Chapter 852: Crimson Cloud Pill and Snow Soul Pill

"Eh! This seems to be a Dream-Entangling Fruit, and it has turned deep purple. Only after having medicinal properties for at least ten thousand years would it have this color." Great Expansion Divine Lord's surprised voice came out.

"This medicine garden remnant doesn't know how many tens of thousands of years it has been since anyone came. If the medicinal properties hadn't reached over ten thousand years, I would find it strange!" Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Han Li said calmly. He didn't immediately pick anything with his hands, but quietly observed there for a long time before turning and leaving, heading straight for another corner.

"Dragon Pattern Grass"

"Wind Spirit Flower"

Every time Han Li arrived in front of a patch of spiritual herbs, he muttered the names of these incredibly rare or extinct spiritual medicines.

The spiritual nature of these medicinal herbs was all over ten thousand years, and Han Li's pair of eyes became increasingly bright.

"I didn't expect you to be so familiar with spiritual medicines. There are several among the ones you named that even I am not clear about their medicinal properties." Great Expansion Divine Lord couldn't help but say in surprise.

"Is Senior mocking this junior? I'm doing well to recognize one-third of the spiritual medicines here. I still need Senior's guidance for the rest." Han Li looked up at the medicinal herbs in other directions and said with a faint smile.

"Hmph! Although this old man is slightly involved in alchemy, I haven't deeply researched this, and I can only help you recognize a few more. That one over there is..." Great Expansion Divine Lord perhaps felt this was a small matter and didn't make things difficult for Han Li, easily pointing out the names and effects of several other spiritual medicines.

Han Li looked and nodded, flipped his palm, and a pale cyan jade slip appeared in his hand. He didn't hesitate to immerse his spiritual sense into it, staying in place without moving, seemingly looking for something.

Great Expansion Divine Lord sensibly didn't make a sound to disturb Han Li and remained silent.

After a full meal's time, Han Li withdrew his spiritual sense from the jade slip. A look of contemplation appeared on his face.

This jade slip was exactly the one the Song-surnamed woman of the Falling Cloud Sect had given Han Li that day, which recorded many ancient spiritual medicines and pill formulas; he relied entirely on this object to recognize so many spiritual herbs and trees in this medicine garden.

But just now, Han Li carefully looked through it, and among these ancient pill formulas, there was only one for which he could immediately gather the materials and refine. One part of the materials were these ancient spiritual herbs he had just identified, and the other part were materials he had obtained from the border gambling battle and the ransom for the Copper Lamp Ancient Treasure. Putting the two together, he had barely gathered the raw materials for refining this pill called the "Crimson Cloud Pill."

According to the pill formula, this ancient spiritual pill was a rare pill for advancing cultivation even in the Barbarian Era. For a Nascent Soul early-stage cultivator like Han Li, the medicinal properties were even somewhat wasteful and too overbearing. The best stage to take it should be after entering the Nascent Soul mid-stage.

Taking the Crimson Cloud Pill in the Nascent Soul early-stage would not only waste part of the medicinal properties but also force him to endure the intense pain of meridians expanding or even tearing.

Besides this "Crimson Cloud Pill," there was also a spiritual pill called the "Snow Soul Pill" that had a great hope of being refined. Because the main materials for this pill could be gathered to 80-90% from the spiritual herbs in this medicine garden and the original materials. The missing few types of materials, although rare and hard to find, had a chance of being obtained in the outside world.

Although this Snow Soul Pill was not a pill for advancing cultivation, it was an auxiliary spiritual pill that allowed cultivators of ice-cold attribute techniques to advance their mortal ice-cold power a step further. The pill formula only briefly mentioned the effect of this spiritual pill and didn't explain it in detail. However, a pill that required so many rare raw materials to refine must definitely be extraordinary.

As for the remaining spiritual herbs in the medicine garden, he couldn't gather any more ancient pill formulas. He could only collect them for future use.

As Han Li's thoughts turned, he organized the uses of these spiritual medicines. Even though he was usually calm and composed, he couldn't help but feel excited at this moment!

He had been in the Nascent Soul early-stage for some years. Although he had always been busy and hadn't had the opportunity to truly enter seclusion for long-term cultivation of magic power, wasn't it because he didn't have suitable pills to promote the growth of his cultivation base? That's why he subconsciously moved around everywhere to seek his own opportunities.

Now it seemed that this hard work hadn't been in vain. His opportunity had really arrived.

If the medicinal effects of these Crimson Cloud Pills were truly as magical as the pill formula said, the quantity of spiritual medicines here could push his cultivation base to the peak of the early-stage, and then he could attempt to break through the bottleneck to enter the Nascent Soul mid-stage.

What's more, picking some of these spiritual medicines back to transplant and continuing to use the Green Liquid to accelerate their ripening would allow the quantity of Crimson Cloud Pills to be endless.

As for that Ice Soul Pill, it was equally useful to him.

After all, the Azure Blue Ice Flame and Purple Luo Heavenly Fire he had refined were both extreme cold divine abilities. It was just right to use this pill to promote their power.

Han Li's plan was set, and he let out a long breath, a rare look of joy appearing on his face. If everything went according to his plan, then his trip to the Fallen Demon Valley hadn't been in vain after all. The destruction of various treasures and puppets seemed insignificant compared to this.

The only thing he was still worried about was naturally the two missing flying swords mixed with Geng Metal. However, these two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords were his life-bound magic treasures, so he wasn't afraid of them being forcibly snatched away while the master was still alive. At worst, after going out, he would spend more effort to find the flying swords back. It shouldn't be too difficult.

Han Li didn't know that the flying swords had fallen into the hands of the other Ancient Demon, so he naturally thought this way.

Han Li didn't think much more and patted his storage bag with one hand, and a dozen jade boxes of various sizes flew out from the bag, all hovering in front of him.

Han Li bowed and began to carefully transplant the spiritual herbs under his feet. Once a plant of this spiritual herb was transplanted into a jade box, he didn't rush to move other identical spiritual medicines, but took the jade boxes to the adjacent patch of spiritual medicine.

Regardless of whether they were recognized or unknown spiritual medicines, Han Li planned not to let any go and transplant one plant first. So that after he left this space, he could continue to use these spiritual medicines to ripen them.

However, after Han Li really did this once according to his plan, his face sank and became very ugly.

Because among these ancient spiritual medicines in the medicine garden, there were three types that actually couldn't be transplanted.

One plant spontaneously combusted for no reason as soon as it was transplanted into a jade box, turning into nothing. One, like the Spirit Pillar Fruit he had seen before, withered and lost its medicinal properties as soon as it left the original planting place. The last type of spiritual herb was even more outrageous; as soon as he touched the soil at its roots, the spiritual medicine seemed to be frightened, instantly dissolved and vanished, turning into a pool of liquid on the spot.

Han Li was incredibly annoyed in his heart. Wasn't it said that there weren't many spiritual medicines in this world that couldn't be transplanted? To have three types appear in such a small corner of the medicine garden.

What made Han Li most depressed was that one of the spiritual herbs was one of the main raw materials for refining the Crimson Cloud Pill. This was a terrible piece of news.

After circling around these fire-red little grasses that were as red as flames several times, Han Li's face was as gloomy as water.

Suddenly, he remembered something, hesitated for a moment, reached into his bosom and fumbled, and actually pulled out a green little bottle that was neither wood nor metal.

It was exactly the mysterious little bottle that Han Li regarded as a treasure.

This bottle was usually hidden close to his body by Han Li using secret techniques. Unless he died, it was absolutely impossible for others to discover and snatch it away.

"What is this?" Great Expansion Divine Lord asked curiously.

"Nothing, just a magic tool." Han Li replied casually. Then, he held the bottle flat in his hand with one hand, and calmly opened the bottle cap with the other.

As a result, although the cap was opened, no strange phenomenon occurred.

After waiting for a while, Han Li slowly covered the bottle again, put it away carefully, and frowned tightly.

This space had no sun, moon, or stars, and no distinction between day and night. It wasn't strange that the little bottle lost its effect here, but Han Li still felt a burst of depression in his heart.

This meant that even if he stayed here for years without leaving, he wouldn't be able to get more Crimson Cloud Pills. He could only get as many pills as the spiritual herbs in front of him could refine.

Feeling a burst of frustration, Han Li sighed, looked up at the gray sky, and narrowed his eyes.

Regardless of the pill matter, he had another more urgent problem that had to be solved first, which was how to get out of this space and return to the mortal world.

You know, now there was no one to join forces with him for a strike.

And he had already used his spiritual sense to probe the four walls just now, and there was no place in the surrounding space walls that was unstable or had any strangeness; they were all integrated without any gaps to drill through. As for the sky and the ground, as soon as his spiritual sense probed in, it was bounced back by something. It seemed there were restrictions on these two places.

Silver Moon had already used the Earth Escape Technique to dive into the ground and check carefully.

The only place he had to explore was the gray clouds above, this place.

But the Demon Soul had just been destroyed by this terrifying restriction in front of his eyes, so Han Li naturally didn't want to easily trigger this restriction and bring himself any big trouble.

Just as he was bowing his head in thought, silver light flashed on the ground in front of him, Silver Moon's figure appeared and hurriedly bowed deeply to Han Li.

"Master. This servant has already checked everything underground. Although there is a restriction below, it is already incomplete. This servant followed the gap deep underground and searched everywhere without finding any abnormalities. I am afraid I have disappointed Master." Silver Moon said apologetically.

"It's nothing. It was unlikely there would be any loopholes underground originally." Han Li's expression didn't change, he nodded slowly, and looked up at the sky.

"Master intends to explore the sky?" Silver Moon became worried when she saw Han Li's action.

"Yes! There are no loopholes in the surroundings or the ground. I can only take the risk and go up to see. Since those silver flames only destroyed the Ancient Demon. Although this restriction is powerful, it should be fine for human cultivators. Nothing will happen. Otherwise, are we really going to be trapped here for a lifetime?" Han Li said decisively. Then, cyan light flashed on his body, and he floated toward the sky.
