Chapter 241: Medicinal Effect

Han Li carefully put away the two golden pages and then focused on planning his future affairs.

Since he was going to practice the Qingyuan Sword Art and the Three-Turn Heavy Origin Art, the green liquid in the mysterious little bottle would definitely have to be fully utilized. Therefore, the raw materials for the two ancient formulas had to be gathered as soon as possible. He would cultivate whatever he could get his hands on. For those he didn't have, he would have to go to other places to collect what he could collect and buy what he could buy, without letting any go.

Come to think of it, he still felt that the other components contained in the green liquid besides spiritual power were mysterious and unpredictable, but spiritual energy alone definitely wouldn't produce the miraculous effect of ripening plants.

After entering the Yellow Maple Valley, he had experimented several times again, but regardless of how much he diluted the spiritual liquid, as long as he drank clear water containing a tiny bit of green liquid, all the experimental animals would explode and die. It seemed this wasn't a problem of how much the green liquid was diluted, but that its unknown components were at work.

After getting the same result several times, Han Li had to give up helplessly.

But using the miraculous effect of the bottle just for alchemy seemed too narrow an application! Han Li felt that this miraculous effect of ripening plants must have other great uses, which was a bit of a waste.

Now, after weighing it, Han Li felt that in the battles of the Foundation Establishment stage, besides magic tools and cultivation techniques, intermediate-level or higher talismans were definitely indispensable. These intermediate-level talismans were sky-high in price! It would cost dozens of spirit stones just to buy one, which made Han Li shake his head repeatedly!

However, the five-element magic techniques of intermediate level or higher were indeed very powerful and could be used as sharp methods for self-preservation.

It was just that because these magic techniques were of such high rank, even for Foundation Establishment cultivators, using them required quite a bit of magic power and time. Thus, buying a few to keep as a means of self-preservation became an indispensable necessity.

Therefore, Han Li set his sights on talisman making, and it was intermediate-level talismans at that.

Because the blank talisman paper needed for talisman making, whether low-level or intermediate-level, was also refined from spiritual herbs with longer years, which was just right for Han Li to exert the miraculous effect of the bottle and fully utilize it.

Of course, high-level talisman paper couldn't be made with this method; that required the spiritual skin of certain special demon beasts, which was not something Han Li could come into contact with now.

As for the cinnabar used for talisman making, there wasn't much to be picky about; it was all refined from the blood of some spiritual beasts, and most of it could be extracted from some captive spiritual beasts, which wasn't worth much spirit stones.

The talisman brush used for talisman making was a bit particular. However, Han Li still had a Golden Bamboo Brush here, which should be enough.

Thinking of the Golden Bamboo Brush, Han Li naturally thought of the shy little girl, Han Han Yunzhi. He couldn't help but smile slightly; she must still be at the Spirit Beast Mountain, right!

However, in the blink of an eye, Han Li withdrew his mind and re-weighed the feasibility of talisman making and the pros and cons involved.

With tools and an endless supply of raw materials, the problem of material consumption, which was the greatest limitation for talisman makers, was not a problem for him at all. Now, the only thing that limited him was the cultivation of intermediate-level or higher magic techniques.

Because a talisman maker who wants to refine a certain talisman must first be able to cast that magic technique themselves, otherwise, no matter what, they couldn't conjure a magic technique out of thin air on the talisman paper. After all, a talisman was just a means of sealing a magic technique in advance.

Thinking that he had to practice intermediate-level magic techniques, Han Li felt a headache!

He didn't know if it was really related to his spiritual roots being too mixed, but he seemed to have no talent at all in practicing Five Elements magic techniques. He would spend several times the energy and time of ordinary cultivators, but often gain nothing and be unable to grasp the essence!

However, ever since he entered the Foundation Establishment stage, he could easily learn those low-level magic techniques, and most of them could even be cast instantly. But in intermediate-level magic techniques, he had returned to the starting point, which made Han Li only able to look up to the sky and sigh!

No matter how difficult intermediate-level magic techniques were to practice, Han Li believed he could still master a few. Sealing these into talismans and using them would be enough. Han Li didn't harbor the luxury of being able to refine all intermediate-level magic techniques into talismans for use at will.

Having a large number of intermediate-level talismans would not only allow him to gain the upper hand when fighting enemies, but even if he took them out to sell, it wouldn't attract much attention.

In this way, Han Li could free himself from the predicament of lacking spirit stones. He didn't dare to exchange spiritual herbs for spirit stones anymore; it was too eye-catching!

Moreover, Han Li had another thought: if he really had to disperse his cultivation and re-practice, then during the period of re-practicing magic power, he would undoubtedly be at his weakest. If enemies or foes took advantage of this to come to his door, wouldn't he be too dangerous! After all, the cultivation world was not a stable world, and anything could happen.

But if he had a handful of talismans, he could maintain his strength at a certain level. Even if he couldn't defeat the enemy, he would have a great chance of escaping with the help of the talismans!

Although practicing talisman making as a side job would definitely delay the refinement of magic power, no matter how you looked at it, spending this little time was still more beneficial than harmful!

Han Li, who had considered everything thoroughly, decided to practice the Qingyuan Sword Art and practice talisman making at the same time.

Having made all the plans, Han Li immediately started taking action.

In the first few days, he made two trips to the sect's marketplace and the Feng Tianxing Sect's marketplace to collect raw materials for alchemy and seeds and seedlings of spiritual herbs for refining talisman paper.

Since these alchemy raw materials were things recorded in ancient formulas, they were naturally extremely rare and valuable. But fortunately, Han Li had no requirements for the age of these herbs, so he luckily collected enough raw materials for one kind of medicinal pill, "Qi Refining Powder," which made Han Li overjoyed.

As for the raw materials for talisman paper, since he had to start refining from low-level talismans, it was naturally easy to get them. Of course, a large amount of cinnabar was also indispensable.

Three or four days later, Han Li opened all the formations and restrictions outside the cave dwelling, closed the cave dwelling tightly, and began his first closed-door cultivation after Foundation Establishment.

Cultivation has no years; four years passed in the blink of an eye. The cave dwelling door, hidden under the formation, had been tightly closed ever since it was shut that day and had never been opened again.

Until this day, a blue light suddenly flew from the distant horizon, circled around the formation a few times, and turned into a smiling scholarly man, holding a blue wooden board with a strange shape in his hand.

"This is Junior Brother's cave dwelling! Why did he choose such a remote place, and the spiritual energy isn't very sufficient? If it weren't for Uncle-Master Lei's guidance, it would truly be hard to find!" The scholarly man muttered with some surprise.

Afterward, the scholarly man looked at the formation outside the cave dwelling a few times, and a look of eagerness suddenly appeared on his face.

"Uncle-Master Lei said this Junior Brother's protective formation is incomparably powerful, and even if a Core Formation stage cultivator comes, they might not be able to get any advantage. Is this true or false? Can it really be so powerful? Should I try it?"

But after pondering for a moment, the scholarly man said dejectedly:

"Better forget it; don't delay Master's important business!"

After saying this, he took out a sound-transmission talisman and threw it into Han Li's formation. The sound-transmission talisman immediately turned into a streak of fire and seeped into the formation without a sound.

Then, the scholarly man threw the wooden board in his hand into the air and flew away on his magic tool.

At this time, inside the cave dwelling, in the closed-door cultivation room of the Spirit Eye Spring, Han Li was sitting in meditation.

Looking at his appearance, he was exactly the same as he had been four years ago, without the slightest change, except that his body was shrouded in a layer of faint cyan light, flickering non-stop, looking beautiful and dreamlike.

But if one looked around, one would be speechless. Because besides the area where Han Li was meditating, the ground was scattered with talismans of all levels, from low-level "Fireball Technique" and "Ice Arrow Technique" to upper-level "Earth Wall Technique" and "Fire Cloud Technique," all of which were present, as if it were a large warehouse for talismans. In addition, there were some empty cinnabar boxes and many blank talisman papers mixed in, making it look even more messy!

Don't know how

After pondering for a short while, he suddenly stood up and walked out of the seclusion room. The moment he stood up, all the talismans and other items on the ground were silently collected into his storage bag, and the room instantly became spotlessly clean.

As soon as he walked out of the seclusion room, Han Li flipped his hand, and a small yellow flag appeared in his palm. He then tossed it, and the small flag transformed into a streak of yellow light, flying outward.

In just a moment, before Han Li had even reached the bedroom, the yellow light transformed from the small flag flew back, leading a streak of firelight closely behind it.

Seeing this, Han Li unhurriedly beckoned with his hand, and the small flag flew back into his palm. He spread the five fingers of his other hand, and instantly a sheet of green light sprayed out, wrapping around the firelight and bringing it before his eyes.
