Chapter 991: Powerless
Han Li accepted the jade vial, then removed the stopper to discover a ball of white light slowly circling around within the jade vial while pulsing rhythmically as if it were a living creature.
At the center of the ball of light was a white pill that was riddled with countless specks of light, and it was giving off bursts of tremendous life energy.
The aura emanating from the pill was rather similar to that of Daoist Xie's heart, and Daoist Xie explained, "This is a True Profound Pill, which I refined using my own essential energy in conjunction with many other types of precious ingredients. The pill contains a great deal of True Profound Essence, a sufficient amount to support your future progression to the Great Encompassment Stage."
Han Li was both stunned and ecstatic to hear this. He had seen the term "True Profound Essence" brought up many times in scriptures, and it was vital for a breakthrough to the Great Encompassment Stage.
In order to progress to the Great Encompassment Stage, not only did one have to open three hundred and sixty immortal acupoints, most importantly, one had to undergo a process to evolve their soul into a Great Encompassment True Soul, and True Profound Essence was required for this evolutionary process.
True Profound Essence was extremely precious, and it was said that only after passing through heavenly astral winds to reach the extrarealm space would one be able to find small amounts of this essence in the purest and loftiest place in all of heaven and earth.
It was only now that Han Li finally realized that Shi Zhanfeng had most likely entered the Scalptia Spatial Domain in order to obtain sufficient True Profound Essence to facilitate his future Great Encompassment Stage breakthrough.
"You have my thanks, Fellow Daoist Xie," Han Li said as he accepted the jade vial, and Daoist Xie was quite pleased to see this.
"Rest assured, I won't accept something so precious from you free of charge. Once I attain sufficient power, I'll be sure to return and assist you," Han Li promised with a serious expression.
"I'll have to thank you in advance then, Fellow Daoist Han. This True Profound Pill alone is nowhere near enough to make up for everything that you've already done for me, so feel free to call upon me if you need my help with anything in the future," Daoist Xie replied with a smile.
A thought occurred to Han Li upon hearing this, and he said, "Now that you mention it, I really do have something that I require your assistance with."
"Oh? What is it?" Daoist Xie asked.
