Background / History

Seven Profound Sect

Han Li was a disciple living in Divine Hand Valley under Doctor Mo when his younger cousin Han Feng arrived at the Seven Profound Sect. Though Han Li was still a thin, ordinary-looking youth, he warmly recognized Han Feng by his village nickname, A Niu, and immediately worried about his cousin's welfare. He entrusted Han Feng to Li Feiyu's care while concealing his own concerns about Doctor Mo. 3

Han Li supported Han Feng's martial cultivation with pills, including Yellow Dragon Pills and Golden Marrow Pills, after witnessing his cousin's extraordinary progress. Han Feng's findings about Doctor Mo's missing former disciples intensified Han Li's existing suspicions, particularly because of Zhang Tie's disappearance. 10

When the time came to confront the danger in Divine Hand Valley, Han Li armed himself with a poison-bolt sleeve crossbow and acted as bait to draw away Doctor Mo's Cloud Wing Bird. He later agreed with Han Feng that Yu Zhitong could not be allowed to escape. 17 19

Entering the Cultivation World

Han Feng supplied Han Li with the complete Evergreen Skill, basic spells, a Storage Bag, and a Blood-colored Long Saber. These gifts allowed Han Li to operate magical tools and take his first concrete steps as an immortal cultivator rather than relying only on martial arts and poison. 28

After leaving the Seven Profound Sect, Han Li visited Han Family Village and attended his younger sister's wedding. Before parting from Han Feng, he gave him a pouch of valuable spirit herbs. 33

At the Southern Wasteland Gathering, Han Li used the Warm Sun Treasure Jade to purge cold poison from his body. He was still only at Qi Refining Level 8, but demonstrated caution by declining Daoist Qingwen's invitation to travel together after sensing that something was wrong. 37 39

Yellow Maple Valley and Setbacks

Han Li entered Yellow Maple Valley with an Ascension Token and spent nearly two years cultivating in the Hundred Herbs Garden. During the Crimson Forbidden Land competition, he presented thirty-eight stalks of spiritual herbs, earning recognition from Li Huayuan, who accepted him as a registered disciple. 55 75

He later achieved Foundation Establishment and began improving his cave dwelling's defenses. Han Feng gifted him the Spirit Rhino Vein Protection Array and the Wind Blade Void Splitting Array after discovering that Han Li lacked adequate protective formations. 82

During the conflict in Yue Country, Han Li was deceived by a mysterious female cultivator after attempting to heal her. Her suction technique drained most of the magical power he had painstakingly cultivated, reducing him to Qi Refining Level 5. He regretted his moment of softness but did not display deep resentment toward her. 120

Chaotic Star Sea

Han Li rebuilt his cultivation in the Chaotic Star Sea, where he refined Qu Hun into an External Incarnation and cultivated rare materials including ten-thousand-year Soul Nurturing Wood. He later shared the opportunity to cultivate Gold Devouring Insects with Han Feng and prepared extensively before joining the Six Linked Hall's demon-hunting operation. 121 144 221

He developed his spiritual sense and puppet arts through the Great Evolution Art, eventually obtaining its fifth and sixth layers as well as methods for crafting high-level puppets from Han Feng. 221

Han Li also entered the Void Sky Hall, survived the dangers surrounding Old Ancestor Extreme Yin, and later returned to Tiannan. 187 192

Nascent Soul Era

Han Li eventually formed the Great Geng Sword Formation using thirty-six Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords. Even as only half of the formation, it granted him the ability to contend with Nascent Soul Middle Stage opponents. 251

During the Tiannan war, he negotiated for Geng Metal and a portion of the Profound Heaven Immortal Vine in exchange for assisting against the black-robed mages. He subsequently attempted to cultivate the vine with the Little Green Bottle. 258

After entering seclusion, Han Li formed his Nascent Soul, shocking Moongazing Sect and reuniting him with Nangong Wan, who had believed him dead. 235

Appearance

Han Li is initially a thin boy of about thirteen or fourteen in an ordinary gray disciple robe. His features are described as plain enough that he could disappear in a crowd, though he bears a faint resemblance to the Han Family Village. 3

• Usually dresses simply, including ordinary Yellow Maple Valley disciple robes. 82
• Has a slightly tanned complexion after years of cultivation and travel. 82
• Often carries several Storage Bags at his waist. 82
• Retains an ordinary appearance even after attaining the Nascent Soul Stage. 237

Personality

Han Li is cautious, observant, and reluctant to expose himself unnecessarily. He sensed danger around Doctor Mo, refused to travel with Daoist Qingwen despite the latter's polite invitation, concealed the truth surrounding Senior Brother Lin's death, and avoided public attention at the Yan Family's Treasure Seizing Assembly. 3 39 84 102

Despite his careful nature, he is deeply loyal to those he regards as family. He gives Han Feng cultivation resources when he has little security himself, shares his spirit herbs and Gold Devouring Insects, and spends over a year locating and refining Spirit Extending Powder to fulfill Han Feng's request. 10 33 121 144

He possesses a steady state of mind developed through repeated danger. Even after learning that Han Feng had secretly reached Core Formation, he immediately understood the need for secrecy and promised not to reveal it. 102
