"If I were in the situation that Daoist friends are in now, I would also want to find an ally. Han Li smiled and said noncommittally.

"Yes, I wanted to go with Li Daoyou before, and it was also for this consideration. It's just that Daoyou refused at the time, so I didn't have time to talk to you about this alliance. The Flame Immortal Venerable shook his head and said helplessly.

"If I hadn't been in trouble, I might have said yes right now...... In any case, now the two of us have become fellow travelers, but they have the status of one more member of the Reincarnation Temple. Han Li looked directly at the other party and said slowly.

After hearing this, the hesitation on his face flashed again and again, and he hesitated for a long time before saying:

"Li Daoyou, you and I have met in Yehegu, although it is not a friend of life and death, but it can also be regarded as a gentleman's friend, can you tell me frankly, what is the task given to you by the Reincarnation Palace?

"Fellow Flame Daoist, I won't tell you, I'm not a real core member of the Reincarnation Palace, and the task I received is only to assist Fox San in exploring the ruins of the Shingon Gate, but I really don't know what he wants to do. Han Li said calmly.

"Since Li Daoyou said so, I don't have a reason to disbelieve it. I don't trust Hu San and Shi Chuankong, after all, each is its own master, and it is unpredictable. Whether this trip to the ruins can form an alliance or not, I still hope to get a positive answer from the mouth of Li Daoyou. The Flame Immortal Venerable gritted his teeth and said.

"The task of the Hall of Reincarnation is pressing, there are some things I can't help but do, but when it comes to the lives of Heat Dao friends, Li doesn't dare to guarantee that he will do his best to rescue, but he will definitely not stand idly by, let alone fall into the ground. Han Li thought for a moment and said.

"Okay! With the words of Daoyou, I can be regarded as a reassuring pill. Once this matter is over, there will be a good reward. Heat Immortal Venerable clenched his fists slightly and said.

Han Li immediately returned the salute.

The two chatted for a while, and then the Immortal Venerable said goodbye and left.

......

More than ten days later, early in the morning.

Han Li and the Flame Immortal Venerable came to the battlement where the ferry was moored, only to find that only Hu San was waiting there.

"Hey, why don't you see Shi Daoyou?" said Han Li with a light sigh after greeting him.

"Brother Shi should still have some things, it will be a little later. It's been a fast time, and I'm not enjoying it yet. Fox San yawned and said lazily.

"It seems that the fox three friends went to the Colosseum again yesterday. Han Li smiled slightly.

"Hey, don't mention it. Fox San waved his hand.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Shi Chuankong and Shopkeeper Zhu arrived late, and after confessing, they boarded the ship with a few people.

Traveling with the boat was a late Jin Immortal worshipper from Guangyuan Zhai, and a true immortal early stage steward, the former just showed up and talked briefly with a few people for a while before returning to his quiet room, while the latter had been accompanying a few people and arranging guest rooms for them one by one.

The whole ferry is very large, thousands of zhang wide, in addition to the cargo warehouse, there are more than 300 passenger rooms, but generally not rented to the public, only for the use of the people of the chamber of commerce.

Han Li chose a guest room located in the lower cabin, the conditions were slightly worse than the one above, but it was far away from the other guest rooms, relatively private and secluded.

That True Immortal steward accompanied Han Li through the warehouse to Han Li's guest room.

As he passed through the warehouse, Han Li saw that there were some large black boxes neatly stacked inside, with some special runes engraved on them, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Steward Hu, the spiritual power fluctuations on these black boxes are somewhat familiar, why do they feel a little like storage bags?" Han Li asked with some confusion.

"The predecessors are right, these black boxes are indeed storage weapons, and they are actually easier to make than storage bags, and each one can probably store goods of a hundred times the size of their own, but the storage period is not as long as the storage bag. However, it is enough to transport some spiritual soil and the like. The True Immortal Steward explained.

"I see. Han Li nodded and said.

Continuing inward along the warehouse, Han Li also saw some special cages, some of which were hundreds of zhang tall, while others were only three feet in size, with wisps of electric light wrapped around them, and forbidden talismans were attached to them.

Inside the cage, there were all monsters and spirits lying on their stomachs, either scarred or listless.

"There are always people who like these strange things and are willing to pay a high price. Look at that wild sand lion, it was named by the Colosseum in Spirit Swamp City, and it took us a lot of effort to get such a lion from the border of the Wild Realm. The True Immortal Steward didn't wait for Han Li to ask, he took the initiative to point to the cage inside and said.

Han Li frowned slightly and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, the true immortal steward closed his mouth in amusement and did not continue to speak.

After he sent Han Li to the door of his guest room, he couldn't help but ask, "Senior really doesn't need to change to a first-class guest room?"

"No, I like to be secluded, and I appreciate the kindness of the caretaker. Han Li said with a smile.

"That'...... If there is any command from the seniors, I will not bother for the time being. The True Immortal Steward retired.

After he left, Han Li opened the door and entered, only to find that the guest room was unexpectedly very spacious, with a quiet room and a living room in addition to the bedroom.

The quiet room and living room are adjacent to the side of the ship, and each has a small window that allows you to see a canopy of the sky.

After Han Li looked around, he began to take out the array artifacts one by one and arrange the magic array in the entire guest room.

When the arrangements were complete, he went to the ashram and sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and breathed.

As night fell, the cool moonlight poured down from the porthole, casting a white spot the size of a foot.

Han Li took the dark green vial from his chest, placed it in the white light spot, and after looking at it for a moment, he turned his wrist again, took out the jade slip that recorded the fifth-layer exercises of the Alchemy Technique, and put it on his eyebrows to carefully comprehend it.

......

The ferry is empty, time is quiet, and more than 30 years have passed in a flash.

In the middle, by alternating the use of the teleportation array and taking the ferry, Han Li and the others passed through the Oolong Continent all the way safely and soundly, and entered the middle of the Floating Hill Continent.

On this day, Han Li, who had been in retreat for a long time, was knocked open by Hu San on the door of the guest room.

"Li Daoyou, don't retreat for too long and forget about business. We're almost at Yanbo City, and we'll have to disembark here. Fox San glanced Han Li up and down and said with a smile.

Li wanted to forget about this incident, but the fox Sandaoyou definitely didn't agree. Ha ha...... Daoist friends will take the first step, I will clean up, and I will come to the deck to meet you immediately. Han Li immediately teased.

Fox San nodded, and then left.

Han Li closed the door and put away all the array flags and other things in the room, and wiped out all the aura that he had left here before leaving for the deck.

Half an hour later, Han Li and the four of them left the ferry, flew down on the official road outside Yanbo City, and slowly walked towards the city.

"Fox San, why don't you follow what you said before, and get off the boat when you get to Phantom Smoke City? I have already arranged everything there in advance, but you insist on getting off the boat here?" Shi Chuankong seemed to be a little dissatisfied with this matter, and asked.

"Brother Shi, you don't know anything about this. Everyone knows that the appearance of the Misty Dust Phantom Smoke is a harbinger of the appearance of the Shingon Gate Ruins, but they don't know where this Misty Dust and Phantom Smoke will come from, right?" said Hu San with a look of disgust.

"You mean, the misty smoke came from near Yanbo City?"

"Yanbo City, Phantom Smoke City, Wind Regret City and Liuyan City, although they are all distributed along the Phantom Smoke Swamp, but the previous few times when the Misty Smoke appeared, almost all of them were headed by Yanbo City, which shows that its origin must be the closest to Yanbo City. As far as I can tell, it's most likely near the UFO Island. Fox San hehe, but still explained a few words.

"Fox Sandaoyou, what are you talking about the Misty Smoke and Fog?" Han Li asked with some confusion.

"I'll leave that to me...... After the Shingon Gate was destroyed, for some reason, the entire sect was almost lost except for a few fragments. After that, every 3,600 years, when a pink smoke grows on the phantom swamp, some of the ruins of the Shingon Gate will appear, but most of the time it is like a mirage, fleeting, and out of reach. The Flame Immortal Venerable's eyes condensed slightly, and he said slowly.

"It seems that the Heat Daoist has also done a lot of research on the ruins of the Shingon Gate......" Shi Chuankong raised his eyebrows and said.

"It's just idle rumors. Heat Immortal Venerable snorted.

"In fact, the ruins of the Shingon Gate did not exist in the past, and the Phantom Swamp was not originally called that. Fox San changed his words and said.

"No relics?" Han Li asked with a raised eyebrow as he was a little surprised.

"Not bad. About tens of thousands of years ago, the first misty smoke appeared on this swamp, and the ruins of the Shingon Gate were gradually revealed, and it was only then that it was renamed the Phantom Smoke Swamp. Fox San nodded and said.

"So, didn't the ruins of the Shingon Gate appear out of nowhere, how could this be?" Han Li frowned and asked.

"That's why...... The jury is still out. However, Brother Shi speculated that the battle for the destruction of the Shingon Gate was so earth-shattering that the entire Shingon Gate eventually fell into the cracks of space, so there was no trace of it. It wasn't until tens of thousands of years ago that it resurfaced under some unknown circumstances. Fox San explained.

"I'm just guessing casually, don't take it seriously, don't mislead Li Daoyou. Hearing this, Shi Chuankong smiled and waved his hand and said.

"Shi Daoyou is too modest, I think this is very likely to be the truth. Han Li said with a solemn expression.

A few people said as they walked, and before they knew it, they had already arrived outside the gate of Yanbo City, and there was only a team led by the early stage monks of the True Immortal at the gate, and the identity of the people who entered the city was randomly checked, and the verification was not strict.

After Han Li and the others paid a little fee, they easily entered the city.
