Han Qing took the token, took out an ancient Transmission Jade Inkstone from his sleeve, and placed it on the table beside him.
He placed the token in the groove in the center of the jade inkstone, his fingertips glowing faintly as he quickly touched several specific runes on the surface of the inkstone.
The jade inkstone emitted a barely perceptible hum, and a fleeting glint of light flashed across its surface.
"The three Major Merit have been deducted."
Han Qing handed the token back, his voice remaining calm.
Fang Han took the token, put it in his pocket, and his gaze fell on the three jade bottles.
He uncorked the first jade bottle.
A familiar, delicate, and lingering fragrance wafted from the bottle.
The fragrance wasn't overpowering or pungent, but rather carried the freshness of a mountain forest after rain, like the ethereal beauty of Spiritual Qi herbs and flowers imbued with the spirit of dawn, penetrating the nostrils and reaching straight to the soul.
Inside the jade bottle was a large drop of viscous liquid, its color a warm, milky white.
When it sways slightly, it doesn't ripple like flowing water; instead, it has a gelatinous, stagnant feel, like jelly, shimmering with a precious glow.
Fang Han took a deep breath, and the fragrance filled his lungs, as if washing away some of the fatigue accumulated from days of cultivation.
I feel refreshed and my mind is exceptionally clear, as if I have taken a stimulating peppermint.
He put the cork back in the bottle, then uncorked the second and third.
The same fragrance, the same elegance.
Three drops of Earth Heart Stone Milk, confirmed.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Han Qing, but rather that this matter was of great importance, involving three Major Merit, so he had to be cautious.
He put the three jade bottles into his robes and looked at Han Qing, saying...
" Elder Han, this disciple would like to exchange for some rare Danyao."
Han Qing glanced at Fang Han, then turned and walked out of the stone chamber.
Fang Han followed behind him, passing through the underground cave and arriving at the door of another stone chamber.
The jade plaque in front of the stone chamber is engraved with three large ancient seal characters: " Danyao Chamber".
Han Qing took out the key, opened the stone door, and pushed it open to enter.
Inside the stone chamber, rows of sandalwood shelves were neatly arranged against the wall, filled with jade and porcelain bottles of various sizes.
Each bottle has a label indicating the name, quantity, and efficacy of the Danyao it contains.
The air was filled with a rich aroma of herbs, mixed with the unique fragrance of some plants, which invigorated the spirit.
Han Qing turned around and her gaze fell on Fang Han's face.
"What kind of Danyao does Fang True Disciple wish to exchange for?"
Fang Han, who had already thought it through before coming to the treasure vault, said.
"This disciple wishes to exchange for fifteen bottles of Earth Spirit Pill."
For him, who is now Second Grade martial artist, the effects of the True Spirit Pill are no longer sufficient, and only Danyao of the Earth Spirit Pill level can effectively assist his cultivation.
As the General Ranking of the sect, he receives five bottles of special resources as a reward each month, but the reward is not fixed and Earth Spirit Pill are not a monthly occurrence.
To have a stable supply, you must spend merit points to exchange for it.
Han Qing nodded slightly, turned around and walked to a row of wooden shelves, took down fifteen jade bottles from them and put them into a Cloth Pouch.
He handed the Cloth Pouch to Fang Han, his voice still calm.
"Fifteen bottles of Earth Spirit Pill, totaling one Major Merit."
Fang Han took the Cloth Pouch, then took out his Identity Token again and handed it over.
Han Qing took the token, then took out the Transmission Jade Inkstone again and operated it for a moment.
The jade inkstone flashed with a faint light.
"A Major Merit has been deducted."
Han Qing handed the token back.
Fang Han took the token and his gaze lingered on it for a moment.
Of the six Major Merit, after deducting the three Major Merit from the Earth Heart Stone Milk and the one Major Merit from the Earth Spirit Pill, only two remain.
There are still plenty of Vajra Pill left, so there's no need to exchange them for now.
He put away the token, picked up the Cloth Pouch containing fifteen bottles of Earth Spirit Pill, and bowed to Han Qing.
"Thank you, Elder Han. This disciple has no other needs for the time being."
Han Qing nodded slightly, said nothing more, and turned to walk out of the stone chamber.
Fang Han followed behind him, passing through the underground cave and heading out of the treasure vault along the deep passage.
As he reached the entrance to the treasure vault, he glanced back.
The treasures that have been stored in the underground cave for hundreds of years are displayed quietly under the cool glow of the Night-Luminescent Pearl, waiting for the next destined person to arrive.
If he could loot the entire treasure vault, it would definitely be enough for him to unlock Level Nine Amplification on his System Panel, and possibly even Level Ten Amplification.
Unfortunately, it's just a thought. If he were to do it, even with his status, he would be cutting himself off from the Azure Profound Sect.
However, if given the opportunity in the future, he wouldn't mind plundering the Nether Pavilion, which has a terrible relationship with the Azure Profound Sect.
"Boom!"
The heavy stone door slowly closed, isolating the treasure vault from the outside world.
Fang Han squinted slightly, adjusting his eyes to the change in light.
Han Qing stood with his hands behind his back on the stone steps, his long gray hair fluttering slightly in the wind, his stern face revealing no emotion.
"Fang True Disciple, please take care."
His voice remained hoarse and flat.
" Elder Han, please wait."
Fang Han bowed respectfully, then turned and walked down the mountain along the bluestone path.
His green robe fluttered slightly in the autumn wind, and the Cloudsplitter Sword at his waist swayed gently with his steps.
Because he carried three drops of precious Earth Heart Stone Milk, he moved extremely fast and soon returned to the No. 35 Annex.
Qui Lan heard the door open, looked up, and quickly went to greet her.
"Senior brother."
Fang Han nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping across the courtyard, and gave the instructions.
"I am going into seclusion to cultivate, and no one is allowed to disturb me."
"Yes, senior brother."
Qui Lan bowed in response.
Fang Han walked through the courtyard, entered the Quiet Room, and bolted the door shut behind him.
Wisps of smoke curled from the Sandalwood Incense burner, and a faint fragrance filled the air.
He walked to the futon, sat down cross-legged, and took out three Earth Heart Stone Milk from his bosom, placing them in a row beside him.
He reached out and picked up the leftmost jade bottle, pinching the stopper between his fingertips and applying slight pressure.
"Pop--"
With a very slight snapping sound, the cork was removed.
That familiar, delicate, and lingering fragrance instantly filled the air.
Fang Han took a deep breath, and without hesitation, tilted his head back, brought the bottle opening to his lips, and poured the incomparably precious Earth Heart Stone Milk into his throat.
When the stalactite enters the mouth, it has no sticky feeling; instead, it seems to have a life of its own, automatically sliding down the throat.
The flavor is not complex; it possesses only an extreme purity and sweetness.
The next instant, an extremely comfortable, cool sensation suddenly erupted from the depths of his Qi Sea.
The coolness wasn't the biting cold of winter, but rather a refreshing coolness like drinking sweet spring water in the sweltering summer, or like soaking in an ancient, icy pool.
The chill spread rapidly, like an invisible tide, instantly surging into his limbs and bones, every meridian, every bone, and even the smallest cell.
Fang Han closed his eyes, his body involuntarily leaning back slightly.
The feeling was so wonderful, as if my whole body was enveloped in an indescribable comfort.
A cool breeze washed over and cleansed his body, and wherever it passed, his body began to transform.
It was a leap in the level of life, a transformative metamorphosis.
Time lost its meaning at this moment.
Fang Han was completely immersed in this wonderful transformation, forgetting the outside world and forgetting himself.
On his body surface, a little bit of grayish-black, sticky sweat with a slightly fishy smell began to seep out.
Those are cellular debris produced during cell renewal, impurities that are expelled from the body.
Before you know it, an hour has passed.
When the icy, powerful energy in his abdomen finally fully integrated into his body, completed its transformation, and slowly subsided, Fang Han finally awoke from that state of complete absorption.
He opened his eyes, glanced down at the thin layer of grayish-black grime on his arm, and frowned slightly.
It didn't stop.
He reached for the second jade bottle, uncorked it, and poured the second drop of Earth Heart Stone Milk into his throat.
That familiar, icy aura erupted once again from the depths of his Qi Sea.
The cool air spread throughout his body once more, washing and cleansing him.
The transformation happens again.
Another hour later, the second transformation was complete.
Fang Han opened his eyes and, without pausing, reached out and picked up the third jade bottle.
Uncork the bottle and pour the last drop of Earth Heart Stone Milk into your throat.
The icy aura erupted for the third time, spread for the third time, and washed over and cleansed his body for the third time.
The transformation occurred for the third time.
Another hour later.
The last trace of cold air finally completely entered his body, Fang Han slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.
He looked down at his hands.
A thin layer of grayish-black oily grime covered the skin, impurities expelled after three consecutive transformations.
Beneath this layer of oil and grime, the skin subtly revealed an unprecedented radiance and glow.
He could feel that his body had become more transparent and lighter than before.
It was an indescribable feeling, as if some invisible shackles had been broken, or as if something dormant had been awakened.
Just as he was about to circulate the < Azure Profound Art > to carefully experience the changes in his physical constitution, an unbearable stench entered his nostrils.
That was the smell emanating from the layer of grayish-black grease on his body.
Fang Han frowned slightly, stood up, and pushed open the door to the Quiet Room.
In the courtyard, Qui Lan was waiting under the eaves with two Maid. When she heard the door open, she looked up.
"Prepare hot water, I want to take a bath."
Fang Han gave the instructions.
"Yes, senior brother."
Qui Lan bowed in response, then turned and quickly left.
Before long, the hot water was ready.
Fang Han stepped into the tub, and the warm water washed over his body, gradually removing the layer of grayish-black grime from his skin.
He scrubbed vigorously until his skin was clean, then got out of the tub and changed into a clean blue robe.
I feel much refreshed.
He returned to the Quiet Room, sat cross-legged again on the futon, and bolted the door shut behind him.
He took out a jade bottle from his Storage Ring, poured out a Earth Spirit Pill, and put it into his mouth.
The Danyao melted instantly upon entering the mouth, and a warm yet powerful medicinal force spread throughout the abdomen, surging towards the limbs and bones.
"I wonder how much improvement it will bring?"
Fang Han closed his eyes, and the < Azure Profound Art > slowly began to circulate.
The azure-gold Internal Qi flowed through the meridians, absorbing and refining the medicinal power of the Earth Spirit Pill.
It transforms into strands of pure Internal Qi, which flow into the Qi Sea and then into the Hearing Palace Acupoint.
One week.
Two cycles.
Three cycles.
Fang Han focused his mind on his body, carefully sensing the rate at which his Internal Qi was increasing, and comparing it with his memory of his state before taking three drops of Earth Heart Stone Milk.
