“It seems Elder Li has been diligently cultivating in seclusion recently; no wonder his aura feels much stronger. About a hundred years ago, Dao Lord Mu suddenly announced his emergence from seclusion and took several personally taught disciples to Shang'a Continent. Many of the extra spiritual materials here come from Shang'a Continent,” Ye Nanfeng said with a smile.

“I see. By the way, I came this time to purchase some spiritual materials. Please take a look, Elder Ye.” Han Li nodded thoughtfully, then changed the subject, taking out a jade slip and handing it over.

“Hehe, every time Elder Li comes, he brings a big deal to Ye. The Immortal Medicine Pavilion may not have much else, but the variety of spiritual materials is second to none in the entire Guyun Continent…” Ye Nanfeng took the jade slip, his divine sense entering it, but the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

Han Li watched the change in Ye Nanfeng's expression but did not show any surprise.

“This… the materials Elder Li wants to buy, as far as I know, none of them are currently in the pavilion,” Ye Nanfeng said, shaking his head after a long while.

“It’s fine; these spiritual materials are indeed hard to find. However, Elder Ye has extensive connections. If there is any news about these materials, please inform Li. I will definitely reward you handsomely,” Han Li said.

“To be honest, many of the spiritual materials on Elder Li’s list are rare and hard-to-find treasures. Some, I only vaguely remember seeing in some ancient books, so I’m afraid I am unable to help. Of course, Ye will pay more attention, and if there is any news, I will inform Elder Li as soon as possible,” Ye Nanfeng said somewhat awkwardly, his tone still very polite.

“Then thank you, Elder Ye.” Hearing this, Han Li didn't say anything more, cupping his fist towards the other party.

These days, he had been searching everywhere for the remaining spiritual materials to refine the Dao Pill, looking through almost all channels, but he was still without any results.

“Elder Li, you don’t need to be discouraged. If it were ordinary times, finding these materials would naturally be extremely difficult, but it may not be the case now.” Ye Nanfeng suddenly thought of something and spoke again.

“Oh? What do you mean by that, Elder Ye?” Han Li’s heart stirred, and he quickly asked.

“Regarding this matter, it hasn't been widely circulated within the sect yet, but as far as I know, Dao Lord Baili of this sect will emerge from seclusion in a few years.” Ye Nanfeng moved closer to Han Li and said in a low voice.

“The First Dao Lord?” Han Li was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

Dao Lord Baili, Baili Yan, is the name of the First Dao Lord of Zhulong Dao. It is said that this person has already cultivated to the peak of the Golden Immortal realm and is only one step away from the legendary Taiyi Jade Immortal.

However, this First Dao Lord is said to be constantly in seclusion comprehending the Great Dao. Many people in the sect have only heard of him but never seen his true face.

“Elder Li has only recently joined this sect within the last millennium, so it is normal not to know about this matter. After all, Dao Lord Baili last emerged from seclusion tens of thousands of years ago. According to precedent, every time he emerges from seclusion, he will hold a Dao Lecture Conference. At that time, not only will the sect elders gather to participate, but many fellow Daoists from the entire Northern Cold Immortal Domain will also come to observe. Such a grand event, with ten thousand cultivators gathering, so before the start of the conference, there are usually some auctions and exchange meetings, and perhaps the materials Elder Li needs may appear at that time,” Ye Nanfeng said, a hint of barely concealed excitement appearing on his face.

“I see. I didn't expect the sect to have such a grand event. Thank you for your guidance, Elder Ye.” Han Li’s eyes lit up, and he nodded.

“It's just a piece of news, moreover, this matter will probably spread soon. Elder Li is too polite,” Ye Nanfeng said with a smile.

Han Li smiled and didn't dwell on the matter. He flipped his hand and took out another jade slip, saying, "Elder Ye, besides the ones just now, I would also like to inquire whether your pavilion has these materials."

In this jade slip were materials for something called ‘Wanlun Dan’.

Wanlun Dan is a pill suitable for True Immortal late-stage cultivators. This pill formula was also obtained from Ping Yaozi, but unfortunately, there is only this one.

He has now advanced to the late stage of True Immortal, and the previous pills are no longer useful. He must seek out new pills.

This Wanlun Dan seems to be no ordinary True Immortal late-stage pill, and the materials required are quite extraordinary.

As early as hundreds of years ago, he had Meng Yungui and others search outside at all costs, but so far, Meng Yungui and others have only found three or four kinds of auxiliary materials, and none of the three main materials required for Wanlun Dan have been found.

“To be honest, Elder Li, these materials are also quite extraordinary. Are they for your friend the Earth Pill Master? Especially the Wanlun Fruit, Luoying Flower, and Blood Crystal Lotus Root; these three main materials are extremely rare. The auxiliary materials can be gathered, but for the main materials, our Immortal Medicine Pavilion only has the Luoying Flower,” Ye Nanfeng took the jade slip, scanned it with his divine sense, and said with a somewhat bitter smile.

He had always prided himself on the Immortal Medicine Pavilion’s extremely complete variety of spiritual herbs and materials, but he didn't expect to suffer repeated setbacks today.

“That's right. My friend accidentally obtained an ancient pill formula a few years ago, but the spiritual materials on it cannot be found anywhere, so I asked me to inquire here. Since you have some, then I will take those for now,” Han Li nodded and said.

……

Half an hour later, Han Li walked out of the Immortal Medicine Pavilion, a hint of heartache on his face.

The materials for the Wanlun Dan were extraordinarily expensive. Although he only bought a few materials, it cost him a lot of Immortal Essence Stones. Among them, the Luoying Flower was the most expensive. A single plant that was a mere thousand years old actually cost fifteen Immortal Essence Stones.

Fortunately, this flower can be matured and propagated through the small bottle later, so it is not a big problem.

Han Li didn't stay outside any longer and immediately returned to Chixia Peak.

According to Ye Nanfeng, there are still several years before the First Dao Lord emerges from seclusion. At that time, the materials he needs are likely to appear, but the value will probably be considerable.

He has been continuously refining pills these years and has spent a lot.

Although he still has a lot of Immortal Essence Stones on him, it may not be safe. He must find a way to gather some Immortal Essence Stones.

Han Li sat down in the secret room, pondered slightly, and his divine sense entered his storage bag. Then he waved his hand.

With a crash, a pile of spiritual treasures, cultivation methods, and other items with shimmering spiritual light appeared on the ground.

These were all the belongings of Chong Luan and the other two. Although some had been sold before, there were still many left that had not yet been processed. Now that time is limited, doing tasks is obviously too late, but if all these things are disposed of, a considerable amount of Immortal Essence Stones can be gathered in the short term.

Han Li flipped his hand and took out the tiger-headed mask, put it on his face, summoned the array plate, opened the transaction interface, and placed these items in the transaction column one by one. To sell these items as soon as possible, the marked prices were slightly lower.

After dealing with these matters, he came to the medicine garden, took out a jade box, which contained several purplish-black spiritual flowers. They had a total of three petals and emitted a peculiar fragrant smell.

These were exactly the Luoying Flowers. It is said that these flowers only bear fruit after they are thirty thousand years old, and only then can seeds be obtained from their fruit. For him, this was naturally not a problem.

He opened up a new area in the medicine garden and carefully planted the Luoying Flowers.

After doing all this, Han Li returned to the entrance of the medicine garden again, looking at the medicine garden in front of him, which was growing many precious spiritual herbs and was full of vitality, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

This medicine garden had cost him countless efforts, accumulated bit by bit, to have today's scale.

Thanks to the support of this medicine garden, his cultivation in the True Immortal realm has been able to improve so quickly.

After staying here for a while, he walked back to the secret room and sat down cross-legged.

Now, without the support of pills, it is difficult to make progress by continuing to cultivate. He did not continue to cultivate his cultivation method, but instead intended to continue to comprehend the eight-and-a-half sentences of the incantation to see if he could have other gains.

Just as Han Li was cultivating behind closed doors, the news that the First Dao Lord was about to emerge from seclusion and would hold a Dao Lecture Conference also began to spread in Zhulong Dao. Soon after, the sect officially announced the matter, and the time was set for seven years later.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Zhulong Dao was in an uproar.

According to records, Dao Lord Baili has held a total of eight Dao Lecture Conferences to date. This is the ninth time, and each time, it can be regarded as a grand event in the Northern Cold Immortal Domain.

The biggest feature of this grand event is that it does not restrict the identity of the participants. In other words, as long as they are disciples of Zhulong Dao, even outer sect disciples, they can go to listen, but how much they can gain and comprehend is another matter.

It is said that this was a rule personally set by the First Dao Lord back then, and it has been the case for so many years.

Some inner sect elders with high cultivation bases who are in bottlenecks, as well as some personally taught disciples, are even more excited.

Perhaps a profound truth in the Dao Lecture Conference will touch their cultivation confusion and help them break through the current bottleneck. It is said that many of the local True Immortals in the sect who have been able to stand out from thousands of cultivators and eventually transcend the tribulation to become Immortals are largely related to this.

And some disciples whose cultivation is not yet at the Mahayana stage are equally excited. Being able to have the opportunity to listen to a high-level Immortal who is half a step into the Taiyi Jade Immortal realm personally lecturing in their lifetime is a great fortune!

Seven years passed in the blink of an eye.

For mortals, this is not a short period of time, but for cultivators, it may not even be as long as one meditation session.

As the gate of the Chixia Peak cave mansion opened with a "rumble", Han Li slowly walked out.

Although he has been in seclusion these years, he has still been closely following the affairs within the sect.

The Dao Lecture Conference of the First Dao Lord Baili Yan is in seven days.

He could have left seclusion a few days earlier, but during his seclusion, comprehending the eight-and-a-half sentences of the incantation unexpectedly allowed him to understand the sealing and concealment secret technique recorded in the *Ge Yuan Yin Mo Gong*.

After a period of comprehension and cultivation, he has finally achieved some success today.

Han Li muttered to himself. As the blue light flowed around his body, several illusory chains appeared in the light, making slight clanging sounds, and then disappeared into his body in a flash.

The aura of the True Immortal realm on his body, which was not very obvious, suddenly retracted and was completely concealed, and the aura was complete and smooth, without any trace of concealment.

After reaching the True Immortal realm, due to the different cultivation methods, unless one completely releases their aura when fighting with others, others generally cannot accurately judge the specific number of Immortal Apertures opened, and thus cannot judge the level of cultivation. However, if one has a strong divine sense, there is still a risk of being detected. Now with this concealment secret technique, I am afraid that even ordinary Golden Immortals may not be able to detect it.

A smile appeared on the corner of Han Li's mouth, and he nodded with satisfaction. His figure flickered, turning into a blue light and flying away into the distance.
