== First Meeting ==
Yuan Zhi first met Han Li who was infiltrating the Hidden Fortune Palace belonging to the Hidden Fortune Pavilion. Han Li wanted to obtain the refinement techniques to create spatial pockets. The master of the palace did not want to share the technique and was unsuccessful at deterring Han Li. 
Yuan Zhi intervened in the conflict. Before hostilities escalated, his disciple intervened warning everyone about Han Li's reputation and feats. Yuan Zhi was shocked to learn that Han Li as a Mid-Nascent Soul cultivator survived the incident of the Kunwu Mountain, and killed the grand elders of the Yin Sifting Sect and North Night Palace. This made Yuan Zhi wary of escalating conflicts with Han Li. To save-face, Yuan Zhi challenged Han Li to a sparring match.
Using the Buddhist techniques, Yuan Zhi was able to counter Han Li's fearsome Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords that were disguised as ice swords. However, the swords demonstrated odd abilities that broke through Yuan Zhi's defenses by freezing his techniques and treasures. Yuan Zhi was forced to use his secret techniques only to be effortlessly countered by Han Li using a spirit treasure. Yuan Zhi realized his mistake after his bonded treasures were utterly destroyed inflicting damage to his soul. Luckily, Yuan Zhi promptly surrendered before Han Li used Purple Apex Flames to further inflict lasting damage.
Yuan Zhi needed several months to recover.
