After Han Li entered the middle stage of alchemy, he retreated in a secret room for more than 20 years before leaving. During this period, he did not take all the medicine, and a small part remained in the storage bag.
It's not that he couldn't stand the loneliness and was eager to get out the pills before they were all refined, but that he finally encountered a bottleneck in his practice when he was close to the late stage of alchemy. If you don't break through this shackle, no matter how many spirit pills you take, it will be difficult to improve your cultivation.
The way to break through the bottleneck depends on personal luck and the characteristics of the exercises, basically there is no law at all. However, some monks who have reached this stage in the past made breakthroughs on their own during Qi training and meditation, some experienced breakthroughs while visiting mountains and rivers, and some accidentally broke through in the battle between life and death.
As a result, Han Li naturally didn't want to waste time in the retreat room, and was going to go out to find the rumored Companion Demon Grass. And see if you can break through the bottleneck by coincidence during the time of going out.
Because he didn't know how long it would take to gain something, Han Li naturally didn't dare to keep the Jiuqu Linggin in the mansion for a long time. Therefore, the cave on this small island in the sea of mist is also planned to be abandoned.
As for the Jiuquling Ginseng, it must be recuperated with the energy of earth and stone every once in a while. This is indeed a bit troublesome before Han Lixiu has entered the middle stage of alchemy. But now after entering the middle stage of alchemy, there is no need to worry about the future. Han Li already has the ability to extract the essence of the earth and rocks on the island and inject it into the spirit ginseng itself to ensure its safety.
The direction that Han Lifei is escaping now is exactly the Fangshi that the girl said. Only in such a place where monks come and go frequently can Han Li have the opportunity to get news of the eighth-level monsters. At that time, I will think of another way to see if I can get the companion demon grass. As for being able to purchase this spirit grass directly from the market place, Han Li never thought that there would be such a good thing waiting for him.
Han Li escaped light at an extremely fast speed. Although the girl said that it would take half a month to get to the small island with the market place, but for him, it would take a few days with all his strength.
Two days later, when Han Li was rushing on the sea with all his strength, a red light suddenly flew obliquely in the distance, and there were several groups of gray and white qi behind him chasing wildly.
Seeing this situation, Han Li raised his eyebrows inadvertently. Then with a thought in his mind, a low inaudible incantation came out of his mouth. Then there was a slight cracking sound from his body, the sound was rapid and dense, and at the same time, a cloud of blue light appeared on his face.
After a while, Han Li's figure suddenly rose a few inches, and the blue light scattered, revealing a yellowish and unfamiliar face.
This is exactly the "Shape Changing Jue", one of the secret techniques of the Xuanyin Meridian deliberately practiced by Han Li during his retreat. This secret technique can not only lengthen and shorten various parts of the body arbitrarily, but also control the relaxation of muscles and instantly change the color of the skin.
According to Han Li's estimation, this kind of cultivation technique is absolutely no less than the other rumored secret disguise techniques. Even facing monks whose spiritual consciousness is higher than yours, it will not be easy to see through, so it was included in Xuanyin in the scriptures.
The only shortcoming of this secret technique is that once it is used, only 70% of the mana in the body can be used at most. Once more than 70% of the mana is used to fight with people, the miraculous effect of the "Shape Changing Tactic" will disappear, and people will return to their original appearance.
However, Han Li didn't care about this. Once he decided to conceal his identity, he probably didn't want to show his true strength, and the restriction of his cultivation didn't have a big impact on him.
Just after Han Li changed his face, the red light also spotted Han Li's location, and rushed towards him as if grasping at a straw.
Seeing this scene, Han Li simply stopped his escape, and sighed lightly on the spot. It's not because trouble came to him and made him sigh, but because Han Li felt that the fleeing person, no matter whether he, a passer-by, had the ability to save him, would first have the idea of dragging him into the water, and went to this place without hesitation. Coming from the side, it seems that the xinxing is really not very good.
As for those clusters of gray-white air in the back, they are clearly a few monsters between the third and fourth ranks.
This made Han Li, who was deeply moved by Gongsun Xing's filial piety just now, suddenly feel that human nature is really an extremely complicated issue.
It is really impossible to generalize!
"Fellow daoist, help me! I will definitely thank fellow daoist Huang Mingli!" In the red light, there was a skinny old man with wicked eyebrows. Before he flew in front of Han Li, he shouted for help with a face full of panic.
He was also clever. Although he hadn't seen Han Li's cultivation clearly, seeing the other party's stable appearance, he immediately knew that his life might be saved.
Han Li's expression remained normal. Seeing the old man flying in front of him, he lazily raised his hand, and five light blue sword glows came out of his hand, immediately stopped the five monsters behind them, and fought together.
Seeing this, the old man let out a long sigh of relief, and also released a magic ring of fire to attack the five monsters together.
Han Li glanced sideways at the old man. This person's cultivation was close to the stage of alchemy. No wonder he was able to escape with his life under the siege of so many third- and fourth-tier monsters.
After turning his head, Han Li commanded a few waves of sword energy to slowly trap the monsters, but he was not in a hurry to slam down his hands to expose his cultivation. But even so, the little old man on the side cheered up and drove the fire attribute magic weapon to beat the dog in the water hard.
After a while, Han Li felt that the time was almost up, so he swung the Qingyuan sword light and killed the monsters one by one.
"Thank you, senior, for your help! Senior, are you going to Nanli Island Fang City?" The little old man didn't need to check Han Li's cultivation level at this time, but he knew that the other party must be a monk in the alchemy stage, so he respectfully went up Salute before him, and asked with a smile.
"That's right, I want to go to Fangshi to exchange some things." Han Li nodded calmly.
"Senior, you don't need to go anymore, it's just a waste of time to go." Huang Mingli blinked his small eyes a few times, and suddenly said with a wry smile.
"What's going on?" Han Li asked with a look of surprise.
"A few days ago, Fangshi in Nanli Island was accidentally discovered by some low-level monsters. Although most of the monsters were killed on the spot, the monsters that fled the next day attracted a large number of fourth- and fifth-level monsters. Monster beasts. The cultivators in the market suffered a lot of injuries, so they had to split up to break through. I am one of them. But I didn't expect to bump into this group of monsters on the way." Han Li In front of Brother Jiedan, the little old man carefully preached.
"According to this, I really came here for nothing?" Han Li frowned, his expression darkened.
"Well... if senior really wants to buy or sell something, I can introduce another place. The things there are definitely treasures, and only monks above the foundation stage can enter. However, this market must be recommended by acquaintances to enter. Moreover, the location of the market place changes frequently. The old man is not talented, but he is qualified to be recommended. If the senior wants to go, the junior can lead the way, and it is only to repay the senior for saving his life." Huang Mingli rolled his eyes slightly, and grinned With yellow teeth on his mouth, he said with a mysterious face.
"There is such a place, are you talking about the secret city?" Han Li said thoughtfully after being stunned for a moment.
"Senior laughed at me. There is no such thing as a secret market in the current market. You have to work hard. After being discovered by monsters, there is only one end." The little old man hurriedly explained with a bit of embarrassment. .
"That's true!" Han Li couldn't help laughing dumbfounded after hearing this, and then asked, "How far is the place you mentioned from here?"
"Starting from here, if we drive more frequently, we will arrive in about half a month. The market will just open." Huang Mingli seemed to be very familiar with this secret market, and replied without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll let you go and have a look." Han Li thought for a while and had no choice but to agree.
"That's great, hey! Wait a moment, senior!" Huang Mingli showed excitement and didn't lead the way right away. Instead, he blinked his eyelids and suddenly remembered something.
He hurriedly apologized, but he rushed down suddenly, heading straight for the corpses of several monsters floating on the sea.
When Han Li saw this scene, he was startled for a moment, and then he smiled faintly knowing what the other person was thinking.
After a while. The little old man dismembered several monsters skillfully, put them into his storage bags, and then happily flew back into the air.
"I made senior laugh. Of course, these monsters are not in the eyes of seniors, but for juniors, they are a big income!" Huang Mingli said a little embarrassed. After all, these five monsters were all beheaded by Han Li just now.
"It's nothing, I don't like these monsters either. Hurry up and get on the road!" Han Li shook his head lightly, urging him without changing his expression.
