A few days later.

Han Li was sitting quietly in the secret chamber of his temporary cave, cultivating, when suddenly his expression changed and he opened his eyes. He stood up, went outside, and cast a spell with a wave of his hand.

The cave door opened with a rumble, and a dark-skinned figure stood outside. It was Mu Xue.

"Senior Liu, I have some information about the matter you asked me to inquire about." Mu Xue hurriedly bowed respectfully to Han Li and said.

"Come in and talk." Han Li nodded and let Mu Xue enter the cave.

"Senior, according to the information I have gathered so far, there are two official ways to obtain that teleportation slot." Mu Xue didn't waste any time after entering and immediately got to the point.

"Oh? What are the two ways? Tell me about them." Han Li said.

"The first is to have a cultivation base of True Immortal Realm or higher and serve as a guest elder in the Island Lord's Mansion, at his beck and call for a hundred years, at which time you can obtain a slot. The second method is to complete some tasks occasionally issued by the Island Lord's Mansion. Sometimes these tasks will have teleportation slot rewards." Mu Xue said.

Han Li fell silent upon hearing this.

He naturally wouldn't consider the first method.

The Ten Directions Tower's wanted notice and the mysterious chains placed on his Nascent Soul made him feel uneasy, which was one of the main reasons why he was so eager to leave the Black Wind Sea Area. A hundred years was too long, and unforeseen events could occur.

The tasks that could obtain a teleportation slot using the second method were probably quite difficult, but compared to the first one, it should be more suitable for him. He could pay attention to them when the time came.

"Senior, in addition to these two methods on the surface, I also heard that teleportation slots are also traded on the black market, but the price... is really high." Mu Xue lowered her voice a bit when she saw Han Li's silence.

"How much?"

"At least five Immortal Essence Stones are needed, and it's said that they're not easy to buy."

Han Li shook his head. Adding the teleportation fee afterward would be a full ten Immortal Essence Stones.

Even a True Immortal Realm cultivator in the early stage would need to spend a thousand years to refine that many even without cultivation.

He had inquired through the Unstable Alliance before, and it was possible to exchange for some Immortal Essence Stones in the alliance, but one Immortal Essence Stone required about a hundred top-grade spirit stones, and they were often available for a price but not for sale. As soon as an Immortal Essence Stone appeared, it would be exchanged immediately.

Seeing this situation, it was clear that the Island Lord, who controlled the entry and exit rights of Black Wind Island, was unwilling to let the people here leave.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your trouble." Han Li said, flipping his hand and taking out a top-grade spirit stone, giving it to Mu Xue.

"Thank you, Senior! If there is anything else, just tell me." Mu Xue was overjoyed and said gratefully.

Han Li smiled and sent Mu Xue away.

Then he began to pace back and forth in the cave with his hands behind his back, as if considering something. After a moment, he got up and left the cave, flying in a certain direction.

In the central area of Black Wind City, a series of black buildings were located.

These black buildings were completely different from the surrounding ones. Each brick and tile was constructed with quite exquisite stone materials. They occupied a large area and were arranged very cleverly. Inside, there were pavilions, terraces, gardens, and flowing water everywhere. It was like a huge mansion.

The entire mansion exuded a faint black aura, and from the outside, it seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black mist.

When passersby passed by, they would stay far away and leave in a hurry, not daring to approach.

This was the residence of the Black Wind Island Lord, Lu Jun, known as the "Island King's Mansion".

In front of the mansion was a large square. At the edge of the square stood a tall black palace. A plaque hung above the entrance of the palace, with the three characters "Fuxin Hall" written on it.

This place was quite lively, with people coming and going from time to time. Their cultivation bases were not low, at least in the Integration Realm, and occasionally one or two Mahayana cultivators could be seen.

A cyan escape light shot from afar and landed outside the hall, revealing Han Li's figure.

He looked up at the hall in front of him and walked in.

The hall was quite empty, with only a cyan stone wall more than ten feet high standing in the center, with rows of text on it.

Two black-robed men stood on either side of the stone wall. Judging from their clothing, they should be from the Island King's Mansion.

At this moment, a dozen cultivators were standing in various places in the hall, looking up at the stone wall. From time to time, some acquaintances would discuss the content of the tasks in low voices.

Han Li stopped near the stone wall and looked up.

There were quite a few tasks on it, as many as twenty or thirty. The descriptions of the tasks and the rewards were written quite clearly.

Han Li just glanced at them and directly began to look for tasks that rewarded the right to use the teleportation array, and soon found two.

One was to find a spiritual material called Cyan Rainbow Jade, and the other was a guarding task, requiring a True Immortal or higher cultivation base to guard an island for a hundred years.

Han Li frowned.

He had seen that Cyan Rainbow Jade in the classics of Wumeng Island. It was a legendary heaven and earth spiritual material containing the power of law. Where could he find it in a short time?

Even if someone could find this spiritual material, it was doubtful whether it would be worth directly exchanging it for a teleportation opportunity.

As for the guarding task, it required a hundred years, so there was no need for him to consider it.

"Huh?"

Han Li was a little depressed, but when his eyes swept over, his eyes suddenly lit up.

There was a rather special task at the top of the stone wall.

It was a search task, but it did not specify who was being searched for, but the reward for this task was extraordinary. As long as the task could be completed, one could make a reasonable request to the Island Lord!

Looking at the time this task was released, it was not long ago, and there was a note behind the task that a True Immortal Realm or higher cultivation base was required.

Han Li's eyes flickered.

This search task was mysterious, and although it seemed like it would not be easy, it was still more reliable than the other two tasks.

After a little thought, he walked to the stone wall.

"Senior, are you here to accept a task?" A black-robed man bowed to Han Li and said respectfully.

"I'll take this task. Is there any detailed information?" Han Li pointed to that task.

The surrounding people all looked over, their eyes varying.

"Yes, Senior, please follow me." The black-robed man's eyes lit up and he walked out of the hall. Han Li followed.

"True Immortal Realm cultivator!"

"Nonsense, of course, he must be a True Immortal if he dares to take on this task."

"But this person looks very unfamiliar. He should be from out of town."

Han Li and the black-robed man walked out of the hall one after the other, and the sound of discussion came from behind.

Although Black Wind Island had cultivators gathered from all over, True Immortals were rare existences in this area. The others had obviously not noticed before that the unremarkable young man in front of them was actually a True Immortal.

Han Li ignored the discussions of the people behind him and followed the black-robed man towards the Island King's Mansion.

The guards at the gate of the Island King's Mansion did not stop them, and the two entered the mansion smoothly. They passed through a series of winding corridors and arrived at a hall.

There were already more than ten people sitting in the hall, dressed in various clothes, both men and women.

Hearing footsteps, most of them looked over, glanced at them a few times, and then looked away, each doing their own thing.

These people had vast auras, and they were all True Immortals.

Han Li's expression remained unchanged, but he was a little surprised in his heart. He did not expect that there were so many True Immortals on Black Wind Island.

"Senior, please wait here. Someone will come to explain the task later." The black-robed man said.

Han Li nodded and found an inconspicuous place in the hall to sit down.

A blue-clothed servant walked over and served him a cup of misty spiritual tea, which exuded a refreshing fragrance.

Han Li picked up the teacup and took the opportunity to secretly observe the people in the hall.

These people were obviously like him, having accepted the task of searching for the Island Lord's beloved daughter. Their cultivation bases were similar, and most of them were alone, sitting separately, not communicating with each other. Some were even meditating with their eyes closed.

However, there were also those who were in groups.

In a conspicuous position in the hall, three people were sitting side by side.

A burly man, a young woman with a black veil, and a thin young man were chatting and laughing as if no one else was around.

"This fellow Daoist, my name is Guan Yong, greetings."

Han Li was observing the people present when a voice sounded. A slightly fat, round-faced young man approached with a smile.

"My name is Liu Shi, Fellow Daoist Guan is too polite." Han Li put down his teacup and nodded.

"So it's Brother Liu. You look unfamiliar, Fellow Daoist. Could it be that you just arrived at Black Wind Island?" Guan Yong obviously had a habit of being familiar with people and immediately began to call him brother.

"That's right, Liu Mou did arrive at Black Wind Island a few days ago. How did Brother Guan know?" Han Li raised his eyebrows slightly and said.

"I have a lively personality and love to visit friends and relatives. There are not many True Immortal cultivators in Black Wind City, and I basically know them all." Guan Yong said with a chuckle.

"I see. Brother Guan has many friends, Liu Mou admires you." Han Li nodded.

Guan Yong was a bit talkative and kept chattering on and on.

Han Li had nothing to do at the moment, so he chatted with him, asking a few questions and inquiring about the situation of the people present. He learned a lot.

As time passed, another half day passed in the blink of an eye, and two more True Immortals came to the hall.

At noon, a series of footsteps came from behind the hall, and a dignified middle-aged man in a black brocade robe and wearing a feather crown appeared.

As soon as this person appeared, the hall suddenly fell silent. Even the three-man group who had been ignoring everyone else became silent.

Han Li looked at the person in front of him, and his pupils shrank slightly.

The man in the brocade robe just stood there, and his whole person seemed like a tall mountain standing in front of him. An invisible aura rushed towards him, causing his heart to tremble.

"Island Lord!" Guan Yong was the first to stand up and bow to the middle-aged man in the brocade robe.

Han Li also bowed with the others, but carefully examined the person with the highest power and cultivation base in the Black Wind Sea Area.
