Wang Yu
Chapter 1010: Origins
"What you say is not without reason, but these are all just conjectures. And even if Han Daoyou secretly infiltrated, he shouldn't have any malicious intent towards the Green Fox Clan. Otherwise, in the situation just now, he could have easily killed the three of us here. Then, no one in the Green Fox Clan could stop him from doing whatever he wanted." Ye Luo pondered slightly, then shook her head and said solemnly.
"Since the patriarch thinks so, I won't say anything more." Elder Qiu was silent for a moment after hearing this, then said.
"It's good that Elder Qiu understands. Leaving aside why he came here, just the fact that he could so easily dispel the cold poison in my body shows that his strength is definitely far above ours. We must not offend such a person." Ye Luo's expression relaxed upon hearing this, and she cautioned again.
"I... understand. But if I discover even the slightest sign of him harming our clan, I will not let it go, even if it costs me my life." A look of pain flashed in Elder Qiu's eyes, and he slowly nodded.
Ye Luo didn't say much this time, but simply reached out and gently patted Elder Qiu's shoulder.
"Patriarch, you just dispelled the cold poison and haven't recovered your vitality. You should rest well. I'll take my leave first." Elder Qiu said, then took his leave.
Ye Luo nodded and, after watching Elder Qiu leave, returned to the jade bed and sat down cross-legged, circulating her energy to recover.
Nothing happened overnight.
The next morning, Ye Luo and Ye Su-su arrived at the small courtyard where Han Li was staying. Elder Qiu didn't come with them, and Ti Hun was also cultivating in the flower branch space and didn't come out.
"Green Fox City is located in a remote area and cannot be compared to the other prosperous cities in the Golden Source Mountain Range. In addition, our clan's architecture pursues a natural style, and there are no tall and magnificent places to entertain guests in the city. I can only let Han Daoyou stay in this kind of small courtyard. I'm truly sorry." Patriarch Ye Luo said apologetically.
After a day of rest, her complexion looked much better.
"Not at all, Han is more fond of this quiet environment." Han Li invited the two into the house and said with a smile.
"It's good that Han Daoyou likes it. Feel free to ask for anything you need, and don't stand on ceremony." Ye Luo nodded and said.
"Thank you for your concern, Patriarch. Han has heard that the Green Fox Clan is skilled at cultivating spirit herbs and would like to request some. This is the list." Han Li took out a jade slip and handed it over.
During the years on the road to the Golden Source Mountain Range, he hadn't been idle. He had been collecting materials for a Grand Prime level elixir called the "Azure Sky Pill."
He was now wealthy, with a large number of immortal essence stones in hand, as well as many precious materials from the Gray Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Scale Accumulation Void.
He had already basically collected all the materials for the Azure Sky Pill through the Reincarnation Palace mask, using immortal essence stones to purchase them or exchanging them for precious materials. Coincidentally, the remaining few materials were found here in Green Fox City.
Although Ye Luo had already learned about this from Ye Su-su, her expression still changed slightly after taking the jade slip and looking at it.
"Han needs a large number of spirit herbs, and the age requirements are also very high. But don't worry, Patriarch, Han is not asking the Green Fox Clan to provide them for free. This is the reward." Han Li took out a storage artifact and placed it on the table.
"Han Daoyou has shown great kindness to me and my daughter. Originally, these spirit herbs should have been offered as a gift. However, our clan has been developing poorly in recent years, and the turnover in all aspects is extremely difficult. I will shamelessly accept these immortal essence stones." Ye Luo's divine sense swept through the storage artifact, and her expression was slightly happy, then she said with a look of shame.
"Patriarch, please don't say that. It should be this way." Han Li waved his hand and said.
"Su-su, give the order to bring the materials that Han Daoyou needs." Ye Luo handed the jade slip to Ye Su-su next to her and instructed.
"Yes." Ye Su-su agreed and retreated.
"Han Daoyou, please forgive me for asking presumptuously, but what exactly brings you to my Green Fox City?" After Ye Su-su left, Ye Luo stared at Han Li and asked.
"Patriarch, don't worry. Han has no intention of harming Green Fox City. I just like the tranquility and safety here and want to close up and cultivate here for a period of time. I wonder if that's convenient?" Han Li pondered slightly and said straightforwardly.
"Just that?" Ye Luo's face flashed with surprise upon hearing this.
"Of course. I don't care about anything else in your Green Fox Clan. Patriarch can rest assured." Han Li waved his hand casually and said.
"In that case... I was overthinking things. If Han Daoyou just wants to stay in Green Fox City to cultivate, you are most welcome. It doesn't matter how long you stay." Ye Luo carefully observed every subtle expression on Han Li's face, and when she saw that he wasn't lying, she relaxed and smiled.
"Thank you for taking me in, Patriarch. However, I hope that the Patriarch can help conceal the news of me and Ti Hun being here. This will benefit both of us." Han Li thanked her, then said meaningfully.
"No problem." Ye Luo was stunned upon hearing this, then nodded in agreement.
The two had finished talking about serious matters frankly and openly, and they both relaxed slightly and began to chat, discussing various things in the Golden Source Mountain Range.
"Patriarch Ye Luo, Han has seen in some books that there are not many demon clans in the Golden Source Mountain Range, and most of them have migrated from the outside. Your Green Fox Clan is good at wood-attribute divine abilities and illusions, which is quite inconsistent with the situation here in the Golden Source Mountain Range. Could it be that your clan also migrated from the outside?" Han Li suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Han Daoyou is right. Our clan did migrate from the outside many years ago and settled here." Ye Luo nodded and said.
"Forgive my presumption, but I wonder where your clan migrated from?" Han Li asked.
"I'm not very clear about that. There are no definite records in the clan's books. I remember reading a handbook of an ancestor before. Our clan seemed to have migrated from the southern part of the Golden Source Continent. However, this matter is too far away, and I'm not very sure. Why are you asking this, Han Daoyou?" Ye Luo asked strangely.
"It's nothing. I just met another Liu-surname fox clan many years ago and felt that they were quite similar to your Green Fox Clan, so I just asked casually." Han Li said with a smile.
"Liu-surname fox clan? According to the clan's records, after our Green Fox Clan just settled here, a female ancestor named Liu Mei joined our clan. The secret technique for cultivating spirit herbs was brought by this ancestor. Speaking of which, Su-su and I are both descendants of this ancestor. However, this Liu Mei ancestor never mentioned her origin or life experience. She is an extremely mysterious figure in our clan's history. Could it be that she is related to the Liu-surname fox clan that Han Daoyou just mentioned?" Patriarch Ye Luo's eyes lit up and she guessed.
"Then I don't know. Han didn't have much contact with that Liu-surname fox clan and doesn't know if they are also good at cultivating spirit herbs." Han Li shook his head and said.
"Han Daoyou, regarding that Liu-surname fox clan, I wonder if you can tell me about it in detail." Ye Luo heard this and showed a hint of disappointment on her face, seemingly unwilling to give up, and asked again.
Han Li pondered slightly and roughly described the process of encountering the Liu Clan fox clan when he passed through the Savage Wilderness Realm many years ago, only concealing the parts involving himself.
Ye Luo listened to these and slowly nodded, then fell silent.
Just at this moment, Ye Su-su flew over from the outside and handed a storage artifact to Han Li.
"Senior Han, the spirit herbs you requested are all inside. Please inspect them."
Han Li took the storage artifact and swept it with his divine sense, nodding in satisfaction.
"In that case, we won't disturb Han Daoyou here. Thank you, Han Daoyou, for telling me these things." Ye Luo suddenly got up and bid farewell, pulling the still somewhat puzzled Ye Su-su with her.
Han Li sent the two out and closed the door behind him.
"What do you think of this Patriarch Ye Luo? Was what she just said sincere?" Han Li stood silently for a moment, then suddenly said to the void.
As soon as he finished speaking, a light gate appeared beside him, and the figure of Ti Hun emerged from it.
"This Patriarch Ye Luo's divine soul is quite pure and she is not someone who says one thing and means another. I carefully probed her divine soul fluctuations when she was speaking, and there were no abnormal changes. What she said was all the truth." Ti Hun thought for a moment and said.
"That's good. It wasn't in vain that I spent my vitality last night to help her dispel the cold poison." Han Li's expression relaxed upon hearing this.
After Ti Hun woke up, her law divine abilities greatly increased. Not only could she see through people's nature, but she could also judge whether the other party was lying by sensing their divine soul fluctuations. This saved him a lot of trouble.
"Master, the Liu-surname fox clan that you just mentioned to Patriarch Ye Luo, could it be the Sky Fox Clan where your Liu Le'er younger sister is located?" Ti Hun's beautiful eyes flashed and she asked.
"That's right. I just wanted to inquire about the relationship between the two." Han Li nodded.
"Then, does that mean that the Green Fox Clan is really a branch of the Sky Fox Clan?" Ti Hun asked.
"I once felt the bloodline power of the Sky Fox Clan in Fox San and others, which is quite similar to the Green Fox bloodline of Ye Su-su and others. Combined with the previously mentioned Old Ancestor Liu Mei, I think there is probably some connection between them." Han Li said thoughtfully.
"Master was once favored by the Liu Clan fox clan. In fact, staying here to close up, in addition to seeking a quiet place, is also to provide a kind of protection to this Green Fox Clan, right." Ti Hun nodded.
"This is just a temporary measure. When we leave here, I'll leave them some benefits. Next, I plan to immediately start closing up and cultivating. I don't know why I've been feeling uneasy recently. It seems that some danger is approaching, and I must improve my strength as soon as possible." Han Li didn't dwell on this issue for too long and changed the subject.
