At this moment, countless miles away from Han Li's cave residence, in a dim underground space, a figure in a grey robe was sitting cross-legged, wearing a scarlet dragon-head mask on his face, with the character 'Three' written on it.

This person was none other than Jiao San, who had just conducted a transaction with Han Li in the Unstable Alliance.

After staying in place for a moment, he suddenly stood up and turned to walk into one of the several passages connected to the space.

After walking for an unknown amount of time along a dark, lightless underground tunnel, the path suddenly opened up before him, revealing a cavernous space of several tens of feet in size. At the end of the space was a grey stone gate, shielded by a faint silver light curtain.

Without hesitation, Jiao San formed hand seals and chanted an incantation. The silver light curtain trembled and split open from the middle.

Only then did he push the door open and enter.

Beyond the entrance was a circular secret chamber, about twenty feet in size, with nothing inside except a stone table and a stone chair.

Sitting on the stone chair was an old man in black robes, sipping a cup of spiritual tea.

The tea water was a shocking blood-red color, emitting a rich, bloody aroma amidst its fragrance.

The old man had white eyebrows, a hawkish face, and a somewhat curved nose that resembled a hawk's beak at first glance. His pair of pale golden eyes gleamed with a cold light.

Jiao San glanced at the teacup in the white-browed old man's hand, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"How is it?" Seeing Jiao San appear, the white-browed old man put down his teacup and asked.

His voice was a little hoarse, like two pieces of metal rubbing together, yet it gave people an inexplicable feeling of fear.

"It was obtained near Red Moon Island," Jiao San said, sitting down next to the white-browed old man.

"Red Moon Island? Didn't you once go there to search back then?" The white-browed old man's eyebrows twitched slightly, as if surprised.

"Although my actions were disguised under the guise of the Unstable Alliance that day, it is difficult to guarantee that they were not discovered beforehand and deliberately done to confuse us," Jiao San said coldly.

The white-browed old man did not speak upon hearing this, but tapped the table lightly with his index finger, as if pondering something.

The old man did not speak, and Jiao San likewise did not say anything.

"What do you think of this matter? Is it another bewitching array by Black Wind Island?" After a long while, the white-browed old man asked.

"Probably not. If this matter was arranged by Black Wind Island, they shouldn't have arranged the location as Red Moon Island again," Jiao San pondered for a moment and said.

"That's true. In that case, we will re-investigate the area within a million miles of Red Moon Island and then act according to the original plan," the white-browed old man said.

Jiao San nodded.

The white-browed old man stood up and walked quickly towards the outside.

Seeing the figure disappear, Jiao San slowly stood up, took off the mask on his face, and walked towards the outside.

His back changed for a while, flashing with a hazy light, and then quickly became clear again, transforming into a graceful figure. The grey robe on his body also turned into a large red dress.

Walking, it was like a wisp of red flame swaying in the wind.

Jiao San's figure gradually moved away, quickly merging into the dimness outside.

……

Time flies, and more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the medicine garden, Han Li emitted a green light from his hand, carefully picking out a foot-tall Nectar Dew Grass and storing it in a jade box.

This was the third Nectar Dew Grass he had forced to mature.

Han Li waved his hand to put away the jade box, turned and walked out of the medicine garden, but instead of heading towards the secret room, he quickly left the cave residence.

With a flash of green light, his figure appeared in the half-sky above the island.

Han Li flipped his hand and took out several array disks of different colors, chanting an incantation and pointing with his hand.

The array disks suddenly showed various colors of light, and then turned into several beams of light and flew towards the bottom.

Boom!

Spiritual light suddenly flickered in the void around the cave residence, and a thick yellow light curtain emerged, with countless yellow mists rolling on it, submerging the cave residence inside.

Outside the island, there was an even louder muffled sound. Countless blue lights emerged from the sea, forming a blue hemispherical light curtain, with runes of varying sizes flashing on the surface, enveloping the entire island.

Han Li chanted an incantation and pointed with his hand, and several blue lights flew down and disappeared into the light curtain.

A wave-like glow suddenly appeared on the blue light curtain, rippling.

The light curtain, along with the island below, suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only the vast expanse of the sea in sight.

Seeing this scene, Han Li nodded in satisfaction.

He had personally modified these restrictions over the years. Even if a True Immortal Realm late-stage cultivator came here, they might not be able to break it in a short time.

The outermost concealment restriction was learned from a book in Tao Yu's storage magic tool. It was even more mysterious. Even if an Early-Stage Gold Immortal cultivator used their divine sense to investigate, they might not be able to discover this hidden island.

After doing all this, Han Li turned into a cyan rainbow and flew towards the distance.

Several days later, his figure stopped in the sky above a sea area with raging waves.

This place was also a remote and deserted place, similar to the temporary cave residence he had chosen before.

It was just that his cave residence was in the northwest of the Black Wind Sea Area, while this place was in the southwest direction of the Black Wind Sea Area.

He released his divine sense, flicked his body, and flew in one direction. After a few breaths, he landed on an island.

The island was not large, only less than a hundred miles in size. A grey mountain peak was located on it, and there were only grey rocks and soil everywhere, with few plants, making it look very desolate.

After Han Li swept his gaze over it, he flicked his fingers continuously.

Sword qi flew out, slashing at the mountainside of the grey peak.

Pieces of rock fell like rain, and after only a moment, a simple cave residence emerged.

Han Li flew into the cave residence, then waved his sleeve, and a series of glowing array flags flew out of it, numbering as many as several hundred.

He chanted an incantation and pointed at these array flags.

With a whoosh, these array flags turned into beams of light of various colors and flew out, disappearing near the cave residence in a flash.

Several layers of restrictive light curtains alternated and emerged, covering the cave residence and protecting it tightly. Combined with the flashing of light, they all merged into the void and disappeared.

After doing all this, he sat down cross-legged and with a flick of his sleeve, a golden thunder light flashed out, transforming into the figure of Krab Daoist.

"Krab Daoist, although it is unlikely that outsiders will appear here, to be on the safe side, please help me protect the Dharma when I am in secluded cultivation. If anyone breaks in, try your best to stop them first," Han Li said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, unless there is an existence far beyond the Golden Immortal Realm, I will stop them myself," Krab Daoist nodded, a layer of golden thunder light appeared on his body, and then his figure disappeared into the void.

Seeing this, Han Li's expression remained unchanged, but he was slightly shocked in his heart.

Because his divine sense suddenly couldn't sense the location of Krab Daoist.

His mind turned, and he secretly circulated the Refining Spirit Technique. A vast divine sense spread out, and only then did he vaguely sense a faint thunder and lightning wave in the nearby void.

This trace of thunder and lightning fluctuation was extremely weak. If his divine sense was not vast and he had not circulated the Refining Spirit Technique, it would have been impossible to discover it.

Han Li was secretly surprised, but he quickly shook his head and put the matter aside for the time being.

The reason why he was so careful and chose a temporary cave residence and set up layers of restrictions was because he was going to refine Dao Pills next.

According to the records in the classics, when the Dao Pill takes shape, the legendary Pill Tribulation may appear.

The so-called Pill Tribulation, according to the classics, is because each Dao Pill contains the purest power of the corresponding law. Some may have touched or even transcended the laws of heaven and earth in this world, and are rejected by the power of the interface, so the Pill Tribulation will be brought down to prevent the formation of the Dao Pill.

Once the Pill Tribulation forms, the movement is extremely great, and it is said to be above some Thunder Tribulations.

Although this place is remote, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not attract some people.

His original cave residence, other than the medicine garden being quite troublesome to move, was fine, so he decided to refine pills here. After all, even if this place is discovered, the buffer time provided by Krab Daoist is enough for him to leave calmly.

Han Li took a light breath, closed his eyes and sat quietly, motionless.

Time passed slowly, and after three days and three nights, he opened his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, a silver pill furnace emerged.

Immediately, a silver light flew out of his hand and landed at the bottom of the pill furnace, turning into a silver flame, with a silver villain faintly visible in the flame.

He then waved his arms continuously, and materials emerged one after another, almost filling the secret room.

At the same time, he recalled the refining process of the Dao Pill, which he had recalled countless times in his mind, several times again.

After confirming that there were no errors, he waved his hand and cast a magic formula.

Boom!

The silver flame at the bottom of the pill furnace suddenly burst into flames, and the pill furnace quickly became scorching hot.

Han Li moved his hand, and a white crystal grain emerged. It was the Time Crystal Grain, and it flew into the pill furnace.

Under the scorching heat of the flame at the bottom of the furnace, the surface of the white crystal grain seemed to melt slightly and become round.

The golden silk inside the crystal grain became bright and emitted bursts of time law power fluctuations.

He waved his hand to summon a jade box. Inside was a pure white spiritual ginseng, which was the Heaven Creation Ginseng.

A green light emitted from the other hand, covering the Heaven Creation Ginseng.

As the magic formula in Han Li's hand changed slightly, two large hands appeared in the green light, holding the spiritual ginseng and gently rolling it.

Although the Heaven Creation Ginseng was a rare spiritual object, it was not hard. It was immediately flattened and a large amount of white spiritual liquid poured out.

He moved his fingers slightly, and a green light emerged, catching the spiritual liquid and carefully placing it into the pill furnace.

The spiritual liquid immediately boiled, and some white smoke emerged from it.

Han Li's expression was solemn as he formed hand seals, controlling the flame at the bottom of the furnace.

In a few breaths, the white spiritual liquid turned into a small ball of white gelatinous substance, wrapping the time crystal grain inside.

Seeing this situation, he pondered slightly and then summoned another material, a small box of silver powder, which appeared to be bone powder ground from some kind of bone.

He raised his hand, and a green light emitted from his palm, wrapping the bone powder and throwing it into the pill furnace.

At the same time, his other hand kept forming hand seals, controlling the flame under the furnace.

The silver bone powder quickly melted and turned into a ball of silver liquid, merging with the white gelatinous substance.

Han Li didn't pause too much. He raised his hand again, took another material, and threw it into the pill furnace.

In this way, time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

Most of the materials in the secret room had been put into the pill furnace. At this moment, there was a white pill the size of a longan in the furnace, with some unevenness on the surface.

Under the scorching heat of the flame at the bottom of the furnace, the white pill rotated gently, emitting bursts of white spiritual energy.
