With a possible answer in his mind, Han Li looked at the distant mountain peaks, his face regaining a calm look.
After looking at Gong'er for a while longer, and after the distant fluctuations finally disappeared, he left the window thoughtfully, returned to the futon and sat down cross-legged, and slowly closed his eyes.
In the following days, except for Xu Qianyu who came to say hello, no one from the Xu family came to disturb his enlightenment practice.
However, judging from the worried look on the woman's face, it seemed that the Xu family's actions that night did not go too smoothly.
Sure enough, every night after that, the same celestial phenomena and fluctuations broke out one after another.
Several nights later, Fairy Qianyu seemed to have something to say to Han Li after saying hello, but when it came to her mouth, she hesitated and swallowed it back several times.
Han Li saw all this with his eyes, and he was thinking secretly in his heart, but his appearance was as dark as usual.
However, on the morning of the fifth day, Han Li, who was continuing to meditate on the talisman on the top floor of the attic, suddenly turned his palm over and the talisman disappeared in a flash.
He clearly sensed that at the attic door, in addition to Xu Qianyu who originally came to greet him, there was also the scent of Xu Jiao and another stranger.
This aura is very powerful, and it actually has the cultivation level of the late stage of refining the void.
This made a look of surprise flash on his face.
The Xu family actually has such a cultivating monk in their possession. It seems that they usually hide their secrets well enough, and they understand the principles of showing off in the forest and concealing clumsiness.
Just as Han Li was thinking about it, the respectful words of the head of the Xu family came from below:
"Junior Xu Jiao, I would like to pay my respects to Senior Han. I wonder if Senior has time to meet with this junior."
"It turns out that Patriarch Xu has arrived. There is no need to be so polite. Please wait in the hall for a moment. Han will go down right away." Han Li replied calmly, then got up and walked downstairs.
After a while, Han Li's figure appeared at the stairway of the first floor hall, and his eyes immediately glanced at the stranger who was in the late stage of Void Refining.
The person standing side by side with Xu Jiao was a young man wearing a half-worn gray robe. He was only twenty-seven or eighty years old. He also looked at Han Li with a smile.
Upon closer inspection, the young man's appearance is somewhat similar to that of Xu Jiao. Standing together, the two look like Xu Jiao's nephew.
"Senior. This is Xu Yuan, the eldest elder of our Xu family. He has reached a critical point in his cultivation a few days ago, so he was unable to leave in time to greet his senior." When Xu Jiao saw Han Li, he immediately saluted and introduced the people around him.
said.
"Great Elder? Fellow Taoist Xu Yuan has reached the Great Perfection stage in the late stage of Void Refining. I'm afraid he can break through the bottleneck of integration at any time. If he passes, he will become one of our generation." Han Li looked at the young man for a few times and suddenly laughed.
.
"Senior has a keen eye. Junior has indeed begun to prepare to break through the bottleneck. However, the chance of passing is really slim." The young man also bowed respectfully to Han Li, and then replied with a sigh.
Han Li smiled slightly after hearing this, but did not say anything. After sitting down at the main table, he motioned for a few others to sit down and talk again.
After Xu Jiao and the others thanked him, they sat on both sides of Han Li.
"Clan Chief Xu came here this time. Could it be that he already has news about our ancestors?" Han Li said straight to the point without mincing words.
But what he said was so direct that Xu Jiao was startled, then the corner of his mouth twitched and he smiled bitterly:
"If my senior had asked me yesterday, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to give an accurate answer, but this time I came here because I asked my senior for this very thing."
"Begging me?" Han Li raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a little surprised.
"To be honest with you senior, the things that senior handed over this time are indeed a way to find out the whereabouts of the ancestors of Bingpo. However, our Xu family is somewhat unable to do it alone. I'm afraid we need to rely on the power of our seniors." Xu Jiao simply explained directly.
Got the intention.
"What my nephew said is true. For this matter, all three of us Xu family monks in the Void Refining stage have tried, but we still have no magic power, so we can only ask our seniors for help." Xu Yuanye said with a condensed expression.
"There is such a thing! Can you two fellow Taoists tell us the whole story in detail?" Han Li's eyes flashed, but he said calmly.
With his current status and cultivation, he would not easily agree to anything.
"Of course, even if the seniors don't ask, the juniors will take the initiative to report first." Xu Jiao agreed, and after thinking about it for a moment, he continued:
"Actually, things are not complicated. I wonder if seniors have ever heard of the 'Blood Soul Technique'?"
"The Blood Soul Technique! It sounds familiar. Hey, could it be the 'Blood Soul Technique' practiced by Master Blood Crystal tens of thousands of years ago?" Han Li frowned at first, but then he thought of something related and his expression changed.
He said with a slight change.
"Senior, I have indeed heard of this secret technique. This Master of Blood Crystal is a rare genius that our human race will never encounter in thousands of years. Not only did he create the Blood Soul Technique, but he also used this technique to kill beings of the same level from other races. To be honest,
Senior, although Master Blood Crystal has fallen long ago, his mantle was accidentally discovered by the ancestor Ice Soul Fairy. Although this magic is similar to the magic way, the ancestors cannot re-modify the magic, but they still choose it.
I have practiced several life-saving secret techniques, and also refined several related life-saving treasures. Among the things handed over by the seniors this time, there is a "blood soul bottle" sacrificed by the ancestors, which contains a
A wisp of blood soul. As long as this blood soul can be reawakened, the traces of the ancestors will naturally be known." Xu Jiao said while paying attention to Han Li's expression.
But apart from when he understood the blood soul bottle, Han Lishen's eyes flashed inadvertently, and he could no longer see anything strange.
"The signs that appear at night these days are caused by you awakening the blood souls." Han Li asked suddenly after being silent for a moment.
"What the senior said is correct. The junior did not dare to delay anything, so he gathered people and held the awakening ceremony that night. But it is a pity..." Xu Jiao showed a hint of helplessness when he said this.
"Unfortunately, I don't know whether it's because the blood soul has been sealed for too long, or because our bloodline is not very pure, but the awakening has failed several times. And because the talisman that sealed the blood soul has been revealed, if it doesn't happen within two days,
When the blood soul awakens, this ray of blood soul of the ancestors will really dissipate completely." The young man sighed and interjected from the side.
"Does your Xu family want Han to participate in the awakening ceremony?" Han Li asked noncommittally.
"Senior Mingjian. In the past few days, I have tried all the methods, but to no avail. I have no choice but to seek help from senior." Xu Jiao stood up again and bowed to Han Li, speaking with a sincere look on his face.
"If it's really due to a lack of magic power, it's okay for Han to use all his strength. But if it's a problem with the blood soul or the awakening ritual itself, there's nothing I can do about it." Han Li touched his chin, and after a while, he said calmly.
.
"Of course. If it's really our problem, it can only be said to be God's will." Hearing this, Xu Jiao nodded happily.
Xu Yuan and Xu Qianyu also looked overjoyed.
"Without further ado, Han will take a look at the blood soul of fellow Bingpo Daoist and the awakening ceremony you have prepared." After Han Li agreed, he immediately stood up and ordered with a fierce and resolute look.
.
"Okay. Although this ceremony can only be held at a specific time at night, seniors might as well go and see it first to learn more about it!" Xu Jiao only thought about it briefly and felt that there was no problem, so he agreed.
If Fairy Bingpo and the other ancestors of the Xu family could really be recovered, the Xu family would immediately become one of the super families of the human race.
For this reason, Xu Jiao, Xu Yuan and other elders tried their best to awaken this ray of blood soul of the Ice Soul Fairy.
Han Li followed the three Xu family members out of the attic, and then flew straight towards the distant mountain peak that emitted waves at night.
It's such a short distance, so we'll be there in no time.
All around the seemingly ordinary mountain peaks, there were clusters of colorful forbidden auras everywhere, and among these auras, guards wearing blue armor were looming.
With a sweep of his mind, Han Li easily discovered that most of these guards were at the Nascent Soul level, and there seemed to be hundreds of them.
This small amount of manpower may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of a force like Tianyuan City, but for a family, it is enough to be amazing.
Moreover, each of these guards was cleverly hidden within the confinement. No one made a sound or talked, and looked well-trained. This is even more rare for a family.
Seemingly discovering Han Li's abnormality, Xu Jiao explained aloud from the side:
"It makes the seniors laugh. This is the secret guard of our Xu family, and it is also the most elite force of the Xu family. Although fighting alone is not worth mentioning in front of high-level monks, three or four people working together can be enough to fight against
A battle between god-level monks."
"Oh, so it seems that these people are also proficient in the secret art of joining forces." Han Li said with some interest.
"Haha, it's true. It is very taboo to be disturbed in this awakening ceremony. For the sake of caution, all the secret guards in the clan are arranged here." Xu Jiao explained again.
This time, Han Li nodded and said nothing more.
Xu Jiao used the magic weapon in his hand, and after separating the restraints, the group of people landed in front of a huge building that looked like a temple on the mountainside.
On a plaque directly above the temple gate, there is only an ancient Chinese character "Xu" written in silver powder.
Near the gate, there were seven or eight secret guards, guarding there with expressionless faces.
The strange thing is that the door is tightly closed, but a side door next to it that can only allow one person to pass is open.
Han Li's expression moved slightly.
"Senior, please forgive me. This is the ancestral temple of our Xu family, so we can only enter the underground secret hall through the side door." Xu Yuan said apologetically.
"It's nothing, it's as it should be." Han Li waved his hands as if he didn't care.
Hearing what Han Li said, Xu Yuan and Xu Jiao both breathed a sigh of relief.
If the other party is really dissatisfied because of this matter, it will naturally be a loss that outweighs the gain for them.
So a group of people passed through a side door and entered the Xu family's ancestral temple.
