Upon hearing this, Han Li thought to himself, "Sure enough, he's asking about this matter!"
But outwardly, he wore a puzzled expression and said, "Senior, I didn't see any spiritual consciousness. Could it be that Senior Lin's spiritual consciousness dispersed on its own before he died?"
Han Li had already made up his mind that if the matter of his spiritual consciousness was brought up, he would firmly deny knowing anything. Otherwise, could he really tell the senior that he inadvertently destroyed his spiritual consciousness when attempting to possess him?
"Not seen?" The fat man looked at Han Li with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, making Han Li's heart pound with anxiety.
"Well, since you didn't see it, then Senior Lin's spiritual consciousness probably got lost in the array and dissipated on its own!" After a moment, the fat man turned away and said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Han Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he knew very well that his explanation would not be believed by the fat man. But judging from the fat man's indifferent attitude towards Senior Lin's life and death, it seemed that he wouldn't delve deeper into the matter.
After all, every cultivator knew that the first thing a spiritual consciousness did after leaving the body was to attempt possession to reincarnate. However, apart from Han Li, there was no other cultivator in the array, so the target of possession could only be Han Li. But since Han Li was fine now, it meant that Senior Lin's attempt at possession had failed, and his spiritual consciousness had been destroyed.
As for whether Senior Lin had taken over Han Li's body and was now acting under his guise, this was something that could be easily seen through!
Because attempting possession was an extremely damaging act to the spiritual consciousness. Even if possession succeeded, without retreating to recuperate for a couple of months, one would be unable to fully control another's body. Naturally, this flaw would be noticed by the fat man.
So both Han Li and Lei Wanhe knew very well what had happened to Senior Lin's spiritual consciousness!
But this fat man, because his first impression of Han Li was not bad, and he couldn't be bothered with such trivial matters, just casually let it go. And Han Li pretended to be oblivious because no matter what the reason, if this matter got out, the accusation of harming fellow disciples would stick with him, which would be greatly disadvantageous.
But in doing so, Han Li couldn't help but feel that this Lei Wanhe was much more agreeable than his own master.
"Junior, your cave abode is too simple! How can you entertain guests like this? Although we cultivators don't pay much attention to these things, it should still be passable!" After dealing with the matter, Lei Wanhe didn't leave immediately but stood at the entrance of Han Li's cave abode, leisurely evaluating it.
Han Li smiled wryly at this. This cave abode had been hastily constructed in just a few days, so how could it be exquisite? However, upon hearing the fat man's comment, Han Li remembered something.
So he smiled and respectfully said to Lei Wanhe, "Junior has some matters to consult Senior Lei about. Would Senior Lei be willing to rest in Junior's cave abode for a moment while Junior explains? Additionally, Junior has some good-quality medicinal herbs from previous years that I would like Senior Lei to authenticate so I can use them with confidence in alchemy."
"Medicinal herbs!" The fat man's expression remained unchanged when Han Li invited him into the cave abode, but when Han Li mentioned the aged medicinal herbs, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he nodded in agreement.
