Chapter 68 Han Li's Foundation Building
Several flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
When Sun Zecheng was trapped in the high tower in the core area of the Blood Forbidden Land, Han Li finally completed the work of ripening the seedlings of his foundation-building medicine and entered the Yuelu Palace in the Huangfeng Valley to refine the foundation-building pill with the earth fire.
After refining the foundation-building pill, he continued to build his foundation directly in the underground fire room. It took him a year and a half. At this time, Han Li was already 25 years old before he finally succeeded in building his foundation and came out of seclusion.
After Han Li successfully established his foundation, he went to apply to Sect Master Zhong for permission to open a cave dwelling. Later, he felt that the cave dwelling was not well protected, so he went to the Tianxing Sect market, where he met Qi Yunxiao by chance and obtained the tools for setting up the inverted Five Elements Array. He also gave the materials obtained from the Blood-colored Forbidden Land to Boss Xu of the equipment refining shop in the Tianxing Sect market, who helped him refine them into magical instruments such as the Divine Wind Boat, the Black Dragon Snatch, the Green Fire Miasma, and the Scale Shield.
On the way back to his cave from the Tianxing Sect's market, Han Li witnessed the Qianzhu Sect besieging Senior Brother Lin, who loved carving, in Huangfeng Valley. When a man was in danger, Han Li's character was naturally to watch him die without helping him and just run away. He returned to his own cave, set up the inverted five elements formation he got from Qi Yunxiao, and went to sleep.
Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Lin finally broke through and accidentally entered Han Li's formation. The Thousand Bamboo Sect members who followed behind attacked Han Li's cave. Qi Yunxiao's incomplete inverted five elements formation only consumed a few mid-level spirit stones to block the bombardment of dozens of Thousand Bamboo Sect's foundation-building troops, including both people and puppets. The cost-effectiveness was so high that it was unreasonable.
Han Li was awakened. On the one hand, he complained to Senior Brother Lin that he did not consider him when he was escaping, and insisted on bringing the enemy to himself. On the other hand, he went to collect Senior Brother Lin's storage bag. Before Senior Brother Lin died, his soul left his body and he wanted to take over someone else's body when they were checking the storage bag. Unexpectedly, Han Li had possessed someone else's body before, so he easily counter-possessed and killed Senior Brother Lin completely.
Should we hand Senior Brother Lin's body over to the Qianzhu Sect so that they can retreat? Han Li rejected this thought as soon as it flashed through his mind. It was not because Han Li had any feelings for his fellow disciples, but because Senior Brother Lin's soul was too obvious to leave his body. If he handed it over to the other party, it would only cause more trouble. So Han Li finally hid in the inverted five elements formation like a turtle.
After the Qianzhu Sect's people had been bombarding for an hour, the formation changed and began to flash with a faint green light. The Qianzhu Sect's light beams and arrows hit it, creating ripples like water.
Seeing this scene, the people of Qianzhu Sect shouted excitedly, because the appearance of such water ripples meant that they had the ability to break the formation by force, it was only a matter of time.
The Qianzhu Sect's people wantonly attacked the cave dwellings of the Huangfeng Valley disciples, making a huge noise. Nie Ying was just about to go over to see what was going on when he heard his master Lei Wanhe order: "There are enemies attacking the cave dwellings of our Huangfeng Valley disciples. I'm going to deal with them. Nie Ying, you take Brother Murong with you and don't run around in the cave dwellings!"
Nie Ying agreed, Lei Wanhe flew up, and before he arrived, he shouted:
"Where did you come from, you bastards! How dare you act so recklessly in the Taiyue Mountains and attack the caves of our disciples! If you are tired of living, I will send you to hell!"
The sound was like thunder, deafening. Even Han Li's ears were buzzing inside the formation. Several people from the Qianzhu Sect almost dropped their flying magic weapons.
"The Jindan cultivator is coming, let's retreat quickly!" Several people from the Qianzhu Sect wanted to escape, but there was a sudden thunder and lightning in the sky, a white light suddenly appeared, and then a silver light came flying from a distance and arrived in the blink of an eye. The thunder and lightning instantly split the Qianzhu Sect members into ashes!
Han Li saw that the people of Qianzhu Sect were destroyed. It turned out that the person who came was the elder of Huangfeng Valley. He quickly opened the cave to welcome him out and thanked him: "Nephew Han Li, thank you for your help. I wonder if you can tell me your name?"
Lei Wanhe looked around and said, "I am Lei Wanhe, you can just call me Uncle Lei. Why would these people from the Qianzhu Sect attack your cave?"
When Han Li was asked the reason, he was shocked and said quickly: "It's all Senior Brother Lin's fault for leading them here!" He then recounted Senior Brother Lin's story in detail.
Lei Wanhe was upset when he heard Han Li blamed his fellow disciple Senior Brother Lin for leading him here. He thought, since they are all from the same sect, is it wrong for him to come to his fellow disciple’s cave to seek help when he is injured? This guy seems to be an ungrateful person who has no friendship with his fellow disciples. However, Lei Wanhe knew Senior Brother Lin’s background. When he heard that Senior Brother Lin died of poison, he blurted out: "Little Lin was originally from Qianzhu Sect. I knew that accepting him into Huangfeng Valley would definitely bring some trouble. But I didn’t expect that after so many years, he would still be hunted down and killed."
Lei Wanhe then asked: "Where is Junior Brother Lin's body? Take me to see it." It would not be enough for Han Li to tell it alone. They had to go and see if the body was the same as Han Li said.
Han Li took Lei Wanhe to check on Senior Brother Lin's body. Lei Wanhe examined it and found that he had indeed died of the poison from the Gu Poison Sect in the Far West, but his soul had obviously left his body before he died.
"Before his body completely rotted, Junior Brother Lin's soul should have escaped. I wonder if Junior Brother Han saw it?" Lei Wanhe asked casually.
"Soul, nephew, I haven't seen any soul. Could it be that Senior Brother Lin's soul left his body before he died?" Han Li pretended as if he really didn't know.
"Didn't you see him?" Fatty Lei looked at Han Li with a half-smile in his eyes. This guy not only had no fellowship but also lied a lot. His character was extremely bad. I had to remind Nie Ying later to stay away from such people!
Han Li had already made up his mind that he would deny it if asked, so he lowered his head and said nothing.
Fatty Lei thought that Lin probably failed to seize another body and was killed by Han Li. However, he was his nephew anyway. Since Lin was the one who made the mistake in seizing another body, he might as well die. Lei didn't care. Thinking of this, he said calmly, "Well, since we didn't see him, maybe Lin's soul got lost in the formation and dissipated on its own!"
Han Li felt as if he was released. He knew in his heart that Lei Wanhe was actually well aware that Brother Lin was killed by him when he failed to possess another's body, but he just didn't want to hold him accountable. However, there was still a tail left for this matter, so he had to give Lei Wanhe some benefits and bribe him in disguise.
Thinking of this, Han Li's eyes turned and he said, "I have some good old medicinal herbs. I would like to ask Master to identify their authenticity so that I can use them for alchemy with confidence."
"Herbs from last year?" Lei Wanhe had originally wanted to leave, but stopped when he heard about the herbs from last year. After all, the spiritual energy in the Tiannan Continent was thin, and spiritual herbs from last year were hard to find, even if he was a cultivator in the late Jindan period.
Han Li saw that there was a chance, so he quickly called Lei Wanhe into the cave, took out two six or seven hundred year old herbs and handed them to him, saying, "I spent a lot of spirit stones to get these two herbs at an auction. I don't have enough experience, so I can't tell the exact age of the herbs, so I haven't used them. It just so happens that Master Lei is here today, so I can ask him to help identify them!"
Han Li's words were actually full of loopholes. You went to buy spiritual medicine, but you didn't even know the exact year of the spiritual medicine. Why would you spend a lot of money to buy it? How rich are you? Besides, you are a disciple who has just established the foundation, where can you get so many spiritual stones?
However, Lei Wanhe was attracted by the elixir and didn't pay any attention to what Han Li said.
When one reaches the Golden Elixir realm, the spiritual energy and true essence in the Dantian are as real as substance, and it is extremely difficult to advance through simple meditation. Not to mention forming a fetus, even advancing one small level is extremely difficult.
At this time, you need the help of external objects such as elixirs!
