Chapter 601: Eliminating Future Troubles
After Han Li and the cold, aloof woman disappeared in a flash of light speed, he immediately flipped his palm and examined the items in his hand.
A blue Jade Slip, a green Jade Slip, and a yellow command token.
Inside the green Jade Slip were the心得方法—the心得 (心得) or "experience and method" for cultivating the medicinal herbs in the herb garden.
Because the herbs here were of rather ordinary quality and the varieties were limited, as long as one wasn’t utterly foolish, it was very easy to get started.
The other blue Jade Slip contained the "Profound Ice Technique" cultivation method left by that woman surnamed Mu.
Of course, this cultivation technique was not a top-tier spell formation, nor could it be called even a second-rate method; its power was truly pitifully weak.
Its only advantage was that it was easy to cultivate and the bottleneck was relatively easy to break through.
Speaking of which, this woman didn’t seem to have bad intentions after all.
Han Li, as an outer disciple, naturally didn’t have great innate talent in her eyes. That was why she specially picked this simpler method for him.
As for the last command token, it was used to control a rudimentary magic formation outside the herb garden.
Han Li naturally didn’t take this seriously.
After putting away the items, Han Li leisurely walked into the three thatched cottages, took a look around, then calmly walked out.
Standing in front of the cottages, his gaze swept over and landed on the small stone mountain behind the herb garden, a faint smile appearing on his face.
He slowly closed his eyes, slowly releasing his powerful spiritual awareness, covering dozens of miles nearby.
After confirming that no other cultivators were paying attention to this place, he didn’t hold back and waved his hands.
A clear ringing sound echoed as over a dozen flying swords shimmering with azure light swarmed out from his sleeves, then shot fiercely toward the small stone mountain under his mind control.
The mountain rocks were slashed into chaos by the flying swords in no time, as if cutting through tofu, instantly opening a deep cave entrance.
Han Li then split his spiritual awareness into multiple parts, each controlling a flying sword, busily carving out stone chambers.
These stone chambers varied in size and function; Han Li was extremely skilled and needed no hesitation.
After several hours, a brand-new small secluded mansion appeared in the stone mountain, secretly and unnoticed.
Seeing the mansion just formed, Han Li showed a trace of satisfaction.
He then took out several sets of formation flags and formation arrays.
After a while of flying up and down near the small stone mountain, he set up several advanced concealment formations.
Although these formations couldn’t fool an attentive nascent soul stage cultivator, core formation stage cultivators wouldn’t be able to quickly detect anything unusual.
To Han Li, that was enough for now.
After all, an advanced-stage cultivator wouldn’t come to such a rundown herb garden for no reason.
Moreover, this setup was only temporary. Once he thoroughly studied the layout methods of the soul restraint formation, he would set up another layer of soul restraint formation outside these formations.
At that time, even nascent soul stage cultivators wouldn’t be able to see anything unusual.
After completing the formation arrangements, Han Li still showed no signs of resting.
He transplanted the Nine-Twisted Spiritual Ginseng into the small herb garden within the secluded mansion and carefully set up powerful restrictions nearby before allowing himself to relax slightly.
To form the nascent soul, this Nine-Twisted Spiritual Ginseng absolutely could not be lost.
Next, Han Li placed the gold-silver golddevourer worms into the insect chamber.
As for the tricolor golddevourer worms, since they couldn’t be ripened using the Nishang Herb, Han Li had no choice but to carry them with him.
Next to the insect chamber, Han Li opened a spiritual beast chamber specially for the wailing soul beast.
