“Star Palace!”
Han Li exclaimed silently, his heart filled with astonishment.
The three white jade palaces, except for their different sizes, were identical in style to the Star Palace that had appeared in the Scattered Stars Sea.
Likewise crafted from flawless jade, they were incredibly exquisite and beautiful, radiating a faint luster.
However, compared to the palace that floated in the void that day, these three were only a third of the size of the Star Palace.
Han Li suppressed the surprise in his heart, took another careful look, and finally confirmed that he had not seen incorrectly.
The three palaces definitely had some connection with the Star Palace.
However, there were no plaques above their doors, nothing at all was displayed there.
Han Li’s eyes twitched, but he nonchalantly said to the Ren surnamed cultivator:
“So this is the inner court of the Minor Extreme Palace?
Indeed, a heavenly place of cultivation.
These three grand palaces seem to have some history; having identical styles, they must have some story behind them!”
“What you refer to, Fellow Daoist, would be the Void Spirit Hall.

These three grand palaces have existed since the foundation of our Sect.
It’s said that they were built by the founding ancestors of our Sect and several close friends with great magical efforts, containing profound mysteries within,” replied the Ren surnamed cultivator casually, glancing at the three palaces.
“Void Spirit Hall?” Han Li muttered with a hint of peculiarity in his eyes.
“Oh?
Does Brother Han have an interest in them?
However, unless a major event occurs, these three great halls are always sealed.
They can only be opened when more than half of the elders agree to do so.
As for the reasons, I must apologize, but I cannot disclose them carelessly,” said the Ren surnamed cultivator with a mysterious smile, noticing Han Li’s interest in the three palaces.
Seeing his expression, Han Li chuckled and decided not to ask any further.
Asking more might be seen as probing into other Sect’s secrets, which is highly frowned upon.
Moreover, even if these three palaces really had something to do with the Star Palace, it had no relation to him.
The most important treasure of the Star Palace, the Heavenvoid Cauldron, was already in his possession.
“Fellow Daoist Han, please come with me, the White Condensation Pavilion is over there.
It seems that Sister Bai holds you in high regard; this pavilion is specially used to host close and esteemed friends.
Quite elegant and tranquil indeed,” said the Ren surnamed cultivator, clearly very knowledgeable about Bai Yaoyi’s affairs.
“Is that so!
Truly honored!” Han Li said with a slight smile.
The Ren surnamed cultivator chuckled and then took Han Li flying towards a side of a cliff, eventually landing in front of a tiered building.
This building had three layers, each over ten zhang high, built entirely out of green wood, with most of it embedded into the cliffside.
Above the main door of the pavilion, there was a light yellow plaque with the words “White Condensation Pavilion” written in silver letters.
Han Li barely set foot on the ground when a woman in a white robe came forth to greet them from the pavilion.
“Greetings, Elder Ren!
This must be Senior Han?” The graceful-faced woman was startled to see the Ren surnamed cultivator and Han Li together but promptly uttered respectfully.
“Correct.
Is Fairy Bai inside?” Han Li replied composedly.
“My master just finished her seclusion and is consolidating her mana inside the pavilion.
She specially asked me to welcome Senior Han.
Please don’t be offended, Senior!” The beautiful woman stepped aside, opening up the path behind her; she did not seem to have the same courtesy for the Ren surnamed cultivator.
“Elder Ren, I need to speak with your master, there are some matters I wish to discuss with her,” said the Ren surnamed cultivator without hesitation.
“Elder Ren, this puts me in a difficult position.
As you know, my master has already instructed that she no longer wishes to see Elder Ren.
Last time, Sister Gong let Elder Ren in to see her, and was punished severely afterwards,” said the beautiful woman without surprise, but with a wry smile and an expression of difficulty.
“This time it’s different.
I’ve come with Brother Han.
Surely your master doesn’t intend to avoid seeing Brother Han as well,” said the Ren surnamed cultivator, his face reddening, but his eyes darted about, and he started using Han Li as a shield.
Han Li, standing beside, was momentarily startled and then the corners of his mouth twitched, though it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to say anything.
“Thisa€|” The beautiful woman hesitated.
“Yan’er, let your Elder Ren in.
I’ll meet with him,” an enchanting female voice suddenly came from the pavilion, belonging to Bai Yaoyi.
“As you command!
Elder Ren, please come in,” the beautiful woman relaxed, stepping further aside, no longer standing in Elder Ren’s way.
Hearing Bai Yaoyi’s voice transmission, a look of delight appeared on the Ren surnamed cultivator’s face, and his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to speak to Bai Yaoyi using voice transmission from outside the pavilion.
“Elder Ren, whatever you have to discuss, let’s talk inside the pavilion.
It’s not polite of us from the Minor Extreme Palace to leave Fellow Daoist Han standing outside like this,” Bai Yaoyi’s calm voice came again, without the slightest hint of avoiding Han Li.
Han Li stroked his chin, smiling without a word.
“This is indeed an oversight on my part.
Brother Han, let us go inside then,” said the Ren surnamed cultivator, startled, before awkwardly addressing Han Li.
“Not at all!
Brother Ren is clearly a straightforward person!” Han Li responded with a cheery smile.
“`
By now, he had finally understood why, upon hearing that he was here to visit Bai Yaoyi, this person had become so eagerly sociable.
It seemed that he held deep feelings for this woman.
This greatly eased Han Li’s wariness.
Under the guidance of the beautiful woman, they entered the White Condensation Pavilion.
The first floor of the pavilion was not too spacious, merely about twenty-some Zhang in both length and width, shaped like a square.
A simple set of bamboo furniture was present, but in each of the four corners, there was a basin with pale yellow profound flowers which Han Li did not recognize, fist-sized and exuding a strong fragrance that filled the pavilion with spiritual energy.
This made Han Li take a few extra glances.
Bai Yaoyi did not immediately come down, but just as Han Li and the woman sat down on the bamboo chairs, an apologetic voice floated down from above:
“Fellow Daoist Han, please wait a moment; my cultivation technique is somewhat special and I will finish my practice shortly, then I can come downstairs to meet with you.
Why don’t you try our Minor Extreme Palace’s Ice Spirit Fruit in the meantime?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the prepared beautiful woman gently clapped her hands.
Instantly, two young women in white robes walked in from outside of the pavilion, each holding a vermilion wooden tray bearing a string of crystalline berries, the size of thumbs, plump and lustrous as if they were pearls.
The women placed the wooden trays on the table beside the bamboo chairs and respectfully withdrew.
“The Ice Ice Fruit is a unique treasure of our Minor Extreme Palace.
Even the elders in the palace only get a few strings each year.
The fruit is deliciously sweet, and inside it contains extremely pure cold spiritual power.
For those who cultivate ice attribute cultivation arts and frequently consume them, it’s quite beneficial to their cultivation,” Ren Bi explained to Han Li as she glanced at the fruits, then picked one up and started to chew.
Seeing her act in such a way, Han Li, of course, did not hold back and also picked one and put it in his mouth.
When he bit down, a burst of cold spiritual power immediately swirled in his mouth, pure indeed.
Although Han Li’s cultivation was not of the ice attribute, he possessed the Purple Apex Flames and True Fire of Taiyin, two extremely cold flames, so naturally he did not regard this bit of coldness.
As soon as the spiritual power group entered his throat, it was completely absorbed.
This made him more interested, and he picked up another one and tossed it into his mouth.
Ren Bi, who had been paying attention to Han Li, couldn’t help but change her expression a bit.
One has to know that although the Ice Spirit Fruit had a reputation, consuming it would be beneficial for any cultivator.
But for those who did not cultivate both ice and fire attribute arts, ingesting it would surely require a process of converting the cold power, otherwise, they would risk damaging their kidneys by swallowing it rashly.
But Han Li, whose previously released spiritual power was clearly of pure wood attribute, could swallow the fruit without hesitation, which was quite unexpected.
As for eating two Ice Spirit Fruits in succession, even she, who cultivated fire attribute arts, would not dare to do so.
While Ren Bi, an elder of Minor Extreme Palace, was secretly astonished, footsteps were heard on the second floor, and a woman with fine eyebrows and clear eyes, dressed in a white robe, gracefully descended the stairs.
Han Li squinted his eyes and immediately stood up, laughing aloud,
“Fairy Bai, it’s been over a decade since we last met, I trust you’ve been well!”
“Fairy Bai, you finally deigned to meet me,” Ren Bi also stood up joyously.
“When we parted that day, I knew Fellow Daoist Han wouldn’t have proposed meeting without reason.
Years ago, I’ve been quietly waiting in the palace for your visit.
That you’ve only come today is somewhat unexpected to me.
As for fellow apprentice brother Ren, if it weren’t for Fellow Daoist Han’s sake, I really wouldn’t want to meet with you again,” Bai Yaoyi said to Han Li with a smile, but when she turned to face Ren Bi, her expression stiffened, and her voice became harsher.
“I’ve already found the solution this time.
I will not disappoint you,” Ren Bi said hurriedly and out of the blue.
“A solution?
If it’s only about that matter, we can talk about it later.
Since Fellow Daoist Han has come from afar, let’s put it aside,” Bai Yaoyi immediately shook her head.
“That works too.
I will find another opportunity to discuss this matter with you in detail later.
Just being able to see you again fills me with great consolation,” Ren Bi was taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly grasped something and responded with a forced laugh.
Bai Yaoyi, expressionless, just nodded slightly and took a seat in the main seat of the pavilion.
Han Li and the other person also sat down once more.
“Fairy Bai’s cultivation has made significant progress compared to ten years ago!” After taking a good look at Bai Yaoyi, Han Li said with a smile.
“Fellow Daoist Han is joking.
In terms of divine skills, even two of me combined would still fall far short of you,” Bai Yaoyi replied with a gentle smile.
Bai Yaoyi vividly remembered Han Li’s performance in the Yin Yang Cave and on Kunwu Mountain, so she treated his visit with the utmost respect, not daring to slight him in any way.
Ren Bi’s expression changed upon hearing Bai Yaoyi praising Han Li so greatly, and he looked at Han Li again with surprise.
Bai Yaoyi continued to speak to Han Li:
“Ten years ago, Fellow Daoist Han mentioned to me about visiting our palace.
Such words from you at that time wouldn’t have been uttered without reason, right?”
“Since Fellow Daoist Bai has asked so directly, I shall speak frankly as well.
My visit to Minor Extreme Palace is indeed for a reason; I seek Fairy Bai’s assistance,” Han Li said with a moment of contemplation and a smile.
