Chapter 69 Elixir
Chapter 69 Elixir
Upon hearing this, Qin Fang stared at Han Li for a long while before slowly speaking:
"This method is a 'spell' passed down from my ancestors..."
"Even cultivators would find the cost extremely painful! Therefore, it's impossible for an ordinary person to gather all the materials."
"It's not entirely without a chance."
"I won't mention the other conditions, but since this Miss Mo has such a relationship with Brother Han... I might as well give it a try!"
"but……"
"This 'spell' still requires some elixirs..."
"Or, we'll use six or seven thousand-year-old spiritual herbs as the main ingredients!"
"Or... we would need more than twenty spiritual herbs that are over four hundred years old as a substitute, which would barely be enough to give birth to a spiritual root in Miss Mo's body."
"I have the other materials myself, but I don't have this elixir..."
"Besides that, there is actually another special method, but it requires extremely special spiritual herbs, often over ten thousand years old, to be used as the main ingredient!"
"However, the spiritual root produced from such rare and precious main ingredients is naturally even more extraordinary! It is the legendary Heavenly Spiritual Root."
Qin Fang said this in front of the two of them.
He planned to get some spiritual medicine from Han Li!
Even in the Chaotic Star Sea, this thing is not easy to find; in fact, it is even more difficult than in Tiannan, since the Chaotic Star Sea uses demon cores to refine pills.
Qin Fang's main focus was on spiritual herbs that were around four hundred years old.
There were only about twenty plants. If there were any more... given Han Li's cautious nature, he probably wouldn't take them out, even though Han Li still trusted him quite a bit.
If all else fails, six or seven thousand-year-old medicinal herbs will do!
It's not impossible for Han Li to choose this exchange condition, after all, more than twenty spiritual herbs are still too many. What kind of good person would carry so many spiritual herbs with them?
For a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator, having even two or three centuries-old spiritual herbs is already considered a stroke of good fortune.
As for the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb, Qin Fang was just mentioning it casually. He doesn't have a single Heavenly Spiritual Root at all! Even if Han Li really took out the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb, Qin Fang still wouldn't be able to bestow the 'Heavenly Spiritual Root' upon Mo Caihuan.
The reason I say this is because I'm preparing for the future!
When Han Li needs to enhance his spiritual root in the future, he will definitely think of me first. At that time, I can use this as an excuse to ask for whatever kind of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual medicine I need.
Now he brought the ancient elixir... but it's of no use.
That's too high-end; he has no need for it.
Of course, as long as Han Li isn't insane, he can't possibly produce a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb. Unless Han Li completely trusts him, he would never reveal a single detail about it. Even if he were to accelerate the growth of a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb, it would be no difficulty for Han Li at all.
"The consumption is so great!"
Han Li was surprised.
"After all, it's defying the heavens..."
"This is granting a mortal the spiritual root they've always dreamed of, all for nothing!"
"If I didn't know Brother Han quite well, I would never have dared to speak of this method so casually."
Qin Fang said.
Upon hearing this, Han Li did not feel that Qin Fang was lying to him.
In his view, if such a heaven-defying method could really be accomplished with just one or two ordinary spiritual herbs, he would suspect that Qin Fang had ulterior motives.
Upon closer examination, this method of obtaining spiritual roots, which only requires such a small amount of spiritual medicine, is already a very small price to pay.
If he didn't possess spiritual roots, and yet encountered such a heaven-defying method to change his fate, even if the cost were several times higher, Han Li would probably still give it a try.
"However, this method is just talk..."
"If Miss Mo is interested in this, she could try to collect some medicinal herbs."
"As long as there are enough medicinal herbs, I'll do it for Brother Han's sake..."
Qin Fang spoke to Mo Caihuan with an air of utter ease.
"but!"
"This matter must not be revealed to anyone else!"
"Once I leave this place, I will not admit to this even if others ask me about it!"
Qin Fang then added a warning.
Although the spiritual root he was given was so ineffective during cultivation that it was appalling, Qin Fang didn't want to cause any more trouble.
Who knows what kind of trouble this will cause me?
"Brother Qin is joking..."
"How could we mortals possibly have collected such a large quantity of spiritual herbs?"
"To us mortals, this method is nothing but castles in the air and nonsense."
As Mo Caihuan spoke with a wry smile, the originally bright light in her eyes dimmed considerably.
Seeing this, Han Li felt quite uncomfortable.
For some reason… Han Li almost immediately spoke up: “Junior Brother Qin, if I could obtain the necessary spiritual herbs?”
"I wonder what kind of spiritual root seven or eight spiritual herbs can be transformed into?"
"Twenty? What kind of spiritual root is that?!"
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Han Li felt a little regretful, but since he had already said them, there was no reason for him to take them back.
Han Li made up his mind. Taking out so many spiritual herbs now would indeed be too conspicuous, but it would be much more appropriate to show some willingness first and then bring the herbs to ask for help later.
Perhaps every three to five years?
Then, they can use the excuse that they have searched extensively and finally found enough elixirs.
Even though this is still somewhat abrupt, it is at least much better than directly producing the elixir now.
To Han Li, a few spiritual herbs were nothing! He didn't care about them at all; it would just take a little more time to ripen them using the mysterious little bottle.
Putting everything else aside, he can now meet all the conditions that Qin Fang needs, and even have more than enough.
"Hmm~"
"It's probably three or four spiritual roots..."
"There isn't much difference between the spiritual roots obtained through the two methods!"
"But judging from Brother Han's words, are you planning to directly offer assistance?"
Qin Fang glanced at his current inventory, which included a three-attribute spiritual root of 'fire, wood, and earth', and then spoke.
"After all, she called me 'senior brother'..."
Han Li naturally refused to reveal too much.
"Oh, I see."
"It seems Brother Han is quite wealthy~ So you must have some spiritual herbs by now? If you didn't have any, given your personality, you probably wouldn't even ask."
"The reason I mentioned such a large quantity of elixirs earlier..."
"This is because some of my losses were also included in the calculation. After all, although I was willing to contribute, the other materials I prepared were also quite valuable."
"If Brother Han could produce half the quantity of the spiritual herbs right now, we could start the altar immediately!"
"As for the rest, you can pay me back slowly in the future."
Seeing that Han Li didn't seem to be planning to make a deal right now, Qin Fang prepared to add fuel to the fire.
He knew very well how cautious Han Li was!
What if he comes back to me to do business several years later? I can't just wait for years, can I?
You should know... the next step is to cultivate the Nine Dragons Suppressing Meridian Technique, the second meridian! Therefore, a few spiritual herbs are needed as aids in body refining.
Searching elsewhere is too difficult; perhaps we should try to find a solution through Han Li.
This is why Qin Fang spoke about spiritual roots; besides wanting to see how far Mo Caihuan could go, it was also because he really needed spiritual herbs.
