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

Chapter 259 Mu Peiling

After learning about Meng Di and the Meng family elders' final choice, Han Li smiled.

"At least you're not stupid anymore."

Jin Wuhuan is a very powerful sword cultivator.

Sooner or later, he will cultivate to the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

However, due to limited opportunities in the original trajectory, that person did not reach the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Elder Jin's swordsmanship is exceptionally high, making him arguably the foremost swordsman in Tiannan. He has numerous disciples, and his family interests are deeply intertwined with his. Following him, and acting as a substitute for his master in accepting disciples, he has taken in Meng Di, a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, who also has seven or eight Foundation Establishment disciples, including some with special physiques and other exceptional talents.

Under these circumstances, Meng Di could only enjoy very limited resources within the Ancient Sword Sect.

However, the inheritance of cultivation techniques may not be as good as the Qingyuan Sword Manual.

"Husband, you think highly of this young man?"

Yuan Yaoyan asked curiously.

"If this child has the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment stage, then he will be able to withstand the pressure of divine sense and launch a fierce counterattack when facing an attack from the peak of the late Core Formation stage. His sword heart is not bad, is it?"

Han Li smiled.

"Of course it's very good."

Yanli was generous with her praise.

However, she couldn't understand why her husband was so certain that Meng Di could have such a temperament.

"Furthermore, most sword cultivators are upright individuals who would rather seek the straight path than the crooked one. Moreover, Meng Di dared to fight back and was not crushed by the pressure from his family. If it were any other cultivator, under the pressure of being part of a family of cultivators, most would have been bound by kinship and morality and chosen to compromise."

"Isn't this kind of loyalty and compassion good?"

Yuan Yao was puzzled.

"Heh, if it were a good bond, it would be fine, but this is clearly the majority of the Meng family members using moral blackmail for their own selfish reasons. If Meng Di chooses to compromise, then he is not worthy of being my disciple."

If you don't fight for what you should fight for, you deserve to miss out on opportunities.

If you can compromise with your family once, you'll do it countless times.

Won't we be at the mercy of our family in the future?
"Furthermore, the Azure Origin Sword Technique needs a representative. If we leave behind offspring, we will need another protector. The Nine Spirits Sword Body is quite suitable. I need to see him in a while, so you two should stay away for now. It's not the time for you to show yourselves yet."

"it is good."

After Yuan Yao and Yan Li left, Meng Di entered the hall to pay his respects shortly afterward.

"To become my disciple, you must establish restrictions to prevent certain matters from being leaked. Are you willing?"

"Disciple is willing."

Meng Di stepped forward and performed a deep bow.

He then took out two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs from his storage bag as a gift for becoming an apprentice. These were obtained for him by the only three grandfathers in the clan who supported his decision to "make his own way," and it had taken them a lot of effort. Han Li accepted them without refusing.

Then, the young man took out a teapot, teacups, and spring water, busily brewing and pouring tea before respectfully offering it as a tea ceremony for his apprentice.

Han Li nodded and drank the cup of tea to formally become an apprentice.

"From now on, you will be my disciple."

"Meet the Master."

"The Nine Spirits Sword Body is indeed excellent, and it's perfect for inheriting my sword path. You can take the first eleven levels of the Azure Origin Sword Technique. Once you reach the late Foundation Establishment stage and have more self-defense capabilities, I will bestow upon you the secret technique of the Three Revolutions of Renewal, to prevent it from being leaked."

As he spoke, he tossed out the first jade slip.

"The disciple understands."

There is nothing wrong with that.

"Yes, and this jade slip contains my insights into cultivating sword techniques. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me for clarification."

Then, there was a elixir bottle:
"Here are six more Foundation Establishment Pills. Once you join my sect, you should strive to establish your foundation as soon as possible, lest you waste your exceptional talent."

Following that was a bead: "You should carry this bead with you from now on. It is made of Soul-Nourishing Wood and can nourish your soul and primordial spirit, allowing your divine consciousness to gradually grow stronger. It will greatly benefit your future cultivation..."

"Could this be the Soul-Nourishing Wood, one of the three divine trees?"

Meng Di exclaimed in surprise.

"you have heard?"

"Of course. How could we not know the name of the Three Divine Trees? The sacred tree of our Yunmeng Three Sects is one of the Three Divine Trees."

"Then you should know how precious this bead is."

"Thank you for your kindness, my teacher."

Meng Di was overjoyed.

This was an unexpected surprise.

If a sword cultivator's magical power and spiritual sense far surpass those of others at the same level, their combat strength can be greatly enhanced. The ability to simultaneously control multiple flying swords, increasing from three or five to a dozen, represents a completely different level of power. And this advantage becomes increasingly pronounced as one progresses through the ranks.

This master was truly generous and treated him without any mistreatment.

"Once you have established your foundation, I will teach you the first level of the Great Evolution Technique to enhance your divine sense."

"... "

"Also, here are five bottles of Foundation Establishment pills that are quite suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators. Take them and try to reach the mid-Foundation Establishment stage before the Sword Trial Tournament..."

"Yes."

After examining the pills inside the five bottles and smelling the soothing medicinal fragrance emanating from them, Meng Di was overjoyed.

I feel that my choice was at least correct.

A Nascent Soul stage disciple is indeed the most sought-after.

Putting everything else aside, these rewards alone put him far ahead of other cultivators of the same level and age.

"Go to your cave and go into seclusion. There's a little surprise waiting for you there."

When Meng Di entered his cave, he was completely stunned.

"This is... the Spirit Eye Stone?"

Although it's just a small piece of Spirit Eye Stone, it is indeed a genuine Spirit Eye Stone.

It is one of the three items in Barbarian Beard's collection.

The Great Fool originally had three pieces: one inherited from his own family, and the other two, one large and one small, were collected by him over a thousand years in the Chaotic Star Sea. To be precise, he stole them.

Among them, a very small piece, about the size of a palm, was given by Han Li as a small gift from an elder to a younger person.

"It is said that the elders of the Red Tassel Mountain lineage of the Falling Cloud Sect treat the younger generation extremely well, like their own children, and are very generous. Now it seems that the rumors are true. I greatly underestimated my master's wealth and how much he valued me."

Thinking of his deceased parents and his three grandfathers, his heart felt warmer.

"Oh no, my apprenticeship gift was inadequate." In his and the Meng family's previous opinion, two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs were enough.

The sincerity cannot be said to be insufficient.

But now it seems that these two thousand-year-old medicinal herbs are really not presentable.

"Before joining the sect, I heard that Master owed Uncle-Master Song a Spirit-Stabilizing Pill? It seems that I should establish my foundation as soon as possible, and it would be best to follow Master's arrangement and enter the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment before the Sword Trial Tournament. Only in this way will I have a greater chance of winning first place in the Sword Trial Tournament and obtaining the Spirit-Stabilizing Pill that only the first place winner can get."

Meng Di secretly cheered herself up.

"Master gave me so many cultivation resources, it must be for that Spirit-Stabilizing Pill, right?"

Yeah.

This is a perfect way to repay my master's generous gift.

...

at the same time.

At Tianquan Peak of Luoyun Sect, a female cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment is being harassed by a man with a lewd appearance.

"Junior Sister Mu, it's been a long time. I wonder what you've been up to lately? Our two families have been on good terms for generations (with intertwined interests). I've been trying to share information with you several times while I was building my foundation, but the communication talismans I sent out never received a response. So, I came to the main road of the mountain gate to try my luck, and sure enough, I ran into you, Junior Sister."

The man had a pointed face and looked to be about thirty years old, having recently completed his Foundation Establishment.

"Hmph, you surnamed Yan, what are you doing here?"

The woman whose path was blocked had a face as white as jade, a beautiful appearance, and was in her early twenties—the most youthful and vibrant time of her life. Moreover, at just over twenty years old, she was very close to the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage, and in another four or five years, she had a great chance of advancing to the middle Foundation Establishment stage.

She can be described as having both talent and good looks.

“Junior Sister Mu, my father has already discussed our marriage with your father. You see, our two families have been betrothed since childhood. I am the only son of the Yan family, while you are the only female cultivator in your Mu family lineage. According to the marriage agreement, once I reach the Foundation Establishment stage, you will have to marry your senior brother. I have come here to ask if you are prepared?”

Upon hearing this, the woman's face darkened.

Gritting teeth.

But I can't refute it.

How could she possibly resist the deals made by the older generation and then fall into her hands?

Moreover, since it involved the interests of the family's top brass, she had no choice but to object.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Marriage is a serious matter, not something to be taken lightly. I will go back and ask my father for details. Don't spread rumors in the sect and ruin my reputation."

Mu Peiling said angrily.

"Alright, alright, junior sister, you should discuss this with your father. I can wait, hehe..."

That little vixen won't escape his grasp.

When the woman returned to her cave, her good mood from the day vanished instantly, leaving only exhaustion and a sense of powerlessness against the overwhelming weight of her family.

"I don't want to marry that guy surnamed Yan. He's at most a Foundation Establishment cultivator, while I have a great chance of reaching Core Formation..."

"How can my life be ruined by such a hopeless, despicable, and lecherous man?"

However, if she unilaterally refuses, her family will cut off her cultivation resources.

They would also demand that she produce the cultivation supplies she had taken from her family years ago.

It even affected several of her closest relatives.

"what should I do?"

“Father will definitely not break the agreement. The marriage between the Mu family and the Yan family is inevitable. It involves too many exchanges of interests. The family’s higher-ups want to get what they need from the Yan family, and I am just a bargaining chip and sacrifice.”

"And the best way for me to escape this fate is to reach the Core Formation stage."

Once she reaches the Core Formation stage, the family elders should start currying favor with her.

"But there's simply not enough time..."

A deep sense of powerlessness rose within Mu Peiling.

Although she became an apprentice of a mid-stage Core Formation elder at Tianquan Peak, this master did not concern himself with family affairs, and her senior sisters and brothers could not help her either.

She can only rely on herself.

"Is there really no way at all?"

The woman sat dejectedly in front of the dressing table, looking at her beautiful reflection in the mirror, and silently shed two lines of tears.

She is not reconciled.

Suddenly, something occurred to her, and a final fighting spirit rose within her:

"No, that's not right, there's another way to handle this emergency."

"The sword-testing competition will be held in five or six years."

"If I could represent one of the twenty-four members of our sect in the competition and ultimately win first place, perhaps I could change the current situation?"

The first place winner will receive a Spirit Stabilizing Pill as a reward.

One Spirit-Stabilizing Pill is enough to get any late-stage Core Formation cultivator to step in and help her resolve the threats from her family and the Yan family.

"First place in the Sword Testing Tournament..."

"Spirit-Stabilizing Pill".

It is inevitable to win.

"I'll fight to be number one, even if it kills me!"

"I want to write my own life story! I don't need those family members interfering!"

"I will repay the support my family has given me over the years many times over, tenfold, once I achieve Core Formation. Even if I fail to form my Core, I will give back everything I have to my family..."

The reflection in the mirror showed a person biting their lip, blood trickling down the corner of their mouth.

His eyes were full of vibrant stubbornness.

...

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Mengdi lays the foundation.

Three years later, Meng Di's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage.

With her relentless hard work and the secret help of several close relatives in her clan, Mu Peiling entered the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

In addition, a young man named Sun Huo, who possesses dual spiritual roots, has also entered the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Han Li also discovered the location where the Snow Cloud Fox was seen.

"After searching for a long time, I finally found it."
