"Tsk tsk, Friend Han's luck is not small. This Soul Yin Ganoderma is at least two thousand three hundred … no, two thousand four hundred years old. That's more than enough to exchange for the Wangxi Pill …" Gao Buqian's eyes rolled a few times as he spoke.
"This Soul Yin Ganoderma can be exchanged for two Wangxi Pills." Han Li interrupted Gao Buqian's words.
"This … Friend Han, I only have one of these pills." Gao Buqian replied with a wry smile.
"The elders of the other peaks may not have it, but I don't believe an elder of the Dawnfall Peak who specializes in alchemy can't take out two Wangxi Pills.
If Elder Gao wishes to make things difficult for me, then I can wait a few more days. I'm sure a sect as large as yours will have someone willing to sell them, "Han Li said in an unhurried manner.
Gao Buqian's white brows furrowed. This time, he really fell into hesitation. After struggling for a long time, he clapped his hands fiercely and said,
"Deal!"
Han Li accepted a white jade box from the white-browed elder. He scanned it with his Divine Sense and a smile appeared on his face.
The person's body faintly exuded a mixed herbal scent, which was equivalent to telling him the person's identity as an alchemist.
A two or three thousand year old spirit medicine might be rare and precious to others, but to him, it was naturally nothing. It was far less useful than the two Wangxi Pills in his hand.
Gao Buqian brought the wooden box to his nose and sniffed it for a while. Only then did he let out a long sigh of satisfaction and happily put it away into his storage bag. He then said to Han Li, "Come to the Dawnfall Peak when you have time." He then hurriedly bid farewell and left.
After that, Han Li did not immediately leave the market. Instead, he wandered around the valley and exchanged most of the spirit stones in his hand for a few high-grade pills similar to the Wangxi Pill. Only then did he leave the valley and fly towards the Chuyun Peak.
After returning to the cave dwelling, Han Li saw Liu Le 'er sitting alone in the hall with one hand supporting her chin in a daze.
"Le 'er, what are you thinking about?" Han Li asked as he sat opposite Liu Le' er.
"Big Brother …" The little fox girl called out happily when she saw that Han Li had returned.
"Why are you daydreaming here alone?" Han Li smiled gently.
"Le 'er is thinking about what happened after I met my big brother. I feel like I'm dreaming," Liu Le' er said seriously.
Han Li was startled at first, but then he laughed.
"If this is a dream, Le'Er really hopes that she will never wake up.
In this world, besides my parents, big brother is the only one who treats me the best. Le'Er hopes that big brother will always be by my side. "The little fox girl's nose suddenly turned sour as she spoke in a low voice.
Han Li looked at Liu Le'er and hesitated for a moment. Then, he suddenly raised his hand and placed two fingers on her forehead.
Liu Le'er didn't understand and jumped in fright, but she didn't move away.
"Close your eyes," Han Li said softly.
When Liu Le'er heard this, she didn't hesitate and immediately closed her eyes tightly.
Han Li shook his head with a smile and closed his eyes as well, silently chanting.
After the time it took to burn a stick of incense, Han Li opened his eyes.
Liu Le 'er, who was sitting opposite him, was already slightly pale at this moment, and there was sweat on her temples.
Han Li withdrew his fingers and said, "Alright, you can open your eyes now."
Liu Le'er's long eyelashes trembled as she slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Han Li with a puzzled expression.
"Just now, I have already imprinted the 'Fantasy Spirit Transformation' cultivation method into your sea of knowledge. This is a high-level Demon Clan cultivation method that I came across by accident. It is suitable for your fox body to cultivate." Han Li smiled slightly.
When Liu Le'er heard this, she closed her eyes and felt it. Her small face was still a little confused.
"Although I will do my best to protect you, if I am not by your side, you must be able to protect yourself. At least, you must be able to hold on until I find you," Han Li explained slowly and seriously.
Liu Le'er listened and thought for a moment. Then, she nodded and said to Han Li seriously, "Yes, Le'er will definitely cultivate this cultivation method."
Han Li nodded with a smile.
… …
Cloud Protruding Peak, in a meeting hall.
"Peak Master, that person is indeed a high-level Strength Cultivator. We have already made the necessary arrangements and didn't alert anyone from the other peaks.
As for Martial Nephew Gu, we have already rewarded him according to your instructions. We have also warned that we must not tell anyone about that person killing a Soul Formation cultivator. "Luo Jun said respectfully to the middle-aged man in a scholar's robe.
"Alright.
This person's body is strong. He can kill a Soul Formation cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage. He will naturally be of great use to our peak in the future.
Take care of him. If he has any requests, try your best to fulfill them. "Peak Master Nangong nodded.
"Yes," Luo Jun replied.
"You may leave." Peak Master Nangong waved his hand.
Luo Jun bowed and retreated.
"Han Li …" Peak Master Nangong murmured to himself. He closed his eyes and meditated for a moment. Then, he stood up and walked towards the back.
… …
Han Li naturally didn't know about the conversation between Peak Master Nangong and Luo Jun.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in a secret chamber in the cave abode. More than ten jade bottles and jade boxes were lined up on the table in front of him.
He held a small red bottle in his hand. He opened the cork and poured out a fiery-red pill. A strong medicinal fragrance spread out. After examining it for a while, he raised his head and swallowed it. Then, he closed his eyes and checked the condition of his body.
After a while, he opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
Although the rank of this fiery-red pill was similar to the Horoscope Pill, it didn't have any effect on him.
Han Li didn't show any surprise. He casually picked up the second bottle of pills and poured out a glistening yellow pill.
The pill melted in his stomach, but it still didn't produce any magic power.
After a while, Han Li opened his eyes and expressionlessly picked up the third bottle …
Soon, he had tried more than half of the pills on the table. Unfortunately, they were all useless. There was only a purple jade box and a blue and white porcelain bottle left on the table.
Han Li's expression was solemn, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
It seemed that finding another pill that was suitable for him was much more difficult than he had imagined. However, he had finally arrived at the Leng Yan Sect. With his current understanding of the Spirit Huan World, there were all kinds of cultivation resources here. As long as he put in some effort, he should be able to gain something.
As he thought about this, he picked up the purple jade box from the table and used his fingers to pick out a gray pill from the box. He raised his head and swallowed it.
This time, Han Li's heart jolted, and a hint of joy finally appeared on his face.
He felt traces of magic power emerge from the pill and circulate one round in his meridians before merging into his dantian. It caused his magic power to increase slightly.
Although the effect of this gray pill was far from the Horoscope Pill, no matter what, he found another useful pill. It was a fortunate thing.
As for the pill in the blue and white porcelain bottle, after trying it for a while, it naturally didn't have the slightest effect.
Han Li exhaled lightly. He took out another gray pill from the purple jade box and held it in his palm.
This pill was called the Dark Cloud Pill. Although its effect was to strengthen one's foundation, it was more suitable for those cultivators who cultivated water-attribute cultivation methods. Its effect was quite different from the Horoscope Pill.
Han Li pondered for a while, then suddenly stood up and walked out of the secret chamber.
When he passed by Liu Le 'er's bedroom, his footsteps stopped.
Although there was a door between them, Han Li could still feel the surging spiritual energy inside. It was obvious that she was cultivating hard.
He nodded happily and continued to walk out. Soon, he arrived at the alchemy room.
This alchemy room wasn't big. It had a circumference of about forty to fifty feet. The floor was greenish-black. In the middle of the room, there was a round block that was half a foot above the ground. There were many dark red patterns carved on it, forming an array.
In the middle of the array, there was a black hole. There was a faint flicker of fire, and a scorching aura seeped out from it.
In the middle of the round block, there was an alchemy furnace that was half the height of a person. It was emitting wisps of spiritual energy. It was quite extraordinary.
Han Li's gaze swept over the place. He then sat down on a praying mat next to the alchemy furnace. He waved his hand and struck out a magic art.
The red array suddenly lit up. Then, a bright red earth fire emerged from the black hole and wrapped around the alchemy furnace.
Han Li first cleaned the inside and outside of the alchemy furnace. Then, he turned his hand and took out the Dark Cloud Pill. He waved his hand and threw it into the alchemy furnace.
He formed a magic art with both hands. The earth fire immediately moved along with his magic art. It split into eight bunches and drilled into the alchemy furnace. Soon, the furnace emitted a strong medicinal fragrance.
Han Li's hands did not stop forming the magic art. The medicinal fragrance suddenly became faint.
His expression didn't change. He continued to form the magic art with his hands.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The medicinal fragrance emitted from the alchemy furnace was almost gone. Instead, there were other smells. Moreover, it seemed to be a mixture of many smells.
Han Li suddenly stopped and struck out a magic art. The fire at the bottom of the alchemy furnace was immediately extinguished.
He waved his hand and rolled up the lid of the alchemy furnace. The Dark Cloud Pill inside disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a small handful of colorful powder.
After Han Li looked at it for a moment, he carefully emitted a green light and carried the powder out.
The green light gently trembled. Suddenly, countless thin threads appeared inside. It was as if thousands of small hands had reached into the powder and stirred it.
Soon, the small handful of powder was divided into more than a dozen parts. Each part had a different color.
Han Li nodded. He carefully separated the different powders into more than a dozen small jade boxes that he had prepared in advance.
The secret technique he had just used was called Inverse Alchemy Technique. It was an unorthodox secret technique that he had obtained by chance in the Spiritual World. It could refine and decompose elixirs in reverse.
The purpose of the person who had created this secret technique was to rely on this technique to decompose other people's elixirs and reverse deduce the elixir recipe.
Unfortunately, this person failed in the end. This Inverse Alchemy Technique still had its limits. It was impossible to completely reverse deduce the elixir recipe. It could only reach the level of identifying the elixir's ingredients.
After Han Li obtained it, he felt that this technique was quite novel. Since he was an Alchemy Grandmaster, he had memorized it. Today was the first time he had used it.
