Chapter 515: Incredible Wealth
After returning to the island, Han Li placed the array plate back into the treasured case, then stowed the case away into his storage bracelet before continuing to sort through Feng Tiandu's belongings.
In contrast with Xiao Jinhan, Feng Tiandu had far fewer pills and pill recipes in his possession, and what he did have were also of inferior quality, but he possessed far more spirit materials than Xiao Jinhan did.
Among them were as much as a quarter of a kilogram of Heavenly River Stardust, around a dozen palm-sized Vibrant Rainbow Crystals, and seven or eight vials of Serene Dark Water, all three of which were important spirit materials for refining Acquired Immortal Treasures, so they were always hotly contested during any major auctions that they appeared, even for the tiniest amount.
Aside from that, Feng Tiandu also had a pair of Silver Meridian Immortal Vines that were each around a foot in length and roughly the same thickness as an infant's arm. These vines were vastly renowned in the Northern Glacial Immortal Region as an exceptional puppet refinement material, and they were impossible to buy from virtually anywhere.
According to some unofficial historical records that Han Li had read on some scriptures, puppets refined using these vines possess bodies comparable to True Immortals in power, and they also develop a system of meridians in their bodies that allow them to channel immortal spiritual power and unleash immortal abilities.
After stowing all of these materials away, Han Li's gaze fell upon a bamboo cane that was as green as jade.
The cane was only around three feet in length and as thick as an adult human thumb. It was split up into nine sections, and each section was giving off a faint white glow. Even though it was without a root, it still seemed to be teeming with vitality, indicating that it was imbued with wood law powers.
Han Li was cultivating the laws of time, while his Earthly Deity Avatar was cultivating the laws of water, so he didn't know much about other types of law powers, he was still aware of just how precious these materials that were imbued with law powers were.
In particular, for those cultivating the laws of wood, this bamboo staff would be an extremely highly sought after treasure.
Han Li was going to require a large quantity of items that contained time law powers in order to manifest more time law threads in the future, so he could see if he could exchange these items for things that he needed.
Aside from that bamboo cane, none of the rest of Feng Tiandu's belongings caught Han Li's interest, not because there was nothing else of value, but simply because Han Li's standards had become almost absurdly high. Otherwise, the mountain of Immortal Origin Stones in Feng Tiandu's possession, which was even larger than Xiao Jinhan's collection, would be enough to leave the average Golden Immortal completely flabbergasted.
After sorting through all of Feng Tiandu's belongings, Han Li paused momentarily, then refined Gongshu Jiu's storage bracelet before also releasing all of its contents.
In the blink of an eye, a mountain of Immortal Origin Stones that exceeded even the combined wealth of Feng Tiandu and Xiao Jinhan appeared in the clearing. The Immortal Origin Stones on the top of the mountain slowly clattered down until they reached the edge of the clearing, while all of the other treasures were squished to the side.
Han Li's mouth gaped open slightly at the sight of the small mountain of Immortal Origin Stones, which was quite a bit taller than himself, and he was stunned beyond words.
I can't believe a High Zenith cultivator has so many Immortal Origin Stones...
In addition to the Immortal Origin Stones that he had taken from Qu Ling, Xiao Jinhan, Feng Tiandu, and the others, his current wealth exceeded two million Immortal Origin Stones, which was surely comparable to the entire wealth of a major sect.
In the blink of an eye, Han Li had become ridiculously wealthy, and it seemed that he had more money than he knew what to do with.
However, he then quickly regained his composure.
The path of cultivation was a long arduous one, and the amount of resources that he would have to go through was immeasurable. It was going to take a vast amount of resources just to secure more items that contained time law powers, and that wasn't even to mention all of the pill refinement resources that he required.
With that in mind, these two million Immortal Origin Stones were most likely nowhere near enough to even support his cultivation to the High Zenith Stage, and the elation in his heart immediately began to die down.
He made his way to the other end of the clearing, and from there, he continued to examine Gongshu Jiu's belongings.
The first thing that caught his attention was a massive wooden shelf with multiple tiers, one that was laden with over 1,000 Transient Guild masks of all types of different descriptions.
A stunned look appeared on Han Li's face upon seeing this.
Aside from the numbers on these masks, they also had a variety of different prefixes, including Wyrm, Raccoon, Dragon, Crow, and Fox.
Looking at this vast collection of masks, Han Li couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow for these Transient Guild members that he had never met before. If he had perished by Gongshu Jiu's hands, then his masks would've been added to this collection as well.
"It looks like I'll never have to worry about running out of masks to use," Han Li chuckled as he swept a sleeve through the air to stow the entire wooden shelf away.
Due to how enormous Gongshu Jiu's collection was, Han Li had to sort through one type of items at a time, and the first category of items that he had chosen to examine were the pills.
Gongshu Jiu had a large number of pills in his collection, all of which were of an extremely high caliber, and most of them were unidentifiable to Han Li, but he presumed that they had to all be High Zenith Stage pills.
Having said that, Han Li was a Heavenly Pill Master, so he was able to determine from the aromas and other characteristics of these pills that most of them were for recovery and regenerative purposes, while there were only two types for cultivation enhancement.
It just so happened to be the case that there was golden slip plastered to each of the jade vials that contained these two types of pills, and the slips carried the names of these pills, namely Clear Jade Pills and Zenith Garden Pills.
However, what was rather disappointing to him was that there was only one of each pill left in the two jade vials.
As for the golden slips, their material was rather special, so he decided to give them a closer examination as well.
As soon as his hand came into contact with one of the golden slips, a series of golden characters emerged from within, denoting a series of medicinal ingredient names, such as Jade Yang Essence, Wind Spirit Seeds, Nine-leaf Silverberries...
Clearly, the golden slips contain the pill refinement recipes for these two pills.
Han Li examined the lists of ingredients while sorting through the spirit medicines in Gongshu Jiu's collection, and he discovered that Gongshu Jiu still had a spare supply of most of these ingredients, while only a few ones were missing,
A faint smile appeared on Han Li's face upon seeing this.
After that, he picked up a black jade box, then tore off the golden talisman adhered to it before opening it.
As the lid of the box was removed, he was immediately greeted by a rich medicinal aroma.
There was a pill that was as fair as jade sitting in the jade box, and there were three golden lines on its surface, while faint wisps of mist were rising up from it to form a tiny white cloud around three inches above it.
Much to Han Li's astonishment and elation, this was a third-tier dao pill imbued with qi law powers!
A dao pill of such a high caliber was most definitely a priceless treasure, and Han Li couldn't help but examine it repeatedly with elation in his eyes, unable to bear the thought of putting it down.
Only after a long while did he close the jade box again before stowing it away.
After sorting through all of the pills, Han Li took a moment to compose himself before working through Gongshu Jiu's treasures.
To Han Li's surprise, there were only two Acquired Immortal Treasures in Gongshu Jiu's collection, and after some thought, he realized that perhaps High Zenith cultivators simply relied less on treasures than Golden Immortals.
One of the Acquired Immortal Treasures was a tiny, rusty bianzhong that was very shabby in appearance, looking as if it had just been unearthed long ago.
However, when Han Li tried to crush it with his immense strength, he discovered that he was unable to do so.
Aside from that, he discovered that no matter what he struck the bianzhong with, it didn't produce any sound.
Even after some extensive experimentation, he was unable to find out how to use the treasure.
As for the other immortal treasure, that was a strange-looking black bladed weapon that was around five feet in length, with the hilt and blade roughly equal in length, and its surface was riddled with lightning cloud designs.
Upon injecting his immortal spiritual power into the blade, Han Li discovered that it would tremble and buzz, and all of the lightning cloud designs on its surface would turn golden in color, while arcs of golden lightning sprang forth.
However, as he attempted to inject the power of the Lightning Bird and the Divine Devilbane Lightning in his body into the blade, it immediately began to tremble violently, clearly displaying intense rejection.
After some contemplation, Han Li summoned Daoist Xie, who only took a brief glance at all of the spoils that littered the entire clearing before withdrawing its gaze.
"I managed to reap some spoils during the earlier battle, and this blade is one of them. You're adept in using the power of lightning, so why don't you take a look to see if this is something that you can use?" Han Li proposed.
Daoist Xie remained silent as it swept its gaze over the blade, upon which its expression changed ever so slightly.
Han Li immediately noticed this minute change in Daoist Xie's expression, and he asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the name of this blade is Thunderslash, and it's a vastly renowned weapon from the Black Soil Immortal Region," Daoist Xie replied.
"The Black Soil Immortal Region? It sounds like you've recovered quite a bit more of your memories, Brother Xie," Han Li remarked.
"Ever since we arrived in the Northern Glacial Immortal Region, snippets of memories have been returning to me, and it's becoming more and more frequent an occurrence of late. Some memories that were previously incomprehensible to me have also been contextualized, so I have indeed recalled many things," Daoist Xie explained.
"It's fine, you don't have to explain anything to me. Seeing as you're able to identify the blade, I'm sure you'll be able to make good use of it, so you can have it," Han Li said with a smile.
