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

Chapter 126 Arrangements, Core Formation, Decades of Hardship

"Within three years, I will definitely help you establish your foundation, and even provide you with pills suitable for the foundation establishment stage. Within a hundred years, I will give you another chance to break through to the core formation stage."

"In this situation, you don't need to possess much combat strength. You only need to act as my canaries, keeping to yourself as much as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble. Your path to immortality will focus on longevity, and you will also cultivate a dual cultivation method to facilitate dual cultivation with me."

To put it bluntly, it's about keeping a mistress in a gilded cage.

When we have nothing to do, we come over and do some naughty things together.

"This road is very easy."

“It’s very simple.”

Even though the breaths around him were fragrant, his eyes and heart remained completely undisturbed.

"Senior Han, what's the second option?"

Yuan Yao pursed her lips and asked softly.

Her brows furrowed slightly.

Yanli, on the other hand, had her eyes light up after hearing this option, clearly very tempted.

First, the promise of reaching Foundation Establishment within three years was a significant temptation for her. Add to that the opportunity to break through to Core Formation once every hundred years, and that was a very sincere promise. Although the price was being kept as a decorative figure by this senior's side, with few opportunities to go out in the future, what more could a mere Qi Refining cultivator possibly ask for? To receive such treatment was truly incredible luck.

Make a lot of money.

After all, if it weren't for this senior, she and her junior sister would be in all sorts of trouble by now.

Without the support of this senior, she had no idea whether she could successfully establish her foundation in a few years or even a decade.

Let alone hoping for a chance to break through to the Core Formation stage.

Of course.

She should just take the idea of ​​a chance to form her core with a grain of salt.

After all, the senior in front of him was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

What can help these sisters achieve their Core Formation?

The seniors care about them, have this sentiment, and know how to make them happy. That's enough.

Han Li immediately noticed the stubbornness in Yuan Yao's eyes. This girl was clearly unwilling to be just a pretty face.

Yanli, on the other hand, was not ambitious and only focused on the present, showing great self-awareness. At the same time, although she deeply doubted his ability to provide that opportunity to form her core, she did not refute him on the spot, and her eyes were always filled with gratitude towards him.

She's such a lively girl on the outside, but gentle and understanding on the inside.

"Senior, please tell me about the second option..."

The girl blinked her beautiful big eyes and spoke in dialect, which was very playful.

"Don't call me 'senior' anymore, call me 'husband' instead. If you're not used to calling me that for now, just call me 'young master' or... 'Brother Li'. It's up to you, call me whatever sounds right."

Han Li pulled closer and said gently.

"Husband?"

"Son."

Yuan Yao and Yan Li each called out their own names at the same time, which made Han Li show a rare, comfortable smile.

"Alright, let's talk about the second option. It's you guys. You'll get to know some of my secrets, grow up with me, and one day in the future, you'll even go with me to an extremely dangerous secret realm to train and help me obtain some fortuitous items."

At this point, Han Li paused in his actions, his expression turning serious.

Upon hearing this and seeing the situation, the two girls also became more serious.

Yuan Yao asked, sounding slightly nervous:
"Does this choice necessarily require training in a dangerous secret realm?"

"Yes."

"Then, how dangerous is that secret realm?"

"There were no fewer than nine Nascent Soul elders and more than two hundred Core Formation experts who entered the secret realm together. Foundation Establishment cultivators were not even considered cannon fodder."

The two women were stunned when Han Li said this.

Even breathing stopped for a moment.

"Nine, nine Nascent Soul elders? More than two hundred Core Formation experts?"

"What, are you scared?"

They were more than just frightened; they felt that the person who was hugging their waists must be crazy.

Han Li chuckled at this.

These two are clearly still out of touch with the world.

“If you choose the second path, I will plant some necessary restrictions within your bodies, then share cultivation techniques with you, impart cultivation insights, provide you with powerful magical artifacts, and enhance your combat skills, etc.”

"This path is difficult; it will take me to face many powerful immortals and encounter many dangers."

"But it also tempers one's character and helps one reach higher levels."

"... "

In short.

One requires no effort and focuses on ensuring stability in the rear.

The other one requires a lot of effort, mainly focusing on a joint effort.

Is it better to lie back and enjoy the fruits of success, or to work hard and start a business together?
"You two really need to think carefully about which one to choose..."

"Don't rush to give an answer now. Follow your own heart, think it through and then tell me. It's not too late to tell me after you've established your foundation."

Han Li once again feigned indifference, guiding the conversation with good intentions.

in fact.

By this point, he could forcefully dictate how the two beauties would grow up in the direction he desired.

They could even manage each other's lives.

However, that would inevitably be seen as forcing someone to do something they don't want to do, which would inevitably cause people to feel resistant, and it would also inevitably cause the two of them to develop an excessive dependence on her and become complacent.

He can be so pretentious sometimes! He wants it all…

...

Han Li then processed the permanent residency certificates for the two women.

One thousand six hundred spirit stones, and two identity rings.

Without even blinking.

Yuan Yaoyan saw it all, and though she said nothing, she said it all.

After that, Han Li went to the cave rental hall and spent 2,800 spirit stones to rent a new, vacant cave from the 40th floor of the Holy Mountain.

He wouldn't reveal his secrets—such as the Blood Jade Spider, the Gold-Eating Insect, the Ink Dragon, the Fiend Core clone, the Golden Treasure Chest, his array techniques, abundant cultivation resources, and spirit stones—until the two women had officially made their choices and he had placed restrictions on them.

Also.

The situation in Xinghai is becoming increasingly chaotic, and he cannot sever the connection with the White Water Sword Sect.

He used the Star Palace's connections to send a message to the White Water Sword Sect, informing them that he was safe and sound in Tianxing City.

To prevent the White Water Sword Sect from sending people to find him, they eventually found the cave dwelling area on the forty-eighth floor. To avoid any loopholes, he rented another cave dwelling in advance, and this time he didn't register it under the name of the Fiend Pill clone, but directly under his own name.

That's perfect.

If anyone from the White Water Sword Sect comes, he'll have a place to entertain them.

In short.

It's better to separate.

Once the two women have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they can occasionally visit the cave on the forty-eighth floor, holding one in each hand to relax, chatting with each other, and playing music to relieve boredom. That would be quite comfortable.

"Here are twelve Foundation Establishment Pills, six for each of you. Also, take a look at this Foundation Establishment guide to the Azure Origin Sword Technique and cultivate diligently."

After entering the hall, Han Li casually placed two pill bottles and two jade slips on the table.

While others in the Qi Refining stage would consume ordinary low-grade pills for cultivation, he directly used Foundation Establishment Pills like candy.

It's not that he doesn't want to save money.

Frankly, the worst pill I have in my storage bag right now is the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The Foundation Establishment Pill was already the lowest-grade pill he had.

Moreover, time is extremely precious to both women. The sooner they establish their foundation and form their core, the higher their cultivation level will be when they enter the Void Heaven Palace. This will give them more self-protection and increase their chances of successfully retrieving treasures from the inner palace.

"Twelve Foundation Establishment Pills?"

The two women were stunned.

Having been poor for the past twenty years, they had never seen such a luxurious way of cultivation.

Well, even though I've seen my partner's extravagant spending many times before, I'm still incredibly shocked right now.

"My husband, this..."

“I said I would help you establish your foundation within three years, and that was no empty promise.”

As Han Li spoke, he took out some other medicines to aid in foundation building:
"These elixirs can alleviate some of the pain you experience during Foundation Establishment. Also, this pill, when taken during Foundation Establishment, can prevent the medicine from being too strong and damaging your meridians."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao bit her lip so hard that it turned a snowy white.

Yanli's eyes were red.

Since they began practicing Taoism, when have these sisters ever received such warm care?

Other male cultivators only lusted after their bodies and their virginity. They only wanted to take advantage of them. Only this man in front of them had given them so much before taking anything from them, so much that they felt inferior.

What kind of luck did they have to achieve their current good fortune?
Seeing that the two women wanted to say something, Han Li immediately patted their heads gently with one hand each:
"You two should focus on your cultivation and stop nagging me. Reaching Foundation Establishment as soon as possible is the best response to my investment, proof of my foresight, and the greatest responsibility you can take to yourselves."

"Alright, now focus on your cultivation."

"This Azure Origin Sword Technique is very suitable for the two of you to establish your foundation."

Why choose the Azure Origin Sword Technique?

This is mainly for the future considerations of the two of them.

Now that she's become his woman, she can't be treated too badly.

Using the Azure Origin Sword Technique as a foundation will greatly enhance its potential.

Furthermore, both of them possess the aptitude of having three spiritual roots, specifically the wood element.

Wood-attribute spiritual root, suitable for Qingyuan Sword Technique.

With three spiritual roots and average aptitude, it's difficult to form a core normally. However, if one completes the first transformation, and then approaches the second transformation, which is close to a pseudo-spiritual root, the chances of successfully forming a core on the first try will increase by 20-30%.

of course.

If they want further cultivation techniques, it depends on what the two women choose after they reach Foundation Establishment.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, do you want to stay quietly in the back as a decorative figure, or do you want to stand alongside him with a longsword in hand and become a sword attendant with combat capabilities?
This technique was learned from Master Lu of the White Water Sword Sect.

...

After settling the two women in the forty-eighth level of the cave, Han Li went to another family in the northwest of Tianxing City that sold Zhan Ye Ni Chang Grass.

They spent a little more spirit stones to buy another batch of Rainbow Grass with ages of 100, 200, and 300 years.

The Rainbow Grass was used to induce the first batch of Gold-Eating Insects to devour each other and lay eggs.

After a year of seclusion, the number of gold-eating insects surged from a hundred or so to over a thousand.

He meticulously used the blood pact method to create a contract and apply restrictions to each insect egg and larva.

Yuan Yao and Yan Li also used three Foundation Establishment Pills to improve their cultivation, breaking through three levels in a row from the tenth level of Qi Refining to the thirteenth level. Then, they each used two more Foundation Establishment Pills to establish their foundations.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, the two women's perspectives changed.

His thoughts were no longer satisfied with the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

He had a strong desire to form his core.

This is also what Han Li needs.

Only then did the two understand his good intentions in offering the two options.

They immediately chose the second option: to become sword servants.

"Have you two thought this through? Becoming my sword attendants and gaining access to some of my secrets will subject you to restrictions and strict control."

Han Li reminded him again.

"Husband, we don't want to be just pretty faces." The two women looked solemn, their expressions firm, and their attitude resolute.

Upon hearing this, Han Li nodded and smiled with satisfaction.
"very good."

"Relax your mind..."

Immediately, he unceremoniously used his powerful divine sense to place restrictions on the two women. Then, for the first time in front of them, he summoned the Fiend Core clone from his spirit beast pouch.

The moment the Demon Core clone appeared, its powerful aura as a Core Formation cultivator caused the two women to tremble with fear: "A Core Formation cultivator?"

"No, no, this is... a clone?"

The more they learned, the more shocked the two women became.

My husband actually has a clone at the Core Formation stage?
"how is this possible?"

My husband's cultivation level is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. How did he manage to do that?
Wait, something's not right. Perhaps their husbands aren't just at the early Foundation Establishment stage. It's just that their eyes can only see the tip of the iceberg.

So, what kind of extraordinary identity and experiences does this man, who has possessed their bodies and souls countless times during this period, who has repeatedly conquered them one against two with the help of that giant spiritual root? (Several thousand words omitted here)

The two women were in turmoil.

At this moment, the sense of mystery surged once more, enveloping the man in front of her, making him impossible to see through.

"So my husband has such methods."

"It's just an external avatar, not worth mentioning. It's not like the Daoist sect's number one avatar technique, 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones,' nor is it the second Nascent Soul stage of the demonic path. A mere external avatar is far too inadequate; it's only good enough for the Core Formation stage..."

Han Li, without changing his expression, spoke shamelessly.

He could boast without batting an eye, leaving people stunned and giving the two women an even greater sense of mystery.

In their eyes, the cultivation level of the person embracing them was far more complex than what they could see with their naked eyes.

No wonder they put restrictions on them.

This is indeed a big secret.

The slight discomfort they felt a moment ago due to the placement of the restriction had vanished completely. They felt only relief.

I'm so glad I met such a low-key and mysterious benefactor.

As I said before: surely it's not like my husband would have gone all the way to Kuixing Island just for the two of them, right?

Leaving aside this "only correct answer," everything else is moving enough.

...

"Next, you two should also come into contact with the other two major methods."

Han Li then took out the first two layers of the Great Evolution Technique and the third-stage Heavy Yuan, and completed the Azure Origin Sword Technique to the tenth layer.

"A cultivation technique that leads directly to the Nascent Soul stage?"

Upon seeing the follow-up methods of the Qingyuan Sword Technique, the two women were overjoyed.

After reading the message that the Third Stage of Rebirth was extremely beneficial for Core Formation, he stood there stunned.

After receiving information that the Great Evolution Technique enhances spiritual awareness, also aids in Core Formation and combat, his breathing became rapid.

The fact that her husband could produce so many top-quality cultivation techniques meant that his background was definitely extraordinary.

"Take these pills that are suitable for Foundation Establishment stage cultivation as well."

The appearance of several elixir bottles is astonishing in its scale.

Yuan Yaoyanli was almost numb.

With so many cultivation resources at their disposal, their men are definitely not just ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

correct.

Threefold Rebirth!

"You can take these top-tier magical artifacts and practice your skills with them..."

Han Li took out several more items.

These items were either obtained from the Six-Linked Palace or were things he himself was about to no longer need, such as the Silver Glow Sword and the Steel Bracelet. In short, he gave them all to the two women.

"My cultivation insights are all in this jade slip. Reading it will save you from many detours..."

It contains the entire cultivation process from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the False Core Stage, and even the experiences of the first and second stages of cultivation.

"If you encounter any confusion in your spiritual practice, try to summarize it yourself first. I will answer your questions one by one each time I come here."

"This this…"

Yanli's hands trembled slightly as she received the jade slip.

So, my husband, at such a young age, has already completed the third stage of transformation and is heading straight for the Core Formation stage?

The cultivation level they saw was at the third stage of cultivation?

hiss…

"Alright, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Han Li smiled faintly and said something.

The two women shook their heads.

"Hmm, the weather is beautiful today, perfect for going out for a stroll. Come with me to enjoy the nearby scenery; staying in seclusion might not be so good..."

Just consider it a balance between work and rest.

...

Thereafter.

More than forty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past forty years, Han Li not only mastered the third level of the Great Evolution Technique, but also perfectly completed the third transformation, and even reached the fourth transformation! However, the effect of the fourth transformation was not as obvious as the first three transformations!
In the fourth job advancement, the improvement in the quality of mana becomes increasingly limited.

It's like reaching a bottleneck.

The same applies to the maximum mana limit.

It's as if this body can no longer squeeze out even a tiny bit more space to accommodate more magical power and true essence.

He completed the fourth transformation in less than ten years.

The quality of the magic power has increased by more than 10%.

The maximum mana has increased by about 10%.

And this, perhaps, is the limit of the secret technique of Three Revolutions of Renewal.

This is also the limit of the human body during the foundation-building stage.

Furthermore, besides his extraordinary cultivation at the Third Stage of the Primordial Realm, he also retrieved a portion of the divine consciousness from his Fiend Core clone. That's right, he returned half of the Fiend Core clone's divine consciousness to his main body, causing a significant surge in the divine consciousness of his main body.

A more solid foundation of magical power and true essence.

A more powerful spiritual aid.

In addition, there are various superior conditions for Core Formation...

"I've prepared for this for so long to achieve the Core Formation..."

"He's already 105 years old; it's time for him to officially form his core!"

it's time.

next moment.

Centered on his cave dwelling on the 40th floor, the sky suddenly changed, and a thundercloud covering a hundred miles in size quickly formed, creating a huge funnel of spiritual energy in mid-air.

A massive amount of primordial energy from heaven and earth converged wildly on this place.

Some cultivators who were meditating and cultivating in nearby caves were alerted:
"What's going on? Why has the spiritual energy of heaven and earth become so restless?"

"Huh? That's strange. Why has so much spiritual energy been drawn away from my cave?"

"What is that..."

Even in Tianxing City, thousands of miles away, people noticed this place, this corner on the 40th floor of the Holy Mountain.

"That's a celestial phenomenon indicating the formation of the Core Formation stage. Someone is attempting to break through to the Core Formation stage!"

Countless eyes converged on it.

"A cultivator is forming their core? Quick, let's go pay our respects; maybe we can become his disciples..."

"The Chaotic Star Sea is about to gain another fellow cultivator of the same level..."

"Tsk tsk, what a grand spectacle! This is not something an ordinary Core Formation cultivator could cause."

"Wait a minute, isn't that Junior Brother Han's cave dwelling?"

Lu Changfeng of the White Water Sword Sect, who had also come to Tianxing City to cultivate more than 30 years ago, almost stared wide-eyed.

After rubbing my eyes to make sure I wasn't seeing things, I was even more shocked:

"I remember, my junior brother only has a pseudo-spiritual root, right?"

Even if one has a special constitution...

"Never mind, we need to inform my father and the sect immediately..."

Their White Water Sword Sect has gained another Core Formation expert.

"Senior sister, that's my husband's cave!"

Dressed in a fiery red robe, the incredibly alluring Yuan Yao pointed brightly at the cave dwelling on the fortieth floor.

Over the past forty years, she used a large number of high-quality pills and a small number of rare pills made from high-level demon cores from the Chaotic Star Sea to reach the Pseudo-Core stage, which took her more than ten years. After that, she dissipated her cultivation.

With the help of the treasure chest, he spent more than 20 years completing the first transformation and mastering the first level of the Great Evolution Technique.

It seems that in another ten years or so, I will be able to return to the Pseudo-Core stage. At that time, I will only need to complete the second level of the Great Evolution Technique to attempt Core Formation.

"Yes, I saw it. My husband has finally decided to form his core." Yanli, whose cultivation level was almost in sync with Yuan Yao's, nodded excitedly.

"... "

Amidst the murmurs of discussion from the outside world, a massive pillar of light, predominantly green and centered around the secluded cave, shot into the sky.

The beam of light was wrapped with three other colors: red, blue, and yellow.

However, the spiritual power of these three colors accounts for a very small percentage.

Very inconspicuous.

After the beam of light entered the spiritual energy funnel, it swept back down, carrying with it a massive mass of spiritual energy.

The vast majority of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth seeped into the formation, into the cave, and into Han Li, who was sitting cross-legged inside. A very small portion scattered around, greatly nourishing the nearby vegetation, causing it to grow visibly and wildly…

"Only the final step of condensing the core remains."

"He's going to succeed."

Some outsiders expressed their envy.

They wished they could replace someone who was about to achieve success.

Inside the cave.

Han Li opened several treasure chests, causing the pure spiritual energy accumulated within them to gush out:

Part of it was released from the dozen or so level-six demon cores purchased over the years! Another part was released from the golden cores of the Core Formation cultivators of that time! Yet another part was collected from the underground cave where the Nascent Soul level flying demon cultivators were buried and has been sealed ever since! Finally, and most importantly, it was the pure spiritual energy remaining when the spiritual spring's eye released its spiritual energy back then!
This spiritual energy, along with the vortex of spiritual energy, flowed into his meridians and dantian, surrounding the newly formed golden core.

Outside the Golden Core, there seemed to be a halo around it.

Among them, the pure spiritual energy of the Spirit Eye Spring, like a spring breeze, gently cleansed the golden core within the body.

The elixir is formed, and the process is complete.

Furthermore, although he appeared to be only at the initial stage of Core Formation, the absorption of so much high-quality spiritual energy to condense his core made his actual cultivation level comparable to those Core Formation cultivators who had spent ten or twenty years cultivating in the early stages.

This is the benefit of having a rich cultural heritage.

This is equivalent to saving more than ten years of arduous cultivation for the subsequent Core Formation stage.

"Aha…"

A hearty shout echoed from the cave.

The funnel of spiritual energy from the outside world exploded in response.

The lingering spiritual energy that had gathered and not yet dissipated transformed into a shower of light, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

"Finally, I've formed my core."

　Guys, my grandma fell down the stairs last night and is now in the intensive care unit.

　　My updates will probably be less frequent these next few days; I'll have to check back every day. I'm so sorry, really sorry.

　　My mom and uncle didn't tell me about this last night; they only told me at noon.

　　I'm sorry, but I really need to reduce the number of updates recently.

　　I didn't actually want to publish this chapter, but I didn't have any drafts saved up.

　　Sorry sorry.

　　That's all I'll say.
