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

Chapter 253 Returning to Old Friendships: Tian Buque's Wishful Thinking

Yue country.

Taiyue Mountain, formerly the sacred site of Huangfeng Valley.

Han Li and several others revisited the place.

Now, he naturally has no fear of the old demon Yunlu.

"Is this the place where my husband once cultivated?"

On the mountain path, Yuan Yaoyan gracefully followed Han Li beside her.

"Yes, that mountain peak used to be the main hall for the sect leader's council, that area was the living quarters for the Qi Refining disciples, and that peak was the cave dwelling area for the Foundation Establishment stage managers. That valley was the herb garden of a friend of mine. As for the main peak, it belonged to the Nascent Soul cultivators of Yellow Maple Valley..."

As they walked, Han Li introduced the various items to everyone as if they were his own treasures.

"More than two hundred years, mid-stage Nascent Soul. Tsk tsk, the sect leader's talent in cultivation is truly unheard of."

Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi clicked their tongues in amazement.

Han Li didn't hide anything, but instead told everyone about the existence of the Crimson Forbidden Land:

"The Crimson Forbidden Land is surrounded by an ancient wind-attribute array. Only cultivators at the Qi Refining stage can enter it during the array's weakened period, which occurs once every five years, without being targeted by the array. I was fortunate enough to enter it back then."

"Within the forbidden area, there are many rare and precious materials, including fire-attribute spiritual herbs that are ten thousand years old."

"Through some means, I forcibly contracted a level 2 black dragon that time. Dragons are spirit beasts, and a level 2 one has the strength of an ordinary level 3 demon beast. In the forbidden area, level 3 demon beasts are very rare, and most of them lie dormant in their own lairs. As long as you don't cause trouble, those level 3 demon beasts usually won't show themselves."

"With the help of my talismans and the black dragon, I swept through many monster lairs in the forbidden area and plundered a large number of spiritual herbs and medicines that were hundreds of years old. I was able to establish my foundation and even complete the first and second stages of cultivation because of the medicinal power of those spiritual herbs."

"Not only that, I also obtained a large number of spirit stones and top-grade magic artifacts from the seven sects of cultivators who entered the forbidden area with me, which greatly increased my wealth."

He became the most eye-catching nouveau riche at the time.

It's no exaggeration to say that even disregarding the spiritual herbs he possesses, his entire fortune is enough to alarm even Foundation Establishment or Core Formation stage sect elders who would openly rob him.

"That's not right, my husband. With so many good things to collect, how did you manage to avoid attracting the attention of those Core Formation stage cultivators?"

Yanli exclaimed in surprise.

"Because I obtained a treasure chest about ten feet long from the forbidden area that can block the divine sense of a Core Formation stage cultivator, it's not a problem to stuff a large amount of spiritual herbs into the chest and squeeze it in."

He couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of how he had used the golden treasure chest, storage bag, and fragments of the silk handkerchief magic item to steal the elixir.

I was really cautious back then.

At the same time, it was truly like walking on thin ice.

If any link in the chain goes wrong, everything will be over.

Actually, there was a mistake, namely Gan Rushuang.

He shouldn't have reminded Gan Rushuang, shouldn't have reminded her that the minor Five Elements Sumeru Forbidden Array inside the stone hall passage had already been activated by that unruly girl from the Hidden Moon Sect using a minor Five Elements talisman. If he hadn't reminded Gan Rushuang, she would have undoubtedly faced a near-death experience that time.

after that.

He was also glad that he had reminded her.

Fortunately, Ru Shuang was able to escape the Crimson Forbidden Zone safely.

Because it was only much later that he learned that Gan Rushuang's master was the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect, and Rushuang was that Grand Elder's junior disciple, and was quite favored and regarded as the future Nascent Soul seed of the Hidden Moon Sect.

If Ru Shuang, a Core Formation stage cultivator, were to encounter an accident within the forbidden area, none of the surviving Qi Refining stage cultivators from the seven sects would have an easy time.

They will most likely be targeted by the Old Monster Qiong of the Hidden Moon Sect and that Grand Elder.

They will be taken back by high-ranking cultivators of the Hidden Moon Sect to have their souls searched, in order to learn the details of what happened in the forbidden area.

If that happens, he's finished too.

therefore.

He was also glad that he had felt compassion for Gan Rushuang that day.

Because he suspected that Gan Rushuang was the female lead Nangong Wan, he gave her a hint.

This compassion not only saved Gan Rushuang, but also indirectly saved himself.

Moreover, he has now added a Nascent Soul level combatant to his ranks.

Looking back, it's truly heartbreaking.

"Where is my husband's cave?"

"In the northwest corner of Mount Taiyue..."

The Spirit Eye Spring, radiating spiritual energy, provided an opportunity for my growth.

After learning a little about their sect leader's past, everyone's expressions changed, and their eyes gleamed with surprise.

Especially when he learned about the opportunity near the ancient teleportation array and that the five-colored skeleton belonged to Ji Xuan, Xiao Cha's disciple and junior brother Ji Yin, he secretly marveled at the boy's luck.

"The Heaven-Mending Pill was obtained so easily and without any explanation?"

The bearded man was utterly speechless.

He went through tremendous effort to get his hands on one.

Han Li is doing well.

I picked up most of the pills while looting the corpse.

It's like they were born with great fortune.

"So, Junior Brother Jixuan teleported to Tiannan. No wonder he disappeared for so many years."

Inside the Soul-Controlling Banner, Ji Yin shook his head, and the past was like smoke.

"So, this Han boy is actually considered part of my Xuan Yin Island lineage? He's practically my disciple or grand-disciple?"

Thinking of his current predicament, Xuan Gu Shangren Xiao Cha twitched the corner of his mouth.

"The Yan Family Fort incident, the Golden Drum Plain battlefield, and the two trips into the Blood Forbidden Zone to make a fortune! Before I knew it, I had a fortune of nearly a million spirit stones! The events I experienced were truly fascinating."

Qing Yi stroked his beard, praising repeatedly:
"The sect leader brought a large number of spirit stones from Tiannan to the Chaotic Star Sea, while our Chaotic Star Sea lacks spirit stones but not demon beast resources, resulting in a significant difference in the purchasing power of spirit stones between the two sides."

"One low-grade spirit stone in Tiannan is equivalent to five or six in the Chaotic Star Sea."

"Making a profit from the price difference at both ends..."

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"

Abundant cultivation resources make it possible to reach the third stage of cultivation and even the formation of the Golden Core.

After achieving Core Formation, the efficiency of refining Heaven-Mending Pills greatly increased, thus compensating for the shortcomings in cultivation aptitude. To say nothing more, reaching the late Core Formation stage became much easier. It even added some confidence to the Nascent Soul stage.

Once you reach the late stage of Core Formation, returning to Tiannan and obtaining the Spirit Stabilizing Pill from the Luoyun Sect will be another huge help.

The fact that their sect leader was able to form a Nascent Soul is a perfect example of a combination of fortuitous opportunity and careful planning.

Some of these successes were accidental, but most were the result of accumulated experience and knowledge.

The more they learned, the more confident Manhuzi and Qingyi became in their belief in their sect leader, who had reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm at just over two hundred years old.

This person is destined for great things.

wrong.

It should be said that he has already achieved great things.

And since becoming friends with this person, they seem to have gained many benefits without even realizing it?
Just as the group was reminiscing about Han Li's past deeds, they suddenly realized something and looked towards the northwest.

Han Li was the first to look up in that direction.

Next up was the barbarian bearded man.

Then there's Qingyi.

Next is Yuan Yao…

… Hundreds of miles away, two streaks of light appeared one after the other.

The former is a pink escape light, and the latter is a purple escape light.

Suddenly, the streaking light stopped, revealing a charming figure who appeared to be under twenty years old. The young woman looked at the streaking light, which had also stopped abruptly after approaching, and seemed somewhat exasperated:
"Young Master Tian, ​​don't push your luck."

Behind them, a man's figure came into view.

This person has delicate and handsome features, and when he opens his folding fan, he exudes an elegant demeanor.

“Junior Sister Xuan’er, how have I bullied you? I’m just following my father’s instructions to deliver a message. I’m discussing the marriage between our two families with Senior Uncle Yunlu, and then I just came to see you, follow you, and get to know you. How is this bullying?”

As she spoke, she brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, her smile as warm as a spring breeze.

But to a charming young woman, it seemed nauseating.

"Who gave you permission to follow me all this way?"

The girl was Dong Xuan'er.

Now her figure is becoming more and more voluptuous, and she is becoming more and more charming.

Even her anger at this moment has a charming and adorable quality to it.

Upon seeing it, Tian Buque became even more tempted.

Previously, Dong Xuan'er's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, quickly reaching the mid-stage of Core Formation. At that time, he had only recently condensed his Golden Core and could only look up to her with resentment.

However, later, this woman encountered a mental setback during her cultivation, becoming stuck at the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation for thirty years. This gave him another opportunity to catch up. His efforts paid off; by simultaneously consuming pills and replenishing his cultivation by absorbing the essence of several female Core Formation cultivators his parents had captured on the battlefield of Mulan, he not only caught up with Dong Xuan'er in cultivation but also recently advanced to the late-stage Core Formation, surpassing her in one fell swoop.

The thought of the woman's value only fueled his desire.

"My father will abdicate in about forty years..."

"The next sect leader will be selected from this group of cultivators who are under three hundred years old."

"If I can gain the favor of Master Yunlu, and with three Nascent Soul cultivators in my Tian family, my rise to power will be a sure thing."

Every three hundred years, the position of sect leader changes hands, and the entire sect will, according to tradition, pool together three resources to aid in the formation of the Nascent Soul stage. Only the sect leader, the Grand Elder, and the sect's recognized top Nascent Soul stage genius can each receive one.

He couldn't count on the Grand Elder's share.

I don't even ask for the share of the number one genius.

The only option is to find a way to become the sect leader.

If he could win this woman's heart and become her cultivation partner, it would be tantamount to gaining Master Yunlu's support within the inner sect. He would then be the undisputed next sect leader of the Hehuan Sect.

"Within the sect, the only one who can give me political leverage to help me surpass my elder brother is this woman."

He was determined to have Dong Xuan'er.

“Junior Sister Xuan’er, don’t be so heartless. I’ve been following you all this way because I’m worried about your safety and want to protect you. You should also know that the border area between our Yue Kingdom, Yuanwu Kingdom, and the Righteous Alliance has been quite turbulent lately. Ten thousand miles west of Taiyue Mountain lies the small kingdom of Shayun, which is the territory of the Tianji Sect. You must know how fierce the conflict between the Tianji Sect and the Yuling Sect has been over the years. I’m worried about you traveling alone.”

"Senior brother, my love for you is truly unwavering."

sincere?

Ha, do you really think she's the kind of woman who can be easily fooled?
"Young Master Tian, ​​I appreciate your kindness. However, my heart belongs to someone else, and that person is not you."

"Besides me, which other junior sister in the sect would she possibly fancy?"

Tian Buque said confidently.

A handsome and charming young man.

The two of them rose up again, one in front and one behind, one fleeing and one chasing, and soon arrived at the area of ​​Han Li's former Spirit Spring Cave.

As she approached her familiar surroundings, Dong Xuan'er couldn't help but glance at the cave dwelling once more.

Over the years, she has arranged for people to come and take care of things, such as cleaning up the dust.

Seeing this, Tian Buque initially didn't think much of it, but then he suddenly remembered some past rumors, his expression changed slightly, and his face gradually darkened:

"Huh? Isn't this the cave of that Han kid from the Red Tassel Mountain lineage?"

He had investigated this matter himself.

"That kid has been missing for who knows how many years..."

"Wait, is Dong Xuan'er still hung up on that pseudo-spiritual root waste who's nowhere to be found?"

Upon thinking of this, his face immediately darkened.

It felt like I'd swallowed a fly.

He pursued her relentlessly, yet could never win her heart, while he longed for someone else.
"That makes no sense."

He immediately waved his sleeve, summoning a magical seal, and then smashed it down onto the cave area below.

The magic seal was initially only the size of a palm, but it expanded to several tens of feet after expansion.

With a single seal, the entire hill will vanish.

Upon seeing this, the girl flying ahead changed her expression drastically.

A warning was immediately issued:

"Tian Buque, you dare!"

This was like adding fuel to the fire.

Upon hearing this, Young Master Tian's anger intensified even further.

He immediately activated the magic seal, which had expanded to tens of feet in size, and slammed it down heavily.

Dong Xuan'er wanted to stop it, but having already flown away and created a considerable distance, it was too late to intervene now.

As the giant seal fell, the entire hundred-foot-tall mountain collapsed, exploded, and turned into dust in an instant.

The hundred-foot cliff was crushed into a pile of rubble and dust.

Upon witnessing that scene, the girl felt as if a piece of her beautiful memory was missing, or as if she had been pricked by a needle, and she immediately flew into a rage:
"Tian Buque, I'm going to kill you!"

With a wave of his hand, four green-and-gold-edged mantises, each about ten feet long, appeared beside him, along with two other magical treasures.

The mantis with its flapping wings and gleaming blades is the Golden-backed Mantis.

At this moment, Dong Xuan'er's eyes were even redder.

"Junior sister, don't forget, you are a member of our Hehuan Sect. What's the point of thinking about outsiders all day? Do you think you can recruit him into the sect?"

Tian Buque responded with a slash from the magic weapon, the Moon Golden Wheel.

With the combined attack of four level-four peak Goldenback Mantises, a few strands of hair fluttered down.

The second young master of the Tian family, who was flying backwards, glanced to the side and was furious.

Although the attack had been limited in power, it had still pierced through the protective light barrier and severed a lock of his long hair. This level of attack showed absolutely no regard for camaraderie among fellow disciples. Realizing this, and considering the reasons behind it all, Tian Buque's expression grew increasingly grim, and he finally tore away his facade of gentle refinement:
"Bitch..."

...

Han Li and his group had been flying towards his former cave dwelling area for a short while when they witnessed this scene, and he was stunned for a moment. Then, an inexplicable anger flared up.

Especially when he saw Dong Xuan'er fall into a disadvantageous position and the four golden-backed mantises were all injured, his brows furrowed slightly.

Hearing Tian Ershao's frivolous words provoking Dong Xuan'er, he became even more furious.

They had no time to leisurely watch the show from over a hundred miles away.

Immediately, a beam of light appeared, and he charged into the battle. The enhanced Invisible Escape technique was truly silent and stealthy.

When they got within ten miles, they stopped hiding and instead used their Wind and Thunder Wings on their backs to teleport in a flash, appearing in front of Tian Buque in a few blinks!
In the instant following the suppression of divine sense, a hand swiftly reached out and grabbed the completely bewildered Second Young Master Tian by the neck:

"You bitch, who are you calling a slut?"

　I haven't been feeling well, and the quality of my recent chapters has declined; I've unconsciously been writing about inner monologues. I need to take a break. For now, I'll update twice a day, giving me more time to organize my thoughts. This is the only way to be responsible to everyone's subscriptions, so please understand.
