After erasing Wilson memory,harry caught up with Lyric Xavier and the others and reunited with them. He simply mentioned the previous events in passing, and naturally, the others did not ask any more questions. Then, the group continued to look for the elixir needed for the mission.
Harry was hanging at the back of the team. He looked normal, but in fact most of his attention was focused on the newly acquired jade slip. He was now carefully considering the authenticity and feasibility of the information recorded in the jade slip.
Looking through the personal experiences of the fifteen previous and current masters of the sect on the jade slips, not one of them had ever obtained the orchid bonewood flower that was more than a thousand years old. Moreover, they had all taken the petals of the orchid bonewood flower they were building their foundation, opening their own acupoints to cooperate with their dantian in cultivation.
According to their experience, orchid bone wood flower that is more than eight hundred years old cannot be taken directly, otherwise the enormous vitality will burst the cultivator directly. It needs to be used together with some spiritual medicines with mild medicinal properties. Among these spiritual medicines with mild medicinal properties, Herb Spirit
has the best effect.
This Herb Spirit does not have much effect when used alone, but it can be added to the refining of almost any elixir to balance its complex medicinal properties and greatly improve the success rate of elixir refining.
Since it only takes 30 years for the Herb Spirit to achieve this effect, there are very few Herb Spirits with a longer age in the world of cultivation. Most of them are picked by cultivators at the age of 30 for use in alchemy. However, the jade slip records that in order to neutralize the strong medicinal properties of the Orchid BoneWood flower that is more than 800 years old, a Herb Spirit that is at least 300 years old is needed.
Harry was not too worried about this, because he was in the Sealed Forest at the moment. He might not be able to find the Herb Spirit with such a long age in the outside world, but it was not certain here. What really made him hesitant was whether the record in the jade slip was feasible? Because except for some of the facts, most of what was said above was the result of speculation based on experience, especially the part he needed, which had never been tried before and was just a guess.
Just when he was struggling over whether to give it a try, Lyric Xavier in front of him suddenly pointed at a hidden rotten tree and said, "Look there!"
The group of people immediately perked up and looked over, but they were all disappointed after seeing it. "I thought it was some extraordinary elixir, but it turned out to be Herb Spirit. Brother Lyric, you can't have never seen Herb Spirit before, right?"
"Hey, don't be anxious. Take a closer look first. How many lines are there on this herb's spiritual leaf?" Lyric was not angry at all and still had a smile on his face.
"Hey, let me see," he said, and immediately the others also found something wrong. After a closer look, everyone shouted, "There are actually six lines! Doesn't this mean that the medicine is six hundred years old?"
But the excitement didn't last long, and everyone calmed down again. "But this Herb Spirit only serves to neutralize the medicinal properties. So what if it's a little older?"
"That's true. If it were any other spiritual medicine, with such a long age, the medicinal properties would have increased to a very considerable level. But this herb has been growing for so long, I really can't think of any other value it has."
At this moment, Harry, who was standing behind everyone, suddenly stepped forward and picked up the herb. "Why don't you give this herb to me? It just so happens that I have had some good fortune recently. I have felt that my bottleneck has been loosened. I am preparing to find a place to retreat for a few months and refine a furnace of elixirs to break through the bottleneck."
"Congratulations, Brother wales!" Lyric Xavier was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and turned to look at everyone, "Since Brother harry is about to break through the bottleneck, why not give this Herb Spirit to Brother harry? If Brother harry can successfully break through and increase his strength, it will be a good thing for us!"
Everyone agreed immediately. Harry was not polite. After putting away the Herb Spirit, he smiled and said, "In this case, I will go find a secret place and temporarily retreat to break through the bottleneck. I will come back to meet you after I come out."
"That's great, but Brother Wales, please remember to take precautions when you're in seclusion. It's not very peaceful here." Lyric Xavier gave a kind reminder.
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Lyric. I will be separated from you all for a while." After saying that, Harry said goodbye to everyone one by one, and then left alone again.
"Do you think that Brother harry really went into seclusion?"
"There's no need to ask any more questions about this. No matter what tricks he plays, as long as it doesn't involve us, it's fine."
"That's true. Let's go. We still have a lot of elixirs to find. We have to hurry up. Three years is not too short, but it's not too long either!"
Afterwards, the few of them stopped discussing his affairs and focused on the task of finding the elixir, temporarily forgetting about him.
However, he was still hesitating whether he should give it a try, but he did not expect that the herb spirit that was more than three hundred years old mentioned in the jade slip would suddenly appear in front of him.
It seemed as if there was God's will in the dark. Looking at the herb that was six hundred years old, he finally made up his mind, threw away all his hesitations, and decided to try the method recorded in the jade slip.
After leaving the crowd, Harry moved forward all the way, relying on his powerful spiritual sense to avoid other cultivators, and returned to the small waterfall just now. At this moment, the place had already returned to normal, and there was no sign that several cultivators and a blue-lined python had died here before.
Looking around, He nodded with satisfaction. This place was a good place for temporary retreat. He strolled towards the pool under the waterfall. He walked on the water to the center of the pool. Then, ripples appeared under his feet and he sank silently into the water.
After reaching the bottom of the water, harry did not stop, but continued to sink into the mud. He then performed an earth escape technique, and the mud around him suddenly slowly squirmed away. In less than a few breaths, a space of several feet in radius appeared out of thin air. Then he took out several spirit stones and set up a defensive magic circle. After a brief inspection, he sat cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing, preparing for the final adjustments before retreat.
After about a few hours, He felt that he was fully prepared. He did not delay any longer and took out the orchid bone wood and the herb spirit and placed them in front of him. He took a deep breath and reached out to pick a petal from each of the two spiritual medicines. His expression condensed, and then he put the two petals into his mouth together.
