Chapter 122 Trial

A little over a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Han Li was in a secret room with his eyes lightly closed, sitting cross-legged, motionless.

Suddenly, his eyelids twitched, and he opened his eyes and stood up. With a flicker, he appeared in the void above the small courtyard, wearing a cyan ox-head mask.

After a moment of hesitation, he turned into a streak of azure light and sped off in a certain direction.

Half a day later, in the sky above an unknown island countless miles away from Wumeng Island, a streak of cyan light flashed from the distant horizon. After circling a few times above the island, the light converged, and Han Li, wearing the ox-head mask, hovered in the low sky next to a hill.

As soon as he appeared, the void not far in front of him suddenly rippled visibly. Then, a gray figure stepped out of it.

This person wore a crimson mask, his entire body enveloped in a gray light. His aura was elusive, giving Han Li a sense of great distance, making it impossible to see him clearly.

Han Li's pupils narrowed slightly.

The moment the other party appeared, he had a feeling that this person's cultivation was probably even stronger than Jiao San's.

"Jiao Fifteen, Jiao Three recommended you to become a Blue-level member. Based on your past contributions, it's not enough. But since someone is willing to use a recommendation slot, I won't say anything. However, the trial mission must be completed," the gray figure said, sizing up Han Li.

The voice was somewhat indistinct, making it impossible to tell if it was male or female, old or young.

"Understood," Han Li replied, nodding.

"Here is the mission list. Choose one," the gray figure said, taking out a scarlet token.

With a flick of his finger, the strange patterns on the token lit up. Countless tiny runes emerged, interweaving and twisting to form a scarlet light screen several feet in size.

Rows of small characters floated on the screen, describing various missions.

Han Li didn't say much, his eyes falling on the light screen, carefully examining it.

The missions were diverse, ranging from guarding a dangerous area for ten thousand years, to exterminating powerful demons and ghosts in a distant region, or collecting rare natural treasures.

Without exception, all the missions seemed difficult. Many were on par with eliminating the Red Moon Island Master.

Seeing this, Han Li's mind raced.

Although some of the missions were possible for him to complete with his current strength, they would take a lot of time, and time was what he lacked most.

Not to mention ten thousand or a thousand years, he didn't want to wait even a hundred or ten years.

After all, the Immortal World he was currently in was not only fraught with dangers but also clearly had some forces that he didn't fully understand yet, forces determined to kill him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost three hundred years of memories and ended up in the Spirit World.

As he thought this, his eyes quickly scanned the mission list. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he spotted a mission:

"Revive an unknown spirit plant seed within a hundred years."

Han Li couldn't help but rejoice. There was such a mission.

Although he didn't know what kind of spirit plant seed it was, with the Palm Heaven Bottle, completing this mission shouldn't be difficult.

"Special Envoy, is there a more detailed explanation for this spirit plant seed revival mission?" With this in mind, he pointed to a certain spot on the light screen and asked calmly.

"Oh, you want to choose this mission?" The light on the gray figure flickered slightly, his tone sounding somewhat surprised.

"Is there something wrong with this mission?" Han Li asked, slightly taken aback.

"Not really. This mission was issued by an elder within the alliance. He obtained the spirit plant seed by chance, but couldn't identify its species. The seed has no life force left. He suspects that it may require a certain level of wood-attribute law to revive it," the gray figure explained slowly.

"I'll take this mission," Han Li said, nodding.

The gray figure glanced at Han Li, then put away the scarlet token and took out a white array disk, handing it to Han Li, and said:

"This is called a Transfer Disk. In a few days, someone will use it to send you the seed. If you can revive it, use this to send it back, and it will be considered that you have completed the trial mission."

"Yes, thank you, Special Envoy," Han Li said, accepting the white array disk, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. The Immortal World actually had such a convenient item.

The gray figure didn't stay here long. After delivering the mission, he raised his arm, and a gray light flew out, spinning in the void in front of him.

*Chi la!*

A crack appeared in space, turning into a gray spatial channel, emitting a faint light at the edges.

The gray figure didn't look at Han Li again, turned and stepped into it, disappearing. The spatial channel also closed and disappeared after his figure entered.

Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling somewhat shocked.

Within the gray light was a seemingly ordinary talisman with mysterious golden patterns on its surface.

This object could easily break through space and faintly sense a special wave of law power emanating from it. It was clearly not an ordinary object, but the other party seemed to be using it only for travel, which seemed a bit extravagant.

Han Li shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and also turned into a streak of light, flying away.

That night.

Luo Feng hurried to Han Li's small courtyard. As soon as he entered, he cupped his fist from afar towards Han Li, who was standing with his hands behind his back in the courtyard:

"Luo Feng greets Senior Liu."

"Help me find some high-level spirit soil suitable for planting spirit herbs. I don't need too much of each kind, but find as many different kinds as possible," Han Li instructed.

"Yes," Luo Feng said, slightly stunned, but he immediately agreed without asking any further questions.

...

Three days later.

Han Li sat cross-legged in the secret room, a white array disk-like object floating in front of him, humming as it rotated.

After a while, a large expanse of dazzling white light emerged from the array disk. Countless silver runes surged out, circling around the array disk before plunging into the center, forming a white light mass.

The white light mass expanded and contracted before scattering, and a palm-sized cyan jade box floated above the array disk.

Seeing this, Han Li waved his hand and grabbed the cyan jade box, taking a brief look to confirm that there were no problems before opening the lid.

Inside the box lay a desiccated yellowish-brown seed, no larger than a thumb, resembling a peach pit. It appeared unremarkable.

Han Li carefully picked up the seed with two fingers and held it up to his eyes for a closer look.

After a long while, he shook his head.

As the special envoy had said, he couldn't sense any vitality within the seed.

He couldn't see anything special about this thing, something that would make the elder, who seemed to have a high status in the alliance, try so hard to revive it.

After pondering for a moment, he took out the jade token, opened the entrance to the secret realm, and entered. He went directly to a clearing behind the small house and took out a jade basin, placing it on the ground. Inside were some colorful soils, radiating a rich spiritual energy fluctuation.

This was the spiritual soil he had concocted using the spiritual soil collected by Luo Feng.

Although this spiritual soil couldn't be said to be able to cultivate all spiritual herbs and medicines, most herbaceous spiritual plants could survive and grow in these five-colored soils.

Han Li buried the seed in the spiritual soil, and then took out the Palm Heaven Bottle.

He hadn't used it for these days, and a drop of green liquid had already condensed inside.

He carefully dripped the green liquid into the spiritual soil, and it quickly seeped in.

Then, he sat cross-legged, released his divine sense into the seed in the spiritual soil, and closed his eyes.

Time passed little by little. After about half a day, he suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of joy.

As expected, about two or three hours after the green liquid was dripped in, a trace of vitality appeared within the yellowish-brown seed, and it was slowly increasing.

Seeing this, Han Li turned and left the secret realm, and came to the courtyard. After laying down layers of restrictions here, he took out the small bottle and placed it on the ground.

It was late at night, and the stars in the night sky were bright and shining.

Thousands of starlight gathered and merged into the bottle...

Time flew by, and a month passed in a flash. Another drop of green liquid was produced in the small bottle.

Han Li immediately dripped the green liquid into the seed.

This time, faint traces of green began to emerge on the yellowish-brown surface of the seed...

Five months later.

After the sixth drop of green liquid, the vitality within the seed seemed to have recovered nearly one-fifth, and the originally dark surface had turned half gray and half green.

Three months passed again.

When Han Li dripped another drop of green liquid, with a soft "crack" sound, a small crack appeared on the surface of the seed, and a tender shoot about an inch long emerged.

A few thin, white roots also emerged from the bottom of the seed, taking root in the five-colored spiritual soil...

Han Li looked at the green seedling in front of him, his eyes flashing slightly.

Although he didn't know what kind of seed it was, judging from the current situation, this thing would be extraordinary if it grew up.

There was originally no life force within this seed, and it was most difficult to enable it to give birth to and maintain a trace of life force. Now that its vitality had recovered nearly a quarter and was gradually stabilizing, it could be regarded as revived. In the future, as long as it was moved to the spiritual soil and carefully nurtured with suitable wood-attribute spiritual liquid bit by bit, it was only a matter of time before it completely recovered its vitality.

Of course, without the green liquid, this time might be tens of thousands of years, but that was not what Han Li needed to worry about. He naturally didn't intend to let this seed completely recover its vitality, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

As he thought this, he returned to the secret room in the small courtyard.

After putting the ox-head mask on his head, he took out the white jade disk, placed the seedling and the jade basin on it, and waved to activate the restrictions on it.

*Om!*

A white light emerged from the jade disk, enveloping the jade basin.

With a flash of light, the jade basin disappeared without a trace.
