Immortal Martial Arts: Marry a Wife and Live a Long Life

Chapter 24: The Fisherman Fishing

The first segment of the gathering for scattered cultivators has come to an end.

The leader, Li Deshun, said a few words, and the second segment began.

The purpose of this segment was originally for exchanging cultivation experiences, sharing intelligence, and so on. However, very few cultivators were doing so at the moment.

Most people's attention was focused on Han Li, wanting to see if this "polygamous ancestor" was as honest and simple-minded as he appeared, or if he would run away early.

At least seven or eight scattered cultivators at the Sea Opening Realm were considering ambushing Han Li and taking away all his chances and treasures.

These people exchanged glances and instantly understood each other's intentions. They planned to ambush Han Li first, and then decide whether to divide the treasures equally or rely on their own abilities.

As scattered cultivators, almost all of them who could cultivate the Sea Opening Realm were astute individuals who wouldn't kill each other without results.

The other scattered cultivators who had no intention of participating wore expressions of watching a show. They wouldn't join in ambushing Han Li, but they also wouldn't offer him any help unless he asked them to.

Asking them for help would naturally come at a great cost.

In a corner of the gathering, a low-profile cultivator in a green robe silently watched this scene with a mocking look in his eyes.

His aura fluctuated at only the first level of the Sea Opening Realm, lower than Han Li's, and he didn't have much fame either. He had never made a move during transactions, so few people paid attention to him. Even if their gaze occasionally swept over him, they quickly looked away.

"A bunch of fools!"

"Do you really deserve to obtain Han Li's great opportunity? Haha."

The cultivator in the green robe sneered in his heart. This time, he had come to the right place and almost missed this opportunity.

He came from Qingzhou and belonged to a major sect there. After causing a big commotion in Qingzhou, he fled all the way to Leizhou.

Leizhou was not his destination; he planned to pass through Leizhou and leave the jurisdiction of the Great Qian Dynasty, heading to the Yin Yang Path to evade pursuit and then cultivate slowly. With that treasure, he would definitely rise to prominence.

When he passed by Fengyang Prefecture, he accidentally heard news of the scattered cultivator gathering. Originally, he didn't plan to come, but after learning the location of the gathering, he changed his mind because it was conveniently on his way, and there was no harm in taking a look.

If he hadn't come to participate in the scattered cultivator gathering, how could he have seen Han Li, this "treasure-delivering boy," and missed this opportunity for nothing?

As for those scattered cultivators, he didn't care about them at all. He would deal with them all at once later and gain more cultivation resources, paving the way for his rise.

However, to be cautious, Lu Renbin decided to play the mantis catching the cicada and the yellow sparrow behind.

If those scattered cultivators who planned to ambush Han Li fought each other, he would save his energy. If they intended to divide the spoils, then he would have to strike first and kill two or three of them with a surprise attack before dealing with the rest of the scattered cultivators.

As a peak Sea Opening Realm cultivator from a major sect, Lu Renbin believed he had the strength to do so.

Neither the cultivator in the green robe nor the seven or eight scattered cultivators paid any attention to Han Li. They regarded him as a lamb on the chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.

If Han Li were to run away early, it would be even better. They would directly ambush him and wouldn't bother waiting any longer.

Since Han Li didn't run away, they would let this honest treasure-delivering boy live a little longer in front of everyone's eyes.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Han Li seemed completely unaware. Not only did he show no intention of running away, but he also seemed enthusiastic.

He first went to a few scattered cultivators to gather information, wanting to learn more. Everyone who interacted with him looked at him with astonishment.

Could it be that Han Li, after fortuitously breaking through to the Sea Opening Realm, had taken too many concubines and lost his mind? At this moment, asking for irrelevant information, shouldn't he be preparing to run away?

After asking around, Han Li realized that the scattered cultivators were unwilling to talk to him. They believed he was doomed.

Realizing this, Han Li sighed inwardly. Perhaps he had overdone his act, and now he was afraid he wouldn't be able to exchange any useful information.

With this in mind, Han Li gave up on the idea of exchanging information and planned to do two more things before leaving. The fish had been biting for a long time; he just needed to reel in the net.

In another corner of the gathering, the rascal didn't know when he had retreated here and was secretly observing, preparing to run away early.

At this moment, a figure appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

"Where do you want to go?"

Han Li looked down at the hunchbacked ruffian from a higher position.

Ruffian: "???"

At this moment, the ruffian was a bit confused, with a big question mark floating above his head.

Looking at Han Li blocking the way, the ruffian's face under the cloak became serious, with a furrowed brow.

What does this person want?

Noticing that the gazes of those scattered cultivators were brought over by Han Li, the ruffian secretly lamented and had to say, "Friend Han, may I ask what business you have with this old man?"

He just wanted to quickly get rid of Han Li and continue being an insignificant person, looking for an opportunity to escape.

This mentally impaired concubine-seeking old ancestor is too absent-minded. What's the use of asking this and that? If he doesn't run now, he won't have any chance. Even if he obtains valuable information, it will be of no use.

He really doesn't want to accompany Han Li to his death.

The Sea Opening Pill is extremely precious, but with Han Li attracting everyone's attention, they have all focused on him, neglecting the ruffian.

The ruffian has already noticed a malicious gaze from a scattered cultivator, apparently targeting him. It's likely that they want to kill him and seize the treasure.

He is only at the ninth level of the Innate stage, even though he has some hidden means, it's still difficult to escape from the pursuit of a senior Sea Opening Realm cultivator.

"Friend, have you forgotten what you promised me earlier? The Sea Opening Pill is not so easy to obtain," Han Li saw the ruffian's anxiety and intended to tease him, deliberately raising his voice.

The ruffian fell silent, blinked at Han Li, and muttered in his heart, "Help you with something? But do you still have a chance?"

Han Li didn't care what he was thinking and simply said, "After the gathering of scattered cultivators, you must come to Lingjun City within a month."

"Alright," the ruffian immediately agreed, wanting this unlucky star to quickly go somewhere else.

As Han Li turned and walked towards Li Deshun, the ruffian breathed a sigh of relief. But then he heard Han Li's voice in his mind, "Kid, I've already marked you. If you don't come to Lingjun City on time, you won't be able to escape even to the ends of the earth."

The ruffian's pupils contracted, watching Han Li's departing figure, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes. He secretly regretted how he had caught the attention of such a shameless old man.

The Sea Opening Realm cannot transmit sound. Only after cultivating to the Vital Spirit Realm, when the divine soul is nourished and strengthened by the physical body, can one transmit sound, although the range is not large.

The fact that Han Li can transmit sound indicates that he is a cultivator of the Vital Spirit Realm, not the Sea Opening Realm second stage that the outside world thinks he is, the "concubine-seeking old ancestor" who only knows about taking concubines.

He has hidden himself too deeply!

Being targeted by such an old man has put him in a bad mood, especially since this old man also likes taking concubines, which makes him even more unhappy.

He hesitated whether to go to Lingjun City or simply run away. After all, this Han ancestor might not be able to find him, right?

After thinking about it, he decided to leave and find a place to check. If he finds the mark, he will remove it and run away.

Looking at the several Sea Opening Realm scattered cultivators who planned to intercept Han Li, a look of pity appeared in the ruffian's eyes.

Intercepting a cultivator of the Vital Spirit Realm, that's just rushing to your death!

"But, this Han Li is really cunning!" the ruffian silently complained.

As a cultivator of the Vital Spirit Realm, you hide your cultivation level and come to participate in the gathering of Sea Opening Realm scattered cultivators, pretending to be an honest person fishing everywhere. You're really a crafty person.

At the same time, he secretly warned himself to be extremely careful in his future actions and never run into a fisherman like Han Li.

Is there any big shot willing to give this book some monthly votes? If you don't have any monthly votes, recommending it is also fine. If all else fails, how about an investment?
