Chapter 126 Mount Tainan, Tainan Valley, Youngster
Guanggui City is located in the southernmost part of Lanzhou.
It is not a large city, with only a population of tens of thousands, which is only one-fifth of the largest city, Jiayuan City.
However, surrounded by mountains on three sides and a lake on one side, the environment is beautiful, making it a popular destination for leisure among wealthy families.
In addition, this place produces several rare fruits that cannot be found elsewhere, giving the small city some reputation.
Mount Tainan is located not far to the west of Guanggui City.
The entire mountain is over 3,000 meters high and is shrouded in mist all year round.
It is the fourth highest mountain in Lanzhou.
At the top of the mountain, there is a small temple called Tainan Temple.
Because the divination and fortune-telling in this temple are extremely accurate, every year, some dignitaries come here to burn incense, make wishes, and donate large amounts of money to the temple, ensuring that the temple's reputation remains prominent.
At this moment, in a grove at the foot of Mount Tainan, a person is sitting cross-legged under a dense giant tree, holding a shiny red object in his hands, which is constantly rolling against his lower abdomen.
Suddenly, this person trembled and groaned, and then the red light in his hand greatly diminished, revealing its true appearance, which turned out to be a piece of high-quality green jade.
This jade is not only pure and flawless, but also has a faint red light emanating from its depths, indicating its extraordinary value.
The man slowly put the green jade away from his abdomen, then raised his head to look at the sky, revealing the ordinary face of a young man, who was none other than Han Li, who had disappeared from Jiayuan City.
Han Li lowered his head and looked at the object in his hand, a hint of joy appearing on his face.
Since obtaining this Warm Sun Jade, he had been continuously removing the cold poison from his body.
It was not until today, after half a month, that he had completely eradicated it.
It was truly not easy. Moreover, the tingling sensation during the detoxification process was bone-chilling, making Han Li suffer a lot.
Now that he looked back on it, he still felt lingering fear.
However, this Warm Sun Jade was indeed an extraordinary treasure. It could absorb his spiritual energy and greatly enhance the efficacy of detoxification, making it much easier. Without this discovery, he might have needed another ten days to completely remove the poison from his body.
Thinking of this, Han Li put the jade into a wooden box beside him and carefully concealed it.
Then, Han Li stood up, stretched his stiff limbs, and recalled his experiences over the past two months.
After arranging everything on that day, Han Li went to the Mo Family the next day and obtained information about the Dabao Mountain Villa and Ouyang Feitian from Yan Shi.
Then, riding a horse provided by the Mo Family, he traveled day and night, finally arriving at the Dabao Mountain Villa within ten days.
After several days of reconnaissance and infiltration, Han Li seized the opportunity when Ouyang Feitian was alone admiring the moon, caught him off guard, and used all his magic treasures to decapitate him, ending his life.
The whole process went surprisingly smoothly and easily, without any waves.
It almost made Han Li wonder if the person he killed was a fake.
Later, after examining several unique scars and birthmarks on the body, Yan Shi confirmed that there was no mistake.
Han Li then sighed and took his head back to Jiayuan City.
Back at the Mo Family, after handing over Ouyang Feitian's head to Yan Shi for inspection, Han Li learned from him that Ouyang Feitian had cultivated the top-notch body-refining technique "Tyrant's Armor" in the martial world.
He had already trained his whole body to be impenetrable, even sharp weapons like iron-cutting blades could hardly harm him.
However, he never expected to be killed so easily by Han Li.
Only one thing remained simple: after confirming the head, Yan Shi immediately took out the Warm Sun Jade and exchanged it with Han Li for the antidote.
After obtaining the jade, Han Li refused Yan Shi's earnest retention and had no intention of socializing with the Mo Family and others, so he immediately left Jiayuan City again and rushed to Mount Tainan.
On the way, while detoxifying himself, Han Li was thinking about how to get to know and befriend the cultivators of Tainan Valley.
Because he didn't know if the other party was righteous or evil, Han Li didn't plan to rashly approach them. If all the cultivators inside were evil cultivators, and he went there on his own initiative, he would only be seen as a lamb to be slaughtered.
Therefore, when Han Li first arrived at Mount Tainan, he began to inquire about some rumors and strange anecdotes about Tainan Mountain from people in several nearby villages, and he really learned some insights.
According to the villagers, to the north of Mount Tainan, there is a very mysterious hill. This hill is shrouded in thick fog all year round, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of them.
While it's normal for Mount Tainan to have some mountain fog, a place like this, with dense fog all year round, is quite incredible.
Therefore, some brave villagers have ventured into it several times. But strangely, every time someone went in, they would unconsciously lose their way, but not long after, they would unconsciously walk out of the mist and return to the starting point, which was astonishing.
Because the hill was so strange and nothing major happened after entering it, more villagers were eager to explore it, hoping to unravel the mystery.
But it seems that the villagers' actions angered the fog on the hill.
From that day on, anyone who entered the strange hill was no longer able to immediately walk out of the mist. Instead, they would be trapped for two or three days, and they would be so weak from hunger that they could barely walk out of the mist.
As a result, fewer and fewer people dared to enter the strange hill. In the end, the villagers became accustomed to it and turned a blind eye to it.
Han Li was delighted when he learned about these things.
Knowing about this strange hill, it was most likely the place he was looking for, Tainan Valley. Moreover, even if it was not Tainan Valley, it must be the residence of other cultivators.
What made Han Li even happier was that, from the descriptions of those villagers, it seemed that the owner of this place was not particularly extreme or malicious in temperament, so he should not be the kind of cultivator who would kill on sight. This left plenty of room for interaction.
Even so, Han Li still didn't plan to visit right away. Instead, he stayed in the grove to completely eliminate the hidden dangers on his body. Then, he planned to visit the strange hill in the best condition possible. If anything went wrong, he would have a better chance of escaping.
Thinking of this, Han Li decided to go to the house of the villagers where he was staying, eat some food, rest for the night, and then formally visit the strange hill tomorrow.
So Han Li walked out of the grove and headed towards the nearby small village.
As soon as he entered the borrowed small village, Han Li saw a teenager of fifteen or sixteen standing at the village entrance, gesturing and chatting with several villagers.
Han Li was slightly surprised. At this time, anyone who appeared here was likely not an ordinary person, so he naturally used his Heavenly Eyes technique to take a glance at the other party.
After a glance, Han Li was ecstatic. Sure enough, this teenager in white clothes was enveloped in a faint spiritual light, slightly inferior to him in brightness. This teenager was indeed a cultivator.
It seemed that the teenager in the distance sensed someone looking at him, he turned his body and looked at Han Li. As soon as he saw Han Li, his face immediately showed joy, and he hurriedly ran over like a streak of smoke.
"Is this brother also going to Tainan Valley? I, Wan Jia, from Kuya Mountain, have seen brother before! Shall we go together?" The teenager ran out of breath, and before he could catch his breath, he eagerly said to Han Li.
Han Li, seeing the teenager's appearance clearly, saw that he had clear eyebrows and bright eyes, with fair and delicate skin, resembling the appearance of a noble family's young master.
"Of course, but do you know where Tainan Valley is?" Han Li replied calmly after hearing the other party's request.
"Hehe! I only heard my family say that Tainan Valley is to the north of Mount Tainan, and the entrance is shrouded in fog all year round.
I don't know exactly where it is. I asked those villagers, 'Where is Tainan Valley?
' They didn't know either! But brother must know, right?
" The teenager scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and then looked at Han Li expectantly.
"Is this your first time traveling far from home?" Han Li resisted the urge to smile and asked with a smile.
"Big brother can tell? Indeed, this is my first time leaving home so far." The teenager nodded a little shyly.
"Well, come with me! I'll take you there." Han Li wasn't very sure at first if the strange hill was the Tainan Valley he was looking for, but now, after hearing what the teenager said, he was completely confident.
"That's great! I can finally see it for myself!" The teenager cheered excitedly when he heard Han Li's words.
Han Li gave the teenager a faint smile. He could also extract some information from the teenager's mouth and learn more about these cultivators.
"What do you want to see or experience in Tainan Valley?" Han Li led the teenager towards the location of the strange hill at a slow pace. He had already secretly surveyed the place several times and remembered it very clearly.
"There's so much I want to see. I want to see the spells and secret techniques of other families and sects, and I also want to exchange some things I like with others." The teenager casually said.
"Oh!" Han Li replied softly. But in his heart, he was a little puzzled. Why did it sound like there were many cultivators gathering in Tainan Valley, could something big be happening? Han Li began to feel a little uneasy.
