"So that's how it is. Besides being able to be used in battle, what other uses does this Dao Soldier have?" Han Li nodded and asked.

"Dao Soldiers, depending on their origin, usually possess some special talent and obey their master's commands one hundred percent. They can be said to be fearless in the face of death. If the number reaches a certain level, they can also form various large formations, which can become our most effective assistants, making us invincible." Elder Hu Yan replied, shaking his head.

"This Dao Soldier has so many advantages, wouldn't everyone want one? Why do I rarely see anyone using them outside?" Han Li asked with some doubt.

"Hehe, what do you think Dao Soldiers are? If ordinary Immortals could afford them, what would be so rare about them? You must know that cultivating Dao Soldiers requires a lot of resources and energy, as well as some opportunities. Not all Immortals have the capital and ability to cultivate them. Even Bean Soldiers, which are called the lowest grade planting Dao Soldiers, are rare within the entire Candle Dragon Dao." Elder Hu Yan chuckled and explained.

"Thank you, Elder Hu Yan, for your explanation. I am enlightened. As for the art of refining Dao Soldiers..." Han Li bowed to him and said.

"Alright, considering the wine recipe you brought me, I'll give you some of my insights on planting Bean Soldiers. But remember, don't spread it! Oh, and I really like these two Gold-Threaded Glass Cups. Consider them your tribute to me." Elder Hu Yan said with a stern expression at first, then a sly smile.

After saying that, without waiting for Han Li's agreement, he gently stroked the table with his palm and put away the two Gold-Threaded Glass Cups.

At the same time, a thin yellow paper booklet appeared on the table.

Although Han Li was a little speechless, he already had some understanding of the old man's temperament, so he naturally wouldn't say anything more. He reached out and picked up the booklet, flipped through a few pages, and then carefully put it away.

The seemingly inconspicuous yellow paper booklet recorded some content about Bean Soldier planting. It seemed to be Elder Hu Yan's unique insights in this area, which he could ponder over when he returned.

"Thank you, Senior." He sincerely bowed to the old man and said.

"Alright, alright, we each got what we wanted, so we don't owe each other anything. I'm very busy now and don't have time to entertain you. Go and take care of your own things." Elder Hu Yan waved his hand and said.

Han Li responded and then took his leave.

After leaving Tai Xuan Hall, he went straight back to Crimson Cloud Peak.

As soon as he entered his cave, he went straight to the small spirit medicine garden.

At this time, many spirit medicines had been planted in the medicine garden, and the giant ape puppet responsible for taking care of the spirit medicines was guarding the edge of the medicine field.

Han Li came to an empty spirit field in the southwest corner, squatted down, and used his hands to dig a shallow pit in the soft soil. He flipped his wrist, took out a walnut-sized soybean, threw it in, and then pushed the surrounding soil over to fill the pit.

This soybean was the mother bean he obtained from the Yellow Turban Giant in the Spirit Realm during his time in the Jing Yuan Temple.

According to the insights recorded in the booklet that Elder Hu Yan gave him, Bean Soldiers require a long time to take root and sprout after landing, but the specific time required is uncertain.

This is because different types of Bean Soldiers, and even different individuals of the same type, have some differences in their germination cycles, which are closely related to the quality of the Bean Soldier itself, the land in which it is planted, and the spirit liquid used.

Speaking of spirit liquid, the spirit liquid in his Palm Heaven Bottle should be the best choice.

However, because he had to ripen spirit medicines before, the spirit liquid in the small bottle had been completely used up. Therefore, he could only wait for the next spirit liquid to condense before using it for irrigation.

After finishing these things, Han Li looked at the other spirit medicines next to him. Under the irrigation of the giant ape puppet, some of them were already close to fifty thousand years old.

These spirit medicines had reached the age where they could be used, but he didn't have a suitable pill formula on hand.

Although there were ways to obtain pill formulas within the sect, refining pills was a process of skill and practice. And pills that were beneficial to the advancement of True Immortal Realm cultivators were definitely not easy to refine. Although he could try with his alchemy skills, he would inevitably experience several failures before he could truly refine them.

With the spirit stones and immortal essence stones he had on hand, he could be considered a bit wealthy among True Immortals of the same rank, but once he started refining pills, he might not really have enough.

He now had many mid- and low-grade magic treasures and spiritual materials. He needed to plan carefully how to sell them off in batches to prepare as much as possible for refining pills.

But before that, there were a few things he needed to take care of.

While thinking, he returned to the secret chamber.

After sitting down cross-legged, Han Li flipped his hand over and a delicate storage bracelet appeared in his palm. After a magic incantation, a large pile of colorful things appeared in front of him.

This storage bracelet was the one he seized from the unknown True Immortal elder who appeared in the Profound Ice Mountains.

Speaking of which, he didn't know where this old man came from. He seemed to have some information about the whereabouts of Bai Suyuans ancestor, and he appeared this time to kidnap Bai Suyuan. He didn't know what his purpose was.

It was a pity that he didn't manage to capture the other party's nascent soul, otherwise he could have thoroughly investigated him through soul searching.

Han Li thought to himself, skillfully sorting out the spirit stones, immortal essence stones, magic treasures, and spiritual materials, and putting them away one by one. Before long, only three things remained on the ground.

A large piece of dark gold metal covered in patterns, and two jade boxes, all of which were covered with several spirit light flashing white talismans, indicating that the things inside were extraordinary.

He first picked up the piece of dark gold metal. This thing was as big as a watermelon and looked exactly like the several pieces of gold ore he had obtained from the Mirage Beast.

Han Li looked at the metal in his hand and felt a little curious.

The Mirage Beast collected this thing, and the storage magic treasure of this unknown True Immortal elder also had this thing. It seemed that this metal should have some special use.

After thinking for a while, he flipped his hand and put the metal block away. He hadn't paid too much attention to this thing before. It seemed that he needed to find someone to identify it in his spare time to see what this metal actually was.

Then Han Li picked up a jade box. A blue light burst out from his hand and pointed at the talismans on it.

Those white talismans seemed to sense the threat and all shone with dazzling white light, trying to resist his actions.

Han Li sneered and flicked his finger.

Several blue sword energies flew out and instantly turned into several blue sword threads, entangled the white talismans, and twisted fiercely.

With a snap!

The white talismans were broken into several pieces and lost all spirituality.

He smiled faintly and opened the jade box.

Inside was a white token, the size of a palm, with a rather peculiar shape. It was relatively slender and didn't look neat, as if a naughty child had casually polished it out of jade.

Han Li reached out and picked up the token, bringing it close to his eyes to examine it carefully.

This token was crystal clear and the surface shimmered with a soft crystalline glow. It was definitely not an ordinary object and he couldn't recognize what material it was made of.

However, since this thing was collected so carefully, it must be extraordinary.

However, he used several methods and secret techniques to probe the inside and out of this token, but unfortunately, he still gained nothing.

He shook his head and put the white token back into the jade box, flipping his hand to put it away.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he would think about it later.

Finally, Han Li picked up the other jade box and also used magic to break the sealing talismans on the outside.

Inside the jade box was a yellowish book. It looked very old and the pages seemed to be made of some kind of animal skin.

Han Li picked up the book, glanced through it roughly, shook his head, closed the book, and put it back into the jade box.

This book had no cover and he didn't know its specific name, but looking at the contents recorded inside, it seemed to be a book recording the relevant content of refining weapons. It collected many techniques for strengthening and refining magic treasures, but some of them were unorthodox.

He still had many things to deal with now. If he had free time in the future, he would study it.

Han Li also put away this jade box, made a hand seal with one hand, and the Heavy Water True Wheel emerged, suspended in front of him.

His eyes flashed with blue light, and he reached out and summoned a small ball of heavy water from the True Water Bag, which swayed towards the black True Wheel.

At this time, the True Wheel was spinning slowly, its surface emitting bursts of dark and faint light.

As a result, when the ball of heavy water approached the True Wheel, the Water Dao pattern on the wheel immediately lit up with a water-blue light, emitting bursts of faint power of law from it.

The kind of attractive force that appeared when he fought with the True Immortal elder during the day reappeared, and the heavy water suspended beside it was sucked directly into the Heavy Water True Wheel with a "whoosh" sound.

Although it was very slight, the Heavy Water True Wheel became a little heavier again.

Seeing this, Han Li was overjoyed. The Heavy Water True Wheel could indeed continue to devour heavy water.

He waved his wrist again, and a bucketful of heavy water immediately surged out and poured down from the void towards the Heavy Water True Wheel.

The Water Dao pattern on the Heavy Water True Wheel shone brightly, devouring the heavy water like a cow drinking water, and quickly devoured most of the heavy water.

At this moment, an unexpected change occurred.

The ball of Water Dao pattern flashed wildly a few times, then suddenly dimmed and stopped devouring.

The connection between the Heavy Water True Wheel and his mind suddenly disappeared for the most part and became intermittent. The True Wheel suddenly lost its support and fell from the air, smashing towards the ground.

Han Li was quick-witted and grabbed the True Wheel, preventing it from falling to the ground.

However, his arm was also suddenly weighed down. After absorbing so much heavy water, the True Wheel was much heavier than before.

"What's going on?" Han Li was a little puzzled and muttered to himself.

Although it was initially just to cover his tracks, after he tried it, he found that the Heavy Water True Wheel was quite powerful in battle and might be of great use in the future. He didn't want to lose it.
