In the midst of their conversation, Hu Yan Daoren waved his hand, sending a streak of red light that floated motionless before Han Li.

Han Li narrowed his eyes, seeing a light-golden jade bottle within the red light, faintly emitting a refreshing medicinal fragrance.

"This is a bottle of Six Harmonious Profound Pill. It can not only heal injuries, but also greatly restore vital essence. You forcefully crossed the Fallen Soul Wind and encountered the Yin Fiends, causing great damage to your vital essence, so this is perfect for you," Hu Yan Daoren said slowly.

"Senior Hu Yan is being too polite. Aside from anything else, I am already indebted to both of you for your timely assistance just now. How can I possibly accept any reward for answering a question or two?" Han Li shook his head, sending the jade bottle back with a wave of his hand.

Seeing this, Hu Yan Daoren didn't say anything and put the jade bottle away.

Han Li paused slightly, then recounted his observations of the current Black Wind Sea region, even mentioning the presence of people from the Northern Cold Immortal Palace on Black Wind Island.

However, he didn't mention his joining the Samsara Temple, as it involved his own secrets. After all, although he secretly suspected that Hu Yan Daoren was also a member of the Samsara Temple, the other party had never admitted it.

Hu Yan Daoren and Yun Ni exchanged glances with flickering eyes, seemingly deep in thought, but their expressions weren't particularly surprised, as if they had expected this.

"Judging by your expressions, you don't seem particularly surprised by the changes in the Black Wind Sea region, or by the appearance of the Northern Cold Immortal Palace here?" Han Li said after finishing, looking at the two of them and smiling.

Hu Yan Daoren raised his white eyebrows slightly upon hearing this, while Yun Ni glanced at the old Daoist.

A silence fell over the atmosphere.

"If the two seniors find it inconvenient to answer, then please pretend that I didn't say anything," Han Li said with a faint smile.

"Haha, since Fellow Daoist Li is so candid, I won't hide anything either," Hu Yan Daoren said with a smile after a moment of contemplation.

"Hu Yan!" Yun Ni frowned slightly.

"It's fine, Fellow Daoist Li isn't an outsider, and besides, we might even need Fellow Daoist Li's help with this matter," Hu Yan Daoren said meaningfully with a wave of his hand.

Yun Ni was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything more.

"Senior Hu Yan, what do you mean by that? If there's something difficult to say, you don't have to," Han Li frowned slightly. He wanted nothing more than to stay out of trouble and didn't want to get involved in anything troublesome.

"Fellow Daoist Li, don't rush to ask, listen to me finish. This matter may not be a great opportunity for you," Hu Yan Daoren said with a hint of mystery.

"Senior, please speak," Han Li said, his mind racing.

"You mentioned earlier that various disasters and anomalies have been occurring frequently in the Black Wind Sea region in recent years. In fact, there is a cause for this. In short, it is due to an immortal mansion about to be born, causing spiritual vein disturbances. The people from the Northern Cold Immortal Palace are here for the same reason. To be honest, Fellow Daoist Li, we are also heading to the Black Wind Sea region because of this," Hu Yan Daoren said slowly with a solemn expression.

Han Li's body trembled upon hearing this, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

This information was like a thunderbolt that exploded in his heart. Even though he was somewhat mentally prepared, he was still shaken.

While shocked, Han Li recalled some previously perplexing questions, and everything suddenly became clear.

The strange behavior of Black Wind Island and Qingyu Island, and the sudden appearance of the Northern Cold Immortal Palace, were all because of this.

Even Jiao San's painstaking efforts to recruit him into the Samsara Temple and promise him heavy rewards to refine the Void Essence Pill were probably related to this immortal mansion.

His mind raced, he took a light breath, quickly calmed his mind, and continued to listen intently.

"... This immortal mansion is called the Underworld Cold Immortal Mansion. It is the cave dwelling left behind by a senior expert named 'Underworld Cold Immortal Monarch' countless years ago. The exact number of years is no longer verifiable, but it is said that this Immortal Monarch senior once used great magic to seal the immortal mansion into a void rift, and then disappeared. After that, every tens of thousands of years, this immortal mansion will appear somewhere in the Northern Cold Immortal Domain... There are countless treasures in the immortal mansion, including pills, cultivation methods, and immortal artifacts. Every time it opens, it will cause competition among various forces. It can be said that the Underworld Cold Immortal Mansion is the number one treasure of the Northern Cold Immortal Domain," Hu Yan Daoren continued.

As he spoke, he secretly observed Han Li's expression.

However, Han Li's reaction was somewhat beyond Hu Yan Daoren's expectations. Apart from being somewhat surprised at the beginning, he remained calm throughout.

"Underworld Cold Immortal Mansion... sounds good. The opportunity you mentioned, senior, is it for me to explore this immortal mansion with the two of you?" Han Li asked after a moment of silence.

"That's right! Such an opportunity is rare and hard to come by. Fellow Daoist Li, are you not interested?" Hu Yan Daoren asked.

"Listening to your words, senior, this Underworld Cold Immortal Mansion has existed for countless years, and it should have been born many times. Even if there are some treasures inside, they have probably been looted clean, right?" Han Li asked, instead of answering Hu Yan's question.

"Regarding this, you don't need to worry at all. There are many mechanisms and restrictions inside the immortal mansion, and it is not easy to seize treasures. Those who are not strong enough rashly enter, and many are left behind forever, and their relics have also become part of the immortal mansion's treasures. In addition, according to the last opening, some people found other caves in the immortal mansion, and I don’t know what great opportunities are inside," Hu Yan Daoren said with a smile.

Han Li did not become as excited as Hu Yan Daoren expected, but fell silent again.

Seeing Han Li like this, Hu Yan Daoren did not urge him, but just looked at him with a smile.

"Thank you for the invitation, senior, but although there are opportunities to break into this kind of immortal mansion secret realm, it must also be accompanied by great danger. I will not participate," Han Li said after a moment of silence, raising his head.

What is most important to him now is to find a way to break through to the Golden Immortal stage. This Underworld Cold Immortal Mansion sounds good, but he doesn’t know how many dangers are inside.

Most importantly, the Northern Cold Immortal Palace has also sent many people this time, including some high-level Golden Immortal existences. If they discover his identity, this immortal mansion may be his burial place.

"Fellow Daoist Li is worried about encountering people from the Northern Cold Immortal Palace in the immortal mansion?" Hu Yan Daoren seemed to see through Han Li's thoughts and said.

"I am just a lowly True Immortal cultivator, and I am afraid that I have no resistance when encountering people from the Northern Cold Immortal Palace," Han Li did not deny it and nodded.

He still had something to say, Hu Yan Daoren and Yun Ni were both being hunted down by the Northern Cold Immortal Palace, and following the two into the Underworld Cold Immortal Mansion would only increase the possibility of exposure.

"Actually, you don't need to worry about this at all. I know that you have also joined the Unconstant Alliance. The Unconstant Mask itself contains extremely mysterious illusionary powers, and even Golden Immortals cannot easily see through it. If the three of us use this to transform our appearance and pretend to be three rogue cultivators to sneak in, even the people from the Northern Cold Immortal Palace may not be able to see through our identities. And every time the Underworld Cold Immortal Mansion is born, there are many forces that come. This time, the Cangliu Palace, the Fuling Sect, etc., will definitely send people here. Although the Northern Cold Immortal Palace is powerful, it is also the target of public criticism, and I think it will not be able to spare much effort to deal with us ‘rogue cultivators’," Hu Yan Daoren shook his head and said to Han Li.

"Unconstant Mask... Senior is saying, the Cangliu Palace and the Fuling Sect have also sent people to the Black Wind Sea region?" Han Li asked with a surprised expression.

"Every time the immortal mansion is opened, the three major sects, including my Candle Dragon Dao, have never been absent. Now that the Candle Dragon Dao has suffered, these two sects have not been affected much. Now that they have learned the news of the immortal mansion's birth, they must have sent people to the Black Wind Sea region. And because of the Candle Dragon Dao, the hostility of these two major sects towards the Northern Cold Immortal Palace is gradually increasing, and it is not certain that they will join forces in the immortal mansion to take action," Hu Yan Daoren added.

"Senior is saying that the Northern Cold Immortal Palace will probably use most of its energy to deal with them this time, and will not pay attention to us at all?" Han Li asked.

"That's right," Hu Yan Daoren nodded with a smile.

Han Li touched his chin and fell into thought.

Hu Yan Daoren's words made some sense. Not only the Cangliu Palace and the Fuling Sect, but also the Samsara Temple, the Northern Cold Immortal Palace's mortal enemy...

Jiao San was mysterious before, and he was probably preparing to enter the immortal mansion.

The Northern Cold Immortal Palace has so many enemies, both overt and covert, that I am afraid it really won't have much time to spare.

"Besides, there are many treasures in the immortal mansion. With your current cultivation, you may be able to find an opportunity to break through the bottleneck and achieve the Golden Immortal stage. It is not impossible," Hu Yan Daoren continued to persuade him, seeing that Han Li seemed a little moved.

"Are there treasures in the immortal mansion that can break through to the Golden Immortal stage? Please enlighten me, senior," Han Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately asked.

"This... I just heard about it. Although it is just a rumor, I think this statement should be true. After all, in the past, someone found a furnace of top-quality pills in the immortal mansion that could help improve the cultivation of Golden Immortals..." Hu Yan Daoren said after a slight pause.

"It seems that senior doesn't know much about this immortal mansion either. There may be some treasures in the mansion, but I really don't want to risk my life for some unnecessary things," Han Li shook his head after pondering for a moment.

"In fact, it is reasonable for you to think like this. We cultivators have bodies worth a thousand pieces of gold, and we should not take risks easily. But the cultivation method you practice is the *True Words Mystical Wheel Sutra*, right?" Hu Yan Daoren asked suddenly, changing the subject slightly after pondering.

"That's right," Han Li was stunned, not understanding what Hu Yan Daoren meant, but he nodded.

"Hehe, although you have practiced this cultivation method, you may not be very clear about the origin of this cultivation method, right?" Hu Yan Daoren said with a smile.

"I have to ask Senior Hu Yan for advice," Han Li was stunned and cupped his fists.

"Although this *True Words Mystical Wheel Sutra* is one of the three great cultivation methods of the Candle Dragon Dao, it was not inherited, but was snatched by Hundred Miles Dao Master from a sect called True Words Sect many years ago," Hu Yan Daoren said.
