Chapter 153 – Yuelu Hall
Han Li stood at a stone platform on the mountainside of a mountain called Wujun Mountain, and at the end of the dozens of feet of wide platform paved with mountain rocks, there was a huge cave that was completely covered by formations – the “Yuelu Hall”.
This “Yuelu Hall” is the specialized collection of recipes, books and related secret techniques for the refining of magic weapons and elixirs in Huangfeng Valley, and it also provides various auxiliary tools and common raw materials for elixir and weapon refining, so it can be said that it is one of the most important places in the entire mountain gate. Therefore, this place not only had numerous prohibitions and formations covering one layer, but also often had more than a hundred disciples patrolling the neighborhood on guard to prevent foreign enemies from invading. There is even a legend that there is a JieDan stage of the senior uncle also in this hall year round closed sitting, so as not to have another big expert invade this place.
After Han Li turned the relevant information he had collected around in his head, he blithely walked forward.
When he had just landed here, he had already felt several wary gazes sizing him up several times in the shadows, but they probably looked at Han Li’s average magical power, so they quickly converged. But even so, it secretly surprised Han Li.
Since these people could make him unable to sense their location, it meant that the other party either had a good magic weapon that could conceal their form, or their magic power was indeed above his, and they were all elite disciples of the twelfth level or above. How could this not make Han Li more cautious!
After taking a few steps forward, he stopped. Then he recited a few phrases in a low voice, raised his hand, and a red light flew out from his hand, smashing into what appeared to be an empty place in front of him.
As a result, after a burst of spatial fluctuation, a wall of light glowing with red light suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked in front of his body, followed by two disciples dressed in red also appeared behind the wall of light.
”Did you break the forbidden law?” One of the red-clothed disciples said coldly.
”My name is Han Li, it’s ……”
”What do we care who you are? Since you don’t have the level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, you must have a guarantor, bring the guarantor’s token!” This disciple impatiently interrupted Han Li’s explanation.
Hearing this person’s impolite words, Han Li didn’t get angry, and with a calm demeanor, he fished out a jade talisman from within his bosom before placing it on the ground in front of him through the wall of light.
At that moment, the red-clothed disciple who had spoken coldly reached out to the light wall, and a palm-sized round hole appeared out of thin air.
The other red-robed man who had not spoken before, on the other hand, gently stroked his hand, resulting in Han Li’s jade talisman automatically flying through that small hole to his hand as if it had grown wings.
”Master Ma is your guarantor?” The red-robed man, who had finished reading the jade talisman, opened his mouth in some surprise.
”It is indeed a token given to me by Senior Ma.” Han Li replied honestly. But in his heart, he was appalled for a moment, these two red-robed men were not very old, but they were actually experts at the Foundation Establishment Stage as well, this surprised him quite a bit!
One must know that in the Immortal Cultivation Sect, seniority is not based on how early or late one enters the sect, but rather it is all based on the depth of the realm that divides one’s status. After all, the path of Immortal Cultivation was still based on those who could teach!
”Is it that Senior Brother Ma who is obsessed with alchemy all day?” The red-clothed disciple next to him was also surprised.
”Isn’t that right, he would also vouch for someone? How surprising! You wouldn’t be his personal disciple or son or nephew or something like that, would you?” The red-robed man, who had taken the jade talisman and confirmed it several times over, rose with some curiosity.
”No, my junior is only looking after the medicinal garden for Master Ma, but for the sake of this token, my disciple has also agreed to look after the garden for free for a year!” Han Li didn’t dare to slack off at this point and hurriedly replied in a respectful voice, but his face was a bitterly smiling look.
He was telling the truth with these words.
In fact, in the beginning, when Han Li hit on the idea of a recipe, it was this Master Ma who came to mind. This was because since the little old man had planted so many medicinal herbs, he must be very knowledgeable about the alchemy course, and the pill formulas in his hands must also be rare! Therefore, Han Li took advantage of the time when the little old man came to get the medicinal herbs a few months ago, and mentioned that slightly as an aside.
As a result, Han Li was dumbfounded when the little old man immediately shook his head like a rattle drum upon hearing this, saying that he would not agree to anything. According to this Master Ma’s words, the formulas in his hands were all personally improved by this Alchemy Master of his through countless failures, how could he casually give them to others, this was an absolute impossibility!
But when Han Li bitterly explains that he only needs those original formulas that have not been altered, the little old man puts his eyes together and impatiently tells Han Li to simply go to the Yuelu Hall and find out for himself, why bother coming to bother his old man with so much trouble! In this way, Han Li had to one year of white labor as the price, in exchange for a small old man’s guarantee token, only today’s Yuelu Hall trip.
”Heh! So that’s how it is, I thought the rumored Senior Ma had suddenly changed his nature!” The two red-robed men looked at each other and laughed after hearing this, and the one holding the jade talisman even said it with a smile on his face.
”Alright, come in!”
The two red-robed men simultaneously struck out a spell onto the light wall, resulting in the light wall being squeezed open with a ten feet wide passageway, just enough to accommodate one person in and out.
Seeing this, Han Li would still hesitate, and immediately flashed his body, the person had entered inside.
But the situation after the light wall, let him greatly surprised.
Originally outside, because of the red light wall blocking, so Han Li can not see the scene inside, but now after coming in, what appears in front of him is a bare mountain face, in addition to a small circular array, even what building is not! It made Han Li incredibly puzzled.
”Take this jade talisman, in the future, every time you come, you still need to routinely inspect it, this is the rule here.” After retrieving the spell on the light wall, the man who had inspected the token returned the jade talisman to Han Li.
”Many thanks to the two senior uncles!” Han Li withdrew his gaze as he looked around, trying his best to appear respectful and courteous, hoping to leave a good impression on these two, after all, this place would have to be frequented in the future.
”Well, follow me!”
Apparently Han Li’s thoughts were not in vain, and the two men looked quite a bit milder. After all, most of the people who could come here were mostly disciples of the same generation as them, and naturally they wouldn’t be as polite as Han Li, causing the two of them to develop quite a favorable impression of Han Li.
”However, Senior Nephew Han ah! How did you think of coming to this Yuelu Hall! You know, whether you open a furnace to refine pills or a tripod to refine weapons, it’s best to be at the level of the Foundation Establishment Stage before it’s just right, and it’s a bit too early to come here now!” A red-robed man casually asked, at which point the two of them led Han Li towards that circular spell formation.
”Latecomer just heard and witnessed many alchemy things from Senior Ma, plus I also accumulated some raw materials while looking at the medicinal garden, so I wanted to come here to try my luck, to see if I could find a suitable formula to refine some elixirs that refine my power, after all, Senior Nephew’s qualifications are really bad, and I can only rely on some external power.” What Han Li replied was half-true and half-false, deliberately lagging half a step behind the duo.
”That’s so! But senior nephew’s hopes aren’t very high, you’ll understand what I mean after you go in.” The other shook his head lightly, not optimistic about the purpose of Han Li’s trip.
By this time, the three of them had already walked to the front of the circular array, and then one of the red-robed men gestured for Han Li to stand in the center of the array, while the two of them stood on both sides of the array, one on the left and one on the right.
”Originally, to use the teleportation array, a low-grade spirit stone was to be charged, but we see that it’s also the first time for Senior Nephew to come, so we’ll waive the charge this time. But next time, you can have to follow the rules completely.” One of them said with a low smile.
Just after saying this, the two of them skillfully and incomparably struck a red light onto the spell formation respectively, and then the several spirit stones set in the entire spell formation lit up.
Before Han Li wanted to thank the two people, he suddenly felt a burst of heaven and earth, and the surrounding scenery blurred. Then with a flash of light in front of him, Han Li’s person arrived within an unfamiliar hall, and at his feet stood a spell formation identical to the one he had just seen.
This was the rumored teleportation formation, it was truly marvelous! Han Li marveled in his heart and waited for the discomfort from the conveyor belt to disappear before looking around at this surprisingly large hall.
