Chapter 159 – Heaven and Earth Elixir
After Han Li had made up his mind, he put the jade cylinder down and picked up another one instead.
The production of the “Fixed Face Dan” is much simpler than the Foundation Establishment Dan, and does not require a real fire to refine, and there are no unknown medicinal herbs as raw materials, they are all very common varieties.
The only thing that staggers him is that these herbs even move to require more than a thousand years of medicinal properties, in order to be used as a fixed-face Dan raw materials, it is no wonder that never heard of this pill. After all, which cultivator has more than a thousand years of spiritual grass, that is not precious as the heart to see, and how will be wasted on the cultivation of useless fixed face Dan, which also caused the fixed face Dan in the cultivation of immortal world very few people know the matter.
However, this wasn’t a problem for Han Li at all, it was just a slightly longer time to catalyze it. Therefore, he decided that after he had taken care of the Foundation Establishment Dan, he would try to refine a furnace out of it to see if it was really as magical as the recipe said, that it could actually make a person’s face always maintain the same appearance as it was when he took the pill.
And when the little old man came to the Hundred Medicinal Gardens again six or seven days later to pick up the herbs, Han Li did not do much to hide it and stood within the garden and directly asked about these three kinds of strange medicines.
”Chalcedony Cheese, Purple Monkey Words, and Heavenly Spirit Fruit?” The little old man stroked his moustache, his two small eyes narrowing into slits.
”Heh heh! It seems that Senior Nephew has already obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill formula, which is why he inquired about these three main medicines! However, senior nephew! Could it be that you still really want to make your own pills?” This Senior Ma turned his mouth away and looked at Han Li with a you-really-don’t-know-what-you’re-doing look.
”Of course not, not to mention that these three main medicines are still unknown to the late generation, but even the auxiliary medicines with hundreds of years of ingredients, where can the late generation find out? That is, within your old garden here, the oldest is only a hundred year old Dragon Transformation Grass! Under these circumstances, how could my nephew have the luxury of thinking about alchemy?” Han Li would not tell the truth, and cleverly coped.
”Since you don’t intend to refine pills, why are you asking about these three types of strange medicines? The old man is very busy and has no time to chat with you!” The little old man slammed his face and said in an unsympathetic manner.
To this Ma Shi Bo’s eccentric temperament, Han Li has long been expected, so not the slightest panic, but instead smiled and said: “Late generation just see these three main drugs, the name is very peculiar, and also never heard people talk about their shape of the medicinal properties, so very curious, casually so ask just. But what puzzles my nephew is, how can there be three kinds of strange medicines in the medicinal garden of the senior uncle without a single plant. To know so rare species, according to the teacher uncle’s practice, should try to get the seed, in the garden cultivation is right, is it these strange medicine so difficult to cultivate, even the teacher uncle can’t cultivate live?”
”Nonsense, could it be that you doubt Senior Uncle’s skill? The reason why there are no these herbs in the garden has nothing to do with Mister Ma’s skill at all, it’s that they’re all illusions of heaven and earth’s spiritual qi, they’re natural self-growing varieties, so where would one go to find seeds? And even if you get seedlings, because they grow in too peculiar a place, they simply can’t continue to survive in an ordinary environment, even if you put your heart into it again, it’s just a useless endeavor, otherwise do you think I would let them go?” The little old man was irritated by Han Li’s words and couldn’t help but say in annoyance.
”No seeds? How is this possible!” Han Li couldn’t help but lose his voice.
”Hmph, how is it impossible? You know that if something like this, which is almost extinct in the outside world but is of great use to Immortal Cultivators, could be artificially planted, wouldn’t the various Immortal Sects have already planted it in patches, and would they still let the Foundation Establishment Pills diminish year after year?” The little old man rolled Han Li’s eyes for a moment, and said without good humor.
Han Li’s heart went cold at the other party’s words. The Green Liquid Catalyzing Effect was no longer good, but if even the most basic seeds were not available, then how could it be catalyzed? It couldn’t be created from nothing!
”If there is nothing else, I will leave first! I’ll come back for another batch of herbs in two months.” This Master Ma didn’t notice the strange expression on Han Li’s face, but turned around and prepared to leave.
”But where do you get all the main medicines that produce a batch of Foundation Establishment Pills every ten years, and if it’s really like what Senior Uncle said, they grow in a peculiar environment, there should always be a fixed place to grow them!” Han Li’s head spun quickly, and immediately thought of another way out, no seeds no matter, isn’t there still immature seedlings! Finding some more, it was still possible to spawn them. So, hurriedly pursued the question.
”It seems that your curiosity is really not small ah! However, I advise you to just die! Going to that hellish place to find these three kinds of strange medicines, it’s not much different from committing suicide.” The little old man didn’t even bother to turn around and come over, and after coldly saying this, he flew away without paying any more attention.
And Han Li, who was left behind, stood frozen in place, not moving for half a day.
”These three types of strange medicines, I must get my hands on them! Even if I’m not told, won’t I inquire from others?” Han Li tilted the sky and exhaled a long breath as he slowly muttered to himself.
In the two years that Han Li had stayed in the Yellow Maple Valley, other than this Master Ma, the only other people he knew better were Deacon Yu and Transmission Disciple Wu Feng.
Deacon Yu’s heart was too heavy and he was very snobbish, Han Li didn’t like dealing with this person, so the first person he looked for was that senior brother Wu Feng. If he couldn’t get any clues from him, then there was only a trip to the money-grubbing old man of the Yuelu Hall, who would surely know, but I’m afraid that breaking the bank would be unavoidable!
When Han Li arrived at the Transmission Pavilion, which was set up for lower-ranked disciples, Wu Feng happened to be there explaining lower-ranked spells to a few teenagers. When he saw Han Li, he only gave a slight gesture before continuing his work.
Han Li didn’t care about this, he knew that the other party was just more responsible and wasn’t just treating him like this.
Speaking of this senior brother Wu, Han Li really had a bit of admiration for him. Although this Transmission Senior Brother was still hovering at the peak of the Qi Refining Stage after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill and hadn’t yet entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, his comprehension of low-ranked spells was truly divine, and he was able to use them to his advantage, which made Han Li gasp in amazement and benefit a lot from them as well.
If this was the case, Han Li would only be interested in him, and would not be so respectful. What surprised him was that this senior brother Wu in taking over the post of power transmission, to all the teachers and brothers who came to ask for advice on spells, all the same, attentively teach their own experience, does not seem to have half a bit of self-interest, which can really let Han Li surprised not small.
To be honest, at first Han Li did not believe that the other party was a person of such quality, but also thought that he had run into a hypocrite type of guy, just the surface of the work done especially enough, so it has always been cold and indifferent, respect and distance.
But the real contact more than a year later, Han Li from the usual treatment and every move, only to really confirm that the other party did not make a fake, is actually sincere to help all the brothers and sisters. This left Han Li dumbfounded for half a day.
Although he was unwilling to agree with Senior Brother Wu’s approach, his character was truly unquestionable. Therefore, he had also intentionally familiarized himself with him, and now, although he was not familiar to the point of being a close friend, he was still much better than the relationship between ordinary disciples.
Therefore, on the sidelines patiently waiting up.
This senior brother Wu explained really carefully, a junior middle-ranked “Fire Snake Technique” actually said for more than two hours, and also did a few demonstrations, so that the few people to experience a good.
Speaking of which, Han Li’s five elemental spells, in addition to those that came to hand at the beginning, other spells have not really learned more than a few, these two years is only the original has not mastered the integration of just!
This made Han Li completely disappointed in his own qualifications, and even more thirsty for the Foundation Establishment Dan.
The few teenagers finally finished asking for advice and excused themselves from the house, and it was only then that Wu Feng smiled at Han Li and asked, ”Senior apprentice-brother Han, it’s been a long time since I’ve been here! Did you decide to start learning intermediate-order spells?”
Han Li smiled bitterly at his words and said without spirit, “Senior brother is not unaware of my qualifications, learning those elementary lower-order spells has taken two years, and then learning the more difficult intermediate-order spells, it would still take seven or eight years before I could achieve anything, I think it’s better to forget about it!”
Hearing this, Wu Feng frowned and said somewhat reproachfully, “How can senior brother be so disillusioned! You should know that your qualifications are poor, but diligence can make up for clumsiness, as long as you practice hard, you can still achieve something.”
