Han Li placed a dozen or so small jade boxes containing different powders aside, waved his hand, and activated the cauldron's formation again. Then, he flipped his hand and took out an elixir. It was the Horoscope Pill.
He pondered for a moment, then threw the Horoscope Pill into the cauldron and used the Alchemy Reversal Mantra again.
An hour later, the Horoscope Pill turned into a dozen or so different materials and was also put into a jade box.
He placed the materials of the two elixirs together and examined them in detail.
"Huh!"
After a moment, Han Li exclaimed softly, and a smile appeared on his face.
Comparing the materials of the two elixirs, most of the materials were naturally different, but one of the blue crystalline powder was exactly the same in color and shape. It was obviously the same material.
However, the blue crystalline powder in the Horoscope Pill was obviously much more than the Dark Cloud Pill.
Both elixirs were useful to him. Although it might not be entirely due to the blue powder's effect, it was definitely closely related to it.
Han Li picked up a bit of the blue powder and sniffed it. Then, he put it in his mouth and tasted it. After a careful examination, his brows slowly furrowed.
Since the beginning of his cultivation, he had formed an indissoluble bond with elixir refinement. Whether it was the various elixir refinement materials of the human world or the Spiritual Realm, he more or less knew about them. He even dabbled in elixir refinement materials of other realms. However, he had no clue about the blue powder in front of him.
"Perhaps, this is something unique to the Spirit Huan Realm?"
Han Li guessed. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly stood up and quickly walked out of the cave abode.
The sky was already dark at this moment.
A green light flashed on Han Li's body, and he shot out.
After a moment, he landed in front of a cave abode on Dawnfall Peak dozens of miles away.
The cave abode's location was rather remote, and there were no signs of human habitation around.
Han Li looked around and walked to the cave abode's entrance. He flipped his hand and took out a sound transmission talisman. After whispering a few words, he waved his hand.
The sound transmission talisman turned into a white light and flew into the cave abode.
After a moment, the door opened with a rumble.
"Elder Gao, Han has troubled you," Han Li said with cupped fists.
"Not at all!
Friend Han, I didn't think we would meet again so soon. Please, come in. "Gao Buqian walked out with a smile and invited Han Li into the cave abode.
Gao Buji's cave abode was clearly larger than Han Li's, but the furnishings were quite simple, and the entire cave abode was filled with the rich scent of medicinal pills.
After Han Li sat down, he said, "Elder Gao, I'll get straight to the point. I've come because I have a matter I'd like your guidance on."
"Fellow Daoist Han, there's no harm in speaking your mind," Gao Buji replied.
Han Li took out the jade box containing the blue powder and handed it over, saying, "Elder Gao is quite knowledgeable. Do you recognize this?"
Gao Buji made an 'oh' sound and took the jade box. Looking at it carefully, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He picked up a bit of the powder and placed it on his tongue, tasting it. He raised his brow and gave Han Li a deep look.
"Looks like Elder Han has asked the right person." Han Li smiled.
"Hehe, you've asked the right person, Fellow Daoist Han.
However … "Gao Buxie chuckled, hinting at something.
Han Li didn't say anything. He took out a spirit stone and threw it to Gao Buqian.
Gao Buqian caught the spirit stone, and a smile appeared on his face. He continued, "I won't lie to you. This is the powder of cloudcrane grass. It's been around for a long time. This grass is one of the main ingredients for many high-level pills in our sect. It's very rare.
Plus, your powder seems to have been processed by other methods. Only I'm familiar with all kinds of spiritual ingredients, and I can barely recognize it. "
"I see... Would you be able to elaborate on the medicinal properties of the Cloudcrane Grass, Elder Gao?" Han Li nodded with a pensive look before asking.
Gao Buqian chuckled. He didn't say anything and rubbed his hands together.
Han Li threw another spirit stone to Gao Buqian.
Gao Buqian happily accepted the spirit stone. He shook his head and slowly said, "This cloudcrane grass is also known as the Color Changing Grass. When it's a hundred years old, it's white. When it's a thousand years old, it's blue. When it's three thousand years old, it's red. When it's ten thousand years old, it's dark red. When it's thirty thousand years old, it's purple.
The most special thing about this grass is that it can absorb the Qi of the sun. When it's a hundred years old, it will produce a trace of natural purple Qi.
Not only is it a necessary item to practice a few powerful techniques, but it can also be converted into natural spiritual energy. It has the effect of cleansing one's body.
The older it is, the purer the natural purple Qi and the more amazing the effect. "
"Natural purple Qi … I wonder where I can find this grass?" Han Li's heart skipped a beat.
"This grass grows in a very harsh environment. As far as I know, it can only be found in a few places. These places are all under the control of the major sects.
Right now, almost all of the thousand-year-old and older ones are in the hands of the major sects. You can't find it outside. "Gao Buqian scratched his head and continued.
After listening to Gao Buqian, Han Li basically had a conclusion in his heart. The thing that could restore his spiritual energy was most likely the natural purple Qi.
"Other than the Wangxi Dan, what other dans are made from the cloudcrane grass?" Han Li thought for a moment and asked.
This time, Gao Buqian did not beat around the bush. He answered directly, "Other than this dan, the Dark Cloud Dan also uses it.
In addition, the Spiritual Dan and the Emptiness Dan also contain a small amount of young cloudcrane grass. The natural purple Qi contained in them is negligible. "
After parting ways with Gao Buqian, Han Li went straight to the Valley of Ease. He spent a spirit stone and bought a few of the dans that Gao Buqian had mentioned. He also bought a few hundred-year-old cloudcrane grass. Then, he returned to the Peak of the Chu Yun.
Inside the secret chamber of the cave.
Han Li sat cross-legged on a cattail hassock. In front of him were the dans and cloudcrane grass that he had just bought.
He first opened a white porcelain bottle, poured out a Dark Cloud Pill, and swallowed it. Immediately, a warm current rose in his Dantian, and wisps of spiritual power spread out from the pill, gradually transforming into magic power, and was stored.
He was overjoyed. He picked up a hundred-year-old cloudcrane grass and put it in his mouth. After chewing a few times, he swallowed it.
After about ten minutes, his dantian warmed up again. Strands of spiritual energy gathered in his dantian and were stored again.
The corner of Han Li's mouth curled up, revealing a smile. He finally confirmed that the natural purple Qi was the key to restoring his spiritual energy.
After a day and a night, when he consumed more than half of the dans and cloudcrane grass that he had bought, his cultivation level gradually increased. Very soon, he was back to the advanced stage of the original level.
Just as he was overjoyed and was about to consume the rest of the dans, his expression became sluggish.
At this moment, the medicinal energy that had yet to be completely converted in his body was finally turning into spiritual energy and was gathering in his dantian.
However, his dantian was now like a tank full of water. It could no longer store any more spiritual energy.
He could only watch helplessly as the power lingered in his Dantian for a while before dissipating bit by bit, turning into nothingness.
Han Li sighed. He knew that this was most likely related to the change in the original level. It was likely that consuming more dans would not help.
As for the reason behind this, he could only figure it out after his physical body and spiritual energy recovered a little.
Today, he could no longer rely on cultivation to increase his spiritual energy. Even if he used dans, he could only return to the advanced stage of the original level. How to speed up the recovery of his physical body and spiritual energy became the most important issue.
Thinking about this, he felt a headache. His index finger softly rubbed between his brows and he fell into deep thought.
After a while, he seemed to suddenly think of something. He raised his head, flipped his wrist, and took out the guest elder token.
Han Li sent his spiritual sense into the command medallion, and a map of the Icy Flame Sect's geographical distribution appeared before his eyes from the convergence of golden light.
