The person who walked in was a tall, purple-haired woman in her twenties, with a short white horn several inches long on her forehead, with a dignified appearance, looking at Han Li with a slight smile .

The true face of this Patriarch of the Bai family on Mount Lu is really shocking!

"Why, didn't Fellow Daoist Han know beforehand that the concubine was a daughter?" the purple-haired woman said to Han Li with a chuckle.

"Fellow Bai Yunxin did not mention this matter to Mr. Han. I lost my composure, which made the fairy laugh." After all, Han Li is not an ordinary person. The expression is still in the eyes.

"It's nothing, this is not the first time I have met this concubine. After all, the name of the layman Futian is indeed easy to be misunderstood. But this title has been handed down from more than ten generations of ancestors of our Bai family, so the concubine Even if the body is a great magic skill, it is not easy to change it at will." The purple-haired woman smiled and explained a few words softly.

This made Han Li suddenly realize something.

In some families, there is indeed a practice of retaining some titles and functions from generation to generation, so as to enhance the cohesion and inheritance of the family in some ways.

This approach seems to be a bit of a joke, but as far as Han Li knows, it seems that the effect is really good.

At this time, the purple-haired woman had already sat down opposite Han Li, and after waving her hand, the maids who were standing around with their hands tied, immediately obediently exited the hall and closed the door gently.

"According to my incompetent junior, brother Han is an ascetic and doesn't go out much. If that's the case, it's no wonder that I heard the name of fellow daoist Han for the first time. But fellow daoist's magic skills seem to be very superb, and he should enter It’s not been a short period of time in the realm of the super demon. Otherwise, how could I not be able to see through the specific cultivation level of my fellow Taoists.” After the woman’s divine sense swept across Han Li’s body, her beautiful eyes flickered for a while. asked.

"Mr. Han is practicing the way of killing. He has always liked to practice in wastelands and places where there are many monsters, and he has less contact with outsiders. As for the time to advance to the Demon Lord, fellow Taoists guessed wrong. Han Moujin The realm of super-level Demon Lord is only a few hundred years old. Daoist friends can't see through their cultivation, but it's just that the magic skills I cultivate are somewhat special." Han Li chuckled and replied half-truthfully.

At the same time, he also used his divine sense to probe towards this layman, but that ray of divine sense was as fruitless as a mud cow entering the sea, which made him feel a little shivered.

It seems that this woman either has heavy treasures on her body to protect her body, or she has a miraculous skill that can cover her breath.

It is naturally impossible to say that the strength of the opponent is still far above him. After all, Han Li's current cultivation base is profound, almost double that of ordinary existences of the same level. He never believed that the mana power of the woman in front of him was stronger than his.

"The way of killing! Although I don't have much contact with this kind of magic art, I also know that the actual combat power of all Taoists who practice the killing magic art is far superior to that of ordinary fellows. If this is the case, my body is really Disrespectful!" The purple-haired woman was startled when she heard Han Li's words, and the doubts that secretly existed in her heart disappeared a lot, but there was also a trace of imperceptible joy on her face.

"Although the magic power of the Way of Slaughter is not small, it is really difficult to practice. If I hadn't asked myself to practice hard behind closed doors and kill some monsters, I really couldn't break through the bottleneck in front of me, so I might not be able to escape. Come out." Han Li said lightly.

"I am not practicing the way of killing, but I have also been stuck in the bottleneck for thousands of years. Entering the realm of the demon king, it is extremely difficult to improve if you want to be more diligent. Most of the time, you need a certain chance to achieve your wish."

It seemed that Han Li's words touched the pain in the purple-haired woman's heart, and she agreed with it with a sigh.

"I have heard for a long time that the Huanxiao Desert is one of the famous forbidden places in the holy world, so I just stopped here. I hope to enter this desert to hone after a period of rest in the city. It would be even better if I can find some opportunities in it. It's nothing more than a matter." After Han Li nodded, he suddenly changed the subject.

"Although our Bai family is not a big family, we still have some influence in the local area, and we know a lot about the Huanxiao Desert. If you need anything, you can bring it up. I will tell the disciples of the clan to be friends Provide all conveniences." The purple-haired woman said with a twinkle in her eyes after hearing this.

"Since Fellow Daoist said so, I really need the help of the Bai family for one thing or two." Han Li said with a slight smile as he patted the tip of his knee with one hand.

"Oh, feel free to listen to it, fellow Taoist. As long as the Bai family is really capable, they will definitely not refuse." The purple-haired woman said without hesitation with a solemn expression.

"I heard that no matter how great your supernatural power is, once you enter the Magic Howl Desert, you can't activate any escapism. However, it takes fifty or sixty years to cross the entire desert on foot. Although I want to hone it in the Magic Howl Desert After a while, but I don't want to waste such a long time on the road. So I plan to buy an eight-legged magic lizard from the Bai family as a substitute for transportation. I wonder if the Bai family can sell it next?" Han Li stared at the purple hair The woman's face directly said what she really wanted.

"Eight-legged monster lizard! Fellow Daoist really made this request. To be honest, fellow Daoist, I have heard Yun'er talk about this before." Hearing Han Li's words, the purple-haired woman let out a long sigh.

"Why, is this matter really embarrassing for Fellow Daoist Futian?" Han Li asked with his eyes narrowed, his expression unchanged.

"It's not just embarrassing! If it wasn't for Brother Han, who is a strong Demon Lord, and someone else mentioned this matter face to face, I might have issued an order to expel the guest immediately." The purple-haired woman shook her head and said.

"I've heard it before, saying that the eight-legged monster lizard is very important to several big families in your city, and they won't sell it to outsiders. Can you clarify the reason for it first?" Han Li rubbed his chin , asked with an unchanged expression.

"This matter is not a secret, of course it's possible." The purple-haired woman just pondered for a while, and then agreed very readily.

"The value of the Eight-legged Demon Lizard itself, needless to say the concubine itself. Not to mention its magic core, bones, and even flesh and blood can refine a rare qi-training pill. But this alone is not enough to make it Several of our big families attach great importance to it. Fellow Daoist Han should know that the reason why Illusory Night City was built here is because of some unique minerals and elixir produced nearby. The sale of these things can make my own The city makes a lot of money, which is enough to maintain the daily expenses of our big families. But what fellow Taoists don’t know is that as the city has been built here for tens of thousands of years, the original minerals and elixir nearby have long since disappeared. It has been picked up. Now the special products provided by this city are all the ore veins and medicine fields that we have found in the depths of the Magic Howl Desert. Although these new resource points produce a lot, if they come from these places, the things will be safe and sound. To transport them back, they had to rely on the Eight-legged Demon Lizard. Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to go back and forth on foot due to the dangers in the Phantom Howling Desert. After all, this desert is a well-known forbidden place in the entire holy world. It is difficult to get in and out of it easily. What our big families value this monster is its ability to shuttle freely in the Phantom Howl Desert. Every missing head may make the family's annual income fluctuate greatly. Under such circumstances, our How could they sell the Eight-legged Demon Lizard so easily." The purple-haired woman told the story slowly, without any intention of concealing it.

After hearing these words, Han Li frowned slightly, feeling extremely troubled.

If other reasons are easy to deal with, and if it is related to the rise and fall of a family, this eight-legged monster lizard may be really hard to get by ordinary methods.

Thinking in his heart, Han Li glanced subconsciously at the opposite woman, and found that the other woman looked calm, but there was a slight strangeness in his eyes, and his heart moved immediately, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Fellow Daoist Futian, you didn't reject my request just now, obviously there is still room for negotiation. How can fellow Daoist give up the favor of an eight-legged monster lizard? Let's just talk about it. Thinking about it, it shouldn't just be a matter of raising the price. "Han Li asked calmly.

"Brother Han has figured it out. I already know that I can't hide this from fellow daoists!" The purple-haired woman was startled for a moment, but then she chuckled lightly.

Han Li looked at the opposite woman calmly, without saying a word.

Seeing Han Li's expression, the purple-haired woman couldn't help restraining her smile a bit, and after a little thought, she said solemnly and calmly: "If it was three years ago, no matter what the conditions, our Bai family would not Let go of any eight-legged monster lizard. But now, it is not a non-negotiable matter. Because our Bai family is in some troubles, and we need the help of people with great powers like Brother Han to solve it. .”

"Trouble? Fairy should not be the only ancestor of the Bai Family's Demon Venerable Ancestor. Is there any trouble that your family can't solve?" Han Li's face changed slightly when he heard the words, but he asked calmly.

"If it's an ordinary trouble, I wouldn't have mentioned it when I first met my fellow Taoist. I should tell the truth! It's actually an extremely important mine vein of our Bai family in the Huanxiao Desert, and there's a big problem. This resource point was occupied by a demon beast with the strength of a demon king a few years ago. This monster is extremely powerful, and our Bai family is unable to expel it, so we can only have the audacity to ask some friends to help. But if If Brother Han also makes a move, it will be a bit more sure. After the matter is completed, I can decide to use an eight-legged magic lizard as a reward for helping fellow daoists." The purple-haired woman said with a wry smile.

"How many demon-level helpers have you invited, fellow daoist?" After hearing this, Han Li was silent for a moment before asking calmly.

"Two people have been invited, plus me and another elder of the Bai family, there will be a total of four demons who will fight together." The purple-haired woman replied without hesitation.
