A Record of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 516: Phantom Flame Moth

Han Li extended two fingers, deftly picking up one of the pearls and holding it before his eyes.

After gazing at it for a moment, Han Li put the pearl back and slowly closed his eyes.

In his mind, a picture from the Jade Slip emerged.

A fist-sized round pearl radiating five-colored light, surrounded by about a dozen smaller pearls floating nearby.

These pearls were exactly the same as the one in Han Li’s hand.

Han Li was not unfamiliar with the five-colored radiant pearl hidden within the glow—it was the Heaven Mending Pill that had flown out from the Void Heaven Cauldron.

This strange illustration was one of the few in the Jade Slip without any explanation, appearing mysterious and enigmatic.

When Han Li scanned this image in the Inch-Gold Pavilion, he was naturally extremely shocked.

This was also why he had been unwilling to part with a Talisman Treasure and was determined to exchange this Jade Slip from Gu Yu’s hand.

Otherwise, according to his original intention, he would have only offered a bottle of pills at most.

Besides this picture, the other few illustrations in the Jade Slip without text were equally peculiar.

Some depicted objects resembling magical artifacts or magical treasures, while others showed beings that looked like demonic beasts or ghosts. But all of these were things Han Li had never seen before.

Considering that the Heaven Mending Pill was among them, these bizarre images clearly represented items of great significance.

Han Li carefully memorized these pictures, thinking that perhaps in the future he might encounter some of these things.

At that time, he would naturally treat them with due seriousness.

However, at this moment, Han Li looked at the pearls in the box and felt somewhat perplexed.

Without a doubt, these five-colored pearls must be closely related to the Heaven Mending Pill; otherwise, they would not appear in the same image.

Considering that these pearls were refined from the Ji Xuan mysterious bone, and Ji Xuan possessed the blood jade spider, Han Li wondered if another rebellious disciple of the mysterious bone old demon had entered the Void Heaven Cauldron back then and swallowed a Heaven Mending Pill.

That would explain why his bones turned five-colored after death and why, after burning them with fire, these pearls were condensed.

From Han Li’s experience consuming many pills, it was very likely that the medicinal properties of the Heaven Mending Pill had not been fully refined, or that the pill’s potency was too strong, requiring a redoubled refining process after ingestion.

From this perspective, perhaps these pearls were the true Heaven Mending Pills!

Otherwise, how could they be so prominently displayed in the illustration?

Using a cultivator’s body as a pill furnace to nurture pills was rare in the current immortal cultivation world, but Han Li had witnessed it firsthand.

The Black Death Cult’s “Blood Condensing Five Elements Pill” was one particularly bloody and ruthless method.

Still, all of this was merely Han Li’s conjecture. Naturally, he would not rashly consume the pearls immediately.

After some thought, he left the stone chamber and headed towards the Insect Chamber.

The Insect Chamber was no longer as simple as it had been back in Tianxing City; Han Li had developed five stone chambers of various sizes within it.

Two of these were used to cultivate two different batches of golddevourer worms.

One batch consisted of tens of thousands of golddevourer worms that had displayed great power with Han Li in the Void Heaven Hall, devouring many iron fire ants.

The other batch was the nearly one thousand carefully selected insects he had brought out from the secluded mansion in Tianxing City.

Han Li deliberately housed these two batches separately.

Come to think of it, perhaps because they had devoured so many iron fire ants, the tens of thousands of golddevourer worms seemed to have begun evolving and reproducing again, with some already starting to devour each other.
