Chapter 221: Heavenly Star Sect and Magic Formation
The spiritual eye artifacts were so miraculous that cultivators pursuing the Heavenly Dao went crazy over them! Every time a spiritual eye artifact appeared, it would cause a bloody storm in the local immortal cultivation world!
However, in the current immortal cultivation world of Yue Country, these spiritual eye artifacts had long since fallen into the hands of the Seven Great Sects. After all, even if a small sect got hold of these treasures, it would only be courting extinction.
For example, Yellow Maple Valley possessed one Spirit Eye Stone, three Spirit Eye Springs, and several other spiritual eye artifacts. They were all shamelessly divided among several cultivators above the core formation stage. Even Great Sect Leader Zhong had no chance of owning one.
Of course, the elder ancestor at the nascent soul stage naturally took the largest share.
Now, Han Li never expected that by just bringing along an ordinary double-eyed rat and spending more than a day, he could so easily find a spiritual eye artifact nearby.
Although it was only the lowest-grade spirit eye artifact—a tiny spirit eye spring—and its effect was probably very limited, a spiritual eye artifact was still a spiritual eye artifact. At the very least, it allowed faster cultivation than ordinary spiritual eye locations! Even if it only increased cultivation speed by half, that was still a good thing!
However, while Han Li was pleasantly surprised, he was also a bit puzzled.
Wasn't it said that spiritual eye artifacts should only form where spiritual energy was most concentrated? But the spiritual energy around this mountain peak was not very dense! Could such a thing form here? Moreover, it was such a miniature spirit spring, making Han Li both delighted and somewhat regretful.
But since a big pie had dropped from the sky, Han Li naturally would not let it go.
Although the spirit eye spring could be moved, only core formation stage cultivators had such ability, and Han Li did not yet. So, naturally, he decided to establish his secluded mansion here and reserve this spirit spring cave as his secret training chamber, to keep it hidden.
Han Li immediately expanded the passage he had carved out.
Wielding the Silver Sword in one hand and controlling several Golden Blades with the other, Han Li undertook the great task of opening up the secluded mansion. Meanwhile, the double-eyed rat dove straight into the spirit spring and refused to come out, sleeping soundly in the water.
Relying on the sharpness of the Silver Sword and the number of Golden Blades, after half a day of hard work, a fairly large secluded mansion took shape. Thirteen rooms of varying sizes and three large halls covering over an acre were carved out.
Although the walls were still rough and not finely processed, the mansion was at least livable! Han Li breathed a sigh of relief and stopped.
Suddenly, he remembered the double-eyed rat, hurried back to the spirit spring, grabbed the sleeping little beast by the scruff of its neck, and after flying several hundred miles, released it to return to Qilin Pavilion on its own.
Han Li’s newly built secluded mansion had only one exit for now. After returning, he immediately arranged five small flags and a dozen low-grade spirit stones according to the method recorded on the Jade Slip, setting up a small illusory formation to completely conceal the exit with formation magic. From outside, it looked like a solid mountain wall, with no sign of a cave.
After basic protection was done, Han Li carved a simple stone bed with the Silver Sword, lay down, and quickly fell asleep. He was truly exhausted!
For the following days, Han Li was busy nonstop.
First, he found a flat piece of land near his mansion in a hidden spot and sowed some spirit medicine seeds.
These included both ordinary medicinal herb seeds he had brought from the secular world and rare flowers and herbs collected over the years from the Garden of a Hundred Medicines. This place would become Han Li’s own herb garden, from which the spirit medicine seedlings would grow.
