Chapter 235 – Han Li’s Thoughts

　　The ordinary pills in the world had long since had no effect on cultivators at the JieDan stage. Only with hundreds of years of medicinal herbs and certain heaven and earth self-generated spirit medicine refining spirit dan, can accelerate their cultivation speed. Therefore, every time a JieDan stage cultivator traveled far, most of his time was spent scavenging for extremely rare medicinal herbs.

　　This was also the fundamental reason why Li Huayuan back then, once he saw Han Li, who had come out of the forbidden land, with so many spirit medicines, immediately tried every possible means to take him as his disciple. These heaven and earth spirit medicines were simply too coveted by him!

　　In fact, even if it wasn’t Li Huayuan who was leading the group at that time, but rather Lei Wanhe as well as the other JieDan stage cultivators, I’m afraid that none of them would have spared Han Li’s share of the spirit medicines. Nine times out of ten, they would have all chosen the same technique. It was just that Li Huayuan was indeed a bit stingy, only willing to accept Han Li as a registered disciple!

　　However, taking pills was only an auxiliary means of refining one’s mana, and could only shorten the time it took to meditate and absorb spiritual qi! Diligent cultivation was the proper way to truly transform spiritual qi into one’s own mana!

　　Otherwise is to take more pills, if you do not take the time to refine the aura it contains a little bit of words, or equal to useless, will not increase any mana. After all, the external aura and their own mana, is simply two different things.

　　There have even been cases where someone took a heaven-defying elixir found from an ancient relic, and as a result, there was too much aura in the body, causing the person to explode and die! Therefore, casually taking pills that far exceeded one’s realm was an extremely dangerous thing to do.

　　In addition, when encountering a bottleneck, the spiritual power of the elixir is used to punch through. This is a means commonly used by many cultivators and has also proven to be very effective.

　　Cultivators who could break through their cultivation bottlenecks on their own without the aid of any medicinal power were still too few in the entire Immortal Cultivation world, and none of them were Immortal Cultivation wizards that could only be found once in a hundred years!

　　A Heavenly Spirit Rooter was this kind of person who was recognized as having the most supreme qualifications. Even those with heterogeneous spiritual roots who encountered this kind of cultivation bottleneck could not avoid taking pills to make a breakthrough, which was no different from ordinary spiritual roots.

　　And this cultivator, Lei Wanhe, was the one who encountered this kind of bottleneck. Therefore, in order to refine the auxiliary pills. In fact, he had only just returned from the outside world in search of medicines.

　　But his luck this time, was really not good. Outside of the herbs, there was nothing else to be found, which caused him to hold in his anger!

　　This was also the main reason why he set out to kill the Thousand Bamboo Sect’s people as soon as he saw them. Because at that time, if he did not vent a little, I am afraid that the mood for a long time will not get better. It could only be said that Huang Long and the others were too unlucky to run into this bad mood bogeyman.

　　At this time, Lei Wanhe’s mind was fluctuating.

　　He had experienced more than three hundred years of Immortal Cultivation, what kind of herbs had he not seen before. As soon as these two spirit herbs fell into his eyes, he immediately judged the exact year of the herbs, which couldn’t help but make his heart rejoice.

　　To know, the Yuan Enhancement Dan that he wanted to open the furnace to refine nowadays, what he lacked was spiritual herbs that were more than five hundred years old. That’s why there is this nearly more than a year’s journey, but he will be the entire country of Yue all the big and small market as well as the secular land of the big pharmacy, have searched all over, but also did not find a strain of medicinal herbs to make him satisfied. He could only reluctantly take in two four hundred year old substandard plants, ready to be used for bare use!

　　However, he also knew in his heart, with such insufficient years of spiritual herbs to refine the Enhancement Dan, I’m afraid that even if the Dan into that is also a great reduction in the efficacy of the medicine. It would not be very helpful to himself. However, he really did not have a suitable main medicine in his hands, so what could he do?

　　Continuing to search, it was just a waste of time.

　　Because if there is really a good medicinal material, it would have been acquired by the local sects or Immortal Cultivation Families. By the time he rushed over, he wouldn’t even be able to get a single medicinal hair. As for going to the nearby Immortal Cultivation Realm to look for it, there is no familiar land there, is not the hope even more remote!

　　So when he listened to the nephew outside the cave, some of the years of the ground when the heart moved, with the idea of a look, before entering the humble cave.

　　In fact, in Lei Wanhe’s mind, a foundation stage disciple can have what good medicinal herbs, at most is two or three hundred years of the fire of the herbs! After all, he just ran for such a long time. He had only gotten herbs that were four hundred years old. This is still the reason why people look at him as a JieDan stage expert and no one dares to snatch them from him.

　　Now these two spirit herbs that were six or seven hundred years old had suddenly appeared in front of him just like this. This made him almost unbelievable in addition to being overjoyed!

　　Therefore, although he seemed to be staring at the two plants in his hand, seemingly judging the year, he was actually already considering how he could ask for the herbs from this master nephew’s hand. After all, he felt it was too much of a pity to put such rare things in the other party’s hands! It was still better to give it to him, Grand Cultivator Lei, for alchemy in order to maximize its efficacy.

　　However, he was also a veteran who had lived for so many years, and in the blink of an eye, he had already thought of an excuse.

　　So he coughed twice and somewhat reluctantly put the herbs back into the box before craning his almost invisible neck and saying kindly to Han Li: ”Senior nephew, these two herbs are really rare treasures, ah, with a fire of six to seven hundred years! I’m afraid that it took quite a bit of effort on the part of senior nephew to get them!”

　　”Yes, it took disciple a lot of effort to snatch them from some secret store’s bidding session! At that time, there was also a thousand year old Spirit Grass for sale, but unfortunately, disciple was really unable to buy it, so he had to watch it being bought by someone else, which made disciple still quite regretful!” Han Li said half-truthfully.

　　”A secret store? There’s a thousand year spirit herb!” When the fat man heard this, he almost jumped up from the stone bench at once! For him this was more than a matter of regret, it was as heartbreaking as plucking out the flesh of his heart.

　　Thinking that he, a JieDan stage cultivator, had gone to such great lengths to find spiritual herbs and medicines, and even went to seven or eight secret stores around the world, how come he hadn’t stumbled upon such a good thing? If he had been there, he would not have let such a rare treasure slip away from the bottom of his eyes! If he had been there, he wouldn’t have let such a rare treasure slip away from his eyes. He would have been willing to spend even more spirit stones to exchange it!

　　One thought of such a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity, was actually in front of this kid to let go, fat man is angry with the impulse to grab each other’s neck to question! Although he also knew full well that with the other party’s status as a Foundation Establishment Stage disciple, it was really normal for him to not be able to afford such a heavenly item.

　　”Well, let’s just miss it! Maybe there will be this kind of opportunity next time!” Fatty finally calmed himself down, and also had to mouth a few words of comfort to Han Li. After all, he still had to plot these two spirit herbs from the other party! This was something that he couldn’t put past him even if he said anything nowadays.

　　”Senior nephew Han, what do you intend to do with these two spirit herbs. Do you want to hand them over to the alchemists within the sect? However, as a senior, I have to remind you that the level of these alchemists in our Yellow Maple Valley is really bad enough! If you hand over such a precious thing to them to handle, it’s definitely an outrage, and you’ll really lose a lot!” Fatty persuaded with an air of a serious elder.

　　”How can I give it to them to refine! Disciple actually intends to use these spirit medicines to exchange for something more useful! You know, disciple almost almost lost his family’s money buying these spirit herbs, so how could he easily waste them?” Han Li shook his head non-stop, and at once said something that made Lei Wanhe feel greatly surprised. It caused his originally prepared lines to get stuck at once.

　　However, the fat man thought on second thought that this master nephew was going to use the herbs in exchange for something, wouldn’t that be more to his liking! With his status as a JieDan stage cultivator, besides those extremely lacking ingredients for alchemy and weaponry, could there be anything he couldn’t satisfy the other party with? This was a good opportunity to exchange things over in a bright and honorable way!

　　Thinking of this, Lei Wanhe’s eyes, narrowed even more thinly from his smile, also looked more and more cordial.

　　”I wonder what kind of things do you need, Senior Nephew Han? Senior uncle, I’ve collected quite a lot over the centuries! There might be something that Master Nephew needs.” Fatty blinked his small eyes and suddenly said cheerfully.

　　”Ah! Does senior uncle also need this spirit grass ah, if that’s the case, disciple can let one plant go to senior uncle, just as a filial piety from the younger generation to your old man!” Only then did Han Li seem to come to a sudden realization, and hurriedly said in fear and trepidation.

　　As soon as Lei Wanhe saw that Han Li was so resourceful that he didn’t even mention the matter of exchange, he was immediately about to give a Spirit Grass to himself for nothing. He couldn’t help but be greatly pleased, and looked at Han Li with more and more favorable eyes.

　　But the fat man’s goal was to have both plants! The remaining plant, he was equally unable to let go of.

　　Therefore, Lei Wanhe waved his hand and said with great bravado, “What is this saying of Han’s nephew? Could it be that I, Lei Wanhe, am someone who covets the things of my juniors! If you need something, just say it. I will immediately find a fair exchange with you, and will never let my nephew suffer! Do you want to exchange for a top-ranked magic weapon? Or is it an elixir that happens to be useful at this time?”

　　Han Li was overjoyed after hearing the other party’s bold words. He had gone in such a big circle just to wait until the other party’s words came. On the surface, however, he still scratched his scalp and said, seemingly in a difficult situation, “I won’t hide it from Master Lei, disciple has always been interested in the Dao of alchemy. But within the collection room within the Yuelu Hall, there are simply not many practical pill formulas. Disciple later realized that the alchemy methods left behind in ancient times have long been pretty much lost. Nowadays, the alchemy methods of all the senior brothers and sisters are either painstakingly researched by dozens of generations within the family, or occasionally found from ancient relics, and each one of them is precious as hell, easily refusing to show it to the public. Thus disciple just wants to use these two spirit herbs in exchange for just one suitable Dan formula for his own use!”
