Approximately half a quarter of an hour later, a soft "poof" sound could be heard.

The entire purple bamboo forest trembled slightly, and the faint purple light on its surface began to recede from above the building, then retreated like a tide from all directions, all the way beneath the ground, before disappearing completely.

Crab Daoren then retracted his hand gestures and opened his eyes.

"Let's go up and take a look."

Han Li said, and together with Crab Daoren, he ascended the steps in front of the bamboo building's porch. With a push, he opened the two bamboo doors.

As soon as they entered the bamboo building, a cool and pleasant sensation immediately surged from all around, refreshing their spirits and making every part of their bodies feel comfortable.

"This building can actually use the purple-gold lotus in the lake to gather the surrounding spiritual Qi, transforming this place into a small blessed land with even denser spiritual Qi. One cannot help but admire the ingenuity of the person who built it," Crab Daoren suddenly said, praising.

"Although this building can gather spiritual Qi, it does not trap it, so the flow of spiritual Qi within this blessed land will not be disturbed. Moreover, the spiritual Qi that escapes from here will, in turn, nourish the surrounding bamboo forest, making this the area with the densest spiritual Qi in the entire blessed land. It would be perfect if it were developed into a spiritual herb garden," Han Li nodded, also saying.

Crab Daoren listened and nodded silently without saying anything.

The furnishings on the first floor of the purple bamboo building were very simple. In the main hall, a large, old painting hung, with a large "Chan" character written in heavy ink. The strokes were crooked and uneven, not like writing, but more like painting, vaguely outlining the profile of a fat person wearing a robe, holding a staff, and with his chest exposed.

Below the painting was a futon woven from coarse hemp, which seemed to be used frequently, as it was quite worn.

To the left of the main hall was a side room, which contained a purple bamboo couch, on which was a small square table with an extinguished oil lamp and a pair of black teapots and teacups.

On the opposite right side was a folding staircase leading to the second floor of the阁楼.

On the second floor of the閣樓, Han Li and Crab Daoren found three storage cabinets, all sealed with secret methods.

After the two broke them open one by one, they were immediately pleasantly surprised.

The first storage cabinet contained a large number of spiritual herbs and materials, including some Fire-Veined Lingzhi and Jade Marrow Huangjing that were hundreds of thousands of years old, as well as a large amount of Heavenly River Star Sand, Ice Soul Cold Crystal, and Nine Yang Flint.

These were just the ones that Han Li could recognize. More materials were unheard of and unseen, presumably materials needed to refine some high-level pills and magical treasures.

Han Li was not polite, sweeping all these materials away and storing them in his storage bracelet.

In the second storage cabinet, they found a dozen cultivation method manuals. Only a few were high-level cultivation methods suitable for human cultivators, while the vast majority were cultivation methods for妖族 and other alien races.

After a cursory glance, Han Li did not bother to examine them further. The few time cultivation methods and Spirit Refinement Arts he was currently practicing were already enough to keep him busy, and he had no time to study other cultivation methods.

Crab Daoren picked out a cultivation method called Lei Bu Zheng Fa and asked Han Li to give it to him, which Han Li naturally did not refuse.

After storing these cultivation methods, Han Li continued to open the third storage cabinet. As expected, it was filled with magical treasures and immortal artifacts, which looked like they were overflowing with spiritual Qi, but were more or less damaged.

Among them was a snow-bright longsword. Its material was excellent, and it should have been a powerful Acquired Immortal Artifact, but a narrow crack extended from the middle of the blade to the tip, greatly reducing its value, causing Han Li to say, "What a pity, what a pity..."

That giant rat True Spirit was strong enough to withstand immortal artifacts with its physical body, so it probably disdained using magical treasures and immortal artifacts. The contents of this storage cabinet should all be its spoils of war.

At the bottom of the storage cabinet, Han Li also found a gray storage bag. After refining it and opening it, he found dozens of transparent crystal stones, containing extremely pure immortal spiritual power. They were actually dozens of Medium-Grade Immortal Essence Stones.

"There are so many Medium-Grade Immortal Essence Stones. This stuff is extremely scarce. I haven't seen it a few times in the Northern Cold Immortal Territory after so many years," Han Li said with some surprise.

"The difficulty of condensing Medium-Grade Immortal Essence Stones is far greater than that of ordinary Immortal Essence Stones, so they are not something ordinary cultivators can possess. I'm afraid there are not many Taiyi Jade Immortals in the Northern Cold Immortal Territory, so it is naturally difficult to see them," Crab Daoren said.

"Not to mention the Northern Cold Immortal Territory, I'm afraid that only some large sects in this Black Mountain Immortal Territory can possess some, and they are all hidden like treasures, and they will not be used easily," Han Li nodded.

Afterwards, Han Li inspected the entire bamboo building up and down, and after discovering that there were no omissions, he took Crab Daoren back outside the purple bamboo forest.

With a wave of his hand, a misty green light flashed, and a dozen giant ape puppets appeared.

Under Han Li's command, some of these puppets went to cut purple bamboo in the forest, some went to cut down trees, and some dug up stones on the ground, quickly leveling a large open space.

After these puppets used the cut trees and purple bamboo to make fences and hedges to enclose the entire open space, Han Li began to set up restriction formations around the hedges.

He set up a simple formation that absorbed the spiritual Qi that escaped from the vicinity of the Purple Bamboo Pavilion, so it was completed quickly.

Afterwards, he waved his hand and took out two large barrels of spiritual liquid that he had prepared earlier but had not had time to use, and handed them over to two giant ape puppets, instructing them to gradually pour the spiritual liquid into the opened medicine garden.

"It will take hundreds of years for the soil to absorb the spiritual liquid and turn it into spiritual fields suitable for growing herbs. We won't waste our time here, let's go out first," Han Li said, glancing at the puppets busy in the spiritual herb garden.

With that, his mind moved, and he pinched a magic formula.

The silver light gate that was previously suspended outside the forest actually appeared out of thin air in front of him in an instant.

As the connection point between the two spaces, it cannot be closed when the master is inside the blessed land treasure. Han Li did not pay attention when he followed Jingyang Shangren into the "Fish Branch" blessed land, but only noticed it this time when he entered the "Flower Branch" blessed land.

Moreover, he could open this light gate anywhere within the blessed land as long as he wanted to.

Afterwards, he and Crab Daoren stepped into the light gate one after another and returned to the cave dwelling together.

Standing in the secret room, Han Li held the jade bone in his hand again. When he looked back, the silver light gate had disappeared.

He looked down at this blessed land treasure called "Flower Branch," his eyebrows slightly raised, and then a hint of joy appeared.

"I'm very interested in that Lei Bu Zheng Fa scroll, so I'll go back and study it first," Crab Daoren said, watching this scene from the side, his expression as usual.

"Alright," Han Li nodded.

After Crab Daoren returned to his own side room, Han Li also returned to his secret room and sat down cross-legged.

He held the jade bone in his hand, gently stroking it, but in his mind, he was thinking about a cultivation method that he had not practiced for a long time: Hundred Meridian Treasure Refinement Art.

The jade bone, which had turned into the tail bone of the giant rat, was slightly larger. Whether it was made into a pendant or a necklace, it would be inconvenient to carry around, and because it contained a huge space inside, Han Li did not dare to put it in his storage bracelet rashly.

After a little thought, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Since that giant rat could refine this thing into a section of its own tail bone, then he could do the same. The Hundred Meridian Treasure Refinement Art he had previously practiced also came from Hundred Craft Mountain. Perhaps this giant rat also used a similar method.

After making up his mind, Han Li no longer hesitated and immediately began to cultivate the Hundred Meridian Treasure Refinement Art in seclusion.

Time passed, and more than thirty years passed.

The northern foothills of the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, in an uninhabited mountain forest, a dazzling sword light descended from the sky, surrounded by layers of golden electric light, like a golden thunder dragon violently attacking, diving into the mountain forest.

"Boom!" A loud noise!

A large amount of golden electric light suddenly exploded, turning into a golden sea of thunder and expanding in all directions.

In the area where the electric wires spread, all the trees suddenly exploded, turning into charred powder and dissipating between heaven and earth, turning an area of dozens of miles into a black scorched earth.

In the very center of that scorched earth, a verdant ancient tree stood intact, still standing on the ground, and at the top of that ancient tree, a man in a blue shirt stood tall, raising his index and middle fingers together with his right hand, pointing straight to the sky.

This posture was just like the martial arts "Two-Finger Zen" practiced in the mortal world.

This person was none other than Han Li.

Only his two fingers were as crystal clear as jade, with a silver flower pattern flashing faintly on them. Between the two fingers was the sharp sword tip of a blue longsword, with wisps of golden electric wires constantly ejecting and making bursts of sizzling sounds.

"I didn't expect that refining this blessed land treasure into my fingers would have such power. It can easily block attacks of the Qingzhu Bee Cloud Sword level. No wonder even Golden Boy couldn't bite through and devour it," Han Li put away the longsword, glanced at the two fingers of his right hand, and said with a smile.

With that, a flash of green light flashed on his body, and his figure disappeared into the distance in an instant.

Returning to the secret room of the Wild Crane Valley cave dwelling, Han Li's mind suddenly moved, and the flower pattern on the two fingers of his right hand flashed with light. A silver light shot out from it, turning into the silver light gate and standing in front of him.

Han Li did not stop and immediately stepped into the light gate and entered the "Flower Branch" blessed land.

He did not fly away directly, but walked all the way inward along the white bone path.

During this period of time, he had been practicing the Hundred Meridian Treasure Refinement Art in seclusion to integrate that section of jade bone into the bones of his fingers, so he had not entered this blessed land.

This time, he found that the giant ape puppets that were placed in the spiritual herb garden had actually dispersed into the mountain forest after completing the task of pouring the spiritual liquid and were nurturing the spiritual herbs that originally grew here.

After a slight thought, Han Li commanded them to collect all the spiritual herbs that he had previously discovered beside the forest path and take them to the spiritual herb garden.
