A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality - Chapter 835

Obtaining the Fruits

As he had important matters to attend to, Han Li naturally would not study this demon core now. He immediately flipped his palm, and with a flash of azure light, the item disappeared without a trace.

Han Li raised his hand again and took out three empty spirit beast pouches. He pointed at the Gold Devouring Beetles in the air and let out a long cry.

All of a sudden, the swarm of insects buzzed and turned into three golden clouds. They all flew back into the three spirit beast pouches and were put away by Han Li.

As for the Aureate Sword Formation, Han Li transformed it into 36 golden flying swords with a single thought. They shrunk and entered his sleeve.

“Let’s go and pick the spirit fruits. We have to act quickly. I wonder how long the illusion formation we set up will be able to confuse the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators,” Han Li said as he flew into the lake as a streak of azure light.

Violet Spirit hurriedly followed after him.

As soon as the light receded, Han Li and his companion appeared three meters above the spiritual herb.

After glancing at the top of the spiritual herb, Han Li was not in a hurry to pick the fruits. Instead, he turned his head and calmly said to Violet Spirit beside him, “Pick the fruits first and be more careful! This Spirit Kindle Fruit is very strange. It must be stored in a wooden container. Otherwise, the medicinal power won’t be preserved for a few days.”

“Thank you for your reminder, Brother Han. I’ll be more careful.” Violet Spirit suppressed the excitement in her heart and gave Han Li a charming smile before thanking him.

Without any hesitation, she flicked her sleeve and a jade-green wooden box appeared in her hand.

She then extended a jade finger and swiped it through the air.

Immediately, a white light flashed and a Spirit Kindle Fruit immediately fell.

However, the woman, who was prepared, flipped the wooden box in her hand, and white light swept out from it, sweeping the spirit fruit into the box.

She then swept a hand over the box, and it closed on its own.

After doing all this, Violet Spirit heaved a long sigh of relief before carefully stowing the box away in her storage pouch.

“What? Miss Violet Spirit isn’t going to take another one?” Han Li was slightly stunned when he saw this, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

Violet Spirit sweetly smiled and said, “Many thanks for Brother Han’s kind intentions. I only need one. Apart from obtaining some information from the beginning, I didn’t put in much effort to reach this place. It was all thanks to Brother Han’s abilities that I was able to obtain this spirit fruit. Although I have some friendship with Brother Han, I am not thick-skinned enough to share those fruits evenly with you. Brother Han can keep the rest. After all, apart from being able to refine Fate Pills, this spirit fruit has other wondrous uses. It can increase one’s cultivation.”

Han Li was surprised to hear Violet Spirit’s obedient words.

To be honest, although this famous beauty of the Scattered Star Seas was charming and even the most beautiful female cultivator he had ever seen, this woman was truly a little scheming. Besides, after the Exquisite Sound Sect was seized, her temperament became even more obstinate, causing Han Li to keep a respectful distance.

However, now that she said these words so rationally, whether she was sincere or intentionally befriending him, this made Han Li’s impression of this woman improve a lot.

After all, it wasn’t easy to restrain one’s greed in the face of a Heavenly Spirit Fruit.

“In that case, Lady Violet Spirit, I won’t stand on ceremony.” Han Li nodded and slapped his waist. With a flash of white light, a prepared wooden box appeared in his hand. At the same time, he waved his other hand.

An azure light then enveloped the three Spirit Kindle Fruits, causing them to tremble and fall off of their own accord. Soon after, they sank and were enveloped in azure light.

Han Li waved his hand and the three spiritual fruits were put into the wooden box.

“Let’s go! We can’t stay here for long. I don’t know when the Ghost Spirit Sect will catch up to us. Although I’m not afraid of them, I don’t want to fight them here. After all, refining pills is more important,” Han Li said slowly after putting away the wooden box.

Violet Spirit blinked and pursed her red lips. “Of course! Spirit fruits can’t be stored for too long, but we can’t go back the way we came. Otherwise, we might encounter members of the Ghost Spirit Sect. Why don’t we find a secret place to refine pills after traveling thousands of kilometers? As for where we’re going, it’ll naturally be up to Brother Han.”

“Where are we going…” Han Li frowned and subconsciously looked around.

All of a sudden, he thought of something and pressed his storage pouch. A piece of silk appeared in his hand. It was the map of Devilfall Valley that Han Li had obtained from the Azure Silkworm Robe.

He took a closer look at the map and examined the surrounding environment. A trace of surprise appeared on his face. The location of the desert wasn’t too far away from the mark on the map. After flying for another two days, they should arrive at the location marked on the map.

Looking at the thick markings on the map, Han Li muttered to himself.

Violet Spirit saw that Han Li did not answer her question and was instead looking at an unknown cloth-like item in his hand. She could not help but feel a little strange. However, this woman was exceptionally smart and did not say anything to urge him. Instead, she quietly waited for Han Li’s decision.

“Follow me. Let’s finish refining the pills first.” Han Li made up his mind and put away the map. However, after looking at the spiritual herb in front of him, he suddenly frowned and slashed his arm in the air. A green light flashed and a small branch fell.

However, as soon as the branch came into contact with the ground, it withered and turned to ash.

When Han Li saw this, a trace of pity flashed across his eyes.

It seemed that what was recorded in the ancient records was true. The Spirit Kindle Fruit’s roots were different from other spirit plants. It was one of the few spirit plants in this world that could not be transplanted. Once it was transplanted, the spirit plant would immediately wither and disappear. It was impossible to plant it artificially.

Without any hesitation, Han Li raised his hand and released a white light, summoning the Wind Riding Chariot. He flashed onto the carriage.

When Violet Spirit saw this, she also flew onto the carriage without another word.

With a flash of white light, the Wind Riding Chariot transformed into a ball of light and shot through the air. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a small white speck of light in a certain direction.

Han Li had already thought it through. He would first find a place to refine the Fate Pill on the way and then quickly consume the pill to absorb its medicinal power. After experiencing the miraculous medicinal power of the Fate Pill, if everything was smooth, he would take a look at the place on the map and see what secret treasures were hidden there.

After all, this map was mysterious. If there were any treasures, they should be extraordinary.

As long as there was no great danger, Han Li naturally would not let go of the place on the map so easily.

About two hours later, the Ghost Spirit Sect finally arrived at the oasis.

However, the Ghost Spirit Sect disciples looked at each other in dismay as they stood by the lake. Elder Zhong’s face turned ashen.

At this moment, Han Li was already a thousand miles away, heading towards the place marked on the map.

Not long after, the two left the desert and arrived at a azure-yellow plateau of varying heights.

Seeing this terrain, Han Li could not help but sigh.

This small Devilfall Valley was actually almost all-encompassing and had a myriad of terrains. It was truly an inconceivable matter! It was unknown whether this type of terrain was born in Devilfall Valley or whether it was formed after ancient cultivators used their indescribable great divine abilities.

Half a day later, Han Li rode the Wind Riding Chariot to a hilly area.

Looking at these not-so-tall mountains, Han Li immediately went several hundred kilometers deeper. Finally, he found a seemingly ordinary small mountain and stopped the Wind Riding Chariot.

Han Li floated at the foot of the mountain and calmly said to Violet Spirit, “Fellow Daoist Violet Spirit, this is the place! The two of us will split up and refine pills. I’ve scanned this place with my spiritual sense, so there shouldn’t be any ancient restrictions or spatial tears. It’s safe.”

“Many thanks, Brother Han. I’ll be taking my leave then,” Violet Spirit replied with a smile as she surveyed her surroundings. Soon after, she turned into a streak of light and flew toward another nearby mountain. It seemed that she was preparing to open up a secret chamber to refine pills.

Seeing that the woman had disappeared into the small mountain, Han Li withdrew his gaze and flew out of the flying vehicle, standing several tens of feet away from the Wind Riding Chariot.

He formed an incantation gesture with his hands and waved at the carriage. The Wind Riding Chariot quickly shrank and was absorbed into his sleeve.

Han Li then turned into a streak of azure light and headed straight for the center of the small mountain in front of him.

A moment later, under Han Li’s command, several tens of flying swords simultaneously cut the mountain rocks,and a simple cave abode appeared in front of him.

Han Li set up a small magic formation at the entrance of the cave before walking into the cave abode expressionlessly.

In order to be safe, he released eight Core Formation puppets to guard the cave entrance in case of any mishaps.

With that, Han Li walked into a secret room with a peace of mind. He threw his storage pouch into the air, and under the guidance of his spiritual sense, many Fate Pill supplementary ingredients that he had already prepared were poured out in the white light.

Finally, Han Li took out the wooden box containing the Spirit Kindle Fruit and an antique green cauldron, letting them float gently in front of him.

Han Li narrowed his eyes and glanced at these things. He took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged.

Although this was Han Li’s first time refining the Fate Pill, with his almost grandmaster-level alchemy attainments, he was naturally confident. Furthermore, for this trip to Devilfall Valley, Han Li had prepared well. Be it the main ingredients, the Spirit Candle Fruit, or other supplementary ingredients, he had prepared many portions. Even if he failed a few times, it did not matter.

As for whether Violet Spirit could use that Spirit Kindle Fruit to refine the Fate Pill, Han Li was not sure. After all, this woman had never revealed her alchemy skills in front of him. However, since this woman only took one spiritual fruit, she should be somewhat confident.

With this thought in mind, Han Li stared at the small cauldron spinning in front of him without blinking.

All of a sudden, he opened his mouth and spat out a burst of azure Nascent Flames. The Nascent Flames circled around the cauldron before engulfing it in flames.
