Chapter 31 Transaction of Elixir Recipes
A happy smile appeared on Li Yunfan's face. He then took out several jade slips that were replicas of ancient pill formulas from his storage bag and placed them on the table one by one.
"In that case, Brother Han, please take a look at these pill formulas and see if there's anything you need!"
Han Li didn't stand on ceremony and directly picked up one of the jade slips, invading it with his divine sense to examine it.
"Fire Essence Pill, a fire-attribute pill, can enhance the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment cultivators and is suitable for cultivators practicing fire-attribute techniques..."
Upon seeing this, Han Li put the jade slip back on the table. He cultivated the Wood-attribute Everlasting Spring Technique, and the Fire Essence Pill was not suitable for him.
He then picked up the second jade slip. When he saw the effects of the pill, his eyes lit up. This pill was called "Spirit Ascension Pill," and its effect was to increase the speed of cultivation!
This was extremely useful to him, since he knew firsthand how slow the cultivation speed of a pseudo-spiritual root was.
However, he did not show any expression and calmly placed it back on the table.
But when he looked at the third jade slip, his expression changed slightly, and he felt a little incredulous.
"Brother Li, did you take the wrong one? You actually brought out the Core Formation Pill formula. Do you think I have the ability to exchange it?" Han Li looked at Li Yunfan with a strange expression and said.
Li Yunfan was startled and hurriedly took back the jade slip to check it. He found that it was indeed a formula for Core Formation Pill, and his face turned slightly red. He said somewhat awkwardly.
"I made a mistake, Brother Han, please forgive me. It must have been accidentally mixed in during the replication process..."
Han Li's eyes flickered slightly, and he found it hard to believe that a Foundation Establishment cultivator would make such a mistake.
"It's alright, this won't affect the transaction." After saying that, he picked up the remaining jade slips and began to examine them.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Han Li had finished examining all the pill formulas. In addition to the ancient formula for the Spirit Ascension Pill, there was also an ancient formula for the "Three Elements Pill," which was also very suitable for him.
Of course, he also had the previous Core Formation formula in mind, which was very suitable for him, but since he had not yet established his foundation, it was a bit too early to talk about Core Formation.
"Brother Li, among these pill formulas, only the Spirit Ascension Pill and the Three Elements Pill are suitable for me, while the rest are not of much use to me," Han Li said to Li Yunfan after pondering for a moment.
A hint of doubt flashed in Li Yunfan's eyes. It was entirely within his expectations that Han Li would take a liking to these two pill formulas. However, there was another pill formula that he had carefully selected specifically for Han Li. Why hadn't Han Li mentioned it?
However, after a moment's thought, he understood the reason.
"He hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, nor has he cultivated the Great Evolution Technique, so it's normal that he's not interested in pills that enhance spiritual sense. I guess I'm overthinking this..."
After thinking it over, Li Yunfan smiled and nodded, then put away the three jade slips that the other party hadn't taken a liking to.
"I wonder how Brother Li plans to conduct the transaction?" Han Li asked, seeing that the other party had put away the pill formula. This was the question that Han Li was most concerned about.
"Since Brother Han has decided to make a deal with me, there are some things I should clarify with him beforehand!" Li Yunfan said with a somewhat solemn expression.
Han Li was slightly taken aback, then gestured for the other party to speak plainly.
"Brother Han should know that these are all ancient pill formulas, and the spiritual herbs needed to refine these ancient pill formulas are extremely difficult to find nowadays, and some may even be extinct..."
Han Li frowned. He had never heard Elder Xu of Yuelu Palace mention these things.
"However, it's not that it's completely impossible to refine. As long as we can find alternative spiritual herbs, we can still successfully refine it!" Li Yunfan explained softly to Han Li.
After listening to Li Yunfan's words, Han Li finally understood why the other party had told him these things. It was simply because he was worried that after the transaction, he would find that he was unable to refine the product and thus resent the other party in his heart.
"Thank you for informing me, Brother Li. I understand now! May I ask how you intend to trade these two pill formulas?"
"Given the friendship between Brother Han and me, a pill formula can be exchanged for a thousand-year-old spiritual herb!" Li Yunfan said with a slight smile.
Han Li was slightly pleased. This condition might be expensive for others, but it was very cheap for him, who could accelerate the ripening of spiritual herbs.
"Alright, let's trade according to Brother Li's terms!" Han Li first pretended to ponder before nodding and saying.
Li Yunfan watched Han Li's performance quietly. Although he found it somewhat amusing, he did not show it.
Afterwards, Han Li took out two long wooden boxes from his storage bag, placed them on the table, and asked Li Yunfan to inspect them.
"I trust Brother Han, so there's no need for verification!" Li Yunfan waved his hand, put the wooden box into his storage bag, and said with a smile.
Han Li's expression softened. He hadn't expected the other party to trust him so much. Clearly, as he said, the other party genuinely wanted to befriend him. Otherwise, how could he have accepted two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs without checking them?
"By the way, I've noticed that Brother Han has been tending to this Hundred Herbs Garden for several years now. Don't you find it tedious and boring?" Li Yunfan asked suddenly after handing over the pill formula to the other party.
"Don't laugh at me, Brother Li, but I have quite a few insights into the medicinal herbs, and I enjoy studying them, so I certainly don't find them boring..." Han Li chuckled and explained.
Li Yunfan nodded with a look of sudden realization, but inwardly he curled his lip in disapproval.
"I never imagined Brother Han had such a hobby; it truly surprises me. In that case, Brother Han might also possess an exceptional talent for alchemy!"
"Brother Li, you flatter me. If I weren't limited by my aptitude, why would I waste time and energy studying alchemy?" Han Li shook his head with a wry smile.
Li Yunfan smiled slightly and stopped talking. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then a hesitant look appeared on his face, as if he had some unspeakable secret.
"Brother Han! I have an idea, but I don't know if I should say it!" After a moment, Li Yunfan finally made up his mind and solemnly said to Han Li.
Han Li's eyes flickered slightly, but he said calmly, "Brother Li, please speak freely!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yunfan immediately shared his thoughts with Han Li.
Simply put, Li Yunfan hopes to refine pills with Han Li. He will provide the pill formula, the two of them will collect spiritual herbs together, and Han Li will refine the pills. After the pills are successfully refined, the two of them will split the profits 50/50.
Han Li's brows furrowed as he listened, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
In fact, this condition is not harsh at all; in fact, it is quite advantageous to him. After all, pill formulas are hard to find, and although spiritual herbs are not easy to find either, they are much simpler in comparison.
Moreover, he also has a small green bottle that can accelerate the ripening of spiritual herbs. With just a little time, he can easily obtain spiritual herbs that are thousands of years old.
"It seems he has more than just those few pill formulas. I wonder how he obtained so many ancient pill formulas... But this is good, it saves me the time of collecting pill formulas in the future. As long as I find substitute spiritual herbs to continuously accelerate their growth, I won't have to worry about the problem of cultivating pills after I reach the Foundation Establishment stage..."
Looking at Han Li deep in thought, Li Yunfan felt a little uneasy. He didn't know if Han Li would agree, but this matter concerned whether he could obtain the Great Evolution Technique in the future, so he naturally hoped that Han Li would agree.
"Brother Li's suggestion is indeed good, but I still have a question in my mind, and I hope Brother Li can answer it!" After thinking for a while, Han Li looked up at Li Yunfan and said solemnly.
"Brother Han, please ask!"
"As far as I know, there are quite a few disciples in the valley who are skilled in alchemy, including some Foundation Establishment cultivators. Why don't you go and look for them instead of coming to me, Brother Li?" Han Li stared at Li Yuanfan and asked the question that was on his mind.
Upon hearing Han Li's words, Li Yunfan felt a slight sense of relief followed by a surge of joy, because he knew that Han Li's willingness to ask this question meant that he was not opposed to the suggestion.
"There are indeed many Foundation Establishment stage alchemy disciples in the valley, but I am not familiar with them. Although my acquaintance with Brother Han is not long, I can tell that Brother Han is not the kind of person with evil intentions. Moreover, you and I will be true fellow disciples in the future, so naturally I will choose Brother Han first!" Li Yuanfan said, a smile appearing on his face.
