Mortal, marry the old demon's sister and build an immortal family

Chapter 79: Hundred Medicinal Garden

"This world is full of troubles and people's hearts are treacherous. The only person who truly treats me sincerely, besides my blood relative, is probably Brother Xiaotian, right?"

"This foundation-building pill is so precious."

"Even if there are a thousand reasons, this favor is too heavy."

"If I don't return it in the future, Han Li will feel guilty."

After putting away the Foundation Establishment Pill, the two of them brewed tea and discussed Taoism in the room, waiting for their younger sister to come out. After meeting each other, Han Li said goodbye and left.

He was not in a hurry to return to the cave, but went towards the Hundred Medicine Garden.

Han Li was in Baiji Hall, leading the task of looking after the medicine garden.

At this moment, he was on his way with a flying leaf-shaped magical weapon under his feet.

Soon, a small basin between two hills appeared in front of them. This was the Hundred Medicine Garden, and its owner had set up a formation restriction to prevent outsiders from entering.

Han Li landed steadily and walked forward, but was soon blocked outside by a restriction.

But he was not panicked. He raised a jade token and shone it forward. Suddenly, a green light shot out from the token and flew into the restriction. Then Han Li waited patiently.

"Come in!" A dry voice came from inside, as if it was ringing in Han Li's ears. Then the restrictions in front of him disappeared like ice and snow melting.

Seeing this scene, Han Li observed it more carefully and compared it with Brother Xiaotian's attainments in formation. He couldn't help but shook his head secretly. Although he was not proficient in this, he still felt that Brother Xiaotian's formation was better.

After shaking his head, he did not dare to delay and walked in quickly.

Following the path in front of him, Han Li stopped in front of a courtyard with a plaque that read "Hundred Medicine Garden".

The yard was very large, covering several acres in size. Before he entered the yard, a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out from inside, which lifted Han Li's spirits.

Not only that, the concentration of spiritual energy inside is also much richer than that of the outside world, and is comparable to the spiritual energy maintained by the formation in Xiaotiange's cave.

This also made Han Li stand still and feel it carefully.

If you practice here in the future, you will definitely be faster than outside.

"Why are you standing outside like an idiot? Come in quickly, I have something to go out for!" Han Li was stunned, but immediately obeyed and went in.

Only after standing inside did Han Li truly see the situation in the garden.

Several thatched houses made of hay and bamboo were located in the center of the garden, surrounded by neatly arranged square plots divided by trenches. Each plot was lush and green, with many herbs that Han Li was familiar with or unfamiliar with, as well as some plants that looked strange.

The entire garden was filled with spiritual energy, and even a cultivator like Han Li felt extremely comfortable after taking a deep breath.

"Come into the house!" The owner of the voice became impatient when he saw him dithering. Han Li smiled faintly and walked into the hut without caring.

A skinny, short old man was standing in the room, looking disapprovingly at Han Li who had just come in. The old man looked to be about fifty years old, with a withered mustache and a pair of cloudy eyes that rolled around. At first glance, he really looked like a giant rat in human form.

"Are you the disciple sent by Baijitang to manage the garden? You are too young, and your skills are so poor! Is that guy named Ye just trying to fool me? Why are the people he sends getting worse each time?" When the thin old man saw Han Li's appearance, his face darkened and he got very angry.

It’s not the old man’s fault.

It is true that Baijitang is becoming more and more unreliable. Just imagine, the herbs you carefully cultivated were carelessly taken care of by some young men who know nothing about them. Some died, some were injured, and their medicinal value was greatly reduced.

Whose mood can be improved?

More importantly, he is a disciple in the valley. It is okay to punish him, but it should not be too severe to make him understand why the flowers are so red.

That is why the old man usually does not have a good face towards those who have no ability and are just filling in the gaps.

"Disciple Han Li, nice to meet Uncle Ma!" Han Li had already known about the old man's strange temper from the files, so he was not surprised and stepped forward to greet him.

"Hmph! Do you know how severe the punishment will be if you fail to complete the mission? Go back now and ask my Junior Brother Ye to send someone else. There is still time!" The old man rolled his eyes and said unhappily.

"Should the scale of the medicine garden be maintained unchanged, the herbs not be allowed to die, and a certain amount of herbs be handed in every month! If so, I have some confidence!" Han Li said calmly.

"Are you confident? What kind of confidence do you have? Every disciple who comes here says they are confident." Even though Han Li acted very confident, the old man didn't buy it at all. Instead, he looked at him with a sneer, then stood up and patted his robe.

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Just follow me." The old man walked out of the thatched hut first, and Han Li followed behind him with a very aggressive attitude.

"Have you seen the medicinal herbs in this medicine garden? How many can you recognize? Tell me their medicinal properties and functions, so that you don't pretend to know and waste our time." The old man pointed at the many medicinal herbs in the medicine garden, looked at Han Li coldly, and asked him to identify them one by one.

Han Li did not dare to be arrogant. He scanned the herbs in the medicine garden with his spiritual sense, nodded slightly, and then bowed to the old man: "Uncle Ma, I dare not be arrogant. I can only identify two or three out of ten of the herbs in this medicine garden."

"Two or three out of ten?" The old man was stunned when he heard this. He looked Han Li up and down, sneered and said, "Okay! Don't say two or three out of ten. If you can recognize one out of ten medicinal herbs, this medicine garden will be left to you to take care of."

With Uncle Ma's words, the two sides reached a consensus. Han Li smiled confidently at this moment, looking at the herbs in the medicine garden, identifying them one by one:
"Midnight flower, yellow ball grass, white crane grass, moon-gazing grass..." Han Li casually called out the names of the herbs he knew while strolling in the garden.

"This is the yellow ball grass, which is shaped like a yellow hydrangea. Taking it can clear the meridians and relieve the qi."

"That one is the green worm onion. It looks like a green worm. Eating it can cure poison."

"Okay, you know a lot. You are many times better than those disciples who only half understood." Seeing that Han Li was not bragging but really understood medicinal herbs, the old man felt relieved and no longer had to worry about the large-scale death and damage of the medicinal herbs he had carefully cultivated.

The look he gave Han Li became more pleasing to the eye.

"From now on, this medicine garden will be in your care. If you have any questions about your cultivation, you can come to me for advice." With the approval of Uncle Master Ma, Han Li officially took up the position here.
