Chapter 278 Retreat for a Hundred Years
Time passed, and a year passed in the blink of an eye.
In the secret room, Han Li sat cross-legged, and the wheel of mantra behind him slowly turned, emitting a bright golden glow, and countless golden runes surged rapidly on it.
A group of time dao patterns on the Mantra Treasure Wheel flashed suddenly, and the surrounding golden runes lit up, and all of them gathered and disappeared into the dao patterns.
The dark Time Dao pattern immediately brightened at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a few breaths, it returned to its original bright and agile appearance, but the other Dao patterns were still gray and dark.
Han Li opened his eyes and looked at the group of time dao patterns that had recovered. He couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
These gloomy time patterns can indeed be restored, but judging from the current situation, I am afraid that it will take almost a year for each path pattern on the real wheel to recover.
In other words, it will take at least a hundred years to restore all the one hundred and eight groups of time patterns on the Mantra Treasure Wheel to their original state.
During this period, I am afraid that the cultivation will be greatly affected.
Han Li's eyes flickered, and he quickly shook his head.
It's only a hundred years, and it's gone in a blink of an eye. I can just take advantage of this time to study and comprehend the eight and a half mantras.
For more than a year, he has not found any way, but he believes more and more in his heart that as long as he takes time, he will always understand something.
During this period, the problem of raw materials for refining elixir can also be solved by taking the opportunity.
Thinking so, Han Li waved his hand and took out a jade box, which contained six or seven prescriptions from Pingyaozi last time. Among them, two prescriptions were suitable for the mid-term consumption of real immortals, and one was taken by Pingyaozi himself. Cheng Wan Dan, another name is Yu Heng Dan.
He looked at the ingredients required in the two pill formulas, and found that none of them were very precious and difficult to find, but some elixirs had a very high age requirement.
He had already spent more than half of the immortal essence stones and spirit stones he had accumulated in the mission of the Impermanence League before in alchemy. Although there are still some left, it is naturally far from enough to buy enough alchemy materials for the two alchemy formulas in his hand. .
"Forget it, now I need to cast spells to restore the Dao pattern as soon as possible, so the green liquid will not condense the crystal grains for now, let's use it to ripen the spirit grass first..." Han Li thought to himself.
Speaking of which, the palm of the sky bottle resonated with the mantra treasure wheel before, and the sudden change caused the treasure wheel to be affected, but the small bottle was the same as before, and there was no abnormality.
The main ingredients and some rare auxiliary ingredients in the two prescriptions should be ripened in small bottles.
Han Li stood up, walked out of the secret room, took out a communication disk, and waved out a spell.
A while later, Meng Yungui and Sun Buzheng came to the cave hall, and bowed their hands to Han Li who was sitting at the stone table:
"I've seen Elder Li!"
"I'm going to retreat for a period of time to practice. During this period, the two of you go out and collect some materials for me. This is the list." Han Li gave the two of them a jade slip, which contained two prescriptions Some auxiliary materials, and some seeds of main materials and auxiliary materials.
The two of them took the jade slips, swept their spiritual sense into it, and showed surprise on their faces at the same time.
Most of the materials inside are very precious, and it is not easy to collect them.
"I know the things inside are not easy to collect, but there is no rush. The two of you just look for it slowly, and you can find enough in a hundred years. If you make progress during the period, you can take it back at any time." Han Li said, taking out two A storage bag with spirit stones inside.
"Yes." The two looked relieved when they heard the words, took the storage bag, nodded and agreed.
After the two left, Han Li also got up and walked towards the secret room...
Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, more than a hundred years have passed.
The Zhongming Mountain Range is like the ancient years that have passed away. Although some things have happened, some people have increased and some people have been lost, but for the entire Zhulong Dao, it is very normal. After all, as long as the thirteen With the Daoist Golden Immortal sitting in town, everything is nothing, even if there is something, there will naturally be corresponding people to settle it.
Chixia Peak, which was originally located in the remote area, seemed to be getting more and more silent. In addition, Han Li, the elder of the inner sect, kept a low profile. Except for a few people, naturally no one would remember it, let alone come visited.
Of course, even if someone comes to visit, they will find that Chixia Peak has long been closed.
It is naturally a very common thing for a true immortal to close the mountain to retreat for a hundred years. For some true immortal elders, it is normal to retreat for thousands of years, or even ten thousand years at a time.
During this period, Han Li almost never left the cave, and has been devoting himself to comprehending the eight and a half sentences he heard from the big-eared monk, day after day, year after year.
During the only pause during the period, most likely Sun Buzheng or Meng Yungui came back by chance and brought back some seeds related to the main ingredients and auxiliary ingredients of the alchemy formula. He would order the giant ape puppet to adjust it as needed.
In the secret room, the air is stagnant, and a little dust is suspended in the air, as if it is still.
Han Li was wearing a green robe, sitting cross-legged, the wheel of mantra spinning slowly behind him, and all the 108 time patterns on it lit up, and there were bursts of obvious law fluctuations from it.
After a while, I saw that the formula in his hand was put away, and when his mind moved, the treasure wheel behind him flashed and flew into his body.
As if the restriction had been lifted suddenly, the air in the secret room flowed as usual again, and the flying dust in the light also drifted freely.
"Finally everything has recovered..." Han Li exhaled, stood up, and walked out of the secret room.
On Chixia Peak, the sky is bright and the air is clear, and the blue sky is like washing, just like the mood.
A round sun hangs high in the sky, bringing some warmth to the snow-covered mountain peaks.
Han Li came out of the cave, with a flash of light on his body, and flew out high. He wanted to go directly to the valley where he usually went, and try the new supernatural power comprehended from the eight and a half formulas. Meng Qianqian and his party of five or six people were gathering at the elixir field on the mountain.
So, he escaped and flew down towards that side.
"Elder Li..." Seeing Han Lifei approaching, everyone rushed forward to salute, and shouted respectfully.
Han Li waved his hand to signal to everyone that there is no need to be polite, but his eyes were on the mountain guardian beast in front of him.
As for this beast, he hadn't paid much attention to it since he adopted it. He just handed it over to a group of servants to take care of it. He didn't expect that this beast had reached the middle stage of fusion without knowing it.
However, it was not the double-headed griffin that caught his attention, but a blue strange bird riding on its neck.
This bird has a huge head, a slender neck, and a body length of nearly two feet. There are arrow-like feathers all over its body, and a five-foot-sized pouch hangs from its chest.
Before that, he had been riding on a gigantic beast that was many times bigger than his body, looking around, with a domineering appearance.
However, when Han Li's figure fell, the bird seemed to be taken aback, its wings fluttered, and a trace of fear flashed in its eyes.
After Meng Qianqian glanced at him, he calmed down, but his figure was already prostrate on the Gryphon, with his wings covering his head, observing Han Li with his eyes.
"This is... Nian Yu?" Han Li turned his head to look at Meng Qianqian, and asked with some hesitation.
"Well, it's Nian Yu." Meng Qianqian nodded and replied with a smile.
"Oh, I didn't expect to be close to the Nascent Soul Stage after a hundred years?" Han Li asked.
"That's right. Elder Li, you don't know. It eats a lot now. I'm afraid it has something to do with this... But I never gave it the wind spirit grass from the elixir garden. Other spirit herbs or pills. But it itself, occasionally sneaks out of Chixia Peak, as for what it ate outside, I don’t know.” Meng Qianqian turned her head and glanced at the blue strange bird, saying so Said.
Han Li pointed to the two-headed griffin lying on the ground in low spirits, and Nian Yu riding on its neck, and asked:
"Then what's going on with them?"
"Two years ago, Nian Yu sneaked out of Chixia Peak once, and when he came back, he was chased and killed by a monster at the stage of transformation. At that time, it was the mountain guard beast who... exited and ate the monster before saving his life." After downloading it, they seem to have become friends." Meng Qianqian explained.
"This little guy doesn't look like a fuel-efficient lamp. He probably went out to hunt monsters and was hunted down by others. By the way, didn't your brother and Sun Buzheng come back?" asked in a turn.
"They came back seven or eight years ago. It just seems that they have had a lot of troubles when they went out this time. Not long after they came back, they both reached the critical moment of breaking through the late Nascent Soul, and are now in retreat. They The elixir brought back has already been planted in the elixir garden, yes, there are these seeds." Meng Qianqian said so, and handed a storage bag to Han Li.
Han Li took the storage bag, swept it with his consciousness, and then came to the spiritual field, walked around the field, and nodded with satisfaction.
The two brought back a lot of seeds and supplementary materials this time. As long as you spend some time, you can make at least dozens of alchemy materials.
This is really not an easy task for the two of them, and it can be seen that they really did their best to do it.
"They did a good job. I may have to retreat in the future. When they break through the border and leave the border, they may not be able to see me. These two bottles of pills for stabilizing the realm, you will give them to them for me when the time comes." Han Li threw the pill to Meng Qianqian and said.
The latter quickly took it, bowed to Han Li, and said, "Thank you, Elder Li, for my brother and Brother Sun."
Han Li waved his hands casually, then his hands lit up, and he poked towards the spiritual field.
As the ground shook slightly, more than a hundred plants of various kinds of elixir rose from the ground under the cover of blue light. The leaves were still stained with dew, and the roots were still covered with soil. They all flew into the air and followed Han Li to the The direction of the cave.
These elixirs are not old enough, and they need to be ripened with green liquid later, so he wants to transplant them all back to the medicine garden in the cave.
