Chapter 378: Earth List

"Fellow Daoist Dragon Five, now that you have become a Son of Reincarnation, there is one more thing you need to know." Jiao San, seeing Han Li open his eyes, raised a hand and a yellow light flew toward Han Li.

Han Li caught it with one hand and found it was another jade slip. After glancing at her, he pressed the jade slip to his forehead.

After a moment, he took down the jade slip, formed a hand seal with one hand, and began to chant softly.

The surface of the crimson mask on his head glowed with red light, condensing into a crimson light screen before him.

Han Li swept his gaze over it, then without hesitation extended a finger and pointed at a small stone tablet pattern in the corner of the interface.

With a soft 'puff' sound,

a gentle white light shot out from the stone tablet pattern, condensing in midair into a white stone tablet shadow about ten feet tall.

At the top of the stone tablet, two large characters in ancient golden seal script read 'Earth List'.

Below were rows of small golden characters, listing some techniques, secret arts, and pill formulas.

Behind these techniques and pill formulas were annotations in small silver characters, and at the very end were numbers, seemingly prices.

Han Li glanced at them, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

"Mountain Refining Body Art, an earth-attribute True Immortal technique, refining the body with mountain essence... can be cultivated to the Golden Immortal stage. One hundred fifty points!"

"Tai Xu Spiritual Eye, when cultivated to great completion, can perceive heaven and earth, seeing all without obstruction. Two hundred points!"

"Primordial Spirit Pill Formula..."

"What you see now is the Reincarnation Hall's Earth List, open only to Sons of Reincarnation. These techniques and secret arts have been painstakingly collected by the sect over many years; I need not elaborate on their value. The points marked behind are the contribution points needed for exchange. Each time you complete a Reincarnation Hall task, you will receive some contribution points." Jiao San explained slowly.

"I see. It seems joining the Reincarnation Hall comes with many benefits. Any one of these items, if taken outside, would likely cause a fierce scramble. But for now, I can only look." Han Li nodded.

"Not at all. New Sons of Reincarnation not only receive the first layer of the Divine Refining Technique but also one hundred contribution points as encouragement. You can take your time to choose, or save them for later exchange." As Jiao San spoke, she flipped her hand and produced a crimson jade token, pointing it at the stone tablet shadow before Han Li.

A red light shot out from the jade token and vanished into the stone tablet in a flash.

At the bottom of the stone tablet, a cluster of shimmering light appeared out of nowhere, revealing a line of small characters that seemed to read 'one hundred'.

"Then I'll gratefully accept." Han Li felt a surge of joy, thanked Jiao San, and then continued browsing the Earth List.

He was just feeling eager at the dazzling array of treasures described on the Earth List, and this one hundred contribution points came just in time.

Suddenly, Han Li's eyes brightened.

On the stone tablet, there were indeed the formulas for the Divine Refining Technique, from the first to the seventh layer. Each layer had only a few brief lines of introduction, followed by the required contribution points.

Perhaps because they had already been circulated outside, the contribution points needed for the first three layers were not high, but starting from the fourth layer, the required points suddenly increased sharply.

The fourth layer required two thousand contribution points, and the fifth layer required ten thousand.

Han Li frowned slightly, but then relaxed.

Although he had not yet looked at the task rewards, judging from the contribution points needed for other treasures, ten thousand points was likely an astronomical figure, and accumulating them would certainly not be easy.

Of course, this was understandable. In the entire Northern Frost Immortal Domain, there were not many places where one could obtain this technique, and even fewer where he could access it.

Since he already had the fourth layer, he could handle the embarrassing situation of falling into madness for the time being. As for the later layers, he could slowly accumulate contribution points.

With this thought, Han Li shook his head and continued browsing downward.

After a moment, he suddenly paused, his gaze falling on a line of small characters somewhere on the stone tablet shadow.

"Golden Soul Pill formula—isn't this the thing the Crab Daoist mentioned before?" Han Li thought to himself, looking at the explanation behind the Golden Soul Pill.

After just two glances, his eyes immediately lit up.

The Golden Soul Pill's effect was not to enhance cultivation, nor to heal injuries or detoxify; its sole purpose was to stabilize the soul and reshape the spirit essence.

Most crucially, this pill was said to assist True Immortal late-stage cultivators in breaking through bottlenecks, increasing the probability of advancing to the Golden Immortal stage.

Han Li took a deep breath, his eyes flickering.

Over the years, to break through to the Golden Immortal stage, he had read many texts.

To break through to the Golden Immortal stage, one first had to open the thirty-six immortal apertures, survive the Three Heavenly Decays, and undergo a transformation of immortal spiritual power within the body.

Second was the soul, transforming from an ordinary soul to a Golden Immortal soul.

Although the soul transformation was not as difficult as opening immortal apertures or surviving the Three Heavenly Decays, it was by no means easy.

He shifted his gaze to the price of the Golden Soul Pill formula and felt another stir.

The requirement for the Golden Soul Pill formula was not high, exactly one hundred points.

"Fellow Daoist seems very interested in this Golden Soul Pill formula?" Jiao San asked upon seeing this.

"Fellow Daoist Jiao San, do you know why this pill, though valuable, requires only one hundred contribution points?" Han Li asked instead of answering.

"You may not know, but although the Golden Soul Pill greatly aids in advancing to Golden Immortal, its main ingredient requires a complete Golden Immortal Nascent Soul. How precious is that? It's simply impossible to come by! Let me remind you, earning contribution points in the Reincarnation Hall is very difficult. It's better to save these one hundred points and not use them impulsively." Jiao San warned.

Han Li nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

The Crab Daoist had already told him that the Golden Soul Pill required a Golden Immortal Nascent Soul. For other True Immortal cultivators, finding a complete Golden Immortal Nascent Soul was indeed extremely difficult, but he had one ready on him.

As he pondered, he quickly scanned the remaining entries and finally settled on the Golden Soul Pill.

Han Li extended a finger and pointed at the Golden Soul Pill formula.

"Fellow Daoist Dragon Five..." Jiao San frowned, unable to help speaking up.

"Thank you for the reminder, but I have decided. I will exchange these one hundred contribution points for this formula." Han Li nodded gratefully at Jiao San, his tone firm.

"Exchanging for what is your own business. According to regulations, anything obtained from this Earth List must never be passed on, not even to one's closest relatives. Violators will face severe punishment." Jiao San said flatly.

"Thank you for informing me." Han Li nodded.

He then formed a hand seal and pointed at the Golden Soul Pill. The contribution points below immediately decreased by one hundred, and the transmission vortex in the center of the interface flashed repeatedly.

After a moment, ripples arose in the vortex, and a white jade slip emerged.

Han Li took the jade slip, pressed it to his forehead, and probed it with his divine sense.

After a moment, he removed the jade slip, his expression calm, but inwardly delighted.

In the Golden Soul Pill formula, aside from the main ingredient of a Golden Immortal Nascent Soul, the other materials were not particularly rare and should not be difficult to gather.

"Fellow Daoist Dragon Five, although you have just joined the Reincarnation Hall and should have an adjustment period, there is a very important task that requires your immediate help." Jiao San suddenly spoke, her expression quite serious.

"No problem. Just tell me directly, Fellow Daoist Jiao San. What task is it?" Han Li showed a hint of surprise, then nodded.

"This task poses no danger to you; it is a pill-refining task." Jiao San smiled.

"A pill-refining task..." Han Li's expression relaxed upon hearing this.

If it was just pill refining, there was indeed no danger.

"After completing this task, Fellow Daoist Dragon Five can move freely for a thousand years. Moreover, completing this task will earn you fifty contribution points." Jiao San continued, flipping her hand to produce a jade slip and handing it over.

Han Li did not reach out to take the jade slip. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Although Daoist alchemists are rare, there should be some in the Reincarnation Hall. Why assign this task to a newcomer like me?"

"We did originally have a Daoist alchemist, but he has other important matters in recent years. So I have no choice but to entrust this to you, Fellow Daoist Dragon Five." Jiao San explained.

Han Li glanced at Jiao San, countless thoughts racing through his mind.

"To be honest, although this matter is a Reincarnation Hall task, it also concerns me personally. I earnestly ask for your help, Fellow Daoist Dragon Five." Jiao San hesitated slightly before speaking again, a note of pleading in her tone.

"I was able to join the Reincarnation Hall thanks to your recommendation, Fellow Daoist Jiao San. Since this matter concerns you, how could I stand idly by? I accept this task." Han Li smiled upon hearing this.

"Then thank you very much. I will remember this favor." Jiao San's eyes showed joy, and she cupped her hands solemnly.

"You don't need to be so polite, Fellow Daoist Jiao San. From now on, we belong to the same branch and should support each other." Han Li waved his hand.

In fact, having Jiao San owe him a favor was one of his purposes in accepting this task.

With this in mind, Han Li took the jade slip, pressed it to his forehead, and after scanning it with his divine sense, his expression changed slightly.

The jade slip indeed contained a pill formula, but it was no ordinary pill; it seemed to be a Dao Pill formula.

Yet it was different from a typical Dao Pill; the refining process was relatively simpler, as if some steps had been removed and some auxiliary materials replaced, making it seem somewhat incongruous.

And from its main ingredient being a yin-attribute material, it should be some kind of yin-attribute Dao Pill.

"How is it? Fellow Daoist Dragon Five, can you refine it?" Jiao San immediately asked as Han Li removed the jade slip from his forehead.

"I have never encountered this formula before, but the refining process is not too complicated. With my alchemy skills, I should be able to refine it." Han Li said after a moment's deliberation.

"Good, good! As long as you can refine it. Fellow Daoist Dragon Five, you have truly helped me greatly this time." Jiao San was overjoyed, saying 'good' twice.
