Han Li put a dozen small jade boxes with the powder aside and waved out a spell before activating the furnace array again. He then turned his hand and took out another bottle, this time it was a Rhyhope pill.

After thinking for a moment, he threw the Rhyhope pill inside the furnace and used the Reverse Pill skill again.

An hour later, the Rhyhope pill was also broken down into a dozen different materials which were also packed into jade boxes.

He put the materials of the two elixirs together and checked them in detail.

“Eh!”

After a moment, Han Li exclaimed softly, a faint smile on his face.

Comparing the materials of the two elixirs, most of them were completely different, but one of the blue grain-like powders, no matter the color or shape, was exactly the same and it was obvious that they were the same ingredient.

But the blue grain-like powder in the Rhyhope pill was much more concentrated than the Gray Cloud pill’s.

Both elixirs were useful to him. Although it might not all be the effect of the blue grain powder, it was definitely related to it.

Han Li picked up a little of the blue powder and sniffed it. Then he put it in his mouth and tasted it. After carefully identifying it, his eyebrows slowly knitted together.

Since the beginning of his cultivation, he had an indissoluble bond with alchemy. He knew more or less all kinds of alchemical materials in the human world and the Spirit Imperial World, and even dabbled in the alchemical materials from other worlds. But he had no clue about the identity of the blue grain powder in front of him.

“Perhaps this is only unique to this Spirit Imperial World?”

Han Li guessed and thought for a moment. Then, he suddenly stood up and walked out of the cavern.

It had already turned dark.

Blue light flashed past Han Li’s body and he shot out.

A moment later, he landed in front of a cavern in Luoxia peak a few kilometers away.

The location of this cavern was quite remote and there were not many people around.

Han Li looked around and walked to the entrance of the cavern. He took out a voice transmission talisman and whispered into it before waving his hand.

The talisman turned into a white light and entered the cavern.

A moment later, the door opened.

“Elder Gao, sorry to disturb you at this time,” Han Li said with his fists cupped.

“Of course not! Daoist Han, I didn’t expect to see you again so soon. Please come in.” Gao Bulin walked out with a smile and invited Han Li into the cavern.

Gao Bulin’s cavern was bigger than Han Li’s, but the furnishings were simpler and there was a strong herbal scent permeating in the cavern.

“Elder Gao, I will get to the point. I came here to ask you for some advice,” Han Li asked after sitting down.

“Daoist Han, please go ahead if you have anything to say,” Gao Bulin was slightly stunned and said politely.

Han Li took out the jade box with the blue powder and handed it over and asked, “Elder Gao is very knowledgeable about alchemical matters, so would you happen to recognize this material?”

Gao Bulin hummed and took the jade box before looking at it carefully, his eyes slightly in doubt.

He pinched a little of the powder and put it on his tongue and tasted it. His white eyebrows raised slightly and he looked at Han Li with a deep gaze.

“It seems like Elder Gao has an answer.” Han Li smiled slightly.

“Haha, Daoist Han is asking the right person regarding this matter. But…” Gao Bulin smiled meaningfully.

Han Li said nothing and took out a superior-grade spirit stone before throwing it to Gao Bulin.

Old Man Gao quickly caught the spirit stone and a trace of a smile appeared on his face. He continued, “To tell you the truth, this is actually the powder from Cloud Crane Grass. The spirit herb at a certain age is one of the main materials of several kinds of high-level elixirs and is quite rare. Your powder seems to have been treated by other means before and I was only able to recognize it because of my long years practicing alchemy and I am thus familiar with all kinds of spirit materials.”

“I see… Can Elder Gao elaborate on the properties of this Cloud Crane Grass?” Han Li nodded thoughtfully and asked.

Gao Bulin laughed mysteriously and said nothing as he innocently rubbed his hands together.

Han Li threw another superior-grade spirit stone to him.

Old Man Gao cheerfully put away the spirit stone and shook his head before saying slowly, “This Cloud Crane Grass, also known as Color Changing Grass, will appear white when it’s a hundred years old, blue when it’s a thousand years old, red when it’s ten thousand years old and purplish red when it’s over thirty thousand years old. The most special thing about this spirit herb is that it can absorb the energy of the rising sun and a Connate purple energy will be born over a hundred years. It is not only necessary for cultivating several powerful techniques, but can also be directly turned into a Connate spiritual power, which has the effect of cleansing the body. The older it is, the more pure the Connate purple energy will be and the more amazing the effect will be.”

“Innate purple energy… Where can I find this grass?” Han Li’s heart jumped.

“The cultivation and ideal environment of this grass is very harsh. As far as I know, it can only be found in a few places. These places are basically under the control of the major sects. Most of those that are over a thousand years old are in the hands of the major sects and you can’t find them outside,” Gao Bulin scratched his head and continued.

After listening to Gao Bulin’s words, Han Li’s mind had basically reached a conclusion. Most likely, that Connate purple energy would be effective in restoring his magic.

“Other than Rhyhope pills, are there any other elixirs that are made with Cloud Crane Grass?” Han Li thought and asked.

Gao Bulin did not beat around the bush and said directly, “Other than Rhyhope pill, there is also a small amount in Gray Cloud pills. The Nourishing pill and Mystery pill also contain a little Cloud Crane Grass and Connate purple energy.”

After parting ways with Gao Bulin, Han Li went to the valley and spent a piece of supreme-grade spirit stone, to buy those several kinds of elixirs mentioned and then several Cloud Crane Grass that were several hundred years old. Then, he returned to Outcloud Peak.

Inside the secret room of the cavern.

Han Li sat cross-legged on the round cushion, with the elixirs and Cloud Crane Grass he had bought displayed before him.

He first opened a white porcelain bottle and poured out a Gray Cloud pill before swallowing it. A warm current rose up in his dantian and threads of spiritual power came out from the elixir and gradually turned into magic power and restored his magic.

He was very happy and picked up a hundred year old Cloud Crane Grass before putting it in his mouth and after chewing it a few times, he swallowed it.

After ten minutes, his dantian was warm again. Threads of magic flowed into his dantian and were stored there.

The corners of Han Li’s mouth lifted, showing a smile and he finally confirmed that this Connate purple energy was indeed the key to restoring his magic.

After a day and night of this, his cultivation base gradually increased after taking more than half of the elixirs and Cloud Crane Grass he had bought and he soon recovered to the late Nascent Soul stage.

Just as he was overjoyed and ready to take all the remaining elixirs, his expression turned stiff.

At this moment, the medicine that his body had not turned into magic, slowly turned and gathered at the center of his dantian.

However, his dantian was like a bucket full of water, and could not store any more magic. He could only watch with despair as the magic power lingered in his dantian for a moment before it slowly dissipated.

Han Li sighed, knowing that this was mostly related to the abnormal change of Nascent Soul in his body. It would not help no matter how many elixirs he took.

And the reason could only be found out after his body and consciousness recovered.

It was a shame but he could no longer rely on cultivation to improve his magic, and could only recover to the late Nascent Soul stage by taking elixirs. The recovery of his body and consciousness had become his most pressing issues.

As he thought about this, he could not help but feel his head ache. Scratching his nose bridge with his fingers, he fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he thought of something and raised his head before flicking his wrist and he took out the guest Elder token.

Han Li put his divine sense into the token and the geographical distribution of the Cold Fire Sect made up of golden rays of light appeared in front of his eyes.

After searching the map for a while, his eyes finally fell on the two small characters ‘Sutra Sect’ marked on Sacred Gatherer Peak.
