Chapter 20: Marrow Extraction Pill
Leaving the cliff was already quite a distance away, and one could still faintly hear their bickering; how these people would end up dealing with the dispute between Wang Dafang and Zhang Changgui was not something Han Li would care much about anymore.
He couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart when he thought of Jin Dongbao standing still, frozen in place. He felt so relaxed at this time, no longer having that depressed feeling he had in the valley.
He pierced out of the pine forest and walked towards a more remote area, and after walking casually for a while, a thin stream appeared before his eyes.
Han Li raised his head to look at the scorching sun in the sky, and then looked down at the gently flowing clear water in the brook, thinking that scrubbing in the brook would be a good idea.
As he bent down and had just inserted his hands into the cool stream water, a painful groan came from the upper reaches of the stream.
Han Li was surprised that there could be people in such a remote place.
He followed the moaning sounds and searched towards the upstream of the creek, where a person in Inner Sect disciple attire was facing the ground, lying on his back by the side of the creek, twitching his body ceaselessly, and his limbs were shivering uncontrollably.
Han Li could tell at a glance that the disciple was suffering from an acute illness, and if he didn't lend a hand, he feared that his life would be in danger.
He rushed over with an arrow step, took out a sandalwood box from his bosom, opened it and took out a shining silver needle, and cleanly stabbed it at the acupoints on this person's back.
He quickly finished zapping the acupoints on his back, and flipped this person's entire body over, ready to zap the acupoints on his chest again.
As soon as he turned over, the person's face was revealed, and Han Li sucked in a breath of cold air, this dying person was clearly the "Senior Brother Li" who had just displayed his power on the cliff.
Han Li froze for a moment and carefully observed the face that he had seen not long ago.
At this moment, Li where there was just defeated the opponent, brave and invincible dashing look, an originally cold face because of the pain wrinkled into a ball, the corners of the mouth constantly flowing out of the white foam, it is clear that this Li has been in pain to the point of delirium.
Han Li regained his composure, and after a bit of contemplation, he suddenly used the silver needle in his hand to stab his body in a flowing stream, continuously stabbing dozens of needles, and when he finished the last needle, Han Li wiped the beads of sweat seeping out of his forehead, and let out a long breath of air, this kind of silver needle first aid method was also a not-so-small load for him.
When Elder Brother Li's entire body was covered in fine silver needles, he finally woke up and regained his senses.
"You are..." he laboriously tried to say something, but his breath was insufficient and he couldn't spit out the next few words.
"I'm from the Divine Hand Valley, stop talking and recover your strength first, I can only save you from waking up for this moment, this is a very strange disease you have, I guess only Dr. Mo can save you, it's a pity that he's not on the mountain right now." Han Li took Senior Brother Li's pulse and frowned.
"Medicine... in..." senior brother Li's face grew anxious, his lips twitching a few times as he tried to raise his arm to say something, but was unsuccessful.
"You have the medicine to cure your illness on you?" Han Li immediately comprehended his meaning and asked back speculatively.
"Uh-huh!" Seeing that Han Li had comprehended his meaning, Senior Brother Li relaxed his expression and nodded his head in a strained manner.
Han Li wasn't polite and searched through his body, finding many miscellaneous items, one of which was a small white jade bottle that he picked out, this bottle was so valuable and sealed so well, it must be what he was looking for.
He picked up the bottle and looked back at Elder Brother Li's expression, and sure enough, he was now filled with joy and desperately blinking his eyelids.
Han Li opened the lid of the bottle, and surprisingly, there was no medicinal scent wafting out, but instead, a thick, fishy odor poured out of the bottle.
As soon as Han Li smelled this odor, his face instantly turned ugly as he carefully poured out a pink medicinal pill from inside, it was unbelievable that this medicinal pill, which was so beautifully pink, emitted such an unpleasant odor.
"Is it this pill?" Han Li's face regained its calm.
Senior Brother Li was too anxious to speak at this point and could only blink his eyelids.
"Medulla Extraction Pill, made from twenty-three rare items such as Hoplite Orchid, Scorpion Tail Flower, Centennial Blue Ant Egg⋯⋯, etc., the appearance of the medicine is pink in color after its completion, with a strange fishy odor, and after taking it, it can drastically overdraw the body's potential, and can be used to enhance the current abilities of the person who takes the medicine with the life span of the person later on, am I right in what I've said above?"
Han Li coldly looked at Senior Brother Li and spoke the above words word for word with an undeniable tone.
As soon as Senior Brother Li heard what Han Li said, his face immediately turned pale and bloodless, revealing a panicked expression.
"Once this medicine is consumed, it must be taken again every so often, and one must endure the inhuman pain of having one's tendons drawn and marrow sucked. If you don't eat it, your entire body will be paralyzed if it's light, or you'll lose your life if it's heavy, and even if you take the medicine on time every time, you're bound to lose your life due to overdrafting your life within ten years after the first use." Han Li didn't stop and continued.
"Don't tell me that this pill in my hand isn't the Marrow Extraction Pill." Han Li paused in his speech.
When Senior Brother Li heard this, his face had taken on a look of despair at being exposed, but his eyes still showed a look of unimaginable, ten thousand percent surprise.
"Do you find it surprising that this medicinal pill is extremely rare, how could I recognize it?" Han Li could see the doubt in his heart and turned the conversation to speak about himself.
"It's actually very simple, I've also taken a pill of this kind." Han Li's words broke through, and with one sentence, Senior Brother Li was completely stunned, but then revealed a look of disbelief.
"The way I took this medicine was different from you, I took a total of one pill, and also divided it into ten portions, splitting it into ten times to take it, each time treating it as a lead for other medicines, so there weren't any side effects that harmed my body. Because the difference between the look of this pill and the odor it emits is too obvious, I have a very deep impression of this medicine, and I used to think that apart from the pill I took, there shouldn't be anyone else in the world who would actually take this kind of secret medicine, but I didn't expect there to be one person within this sect." After saying these words, Han Li looked at Senior Brother Knight with a gaze that seemed to be one of admiration, but also one of pity.
Unwilling to meet this gaze of Han Li's, Senior Brother Li closed his eyes gently, only for his chest to rise and fall, indicating that his current mood was chaotic.
"You've been taking this pill for several years now, right, if you stop taking this pill now, I can beg Dr. Mo to help you with another pair of secret medicines, although it can't restore your entire life span, but it's still possible to let you live for twenty to thirty more years, however, your martial arts skills are going to be unprotectable, if you continue to take this pill, judging from your seizure today, you're still able to live for five to six years at most, and of course in During these years your martial arts will progress faster and faster, much faster than your current rate of refinement. Since you dare to eat this kind of secret medicine, must also be a resolute and decisive person, your own body by your own to take the idea well, this pill you are eating or throw away?"
