Chapter 629

Han Li looked at the light door in front of him and his eyes narrowed slightly. He followed closely behind Master Jing Yang and stepped into the door.

As soon as he entered the light door, Han Li felt his vision brighten. The next moment, he appeared above a vast body of water, and a breath of fresh air hit his nostrils.

He took a deep breath and felt refreshed.

Then, he calmed himself down and looked around. He discovered that the body of water below was dozens of miles wide, which was equivalent to a small lake.

Further away, there was a mist that led to an unknown place. Perhaps it was the end of the space.

In the middle of the lake, there was a small island in the middle of the lake. There were trees and birds chirping on the island. In the middle of the island, there was an exquisite courtyard with white walls and black tiles.

Han Li and Master Jing Yang floated on the surface of the water and looked down. They saw ripples in the water, and there were fat golden carps swimming in it. From time to time, they would spit out a series of fine bubbles from the bottom of the water. They were extremely happy.

"I didn't expect the spiritual energy to be so abundant in this grotto-heaven …" Han Li couldn't help but exclaim.

"Indeed, it's not any worse than some sects' blessed lands in the Immortal Domain.

Look at this lake, there should be at least two spiritual springs.

The third Mountain Master is indeed as the legends say. A mediocre person like me can't compare to you. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed! "

Master Jing Yang couldn't help but take off the wine pot and gulp down a mouthful of wine. Then, he let out a long breath and said.

"Why do you always talk about legends, Master Jing Yang?

May I know which Mountain Master is in charge of your sect now? "Han Li asked while enjoying the refreshing scenery around him.

"Hehe, the third Mountain Master is indeed a legend. The one in charge of the sect now is the fifth Mountain Master. Time flies, things remain the same, but people have changed," Master Jing Yang said with a sigh.

As the two spoke, they flew close to the surface of the water and arrived at the small island in the middle of the lake.

As soon as they landed on the island, the sound of birds chirping and the fragrance of flowers came from the forest. Han Li and Master Jing Yang walked along the stone path on the island and went deep into the forest. Soon, they arrived in front of the courtyard.

There was a small spirit field to the left of the courtyard, and it was enveloped in a faint purple light barrier. There were immortal medicines and spirit herbs of all shapes and sizes growing within it.

Master Jing Yang's eyes lit up slightly. He stepped forward and waved his palm. In a few moves, he opened the restriction that hadn't been repaired or maintained for many years.

"Fellow Daoist Han Li, you are an Alchemy Master. You should be able to recognize everything here, right?" Venerable Jing Yang looked around and turned back to speak to Han Li.

Han Li walked into the garden and carefully scanned the small spiritual field. His heart skipped a beat.

"I don't know how long this Jade Bone Fish has been sealed away. The spirit herbs in this field are all tens of thousands of years old. Especially the Nine Leaf Dogwood and the Black Fragrant Grass. Their medicinal properties are almost at their peak. It's really rare," said Han Li, pointing at the field.

"Fellow Daoist Li truly has a keen eye.

According to our previous agreement, you can pick one-third of these spirit herbs first.

If you feel that it's not enough, I can sell the rest to you in Immortal Essence Stones. Take it as repayment for what I owe you in advance, "said Master Jing Yang with a laugh.

"Could it be that when Fellow Daoist Jing Yang borrowed money from me, you already thought of using the Heavenly Abode as repayment?

You are indeed a businessman of a sect like Mount Baizao. I really admire your ability to strategize, "praised Han Li as he gave a thumbs up.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you are wrong.

Actually, I didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy this' Fish Branch 'jade bone because of the sect behind it. As for what's inside, it's just like how mortals bet on stones. It's all up to luck. After all, I can't predict whether this thing has passed through other people's hands or not. "Master Jing Yang waved his hand and said.

"Hehe, I can't let Fellow Daoist Jing Yang repay this debt so easily. According to our previous agreement, I will only pick one-third of the spirit herbs.

As for the Immortal Essence Stones that you owe me, Fellow Daoist can slowly repay me in the future, "said Han Li with a smile.

After saying that, he began to pick from the spirit field and put one-third of the spirit herbs into his bag.

On the other side, Master Jing Yang had already opened the restriction on the courtyard's main door. However, he didn't enter alone. Instead, he stood outside the door and enjoyed the scenery while drinking wine. He wasn't in a hurry at all.

After Han Li returned with the spirit herbs, the two of them crossed the threshold and walked into the courtyard.

It was different from the immortal mansions that they usually saw. The layout of this courtyard was closer to that of an ordinary mortal.

About ten steps away from the door, there was a white screen wall with a black and red carp painted on it. Their heads and tails were intertwined, forming a circle of two fish. There was a layer of faintly discernible white and transparent light rippling on it.

A blue light flashed in the depths of Han Li's eyes. He saw a layer of white mist that was difficult to be seen by the naked eye rising up from below the screen wall. There was actually dense spiritual energy gathering and dispersing from this place. He guessed that this place should be the key to the entire grotto-heaven treasure's operation.

After bypassing the screen wall, the two of them arrived at the courtyard of the first courtyard. Looking left and right, they could see that on the corridors on both sides of the courtyard, there were puppets whose spirit cores had been exhausted. They were scattered all over the ground.

Master Jing Yang walked forward and bent down to check for a moment. He shook his head in disappointment.

"Fellow Daoist Jing Yang, what's wrong?" asked Han Li with some doubts.

"These puppets weren't made by the third generation mountain master. I don't know who left them behind.

Although the workmanship is quite mysterious, they are now just a pile of scrap metal. They're useless, "said Master Jing Yang.

"Just like what Fellow Daoist said before, this' fish branch 'has been passed down for many years. The original owner might have changed more than once. How could everything retain its original appearance?" Han Li's gaze swept across these puppets and said with a smile.

"That's true." Master Jing Yang nodded, no longer dwelling on this matter.

The two of them walked along the courtyard's layout and checked every room in the three courtyards. They discovered that the original owner of this grotto-heaven treasure was quite interesting. He was actually very keen on collecting the paintings of the secular world's famous masters.

Many of them were the representative works of artists who were renowned in the secular world. There was also no lack of famous calligraphers among them.

In the main hall, there was a scroll called "Mourning Invitation". It was written by a calligrapher in a small secular country in the Golden Origin Immortal Domain tens of thousands of years ago to pay tribute to his ancestors.

The strokes were light and heavy, full of changes. The ink was dull and dry, and the calligraphy was eclectic. It was like an ink dragon swimming in the air. It looked extremely natural and unrestrained. It even had a hint of the charm of an immortal's talisman.

Although Han Li wasn't an expert in this field, he was quite impressed with the taste of the original owner of this place.

Fortunately, in addition to these secular objects, there was a secret chamber in this grotto-heaven treasure that was specially used to store treasures. There was no lack of immortal magic treasures, elixirs and spiritual materials in it.

After a brief inspection, Han Li discovered that these treasures were all quite high-grade. Most of them were suitable for use by Tai Yi cultivators. Among them, there was a Crimson Feather Fire Fan that was imbued with the power of fire-attribute laws and a wooden ruler that was imbued with the power of time laws.

The former was made from an unknown spirit bird's fire feather. The fire-elemental law contained in it was extremely blazing. With just a slight activation, a blurry flame shadow would shoot out, and it could easily melt an ordinary Gold Immortal Dharma treasure into liquid.

The latter was green in color and its surface was as smooth as jade. It was engraved with densely packed size marks. At the end of its tail was engraved with the words "An inch of time is an inch of gold". It had not been refined and its function could not be determined.

"Fellow Li, didn't you have a special liking for magic treasures that contained the power of the Law of Time during the auction?

Between these two treasures, I think the wooden ruler is more suitable for you. Leave this red-feathered fire fan to me. Although I'm usually a little lazy, I'm still a refiner. This fire fan will be a good helper when I'm refining weapons. "Master Jing Yang's eyes fell on the feather fan. His eyes were filled with unconcealable fondness for it.

"Fellow Li, the Time Teapot has a special function. That's why I was willing to spend so much money to bid for it. Although the grade of this wooden ruler is higher than it, it's of no use to me.

On the other hand, this red-feathered fire fan is also useful when I'm refining pills. "Han Li frowned slightly and revealed an embarrassed look.

When Master Jing Yang heard this, he seemed to be in a dilemma. After hesitating for a while, he opened his mouth and said,

"Fellow Li, as long as you don't choose this fire fan, after you've chosen one-third of the items, you can choose three more items from the remaining items. What do you think?"

Han Li had a hesitant look on his face. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "This … Since that's the case, it's not good for me to forcefully take what you love. Let's do as you say."

Master Jing Yang revealed a happy expression and quickly said, "Thank you, Fellow Li, for your help."

After that, Han Li first put the green wooden ruler into his storage bracelet and then put away all the items that belonged to him.

After doing all this, Master Jing Yang reopened the light door of the Heavenly Abode treasure and the two of them walked out one after another.

After returning to the secret chamber, Master Jing Yang looked up and down at Han Li with a face full of smiles. Suddenly, he said, "Fellow Li, it's rare for us to hit it off so well. I have a presumptuous request. I wonder if I should say it?"

"Could it be that Fellow Jing Yang wants to ask me to go to your Mount Baizao to be a deacon elder?" Han Li asked with a smile.

"Haha … That's right. This is an official invitation.

Fellow Li's skill in alchemy is not shallow. If you join my Mount Baizao, you will be able to achieve great things.

And if our sect can have Fellow Li join us, it will also be a blessing, "Master Jing Yang said with a straight face.

"Could it be that Fellow Li has forgotten?

I'm still troubled by the Evil Decline tribulation. My future is full of dangers and unfathomable. How can I achieve great things? "Han Li said with a wry smile.

"Fellow Li has already obtained the Xuan Zhi Crystal this time. As long as you refine that elixir, it shouldn't be a problem to get rid of the evil aura. At that time, you won't have these troubles …" Master Jing Yang said.

"Then I'll borrow Fellow Li's auspicious words … I'm going to refine elixirs in seclusion for a period of time. I still have a lot of preparatory work to do, so I won't continue to disturb you," Han Li said with a smile.

"Alright.

There are still some loose ends to the auction that I have to deal with. Forgive me for not seeing you out.

When you succeed in refining elixirs and get rid of the evil aura, I'll open a jar of Green Silk Wine to congratulate you, "Master Jing Yang said with a cupped fist salute.

"Farewell." Han Li returned the greeting.

After the two of them parted, Han Li walked out of the courtyard and discovered that the aftermath of the chaos in Jukun City had completely subsided. The city was still bustling with activity.

He didn't stop and went straight out of Jukun City, returning to the Wild Crane Valley of Idle Cloud Mountain.
