The Heavens: From Knowing Whether You Rule the World

Chapter 148 Second meeting with Han Li!

Hundred Herbs Garden

Han Li stared at the sky, rarely practicing.

He, who had always been focused on seeking immortality, felt a little upset.

After looking at the sky for a while, he seemed a little unwilling to give up. He took out a jade slip from his storage bag and read it word by word.

It was a jade slip that copied the method of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The more I look at it, the more upset I feel.

Chalcedony, purple monkey flower, and heavenly fruit!

These three are the main ingredients for refining the foundation-building pill.

He has read these words more than ten times, but even if he read them a hundred or a thousand times, they would still be these three elixirs.

He was really unwilling to give up, so he took a few steps slowly, his eyes wandering and he seemed a little undecided.

Do we really have to go to the "Bloody Forbidden Land"?
Even though he was always calm, he was a little nervous at this moment and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

In the Bloody Trial, only one out of four will survive, and the probability of dying is too high.

Today, he is no longer a master. Even among the low-level disciples of Huangfeng Valley, he is only at an average level.

With neither profound magical powers nor powerful spells, his only reliance may be a few magical weapons of decent quality and a decent brain.

However, relying solely on these, Han Li was not very confident that he would be among the one in a quarter who could walk out of the Blood Forbidden Land alive.

Han Li sighed deeply. It was said that these three main herbs were transformed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They had no seeds at all, and their growth requirements were special. No one planted them on purpose, and the seedlings could only survive in the Blood Forbidden Land.

So, even if he had a magical item like the little green bottle, how could he make it grow without even seedlings or seeds?

going or not?
Han Li was silent for a while. There had been rumors that the Bloody Trial was held every five years, but there had been some exceptions in recent years.

The Seven Sects of Yue State over-harvested the spiritual herbs in the Blood Forbidden Land, causing the age of the spiritual herbs to become lower and lower.

For the sake of long-term development, two large-scale blood trials will be held, and the blood forbidden land will be closed for sixty years immediately afterwards to allow the spiritual herbs and medicines to recuperate and develop better.

In other words, if he doesn't go this time and doesn't go next time, he will become old and turn into a handful of earth in the future.

Should I live in mediocrity for another sixty years, or take a chance and seek immortality?

Han Li clenched his fists tightly, and the unwillingness in his heart gradually took over.

He was originally a farmer's family. He used his connections to join the Qixuan Sect, but was framed by Doctor Mo.

He was already in a situation where he was doomed to die, but unexpectedly, heaven blessed him and an immortal descended from the sky, granting him a unique method that allowed him to escape.

Afterwards, he struggled hard, with a desire to seek immortality and the way of Tao, relying on the small green bottle to move forward, and now he has reached the eleventh level of Qi Refining.

If you go higher, you will become a master of foundation building, with a lifespan of over two hundred years.

But if you want to build a foundation, you must take the foundation-building pill.

To refine the foundation-building pill, the three main ingredients are hurdles that cannot be avoided.

The bloody forbidden land is an obstacle that cannot be avoided.

There is no way back!

Han Li sighed deeply, and suddenly thought of Senior Chu who guided him on the path of cultivating immortals, and couldn't help feeling a little envious.

The further he got on the path of cultivating immortals, the more he yearned for the freedom and ease of Senior Chu.

Although I have never embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, I regard it as meeting an immortal.

To embark on the path of cultivating immortals is like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.

Cultivating immortality is difficult!
As if stimulated, Han Li's turbulent heart calmed down slightly and he made a decision.

Are you going or not? Yes!
If you retreat, you will live a mediocre life; if you move forward, you will become a master!
He will never be willing to live a mediocre life!
He really wants to improve!
Han Li took a deep breath and walked to an extremely remote corner.

There, there are two thousand-year-old magical herbs.

Now that you have made up your mind, make preparations early.

The Bloody Trial still has some time to go, and he must make good use of this time to increase his chances of survival.

These two thousand-year-old elixirs will surely bring a small surprise to the Huangfeng Valley Market.

Huangfeng Valley, market town.

The seven factions of Yue State all had markets.

Huangfeng Valley is right next to Yuanwu Kingdom. The cultivators of Yuanwu Kingdom and Yue Kingdom are not hostile to each other. However, there are quite a few Yuanwu cultivators in the market town.

The Yuanwu Kingdom has many special products that the Yue Kingdom does not have, which has attracted many independent cultivators and people from immortal cultivation families. As a result, the Huangfeng Valley Market has also prospered and is the largest of the seven sects' markets.

Han Li quietly put on a green cloak, walked into the market from a road with little traffic, and strolled around slowly.

In a market street, there are both small vendors and storefronts.

Most of the small vendors are independent cultivators or people from Yuanwu Country who are temporarily selling things, while the large shops are the assets on the books of the immortal cultivation families and Huangfeng Valley.

Han Li walked around slowly, planning to look at the small vendors to see if he could find a bargain.

After taking a few steps, Han Li looked towards the big shops.

He admitted that he was a little naive.

It was unlikely that a small bullet vendor had what he wanted, and he was not likely to sell him a thousand-year-old elixir.

"Qiqiao Pavilion"

"Tiangong Building"

"Wanbao Tower"

Han Li kept walking forward, quietly memorizing the sizes of the major shops in the market.

He has never lacked thousand-year-old elixirs, so he is not particularly clear about their quality or price.

But, it must be expensive.

To be safe, both parties made a deal, settled the money and goods, and then ran away quietly.

For this kind of stuff, you must go to a regular large store to avoid being robbed by cheaters.

After shopping around, he walked towards the largest and most imposing shop - Wanbaolou.

As soon as he walked in, Han Li was stunned.

Rich, really too rich.

The hall was big enough to accommodate dozens of people for discussion. There was a wooden platform made of precious spiritual wood, neatly dressed Qi-refining period attendants, and all kinds of talismans and magical instruments.
Han Li took a deep breath and realized that he had come to the right place.

At this time, a servant in green clothes came forward, smiling, "Sir, is there anything you like? Would you like me to find it for you?"

"Talismans and instruments, the best ones."

Han Li covered himself with a cloak and spoke calmly.

The attendant looked at Han Li's aura with a smile, and then invited him to the VIP room on the second floor.

Compared with the first floor, the second floor is antique, elegantly decorated, comfortable and cozy. The curling agarwood burns slowly, and the faint sandalwood scent makes people feel refreshed.

Han Li looked forward and walked slowly forward.

A gentle middle-aged man was slightly hunched over with his head lowered. He had some spiritual materials in his hands and introduced them in detail. It was obvious that he was the shopkeeper.

A young man in a blue shirt was holding a cup of fragrant tea and sitting quietly sipping it.

This. Senior Chu?
Han Li was startled, then he looked carefully and was shocked.

He didn't see the young man clearly.

But, just the clothes and aura are already 70% similar.

They looked 70% similar, but that made him confused.

"Sir, please go to the first floor and wait. I will definitely make time to receive you later."

Tian Buli looked a little flustered, and stepped forward to give advice. He seemed gentle, but in fact, there was a rare hint of unquestionable air in him.

If it weren't for that person's presence, he would have scolded him long ago.

Han Li's mind was suddenly moved and he was a little at a loss.

The aura of this young man is too similar to that of Senior Chu; even the rosary in his hand is exactly the same.

He didn't know whether to go up and take a look.

If I come forward and recognize someone with a cloak on?
At this time, the young man stood up slightly, looked at Han Li and laughed, "It's been a few years since we last met, and you have grown a lot, my friend."

Han Li was shocked and bowed deeply, "Senior Chu." As soon as these words came out, Tian Buli's action of admonishing him paused, and he took two steps to the side, bowing his head slightly.

If that young man is not Chu Hong, then who is he?

Chu Hong glanced sideways slightly. This was really an accidental encounter and it was not something he did on purpose.

He came to Wanbao Tower for two reasons: first, to sell the primary and a small number of intermediate talismans that had accumulated over the years at high prices; second, to buy some things for refining formations.

Low-level and most of the mid-level talismans are of no use to him, so it is better to sell them at a high price and get some spirit stones.

Talismans made by masters basically cost at least thirty or forty low-grade spirit stones for entry-level low-grade ones, one hundred for entry-level mid-grade ones, and three hundred for entry-level high-grade ones.

Compared with the talismans made by ordinary talisman masters, the talismans made by masters are basically six to ten times more expensive.

This is still a basic talisman, not to mention some intermediate talismans.

Even if it was sold at a friendly price, it would not be a problem for Chu Hong to sell the talismans he had refined in the past few years for more than 200,000 spirit stones.

This time, he came to get some spirit stones.

More than 200,000 low-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to about 2,000 medium-grade spirit stones, is indeed a considerable number. Tian Buli basically spent the whole morning doing these things.

Well, it can’t be said to be a sale, it’s half sale and half loan.

The liquid capital is more than 200,000 spirit stones, which is basically the wealth accumulated by a Jindan cultivator for hundreds of years. It is indeed difficult to gather it in a short time.

In the morning, Tian Buli collected nearly 30,000 low-grade spirit stones from various places as a deposit, and temporarily "lent" the rest of the talismans to him, letting him take the lead and have the seven sects of Yue State and all large and small shops share the purchase of these talismans.

When the talismans are almost sold out, Tian Buli can return the remaining money.

Therefore, Chu Hong currently has only 30,000 spirit stones in his hands, and the remaining 170,000 to 180,000 will probably take about three to five days to get.

Well, it is indeed easy to make money if you become the top in any industry.

Chu Hong was not in a hurry either. Generally, no one dared to snatch the spirit stones from the Yuanying old monster.

An old monster in the Nascent Soul stage, unless he is a casual cultivator, will not be short of 170,000 or 180,000 spirit stones.

It just so happens that most of the independent cultivators are in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage and have no foundation, so they dare not provoke a large sect like the Huangfeng Valley which has two Nascent Soul cultivators.

Although the Linghu Patriarch of the Huangfeng Valley looks weak, he is also in the middle Nascent Soul stage after all, and he definitely has the combat power of a normal middle Nascent Soul stage.

If they stir up trouble recklessly and really make someone angry, Chu Hong and Linghu Old Monster will deliberately ambush them and stop them, and the Nascent Soul of the individual cultivator will at least be seriously injured.

not worth it!

This money is very safe.

As for buying some things for refining the formation, they were preparations for going to find Xin Ruyin.

Who would have thought that I would meet Han Li by chance?
The moment Han Li's figure appeared in the market town, he was noticed by Chu Hong's spiritual sense.

Under the coverage of his spiritual sense, he watched Han Li walking around cautiously, and it took him almost two incense sticks of time.

Looking at Han Li who was bowing, Chu Hong smiled, raised his hand slightly, and lifted Han Li up with an immense force.

"It seems that you entered the Yellow Maple Valley to practice by chance?"

"Yes."

Han Li stood up, secretly horrified.

Senior Chu seems like an ordinary person, without any trace of spiritual practice.

Han Li knew that this was due to the huge difference in their cultivation bases.

He couldn't even feel the deep energy or pressure from Senior Chu.

This person must be a Jindan master, right?
Chu Hong nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with a trace of reminiscence, "Looking at you, after struggling for a few years, you have achieved some success!"

Tian Buli was very observant and knew at a glance that the two men might have something to talk about, so he bowed deeply and left.

He worked diligently for half his life, but unexpectedly his luck turned and he was favored by the Nascent Soul Patriarch.

At this moment, Tian Buli was full of enthusiasm and was in high spirits at work.

Han Li's heart was slightly shaken. The term "crawl and roll" was really appropriate!
He started out as a casual cultivator, didn't he work his way up through hard work?
He bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Senior, what you said is very true."

As he spoke, he pulled off his cloak, revealing an ordinary dark face.

Han Li didn't expect to meet a guide so soon. He was shocked, but he didn't know what to say.

The more he practiced, the more he understood the hierarchy in the world of immortal cultivation.

It is a kind of feeling that seems to transcend the secular distinctions of hierarchy in the human world.

In this world, no matter how powerful a person is, he is still a rotten life, and he will vomit blood and die if stabbed with a knife.

It’s different in the world of immortal cultivation. A Jindan cultivator can destroy a Qi Refining cultivator with just a wave of his hand. The gap is simply too huge.

Chu Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, saw Han Li's embarrassment, waved his hand slightly, and took a cup of fragrant tea and put it in his hand.

"The road to immortal cultivation is long and arduous. The last time I met you, you were only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. Five years later, you have already reached the eleventh level of Qi Refining.

With such talent, the cultivation speed is not much slower than that of some cultivators with heavenly spiritual roots. Since he can cultivate to this level, it means he is a blessed person. "

Han Li's hand holding the fragrant tea trembled slightly. He had been feeding himself with medicinal pills while practicing, and had developed drug resistance.

However, judging from the growth of his cultivation alone, he was indeed advancing rapidly.

Little green bottle!
Han Li felt a little guilty and couldn't help but lower his head slightly.

His heart suddenly began to panic. Senior Chu was his guide on the path of cultivation, but they had only met once. What if this person wanted to spy on his secrets?
He subconsciously thought that he should not treat his benefactor in this way, but Dr. Mo's incident made him see an extremely cruel world.

It's always a good idea to be more careful.

To be honest, Han Li's acting skills are not that good.

At least, the current acting is not that hard.

Chu Hong saw through his thoughts and shook his head slightly. "Who doesn't have opportunities? Anyone who has cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage or above has great opportunities. You don't have to panic, my friend. I don't have the habit of prying into other people's secrets."

As soon as these words were spoken, Han Li immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt at peace.

He didn't know how high Senior Chu's cultivation level was, but it must be easy for him to control him with one hand.

Chu Hong laughed, his expression full of kindness, "Who would have thought that you and I would have the fate to meet again?"

"I rely a lot on the seniors who guided me to the path of immortality."

Han Li meant this sincerely.

If he hadn't had Senior Chu's guidance and the two books that Senior Chu gave him, he probably wouldn't have known about the secret gathering of immortal cultivators like the Tainan Small Meeting, and there would have been no such thing as entering the world of immortal cultivators.

Chu Hong nodded slightly, his eyes full of relief and a hint of pride as a guide, which was just captured by Han Li.

Han Li's heart was completely at peace. He knew why Senior Chu was like this. It was because of a sense of accomplishment.

Chu Hong slowly walked to the window and looked into the distance.

"Did Master lead me in the same way back then?"

He sighed, his expression full of reminiscence and a hint of sadness.

Han Li bowed slightly, not knowing what to say.

As soon as we saw this, we knew that Senior Chu remembered his master, and there was a high probability that this guide had passed away.

"If the four spiritual roots have that technique, it shouldn't be impossible to form a pill, right?"

He seemed to have made up his mind.

"Well, if you have the ability to build a foundation and are interested in becoming my disciple, you can come to Qifeng Mountain to find me. I will accept you as my registered disciple."

As he spoke, a stack of primary-level talismans fell into Han Li's hands. A green light flashed, and the figure disappeared.

Han Li was stunned. Qifeng Mountain?
Qifeng Mountain!
Han Li's heart was shaken so much that his body couldn't stop shaking slightly.

Senior Chu!
If I remember correctly, the guy from Qifeng Mountain also has the surname Chu, right?

Could it be?

When this thought comes to mind, it is like a flood that is out of control and can never be calmed down.

Even if he is just a registered disciple, he is still a registered disciple of the Yuanying old monster!
Moreover, he has no apprentice so far!

He knelt down hurriedly and kowtowed nine times.

A pure voice that was both firm and excited.

"Senior Chu, I can definitely build my foundation."

"Certainly possible."
