Chapter 27: Spirit Medicine

  Before Mo Dafu returned to the mountain, Han Li knew that using this bottle in Shengshou Valley was temporarily safe. Because there was only one person in the entire valley, and no outsiders would normally enter the valley, it ensured that nothing unexpected would happen during this period, so he could use the small bottle with peace of mind.

  Han Li estimated that Mo Daifu would take a long time to return to the mountain, and he thought it was impossible to find good medicinal materials in the nearby areas. He was afraid that Mo Daifu had to go to more distant places to search for them, probably to those deep mountains and old forests where people rarely set foot. Only in such remote places could they hope to obtain some rare medicinal materials. However, with the round trip and the time spent searching for medicinal materials along the way, it would take at least almost a year before Mo Daifu could hurry back to the mountain.

  It's been almost half a year since Mo Dafu went down the mountain, and it's estimated that he'll be back at Qixuanmen in about six or seven months. In these days before his return, Han Li only had to try his best to cultivate as many useful herbs as possible, and obtain medicinal materials according to several precious formulas he knew, without blindly wasting these green liquids.

  Han immediately set out to make these medicines that help increase power and break through bottlenecks, which were the best sacred medicines that Mo Dafu had wanted to prepare before but couldn't gather all the necessary medicinal materials. Each one of them was a rare treasure that could make an ordinary family go bankrupt or make Jianghu people fight to the death for it.

  Even Mo Dafu's superb medical skills had never seen any of these medicinal concoctions, let alone personally made them. It was a known fact that although Mo Dafu grasped the preparation methods for these sacred medicines, without the necessary herbs in hand, he could only sigh to the heavens.

  Han Li was interested in these rare formulas when he studied medicine with Mo Daifu. Although he had never hoped to be able to prepare these precious medicines himself, he still remembered many of the formulas. Mo Daifu also had an attitude of not caring about Han Li's study of these formulas, and as long as Han Li asked, he would tell him in detail without any intention of hiding anything. Probably Mo Daifu also thought that these formulas were like chicken ribs, which were tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.

  Now these formulas have become Han Li's top priority, he carefully and conscientiously follows the required medicinal materials of various years to decoct the herbal medicine, not daring to relax for a moment. He knows that the time left for him is limited, and he must rush to prepare the medicines before Mu Dafu returns, then seal the bottles and never use them again on the mountain.

  Han Likuo had no confidence that he could use the small bottle in front of Mo Dafu without revealing his secret, and he was very clear that Mo Dafu was a very astute person. He didn't have any intention of telling Mo Dafu the secret of the bottle.

  Han Li felt that his relationship with Mo Daifu was very unusual, far from being as simple as a normal master-disciple relationship.

  Mo often looked at him with a peculiar gaze, making Han Li feel that the other had some secret unfavorable to himself hidden, especially in the past year or two, Han Li's feeling became even stronger. This made it impossible for Han Li and Mo to be as close as ordinary master and apprentice, without any secrets between them.

  Mo's master was actually quite good to him in everyday life, never beating or scolding him, and went all out to create the best conditions for his cultivation of incantations. However, there seemed to be a layer of estrangement between them, always an awkward atmosphere floating around.

  Mo Dafu was clearly aware of the existence of this rift, but he had no intention of mending the relationship between teacher and disciple. He just did what he wanted to do, only urging Han Li to speed up his practice of the incantation. However, when he looked at Han Li, the strange gaze that used to contain a hint of weirdness seemed to have gradually diminished, and it had been a long time since it was last revealed.

  But Han Lim's keen intuition vaguely told himself that the other party had not really given up on his intentions, but had cleverly concealed his desires, making Dr. Han even more vigilant. In this situation, how could he dare to let the other party know the secret of the bottle?

  Han Li learned a lesson from many historical books: "Don't have the heart to harm others, but don't lack the heart to guard against them."

  It doesn't matter whether Mo Dafu is really hostile to him or if it's just his own misjudgment, being vigilant towards Mo Dafu can never be a bad thing. If Mo Dafu indeed has ill intentions towards him, being on guard can help him avoid getting hurt. And if it's just his own intuition that's wrong, there's nothing wrong with being more alert either. He himself wouldn't take the initiative to do anything disloyal or unfilial, Han Li is still Mo Dafu's good disciple and will properly fulfill a disciple's filial duties.

  Han Li thought about this and still felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart, he and Mo Da's strange master-disciple relationship was probably the only one of its kind within the Seven Great Sects, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

  The bottle must not be used again after Mo Daifu returns, this is certain. To know that there is no wall in the world that does not leak wind, even if he is lucky enough to not be discovered by Mo Daifu, it may still be exposed by others from the Seven Mysteries Gate, so it's best to put it away and pretend nothing happened.

  Han Li had made all the necessary arrangements and had also made up his mind to secretly store the bottle away, not using it lightly again. With a sense of relief, he fell asleep in a daze on his bed.

  In the following months, Han Li secretly used the green liquid in the bottle to cultivate a large batch of precious medicinal materials. He used these materials to prepare many rare and precious medicines according to the formula, but there were also many failures during the preparation process. Each failure made Han Li feel painful for a long time, because the materials used to make these medicines were all extremely rare and precious, and each failure represented an unknown amount of silver being wasted. However, this couldn't be blamed on him, as it was everyone's first time preparing these formulas, and a few failures were inevitable. Even if Mo Daifu came to prepare these medicines himself, he would also have one or two accidents. Han Li could only comfort himself in this way.

  "Huang Long Dan" "Qing Ling San" "Jin Suo Wan" "Yang Jing Dan", these rare and precious medicines that are hard to come by, were all placed in a dozen small bottles, one by one, in front of Han Li. Han Li looked at these medicine bottles, his face also filled with joy, with these spiritual medicines, he wouldn't have to exert too much effort to cultivate not only the fourth layer of the incantation, but also the fifth and sixth layers.

  Among these medicines, "Huanglong Dan" and "Jinmi Wan" are the most helpful for his practice, both of which have the wonderful effects of increasing power and transforming bones. The "Qingling San" is a rare antidote in the world that can detoxify thousands of deadly poisons. Finally, the "Yangjing Dan" is a kind of spiritual medicine that has an amazing effect on internal and external injuries. No matter how serious the internal and external injuries are, as long as you take this medicine, even if it cannot bring people back to life or immediately heal the injury, it can also greatly reduce the severity of the injury and save lives.
