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

Chapter 110 Take care, don't worry about me anymore.
Han Li remained outwardly calm but inwardly chuckled at the sight.

This scene made Master Hongfu frown slightly. Although she didn't say anything, she felt quite uncomfortable inside.

This scene instantly turned Dong Xuan'er's originally enthusiastic heart into one filled with sorrow, frustration, coldness, and anger.

She knew very well that if Ancestor Linghu hadn't been here, then half of the precious medicinal herbs and the two nearly thousand-year-old herbs that had been taken would have been hers. Her great-aunt no longer needed them, so naturally she would have secured them for her. These would be for her use when she formed her Core Formation, and even after that.

But Linghu Laozu…

"This ancestor himself certainly wouldn't need it, so it's probably mostly for the benefit of his own clan members?"

The girl gently bit her lip with her pearly teeth.

This scene made Huang Nie and Linghu Huiming extremely envious.

Those spiritual herbs were enough to refine several batches of Enhancing Essence Pills to help cultivators like them, who were in the mid-stage of Core Formation, improve their magical power.

With the help of several batches of Enhancing Vitality Pills, at least decades of arduous cultivation can be saved.

Next, reaching the late stage of Core Formation will happen within three to five years.

"I'll definitely have to ask the ancestor for some later..."

Huiming Secret Passage.

Originally, with Hong Fu here, obtaining these precious medicinal herbs would have been a very difficult task for him.

Big fish can eat small fish.

With Uncle Linghu right in front of her, Hong Fu could only watch helplessly as half of the spiritual herbs were taken at will by the Nascent Soul Ancestor.

Unfortunately, my great-uncle was too concerned about saving face. If it were him, he would have taken all the precious medicinal herbs and the finest quality ones to cultivate the clan's younger generation.

...

After that, more and more disciples of Huangfeng Valley appeared.

A small team of six people brought out more than 140 medicinal herbs, including many fine ones and three rare ones.

"So many medicinal herbs."

"As expected of the Linghu family's elite team."

"... "

The praises from the Foundation Establishment stage managers gradually rose around them, causing the six people who had just left the forbidden area to unconsciously raise their chests.

"Ancestor, Haolong has lived up to expectations."

A direct descendant of the Linghu family, accompanied by five collateral descendants, approached the Linghu Patriarch and bowed.

"Hmm, you obtained ninety-six medicinal herbs all by yourself, that's quite good."

Linghu Laoguai nodded slightly.

If they had appeared with so many spiritual herbs before Han Li, he might have really looked at his clansmen differently.

Unfortunately, there are already excellent examples ahead.

Han Li single-handedly brought out more than two hundred spiritual herbs.

Linghu Haolong was able to bring out ninety-six plants with the help of his team.

Moreover, both in terms of quantity and quality, they are far inferior overall.

What's there to be proud of?
However, such neglect was especially painful for Linghu Haolong.

After all, their team originally had an average of twenty-odd herbs per person, and he hadn't particularly distinguished himself among them. However, because the team was built around him, and it was his father's support—providing them with talismans, top-tier magic artifacts, and mid-level talismans—that allowed the team to venture deep into the forbidden area and reap a considerable harvest. Therefore, the other five members each received only ten spiritual herbs, enough to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill. The remaining ninety-odd herbs were all obtained by him, the core member of the team.

The more than ninety medicinal herbs are equivalent to the total gains from three or four previous explorations of the forbidden area more than ten or twenty years ago.

He achieved such remarkable results on his own, so why shouldn't he be favored by the ancestor?
With this displeasure, he retreated behind the Foundation Establishment Steward.

Soon, they learned about Han Li's situation from a clan uncle.

I was immediately awestruck:

"how is this possible?"

How can the gap be so big?

On their side, each person had a talisman, two top-tier level 1 spirit beasts, then pairs of exquisite top-tier magic weapons, and then ten mid-level talismans…

Even so, in order to obtain a large number of spiritual herbs, four of the five talismans were used up, and the remaining one was almost exhausted. Many of the top-tier magic artifacts were also damaged, and even four level 1 top-tier spirit beasts were killed in battle.

Such achievements were made only after such a great sacrifice.

In the end, they were no match for someone who went it alone?
"This martial uncle is incredibly strong!"

"Yes, this Uncle Han is really amazing."

"No wonder he's become a legendary figure that many people talk about..."

For the first time, the members of the Linghu family looked at Han Li with newfound respect.

Only after personally experiencing the hardships of gathering herbs did everyone understand the true value of bringing out more than two hundred medicinal herbs.

...

Not long after.

Another team appeared.

This time, it was the Chen family's team that appeared.

A team of eleven.

More than 180 medicinal herbs were brought out.

"There are actually 188 plants?"

"Many are exquisite medicinal herbs, five or six hundred years old..."

"There are also many rare and precious items..."

Several Foundation Establishment stage managers clicked their tongues in disapproval.

The more you look, the more surprised you become.

"There is a nearly thousand-year-old Cold Essence Grass..."

The Cold Essence Grass is extremely precious and has long been extinct in the outside world.

The nearly thousand-year-old *Han Yuan Cao* (寒元草) is even rarer.

The advantage of having a large number of people is evident at this moment:
A larger group means a greater chance of success in the sweep and a higher margin for error in responding to crises. Furthermore, it allows for more leisurely exploration into less-visited, high-risk areas, enabling the acquisition of rare medicinal herbs and other benefits that others have never picked or taken away.

obviously.

The Chen family's team then ventured deep into the forbidden area's central region.

They explored many dangerous areas that had never been explored before.

Otherwise, such a great harvest would not have been possible.

Of course, it's not without its downsides.

For example, the efficiency of looting is relatively low.

Because the quantity of spiritual herbs in the herb-producing areas is limited. If six or seven people can deal with the guardian beasts of the forbidden area, then eleven or twelve people can certainly deal with them as well. Moreover, after more than ten people have wiped out the beast or its small group, the amount of spiritual herbs obtained will not increase with the increase in the number of people.

In other words, a team of eleven or twelve people may not necessarily earn as much as a small team of five or six people combined.

"A bumper harvest, a bumper harvest..."

"I never imagined that such a rare treasure could be brought out..."

"Won't the elders' cultivation levels improve significantly soon?"

"With this profit, my Yellow Maple Valley will surely be able to surpass the other six sects in a few hundred years and become the number one sect in the Yue Kingdom."

The three harvests yielded more than 500 medicinal herbs.

This is simply unheard of and unprecedented.

In the past, the total profit of the seven major immortal sects of Yue Kingdom during each Blood Trial was only two or three hundred spiritual herbs. Only when the Moon Sun Pearl was first made could the Hidden Moon Sect alone take out three or four hundred spiritual herbs, thus laying the foundation for "the number one sect in Yue Kingdom".

However, this time, Huangfeng Valley's three teams achieved an outstanding result by using the Moonlit Pearl to cheat, a feat achieved by the Hidden Moon Sect.

Follow up.

There will definitely be other teams that bring in satisfactory amounts of spiritual herbs. It's not surprising.

After twenty teams emerged one after another.

The total yield of medicinal herbs in Huangfeng Valley this time was quite substantial, reaching an astonishing two thousand plants.

The three main ingredients for Foundation Establishment Pills—mature Purple Monkey Flower, Jade Marrow Fungus, and Heavenly Spirit Fruit—can be combined with the thirty-one auxiliary ingredients cultivated by the sect itself, enough to refine tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment Pills.

It should be noted that in the past, Huangfeng Valley only distributed a little over two hundred Foundation Establishment Pills every ten years.

If all the profits from the main ingredient of the Foundation Building Pill can be converted into finished Foundation Building Pills.

The number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sect will definitely see an explosive increase in the future.

Moreover, it's not just the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators that will surge.

The number of cultivators who have reached the Core Formation stage will also increase significantly in the next hundred years due to the availability of a large number of high-quality and rare spiritual medicines.

Even those in the mid-to-late stages of Core Formation will not be as rare as before.

Huangfeng Valley now has the foundation to once again have three or four Nascent Soul stage monsters online simultaneously.

This is the potential value of the Bloodstained Forbidden Land, a source of spiritual herbs.

...

Upon returning to his sect, Han Li immediately exchanged his merit points for mid-grade spirit stones.

The 1,300-plus mid-grade spirit stones taken to the Chaotic Star Sea are enough to be worth 700,000 to 800,000 spirit stones in the Southern Lands.

At the same time, he obtained the Nascent Soul Formation experience summarized by Linghu Laozu and other Nascent Soul cultivators of Huangfeng Valley, and also retrieved the Golden-backed Demon Mantis that had lost its blade arm, as well as the Blood Jade Spider that had been tamed and was relatively obedient.

Dong Xuan'er still had some doubts about this:
"Junior brother, why are you taking them away?"

The Blood Jade Spider and the Golden-backed Mantis haven't been fully tamed yet, and they're not very obedient.

"Senior sister, aren't the reinforcements from Yuanwu Kingdom and Zijin Kingdom almost at Jingu Plain? It seems the final battle is approaching. And these two demonic beasts are, after all, level 4. On the battlefield, they might be of some help to me."

Han Li was talking nonsense with a straight face.

Dong Xuan'er and the other girls actually believed it:

"alright."

Another three days.

After Dong Xuan'er retrieved the other two giant tiger puppets from the Dong family elder, Han Li decided not to linger and planned to quickly leave Red Tassel Mountain and return to his own cave. So, half-jokingly, he said:
"By the way, Senior Sister, in a month, why don't you and Senior Sisters Xiuting and Xiulan come to my cave to find me? I've prepared a little surprise for the three of you..."

This may seem like just a joke, but there's more to it than meets the eye.

This is not.

After returning to his original Lingquan Cave and secluded himself for half a month, he immediately deactivated the Reversed Five Elements Formation and then quickly left Taiyue Mountain via the underground secret passage that stretched for a hundred miles.

They traveled to Xizhou, a barren land in the Yue Kingdom.

Then, they turned to the border between Yuanwu Kingdom and Yue Kingdom, and while the seven factions of Yue Kingdom and the six sects of the demonic path were confronting each other at Jingu Plain, they sneaked back to the location of the mine teleportation array by day and night.

"First, restore your cultivation level."

He is currently only at the Qi Refining stage.

The Chaotic Star Sea is teeming with all sorts of demonic beasts, and even the Inner Star Sea is not without its share of high-level ones. During the journey, one may encounter troublesome demonic beasts, or even malevolent cultivators lurking in the shadows.

It is essential to restore one's cultivation level to the Foundation Establishment stage first.

A Foundation Building Pill was placed in the lower abdomen.

He began to seclude himself to refine the medicinal power.

at the same time.

Dong Xuan'er, along with Xiu Ting and Xiu Lan, accepted the invitation and arrived at the cave dwelling located on the northwestern edge of Taiyue Mountain half a month later.

"Huh? Where's Junior Brother's grand formation?"

Dong Xuan'er was slightly surprised that she did not see the Reversed Five Elements Formation.

She took out the communication talisman to send a message, but received no reply for a long time, and immediately felt something was wrong.

Just as she was about to do something, an iron-armed beast emerged from the ground and came into the three women's view:
"It's my junior brother's spirit beast."

"Is the Iron-Armed Beast carrying a small flag?"

"Isn't that the main array flag of Junior Brother's cave dwelling?"

The three women obtained the main battle flag and used it to open the cave.

Upon entering, the first thing you see are four storage bags on the table, each labeled with its purpose.

The four storage bags were for the three women and Master Hongfu, respectively.

Dong Xuan'er took the one that Master Hongfu had given her and examined it. Her eyes widened immediately.

Xiulan and Xiuting's mouths were slightly open, and their beautiful eyes widened:

"This this…"

There was no other reason than that each of the two women's storage bags contained thirty rare and precious forbidden-land medicinal herbs.

It can be used to refine high-quality pills suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Such a generous gift deeply moved the two women:

"Junior Brother Han, that's really nice."

"Mmm, that's nice..."

Inside Dong Xuan'er's storage bag was a jade slip, a hundred high-quality spiritual herbs, and the first nine levels of the Qingyuan Sword Technique and the third level of the Chongyuan Realm! The jade slip revealed Dong Xuan'er's background and some connections with the Yunlu Old Demon of the Hehuan Sect! It also highlighted information related to her physique.

Dong Xuan'er was informed of the special nature of her constitution!
He is not a good-for-nothing at all, but a genius.

It's just that the physical characteristics haven't been activated yet.

The gifted storage bag also contained six iceberg snow lotuses and other cold-attribute spiritual herbs, along with information about Xin Ruyin's Dragon Roar Physique and her talent in array formations. What Dong Xuan'er does next is her own choice.

He specifically instructed Dong Xuan'er not to pass on the special technique of dispersing internal energy, the Three Revolutions Rejuvenation Technique, to others.

Seeing all this information, Dong Xuan'er's eyes lit up with admiration.

"Senior sister, take care. Don't worry about me after you leave..."

The last sentence of the jade slip made the girl's eyes turn red after reading its contents:

"Junior brother..."

Why did they leave without a word?
Is your master treating you badly?

Have I treated you badly?

Finally, there was Master Hongfu's storage bag, which contained two jade slips and a bottle.

The jade slip contained two messages.

Firstly, it reveals that Spirit Beast Mountain is a spy for the Seven Sects, and has now returned to the embrace of the third largest sect of the Demonic Path, the Spirit Control Sect, and may betray the other six sects at any time. This implies that if Patriarch Linghu is angered, he can choose an opportunity to leave Yellow Maple Valley.

Secondly, it describes the general situation of the Xi Kingdom in the north of the sky, and tells some information about the three sects of Yunmeng. It also mentions the wonders of the "Spirit Stabilizing Pill" in helping to form a Nascent Soul.

In his words, he often guided and advised Master Hongfu to go to Luoyun Sect in Yunmeng Mountain to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Master Hongfu may know about the effects of the Spirit-Stabilizing Pill, but Dong Xuan'er may not. Informing Dong Xuan'er of its existence also implies that she should give Dong Xuan'er a push.

As for the bottle, it contained a weakened primordial spirit!

It was the primordial spirit of the cultivator from the Spirit Control Sect!

"How could this be? The Spirit Beast Mountain is actually a spy? What about the front lines..."

The three women turned pale upon seeing the message.

Where would they dare linger?

They all used the fastest escape techniques to return to Red Tassel Mountain.

I just hope this news arrives in time.
