A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 108 Trouble
Dozens of ancient medicinal herbs.

It's like a small part of Lingmiao Garden.

This is only because a large number of spiritual herbs were eaten by the corpse demons transformed from the giant rock frogs, leaving only seventy or eighty plants; otherwise, there would have been many more.

Of course, the medicinal power and value of these elixirs are far inferior to the ultra-high-quality, ten-thousand-year-old elixirs in the real Lingmiao Garden.

The gap is still quite large.

"That damned beast, even in death it can still wreak havoc here using its instincts from its life..."

Han Li cursed under his breath.

By carefully counting the root traces left on the ground, he roughly estimated the amount of medicinal herbs that originally existed in this place.

There should be around 120 plants in total.

No matter what.

More than forty plants were destroyed by the corpse demon of the giant rock frog.

After plundering the local spiritual herbs and taking away the local heritage, Han Li did not forget to scatter a large number of Yin-attribute spiritual herb seeds.

Perhaps ten thousand years from now, this place will be another vibrant place?
Before leaving, he dug out pieces of transparent crystal that emitted a faint glow from the mountain wall and took them away.

Although these crystals are not rare materials, they are the core material for refining a high-grade magic weapon called "Bright Light Pearl".

The Bright Light Pearl emits a faint glow without any magical activation, similar to the green markers on an emergency exit. When activated by magical or spiritual power, it shines even brighter, resembling a light bulb.

It would be quite suitable to use it to decorate the cave dwelling later.

To avoid the cave being dark and gloomy deep inside.

Return to the top of the abyss.

We arrived at the exit of the stone palace.

We passed through the tunnel that had been dug earlier.

Han Li summoned Xiao Liu and was preparing to leave. But at that moment, he thought of Xin Ruyin and the Iceberg Snow Lotus.

He immediately stopped in his tracks.

Looking back at the mountaintop basin, submerged in snow and covered by ice:
"No, no, the spiritual energy here is extremely rich, there must be a spiritual vein underground. The location of a spiritual vein treasure land usually nurtures spiritual herbs and medicines. Putting aside the deep abyss pit where yin energy gathers, this place should also have various cold-attribute spiritual medicines growing."

"Moreover, according to the map of the forbidden area, this great snow mountain is indeed marked as a place where cold-attribute spiritual herbs are produced."

So, where did the elixir go?

Covered by snow year-round, and even buried by snow falling from the sky, the medicinal herbs may be frozen, but they may not be completely crushed into dust.

With this in mind, Han Li immediately returned and resumed the excavation work.

This time, he didn't dig around the walls of the stone temple, but instead dug along the ground of the basin.

He wanted to re-excavate the original mountaintop basin to restore its original outline.

At first, nothing was gained.

But he remained patient and firmly believed in his judgment.

And the result was exactly as he expected.

Just as he pierced through another block of ice with his sword and dug out a large chunk of ice, Han Li's eyes lit up.

"Ice Jade Flower".

"As expected, as expected..."

Beneath the ice, there truly is another life.

In front of them, within a layer of ice about ten feet deep, a magical herb was vividly frozen.

This is an Ice Jade Flower, a spiritual herb with cold properties.

This ice jade flower is like a specimen, perfectly preserved within the ice layer without being crushed into dust.

Upon examining the unearthed ice jade flower, a look of delight appeared on his face:
"This spiritual flower must be at least three thousand years old..."

Unfortunately, after the basin was buried by ice and snow, it was frozen inside the ice layer and never grew again.

The roots in the soil were all rotten, but the main stem of the medicinal herb was completely unharmed.

It was surprisingly well preserved by being frozen.

Once there's one plant, there will naturally be a second one.

In the following period, Han Li dug up a total of 37 spiritual herbs of four different types.

All of them are finished products that have been perfectly frozen by the ice layer.

Some are hundreds of years old.

Some are even thousands of years old.

The harvest is not small.

Before leaving, he isolated the basin from the ice layer above using ice pillars, effectively isolating a large area. Then, he planted a large number of ice-attribute spiritual herb seeds on the basin ground. Some were prepared in advance, while others were collected during his exploration of the forbidden area.

The same reason.

Countless years later, who knows which lucky person will find this place and discover its secrets?
"Unfortunately, time is limited, and I do not have the methods of ancient powerful cultivators to set up various special formations. Otherwise, I could have effectively protected these spiritual herbs."

He was just about to bury the tunnel he had dug himself and leave when...

Several figures swiftly climbed up the mountain from below, scaling the walls and rooftops.

This blocked Han Li's path.

In the central area, most areas were shrouded in mist, so thick that visibility was extremely low. However, there were some places with exceptionally high visibility and excellent views, such as this iceberg. The area more than two thousand feet above the iceberg showed no trace of mist.

Yes, only snow is falling.

"Uncle Han?"

There were seven people in total.

One of them recognized Han Li at a glance.

"Do you know me?"

Han Li narrowed his eyes.

The location of the Great Snow Mountain is only about 40 to 50 miles inside the central area, which is not too deep.

It's not too surprising that the elites of Huangfeng Valley were able to find their way here.

"Uncle-Master, your disciple is Chen Xu, a member of a collateral branch of the Chen family."

The person who had just spoken clasped his hands in greeting.

She seemed to have great respect for Han Li.

"I see."

Han Li nodded.

In the past, although he lived a secluded life and not many people knew him, he had made several appearances at the Chen family's residence and at the Jingu Plain battlefield, so it was perfectly normal for people to remember his appearance.

in fact.

What he didn't know was that he had long since become a major attraction for Yellow Maple Valley.

There was no other reason; it was simply because he had reached the late Foundation Establishment stage with his four pseudo-spiritual roots.

Moreover, he has only been practicing Taoism for a little over ten years.

Once this signboard was put up, it attracted countless disciples from cultivation families who wanted to join Yellow Maple Valley and learn from its secrets. Those disciples with three spiritual roots or even pseudo-spiritual roots within the sect admired it greatly, hoping to become the next Han Li.

To become the next legendary figure of Yellow Maple Valley.

"Alright, my fellow disciples, I have already explored this place and picked all the spiritual herbs. You are a little late."

Han Li smiled.

Facing seven elites at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, his aura was undoubtedly overwhelming.

Hearing this, several people looked at each other in surprise.

Han Li didn't give them time to respond. He pressed a small Five Elements Talisman directly onto the passage he had dug himself. Earth-attribute spiritual power surged, and the original passage quickly disappeared, completely blocked by the suddenly grown, hard rocks.

"Uncle-Master, this..."

The group exchanged glances again.

"Come with me, I will give you a chance."

Han Li smiled again.

However, one of the seven female cultivators was quite unhappy.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute:

"Uncle-Master, we have our own plans, please don't force us to do things against our will."

This person was extremely opposed to Han Li's previous actions of blocking the passage.

It felt like a thorn had been planted in my heart.

Little did she know that Han Li also had a thorn planted in his heart at that moment.

He is now extremely, extremely, extremely restrained.

Imagine.

What if he lets these people enter the stone hall and descend into the deep underground pit through the passage he dug, and then discovers traces of ancient medicinal herbs below with their keen eyesight?
"What, my junior brother? I'm offering you a favor, and you're already complaining about my kindness?"

Han Li's smile was no longer as kind as before.

Among the seven, some sensed that something was amiss.

The coldness in those words was even greater than the coldness of this iceberg.

"I just wanted to go in and take a look, Uncle-Master. Why are you being so secretive? Could it be...?"

The female cultivator seemed oblivious to Han Li's displeasure.

Or rather, they didn't care about other people's feelings at all.

But someone nearby was already terrified and immediately grabbed the woman:
"Stop talking, Junior Sister Linghu!"

What is this stupid woman doing?
