Chapter Twenty: Extracting Marrow Pill

  Having left the mountain cliff for quite a distance, he could still faintly hear their quarrelsome voices. How these people would eventually settle the dispute between Wang Dabao and Zhang Changgui was no longer of concern to Han Li.

  As soon as he thought of Jin Dongbao standing still and stunned, he couldn't help but want to burst out laughing. At this moment, he felt his mood become much lighter, no longer having the depressed feeling he had in the valley.

  He walked out of the pine forest and headed further away, after walking for a while, a small stream appeared in front of him.

  Han Li looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, then lowered his head to glance at the clear water flowing slowly in the small stream, thinking that washing up a bit in the stream was not a bad idea.

  As he bent down and just inserted his hands into the cool creek water, a wave of painful moans came from upstream.

  Han Li was astonished, there were people in such a remote place.

  He followed the moaning sound and searched upstream of the creek, where a person wearing an inner door disciple's attire was facing downwards, lying by the creek and constantly convulsing his body, with his limbs also trembling uncontrollably.

  Han Li could see at a glance that this disciple was suffering from an acute illness, and if he didn't lend a hand, his life would be in danger.

  He took a step forward, pulled out a sandalwood box from his bosom, opened it and took out a few shiny silver needles, which he quickly inserted into the acupoints on the man's back.

  He quickly finished the acupuncture points on his back and turned the man's entire body over, preparing to go again to prick the acupoints in front of his chest.

  As he turned around, the person's face was revealed. Han Li took a deep breath of cold air. This critically injured person was none other than "Lethal Brother" who had just displayed his divine might on the mountain cliff.

  Han Li was stunned for a moment, and then carefully observed that face he had seen not long ago.

  At this moment, Lishi brother was no longer the one who had just defeated his opponent with a heroic and invincible demeanor. His originally cold face was twisted into a ball due to pain, and white foam kept flowing out of the corner of his mouth. It was clear that Lishi brother was already in a state of confusion due to severe pain.

  Han Li regained his composure, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly used the silver needle in his hand to rapidly prick himself all over his body, continuously pricking dozens of needles. When he finished pricking the last needle, Han Li wiped away the beads of sweat that had formed on his forehead and let out a long breath. This silver needle emergency treatment was also a considerable burden for him.

  When Elder Li's entire body was covered with silver needles shining brightly, he finally woke up and regained his consciousness.

  "You are..." He struggled to say something, but his strength was insufficient, and he couldn't get out the next few words.

  "I'm from Shen Shou Valley, don't speak anymore, rest and recover your strength first. I can only save you for the time being, this illness is very strange, probably only Mo Daifu can cure it, unfortunately he's not on the mountain now." Han Li took Lei Shi Xiong's pulse and furrowed his brow.

  "Medicine...in..." Brother Li's face turned anxious, his lips trembling a few times, wanting to lift up his arm to say something, but failed.

  "Do you have medicine on you to cure your illness?" Han Li immediately understood his meaning and asked in a questioning tone.

  "En..." Lishi brother saw that he understood his meaning, and only then did he relax his expression, nodding heavily.

  Han Li was also not polite, and started searching him. He found many miscellaneous items on him, among which a small white jade bottle was picked out. This bottle was so valuable, and the seal was so good, it must be what he was looking for.

  He picked up the bottle and turned back to look at Lishi's expression. As expected, he was now beaming with joy, frantically blinking his eyelids.

  Han Li opened the bottle cap, unexpectedly, there was no medicinal fragrance wafting out, but instead a strong pungent smell rushed out of the bottle.

  As soon as Han Li smelled the odor, his face turned ugly, and he carefully poured out a pink pill from inside. The pill was plump and looked good, but it emitted such an unpleasant smell, which was really unbelievable.

  "Is this the pill?" Han Li's face returned to calmness.

  Lishi brother was so anxious that he couldn't speak, and could only blink his eyelids.

  "Spinal Tap Pill, made from a combination of 23 rare items including Orchid, Scorpion Tail Flower, and Hundred Year Blue Ant Egg... After refinement, the pill appears pink in color with an unusual pungent smell. When consumed, it can greatly tap into one's hidden potential, allowing them to use their future lifespan to enhance their current abilities. Is what I said correct?"

  Han Li looked at Lü Shi-xiong with a cold gaze and said the words above, one by one, in an unquestionable tone.

  Lethal brother's face immediately turned pale and bloodless upon hearing Han Li's words, revealing a flustered expression.

  "This medicine, once taken, must be retaken at regular intervals, and one has to endure inhuman suffering of muscle spasms. If not taken, the consequences are either total paralysis or loss of life. Even if the medication is taken on time every time, within ten years after the first dose, one will still lose their life due to over-expenditure of life." Han Li continued.

  "Don't tell me this pill in my hand is not an aphrodisiac." Han Li said with a pause.

  Lethal Brother's face had already shown a desperate expression of being exposed, but his eyes still revealed an unbelievable and extremely surprised feeling.

  "Aren't you surprised that this pill is extremely rare, how did I recognize it?" Han Li saw the doubt in his heart and changed the subject to himself.

  "It's actually very simple, I've also taken one of these pills before."

  Han Li's words shocked Tian Xing, one sentence that made Leng Shizun thoroughly stunned, but then revealed an expression of disbelief.

  "My method of taking this medicine is different from yours, I only took one pill and divided it into ten portions, taking it in ten times, each time using it as a guide for other medicines, so there was no harm to my body. Because the appearance of this pill and its emitted smell are too different, I have a very deep impression of this medicine, I always thought that except for the one I took, no one else should take this kind of secret medicine in the world, unexpectedly, there is one person in our school."

  After saying these words, Han Li looked at Lü Shi with a gaze that was both admiring and pitiful.

  Lishi didn't want to meet Han Li's gaze, so he lightly closed his eyes, but his chest rose and fell irregularly, indicating that his mood was very turbulent.

  "You've been taking this medicine for many years, haven't you? If you stop taking it now, I can ask Dr. Mo to prescribe another secret medicine for you. Although it can't restore your full lifespan, it can still extend your life by 20-30 years. However, your martial arts skills will be lost. If you continue taking this medicine, judging from the symptoms you're experiencing today, you'll at most live for another 5-6 years. Of course, within these few years, your martial arts skills will progress faster and faster, much more so than your current rate of improvement. Since you dare to take such a secret medicine, I suppose you're also a resolute person. You can decide what to do with your own body. Will you continue taking this medicine or throw it away?"
