gu Qianxun said coldly.

"In any case, the most important thing now is to get rid of the Black Calamity Insects in your body first." Madam Liu Hua frowned slightly and said.

"I have a question, why do you have to force Li Fellow Daoist to be your disciple before you are willing to save him? If it's just because of his human identity, I don't believe it." Gu Qianxun raised an eyebrow and asked suspiciously.

"The reason why I want to keep him is actually because I value his temperament and roots. From my experience, this kid is not as simple as he looks on the surface." Madam Liu Hua said meaningfully.

"Then why do you have to ask him to exchange the Sky Scale Meteorite Crystal?" Gu Qianxun asked again.

"This... on the one hand, I want to test whether he is really as powerful as I expected, on the other hand, the Sky Scale Meteorite Crystal is for you..." Madam Liu Hua said slowly.

Hearing this, Gu Qianxun's eyes changed slightly, and she was silent for a long time...

After leaving the Flame Yang Pagoda, Han Li finally found a solution, and he felt a lot more relaxed. He walked slowly back towards the City Lord's Mansion, and his pace seemed a little lighter.

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Han Li did not return to his residence. After pondering for a moment, he walked towards Chen Yang's residence, and soon came to his house and knocked on the door.

With a "creak", the door opened, revealing Chen Yang's figure.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Li, please come in." Chen Yang was slightly stunned when he saw Han Li, and hurriedly opened the door to invite him in.

There was another person in the room at this moment, but it was the one-horned man named Xuan Yuanxing, the referee in the Qingyang City Profound Fighting Arena.

Crab Daoren was not in the house, not knowing where he had gone.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Yuan." Han Li was slightly surprised and cupped his hands to Xuan Yuanxing.

Xuan Yuanxing stood up and nodded to Han Li.

"Are you two discussing things? If so, Li will come back later." Han Li looked at the table, where two cups of tea were placed, which were already cold.

"It's just a small matter, it's already been discussed. Fellow Daoist Li came to find the City Lord, there must be something important, you talk." Xuan Yuanxing said with a smile and bid farewell.

Han Li looked at Xuan Yuanxing's back, his heart slightly moved.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Li, I wonder what you came to me for this time?" Chen Yang invited Han Li to sit down, re-brewed two cups of tea, and asked.

"I want to ask Fellow Daoist Chen Yang for information on the participants from the other cities." Han Li didn't say anything else and said straight to the point.

"No problem, wait a moment." Chen Yang heard the words and immediately got up and walked towards the inner room.

After a while, he came out with a stack of papers.

"The information collected by Qingyang City is all here. I also have a booklet here. Fellow Daoist Li can take these materials back and take a good look at them." Chen Yang handed the paper in his hand to Han Li, with a smile on his face.

Although Han Li agreed to represent Qingyang City in the competition, he had been lukewarm towards the Five Cities Martial Arts Tournament before. Now that he finally began to pay attention to the competition, it naturally made him very happy.

He had high hopes for Han Li.

"Then thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen Yang." Han Li was not pretentious and took the information.

"Fellow Daoist Li suddenly wants these materials, did something happen?" Chen Yang's eyes flickered slightly and asked.

"Since Li is participating in the martial arts tournament, he naturally wants to win a good place. Does Fellow Daoist Chen Yang think this is strange of me?" Han Li looked at Chen Yang and asked rhetorically.

It might not be a good thing to let Chen Yang know about the Sky Scale Meteorite Crystal, just like Du Qingyang used the Black Calamity Insects to control those Profound Fighters.

"Haha, how could it be? I'm happy that Fellow Daoist Li is willing to participate with his heart." Chen Yang laughed and said quickly.

"Li will take these materials back and take a closer look." Han Li smiled faintly, got up and said goodbye.

Chen Yang got up and sent Han Li out the door.

Looking at Han Li's distant back, his face showed a look of contemplation, and after a while, he suddenly clapped his hands.

"City Lord." A figure walked out of the inner hall and knelt down in front of Chen Yang, it was the young servant who had once invited Han Li.

The young servant was wearing a black robe, and his temperament had changed greatly at this moment. His whole body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of shadow, as if he had merged with the darkness.

"Go and investigate where Li Feiyu went today and what he did." Chen Yang ordered in a deep voice.

The young servant agreed, and then his body swayed, and he disappeared into thin air.
