Chapter 23: Resolving the Knot

This courtyard on Xiaolingxu Peak is much larger than the one in Mengshan City.

Especially the backyard, which is several hundred square meters and has some fruit trees and tea trees planted.

There are also several quiet rooms in the courtyard, but on weekdays, Han Yi only practices in the quiet room with the scroll of the sword fairy hanging on it, and rarely goes to other places.

Han Yi first inspected the courtyard inside and out, mainly to confirm its safety.

After all, he had been away for a year, and because this courtyard had no owner, the courtyard formation protection was not turned on, so anyone could sneak in.

As for those people from the Law Enforcement Hall who checked whether the idle courtyard was occupied, they really had no time to do such things.

Of course, if there were really disciples who were unwilling to go down the mountain and thought that no one would find them, they would secretly lurk in the idle courtyard, that would be another matter. If they were reported or discovered, they would be directly expelled from the sect, their cultivation would be abolished, and they would be expelled from the mountain.

This is the sect's rule. You can only take what is given to you. If it is not yours, it will be left there idle. If you take it by force, you will have your hands chopped off.

Han Yi has always been a rule-abiding person.

After checking the safety of the courtyard, he did not start to retreat to work or practice as he did in Mengshan City.

Instead, he rarely left the courtyard.

The courtyard of Xuandan Sect is not like in Mengshan City, where you need a formation plate to control the courtyard.

There is a center in the courtyard here. If you input mana into the center, you will become the owner of the courtyard. The owner of the courtyard can control the courtyard formation as long as he is in the courtyard.

Of course, this kind of control is the most basic functions of protection opening, half opening, and protection closing.

But the formation is connected to the spiritual vein of Xiaolingxu Peak, and the starting point is much higher. Even the basic function can resist the attacks of cultivators below the foundation-building stage.

After leaving the courtyard, Han Yi went straight to Zheng Hai's courtyard.

Zheng Hai does not live in Xiaolingxu Peak, but in the Xiaopanshi Peak separated from it.

On the Xiaopanshi Peak, Han Yi knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened the door. He knew that Zheng Hai was either in a critical moment of cultivation or alchemy and could not leave, or there was no one in the courtyard and Zheng Hai was out for something.

"Forget it, I will come to share the good news of my return in two days, and then ask Zheng Hai to go to Zuixianlou to congratulate."

Han Yi felt a little regretful that he could not go to Zuixianlou today.

Zuixianlou is a restaurant in the outer peak, which is well-known.

The wine and drinks in it are all made from precious elixirs, containing rich spiritual energy and extremely expensive. Since Han Yi joined the sect, he has only heard and seen it, but he dared not step into it.

This time, he returned to the sect, his heart was excited, and he had money in his pocket, so it was worth bringing his friends to congratulate.

"By the way, there is also Senior Brother Guan Di."

When Han Yi thought of Guan Di, he remembered that he felt guilty towards Guan Sheng in Mengshan City, and he couldn't help but hesitate.

After a moment, he decided to go find Guan Di and make things clear.

This was his knot, and he had to resolve it.

Guan Di was originally at Xiao Panshi Peak, but after he was promoted to the fifth level of Qi training, he moved to Xiao Longxu Peak, which ranked in the top three of the outer peaks.

After he was promoted to the sixth level, he got the opportunity to go to the Zhuque Peak class. This position is very lucrative, and it can gain more connections and earn more favors. Many disciples at the sixth level of the outer peaks use their connections to get in.

Han Yi went down Xiao Panshi Peak and went straight to Xiao Longxu Peak.

This time he did not run in vain. Guan Di was indeed in the courtyard and did not go out.

"Brother Guan Di, I passed the return to the sect assessment."

Han Yi did not waste words and shared his joy, his face was full of joy.

No matter what, it was Guan Di who helped him find a way and arranged for him to be sent to Mengshan City. Although Jiang De's incident happened in Mengshan City, he did not doubt Guan Di at all.

Guan Di was stunned when he heard this, and then he quickly smiled.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Han."

After congratulating him, Guan Di took out a letter: "By the way, Junior Brother Han, I was going to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come. A few days ago, my uncle wrote to me, saying that you left without saying goodbye. I wonder if there is any misunderstanding?"

Hearing this, Han Yi felt a little ashamed.

After experiencing Jiang De's incident, he suspected that Guan Sheng had some intentions towards him, but there was no basis for it, and on the surface, Guan Sheng had done him a great favor.

Now that Guan Sheng wrote to him, saying that he had breached the contract, he couldn't refute it.

"Brother Guan, this is what happened."

"Brother Guan Sheng asked me to do something, and I happened to be in the critical period of alchemy, so I hindered Brother Guan Sheng's work."

"After I came out of retreat, I was too embarrassed to face Brother Guan Sheng directly, so I had to leave without saying goodbye."

"By the way, this is the elixir that needs to be returned to Uncle Guan Sheng according to the agreement. In addition, this is my apology."

"I only have so many, please help pass it to Brother Guan Sheng."

Han Yi took out three bottles of the previously refined evil-repelling pills, which were calculated based on his 15% success rate in refining the evil-repelling pills.

Moreover, he did not divide it into 80% and 20%, and gave it all to Guan Sheng.

Then, he took out three bottles of Qi-nourishing Pills. Of course, these were also Qi-nourishing Pills of ordinary quality.

He did not dare to take out the standard quality pills now, for fear of being targeted.

Guan Di frowned, picked up the evil-repelling pills and the Qi-nourishing Pills, observed them once, and then his brows relaxed.

"You are a good kid. I can't guarantee the quality of these bottles of pills."

"Your alchemy skills have improved so much. No wonder you can pass the return to the clan assessment so quickly."

"Besides, you have already reached the third level of Qi training. No, judging from your aura, you should be not far from the fourth level."

"I didn't expect that after a year of being sent abroad, your alchemy and cultivation have improved so much. It's not an exaggeration to say that you have been reborn."

"Okay, I'll pass the pills on. We are all family members, so there is no conflict. Even if there are some conflicts, there is no need to worry too much. I will tell my uncle."

Han Yi was relieved when he saw Guan Di accept the pills.

This matter is more than half settled. For the rest, I will make some compensation when I become stronger in the future.

At the end, Guan Di stopped Han Yi who was about to leave.

"There is one more thing, Junior Brother Han, do you want to move to Xiaolongxu Peak? With your reborn alchemy skills, you can definitely occupy a better courtyard if you move here. Moreover, the masters of the peaks will also take care of you."

Han Yi declined politely. Although Guan Di felt sorry, he couldn't force it, so he had to give up.

After returning to Xiaolingxu Peak and opening the courtyard array, Han Yi began to practice.

His goal this time was very clear.

Qi training level 4.

He was only one step away from this realm.

In addition, entrusting the elixir to Guan Di was also a matter of Mengshan City, which relieved his worries and made him more mentally perfect.

In addition, the practice room on Xiaolingxu Peak was rented for ten days before. Although the mana in his body was not deliberately advanced, it had reached 94/100.

As the saying goes, everything is ready, only the finishing touch is left.

In the courtyard, in the quiet room.

Han Yi took out all the remaining spirit stones, nourishing qi pills, and evil-repelling pills.

He first took four evil-repelling pills, thought about it, felt that it was not safe enough, and took two more.

Then, he stimulated the spiritual power of the spirit stones placed around.

Suddenly, the spiritual energy in the entire closed quiet room rolled, and its richness approached the level of the third-level spiritual vein in a short time.

Such a waste is unimaginable for other outer disciples.

But for Han Yi, all the spirit stones are used for breakthrough. If not now, when will it be used? It is worth wasting a little.

Boom!

The rolling spirit energy rushed into the body, compressed, condensed, and merged into the body's mana.

Moving towards transformation, constantly advancing.

What Han Yi, who was in retreat at Xiaolingxu Peak to break through, didn't know was that a few days later, thousands of miles away, in Mengshan City, Guan Sheng received Guan Di's letter and items.

After reading the letter, he looked at the pills on the table.

Guan Sheng was silent for a long time.
