"Senior!" Han Li touched his chin, a hint of strangeness on his face.
The chubby old man was none other than the "Senior Lei" who had exchanged elixirs with him in the past. Now, he unexpectedly addressed him as "Senior."
Although according to the customs of the cultivation world, this was quite normal, Han Li couldn't help but feel a bit strange.
As for the stunning woman named Nie Ying, she had a chance encounter with him in the past and was the "Senior Sister Nie" who had protected Lei Linggen and Murong brothers. Although Han Li had not interacted much with her, he had heard enough to know that she had extraordinary talent and beauty, and countless male disciples admired her.
Unexpectedly, after all these years, this woman had also reached Foundation Establishment.
As Han Li silently observed Lei Wanhe and Nie Ying, Lei Wanhe also felt puzzled.
The man in front of him not only looked too young for his status, but for some reason, he felt that the seemingly ordinary face of the other party seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. This left him bewildered and somewhat uneasy.
Nie Ying's beautiful eyes also flashed with surprise and suspicion as she looked at Han Li. It seemed like she had noticed something.
Naturally, Han Li wouldn't just stand there silently. After smiling, he finally spoke up:
"It seems that Senior Lei doesn't remember me from before. However, the elixir formula Senior gifted me back then was truly a great help."
"Senior? Elixir formula! You... you are..." Lei Wanhe was shocked when he heard Han Li call him Senior, his mouth agape in astonishment. Although he later remembered the elixir formula, he was stunned for a moment.
The others were equally stunned to hear the Foundation Establishment senior suddenly address Lei Wanhe as "Senior," leaving their minds unable to process the situation for a moment.
Only Nie Ying, after hearing this, looked at Han Li again with astonishment and exclaimed:
"You're Senior Li's disciple, Han Li... Junior Brother Han?" In her surprised tone, there was an expression of disbelief.
"I didn't expect Senior Nie to still recognize me," Han Li said with some surprise.
Han Li didn't know that because of his low-key nature and low cultivation level during the Qi Condensation stage, not many people knew or recognized him. However, after surviving the bloody trial and successfully building his Foundation under Master Li Huayuan, he had attracted the attention of many observant individuals.
Nie Ying was one of them.
When the six demon sects invaded Yue Country, and he slew many demon cultivators of the same rank, his reputation soared among the lower disciples. Although they hadn't met in person, the impression he left on Nie Ying was deepened.
Now that Han Li's appearance was exactly the same as when she had seen him, just mentioning it caused Nie Ying to recall the well-known Junior Brother Han from back then, which she blurted out in astonishment.
"You really are the Junior Brother Han from back then," Lei Wanhe swallowed hard, his gaze somewhat dazed.
Although strange things were common in the cultivation world, it was not uncommon for a disciple with outstanding talent to suddenly become equal in status with their elders. However, for a disciple who was originally at the Foundation Establishment stage to suddenly become a senior figure at the Nascent Soul stage, even Lei Wanhe, who was considered well-informed, couldn't react for a while.
