Chapter 631

Around 15 minutes later, a dull thump rang out, and the entire purple bamboo forest tremored slightly.

The entire Purple Bamboo Forest shook slightly, and the faint purple light on the surface began to recede from the top of the building. Then, like a receding tide, it receded from all directions all the way to the ground, and then disappeared.

Only then did Daoist Xie stop his hand seal and open his eyes.

"Let's go up and have a look."

Han Li and Daoist Xie strode up the steps in front of the bamboo building as Han Li spoke, then raised a hand to push open the bamboo doors.

As soon as he entered the bamboo building, a cool and comfortable feeling immediately surged over from all directions, causing his spirit to be slightly refreshed, and his limbs and bones to feel extremely comfortable.

"This building is able to draw upon the Purple Golden Lotus in the lake to gather the surrounding spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, thereby transforming this place into a small paradise with even more abundant spiritual Qi; I must say that I'm in awe of the creator of this place," Daoist Xie praised.

"This building is able to gather spiritual Qi, but it won't trap it, so the flow of spiritual Qi of heaven and earth within this grotto-heaven won't be affected.

On top of that, the spiritual Qi that escapes from this place will feed back to the surrounding bamboo forest, making this the area with the most abundant spiritual Qi in the entire grotto-heaven, so it would be perfect to develop this place into a spirit medicine garden, "Han Li said with a nod.

Daoist Xie merely nodded in response.

The furnishings on the first floor of the Purple Bamboo Building were very simple. There was an old painting hanging in the main hall. On it was a big "Zen" character written in thick ink. The handwriting was crooked, not like writing, but like a painting. It vaguely outlined the silhouette of a fat man in a long robe, holding a staff, and bare-chested.

Beneath the scroll was a futon woven from hemp, which had been severely damaged, and seemed to have been used quite often.

There was a side room on the left of the main hall, within which was a long purple bamboo bed. On top of the bed was a small square table, upon which sat an extinguished oil lamp, as well as a pair of black teapots and teacups.

On the opposite right was a folding staircase that led to the second floor of the pavilion.

On the second floor of the pavilion, Han Li and Daoist Xie found three storage cabinets, all of which had been sealed using secret techniques.

The two of them were pleasantly surprised after they solved the puzzle one by one.

The first cabinet was filled with a large number of elixirs and spiritual materials, including some Fire Pattern Lingzhi and Chalcedony Sealwort that were hundreds of thousands of years old. There were also a large number of Heavenly River Star Sand, Icy Soul Cold Crystals, and Nine Sun Flint.

These were only the materials that Han Li was able to recognize. There were even more materials that he'd never heard of or seen before. Presumably, they were materials required to refine some high-grade medicinal pills and Magic Treasures.

Han Li did not stand on ceremony. He swept up all the materials and put them all into his storage bracelet.

In the second cabinet, they found more than ten secret manuals of cultivation methods. Only a few of them were high-level cultivation methods suitable for human cultivators. Most of them were for the Demon Clan and other alien races.

After skimming through it, Han Li didn't bother to read through it any further. The time cultivation arts and the Spirit Refinement Technique that he was currently cultivating were already enough to keep him busy, so he really didn't have the time to study other cultivation arts.

Daoist Xie picked out a cultivation method known as the Lightning Sect Technique and asked Han Li to give it to him. Han Li naturally wasn't going to refuse.

After stowing away these cultivation methods, Han Li opened the third cabinet. As expected, it was filled with some magic treasures and immortal tools. All of them were brimming with spiritual Qi, but they were all damaged to some extent.

There was a dazzling longsword among them. The material used to be excellent, and it was most likely a powerful acquired immortal tool. However, there was a long and narrow crack that extended from the middle of the sword all the way to the tip, greatly reducing its value. Han Li couldn't help but mutter, "What a pity..."

The Greater Rat True Spirit's physical body was strong enough to take on an Immortal Artifact, so it probably did not care to use Immortal Artifacts. The items in this cabinet were probably its spoils of war.

At the bottom of the cabinet, Han Li found a grey storage pouch. After refining it, he opened it to find dozens of translucent crystals that contained extremely pure immortal spiritual Qi. They were dozens of mid-grade Immortal Essence Stones.

"There are so many mid-grade Immortal Essence Stones? They're very rare. I've only seen them a few times in the Northern Frost Celestial Realm," Han Li said with surprise.

"Mid-grade Immortal Essence Stones are far more difficult to refine than ordinary Immortal Essence Stones, so they're not something that ordinary cultivators can possess.

There are only a few Primordial Unity Jade Immortals in the Northern Frost Celestial Realm, so it's rare to see them, "Daoist Xie said.

"I'm afraid only some large sects in the Black Mountain Celestial Realm have some, let alone the Northern Frost Celestial Realm. They hide them like treasures and don't take them out easily," Han Li said with a nod.

After that, Han Li inspected the entire bamboo building from top to bottom, and after making sure he didn't miss anything, he brought Daoist Xie back to the Purple Bamboo Forest.

With a wave of his hand, a hazy azure light flashed, and a dozen or so giant ape puppets appeared.

Under Han Li's command, these puppets went into the forest to cut down purple bamboos, some went into the forest to cut down trees, and some dug up stones from the ground. Not long after, they had cleared out a large open space.

These puppets used the chopped trees and bamboos to make a fence around the open space, and Han Li began to set up a restriction formation around the fence.

He set up a simple formation that absorbed the spirit Qi around the Purple Bamboo Pavilion, so he was able to quickly set up a restriction formation.

After that, he waved a hand and took out two barrels of spirit liquid that he had prepared before, and he handed them to the two giant ape puppets so that they could gradually irrigate the herb garden.

"It'll take another hundred years for the soil to absorb the spirit liquid and turn it into a spirit field suitable for the growth of herbs, so let's not waste any more time here," Han Li said as he glanced at the puppets in the herb garden.

With that said, his mind moved and he raised his hand to form a seal.

The silver door of light that had been floating outside the forest suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air.

As the connection point between two spaces, it couldn't be closed when its owner was inside the grotto-heaven treasure. Han Li didn't pay attention to it when he entered the Fish Branch grotto-heaven with Master Jing Yang, and he only noticed it when he entered the Flower Branch grotto-heaven.

Furthermore, he could open the light gate anywhere in the grotto-heaven if he wanted to.

After that, he and Daoist Xie stepped into the light gate and returned to the cave abode together.

Within the secret chamber, Han Li held onto the piece of jade bone again, and when he turned around, the silver light gate had already disappeared.

He lowered his head and looked at the Heavenly Abode treasure named "Flower Branch". He raised his eyebrows slightly and revealed a trace of joy.

"I'm very interested in that Lightning Sect technique, so I'll be going back to study it," Daoist Xie said with a calm expression.

"Alright," Han Li replied with a nod.

After Daoist Xie returned to his secret chamber, Han Li also returned to his secret chamber and sat down with his legs crossed.

He held the piece of jade bone in his hand and gently stroked it as he thought about a cultivation method that he hadn't cultivated in a very long time: the Hundred Meridian Refinement Mantra.

The piece of jade bone that had transformed into the giant rat's tailbone was slightly too large, and it would be very inconvenient to make it into a pendant or a necklace. Due to the massive space within it, Han Li didn't dare to put it into his storage bracelet.

After a brief moment of contemplation, an idea suddenly occurred to him.

If that giant rat was able to refine this piece of jade into a piece of its tailbone, then he should be able to do the same. The Hundred Meridian Refinement Mantra that he had cultivated in the past definitely didn't originate from the Hundred Refinement Mountain.

After making up his mind, Han Li immediately went into seclusion to cultivate the Hundred Meridian Refinement Mantra.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and over 30 years passed by.

At the northern foot of the Floating Cloud Mountain Ranges, within an uninhabited forest, a piercing sword projection descended from the sky. It was surrounded by layers of golden lightning, and it dove into the forest like a golden lightning dragon.

"Bang!" A loud sound rang out!

A vast expanse of golden lightning abruptly exploded, transforming into a sea of golden lightning that spread in all directions.

All of the trees in the area that the lightning passed through were instantly pulverized into black powder, and the area within a radius of several tens of kilometers had been reduced to a vast expanse of black, scorched earth.

At the center of the scorched earth, there was a verdant ancient tree that was completely undamaged, and it still stood on the ground. At the top of the ancient tree, there was a green-clothed man standing there, and he had his index and middle fingers together on his right hand as he pointed towards the sky.

This was similar to the "Two-Finger Zen" technique that was practiced in the mortal world.

This man was none other than Han Li.

His two fingers were sparkling and translucent like jade. A silver flower pattern was faintly flashing on the surface of his fingers. Between his two fingers, there was a sharp tip of a long cyan sword. There were traces of golden lightning on the tip of the sword, and it was constantly bouncing and emitting bursts of sizzling sounds.

"I didn't expect that the Heavenly Dwelling Treasure would have such power after being refined into the fingers. It can even block the attack of the Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword so easily. No wonder even Jin Tong couldn't bite through it and swallow it," Han Li said with a smile as he put away the long sword and glanced at the two fingers on his right hand.

Then, a green light flashed on his body, and his figure disappeared into the distance.

Back in the secret chamber of the Wild Crane Valley Cave, Han Li suddenly had a thought. The flower pattern on the two fingers on his right hand flashed, and a silver light burst out from it. Then, it turned into a silver light door that stood in front of him.

Han Li didn't stop. He stepped into the light door, and entered the "Flowery Branch" Heavenly Dwelling.

He didn't fly away directly. Instead, he walked along the white bone path all the way inside.

During this period of time, he had been practicing the Hundred Meridian Treasure Refinement Method in order to integrate the jade bone into his finger bone. Therefore, he hadn't entered the Heavenly Dwelling.

This time, he found that the giant ape puppets that were placed in the Elixir Garden before, after completing the task of watering the spiritual liquid, had actually dispersed into the forest to take care of the elixirs that were originally growing here.

After pondering for a while, Han Li commanded them to collect all the elixirs that he found on the path in the forest and brought them to the Elixir Garden.
