Han Li pondered for a moment and waved his hand.
With a whoosh, the rest of the Lightning-Capture Wood and some lightning-type spiritual materials appeared on the empty ground in front of him …
One month later.
In the main hall of the residence, Han Li sat by the table and tasted a cup of spiritual tea in his hand. His eyes flickered as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, Meng Qianqian walked in.
"Elder Li."
"Qianqian, I called you here because I need you to do something important," Han Li put down his teacup and said with a serious expression.
Meng Qianqian was startled, then she puffed up her chest and said, "Please give me your orders, Elder Li."
"It's not that serious," Han Li smiled and took out a storage device and handed it to Meng Qianqian.
She took it and sent her divine sense into it. Then, she looked up at Han Li and a trace of doubt flashed across her beautiful eyes.
Han Li's lips moved slightly and he said something through telepathy.
Meng Qianqian was startled at first, then a trace of seriousness flashed across her face.
"Is there any difficulty?" Han Li asked.
"Rest assured, Elder Li, I will do it for you even if I have to sacrifice my life," Meng Qianqian nodded.
"Very well.
But be careful and don't let anyone else know, "Han Li ordered.
"Yes," Meng Qianqian bowed at Han Li, her eyes were filled with reluctance but she still turned around and left.
After a while, a red light flew into the distance.
Han Li stood at the entrance of the residence and watched the red light disappear into the distance. Then, he turned into a green light and flew back to the sect.
Two months later, he returned to the Crimson Afterglow Peak.
During this period, he exchanged most of the spiritual herbs and spiritual treasures that he had obtained from the Sacred Puppet Sect for Immortal Meta Stones. Then, he purchased a large amount of materials to refine elixirs that he would need for his future cultivation.
After everything was ready, he once again entered the cave residence, and after activating all the restrictions, he walked towards the secret room.
Halfway through his journey, his heart stirred. He turned around and arrived at the medicine garden, stopping in front of a corner.
This was where the mother beans had been planted. Now, the tender shoots had grown a few inches taller than before.
Han Li was slightly surprised to see this.
It took a hundred years for the female bean to germinate, but after it germinated, its growth rate seemed to be much faster than before.
As the tender green sprout spread out, the dark golden patterns on its surface deepened.
However, Hu Yan I couldn't tell if this was a good or bad situation. He hoped that it would change in the right direction.
No matter what, the encounter with the Dao soldiers in the Sacred Puppet Sect had given him a lot of expectations for his Mother Bean.
At the thought of this, Han Li took out the Sky Bottle and handed it to the ape-shaped puppet that was waiting nearby. After that, he did not stay in the herb garden for long and quickly returned to the secret chamber.
At this point, most of the trivial matters had been dealt with.
After letting out a light breath, he flipped his hand and took out the silver pill furnace and placed it in the middle of the secret chamber. Then, he waved his sleeve and a ball of silver light flashed. The Silver Flame Dwarf appeared and landed near the pill furnace.
After devouring the Nascent Soul of the Black Crane and fusing with it, the Essence Flame Firebird's aura had clearly become stronger than before. Compared to before, the expression on its face had also become a little less dull and a little more quick-witted.
As if he knew why Han Li had summoned him, he quickly circled around the pill cauldron once before his round face suddenly puffed up and a thick burst of silver flames erupted from his mouth, enveloping the bottom of the pill cauldron.
At this time, Han Li also divided the pill refining materials that he had prepared previously into several portions and placed them at the side. Then, he sat down with his legs crossed.
…
A few years later.
As the silver flame at the bottom of the furnace extinguished, the Silver Flame Dwarf flew to Han Li's shoulder and sat down obediently.
Han Li waved his hand with a tired look on his face.
With a soft sound, the silver furnace lid flew up, and a rich medicinal fragrance immediately came out of the furnace and filled the entire secret chamber.
After sniffing a few times, a pleased look appeared on Han Li's face. He made a grabbing motion through the air, and a dozen or so white pills flew out from within. Each and every one of them was around the size of a longan fruit, and they were completely pristine white with white mist emanating from their surfaces. They appeared to be quite extraordinary.
The white pills then fell into a white jade bottle that had been prepared long ago.
There were already more than a hundred of such jade bottles beside Han Li.
"It seems to be about time."
After Han Li muttered to himself, he waved his hand and kept the silver pill furnace and the Silver Flame Dwarf. He then closed his eyes and adjusted his breath.
He was going to adjust his body and spiritual power to the best state before he began to cultivate in seclusion.
Time flew by, and it was already more than 200 years later.
During this period, the closed door of the cave residence on the Crimson Afterglow Peak had never been opened again.
And the Candle Dragon Path also ushered in the biggest snowfall in nearly 500 years, which lasted for several months.
Not only were all the mountain ranges on the northern side of the Zhong Ming Mountain Range covered in snow that stretched for thousands of miles, even the mountain ranges on the southern side had more than half of them covered in snow.
The Crimson Afterglow Peak was also wrapped in silver, and it was covered with snow everywhere.
On this day, the snowfall finally stopped, and the sky was clear. Several servants of Han Li's cave residence were also under the leadership of the round-faced fatty, Meng Xiong, to clean up the snow around the cave residence.
There were already few people on the Crimson Afterglow Peak, and Meng Yungui and the others had not returned. Especially without Meng Qianqian, the mountain seemed to be more or less deserted. Even the chirping of the birds was particularly clear and pleasant.
After everyone cleared the snow outside the residence, they rushed to the spiritual medicine field. Although there was a Restrictive Formation protecting the field, they still needed to clear the snow to prevent a large amount of water from being left behind after the snow melted, which would affect the growth of the spiritual medicine.
At this moment, the entire Crimson Afterglow Peak shook, and a huge golden pillar of light shot up from the location of the cave residence, shooting straight into the sky. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within thousands of miles fluctuated violently, forming a huge spiritual cloud that revolved around the Crimson Afterglow Peak, making a loud shrill sound.
Colorful spiritual light shone down, covering the entire Crimson Afterglow Peak.
The huge phenomenon lasted for a long time before it slowly dissipated.
"Alright, alright, let's all get to work. Finish this quickly and go back to cultivate!
Elder Li has given us such a good cultivation environment, don't waste it! "Meng Xiong saw that the others were a little stunned, and quickly called out.
When the others heard this, they did not look too much, and continued to rush to the surrounding spiritual fields and other places.
In fact, they were already used to these strange phenomena on the mountain, knowing that it was caused by "Elder Li" in seclusion. But every time there was a strange phenomenon, they could not help but want to take a few more glances.
After all, this was a phenomenon caused by a True Immortal's cultivation.
In the secret room of the cave residence.
Han Li's body was enveloped in a faint golden light, and light flowed in his eyes. The 24 golden light spots on his chest and abdomen shone brightly, like the stars in the night sky, flickering incessantly.
A huge pressure was emitted from his body, and his every movement was completely different from before, as if he had become a different person.
At this moment, he had impressively become a late-stage True Immortal cultivator.
In the past 200 years, he had continuously taken Earth-grade pills that could increase cultivation, and after cultivating day and night, he finally opened the remaining four Immortal Apertures.
This kind of cultivation speed was naturally much faster than that of ordinary cultivators, but the effect was obviously much slower than before.
After all, it had only taken him a full 100 years to open the first three Immortal Apertures, but the time spent on the last one was much longer than all of them combined.
When the golden light on his body gradually faded and fused into his body, all the strange phenomena in the secret room disappeared.
After Han Li let out a long sigh of relief, he turned around and looked at the faint golden wheel floating leisurely above him.
He saw that the eyelids of the Eye of Truth were closed, and the lumps of time dao patterns on the wheel were all flowing with light. They had all been restored to their original state.
"Sure enough, it's still the same." Han Li shook his head and murmured.
The time dao patterns on the Truth Treasure Wheel were still 108 lumps. When he opened the last four Immortal Apertures, the time dao patterns on the treasure wheel still did not increase.
This was obviously not due to his bad luck. According to the ancient book, even if the probability was normal, opening these four Immortal Apertures should have condensed two more time dao patterns.
According to his guess, it might be because the time dao patterns condensed through the small bottle of crystal particles through the Eye of Truth were too much, and it exceeded the tolerance of the Truth Treasure Wheel.
After thinking for a while, he no longer bothered about this. After all, he was already mentally prepared for this.
Feeling the much deeper immortal spiritual power in his body, the corner of his mouth slightly curled up.
Han Li did not get up immediately, but continued to sit cross-legged on the ground.
It was gratifying that his cultivation had improved greatly, but he had more important things to do now.
He flipped his palm, and a grey stone bead appeared in his palm. It was the eye of the one-eyed giant.
At the same time, a series of dull footsteps came from outside. The figure of the giant ape puppet walked in and placed the Sky Bottle beside him. A drop of green liquid had already condensed in the bottle.
Han Li took a deep breath, picked up the Sky Bottle, and drank the green liquid without hesitation.
He wanted to try to comprehend the law of time again!
The immortal spiritual power in Han Li's body began to circulate silently. The golden light on the Truth Treasure Wheel behind him shone brightly and began to rotate slowly. The 108 lumps of time dao patterns inscribed on it also flickered.
Around it, a golden ripple rippled and shrouded the entire secret room. An indescribable fluctuation of heaven and earth essence qi spread.
Han Li only felt that the flow of the surrounding air seemed to have slowed down. There was the sound of wind whistling in his ears, the sound of dust falling, the flickering of fire, and the fluttering of hair …
All of this seemed to have fallen into a mysterious and special rhythm. It was indescribably wonderful.
Time slowly passed by, and the golden light around Han Li's body flashed incessantly, illuminating the entire secret chamber with alternating light and darkness.
