Chapter 24: Soul Settled

Watching the rabbits in front of him still constantly growing larger, continuing to expand.

Han Li realized that something was wrong. Suddenly, he remembered something. He suddenly threw the porcelain bowl that had been regarded as a snake or scorpion in his hand into the medicinal field on the side, turned around, and ran away, running until he stopped at a place more than ten feet away from the rabbits.

Just when he wanted to look back, two explosion sounds that sounded almost at the same time came over. Han Li shivered, looked back, and sure enough, the two rabbits had already had their bodies broken, being blown into several sections, and scattered on the ground with flesh and blood flying. Where the rabbits were originally tied, two pits appeared, and around the pits were the rabbits' scattered remains, with blood and flesh scattered all over the ground, which could be said to be unbearable to look at.

Han Li let out a long breath and sat on the ground. If it weren't for his quick reaction this time, he was afraid he would have been affected by the rabbits' explosion. Although he wouldn't necessarily be seriously injured, being drenched in rabbit blood and meat residue wasn't a comfortable thing.

After his heart calmed down, Han Li stood up and walked to the vicinity of the pit.

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

Han Li originally thought he could discover some spiritual medicine from the green liquid, but he didn't expect it to be such a terrifying thing. Poison is poison, but it made the rabbits die so miserably! He wouldn't touch this thing no matter what now. It was too scary! It wasn't that Han Li hadn't been in contact with deadly poisons. Under Doctor Mo's teaching over the past few years, he had seen many poisons that sealed the throat at the sight of blood, but none of them could make people die so terrifyingly.

In total, Han Li's psychological endurance was relatively strong. In this environment, he could still calm down and stay for a while before planning to leave.

Because it was almost noon, he had to send the prepared secret medicine to Senior Brother Li. As for all the aftermath here, let's wait until he finished sending the medicine before dealing with it.

Holding this idea, Han Li didn't look at the explosion scene again, left all the trouble for later, returned to his residence, rested for a while, and then brought the medicine to the entrance of the God Hand Valley.

Han Li was very punctual. When he arrived at the valley entrance, it was exactly noon. Li Feiyu, however, seemed to have been waiting there anxiously for a long time.

Only he was alone at the exit of the mountain valley, wearing a white brocade robe, but still carrying the long blade that left a deep impression on Han Li on his back. When Han Li arrived, he was looking towards the mountain valley with a trace of anxiety on his face.

After seeing Han Li's arrival, he put away his anxious expression, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Junior Brother Han, you are really punctual! You said it was noon, and you really arrived exactly at noon. I've been waiting for more than half an hour." Li Feiyu said half-jokingly and half-complaining.

"Sorry, preparing the medicine yesterday took too much time, and I didn't sleep until very late, so I got up a bit late in the morning. After I finished dealing with the things at hand, it was exactly noon." Han Li also said half-truthfully.

"Junior Brother Han, the medicine, that medicine... has it been prepared?" Senior Brother Li was a bit flustered because of his anxiety, and he even stuttered a bit when speaking.

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

"Before taking the Marrow-Extracting Pill each time, first use cold boiled water to take a spoonful of medicinal powder in the medicine bag, which can alleviate the pain you suffer."

"Thank you, Junior Brother Han! Thank you, Junior Brother Han!" Senior Brother Li was ecstatic. As long as he could alleviate even a little bit of pain, it was a great gospel for him. The pain when taking the Marrow-Extracting Pill really made him shudder. He had taken many painkillers before, but they didn't have any effect. Since this Junior Brother Han knew all the characteristics of the Marrow-Extracting Pill and had also taken it, maybe his medicine would really work.

"Don't rush to thank me. It won't be too late to thank me after the medicine is really effective. In addition, this is only a year's worth of medicine. The medicinal materials I have on hand are all used up. After I collect enough medicinal materials, I will help you prepare a few more portions." Han Li said bluntly.

"It's fine, isn't there a year's worth of dosage? It's enough for now. Regardless of whether this medicine is effective or not, I, Li Feiyu, accept this intention of Junior Brother Han." Senior Brother Li got what he wanted, his expression returned to normal, and he didn't act anymore, very straightforwardly indicating that he owed Han Li another big favor.

Han Li smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and took the initiative to bid farewell to Senior Brother Li to return.

Li Feiyu held the secret medicine in his hand and also wanted to go back quickly to try the effect of the medicine, so he didn't keep Han Li anymore. The two bid farewell and parted ways.

After returning to the valley, Han Li first went to the medicinal garden to clean up. He swept the rabbits' remains, blood-stained mud, broken bowls, etc., into the pit, and then pushed the two pits that appeared for no reason flat with mud. In this way, it looked no different from before the experiment.

Han Li clapped his hands covered in dust with satisfaction and looked around to see if there were any omissions.

When his gaze fell on the place where the porcelain bowl was broken, he couldn't help but ponder.

He remembered very clearly that when he threw the bowl away, all the diluted clear water in the bowl spilled onto that small piece of medicinal land, wetting a few medicinal herbs there. This made him somewhat hesitant, not knowing whether these medicinal herbs would also become poisonous after absorbing this clear water? And if people ate these poisonous medicinal herbs, would they also end up with the same ending as the rabbits? Should he clear these poisonous herbs now? This series of questions suddenly popped up in Han Li's mind.

Han Li pondered for a long time and decided to wait and see, observing them for another period of time, just as if he had done another small experiment. If these medicinal herbs really became poisonous within these few days, it wouldn't be too late for him to clear them.

After making up his mind, he saw that there was nothing to do, so he went to the stone room to practice again, hoping that he could make another breakthrough on the basis of his greatly advanced cultivation.

Han Li had long since stopped caring about the specific use of this formula. Practicing this formula had become a kind of instinctive reaction for him. If he didn't practice it, Han Li wouldn't know what to do while staying on the mountain. Pursuing the cultivation of a higher level of this formula had become the entire goal of his life at present.

After a whole afternoon of focused practice, Han Li found dejectedly that he really wasn't a genius. Although he himself felt that he was only a finger away from breaking through to the fourth layer, there was still no progress, and he had wasted a whole afternoon of hard practice in vain.

It seemed that he couldn't do it without the external force of medicine, otherwise, he might stay on the third layer forever and be unable to move forward.

Han Li began to look forward to Doctor Mo returning early and being lucky enough to find enough medicinal materials to help him break through the current predicament.
