A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

Seven Flames Fan

“Could it be that Brother Lu has another method of distribution?” Han Li’s eyes flickered as he asked indifferently.

“If the jade box and medicine bottle were ancient treasures, then it wouldn’t be a problem for the three of us to each take two treasures. But now, the jade box and medicine bottle…”

Marquis Nanlong suddenly interjected, “We still don’t know what’s inside the jade box and medicine bottle. Naturally, we’ll have to open them first before dividing the treasures according to their value.”

When Lu Weiying heard this, he frowned and nodded repeatedly, “That’s what I meant. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Han?”

“I have no objections. We’ll do as you say!” Han Li said without any hesitation.

“Since Fellow Daoist Han is so straightforward, I’ll take a look at what’s inside.” Marquis Nanlong was very satisfied with Han Li’s straightforward reply.

He immediately extended his hand, and the white jade box flew into his grasp with a swoosh. He then slapped the jade box with the back of his hand, intending to open it.

However, just as his hand made contact with the box, white light suddenly flashed and a layer of misty white light appeared, repelling his hand.

Marquis Nanlong faltered slightly upon seeing this before muttering to himself, “Huh! This box is actually restricted.” Golden light flashed from his hand as he reached for the box.

This time, white light also appeared, intertwining with the golden light.

However, a short moment later, the golden light was clearly unable to withstand the golden hand. The golden hand slowly grabbed the lid and forcibly opened it.

The white light immediately dissipated.

Han Li focused his gaze and immediately saw the item in the box. It was a slightly yellowed ancient jade slip.

Under Lu Weiying’s astonished gaze, Marquis Nanlong hesitated for a moment before gently placing the jade slip onto his forehead.

In an instant, he swept his spiritual sense past the contents of the jade slip and revealed an astonished expression.

“Fellow Daoists, come and take a look!” In order to avoid suspicion, Marquis Nanlong quickly removed the jade slip and tossed it to Han Li.

Han Li’s expression changed. He took the jade slip and also infused his spiritual sense into it.

A short moment later, he unconsciously frowned and returned the jade slip to Lu Weiying.

Lu Weiying also hastily glanced at the contents of the jade slip.

Before the old man finished reading, he muttered, “What ancient treasure is the Seven Flames Fan? I’ve never heard of it. Is this ancient treasure very powerful?”

Marquis Nanlong said with uncertainty, “I’m not too sure. However, since the refinement method was so solemnly recorded in the jade slip and the materials used are mostly Spirit Materials, it should be very powerful, right?”

Lu Weiying shook his head and tossed the jade slip back to Marquis Nanlong. “No matter how powerful it is, it won’t be of much use. The amount of Spirit Materials required to refine this treasure is far too great. Although there is a refinement method for the Spirit Materials, it requires the fusion of eighty-one types of fire-attribute materials, as well as so many supplementary materials. Some of these materials seem to have long since disappeared from this world. This jade slip is of little value and can only be used for tool refinement research.”

Marquis Nanlong smiled and casually placed the jade slip back into the jade box as if he agreed with Lu Weiying.

“Seven Flames Fan? Master, does this jade slip really record the refinement method for this treasure?” Just as Han Li felt that this jade slip was useless, Silvermoon’s pleasantly surprised voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

Han Li’s heart stirred when he heard this, and he immediately replied with a voice transmission.

“That’s right, that’s the name. Why? Do you know of this ancient treasure?”

“Master, if I remember correctly, this Seven Flames Fan is also one of the Divine Spirit Treasures. However, its ranking seems to be extremely low among the Divine Spirit Treasures. It’s almost at the bottom.” Silvermoon’s voice trembled slightly as she couldn’t help but repeatedly say this.

“Divine Spirit Treasure!” Hearing this, Han Li was shocked and could not help but be stunned.

“What? This Seven Flames Fan is a Divine Spirit Treasure? In that case, I must obtain this jade slip. I’ve long wanted to study Divine Spirit Treasures. Now that there is a refinement method, it can’t be better.” Before Han Li could answer, Monarch Great Development, who had not spoken recently, suddenly shouted excitedly in Han Li’s mind.

Silvermoon’s voice turned cold upon hearing Monarch Great Development’s words, and he angrily said, “What nonsense are you spouting, old monster?”

Monarch Great Development chuckled in a nonchalant manner and said, “You little demon fox, you’re still holding a grudge against me for what happened that day. It’s just that I’ve never seen an Artifact Spirit with intelligence, so I suggested that I borrow you for research. Didn’t your master refuse?”

“You…”

“Alright, Silvermoon! This matter has long passed, so there’s no need to worry about it. However, I’m rather surprised that Senior knows about the Divine Spirit Treasures. However, now isn’t the time to talk about it in detail. Let’s talk about it in the future,” Han Li said coldly. Then, he turned his gaze to the jade box on the ground and saw that Marquis Nanlong had already taken out two black medicine bottles and was opening them.

Silvermoon immediately tactfully gave up. Although Monarch Great Development felt somewhat displeased, he could only mutter a few words under Han Li’s control and remain silent.

As soon as the black medicine bottle was opened, a faint fragrance wafted out from within.

Han Li only took a whiff of it and felt his entire body relax. He could not help but perk up.

Marquis Nanlong took out an emerald-green pill from the bottle and held it in his hand. He hesitantly said, “This doesn’t seem to be one of the most common ancient spirit pills. I don’t know what kind of spirit medicine it is, but it definitely isn’t a harmful poison. I must go back and look through the records.”

The corner of Lu Weiying’s eyes stirred as he stared at the pill and slowly asked, “How many pills are there in the medicine bottle?”

Marquis Nanlong poured the empty bottle a few more times in front of Han Li and the old man before saying, “There is only one! It seems to be a rare type of Ancient Spirit Pill.”

“Let’s look at the other medicine bottle!” Lu Weiying’s voice began to tremble.

Marquis Nanlong nodded and poured the pill back into the bottle. He then opened the other bottle and poured out an identical green pill.

Marquis Nanlong and Lu Weiying looked at each other in astonishment.

“It seems that the harvest this time is not bad. There are three ancient treasures, two unknown medicinal pills, and an ancient treasure refinement method. How do you plan to distribute them?” Han Li smiled and asked leisurely.

Marquis Nanlong looked at the two medicine bottles in his hand and calmly said to Han Li, “Although I don’t know what kind of spirit pills these two pills are, I believe Fellow Daoist Han should know that our main objective in entering the valley is to find spirit pills. Fellow Daoist Lu and I plan to each take one of these pills, so we’ll split them. Fellow Daoist Han may choose one of the remaining ancient treasures first. Does Fellow Daoist have any objections?”

When Han Li heard this, he frowned slightly and looked at the ancient treasures on the ground.

Han Li stroked his chin and shook his head as he said, “I don’t need to tell you the value of the Ancient Spirit Pills. To be honest, I’d rather not have the ancient treasures and take one of them. Perhaps I can make a huge progress in my cultivation!”

Marquis Nanlong and Lu Weiying’s expressions changed drastically upon hearing Han Li’s words, revealing nervousness. After a moment of uncertainty, Nanlong forced a smile and said, “Fellow Daoist Han, you’re so young, so why are you fighting with us for these two pills? With your talent to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage in such a short period of time, it’ll be easy for you to obtain the supreme Dao in the future.”

Han Li said softly with an indifferent expression. “Just because I’m young doesn’t mean I don’t want the pills right in front of me. I naturally have to fight for them with all my might. I can give up all the other treasures for these two pills. To be honest, I don’t lack ordinary ancient treasures.”

When Lu Weiying saw that Han Li was determined to acquire the pill, he anxiously said, “Brother Han must be joking. How about this? As long as Brother Han is willing to give up the pill, we can let Brother Han choose another treasure first. We can split the rest equally. What do you say, Brother Nanlong?”

Marquis Nanlong’s brows furrowed upon hearing this, but he soon smiled wryly and said, “As long as you’re willing to give up on these pills, Fellow Daoist Han can choose two treasures first.”

Marquis Nanlong wore a reluctant expression when he said those words.

After all, during his trip to the Moulan Plains, almost all of his ancient treasures had been destroyed by the Ghost Spirit Sect. He was naturally very reluctant to part with these ancient treasures that were about to be obtained. However, if it was for the Ancient Spirit Pills, he was very clear on which was more important.

At this moment, Han Li’s expression changed and revealed a trace of hesitation, as if he was tempted by this suggestion.

When Lu Weiying saw this, he hastily tried to strike while the iron was hot.

“Fellow Daoist still has a long lifespan. You’ll have plenty of time to find spirit pills in the future. In comparison, ancient treasures are more important to you now. After all, you’ll definitely experience many battles in the future. Now that you have more ancient treasures, you might be able to save your life in the future.” The old man persuaded Han Li to give up the spirit pills.

Han Li could not help but chuckle.

“It seems that if I don’t give up on those spirit pills, we’ll have a hard time distributing these treasures. Alright, seeing how sincere the two of you are, I’ll agree not to take these two ancient spirit pills, and I won’t have to take away the two ancient treasures either. Aside from this mirror, you can just give me the treasure refinement method and those materials in this jade box. I’ve always been quite interested in tool refinement,” Han Li said in an unhurried manner as he made a grabbing motion toward the ground, and the purple mirror flew into his hand.

Marquis Nanlong and Lu Weiying were stunned for a moment before exchanging a glance. “No problem. We’ll do as you say, Brother Han.”

Although they had some doubts about why Han Li did not take the ancient treasures and wanted those things, they could not be bothered to think about it in detail for the sake of the Ancient Spirit Pills.

When Han Li heard their reply, he nodded with a calm expression. With a flash of light from his hand, the ancient purple mirror disappeared. Then, he swept his sleeve across the materials and jade box on the ground.

After a flash of azure light, the large pile of materials and the jade box disappeared.
