Chapter 28: Doctor Mo Returns to the Valley

Originally, Han Li didn't intend to prepare the latter two medicines that had nothing to do with cultivation, but after careful consideration, he felt that no matter what, he could be considered half a Jianghu person. Who knew which day he would have a natural disaster or man-made disaster? Would he be involved in some killing in the Jianghu? It was better to prepare some antidotes and healing medicines in advance. If he were poisoned or injured and died because there was no good medicine, wouldn't it be too unjust!

After thinking like this, Han Li still prepared a small amount of the latter two medicines, ready to carry them with him to prevent accidents. After all, everyone's life was only one, and Han Li didn't want to die young.

Although doing so would affect the quantity of the other two spiritual medicines, making the progress of his cultivation slower, this was also a helpless thing. After all, there couldn't be so many perfect things in the world, and people always had to make some trade-offs at certain times.

On the day the medicinal pills were prepared, Han Li began to take one "Yellow Dragon Pill" and one "Golden Marrow Pill" respectively according to the taking method mentioned in the formula. These two medicines were truly worthy of being legendary holy medicines. Under the powerful and astonishing medicinal power of the medicine, without any effort, he broke through the bottleneck that night and practiced to the fourth layer of the formula.

Upon reaching the fourth layer, Han Li immediately experienced a feeling completely different from the past. His five senses were "boom" lifted to an incredible realm. Everything in his eyes suddenly became so bright and clear. Some subtle things he couldn't see before suddenly became magnified, clearly visible in his eyes, even the thin spider webs in the corners of the room could be seen clearly; his hearing also suddenly became incomparably sensitive, and countless sounds he had heard or hadn't heard before all poured into his ears. For example, the "rustling" sound of an earthworm digging into the ground more than ten feet away, the "buzzing" sound of some unknown insect flying past the front of the house, etc., these sounds seemed to ring in his ears, sounding so true and clear; in addition, some strange smells that suddenly popped up also let Han Li know that his sense of smell was also much different from the past.

Han Li was both surprised and happy. This was the first time since he practiced this set of formulas that he felt the time he spent hadn't been wasted in vain. Such a unique feeling showed that this formula wasn't useless, but had its own unique aspects.

Although the practice of the previous few layers also improved his five senses to a certain extent, none of them changed as obviously as the fourth layer, changed as hugely as this. This was simply a qualitative improvement, as if he had completely changed into a different person.

In addition, he also felt that his body was much lighter than before, and his spirit also had long-term progress. Now, letting Han Li not sleep for three or five days, he estimated that there wouldn't be too big a problem.

Han Li savored the things in his body that were completely different from before. He could understand the size of things that happened within dozens of feet without moving in place. This feeling of being able to control everything made Han Li very obsessed and reluctant to part with it.

Only now did he understand that practicing this formula to the fourth layer was truly slightly successful.

He couldn't help but imagine that the fourth layer had such an unforgettable taste! Then what kind of wonderful feeling would there be after practicing the fifth and sixth layers!

Not long after Han Li just realized the mystery of the cultivation method he practiced, his nominal master—Doctor Mo returned to the mountain valley. He not only returned himself but also brought back a mysterious person.

When Doctor Mo just entered the God Hand Valley, Han Li heard the familiar coughing sound from afar. He was practicing in the stone room at that time, striving to be able to advance one layer earlier. After noticing Doctor Mo's sound, he hurriedly gathered his energy and finished his practice, walked out of the stone room, walked towards the valley entrance to pay respects to this master who hadn't seen him for nearly a year, and as a result, met Doctor Mo not far from the valley entrance.

Upon seeing Doctor Mo, Han Li was greatly shocked. The person was still the original person, but what entered his eyes was a gray-defeated face without much vitality. Originally, although he was also yellow and sick, he wasn't to the point of being defeated to the extreme like now, a look of having reached the end of his life.

What made Han Li even more surprised was that behind him followed a mysterious person wearing a black cloak, covered tightly from head to toe by a wide green robe, without exposing half an inch of skin. This person was unusually tall and burly, a full two heads taller than Han Li, with a huge body like a giant spirit, but because he was wearing a cloak, Han Li couldn't see this person's face clearly from the outside, and could only vaguely feel that this person's face must be ferocious and ugly.

Han Li suppressed the questions in his heart, hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects to Doctor Mo, and then stood respectfully on the side, waiting for Doctor Mo's questioning.

He knew very well in his heart that the other party didn't care whether he, the disciple, was polite and respectful to him, but for him as a disciple, the master-disciple etiquette that should be had still had to be done fully and couldn't be abandoned at will, giving the other party a feeling that he was unruly, which would only put himself in a more unfavorable environment.

According to Han Li's various understandings of Doctor Mo, according to his usual concern for his formula practice, after such a long time of not seeing each other, he estimated that as soon as he saw him, he would first open his mouth to ask about his formula practice status to determine how Han Li's progress was.

Sure enough, Doctor Mo saw Han Li take the initiative to greet him from the mountain valley, was slightly startled, coughed twice, and asked weakly:

"How is your formula practicing? Has there been any slight progress?" A look of anxiety and expectation immediately appeared on his face.

Han Li had already prepared his thoughts in his heart in advance and said the prepared answer.

"It's still the same as before, there is no big change." Han Li didn't intend to tell the other party the truth of his practice, because he couldn't explain his current god-like progress, how he could suddenly make a miracle-like jump from the first stage of the third layer to the fourth layer without external force.

"Stretch out your hand." Doctor Mo's expression darkened, and his tone also became stiff.

Han Li carefully noticed Doctor Mo's expression and felt a few slight unease in his heart.

However, he wasn't afraid of the other party taking his pulse personally to search for the status of the internal energy in his body. Because after entering the fourth layer, Han Li unexpectedly found that he could manipulate the strength of the strange internal energy in his body at will. He could completely control the internal energy to the strength when he was in the third layer, which could deceive the sky and cross the sea, without fearing Doctor Mo's personal inspection.
