A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

Chapter 753

Decision

When Violet Spirit saw that Han Li was able to remain calm after hearing about the Spirit Kindle Fruit and the Fate Pill, she felt a bit of admiration for him. “Brother Han, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. This is no small matter. Perhaps we have overlooked something.”

Han Li stroked his chin and solemnly asked, “Although I also went to the Moulan Plains, why did you find me? You should know that Marquis Nanlong is the most likely to know the method to enter Devilfall Valley. Or do you know other methods to enter the valley?”josei

“We naturally know that Marquis Nanlong may have grasped the method to enter the valley. However, with his temperament and the rumors, how could we dare to tell him this secret? Sister Mei and I are very confident in Brother Han. We know that Fellow Daoist Dao isn’t someone who forgets his righteousness for the sake of profit. As for the method to enter the valley, we learned from the Ghost Spirit Sect disciple that the Ghost Spirit Sect seems to be researching a method to enter the valley and is close to completion. However, that person doesn’t know the exact situation. Still, the Ghost Spirit Sect will definitely take action the next time the spatial tear in Devilfall Valley stabilizes. When that time comes, it shouldn’t be difficult for us to infiltrate. However, it is said that the environment where the Spirit Kindle Fruit is located is extremely harsh. Without great abilities, there is no way to approach the spirit fruit. If Brother Han feels that his cultivation is insufficient, then so be it. After all, even if we enter the valley safely, Devilfall Valley will be rife with danger. It will be difficult to predict whether we will encounter misfortune or good fortune.” After Violet Spirit finished speaking, she revealed a hesitant expression.

“The Ghost Spirit Sect also has a way to enter the valley. This is the first time I’ve heard of it. However, from your tone, it seems that you’re still very unclear about everything and don’t have any concrete information. How about this? There are still a few years until the spatial rift in Devilfall Valley stabilizes. When the time comes, we’ll investigate everything and confirm that there really is a Spirit Kindle Fruit in the valley. In that case, I’ll naturally take a risk for the sake of the Fate Pill. As for my cultivation, you don’t have to worry. If I can’t do it, the other mid-Nascent Soul cultivators most likely won’t have a chance either.” Han Li sighed after a long while.

Han Li did not mention that Marquis Nanlong had contacted him. In the face of Devilfall Valley, the most dangerous place in the Heavenly South Region, Han Li had to think twice even with the Spirit Kindle Fruit. Perhaps the Ghost Spirit Sect’s method of entering the valley was safer. If that was the case, there was no need to mention Marquis Nanlong’s matter in front of the three women.

Seeing that Han Li did not agree to this matter, Violet Spirit was not depressed. Instead, she was happy.

She knew that with Han Li’s cautious character, saying these words basically meant that he had made a promise. Furthermore, from Han Li’s tone, it seemed that the rumors were true. Now that his abilities were truly extraordinary, the chances of obtaining the Spirit Kindle Fruit were even greater.

At this moment, the woman said with a smile.

“In truth, the reason why we were in such a hurry to find Brother Han was because we felt that if we weren’t able to find a capable helper, everything would be in vain. We wouldn’t be doing anything in vain. However, with Brother Han’s promise, we are relieved. In the future, we will find out the details. After all, we sisters are also going to enter the valley, so we won’t risk our lives.”

“What? The three of you also want to enter the valley?” Hearing this, Han Li was shocked and his face was filled with shock.

Violet Spirit bitterly smiled and helplessly said, “Brother Han, do you think we wish to enter the valley? We were forced to do so. Most of the ancient texts only record the wondrous effects of the Spirit Kindle Fruit. However, there are very few records that mention that once the Spirit Kindle Fruit is plucked, it cannot be preserved. It must be immediately refined in a cauldron within half a day after it is picked. Once it exceeds half a day, the fruit’s effectiveness will greatly decrease. After three days, it will lose its effectiveness. Worst of all, the Fate Pill refined from the Spirit Kindle Fruit also has this restriction. If the pill isn’t consumed within a certain amount of time, it will also lose its effectiveness. As such, even though we know Devilfall Valley isn’t a place we can enter, we can only brace ourselves and take a gamble. After all, it is better than spending a hundred years or even several hundred years without being able to break through the bottleneck.”

“The Spirit Kindle Fruit has such a restriction. I’ve read many ancient records, so why haven’t I heard of this before?” Han Li frowned.

“Martial Uncle Han, this is a secret ancient book passed down from our Song Clan’s ancestors. I made a copy of it. Martial Uncle will understand after reading it.”

To Han Li’s surprise, the woman surnamed Song suddenly took out a jade slip from her storage bag and respectfully handed it over.

A look of surprise flashed across Han Li’s face. He took a closer look at the woman before nodding his head and taking the jade slip, immersing his spiritual sense into it.

This was an ancient book that specialized in introducing ancient spirit pills and medicines. There were many spirit medicines and pill formulas that Han Li had never heard of. There was even a detailed mention of the Ninecurl Spirit Ginseng and the related pill formulas that he had obtained from the Bone Sage. This made Han Li’s heart thump.

With his current knowledge, many of the medicinal pills listed were extremely useful to Nascent Soul cultivators. Although almost all of the pill ingredients recorded were ancient spiritual medicines that could only be chanced upon by luck, it was always better to be prepared. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know what use he would have for any spiritual medicines he might encounter in the future.

It seemed that there were some good items in cultivation clans that even large cultivation sects didn’t have.

With Han Li’s powerful spiritual sense, although there were many things in the jade slip, he quickly found the contents of the Spirit Candle Fruit.

As expected, it mentioned the restrictions of the Spirit Kindle Fruit and the Fate Pill.

After reading it for a while, Han Li frowned.

A short moment later, he withdrew his spiritual sense and didn’t immediately say anything. Instead, he stroked the smooth surface of the jade slip and muttered to himself.

“I heard from Sister Violet Spirit that Martial Uncle Han is also very accomplished in pill refinement. This ancient book is of little value to our Song Clan. Although there are many ancient pill formulas, none of the main ingredients can be found in the Song Clan. If Martial Uncle doesn’t mind, you can take this jade slip as a reward for providing your help!” the woman surnamed Song said in a very obedient manner.

Han Li was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately looked at this woman with deep meaning and smiled. After thinking for a moment, he calmly spoke.

“I’ve never taken advantage of anyone in my life. If there really is a Spirit Kindle Fruit in Devilfall Valley, I’ll also benefit greatly. I won’t ask for any rewards, and I’ll most likely go as well. However, I do have some use for your ancient book, so I’ll exchange it for a bottle of medicine pills that can increase your cultivation base. This bottle of medicine pills is just right for your current cultivation base.”

After saying this, Han Li placed a hand on his waist and took out a small green bottle from his storage pouch, throwing it directly to Song.

The woman unconsciously accepted the bottle, but a hesitant expression appeared on her face as if she didn’t know what to do.

When Violet Spirit saw this, she smiled charmingly.

“Since it’s given to you, Big Sister Song can take it. Brother Han’s pill refinement techniques are no small matter. The medicine pills in the bottle are most likely refined from high grade demon cores. They will definitely allow Big Sister’s cultivation to rise. This business is quite profitable.”

Hearing Violet Spirit’s words, the woman surnamed Song revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. After thanking Han Li once again, she carefully put away the medicine bottle.

Han Li smiled and put away the jade slip.

Han Li sighed and solemnly said, “Since the Spirit Kindle Fruit and the Fate Pill can’t be preserved, it seems we can only enter the valley. If we only rush to the Spirit Fruit and don’t recklessly barge into other places, our chances of retreating will be quite high. However, for now, the few of you should first gather the supplementary ingredients for the Fate Pill. Although these spirit medicines aren’t as difficult to find as the Spirit Kindle Fruit, there are a few that aren’t easy to find. As for the other details, we will have to wait until everything is clear before making the final decision. After all, this matter is a bit far away. Perhaps when the time comes, we will be defeated in the battle with Moulan, and we can forget about the Devilfall Valley. Whether or not we cultivators can still establish ourselves in the Heavenly South Region is another matter.”

“What? Senior Han is not optimistic about this battle with the spell warriors?” Hearing Han Li’s words, Violet Spirit and the others were shocked, and Mei Ning could not help but ask in a reserved manner.

“That’s hard to say. On the surface, many of our Heavenly Dao Alliance’s factions have joined forces and are fighting locally, so we should be slightly superior to the Moulan Alliance. Even the Heavenly Dao Alliance’s Long Han couple is able to suppress the Moulan Divine Sages. However, those black-robed men’s origins are unknown. It’s obvious that an external faction has intervened in our battle with the Moulan. If anything were to happen, it would definitely be because of these people,” Han Li said noncommittally.

Violet Spirit’s expression grew solemn. “In that case, the outcome of this battle is only fifty-fifty.”

“You could say that, but the greatest possibility is still…” Han Li’s eyes flickered a few times as he muttered to himself, and his voice became inaudible.

This caused the three women to be stunned.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this. Who can say for sure before the war starts? You just have to make preparations for the Devilfall Valley. When the time comes, everything will depend on luck. Some things can’t be forced.” Han Li shook his head and said indifferently.

After that, Han Li did not mention Devilfall Valley again. Instead, he curiously asked about the two women’s experiences in the past few years. At the same time, Violet Spirit and the others were also very curious about how Han Li escaped from the Moulan Divine Sage’s mouth. Naturally, they also asked about it with great interest.

Smelling the alluring faint fragrance and looking at the three enchanting faces, this was naturally a pleasing thing to the eye. Time passed quickly!

When Han Li saw that it was getting late, he stood up and took his leave. The woman surnamed Song also wanted to leave.

Violet Spirit and Mei Ning naturally stood up to brought them to the entrance of the valley.

Before he left, Han Li noticed that Mei Ning wanted to say something several times, but after some hesitation, she bit her red lips and did not say anything.

Han Li’s heart stirred as he looked at the woman’s red face. He then looked at Violet Spirit, who was looking at him and Mei Ning with an ambiguous smile. He could not help but feel awkward.

Han Li didn’t dare to stay any longer. After a brief greeting, he turned into a cloud of azure light and swept the woman surnamed Song into it, flying back to Tianyi City.
