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

Chapter 168 If Han Li can do it, why can't I?

Is it too late to catch up now?

If we calculate the time, it's definitely too late.

That kid even calculated the time difference.

Last time was.

This time it's even more so.

"Senior brothers, would you like some of these to share?"

Hong Fu took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and looked at Cheng Tiankun and Lü Luo.

The storage bag was handed directly and generously to the two of them.

“Junior sister, since these spiritual herbs were given to you, our master, by Junior Nephew Han, how can we take what belongs to someone else?”

Cheng Tiankun decisively refused:
"Moreover, these are all fire-attribute spiritual herbs, which are not suitable for me and Junior Brother Lü. They will be more effective when used on Junior Sister."

"Moreover, Junior Sister is more skilled in combat than I and Junior Brother Lü, and what our Luoyun Sect has always lacked is a Nascent Soul expert who is good at fighting. From now on, I will be in charge of internal affairs, and will be responsible for logistics and alchemy. Junior Brother Lü and Junior Sister will be in charge of external affairs. Among them, Junior Brother is quite good at socializing and has made many friends in the Nascent Soul stage. As for Junior Sister, you should focus on improving your cultivation and strength. When your cultivation advances further, our Luoyun Sect may be able to talk to people with our fists."

"Yes, Junior Sister Hongfu, the best is the one that suits us best. If we divide the work clearly, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Cheng Tiankun and Lü Luo's attitude warmed Hong Fu's heart once again.

He also gained increasing recognition of the Luoyun Sect.

This further fueled their desire to recruit Han Li into their sect.

She didn't know what her disciple had experienced or how many extraordinary adventures she had encountered. All she knew was that, as expected, she was the one being taken care of.

The disciple takes care of the master?

In the history of cultivation, this seems to be the only case like this.
It is truly shameful.

It makes people feel complicated.

...

Cheng Tiankun and Lü Luo exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with inscrutable expressions.

"Junior brother, what do you think?"

"The disciple that Junior Sister Hongfu has taken in is truly repaying a small kindness with a great one. Such loyal and righteous cultivators are rare in the cultivation world these days; she deserves to join our Luoyun Sect. Senior Brother, next time you absolutely must let Song girl give it a try. Being close to the water tower... gives you a head start!"

"No, no rush. We need to ask Song first. We can't just set things up haphazardly, lest it backfire."

"Yes, yes, yes."

...

A secret underground chamber.

Having refined over a dozen portions of Mingqing Spirit Water, Han Li began using the spiritual water to cleanse his eyes.

He still had some refining materials in his possession.

You can cleanse your eyes every few days or every ten days or so in the future.

"The effect is really weak."

For over a month, he refined it several times.

The effects were minimal.

"The Ming and Qing dynasty spiritual eye cannot be created overnight; it requires several years of refinement."

...

In the Yue Kingdom, at the location of the ancient teleportation array, Han Li retrieved the Great Teleportation Token.

"Teleport."

The array's spiritual light began to surge.

His figure gradually disappeared in the dazzling light.

When they reappeared, they were already in a chaotic sea of ​​stars, countless miles away.

He did not linger on Kuixing Island, but instead traveled through the Gangfeng Layer, taking more than half a month to return directly to Tianxing City.

Interestingly, as he flew through the Gale Layer, he saw the sacred mountain of Tianxing City.

The sacred mountain of the Star Palace has a section that pierces through the continuous clouds and plunges into the bottom of the Nine Heavens Gale Layer, hundreds of thousands of feet above.

"As expected of the highest peak in the Chaotic Star Sea."

It could even be said to be the pinnacle of the top ten in the human realm.

Back to Tianxing City.

He then rented a century-old cave dwelling on the 45th floor and renovated it to renew the lease for another century for two other cave dwellings.

Upon entering the new cave, he opened the spirit beast pouch and released Gan Rushuang, who had been imprisoned in the golden treasure chest, while also removing the restrictions on her.

After regaining consciousness and mobility, the woman forced herself to remain calm and asked in a low voice:

"Where is this?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li took a sip of spiritual tea and spoke calmly:
"At the other end of the ancient teleportation array lies a vast sea called the Chaotic Star Sea."

"The Chaotic Star Sea? The other side of that teleportation array?"

Gan Rushuang's beautiful eyes flickered, and she showed a hint of surprise.

Han Li did not respond to the woman again, but instead threw out a Spirit Stabilizing Pill and a Divine Forbidden Token.

"You...this is?"

"I don't like to mistreat my own people, and I certainly won't mistreat my woman," Han Li said calmly. "Try forming your Nascent Soul first. If you can, you can help me out. If you can't even get past that hurdle..."

Han Li stopped there, leaving the rest of his sentence unsaid.

Across from her, Gan Rushuang raised an eyebrow:

"Aren't you afraid that after I reach Nascent Soul stage, I'll break free from your control and leave you?"

"When the time comes, it's up to you."

Throughout the journey, he did not allow the woman to breathe any fresh air from the outside world. In addition, the isolation effect of the golden treasure chest and his sealing effect on Gan Rushuang's spiritual sense made it impossible for her to know the exact location of the ancient teleportation array.

Having arrived in this Chaotic Star Sea, if one wants to return to Tiannan, forming a Nascent Soul is only the first step. One must be at least in the mid-stage or even late-stage of the Nascent Soul realm to withstand the various dangers at sea. One must first cross several vast seas to reach the Great Jin Dynasty, and then turn towards Tiannan.

In other words.

The secret of the ancient teleportation array is still in his hands.

Gan Rushuang's life or death, and her freedom, are no longer of any concern.

"Furthermore, when did I ever try to control you?"

Han Li shrugged.

Why keep someone who has no value around?

Besides, he didn't know this woman well.

What significance or cost-effectiveness does it hold for him?
If you are not of one mind with him, keeping him by your side will not only be of no help, but will also be a huge hidden danger.

He should go and enjoy his wonderful life with Yuan Yao and Yanli.

"Oh, right, this is the cave's protective token; I rented it to you for a hundred years. And this is your identity ring from Tianxing City; it binds to you with your own blood. As for these jade slips, they're written in the language of the Chaotic Star Sea; you'd better learn how to use them..."

After leaving some things behind, Han Li turned and left.

After leaving, he changed his appearance and reverted to Lu Chengfeng's original handsome face.

As for the restrictions within this woman's body?
He only addressed the obvious issues, leaving some hidden ones as backup plans.

If Gan Rushuang were to conspire with outsiders to harm him, she would be courting death, and he could take her life with a single thought.

Moreover, this extremely subtle move was so well concealed that even those with less than a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would not be able to detect it, given his advanced cultivation level and ability to conceal his divine sense.

Even if it's discovered, it can't be cracked.

Unless one becomes a great cultivator who surpasses him in both cultivation and spiritual awareness.

One should not always harbor thoughts of harming others, but one should never let one's guard against them.

...

Inside the cave.

Gan Rushuang stood there, her face alternating between pale and green, the colors shifting unpredictably.

"You actually think I'm just a burden?"

"You think that having me around will only allow me to take advantage of you and steal your cultivation resources?"

Is Gan Rushuang that kind of person?

She really wanted to return the Spirit Stabilizing Pill to Han Li.

But after careful consideration, she held back. "Once I condense my Nascent Soul, I will definitely repay all the favors you have done for me."

In the following period, Gan Rushuang entered a closed-door cultivation mode, using the efficient absorption speed of the Core Formation stage to gain a more detailed understanding of the human geography of the Chaotic Star Sea.

The more I understand, the happier I become.

His eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

"Inner Star Sea..."

"An alien sea..."

Are there a large number of high-level monsters here?

"Wait a minute, here, a Foundation Establishment Pill only costs two or three hundred spirit stones? A level five demon beast inner core, even one with a special bloodline, only sells for around three thousand spirit stones? A level six demon core with a special bloodline only costs a maximum of twenty thousand spirit stones?"

A level 7 one only sells for tens of thousands?

"The purchasing power of spirit stones in this sea area is actually so high?!"

When she glanced at the more than three thousand mid-grade spirit stones and tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones in her storage bag, her breathing quickened.

Originally, she had accumulated over 400,000 spirit stones during her more than 100 years in the Northern Liang Kingdom as a preparation for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

In Tiannan, this preparation is undoubtedly far from sufficient.

In this chaotic star sea, over 400,000 spirit stones have the purchasing power of over 2 million spirit stones in Tiannan.

The key is that there are places to spend the spirit stones.

You can buy a level 7 demon core.

All kinds of elixirs are very cheap here.

These are all opportunities!

"Moreover, the spiritual veins of Tianxing City's sacred mountain are of much higher quality than those of Linglong Mountain in the Hidden Moon Sect."

This is yet another significant contribution to the process of achieving infant formation.

"No wonder the little guy surnamed Han was able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage."

"No wonder..."

Holding the numerous jade slips, Gan Rushuang spoke with renewed vigor.

Finally, her gaze pierced through the array's restrictions and through the layers of clouds, landing on the boundless sea below:
"If Han Li can do it, why can't I?"

...

Return to the cave on the forty-eighth floor.

Han Li displayed his divine power in front of Yuan Yao and Yan Li, demonstrating his late-stage Core Formation cultivation.

Upon seeing that it was Han Li and noticing his current cultivation level, the two were initially stunned, then overjoyed.
"Husband, you've recovered your cultivation? And you've even reached the late stage of Core Formation?"

Before they parted ways, Han Li pretended to be seriously injured and his cultivation had dropped. The two women stayed by his side and prepared to do everything they could to help him recover his cultivation.

Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, her husband's injuries had not only fully recovered, but his cultivation level had also improved considerably.

"You two are quite good. One is at the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation, and the other is not far behind in the mid-stage Core Formation."

Han Li could tell at a glance what their cultivation levels were like.

It's important to understand that both of them have completed the second stage of the Third Stage of the Core Formation, meaning their magical power depth and purity surpass those of other cultivators at the same level. Furthermore, having cultivated the first two levels of the Great Evolution Technique, their spiritual sense is also quite strong. Therefore, they cannot be viewed from the perspective of ordinary Core Formation cultivators.

"Husband..."

The three embraced.

A lot of clouds and rain.

After several more rounds of hard work.

Han Li had shaken off his previous fatigue.

After that, looking at the various healing elixirs that the two women had accumulated over the years through various means, Han Li was deeply moved.

The miraculous healing medicine of Night Dragon Island…

The Six-Tier Palace's precious healing medicine...

The Four Seas Merchant Alliance's healing elixir...

Among these elixirs, some treat the meridians, some the dantian (lower abdomen), and some the internal organs…

They spent countless spirit stones to buy all sorts of miraculous elixirs and medicines.

"Two spendthrift sons."

But then I think about how I'll become even more extravagant.

Then I thought about how all these healing medicines were purchased for him.

Yes, he immediately felt relieved, and a warm, pleasant feeling welled up inside him.

"Indeed, it's best to take care of yourself."

Moreover, if the two hadn't been traveling around and wasting their cultivation time, their cultivation levels might have been even higher.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Two people sat on Han Li's laps, one on each side.

The two women didn't say much, but simply hugged each other tighter in silence.

In the time that followed, Han Li gifted the two women some things.

First, there is a cauldron and a bottle covered with antique patterns.

"The Three Bronze Cauldrons are the natal magic treasures of Nascent Soul cultivators. They are made by combining three rare magic treasure materials—primordial bronze, brass, and purple bronze—with a large amount of refined copper. Due to improper maintenance in the past, their spiritual essence was severely lost, and their power was less than one-tenth or one-twelfth of their peak strength. After my years of nurturing, their spiritual essence has recovered considerably. Although they still cannot compare to the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator nurtured by Infant Fire for hundreds of years, these Three Bronze Cauldrons can now unleash power close to that of an early Nascent Soul cultivator's attack."

"If you two can advance further and reach the late stage of Core Formation, you will be able to unleash seventy percent of the power of this cauldron."

"I dare not say that I can directly confront a Nascent Soul stage expert, but I am definitely capable of fighting against most late-stage Core Formation or even Pseudo-Nascent Soul stage experts, and may even win."

This cauldron was nurtured on Biling Island for decades by its original body and its avatar.

After being tempered by the infant fire of the Wind Soul Body for more than ten years, its spirituality has recovered considerably.

Furthermore, he added some copper essence from the five magical metals, which further enhanced the spiritual power of this treasure.

That's enough for Yuan Yao or Yan Li to use until the early Nascent Soul stage.

"The Glazed Treasure Bottle is also a magic weapon of Nascent Soul cultivators. It contains two kinds of true water, both of which are extremely corrosive."

"It is very damaging to both metal and flesh."

He conducted experiments and discovered a substance similar to a superacid.

Another type of superalkali.

"The vase itself, besides serving as a container for two kinds of true water, can also collect all other kinds of fluids as small as a mustard seed containing Mount Sumeru."

"You two should use this with caution."

He didn't really nurture the Aquarius, but the two kinds of true water, his external avatar, have been purified again over the years.

"The Water and Fire Gourd is a magic weapon for those in the Core Formation stage. It can release water and fire to attack enemies, and it can also release lightning balls to injure enemies."

If it's only this level, it's naturally not enough for the two women to use as their trump card.

However, if he were to later fill the water-fire gourd with the Azure Fire Thunder of the Three Yang Old Demons of the Azure Yang Sect, then the nature of the situation would be different.

The power of a few Azure Fire Lightning Bolts could withstand a casual strike from a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. A larger number of them could truly overwhelm a Nascent Soul cultivator.

then.

After killing the young master of Qingyang Sect and obtaining his storage bag, he acquired over a hundred Azure Fire Thunderbolts.

He didn't put any Azure Fire Thunder into the Water-Fire Gourd for the time being, to avoid any unforeseen complications. He would give some to Yuan Yao and Yanli for self-protection once the Void Heaven Palace opened.

"And this ancient gold brick, with its powerful and expansive design, is of decent strength."

With a single brick, a mountain peak hundreds of feet high can be leveled.

of course.

This ancient gold brick is not moving very fast.

In other words, it excels in blunt force.

"You sisters should divide these four magical treasures among yourselves."

After the two women finished assigning tasks, Han Li told them about his plan to storm the Void Heaven Palace.

"Could it be a mysterious secret realm that opens only once every three hundred years in the Chaotic Star Sea?"

Yanli's eyes showed surprise.
