"Haha, it seems Fellow Daoist Hu Yan has gained quite a bit over the years, able to be accompanied by these immortal wines and exquisite dew every day, truly deserving the title of Wine Immortal." Han Li said with a smile.

"I've collected a lot of fine wines, but it's a pity there's no connoisseur to share them with. Now that you've come, kid, it's the perfect opportunity to drink to our hearts' content," Hu Yan Daoist laughed heartily.

"I'll naturally keep you company," Han Li naturally wouldn't refuse.

The two sat facing each other, Hu Yan Daoist took out the fine wines he had collected over the years, chatting about the things that had happened in recent years, and drinking heartily.

Soon, both of them were a little tipsy.

Han Li talked about what he had seen at the Candle Dragon Path some time ago.

Hu Yan Daoist had stayed in the Candle Dragon Path longer than Han Li, and his feelings for it were deeper. Hearing this, he was stunned and couldn't help but sigh.

"After this great tribulation passes, if Fellow Daoist Hu Yan is willing, you can return to the Northern Cold Immortal Domain to revitalize the Candle Dragon Path. Don't worry about resources, I can lend you a hand." Han Li said, seeing Hu Yan Daoist's expression.

His *Zhen Yan Transformation Wheel Scripture* came from the Candle Dragon Path, so he still had some affection for it.

With his current cultivation and wealth, revitalizing a small sect like the Candle Dragon Path was just a piece of cake. When he was at the Candle Dragon Path some time ago, he was focused on cultivation and couldn't attend to this matter.

"Hehe, you kid are talking big, it seems you really have some ability. But everything flourishes and decays in order, according to a fixed number, and the rise and fall of sects are the same. We shouldn't interfere forcibly, let's talk about it when the time is right," Hu Yan Daoist glanced at Han Li in surprise, then said with a faint smile, raising his glass to drink.

"Fellow Daoist Hu Yan's personality is still the same, but your actions are quite different from the past," Han Li raised an eyebrow and said thoughtfully.

"Having experienced so many things, especially this great drop in strength, this old Daoist has seen through many things. Kindness and grudges are all fleeting clouds. Thinking too much is useless, it's better to sing and drink while we can, how long is life?" Hu Yan Daoist chuckled.

"Kindness and grudges are all fleeting clouds... all fleeting clouds..." Han Li muttered.

"The current me is no longer the me of the past, I don't know what the future holds, and I don't want to figure it out, I'm no longer obsessed with the future me. As the saying goes, drink while you have wine today!" Hu Yan Daoist said, shaking his head and drinking a cup himself.

"That's right, not only kindness, grudges, and love, but also friendship, family, pain, and happiness, are all just the mind's obsession with the past, present, and future, so there's no need to care or even bother," a flash of understanding flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he muttered to himself.

Hu Yan Daoist held up his empty wine glass, looking at Han Li strangely, somewhat puzzled.

"Similarly, the physical body is born from the essence and blood of the father and mother. From the moment we embark on the path of cultivation, we absorb the energy of heaven and earth. The bones and blood of the physical body have been replaced countless times, and even at the current realm, they are changing every moment," Han Li said, his eyes slowly brightening.

"Since there's no need to be attached to the physical body and consciousness, I am not me, you are not you, and he is not him, all is illusory, all is fleeting clouds. But illusion doesn't mean non-existence, just like the reason why I am here drinking with you now, all has cause, all follows the Dao..." Han Li continued.

Hu Yan Daoist shook his head, ignoring Han Li, and drank three more large cups by himself.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Hu Yan." Han Li stood up suddenly and bowed to Hu Yan Daoist.

"Hey, Li boy, what are you doing?" Hu Yan Daoist saw this and hurriedly stood up.

"Fellow Daoist Hu Yan, your words just now have untied a knot in my cultivation," Han Li didn't explain too much.

Hu Yan Daoist didn't say much after hearing Han Li's words, just laughed heartily.

The two of them didn't talk about cultivation matters at all next, indulging in fine wine, reminiscing about the past, and talking about the vast immortal path.

Those fine wines were all immortal wines containing spiritual power, and many of them contained boundless immortal spiritual power. With Hu Yan Daoist's current cultivation realm, he naturally got drunk quickly.

Han Li waved his hand and sent Hu Yan Daoist to bed. He scanned his body with his divine sense, frowned slightly, and then pushed the door open and walked out.

It was already dark, and a round, white moon, like a silver plate, was embedded in the air, scattering large swathes of silver light.

The valley was quiet, and the pavilion beside it was already dark, Nangong Wan and Yun Ni seemed to have already rested.

Han Li hadn't seen such a quiet night for a long time, and couldn't help but stroll in the valley, enjoying the rare peace.

"Senior Li." A voice came from the front, and then a white figure walked out of the bamboo forest beside him, it was Bai Suyuan.

She had changed into a white dress, making her even more pitiful.

"Girl Suyuan, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" Han Li asked.

"Senior Li's cultivation is profound, you should have already seen the current state of Senior Hu Yan's body, right?" Bai Suyuan said after a moment of silence.

"Fellow Daoist Hu Yan's innate vitality is severely depleted, and it doesn't seem to be caused by injuries. I've seen this kind of situation in some cultivators who have used the method of imparting and transferred their innate vitality to others," Han Li said calmly.

"Senior Li, you're right, Senior Hu Yan's cultivation has greatly declined, not because he said he was injured, it's all because of me." Bai Suyuan said in a low voice.

Han Li didn't show the slightest surprise, standing there quietly, waiting for the rest of the story.

"Senior Hu Yan was indeed injured in a fight with someone in the past, but it didn't hurt his foundation. He would have recovered after a period of recuperation. It's hateful that I wanted to take revenge because my master was killed, and I rushed to break through the Golden Immortal Realm bottleneck without being fully prepared, causing my meridians to be in chaos, and I almost lost my life. Senior Hu Yan, in order to save me, disregarded his own injuries and used the method of imparting, using his innate vitality that he had painstakingly cultivated for many years to help me suppress the injuries, and then helped me break through the realm. He himself ended up with his vitality exhausted, and his cultivation falling." Bai Suyuan said sadly.

"So that's what happened," Han Li sighed.

Bai Suyuan rushed forward and knelt down in front of Han Li.

"Senior Hu Yan's condition cannot be treated by experts below the Taiyi Realm. Senior Li, your cultivation is profound, you should have already advanced to the Taiyi Realm. I beg Senior Li to lend a hand, this little girl is willing to be a servant to repay Senior's great kindness." Bai Suyuan's clear eyes were filled with tears, looking like she was about to cry, making people unable to resist feeling pity.

Han Li's eyebrows moved, and he waved his sleeve.

Bai Suyuan's body was lifted up by a force and stood up.

"Fellow Daoist Hu Yan and I are old acquaintances, and he just helped me a lot, so I will heal him without you asking," Han Li said lightly.

Saying that, he took out a white jade bottle and handed it to Bai Suyuan.

Bai Suyuan was surprised and delighted, and timidly took the medicine bottle. A refreshing fragrance came out through the bottle wall.

Her spirits were greatly lifted, and the immortal spiritual power in her body was also slightly surging, and she was overjoyed again.

"Inside the bottle are ten Immortal Zhizhi Vitality Pills, which can best replenish innate vitality. Have Fellow Daoist Hu Yan take one every ten days, and he will be able to recover his vitality within two months. As for his cultivation, as long as he cultivates diligently, he will be able to recover to his original state quickly," Han Li said.

"Thank you, Senior Li," Bai Suyuan was overjoyed and thanked him again.

"You go, I quite like the moonlight here, and I want to see it again." Han Li waved his hand lightly, and then continued to walk forward.

Bai Suyuan hesitated for a moment, bowed to Han Li's back, and retreated.

Han Li strolled in the valley, and soon came to a small pavilion deep in a bamboo forest.

A woman in white was standing here, it was Nangong Wan.

However, her body was surrounded by a layer of invisible water waves, making her figure look looming.

"Husband, people are going to repay you as a servant, why are you so cold to them?" Nangong Wan said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"That bottle of Immortal Zhizhi Vitality Pills is enough to heal Fellow Daoist Hu Yan's injuries, and it can be considered as repaying his favor. Let's go, the cause and effect here has ended, it's no longer a place for us to stay for long," Han Li said with a smile, shaking his head, and took Nangong Wan's hand.

With a flash of lightning, the figures of the two disappeared from the valley.

The next moment, the two appeared in mid-air.

"Where are we going next?" Nangong Wan's expression seemed to relax, and she asked.

"Outer Territory." A flash of light flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he took Nangong Wan into the sky.

Soon, they came to the Outer Territory and found a safe place to open up a simple cave.

He then took Nangong Wan into the Flower Branch Space.

"Husband wants to continue the previous cultivation?" Nangong Wan looked at Han Li.

Han Li nodded gently.

"Wan'er can't help her husband's cultivation, but I believe my husband will succeed." Nangong Wan said with a slight curtsey.

"Wan'er's trust is the greatest help to her husband." Han Li hugged Nangong Wan and gently kissed her on the forehead, then turned and entered the pavilion where he had previously cultivated.

All the restrictions on the ground of the pavilion were still there, operating normally.

Han Li sat cross-legged within the restrictions, calming his mind.

A day and a night passed, and his mind was completely calm, and he entered the divine sense space again.

Han Li in green robes sat here as always, raising his eyes to look over.

He looked Han Li up and down, his expression becoming solemn.

"Hehe, your state of mind has improved a lot, it seems that you came in this time to really start to slay the corpse," Han Li in green robes said.

"That's right." Han Li didn't waste any words, his figure rushed forward like electricity, a large amount of golden light shot out from his body, instantly forming a spiritual domain to cover down.

To his surprise, Han Li in green robes didn't dodge when he saw it, allowing Han Li's spiritual domain to cover him.

Han Li's eyes fluctuated slightly, but he didn't stop casting spells at all, and a crystal light flashed in the center of his brow.

The void around Han Li in green robes moved, and countless crystal chains shot out from it, firmly binding him.

Han Li in green robes was not worried about his situation at all, and even had a smile on his lips.

Everything around Han Li disappeared, the divine sense space, and Han Li in green robes, all disappeared, leaving only endless deep darkness.

"Illusion?" Han Li looked around, immediately running the Refining God Technique, and the light in the center of his brow shone brightly again.

Strands of extremely powerful divine sense fluctuations flew towards the surroundings, turning into giant swords of divine sense, slashing towards the surrounding space.

But the black space fluctuated slightly, and those giant swords of divine sense were swallowed, without causing a single ripple.

Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was secretly shocked.

These years, he had been constantly fighting with his self-corpse, and his Refining God Technique had advanced another step, already approaching the Great Perfection of the seventh level. His divine sense power was extremely powerful. Even if a Dao Ancestor who cultivated the illusion law laid out an illusion space, he should be able to shake it.

At this moment, the scenery around him changed, the black void disappeared, and he appeared above a pool of blood.

The viscous blood filled the pool, emitting a nauseating stench.

"Roar!" Five blue-faced, fanged ghosts jumped out of the pool of blood, rushing towards Han Li.

These ghosts were extremely ferocious, their bodies covered with blood-colored cysts, constantly spewing out streams of foul-smelling blood, their snake-like eyes were filled with blood-red cold light, and seven or eight arms grew on both sides of their ribs. Each arm had different sharp claws, each one was ugly and fierce, making people feel disgusted.

These five ghosts seemed to have gathered all the fierceness and ugliness in the world, and their expressions were extremely ferocious, as if they were going to eat people and drink blood.
