A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality (Chapter 1201-Chapter 1400)

When Han Li saw this, he was alarmed and he came to a sudden stop. He examined the unfamiliar woman with narrow eyes.

The woman’s flesh was exactly the same as a common wood spirit, a shallow green. Also, she wore an orange-yellow belt, revealing herself to be a tree spirit at Spatial Tempering stage. But under closer examination, Han Li discovered the woman appeared much different compared to an ordinary wood spirit.

When the tree spirit faced the white-robed woman, she wore a dignified and respectful expression different from the wooden expressions of other wood spirits. Furthermore, Han Li was able to sense a vastly powerful fire spiritual power from the woman’s body, despite not releasing his spiritual sense. Only pure wood spiritual Qi should be present in a wood tribe being.

This person wasn’t a wood spirit!

Han Li quickly came to this conclusion. Afterwards, he looked at the young woman.

He discovered in addition to the young woman’s deathly pale complexion, there was a fist-sized bloodstain on the young woman’s chest. It was as if a blood flower had blossomed, a clear indication of a wound.

When he saw this, Han Li hesitated, considering whether he should reveal himself.

At that moment, the young woman raised her head and smiled at him. “Brother Han, since you’re here, how about you join me and rest?”

Han Li felt deeply shocked when he heard this.

How was it possible for her to see through his invisibility.

The High Zenith Invisibility Talisman might not be effective against Body Integration-stage cultivators, but it could definitely hide him from Spatial Tempering-stage individuals. Could it be the woman was pretending? But the woman smiled in his direction, clearly showing his position.

The only explanation he could think of was that she had a spiritual sense equivalent to a Body Integration cultivator.

Han Li felt bewildered. After some thought, silver talisman characters flickered from his body and his body slowly came into view.

Soon after, he slapped his body and summoned a purple talisman into the air and then his hand.

With a calm appearance, Han Li descended to the ground.“Fellow Daoist Ye, who is this Fellow Daoist? Could you introduce me to her?”

“Sure. This is the spy that the humans and demons placed in the wood tribe, Fellow Daoist Ye Chu. It appears Fellow Daoist had escaped the wood tribe’s pursuit.” The young woman said with a smile. She then examined Han Li with a smile. When she saw that Han Li was in good health, she couldn't help but betray her surprise.

“Ye Chu? Is she a human or a demon?” Han Li glanced at the green-skinned woman and narrowed his eyes.

The woman calmly glanced at Han Li and said, “Your eyes are quite sharp. I am a human, but my body possesses Wood Phoenix Spirit Blood. I can be considered half-demon.” Her voice was somewhat hoarse.

“A Wood Phoenix? Yi! You have Spatial Tempering cultivation!” When he heard her name, he swept his spiritual sense past her and his face changed.

Ye Ying answered with bright eyes, “Older Sister Chu comes from our Ye Clan. She possessed early Spatial Tempering cultivation when she was sent to spy on the wood tribe. After many years had passed, she has completed the cycle of Spatial Tempering and is bordering the Body Integration stage.”

“This is thanks to a few benefits I acquired from the wood tribe, or else I wouldn’t have reached this stage. However, I didn’t expect that the young master would personally come here.” Ye Chu spoke with a modest tone and stood in front of the young woman with a helpless appearance.

Han Li felt a chill facing a person with such fearsome cultivation. With a respectful expression, he said, “So it was like that. If Senior hadn’t come to rescue us, I fear we would’ve been completely wiped out.”

“Let’s get to that later.” Ye Ying’s smile faded and her face turned serious, “Because I was chased too quickly, I have yet to ask what happened. Older Sister Chu, why did we fall into the wood tribe’s trap. Where are the others?”

The green-skinned woman answered, “Apart from me, all the others were killed. About a hundred years before, the wood tribe acquired information on our spies. It was only because of my Wood Phoenix blood that I was able to escape detection. The others were caught and tried to escape, but they were caught one by one.”

The green-skinned woman continued her answer, “As for why you were ambushed, it was because the wood tribe’s higher echelon altered the scope of the Dream Sifting Tree’s detection. I fear they detected you as soon as you entered. Fortunately, the upper echelon of the wood tribe doesn’t view Black Leaves Forest with much importance. It only sent a single lower silver-tier wood spirit to oversee it. Otherwise, it would’ve been difficult for you to escape them.”

The young white-robed woman, Ye Ying, slowly said, “So it was like that! Older Sister Chu, these last thousand years must’ve been hard on you.”

“It’s nothing. These past few years in the wood tribe haven’t been spent in vain. I’ve grasped many of their secrets. I’ve even made connections in the tribe, but I am certain I am now exposed. I cannot continue to stay here.”

Han Li felt his heart stir.

Ye Ying smiled, “Deep Heaven City is possible on the brink of another war. Even if nothing happens, the clan master plans on calling you back. With your current cultivation, there is no point in continuing to hide here.”

However, her smile seemed to provoke her injuries and she coughed several times, causing her face to turn paler.

“Is the young master alright? How about you take another Phoenix Spirit Pill?” Ye Chu proposed with a tense expression.

“No need! There aren’t many left. I’ll leave them for something else.” Ye Ying shook her head.

“What? Is Lady Ye heavily injured?” Han Li blinked.

Ye Ying curled her lip and unhappily said, “That silver-tier tree spirit landed a clean blow. Would you say the injury is grave?”

“If it is an ordinary internal injury, I have several medicine pills for that. Perhaps they’ll be useful.” Han Li said with a calm tone. He then waved his sleeve and summoned several medicine pills in her direction.

Ye Ying raised her brow. She reached out for the air and summoned them into her grasp. She then opened them and took a few whiffs.

Having some medicinal knowledge, she wore an astonished expression and immediately uttered their names, “Wondrous Grass Pill, Hundred Blessings Pill, Returning Spirit Water... Brother Han is quite generous to present these sacred medicines to me. In that case, I won’t hold back.”

With her status, Ye Ying could’ve prepared a few of them, but she felt disbelief that a Deity Transformation cultivator could take out so many of them in a single breath.

The young woman blinked and promptly opened the bottles, swallowing several of the pills, revealing her trust in Han Li.

Han Li felt some admiration for her decisive actions.

Of course, she most likely had some sort of secret technique, so she had no fear there was something wrong with the medicine pills.

After she swallowed the pills, color returned to Ye Ying’s face. Then, she glanced at Han Li and asked, “Ah yes, how did you find me? If I’m not mistaken, your invisibility talisman seems to be a silver rune talisman. Might I know its name? This is the first time I’ve seen such a high-grade silver rune talisman.”
