Han Li took the opportunity to crouch beside “Junior Sister Chen,” lowering his head to examine her alluring face flushed with desire. His gaze then drifted downward, inevitably lingering on her naked, curvaceous body.
The full, rounded breasts, the playfully protruding navel, and even the mysterious area further down—all of it left Han Li’s mouth dry and his head spinning.
He knew perfectly well that if he wished, the beauty before him could instantly offer him soul-stirring pleasures, making him a true man. Yet after staring entranced for a long while, Han Li reluctantly shifted his gaze away and back to her face.
He frowned, suddenly extending an index finger to lightly brush her slightly parted apricot lips. Feeling the moisture and smoothness, he quickly withdrew his finger and brought it to his nose for a faint sniff.
“It really is the Union Joy Pill. It seems that man wasn’t lying!” After a moment, Han Li lowered his hand and muttered to himself, appearing to have fully regained his composure.
“Great beauty, it seems your luck is quite good. If you had taken any other aphrodisiac, I might have had to resort to harsh measures! But since it’s the Union Joy Pill, there’s no need. I imagine you were already lost in hallucinations before I appeared and won’t remember my face at all.” Han Li gently lifted her chin with one hand, gazing into her intoxicated eyes as he spoke softly.
“Actually, the safest method would be to make you disappear from this world. Even hallucinations can leave faint, elusive impressions, no matter how slim the chance. But you should consider yourself lucky! Although I’m not a good person, I’m not cruel or bloodthirsty either. I’m especially soft-hearted toward women. If you were a man, I would have already cut you down without hesitation.” Han Li continued his soliloquy, a bitter, helpless smile appearing on his face.
After saying this, Han Li fell silent for a moment, staring intently at the woman’s delicate face. Suddenly, he lowered his head and fiercely kissed her enticing apricot lips, clumsily sucking on them. The woman responded with fiery passion. After a long while of ecstasy, Han Li reluctantly pulled away from her fragrant lips.
“The affairs between men and women are truly wondrous! Even if I can’t truly indulge, this kiss shall serve as repayment for saving your life!” Han Li murmured, wearing an expression of someone absolutely unwilling to suffer a loss.
As for the Foundation Establishment Pill meant for this woman, since it had been seized from “Senior Brother Lu,” Han Li naturally saw no reason to bring it up again.
“Ahem! Your current appearance is truly captivating. If I hadn’t heard Old Man Ma say that men and women who preserve their primal yang or yin have a higher chance of successfully establishing their foundation, why would I refuse such a good thing and force myself to play the role of the virtuous gentleman?” Han Li’s expression was calm at first, but as he spoke, he gently shook his head, revealing deep regret.
After all, whether a night of pleasure or the path of immortal cultivation was more important—even consumed by desire, Han Li could distinguish clearly between the two.
As for why “Senior Brother Lu” had no qualms about attempting to assault this woman, Han Li didn’t need to think hard to guess. Given his flirtatious, pretty-boy appearance, his primal yang had likely long been broken, hence his lack of restraint. Moreover, this was probably also why he lacked confidence in establishing his foundation, delaying until now without daring to take the Foundation Establishment Pill. In the end, it was Han Li who benefited.
Having made up his mind, Han Li decided not to waste any more time.
First, he used a Fireball Technique to blast a large pit not far away, threw “Senior Brother Lu’s” corpse into it, and then incinerated the body into white ash with another fire spell. He filled the pit with soil, effectively disposing of the evidence.
Next, at the scene of the struggle, Han Li used a long knife from his storage pouch to thoroughly scrape away any obvious traces, ensuring no clues remained. Then, after draping one of her own garments over “Junior Sister Chen,” he carried her and swiftly flew away from the area.
He flew westward for over a hundred li before finding a well-concealed giant rock to land under.
After placing the woman beneath the giant rock, Han Li initially intended to fly away immediately. However, glancing back at her flushed face, he sighed softly with a softened heart, turned around, and approached “Junior Sister Chen” once more.
He retrieved a white porcelain bottle from his robe, poured some white medicinal powder into his palm, and then dipped a finger from his other hand into the powder. Gently, he applied it to her apricot lips, muttering with a hint of helplessness, “The aphrodisiac toxin of the Union Joy Pill may not be fatal, but if left untreated for too long, it will severely deplete one’s vitality. Since I’m already doing a good deed, I might as well help you detoxify it. This Clear Spirit Powder can neutralize this poison!”
As he spoke, Han Li watched the woman unconsciously lick and swallow the powder. The seductive way she sucked on his finger made him lose focus once again.
Not daring to stay any longer, Han Li hurriedly put away the medicine bottle, mounted his magical instrument, and flew away in haste. He knew that the woman would awaken soon, and if he didn’t leave quickly, he would invite serious trouble.
This time, he flew through the night for most of the evening. Only when he was within a few hours’ journey from Yellow Maple Valley did he rest briefly. As dawn broke, he boldly entered the valley and returned to the Hundred Herbs Garden.
Upon entering the garden, Han Li immediately went into seclusion. After three days and three nights, he had finally expelled the vast majority of the foreign object in his dantian. The remaining trace would no longer hinder him and would slowly be refined by his true energy in the days to come.
Even so, the aftermath of the great battle had severely depleted his vitality. He estimated it would take at least a month of rest to return to his peak condition. Yet, Han Li felt it was all worth it.
Because now, he sat before a table, admiring the greatest spoils of his outing—two blue Foundation Establishment Pills, each the size of a broad bean. After examining them for a full hour, he transferred the pills into a different container, placing them inside the auxiliary magical instrument—the copper vial. This would prevent their spiritual energy from dissipating further.
As for the original green vial and wooden box, they naturally had to be destroyed to avoid leaving any evidence that might incriminate him later.
Reflecting on it, his losses from the battle several days ago were considerable. Not only was the flying sword talisman treasure ruined, but even the top-grade magical instrument, the refined steel rings, had been shattered to pieces. Han Li felt a twinge of regret over this.
However, his gains were equally substantial. Apart from the Green Flood Dragon Banner, Han Li had found two other excellent magical instruments in Senior Brother Lu’s storage pouch: one was the green rope that had previously ambushed him, and the other was a silver hook. Both appeared to be top-grade magical instruments, enough to compensate for his losses.
Moreover, he had also acquired several dozen low- to mid-tier talismans of various attributes and over twenty low-tier spirit stones.
Unfortunately, there were no primary high-tier talismans. The only high-tier one, the Wind Wall Technique talisman, had exhausted its spiritual energy during the battle with Han Li and had long become worthless.
Han Li took this opportunity to sort through all his spoils. Unless they were useful to him or extremely valuable, he destroyed everything else to eliminate any future risks.
Then, he eagerly turned his thoughts to the matter of the Foundation Establishment Pills.
Truth be told, Han Li knew absolutely nothing about how to consume the Foundation Establishment Pills.
Was it as simple as swallowing them directly? Or did they require other aids, like medicinal guides? Perhaps even external assistance? Logically, such a rare pill likely had specific requirements.
Since he had never possessed a Foundation Establishment Pill before, Han Li hadn’t paid much attention to this matter. He had originally planned to inquire after the Blood Trial, reasoning that if he failed the trial, everything else would be pointless. But now, he had obtained the pills—two of them, no less!
This made the matter urgent.
Half a day later, Han Li returned from the Transmission Hall.
Back in his residence, he slumped over the table in a daze. After several hours, he suddenly slammed a fist onto the corner of the table, his knuckles turning red, yet he seemed oblivious to the pain, as if he had lost all sensation.
Not long before, under the pretext of learning new spells, Han Li had spent the better part of the day subtly probing Wu Feng for information. Finally, he had extracted the method of consuming the Foundation Establishment Pill, but the results were far from good news for him.
It turned out that breaking through to Foundation Establishment by taking the pill required neither medicinal guides nor external assistance—it could be taken directly by swallowing.
In theory, this should have been ideal for Han Li. However, Wu Feng’s subsequent words struck him like a blow to the head. The new issues that arose after taking the pill presented him with significant dilemmas, once again placing him in a difficult position.
