Chapter 24: The Spirit of Shock

　　Looking at the rabbit in front of him that was still growing larger and continuing to swell, Han Li realized that there was a hint of something wrong, and suddenly remembering something, he suddenly threw the porcelain bowl in his hand, which had already been regarded as being like a snake and scorpion, to one side of the medicinal field, turned around and ran with his legs spread out again, and ran until he was a dozen or so feet away from the rabbit before he stopped dead in his tracks.

　　Just when he wanted to look back, one after the other, two almost simultaneous explosions came over, Han Li was so excited that he had a cold war, turned back to look, and sure enough, the two rabbits had been broken through the body, blown into several cuts, and the flesh and blood were scattered on the ground. The original place where the rabbits were tethered appeared two pits, and around the pits were the scattered remains of the rabbits, with blood and meat spilling all over the place, which could be described as a miserable sight.

　　Han Li let out a long breath and sat his butt on the ground, this time if it wasn’t for his quick enough reaction, I’m afraid that he would have to be affected by the rabbit’s explosion, although he wouldn’t necessarily be seriously injured, being drenched in rabbit blood and meat scraps wasn’t a comfortable thing either.

　　Only after his heart calmed down did Han Li stand up and walk over to the vicinity of the pit.

　　He was speechless as he looked at the bloodied scene, and then at the porcelain bowl that had been smashed to pieces in the medicinal field.

　　Han Li had thought that he would be able to discover some kind of panacea from the green liquid, but he didn’t expect it to be such a horrible thing… Poison is poison, right, but it made the rabbit die such a tragic death! He wouldn’t touch this thing now, no matter what he said. It was too scary! It wasn’t that Han Li hadn’t come into contact with deadly poisons, and under Dr. Mo’s teachings over the past few years, he had seen many, many poisons that killed at the sight of blood, but none of them could make a person die such a horrible death.

　　Finally, Han Li’s mental capacity is stronger, in this kind of environment can still calm down and stay for a while more, before making the intention to leave.

　　This was because noon was approaching, and he had to send the prepared secret medicine to Senior Brother Li. All the aftermath here, it would be better to wait until he finished delivering the medicine.

　　With this thought in mind, Han Li didn’t take another look at the explosion site and left all the trouble for later, returning to his residence and resting for a bit before taking the medicines with him to the entrance of the Divine Hand Valley.

　　Han Li was very punctual, and when he arrived at the mouth of the valley right around noon, Li Feiyu looked like he had already been anxiously waiting there.

　　He was the only one who stayed alone at the exit of the valley, having changed his body into a white brocade robe, but still carrying the long knife that had left a deep impression on Han Li on his back. When Han Li arrived, he was wearing a hint of urgency on his face, anxiously gazing in the direction of the valley.

　　It was only when he saw Han Li’s arrival that he put away his anxious look and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, a smile appearing on his face.

　　”Senior Brother Han, you’re really punctual! When you say it’s noon time, you really arrive at exactly noon time, and I’ve been waiting for most of an hour.” Li Feiyu said, half joking and half complaining.

　　”I’m sorry, I spent too much time dispensing medicine yesterday and didn’t go to bed until very late, so I got up a little late in the morning, and when I finished handling everything at hand, it was right on the dot of noon.” Han Li also said in a half-truth.

　　”Senior Brother Han, medicine, is that medicine …… dispensed?” Senior Brother Li was a bit flustered due to his anxiety, and surprisingly, he stuttered a bit in his speech as well.

　　Han Li didn’t answer Senior Brother Li’s question, smiled calmly and slowly took out a palm-sized medicine bag from his pocket, throwing the medicine to Li Feiyu with a flick of his hand.

　　”Every time before you take the Marrow Extraction Pill, use cool boiled water to wash down a spoonful of the powder inside the medicine packet, and it will alleviate the pain you’re suffering.”

　　”Thank you Senior Brother Han! Thank you Senior Brother Han!” Senior Brother Li was ecstatic, as long as he could slightly alleviate the pain that little bit, it would be a great blessing for him, the pain he felt when taking the Marrow Extraction Pill really made him shudder. He had taken many painkillers in the past, but none of them had any effect, since this Senior Brother Han knew all the characteristics of the Marrow Drawing Pill and had taken it as well, then maybe this medicine of his really did work.

　　”Don’t thank me in a panic, it’s not too late to thank me when this medicine really works. In addition this is only a year’s worth of medicine, the herbs I have on hand right now are all used up, when I get enough herbs together, then I’ll help you dispense a few more.” Han Li said bluntly.

　　”It’s fine, isn’t this a one-year dosage, it’s enough for now. Regardless of whether this medicine is effective or not, I, Li Feiyu, heartily accept this token of appreciation from Senior Brother Han.” Senior Brother Li got what he wanted, his complexion returned to normal, and he no longer made a show of it, dryly stating that he owed Han Li another big favor.

　　Han Li smiled faintly and said nothing more, taking the initiative to bid farewell to Senior Brother Li and return.

　　Li Feiyu holding the secret medicine in his hand also wanted to hurry back to try the efficacy of the medicine, also did not retain Han Li, the two said goodbye to each other and parted ways.

　　After returning to the valley, Han Li first went to the medicinal garden to clean up a bit. The rabbit’s remains, bloodstained soil, broken bowls and so on were swept to the pit, and then the two pits that sprang up for no reason were pushed flat with soil, so that it looked like this place was no different from before the experiment.

　　Han Li satisfied patted the dust on his hands and looked around to see what was missing.

　　When his gaze landed on the place where the porcelain bowl had been broken, he couldn’t help but ponder.

　　He remembered very clearly that when he threw the bowl away, the diluted water in the bowl all spilled onto that small piece of medicinal ground, wetting a few of the medicinal herbs there, which made him not help but hesitate a little, wondering if these medicinal herbs would become poisonous as well after absorbing this clear water? And if a person eats these poisonous herbs again will they also have the same end as the rabbit? Should one remove these poisonous herbs now? This series of questions just popped up out of nowhere in Han Li’s mind.

　　After pondering for half a day, Han Li decided to wait and observe them for a while longer, just as another small experiment. If the herbs truly became poisonous within these few days, it wouldn’t be too late to remove them himself.

　　After making up his mind, he saw that there wasn’t anything he could do, so he went back to the stone room to practice, hoping that he would be able to make a breakthrough on top of the great improvement in his power.

　　Han Li had long since stopped caring about the specific usefulness of this recipe, his cultivation of this recipe had become a kind of instinctive reaction, if he didn’t go to cultivate it, Han Li didn’t know what he was going to do on the mountain, pursuing a higher level of cultivation of this recipe had become the entire goal of his current life.

　　After an afternoon of dedicated cultivation, Han Li was dismayed to realize that he really wasn’t a genius. Although he himself felt that he was only one finger away from being able to break through the fourth layer, he still hadn’t made the slightest inch of progress, and had done the afternoon’s hard practice for nothing.

　　It seems that he can’t do it without the help of drugs, otherwise he will always have the possibility to stay above the third layer, unable to go further.

　　Han Li’s heart began to look forward to Dr. Mo being able to come back earlier and be lucky enough to find enough medicinal herbs to help himself break through his current predicament.
