144: Immortal Medicine Time and Space Palace
The Space-Time Medicinal Garden.
Everyone scattered, like ants, heading to various parts of the Space-Time Medicinal Garden.
On the Peak of a thousand-zhang mountain, Han Li appeared. His gaze swept into the distance; here, he seemed to be able to feel the surging Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi even more profoundly.
The three rules of the Guardian Demon Spirit did not have much of an impact on him.
On the contrary, they were beneficial to him.
“longevity divine medicine…”
Gazing at the horizon, Han Li did not linger. His figure moved, and he instantly vanished from his original spot. In a secluded valley, Han Li’s figure reappeared.
His gaze fell upon a three-zhang tall tree deep within the valley.
On the tree, there were about a dozen red fruits.
Each fruit was as large as a watermelon, emitting a red glow.
They resembled small suns.
“Millennium Vermillion Fruit!”
Looking at the fruits on the tree, Han Li’s eyelids twitched.
The fruits on this tree were none other than Vermillion Fruits, one of the Heaven And Earth Treasures.
Moreover, they were Millennium Vermillion Fruits.
They contained immense energy.
The last time Han Li had seen one was at the Wu Capital auction, and that was only a five-hundred-year-old one.
The red Vermillion Fruits had golden thread-like patterns.
Ten golden threads.
Each golden thread represented a hundred years.
Ten golden threads represented a thousand years.
Han Li carefully observed the Vermillion Fruits on the tree.
Among them, some Vermillion Fruits even had fifteen golden threads.
They were worth a full one thousand five hundred years.
The longer the age of the Vermillion Fruit, the greater its effect.
Exceeding a thousand years, it became even more incredible.
If refined into a Medicinal Pill, it would be enough to greatly enhance Peak of the Acquired Realm Martial Artists.
It could also be consumed directly, providing a significant boost to Innate Realm Peak of the Acquired Realm Martial Artists.
“Hiss hiss~”
Just at this moment, a hissing sound suddenly came from the depths of the valley.
Han Li instantly snapped back to attention and looked in another direction in the valley.
A giant crimson python appeared in Han Li’s sight.
It exuded a terrifying demonic Aura.
Its body was thicker than a water bucket, and its pair of red eyes sent shivers down one’s spine just by looking at them.
Han Li stared at the crimson giant python.
The crimson giant python was also staring at him, one man and one python, looking at each other.
“Crimson Flame Python!”
“It specializes in poison and flame attacks.”
Relevant information appeared in Han Li’s mind.
At this moment, the Crimson Flame Python, a hundred zhang away, suddenly moved. Its thick body vanished from its original spot with extreme speed, the air exploded, and a crimson light rushed towards Han Li.
“Sizzle sizzle—”
Lightning flashed, and the Thunder God Avatar manifested behind Han Li. He threw a punch, and the massive snake body was directly sent flying.
Han Li deliberately avoided the area where the Vermillion Fruit tree grew, in case he killed the Vermillion Fruit tree, which would be a huge loss.
The valley shook, and rocks shattered.
“Whoosh—!”
A golden light flashed, followed by a terrifying Sword Shadow that descended.
“Pfft—!”
The Sword Light flickered, and in the next instant, a huge head was severed, blood gushing everywhere.
This Peak Demon King was instantly slain.
Vast Blood Qi surged into his body, and the Demonic Seed instantly sealed it.
Immediately after, Han Li waved his hand, directly putting the Crimson Flame Python’s corpse into his cosmos ring.
The next second, he arrived in front of the Vermillion Fruit tree.
Up close, Han Li could feel the energy Aura emanating from the Vermillion Fruits.
It was very strong.
Upon closer inspection, there were a total of twelve Vermillion Fruits.
Among them, the lowest age was Millennium Vermillion Fruit. Two Vermillion Fruits had the highest age.
One was an eighteen-hundred-year-old Vermillion Fruit.
One was a fifteen-hundred-year-old Vermillion Fruit.
“Hah—!”
Grabbing the Vermillion Fruit tree with one hand, Han Li’s True Qi erupted, directly uprooting the Vermillion Fruit tree.
To prevent damage to the Vermillion Fruit tree, Han Li was also very careful.
The ground shook, and a large chunk of earth, mixed with soil and the roots of the Vermillion Fruit tree, was directly pulled out by Han Li.
Afterward, Han Li used True Qi to seal the entire Vermillion Fruit tree before placing it into his cosmos ring.
On the ground, a huge pit was left behind.
Uprooted!
This Vermillion Fruit tree was also of extraordinary value. Having grown for so long, if it were replanted, there would be Vermillion Fruits to enjoy in the future.
Of course, that would take a very long time.
However, Han Li had his own secret method.
His Azure Wood Earth Emperor Skill could accelerate the growth of spiritual trees.
The stronger his True Qi, the greater the effect of accelerating growth.
However, he had not yet tried to accelerate the growth of spiritual trees.
He would put it away for now and try it slowly after he returned to the sect.
After collecting the Vermillion Fruit tree, Han Li scanned the entire valley. Finding no other gains, he then left the valley. Meanwhile, intense battles also erupted in various parts of the Space-Time Medicinal Garden.
Beside Heaven And Earth Treasures, there were inevitably demons guarding them. To obtain Heaven And Earth Treasures, one must eliminate the demons.
Furthermore, the inability to use Magic Treasures limited the strength of most Martial Artists.
If Magic Treasures were not used, demons of the same Realm would basically have the upper hand.
Not every Martial Artist could fight demons bare-handed like Han Li.
The Space-Time Medicinal Garden had many treasures, but it also posed great dangers.
A bloody Aura permeated the air.
Some weaker Martial Artists not only failed to obtain Heaven And Earth Treasures but also lost their lives to demons. “The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi here is so rich, there should be a Spiritual Vein, right?”
Standing on a hillside, a thought emerged in Han Li’s mind.
Such dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi must be stimulated by a Spiritual Vein.
This place was a separate space-time, different from the Great World of mortals.
Without a Spiritual Vein, this place would be a dead land.
It would also be impossible to nurture so many Heaven And Earth Treasures.
Heaven And Earth Treasures have a great demand for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
The more powerful the Heaven And Earth Treasure, the greater the demand.
However, the Spiritual Qi here was extremely dense everywhere, making it difficult for Han Li to discern the hidden location of the Spiritual Vein even with the Azure Wood Earth Emperor Skill.
Closing his eyes, Han Li circulated the Azure Wood Earth Emperor Skill, delving deep into the earth, sensing heaven and earth.
Vaguely, a phantom appeared in his mind, a phantom that flashed and disappeared.
As if it were just an illusion.
Opening his eyes, Han Li looked into the distance. Just now, trying to sense deeper, he caught a trace of a Spiritual Vein, but it quickly vanished.
The powerful Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi interfered with him.
This was not just one Spiritual Vein.
But many Spiritual Veins existed.
However, Spiritual Veins were not dead; they were active and good at hiding.
Unless it was an exceptionally powerful Spiritual Vein, its movements could not be hidden.
“Whoosh—!”
Activating his Kun Peng Wings, Han Li flapped his wings, transforming into a golden light that vanished into the Void Realm.
Hundreds of miles in a breath.
Han Li instantly arrived at another place.
Here, surrounded by mountains on all sides, was filled with powerful Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
In the air, dense spiritual mist had almost formed.
A misty expanse; this was a special phenomenon that could only form when Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi reached a certain level of intensity.
Looking around, Han Li gazed into the depths of the spiritual mist. Vaguely, a purple light blossomed.
A powerful Aura emanated from it.
Han Li’s spirit was invigorated.
He cautiously approached.
Within the spiritual mist, the purple glowing object appeared in his sight.
“This is…”
“longevity divine medicine, purple lotus heavenly flower!”
Looking at the purple glowing object not far away, Han Li’s heart pounded fiercely.
purple lotus heavenly flower.
Good heavens.
This was the longevity divine medicine he had encountered at the auction.
One purple lotus heavenly flower could grant a thousand years of lifespan, and it also contained powerful energy, aiding in the improvement of one’s Cultivation.
However, what was more important was gaining a thousand years of lifespan.
A thousand years of lifespan, what a great temptation this was.
Han Li, having now broken through to the Peak of the Acquired Realm, only had a lifespan of a little over two hundred years.
This was unchangeable.
A purple lotus heavenly flower, granting a thousand years of lifespan, was encountered right here.
The Guardian Demon Spirit had said there was longevity divine medicine here, but Han Li hadn’t held too much hope.
After all, such things were rare.
But now, it was right before him.
“There’s a Restriction…”
After his initial excitement, Han Li quickly regained his composure.
The purple lotus heavenly flower was covered by a powerful Restriction.
To obtain the purple lotus heavenly flower, he had to break through the Restriction.
“Roar—!”
And just at this moment, a roar came from deep within the spiritual mist.
Han Li looked towards the source of the roar.
It was a colossal giant ape.
Earth-Rending Golden Ape!
Its entire body was covered in golden fur, exuding a powerful Aura.
It was also a demon in the Peak of the Acquired Realm.
Moreover, its Aura was far more terrifying than the giant python he had encountered earlier.
It was normal for such a powerful Demon King to be present beside longevity divine medicine.
“Human, begone!”
A low voice sounded, and the Earth-Rending Golden Ape let out an angry roar.
“Clang—!”
A Sword Cry resounded, and a sky-high Sword Intent rose from Han Li’s body.
Without another word, he directly unleashed the Taiqing Shadowless Swordplay and charged towards the Earth-Rending Golden Ape.
With the Taiqing Sword Intent empowered, one sword contained extreme Divine Might.
The purple lotus heavenly flower was guarded by a powerful Restriction, so Han Li was not worried about it being destroyed or damaged.
“Whoosh—!”
The Sword Shadow pierced through the Void Realm. Although he did not use a Magic Treasure, his current strength, when unleashed, had unimaginable power.
“Roar—!”
The Earth-Rending Golden Ape sensed the terrifying Sword Qi, roared, and instantly unleashed a powerful golden light around its body, enveloping it completely.
“Boom—!”
However, in the next second, Han Li’s Sword Shadow, imbued with extreme Sword Intent, directly shattered the Earth-Rending Golden Ape’s defense, instantly piercing through its body.
Blood gushed out, but it wasn't fatal.
Han Li flashed, getting close directly. His Overlord Body Golden Body was activated, powerful light blossomed, and with one punch, he directly slammed into the Earth-Rending Golden Ape’s body.
“Bang!!”
The huge body was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the ground like a meteor.
In terms of strength, Han Li held an absolute advantage.
Over six million jun of strength swept away all Peak of the Acquired Realm demon Martial Artists.
Complete suppression!
However, this fellow’s vitality was also extremely tenacious; even after taking a fatal punch, it had not completely died.
But Han Li would not give it a chance to breathe.
Hundreds of Sword Shadows appeared, and his will merged into one, forming a heaven-shattering Sword Shadow.
“Heaven and Earth Fall!”
A sword descended ferociously, severing the Earth-Rending Golden Ape’s head, and hot blood splattered everywhere.
Even with the tenacious vitality of a Demon King, with its head severed, it was completely dead.
Blood Qi emerged, surged into his body, and was sealed.
Smooth and seamless, all in one go.
Han Li exhaled, and together with the Earth-Rending Golden Ape’s corpse, he put it into his cosmos ring.
But just at this moment, footsteps came from not far away.
“purple lotus heavenly flower!”
Within the spiritual mist, a burly man looked at the object emitting purple divine light in front of him, and his pupils instantly contracted.
“Hahahahaha, I’ve hit the jackpot!”
The big man let out a laugh, but the next second, his laughter abruptly stopped.
“Pfft—!”
His chest was pierced, his heart directly penetrated, a sword shadow like a divine sword passed through the big man's chest.
He lowered his head with difficulty, watching the gradually disappearing sword shadow, his consciousness sinking.
In the last second of his sinking, he saw a figure in green robes.
"Han Li..."
The last name appeared in his consciousness, and the big man's body fell to the ground with a thud.
Han Li's figure appeared in front of the dead big man.
He wouldn't kill for ordinary Heaven And Earth Treasure, but a purple lotus heavenly flower was different.
If this were to spread, he would inevitably be targeted by God Realm giants.
Instantly killing those at the Peak of the Acquired Realm and sweeping through the Innate Realm, but facing a God Realm expert, even if Han Li went all out, he would be no match.
Only dead men can keep all secrets.
Taking out the hundred treasure sack and putting it into his own, Han Li raised his hand, and golden flames appeared, falling on the big man's corpse, instantly incinerating it completely.
Immediately, Han Li came before this purple lotus heavenly flower.
"Bang--!"
He threw a punch, and a majestic force surged out like an overwhelming tide.
But before it could even get close to the purple lotus heavenly flower, an invisible layer of light bloomed, and Han Li's punch, weighing several million jun, was easily blocked.
A wave of light bloomed.
Like ripples on the water, it stirred and quickly returned to calm.
After testing this invisible Restriction, Han Li felt that the power of this Restriction was very strong.
He feared that ordinary Peak of the Acquired Realm Martial Artist could only watch.
And he couldn't use Magic Treasure.
He could only rely on his own Cultivation to break through the Restriction barrier.
His seemingly ordinary punch, even if an ordinary Peak of the Acquired Realm Martial Artist unleashed their full power, would not be able to block it.
"Roar--!"
A clear and pleasant Dragon roar sounded.
Behind Han Li, eight Azure Dragons materialized, their Aura turbulent, and the surrounding spiritual mist was directly shattered.
They merged into one, forming a golden Divine Seal, which slammed into the barrier of the purple lotus heavenly flower.
"Boom---!!!"
Ten miles vibrated, and the land collapsed.
The invisible barrier emitted a strong light, resisting Han Li's attack.
"Break for me!"
With a low roar, Han Li unleashed all his True Qi, veins bulging on his arms, increasing his strength as he slammed into the barrier.
"Crack--!"
After dozens of breaths, suddenly, a cracking sound rang out, and Han Li instantly sensed it, retracting all his power.
The Restriction barrier collapsed, and luckily, he retracted his power in time, otherwise, the purple lotus heavenly flower would have been ruined.
Brilliant purple light shone.
Ten petals bloomed with powerful purple light.
Han Li's breathing quickened by three points.
Wrapped in True Qi, he carefully picked the purple lotus heavenly flower. Immediately, he took out a jade box, placed the acquired purple lotus heavenly flower into the jade box, sealed it with True Qi, and put it into his cosmos ring. Han Li finally let out a long sigh of relief.
The longevity divine medicine was in his hands.
This also meant that his thousand years of lifespan were also in his hands.
After collecting the purple lotus heavenly flower, Han Li took a step and disappeared from his original spot.
Following the Spiritual Vein, he unexpectedly discovered the purple lotus heavenly flower. This was a huge surprise... Time-Space Medicine Garden.
At one location, Han Li's figure stood on a hillside, his gaze fixed on the front.
After searching for half a day, he finally located a Spiritual Vein.
It was deeply hidden. If he hadn't used his Azure Wood Earth Emperor Skill with all his might to sense it, he might have missed it.
"Still trying to run? Stay!"
Han Li's True Qi instantly erupted, transforming into a golden great handprint, which slammed into a mountain hollow ahead.
"Boom!!!"
Rocks shattered, and vegetation was destroyed.
A three-zhang-long spiritual light appeared in his eyes, twisting like a spiritual python.
It was indeed a Spiritual Vein!
"Swish--!"
In an instant, Han Li arrived in front of this three-zhang-long Spiritual Vein.
Besides the Spiritual Vein, a large area of Spirit Stones also appeared around it.
Han Li's True Qi erupted, fully sealing off this Spiritual Vein.
"Suppress!"
He formed a hand seal, and several spiritual lights bloomed, striking into the Spiritual Vein.
The next second, the constantly vibrating Spiritual Vein finally stabilized.
"Although it's only a Low Grade Spiritual Vein, I've still struck it rich."
Han Li's eyes gleamed as he instantly collected this Spiritual Vein into his cosmos ring.
At the same time, Han Li looked at the vast expanse of Spirit Stones around him.
These were Spirit Stones nurtured by the Spiritual Vein.
Although they were all Low-Grade Spirit Stones, their value was still astonishing.
"Buzz!!"
Sword shadows appeared behind him. Hundreds of sword shadows, under Han Li's control, quickly began to excavate the Spirit Stones.
In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Han Li completely excavated all the Spirit Stones in the area.
A deep pit also appeared on the ground.
"There are probably a million Low-Grade Spirit Stones... Not bad."
Han Li roughly tallied them, feeling refreshed.
Of course, compared to a million Spirit Stones, the Spiritual Vein was more important.
Spiritual Veins are formed by the condensation of the essence of the earth, and he needs them greatly for Cultivating the Azure Wood Earth Emperor Skill. This way, he can advance his Cultivation faster.
However, Han Li currently did not intend to absorb it all at once.
It was only a Low Grade Spiritual Vein; if he swallowed it all at once, it would be a waste.
There should be more Spiritual Veins here.
He would talk about other things after he had harvested them.
If not, he would still thoroughly absorb it.
Spiritual Veins can nurture Spirit Stones, but that cannot be done in a short time.
It requires a very long time.
After collecting this Spiritual Vein, Han Li continued to move into the distance... A few days passed quickly.
Han Li's harvest was also enormous; he acquired many kinds of Heaven And Earth Treasure.
Although he didn't encounter any other longevity divine medicine, it was still a great harvest.
He also killed many demons, more than a dozen Peak of the Acquired Realm demons in a few days.
Han Li was unsure what stage the accumulated blood Qi had reached.
However, after this trip, his strength would undoubtedly be even more terrifying.
The gap between him and the God Realm magnates was also getting smaller and smaller.
He originally only passed through Baoyue Country, but he didn't expect such a great harvest.
Agreeing to the Third Prince's request to enter the ruins was an extremely wise choice at that time.
If he encountered such a situation in the future, Han Li would definitely not miss it.
Opportunity!
That was much faster than improving through arduous Cultivation!
Traveling the world was not only about broadening horizons but also about acquiring Opportunity.
If he didn't go, where would the Opportunity come from?
If he were still Cultivating in the Azure Profound Sect now, his strength might not even be half of what it was currently.
"Time is probably almost up. I'll take this chance to see if there are any more gains."
Looking into the distance, a thought flashed through Han Li's mind.
So far, he had harvested two Low Grade Spiritual Veins.
His income from Spirit Stones was also considerable.
His wealth had soared several times in a short period... In the depths of the Time-Space Medicine Garden, at the foot of a large mountain.
Several figures appeared here.
Among them was Han Li.
Besides Han Li, there were eight or nine other Martial Artist, including the three Princes.
In addition, there were also Ye Xukong and others from the Heaven and Earth Sect.
At the foot of the mountain, Han Li looked towards the mountain Peak.
A huge palace appeared in their eyes.
They had been in the Time-Space Medicine Garden for many days, and this was the first building they had encountered.
Looking at the palace on the mountain Peak, Han Li thought of the words of the guardian demon spirit.
This might be a Legacy site of Great Sage Baoxiang.
A white jade staircase led to the mountain Peak.
There were ninety-nine steps leading to the palace on the mountain Peak.
From these steps, Han Li sensed the presence of Restriction Formation Qi.
The others also sensed it.
Exchanging glances, one of the white-haired elders stepped forward first, his True Qi enveloping his entire body.
In the eyes of Han Li and his group, the moment he stepped onto the stairs, a strong light was activated.
The white-haired elder's expression was solemn, seemingly very difficult. Under the gaze of several people, it took him a long time to step onto the second step.
Light appeared, and ripples appeared in the True Qi around the white-haired elder's body. He circulated his True Qi and quickly stabilized it.
This time, he paused for more than ten breaths, and then stepped onto the third step again.
"These steps seem to contain something strange. I'll give it a try!"
Ye Xukong spoke, and then he stepped onto the white jade staircase.
Similarly, light was activated, but compared to the white-haired elder, Ye Xukong seemed more relaxed. In a few breaths, he stepped onto the second step.
Then he paused for one breath and stepped onto the third step again.
He quickly overtook the elder.
Seeing this, the others also stepped onto the white jade staircase one after another.
The stronger one's strength, the faster one's speed of crossing.
The three Princes also stepped onto the stairs.
They were even more relaxed than the others.
Han Li watched everyone step onto the white jade staircase, watched for a while, and then he also followed suit.
"Buzz--!"
The moment he stepped onto the white jade staircase, Han Li felt a heavy gravitational forceAttack.
It enveloped him completely.
However, for him, this heavy gravitational force was not a big problem. With a shake of his shoulder, Han Li stepped onto the second step.
The gravity doubled again.
Han Li's expression was normal; he did not use True Qi, resisting it entirely with his Physical Body.
"Roar--!"
Suddenly, just as Han Li stepped onto the third step, a roar suddenly sounded ahead.
Light bloomed, condensing into a giant elephant, and one person, caught off guard, was directly sent flying by the giant elephant.
"Bang--!"
This time, having just barely reached the front, he was directly blasted to the bottom layer.
Blood overflowed.
Seeing this scene, everyone was also shocked.
The step he had just landed on seemed to be the tenth step.
The previous steps did not have this change.
"Besides gravity, we will also suffer attacks!"
The expressions of several people also turned ugly.
With each step up, gravity doubled, but not only did gravity double, they would also suffer attacks.
The condensed giant elephant light faded away after blasting that Martial Artist away.
It was as if the scene just now was merely an illusion.
"It seems we cannot be careless!"
Han Li glanced at the Martial Artist who had been blasted off the steps, spitting blood and injured. He remained vigilant and continued to step onto the third step.
The gravity continued to deepen.
Han Li, however, remained calm.
Without much delay, he continued to step forward, quickly surpassing most people.
Ahead were Ye Xukong and the three Princes.
The First Prince had already stepped onto the same step as Ye Xukong.
Twelve thousand, seeking support.
