Chapter 17 Meeting Han Li Again
Han Li turned around and saw Zhang Tie coming over. His expression suddenly became awkward. Just as he was about to say hello, he was interrupted by Zhang Tie.

"Xiao Han, what a coincidence, you are here to sell things too?" Zhang Tie patted Han Li's shoulder and said with a smile.

Seeing Zhang Tie's smiling eyes, Han Li seemed to have returned to the time when he was in the Qixuan Sect. Brother Zhang was still the same Brother Zhang.

Thinking of this, all the embarrassment on Han Li's face disappeared, and he smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, I'm going to participate in the Blood Trial, and I can't use these. I was thinking of selling them to exchange some spirit stones for some more useful ones."

"I see," Zhang Tie nodded. "That's great. I have some things to sell, too. Boss, take a look."

Then Zhang Tie took out a bunch of talismans from his storage bag. These were the low-level talismans he had practiced before and were no longer of any use to him.

The shopkeeper saw how familiar the two men were with each other, and also saw that Zhang Tie was dressed in the Yanyue Sect's attire and had the cultivation level of the initial stage of foundation building, so he nodded and bowed and started to calculate the bill.

There are a total of 1994 spirit stones. Please keep them.

Zhang Tie and Han Li took the spirit stones and left.

"Han Li, weren't you digging spirit stones? Why did you come here?" Zhang Tie brought Han Li to an inn, ordered a dozen dishes, and said while gnawing on a chicken leg.

Han Li had no particular interest in ordinary food. He just sipped the tea in front of him and said, "Because of the Blood Trial. Brother Zhang, do you know that after this Blood Trial, it will take sixty years for it to start again?"

Zhang Tie suddenly realized what was going on when he heard this. “No wonder Han Li was so cautious even though he had so many magical instruments and talismans. It turns out that the time has come.”

Recalling the contents of the original book, Zhang Tie felt that there was nothing to worry about, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll give you a few more talismans, these are what I just learned!"

Zhang Tie's figure disappeared in an instant, and soon appeared in front of Han Li again, holding a candied haws in his hand.

"How about it, it's awesome!"

Han Li's eyes suddenly became round. How come Zhang Tie has become so powerful again?

Seeing Han Li's inexperienced look, Zhang Tie felt relieved. He ate half a string of candied haws in one gulp and said incoherently, "Haha, this is the invisible escape talisman I asked someone to refine. Now there's nothing to worry about!"

Han Li hurriedly accepted the talismans and stared at them closely, as if he was appreciating something he loved. He gently stroked the invisible escape talisman in his hand, which made Zhang Tie feel a chill.

“Alright, alright, stop being such a bumpkin.” Zhang Tie scolded with a smile, “After you come out of the bloody trial this time, you must practice hard and build your foundation quickly. Don’t wait until I have formed my elixir before you start practicing qi!”

"By the way, I have a body that looks like a fifth-level monster. Are you interested?" Zhang Tie suddenly thought of the black insect corpse. He really had no interest in this kind of insect, so he planned to just throw it to Han Li.

"Jie, a demon beast in the Jindan stage!" Han Li's eyes widened again and he said with some stammering.

"Hey, that's nothing. Don't be too surprised! After all, I, your brother Zhang, am going to become an immortal. Forming a pill is no problem at all!" Zhang Tie said nonchalantly, completely forgetting the heartache he felt when he used the invisible needle.

Han Li also realized at this time that Zhang Tie must have used the invisible needle to kill the Jindan monster. So he nodded helplessly. This Zhang brother is good at everything except bragging.

However, Han Li did not expose him. He just pretended to admire him and said a few times, "Great!" Then he was about to buy some spiritual herbs, but was interrupted by Zhang Tie, "I don't need the spiritual herbs for the time being. I, your brother Zhang, am gifted. These spiritual herbs have no effect for the time being. You can keep them for yourself." Zhang Tie had already figured it out. Instead of giving these spiritual herbs to himself, it would be better to let Han Li break through as soon as possible to simplify the process.

"This," Han Li opened his mouth, and seemed to think of his own cultivation level, so he nodded with a look of frustration.

Zhang Tie looked at Han Li and knew what he was thinking, but he didn't have any good solution. He just encouraged Han Li a few words and went to the market to buy materials for refining talismans.

After some shopping, Zhang Tie had spent most of the spirit stones he had, and only had a few dozen left.

Just as Zhang Tie was leaving the shop, he suddenly found a very beautiful transparent crystal on the counter filled with magic tools, and there was a plush rabbit jumping inside it.

Zhang Tie suddenly remembered Han Yunzhi's cute round face and asked the old man in the shop, "What is that transparent crystal?"

"Senior, are you talking about this?" The shop owner pointed at the crystal, which was exactly what Zhang Tie was thinking of.

Seeing Zhang Tie nodded, the shopkeeper introduced, "This is called a shadow ball, and it comes in a pair. Its function is similar to the sound transmission talisman, but the workmanship is particularly exquisite. It came from Yuanwu Country, and it is said that the owner is a master of formations..."

"I want it!" Zhang Tie interrupted the old man's introduction and directly bought the photo ball with the remaining spirit stones. Zhang Tie casually inputted spiritual power, and the rabbit in the crystal began to move, imitating Zhang Tie's movements. Although it looked like a rabbit, it looked surprisingly similar to Zhang Tie.

He could even imitate the things Zhang Tie took out. "That's interesting!" Zhang Tie exclaimed.

……

Not far from Zhang Tie's shop, a girl in a green skirt and light gauze danced gracefully, which set off her beautiful figure. Her big eyes on her round oval face flashed with joy.

This was Han Yunzhi who heard Zhang Tie's voice transmission. At this time, she had reached the ninth level of Qi training and was imagining how to talk to Zhang Tie after meeting him.

"Junior Sister Han, how are you these days?" Suddenly a familiar voice came over.

Han Yunzhi turned around and saw Zhang Tie, who was looking at her from a distance with a smile on his face. He was holding two extremely delicate transparent crystals in his hands, and a vivid rabbit could be seen in the crystals.

Han Yunzhi's face suddenly turned red. "Senior Brother Zhang, you, you are here. I have been doing fine recently." She replied stutteringly.

Zhang Tie looked at Han Yunzhi's stuttering and suddenly found her cute. He then took out one of the photo balls and gave it to Han Yunzhi.

"Is this a photo ball?" Han Yunzhi hurriedly took the small ball and recognized it at once.

"You know?" Seeing Han Yunzhi's happy face, Zhang Tie couldn't help but grinning.

"Well, this was recently circulated from Yuanwu Country. It is said to have been made by a formation master named Xin. It is quite popular among the female cultivators here!" Han Yunzhi couldn't help feeling happy when she thought of the photo-taking ball Zhang Tie gave him.

"Xin? Master of formations?" Zhang Tie was stunned. Could it be Xin Ruyin? Thinking of this, Zhang Tie suddenly remembered old man Qiong, who had a short life span. The joy in his heart faded a lot.
