Chapter 62: Questioning the Master of the Immortal Herb and Han Li Going with the Flow

After a while of playful fighting, the atmosphere finally relaxed.

Guangling looked at the two "injured" people in front of her, one big and one small, and said, "Alright, you two should focus on recovering now. I'll keep an eye on things here, nothing will happen."

"By the way, Xiao Li, how long will it take you to fully recover?"

"It'll probably take at least half a month," Han Li said uncertainly.

"Will the recovery period affect your absorption of spirit rings? You can tell me in advance what you want for your third spirit ring, and I'll look around for it. Coincidentally, there's someone who's always around here, so let him give you some advice too."

As they were talking, Guangling gave Dugu Bo a look, and Dugu Bo nodded in agreement.

Han Li thought for a moment, then looked up and said, "To be on the safe side, let's forget it and wait a bit longer. But as for soul beasts, I'll need you to help me find some in advance."

"My physical strength is comparable to that of a Soul Emperor, and my mental strength is comparable to that of a non-mental Soul King. However, I haven't taken the Dew of Longing for Autumn Water yet, but it should be enough after I do. I'll set the age of my Soul Beast between 15,000 and 20,000 years."

"As for the spirit beasts, I'll stick to the original plan. For the first three rings, I'll still focus on the amplification route. Well, I already have armor-piercing abilities, and my elemental power is sufficient. Moreover, I can perform group attacks even without the aid of my spirit beast, so area-of-effect attacks are not a concern. My idea is to enhance the overall amplification, increase the range, or increase the speed of the arrows with the spirit skills."

"But considering the Ice and Fire Dragon Blade, it would be best if the soul beast also had abilities suitable for dual swords, such as increasing attack speed or breaking shields. Hmm, if possible, I hope it can also fly. Based on past experience, I should be able to fully inherit it, hehehe."

As he spoke, Han Li couldn't help but laugh out loud, feeling embarrassed. It seemed his request was a bit excessive, and he even blushed slightly.

When Guangling and Dugu Bo, who were standing next to him, heard his request, their faces darkened.

It's not that they're not capable; if it were a single type, they could easily meet the requirements. But with so many conditions combined, they really can't think of any soul beast that could satisfy them in a short time.

Guangling thought of the Golden Scaled Eagle that the Spirit Hall personnel had come to find before. He hadn't paid any attention to it before, and he could only say that it was fortunate that it was the second spirit ring. If it were under the current conditions, even with more people and more strength, it would definitely be unbearable.

Han Li glanced at their expressions and spoke again: "If all else fails, normal strength and speed types will also work. Actually, I don't necessarily need them to all fit the criteria. Anyway, I don't rely on soul skills very much right now, so I can fill in the gaps later."

Guangling took a deep breath, looked at Dugu Bo who seemed to be questioning his existence but was still deep in thought, and sighed: "It's alright, you're not absorbing it right away anyway. Tomorrow, I'll go back to the Spirit Hall and mobilize people to help you investigate. I'll also continue to help you search. You don't need to worry about this matter. Let's solve your problem first."

"Dugu Bo, come back with me and we can buy some daily necessities while we're at it."

Guangling suddenly turned to look at Dugu Bo, her expression brooking no refusal.

Dugu Bo didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement. He knew very well that Guangling was still wary of him, but he could understand it; if he were in that situation, he would have done the same.

It just so happens that he was already planning to go back to explain some things in advance, and he wouldn't mind visiting Yan Yan along the way.

Seeing that his master had made a decision, Han Li did not object. Instead, he walked to the side, found a place to sit down, and began to cultivate. He also needed to resolve the hidden dangers in his body and martial soul as soon as possible.

The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire fell silent, and the three of them entered into cultivation.

The other two focused on conditioning their bodies, while Guangling stabilized her newly broken-through realm and familiarized herself with her surging power.

The next morning, using the excuse that she had eaten too much meat, Guangling sent Dugu Bo out to find some edible vegetables and fruits, ignoring his disdainful look.

After confirming that Dugu Bo had left, Guang Ling, her face slightly flushed, pressed Han Li into a chair, rubbed her hands somewhat awkwardly, and asked in a slightly ingratiating tone, "Little Li, what are your plans for those two fire-attribute immortal herbs?"

Upon hearing his words, Han Li instantly guessed his thoughts, but he didn't hide anything and asked frankly, "Which one would you like, Master?"

"As for the Phoenix Sunflower, it is a pure yang tonic and should not be eaten indiscriminately. Moreover, its main function is purification and refinement, and its enhancement of fire attributes and soul power is only incidental."

"As for the Fiery Apricot Blossom, as you know, its fire attribute is no less than that of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass. Although it is very strong, it is difficult for ordinary soul masters to absorb it directly."

"How about the Fiery Apricot and Vegetable Salad?"

Guangling spoke tentatively, her face slightly flushed.

Including what he ate himself, he took two of the top-grade plants directly. Although both had significant flaws when separated, their value was still undeniable.

"Okay, Master, here you go."

Han Li took out a jade box from his wristband, inside which was a bright red cabbage. He handed it to Guang Ling and then asked her a question.

"Would you like me to prepare some medication to aid absorption?"

Guangling took the box blankly and subconsciously replied, "Yes, yes, and it would be best to get a few more for recuperation later."

"Okay, please wait a moment. I need some time to configure it. You can rest for a bit."

Han Li didn't ask why, and immediately expelled Guang Ling, who was about to help.

Guangling didn't care about his attitude, but she fell into deep thought as she watched Han Li start preparing the medicine.

Something's not right. Why doesn't Xiao Li ask why?

Go ahead and ask. If you ask me, I'll tell you.

Could it be that this kid has already guessed something? Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could he possibly know? There's no such thing in the records of the Spirit Hall.

Oh dear, does he think I'm having an affair?

As Han Li prepared the medicine according to the prescriptions recorded in the booklet, he noticed the changes in his master's expression through his sensory perception. He couldn't help but laugh to himself; his master's facial expressions were truly rich.

The reason he didn't ask was actually quite simple: he knew, but he didn't want to know, so he figured it was better to stay out of it and avoid getting into trouble.

If Master wants it, then give it to him. It's just a highly poisonous immortal herb. The key is that it's useless to him, and if his strength is insufficient or his martial soul quality is poor, it will be difficult for him to successfully absorb it.

Since Guangling wants to give it to Qian Renxue, then let's just hand it over as protection money.

After returning, compare those with other immortal herbs, such as the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, which can be described as abundant. Offer one to each of them as an offering, and who can say that they are not?

Well, some of the other top-grade medicinal herbs can be shared, but don't even think about the immortal herbs; those are his reserves.

As for Senior Uncle Qingluan, it's a pity there are no wind-attribute immortal herbs here, but there are quite a few quasi-immortal herbs of the ninth-grade purple ganoderma, so it won't be a problem for him to break through.

What nonsense about one immortal herb being limited to one per person? That's utter rubbish. As long as it's not a conflicting immortal herb, you can digest it and continue eating it without any problem. At most, the effect will be slightly less.

If his body hadn't temporarily reached its limit due to the baptism of ice and fire, he would have insisted on eating a few more plants for fun; that's how extravagant he is.

The rare and precious Chrysanthemum in full bloom, and the heart-wrenching Red Acacia, are what he prepared for Sister Xiuer.

With the immortal herb as a foundation, as long as there is a little bit of luck, the first dark gold dinosaur claw bear martial soul in human history might appear. As for whether it will appear or not, that is not within his consideration. What does it mean to be the father of destiny? (Leaning back)

The Ninth Grade Dragon Fungus - Fire, tentatively named Dugu Yan, is a girl who, even if she doesn't marry him, has already bound the grandfather and granddaughter to his cause, so he can't be dismissive.

Alright, let's see if we can add another Narcissus Jade Bone Herb. The passive beauty effect of this herb is quite good. The snake-type martial soul combined with smooth skin... hehe, how about letting Grandpa Dugu try swallowing a dragon with a snake? A snake isn't necessarily inferior to a dragon, right? Hmm, we can give it a try, and let him choose for himself then.

As for the Qiluo tulip, the eight-petaled fairy orchid, and some other quasi-immortal herbs not mentioned in the original work, we'll talk about them later.

At worst, he can wait until his level is higher and actively use the power of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye to produce some more medicinal herbs. Although they can't compare to immortal herbs, they will be enough.

Thinking of this, Han Li's mood improved considerably, and he even quickened his pace in preparing the medicine, leaving Guang Ling, who was standing to the side, even more bewildered.
