A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 105 Male and Female
Han Li's heart skipped a beat when he saw this person appear: Huangfeng Valley actually has such courage? They can even get this person to come.

Something's not right...

Linghu Laoguai, who was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, was not as confident and composed as he was now.

Could it be that Linghu has broken through?

"Mid-stage Nascent Soul stage...!"

The appearance of a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator quietly elevated the status of Yellow Maple Valley, surpassing Spirit Beast Mountain and second only to the Hidden Moon Sect.

Furthermore, a rare medicinal herb that had existed for thousands of years appeared in this forbidden area more than a thousand years ago.

No wonder Elder Linghu was willing to leave seclusion early and even personally participate in the battle.

Initially, he worried that three Core Formation cultivators wouldn't be able to tear a gap in the outer array of the forbidden area. This wasn't a matter of overall strength, but rather a matter of numbers.

Now, there's no need to worry.

Perhaps the old monster alone could tear a passage through the outer array.

“A thousand years ago, a powerful expert discovered through research that there are five nodes in this outer formation. As long as the five nodes are fixed and a fixed area is worn down, a gap can be opened during the weakened period of the formation.”

As Elder Linghu explained, he opened his right hand, and a short halberd appeared:
"go."

The short spear instantly transformed into a meteor, shooting towards the wind-attribute array of the crimson forbidden land. Its impact caused the entire outer perimeter of the array to tremble, creating visible spatial ripples. This force far surpassed the combined might of several Core Formation stage cultivators from years past.

For dozens of miles ahead, spatial folds were rippling.

It was like a huge boulder falling from a high altitude onto a calm lake.

Immediately afterward, another small yellow seal was thrown out by the old man in brocade robes. The seal grew to ten zhang in size and then slammed heavily onto the great formation.

This caused the spatial ripples to become even more intense.

“I have already fixed two array nodes. The three of you should also take charge and fix any one of the other three nodes.”

"Yes."

Master Hongfu responded and took action.

The red-tasseled sword transformed into a streak of crimson light, hundreds of feet long.

Huang Nie also made his move, unleashing a cloud dragon thirty to fifty feet long from a banner.

Uncle-Master Huiming unleashed two palm strikes, sending two blazing beams, each several meters thick, hurtling towards the formation. It was then revealed that Uncle-Master Huiming's palms were now adorned with a pair of almost transparent magical gloves.

This type of glove-like magical artifact is a rare find.

"Om..."

Before long, a crack slowly appeared in the wind-attribute array surrounding the forbidden area. Under the intervention of the three experts and an ancestor, the crack grew larger and larger, eventually forming a dark hole more than ten feet long.

"go in."

Linghu Laozu waved his hand and spoke.

"Whoosh..."

Han Li leaped out first and flashed into the gap in the formation.

The remaining disciples of Huangfeng Valley also swarmed in like a bee.

Seeing this, the old man in brocade robes stroked his beard and smiled:
"Little ones, now that there are no outsiders in the way, you'd better bring out some surprises."

Don't let him down.

A great opportunity lies within the forbidden area.

Once it appears, it cannot escape his discerning eye.

If he can seize that great opportunity, reaching the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm will not be a problem.

If one can become a great cultivator, one might one day be able to use their remaining lifespan to venture into the most dangerous place in the southern lands in search of elixirs to prolong life...

"Senior brothers and sisters, you will see. I will definitely revitalize Huangfeng Valley and bring it back to its former glory."

Linghu the Elder gazed intently at the dark, forbidden passage and murmured.

This is also the time.

Huang Nie stepped forward to pay his respects:

"Congratulations, Uncle-Master, on your great progress in cultivation, becoming one of the few Nascent Soul stage elders in Tiannan."

Even if you wear it a thousand times, you will never wear it.

Upon hearing this, Elder Linghu nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Hongfu and Huiming also stepped forward and bowed again:

"Congratulations, Martial Uncle..."

The other Foundation Establishment stage managers were even more invigorated: "Congratulations, Grandmaster..."

They knew all too well what the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm meant.

From then on, the disciples of Huangfeng Valley all had much stronger backs.

"Ah."

The old man in brocade stroked his beard and nodded, then turned to look at Hong Fu and the other two:
"Without the Moon Sun Pearl, can those disciples manage?"

"Reporting to Uncle-Master, we have had dozens of talisman makers and weapon refiners craft a large number of fog-dispelling talismans and cloud-scattering flags. With the help of these small items, the efficiency of collecting spiritual herbs will be greatly improved," Huang Nie said.

"Well, okay."

...

Bloodstained Forbidden Land.

internal.

After a dizzying moment, Han Li appeared near a sandy area.

"This is...the southeast side of the forbidden area?"

Based on the map information and the surrounding environment, he quickly determined his approximate direction.

Instead of quickly joining the other Yellow Maple Valley disciples, he reached into his spirit beast pouch and took out a golden treasure chest.

Upon opening the treasure chest, several afterimages darted out.

It was the Level 2 Wind Howling Eagle, which shrunk its size thanks to its Level 2 talent, along with the Scented Rat and the Twin-Eyed Rat.

The cramped space inside the treasure chest must have been suffocating these spirit beasts.

As for the Icefire Wolf and the Jade Mantis? Because of their large size and limited space inside the treasure chest, they cannot be smuggled into the forbidden area.

"Go and keep an eye on the surroundings for me."

Upon hearing this, the Wind Howling Eagle spread its wings and soared into the sky, growing from a mere two feet to a massive three feet tall. Once it reached a height of six or seven hundred feet, its sharp gaze swept across a radius of several miles, quickly locating the figures of three disciples from Yellow Maple Valley.

When it landed again a short while later, it shrank from three zhang in size to one or two chi in size and landed on Han Li's shoulder, informing him of the approximate location of the three of them.

"Well done, you came down to warn me when you noticed someone was there."

Han Li patted the eagle's head and praised it.

The Wind Howling Eagle affectionately nuzzled its master's hand before flapping its wings and soaring away again.

The great array restriction of the Crimson Forbidden Land is a sphere.

The radius is three to four hundred miles.

In other words, the height of this space reaches at most three or four hundred miles. The depth is the same.

As for the ancient restrictions existing high above the forbidden area, especially some of the flowing wind-attribute restrictions, as long as the demonic beasts and cultivators don't fly too high, not above three thousand feet, they won't be hit by those wandering restrictions. The Wind Howling Eagle can simply fly a few hundred feet high to survey the area below.

It is worth mentioning that it is very difficult for cultivators in the Qi Refining stage to detect the existence of the Wind Howling Eagle.

Because the Wind Howling Eagle possesses a chameleon-like talent.

It can change its body color to match its environment, achieving a similar effect to invisibility. For example, it can blend in with the color of white clouds, the azure sky, or even the sunset. This is the level 2 Wind Howling Eagle.

While Qi Refining stage cultivators possess keen observational skills, the divine sense of lower-level disciples can only extend to a hundred or so feet, at most two hundred feet. This limited range of perception is simply insufficient to detect the Wind Howling Eagle hundreds of feet in the air.

"You two can just rest on my shoulders."

Han Li held a small object in each hand.

He placed the two small objects on his shoulders.

On the left is a level 2 Sniffer Rat.

On the right is a Tier 1 top-tier dual-pupil rat.

The next moment, he mounted a level 3 giant wolf puppet and sped towards the center of the forbidden area at full speed.

The meager sums on the periphery are beneath his notice, given his current perspective.

soon.

Less than half an hour.

The giant wolf puppet, operating at full speed, carried him to the South Gate, a place he knew exactly where to go.

Prior to this, he had already retrieved the Wind Howling Eagle.

He dared not let Feng Xiaoying cross the city wall.

What appears to be an ordinary city wall, only a few meters high, is actually protected by extremely terrifying anti-flying restrictions and wind-attribute forbidden arrays. Attempting to fly over the city wall is tantamount to plunging headlong into a dangerous array of restrictions that could even kill a Core Formation expert or a Nascent Soul ancestor.

now.

No cultivators have arrived at the South Gate yet.

According to the sect leaders, the plan is to form teams of 30 to 40 people, each consisting of about 170 individuals. These teams will be given a day to thoroughly raid the surrounding resource points.

The following day, the group entered the central area.

The city wall in the central area has only four gates.

They will all converge near the city wall gate at that time.

Then, they spontaneously formed squadrons of eight to ten people, and a dozen or twenty squadrons went to conduct a thorough exploration of the central area.

"Although we did not have the Moon Sun Pearl this time, we did have small magic flags that could dispel the fog in the area, which were urgently crafted by high-level cultivators and sect weapon refiners, as well as basic talismans that were specifically designed to dispel fog."

Because it involved the full mobilization of the three major sects and families.

Tens of thousands of low-grade, beginner-level fog-dispelling talismans were refined, each costing only half a spirit stone.

Scattered cloud banners, one for each person.

Even Han Li received a small flag and more than two hundred fog-dispelling talismans.

"Moreover, each of the family members who entered this time possesses two top-tier magic artifacts and two level-1 top-tier spirit beasts..."

The configuration is undeniably luxurious.

The cultivators from Yellow Maple Valley who participated in the Blood Trial have probably never fought such a rich battle before.

This also shows that when a sect is given a real opportunity to get serious, its ability to act is extremely astonishing.

While the young members of the families in Huangfeng Valley were still leisurely exploiting the surrounding area, some even sightseeing, Han Li immediately plunged into the ring-shaped mountain in the central area.

He doesn't need a fog-dispelling talisman, nor a cloud-scattering banner.

With his late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation combined with the divine sense enhancement from the first level of the Great Evolution Technique, he could completely ignore the clouds and mist in the central area and move freely within the fog.

It's okay if you can't see.

One's divine sense is sufficient to capture the details of the surroundings.

Furthermore, he maintained a defensive shield throughout, and had twenty or thirty level 3 puppets clearing a path around him. Therefore, for any monster in the forbidden area to harm him, they would have to be extremely powerful and extremely powerful to have even a one in ten thousand chance.

Moreover, he also has level 2 sniffer rats and level 1 top-tier dual-eyed rats to provide early warning.

Despite being a level 2 demonic beast, the Spirit-Sniffing Rat may be small, only the size of a palm, and appear docile, cute, and harmless. In reality, it's a genuine Foundation Establishment stage being. Even if it's not a combat-type demonic beast, its inherent strength is enough to easily defeat the vast majority of level 1 demonic beasts.

In addition, the top-tier level 1 dual-eyed rats can rely on their innate spiritual eyes to ignore the interference of the fog and clearly perceive everything around them.

I don't expect this little thing to provide any combat power.

Providing just a few warnings will suffice.

"The area thirty to fifty miles outside this central area is mostly home to the three main raw materials for Foundation Establishment Pills. But the spiritual herbs I need now are no longer the three main ingredients of Foundation Establishment Pills, such as Purple Monkey Flower and Jade Marrow Mushroom, but many spiritual herbs from the ring basin group fifty miles deeper inside."

"The spiritual herbs there are all designed to help Foundation Establishment cultivators improve their magical power."

"We have no shortage of fine, even rare, medicinal herbs..."

After stroking his chin and pondering for a moment, Han Li reaffirmed his initial idea.

That meant he wouldn't take a single spiritual herb from the outer fifty miles; he'd leave them all for the Qi Refining disciples of Yellow Maple Valley. But from the deeper fifty miles, he wouldn't be polite with anyone; he wanted as many as possible. Oh, right.

He also had to climb more than a dozen other peaks over a thousand feet high, and even the only three-thousand-foot mountain in the northwest.

Because on the summits of these mountains, one might be able to find a few more ancient snow lotuses.

"Before we part, would you like to give me a few more?"

Xin Ruyin gave him the "Mysterious Female Transformation Infant Great Method," which is also the "Second Nascent Soul Secret Technique," and also passed on the Dao of Array Formation.

Xin Ruyin's move was, in a way, a reciprocation of kindness.
That person definitely wants to go further on the path of immortality, and most likely hopes that he can provide some final assistance.

"Given her intelligence, she must have guessed that I possess an ancient teleportation array here, and she also realized that when chaos erupts in Tiannan, I will use this ancient teleportation array to escape this place of trouble..."

"And once I leave, no one will be able to provide the cold-attribute spiritual medicines they need."

In other words.

Xin Ruyin went all in.

He attempted to use a gamble to secure one last act of assistance from him.

"If I were in your shoes, I probably would have gone all in too, right?"

Of course, it's his right not to help.

After all, it was a series of transactions where each party got what they needed from the beginning.

No one loses out; everyone gains, and it's a win-win situation.

To lend a helping hand is a favor.

If we meet again in the future, we will have much to say about this act of kindness.

...

Ten li, twenty li, thirty li...

A journey filled with bloodshed and violence.

Any beast that dared to block his path was wiped out by his puppet wolf pack, leaving not a trace.

Whether they are mid-to-lower level 1, upper level 1, or even top level 1, none of them are a match for any of his Foundation Establishment stage puppets, let alone a group of Foundation Establishment stage puppets.

Fifty li, sixty li, seventy li...

It went all the way to the depths, more than eighty miles away.

Looking at the soul tablet in his hand that trembled slightly and the unseen master-servant connection, Han Li looked towards a damp underground stone palace.

The map of the forbidden area inside the golden treasure chest indicates another underground swamp stone palace, where seven or eight kinds of spiritual herbs are nurtured.

One of them is called Blood Source Fruit.

It can cleanse and temper the bloodline of demonic beasts, making their bloodline stronger and also enhancing their physical strength.

Even in ancient times, this would have been quite rare.

The fruit takes a thousand years to ripen.

It is one of the main ingredients involved in the refining of several ancient elixirs.

These elixirs all have the effect of cleansing the marrow and rejuvenating the body, which helps improve the physique of cultivators who have reached the Core Formation stage and increases the upper limit of their magical power to a certain extent.

"Little Six is ​​here?"

"So that means it snatched this underground stone palace from other powerful demonic beasts?"

As Han Li was pondering, a strange noise came from inside the stone hall.

Sensing the approaching commotion, he prepared himself for battle and casually tossed out two fog-dispelling talismans, temporarily dispelling the fog within a radius of twenty or thirty feet.

The next moment, two large loaches, one green and one white, appeared.

One of them was as white as jade; it was none other than the Black Dragon Xiao Liu.

The other one, a deep green, is a venomous dragon.

The Ink Dragon and the Poison Dragon were similar in size, both over twenty zhang long, and very similar in many ways. However, the Ink Dragon differed from the Poison Dragon in that it had four claws and its bloodline appeared to be purer. The Poison Dragon, on the other hand, only had a pair of forelegs under its belly, lacking hind legs; its hind legs were merely a pair of protrusions.

"It's twenty zhang long? That's the size characteristic of a level three flood dragon..."

Ten years have passed, and Xiao Liu has actually gone from a newly promoted Level 2 to a Level 3 monster?
What rare and precious herbs has this guy been consuming all these years to achieve such rapid progress?

Han Li was greatly surprised.

Of course, what surprised him even more was that Xiao Liu, the male dragon, seemed to have found a female dragon who had also reached level 3.

"hold head high…"

Upon seeing the human Han Li, the venomous dragon immediately let out a vicious roar devoid of any kindness.

The next instant, it pounced forward, waving its front paws.

result.

Before Han Li could make a move, the black dragon first wrapped its tail around the poisonous dragon's tail and pulled it back. Then, under the poisonous dragon's puzzled gaze, it stepped forward a few feet and looked at Han Li, who was about ten feet away, playing with a soul tablet and surrounded by a large number of puppets.

In Xiao Liu's eyes, there was excitement, closeness, but also a complex mix of emotions including hesitation, estrangement, and resistance.

Han Li saw this and was not surprised.

This kind of thing is unavoidable.

After all, the spirit beast that was contracted 10 years ago had only been in close contact with the creature for two or three days before it was immediately released back into the forbidden area.

That was a separation that lasted ten years, not ten days.

The fact that Mo Jiao Xiao Liu didn't attack him right away already shows that the blood pact is reliable enough.

“Ang ang…”

Is that you...?

The black dragon let out a soft murmur.

Han Li immediately activated the blood pact restriction, causing the black dragon to shudder.
It's him, it's definitely him...

"Not bad, they didn't start off by shouting for war. Otherwise, I would have been in a real predicament."

As Han Li murmured to himself, he threw out a few pills and forced out a drop of blood.

The pills are all high-quality pills suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Pills that humans can take are naturally applicable to dragon-type demonic beasts as well. However, their effects will be somewhat diminished, making it more comprehensive and convenient to feed them "Spirit Feeding Pills," ancient elixirs specifically designed for spirit beasts and insects.

Along with the pill, a drop of blood containing the blood pact restriction was also released.

After the blood was released, it quickly hovered in front of the black dragon's forehead.

If the black dragon continues to acknowledge its master, it will not refuse.

If the giant loach no longer accepts it, it will rebel.

He naturally had two plans in mind.

A golden elixir paired with green radiance.

A handful of elixirs will be the reward.

The two sides face each other.

Mo Jiao's expression was full of conflict.

Han Li's expression remained calm throughout.

In the end, the black dragon did not refuse the pills, swallowing several high-quality spiritual pills that smelled fragrant. It also did not resist the drop of blood, allowing the drop of blood, which was full of blood pact restrictions, to sink into its brow, reinforcing the master-servant contract from years ago.

"It seems you've become quite smarter."

Han Li chuckled.

The venomous dragon beside her grew anxious and strutted over to look at the black dragon. How could her male dragon show favor to a two-legged sheep?

The black dragon swatted away the poisonous dragon with its claw, came to Han Li, lowered its head and prostrated itself on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Han Li leaped up.

After strengthening the master-servant contract, Mo Jiao's life and death were entirely in his hands, so what did he need to worry about?
The venomous dragon, however, was so anxious that its eyes turned red, and it let out an angry roar:

"Ho ho ho..."

My own male dragon was kidnapped by a two-legged sheep?
This two-legged sheep must be killed.

However, before Han Li could control the puppet beast army to destroy the poisonous dragon, the black dragon pounced out first, pinned the female poisonous dragon to the ground, and then began to communicate in the language of dragons.

During the process, the venomous dragon was filled with disbelief, and then began to struggle and resist violently.

Above Xiao Liu's head, Han Li could feel his own spirit beast hesitating, reluctant to leave.

After all, they've known each other for a long time, even if they haven't done anything intimate because they're both underage. But after spending so much time together, day and night, how could there really be no feelings at all?
"Woooo..."

The black dragon let out a sob.

Han Li couldn't stand it anymore and stomped on Xiao Liu's foot:
"What are you thinking? Do you think I'm the kind of heartless guy? Since your wife doesn't want to leave with us, then let's wait until I've gathered the medicinal herbs here, and then we'll leave. If she wants to stay, then let her stay."

Mo Jiao: "..."

When did my master become so easy to talk to?
“Hold it down, I’ll go gather herbs. Once we’ve gathered the medicinal herbs, we’ll leave this place.”

Han Li leaped out and entered the underground stone hall.

He looked down on this poisonous dragon.

The black dragon has four claws, making its bloodline undoubtedly purer.

Although the venomous dragon is already at level three, it only has its two front claws, and its hind legs are not yet fully grown. This indicates that its bloodline potential is far inferior to that of the venomous dragon. It only has slightly greater potential than the silver-armored horned python of Li Huayuan's martial uncle, but that's about it.

Right now, he's focused solely on reaching the third level of cultivation, so he doesn't have the energy to hunt for the inner cores of high-level dragons to cultivate a second dragon.
In the underground stone hall.

Han Li rummaged around and obtained more than a dozen spiritual herbs.

Surprisingly, one of them was a mature Blood Source Fruit with a medicinal age of a thousand years.

"Did Xiao Liu eat several in one go?"

Seeing the few gnawed spots on the branches of the Blood Source Fruit, Han Li felt a pang of heartache.

He then roughly guessed what was going on with the poisonous dragon outside the palace.

It should have started as a venomous python, a strange beast with some dragon blood.

After its bloodline was strengthened multiple times by the Blood Source Fruit in this place, it finally transformed into a dragon. However, because its bloodline potential was far inferior, the transformation was incomplete, and it still hadn't fully grown its hind legs. It will probably have to wait until it advances to level 4 or even level 5 before it can truly transform into a dragon.

This hybrid dragon has limited potential.

Reaching level six or seven would be quite an achievement.

Reaching level 8 transformation is extremely difficult.

He quickly looted the spiritual herbs and medicines from the underground stone hall, and then turned around and returned to the outside of the hall by the same route.

Not far from the exit of the stone palace, Xiao Liu was still suppressing the poisonous dragon.

At this moment, the venomous dragon mostly whimpered and did not put up a fierce resistance.

The two dragons' heads were touching, as if they were communicating with each other.

Seeing this, Han Li did not make a sound to disturb them at this time. Instead, he waited quietly for several dozen breaths until the black dragon released the poisonous dragon and came to him, where the dragon prostrated itself and bowed its head again.

“Ang ang…”

Xiao Liu spoke in a low voice.

"We'll come back in the future, so let it cultivate here for a few hundred years."

Han Li gently touched Xiao Liu's fair forehead to comfort him.

As long as you don't break through level four, there will be another day to meet again.

After saying that, he leaped up and jumped onto the broad back of this big guy.

Just before leaving, Xiao Liu turned back for one last, reluctant look at the Poison Dragon.

The venomous dragon simply lay on the ground, whimpering and howling.

A sense of desolation pervaded the air.

When Han Li witnessed this scene, it made him seem like a heinous villain.

"Let's go, we still have important things to do."
