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

Chapter 109 Why must you court death?
"Uncle Han, Junior Sister Linghu was just curious and meant no harm."

A member of the Lei family spoke up to smooth things over.

However, when he looked at the vanished mountain path behind Han Li, his expression was inscrutable, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Hmph, you're afraid of him, but I'm not."

The female cultivator from the Linghu family snorted coldly.

She is a direct descendant of the Linghu family, a young genius with dual spiritual roots, highly regarded by the family elders, and a potential Core Formation cultivator.

In terms of true status, how could it compare to the pseudo-spiritual root before us?
Moreover, although this person is nominally a Foundation Establishment stage senior uncle, he has actually fallen in cultivation level for unknown reasons and is now just a low-level Qi Refining stage disciple like them.

What gives them the right to boss them around?
If things really fall apart, we can just have a fight.

She refused to believe it. Seven people armed to the teeth couldn't possibly defeat a so-called senior uncle who had fallen from his cultivation level?!

Seven against one, the advantage is on me.

"Junior sister..."

Some people frowned, feeling that it was wrong to talk back to their senior uncle in the sect.

However, he also quite agreed with some of the woman's views, thinking that Han Li's domineering attitude was a bit excessive.

Why couldn't they enter the passageway in the mountain wall to find out what was going on?
Could this person be hiding some shady secret?

therefore.

His idea was...

After the man surnamed Han left, they also made a show of leaving the place. They planned to explore the nearby medicinal herb producing areas first before returning to further explore this great snow mountain.

There's absolutely no need to confront them right now.

Linghu Junior Sister's domineering attitude is also quite inappropriate.

"Hehe, my fellow disciples, I, Han, have painstakingly discovered the benefits of this place. How could I possibly share them with others for nothing? What do you all think? Therefore, I have come up with a compromise: I will take you to another place where spiritual herbs are produced and give you some of them. What do you all think?"

Han Li put away his oppressive aura and spoke kindly again.

Inside the sleeve, fragments of a silk handkerchief were already concealing something.

Upon hearing this, the seven people remained silent.

That makes perfect sense: first come, first served.

But it also makes no sense: the Crimson Forbidden Land isn't yours, Han Li's, domain, so why shouldn't people be allowed to explore this great snow mountain in depth? Even if nothing had been discovered here before, this discovery was entirely due to you. But you still can't keep everything to yourself, you can't deny them any clues...

In short, they just wanted to go in and take a look.

"Uncle-Master, how about we just go in for a quick look and not take anything?"

A member of the Lei family probed.

"Ugh…"

Why do you have to force me to this point, why do you have to make me court death?

Han Li sighed inwardly.

"Alright, you can go in and take a look, but you'll have to give me a mid-grade spirit stone first. Don't think I'm making things difficult for you; the benefits inside are far more than a few spirit stones can measure."

Either spend spirit stones or leave.

The seven people exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief.

A decision was quickly made:

"Alright, we'll each take one spirit stone. Please, Uncle-Master, don't make things difficult for us..."

"certainly…!"

Han Li smiled amiably.

"By the way, my fellow disciples, why is there only your team here? Where are the others?"

"There aren't many teams that can break through the layers of fog and venture deep into this place. Our team may not be the best, but it's definitely in the top tier," the female cultivator from the Linghu family said proudly, her neck slightly raised.

"That's good."

Han Li nodded slightly, his smile becoming even more composed.

When that smile fell on the eyes of two of them, their hearts pounded wildly, and they instinctively backed away, trying to get away from the crowd.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

"She's quite clever..."

Han Li glanced indifferently at the two corpses.

That's right.

The two were already corpses.

Just moments before, a transparent needle, invisible to the naked eye and even difficult for a late-stage Core Formation cultivator to detect, flew silently from his sleeve.

It is the Invisible Needle Talisman Treasure that has been activated.

In an instant, the seven people were struck by a fatal blow without even realizing it.

Just before they died, the pain belatedly returned, and they realized they had been attacked. Their eyes widened in shock and disbelief.

Each of the seven had a small, bloody hole pierced between their eyebrows by invisible needles. The destructive power, like a bone-deep infection, spread throughout their bodies, ravaging their primordial spirit and physical vitality.

"why?"

Before the female cultivator died, her mouth was open, as if she were questioning someone.

She's a direct descendant of the Linghu family, a prodigy with dual spiritual roots, and a future seed for Core Formation. Moreover, their Linghu family patriarch is right outside the forbidden area. How dare this pseudo-spiritual root cultivator, whose cultivation has plummeted, attack her? Aren't they afraid of the patriarch's investigation?
Furthermore, all medicinal herbs harvested within the forbidden area must be handed over, and merit points are awarded based on their value. Killing them now wouldn't allow us to hide those herbs, so why bother?
She couldn't figure it out.

The other six, before their consciousness faded, only wanted to curse the woman's stupidity.

Do you really think the name "Bloody Forbidden Land" is just a hoax?
Bloodshed, bloodshed—where does one care about status or position in the outside world?
Here, only strength matters.

Only by surviving does one's external status and identity have any meaning.

Damn it, this woman has really screwed me over this time.

...

Han Li did not take the storage bags from the others.

Including the forbidden medicinal herbs in his storage bag. With his current wealth, why would he need to covet such a small amount?
What he didn't know was.

It was precisely because of his caution that he avoided a huge pitfall.

The storage bags of the group contained items that had been marked in a very subtle way.

If you leave the forbidden area with that thing in your pocket, you'll definitely get mud in your pants, or even if it's not shit... you'll die.

He buried the storage bag, collected the corpses of several people, and fed them to the monsters. In short, he successfully disposed of the evidence.

My mood improved considerably afterward.

"Tch, what bad luck."

previously.

He originally intended to use his status to forcibly take the seven people away, thus preserving the secret of this place. As long as he had the seven people with him, he could offer them a portion of the subsequent harvest of spiritual herbs as compensation.

Regardless of how much the seven people suspected him, or what they suspected he had discovered inside, without concrete evidence, they could not be certain of what he had obtained, thus preventing Linghu Laoguai from coveting it.

But among the seven, some chose not to live.

You just have to jump around in front of him.

Killing this person alone is definitely not going to work.

What would happen if the others went out?

He couldn't bear the guilt of murdering a fellow disciple, especially a direct descendant of the Linghu family. Old Monster Linghu would definitely use this as a pretext to kill him.

therefore.

Only when the team of seven is complete can they be together.

Not one can be missing.

...

On the fourth and fifth days of the forbidden area, Han Li was active in the deeper parts.

During this time, he did not encounter any more disciples of Huangfeng Valley.

It's really too dangerous to travel 30 to 50 miles within the inner ring road of the central area.

Even if you're not near the source of spiritual herbs or the lair of demonic beasts, you might still encounter level 2 or even level 3 demonic beasts comparable to those in the Foundation Establishment stage while walking on the road.

The outer 50 li (approximately 25 kilometers) is enough for more than a hundred people to explore.

Moreover, five short days are not even enough time for the disciples of Huangfeng Valley to explore even one-fifth of the area.

The fifth day, at Shen time (3-5 PM).

Han Li then left the forbidden area.

The most precious ten-thousand-year-old elixirs and some thousand-year-old elixirs are stored in a golden treasure chest.

Then put the golden treasure chest into the storage bag.

Then, use the silk handkerchief and fragments of the magic treasure to cover the storage bag.

This whole process, unsurprisingly, went unnoticed by Linghu Laoguai.

"Back at Yanling Fortress, I tested Elder Linghu once, and this time, as expected, nothing unexpected happened." Han Li was relieved.

After the sect's spirit-sniffing rats checked his other storage bags and found nothing unusual, they made him stand aside.

The medicinal herbs he took out, in terms of type, quantity, age, and potency, truly broadened the horizons of the entire audience, eliciting gasps of amazement.

"A seven-hundred-year-old Purple Monkey Flower? The Foundation Establishment Pill refined from this Purple Monkey Flower would probably have its medicinal power increased by fifty percent!"

"A Xuanjing Fruit nearly a thousand years old, a spiritual medicine that is highly beneficial even to Core Formation cultivators..."

"An 800-year-old agave herb, a rare and precious medicinal herb..."

"... "

The medicinal herbs he brought this time numbered over two hundred, with some over a hundred years old.

Among them are more than fifty exquisite trees that are five or six hundred years old.

More than ten rare specimens.

There are two types of medicinal herbs, totaling three plants, that are nearly a thousand years old.

The total value of the spiritual herbs he harvested alone exceeded 300,000 spirit stones on the market.

It should be noted that in the original timeline, the profits from eleven or twelve spiritual herbs would have been enough for Li Huayuan to swallow his pride and forcibly accept the original owner of this body as a disciple.

Moreover, the number he brought this time was even greater.

Higher quality.

"As expected of my Martial Uncle who is at the Foundation Establishment stage..."

"As expected of Junior Brother Han..."

She truly deserves to be the personal disciple of Yue Kingdom's number one Core Formation female cultivator.

"Master, my disciple is fortunate to have lived up to his command."

Han Li clasped his hands in a salute.

"good very good."

Hong Fu nodded with satisfaction.

What exactly is the forbidden area like, and how are the medicinal herbs distributed? No one outside knows.

Han Li relied on the Ink Dragon Six and the forbidden area map to avoid detours and delays, always managing to strike directly at the heart of the enemy's lair. This is why he was so efficient.

"You little rascal, not bad, not bad..."

Linghu Laozu was also generous with his praise.

Then, quite casually, he took half of the treasures and the two forbidden medicinal herbs that were nearly a thousand years old.
