A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 121

Chapter 119 The Shortcut to Advancement for Junior Six: Making an Appointment for the Rainbow Grass at the Xu Family

an Appointment for the Rainbow Grass at the Xu Family. With the inner core of a level 5 crested dragon, Xiao Liu will definitely reach level 4 within a dozen years.

If he can get one or two more level 5 dragon demon cores, he can try to break through to level 5 in thirty or forty years.

This kind of spirit beast that relies on bloodline to level up can take a shortcut by using the inner cores of its own kind.

“And in this Chaotic Star Sea, other resources are hard to come by, but demon cores…”

As long as the spirit stones are in place, there is no demon core below the level 8 transformation stage that cannot be obtained!

The inner core of a level 7 dragon is just a matter of price.

In other words,

the dragon clan of the Chaotic Star Sea is Xiao Liu’s opportunity.

Xiao Liu’s path to advancement can be completely built on the basis of constantly devouring and absorbing high-level dragon demon cores.

“Looking at it this way, the dragon clan’s prohibition against humans raising dragons is probably for this reason!”

This is to prevent the dragon bloodline from being hunted down by humans, right?

Han Li stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Multiple level 5 dragon inner cores can cultivate a level 5 dragon.

So, can level 8 or 9 dragon inner cores cultivate a level 6 dragon?

Of course.

The prerequisite is that his cultivation and strength can advance by leaps and bounds, becoming no weaker than the original body.

Several more high-grade demon cores were auctioned off later.

However, Han Li didn’t make any more moves.

Even though two of them could be used to refine pills suitable for Core Formation cultivators, he resisted the urge to spend lavishly.

After the auction, there was a trade fair.

It was a trade fair between Foundation Establishment cultivators and Core Formation cultivators.

Here, the Fiend Core clone exchanged a forbidden spiritual herb, a seven- or eight-hundred-year-old herb, for a level 6 demon core and a set of materials from a level 5 demon beast. Although this level 6 demon beast inner core wasn’t a dragon-type demon core, it could be used as a major ingredient in refining Core Formation pills, making it very precious.

However,

the spiritual herbs the Fiend Core clone offered were even more precious.

It turns out that the value of spiritual herbs and medicines in the Chaotic Star Sea is even higher than that of many high-level demon cores. The principle of

scarcity driving up prices is vividly demonstrated in the Chaotic Star Sea.

“A sixth-level demon core, plus materials from a fifth-level demon beast, is only worth a seven- or eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herb?”

Is the Chaotic Star Sea too crazy, or is he just too ignorant and making a fuss?

On the way back to his cave, Han Li was speechless at the huge price difference.

He felt that

Master Hong Fu and Uncle Lei Wanhe, among others, had a much better chance of forming their Nascent Soul stage after coming to the Chaotic Star Sea.

This vast sea area possesses too many cultivation resources friendly to Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages.

Those who could compete to reach the late Core Formation stage or even the Pseudo-Nascent Soul stage in Tiannan, without exception, could save decades or even centuries of arduous cultivation time by coming to the Chaotic Star Sea, thanks to the easily accessible demon beast resources.

This indirectly gives them a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Unlike many late-stage Core Formation cultivators in the dozens of kingdoms of Tiannan, whose lifespans are insufficient and who die prematurely before even reaching the nascent soul stage,

in the Chaotic Star Sea, as long as one can reach the late-stage Core Formation, there are sufficient resources and opportunities to prepare for Nascent Soul formation.

Whether one succeeds or not is one thing;

whether one is qualified to take the step of shattering the Core and condensing the Nascent Soul is another.

“It’s a pity that Master and Uncle Lei are already in the late-stage Core Formation stage, so they don’t need to rely on pills made from various high-grade demon cores to save time in arduous cultivation.”

Uncle Li Huayuan, on the other hand,

found the Chaotic Star Sea to be perfect for him.

However,

he had already broken ties with Huangfeng Valley.

There was no way he would provide the ancient teleportation array.

It was best to keep it all to himself.

He wouldn’t have to worry about the division of profits.

He checked the intermediate-to-high-grade sensing talisman he kept close to his chest. The temperature wasn’t hot, meaning that no one nearby was using their divine sense to lock onto him. Only

after confirming that no one was tracking him did he return to his cave.

…

After returning to his cave, he first entered the spirit beast chamber, and then a beam of spiritual light pierced the secret waterway connecting the mountain waterfall to a lake several miles away.

A short while later, Little Six’s pure white body emerged from the water.

Seeing it was Han Li, it immediately snorted.

Then, it shook its body, splashing water over a radius of several dozen feet.

Han Li dodged the splashes and took out the level-five crested dragon inner core he had obtained at the auction.

Little Six suddenly smelled a special aura that made its bloodline subtly restless, and its entire body shuddered violently. Its

massive body, over twenty feet long, abruptly turned towards Han Li,

its eyes wide open.

“Want it?”

Han Li smiled.

Little Six nodded repeatedly: Yes, yes, yes!

Master, give it to me!

Give it to me~

Seeing this, Han Li tossed out the demon core, warning, “Don’t let me down in the future, and don’t betray me…”

Every time he saw Xiao Liu, it reminded him of the ungrateful wretch the original owner had painstakingly raised: the Six-Winged Frost Centipede.

One Xiao Liu.

One old Liu.

‘Master, don’t worry…’

Xiao Liu said confidently.

However, Han Li still felt uneasy and added another layer of contractual restriction.

Actually, every time he wanted to reinforce the contractual restriction, he would offer a sweet treat to appease him.

So far, it seemed to be working quite well.

…

After dealing with the Rooster-Crested Flood Dragon Demon Core, Han Li, wearing a Thousand Illusions Sect magic mask that concealed most of his face, and his Fiend Core clone took action again.

The two rode the Flowing Cloud Flying Boat towards the northwest of Tianxing City.

The giant island where Tianxing City was located was not only a treasure trove of spiritual veins and the largest human settlement in the Inner Star Sea, but also a source of spiritual herbs.

The most famous spiritual herb was the Rainbow Grass,

also known as the Demon-Attracting Grass.

This spiritual herb was characterized by its thirteen cylindrical, curled leaves. Its growth mechanism involves unfolding one leaf every hundred years, simultaneously turning white and emitting a rosy glow.

The unique scent emitted when the grass unfolds its leaves has an extremely strong attraction to demonic beasts below the eighth level of transformation. It can attract demonic beasts to gather and even trigger large-scale beast tides. The intensity of the emitted scent is directly related to the number of leaves unfolded; the more leaves unfolded, the wider the attraction range.

It also has a strong attraction for demonic beasts that have reached the eighth level but have not yet transformed or gained intelligence.

Moreover, this wondrous grass has the effect of promoting the reproduction of demonic beasts.

The reproduction-promoting effect is also closely related to the number of leaves unfolded.

The more leaves unfolded, the stronger the reproduction-promoting effect.

When four leaves unfold, the alluring aura and reproduction-promoting effect reach a peak, attracting seventh-level demonic beasts.

If eight or nine leaves unfold, it might even alarm eighth-level demonic beasts in the deep sea.

With such miraculous effects, how could the human cultivators of the Chaotic Star Sea not make use of the Rainbow Grass?

However, the Rainbow Grass prefers coral reefs and must grow on them. The coral reefs near Tianxing City in the Inner Star Sea are particularly favored by the Rainbow Grass.

Furthermore, once planted, the Rainbow Grass cannot be transplanted; otherwise, it will cease to sprout leaves and emit its unique scent,

losing its ability to attract demons and accelerate growth.

In other words, the large-scale cultivation of this spiritual herb is highly restricted by its aquatic habitat.

Similar to how Thunder Bamboo and Golden Thunder Bamboo only appear in the Inner Star Sea

, Golden Thunder Bamboo is practically legendary elsewhere, and no other Golden Thunder Bamboo magical artifacts have ever been seen.

Therefore,

while it’s not impossible to cultivate Rainbow Grass on a large scale in the Outer Star Sea to hunt demonic beasts,

it requires considerable skill. Otherwise, how could the original owner have taken advantage of the small bottle to reap such a windfall? Northwest of Tianxing City, and in several coral reef areas of the Inner Star Sea, powerful forces specialize in cultivating demon-attracting grass.

However, these forces cultivate Rainbow Grass not to attract and kill demonic beasts in the Inner Star Sea, but to accelerate the growth of their own spiritual beasts or insects.

Some Core Formation cultivators in the Star Sea are also experts in insect manipulation.

When Han Li and his Fiend Core clone arrived in the northwest of Tianxing City, they went directly to the powerful cultivation clan there: the Xu family.

The Xu family was one of the elder families of the Star Palace, and one of their Nascent Soul ancestors was an elder of the Star Palace.

The Xu family, along with a dozen or so other families, had long monopolized the business of Rainbow Grass in Tianxing City.

“Senior, fellow Daoist, have you two come for the Demon-Attracting Grass?”

Inside a Wanbao Tower run by the Xu family, Han Li and his Fiend Core clone were received by a Foundation Establishment middle-aged man.

Han Li didn’t hide anything and frankly nodded in acknowledgment:

“That’s right. I’ve heard that the Xu family can pre-order Rainbow Grass that will be in bloom a hundred or even several hundred years in advance? Is that true?” “

I”

refers to Wang Chan.

He would name the Insect Demon Wang Chan from now on.

“Hmm, I wonder if the rumor I’ve heard is true or false?” The Fiend Core clone chimed in.

Murder and arson, Li Feiyu was that name.

“It is indeed true.”

The middle-aged man from the Xu family nodded with a smile.

Then, he abruptly changed the subject:

“Actually, my Xu family can not only arrange for people to help you take care of the Rainbow Grass, thus pinpointing the exact day and hour when it unfolds its leaves, but we can also provide you with Rainbow Grass that is about to unfold its leaves, even those that are a hundred or a thousand years old…”

“That can’t be right. It’s normal for Rainbow Grass to have an error of one or two years when it unfolds its leaves. How could it be so precise as to pinpoint the exact day and hour?”

That’s not how you make a boast.

Han Li and his Demon Core clone both narrowed their eyes.

“That’s for laymen. My Xu family is different. My ancestors have been studying Rainbow Grass for tens of thousands of years. We can certainly summarize some of the habits of spiritual herbs.”

The middle-aged man said with a faint smile.

The secrets involved were naturally not for outsiders to know.

Upon hearing this, Han Li’s eyes lit up.

“Alright, fellow Daoist, you can rest assured. My Xu family has always been honest and fair in business, a reputation built over millennia.”

The middle-aged man was quite certain that Han Li and his Fiend Core clone were new customers, and his attitude was extremely polite:

“Senior Li, Fellow Daoist Wang, please follow me…”
