Chapter 1215: Another Disciple
One morning, several months later.
The sun still hadn't yet risen over the city walls, yet the streets of Nine Origins City were already teeming with pedestrians.
In contrast with the high-pace lifestyle normally on display in the city, all of the pedestrians on this day were looking very lax and casual, either strolling around at a leisurely place or loitering and chatting with one another.
Many of them had expectant looks on their faces as they occasionally glanced up at the sky, seemingly waiting for something.
In the crowd was a handsome, white-robed young man who was slowly making his way deeper into the city while eavesdropping on the conversations taking place around him.
The young man was none other than Han Li, having adopted a disguise with his newly acquired black mask.
"I heard that the immortal envoys from the Middle Earth Immortal Region are a huge deal. Not only do they have countless servants with them, even the palace master of our Golden Origin Immortal Palace is personally accompanying them," a brown-robed elderly man said.
"They're immortal envoys from the Heavenly Court, so of course they're treated with the utmost respect. Otherwise, there's no way they would've been personally welcomed by Daoist Master Chun Jun of our Nine Origins Temple. Besides, they've come here to present Bodhi Tokens, which are highly sought after even among Great Encompassment cultivators, so of course everyone's sucking up to them!" a middle-aged man in a brocade robe said.
"What I wouldn't give for a Bodhi Token," someone else sighed in an envious manner.
Han Li continued onward without pause, listening to all of the nearby conversations, but refraining from taking part in them himself.
Right at this moment, an excited voice rang out in the crowd.
