A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 14
Chapter 14 Stealing the Secret Manual? No, Borrowing it.
Doctor Mo left in the morning.
Han Li invited Li Feiyu to meet him at Chishui Peak Waterfall in the afternoon.
Around 3:15 PM.
When the sun was at its zenith.
A figure quickly darted through the forests near Chishui Peak, its afterimage flashing by on the narrow path.
Just as the two men practicing under the Chishui Peak Waterfall closed their eyes, receiving the rush of the waterfall, this figure, who had somehow appeared near the bushes on the side, suddenly leaped out and aimed straight for their necks.
Martial arts, Minor Grappling Hand.
“Again?”
Hearing the sound of wind breaking, Zhang Tie and Han Li opened their eyes simultaneously.
This time, Han Li no longer concealed his keen senses, acting a fraction of a second before Zhang Tie.
The next moment, four hands collided.
Han Li used the Entangling Silk Hand, a technique privately taught to him by the inner disciple Li Feiyu.
Zhang Tie threw a straight punch, wide and powerful, relying on brute force to overcome technique.
After a brief exchange of blows, they swiftly withdrew.
“Senior Brother Li, it’s been half a month, and your strength has become much more formidable. Have you broken through?” Zhang Tie asked in surprise.
Clearly, Li Feiyu and he were already acquainted.
He also knew that Li Feiyu cultivated the Elephant Armor Technique.
“Yes, I was fortunate enough to reach the third level two days ago,”
Li Feiyu readily admitted, making no attempt to hide his progress. Mentioning his improved technique and increased strength, he even proudly tossed his long hair, displaying a rather flamboyant air.
“Indeed, cultivating the Elephant Armor Technique requires a weakened version of the Marrow Extraction Pill combined with a pain-relieving elixir I concocted,” Han Li laughed.
Marrow Extraction Pill: After consumption, it can significantly overdraw the body’s potential, using future lifespan to enhance the user’s current abilities. Once ingested, this medicine must be taken again periodically, enduring inhuman pain from tendon extraction and marrow draining. If the medication is stopped midway, the consequences range from complete paralysis to death. Furthermore, within ten years of the first use, one could potentially die from overdrawing their life force.
His claim of developing a weakened version of the Marrow Extraction Pill to aid in the cultivation of the Elephant Armor Technique wasn’t self-aggrandizement, but rather a conclusion drawn from long-term experiments using Li Feiyu as a guinea pig.
Otherwise, how could Li Feiyu have reached the third level so quickly?
Speaking of which, how did the three of them become friends?
Naturally, Han Li’s role in connecting them was crucial.
To deal with Mo Juren, Han Li considered many options.
One was escape.
This was a last resort.
Escaping the Seven Mysteries Sect, or even escaping Jingzhou, would mean freedom and boundless possibilities.
The cost was that the Han family in Wuligou would likely be targeted by Doctor Mo
and subjected to retaliation .
The second option was resistance.
However, without the help of the small bottle, cultivation couldn’t advance rapidly in just three to five years. Alone and isolated, he couldn’t possibly turn the tables and defeat Mo Juren.
Therefore, he considered finding allies.
Zhang Tie was his natural ally, while Li Feiyu was an external ally.
The reason he was interested in Li Feiyu was mainly due to the character setting he had in his previous life: the seemingly cold but warm-hearted Senior Brother Li, whom he could confidently rely on. Furthermore, he could exchange benefits with Li Feiyu, helping this Senior Brother Li, whose martial arts talent was mediocre, achieve his life’s goals. In return, Li Feiyu needed to repay him.
Three life-or-death opportunities to help him were the rewards he proposed.
In the book, Li Feiyu, in order to stand out, secretly took the “Marrow Extraction Pill,” a secret medicine with severe side effects, at a young age to squeeze out his potential, taking a risky path that drastically shortened his lifespan, preventing him from living past 20.
It was also in the book that the original owner of this body concocted medicine to help Li Feiyu alleviate the pain of the backlash after taking the Marrow Extraction Pill. Even when leaving the Seven Mysteries Sect to seek immortality, he helped Senior Brother Li concoct a precious medicine to reduce the side effects, allowing Senior Brother Li, who was originally destined to die, to live for many more years.
The descendants of Li Feiyu and the descendants of the Han family later supported each other, one a scholar and the other a warrior, continuing their lineage for hundreds of years without interruption.
“Li Feiyu, the murderer and arsonist; Han Tianzun, the savior of suffering…”
This saying perfectly summarizes the close relationship the two achieved in the book.
In short, Li Feiyu, as a key character in his writing who values loyalty and righteousness, was worth winning over.
Therefore
, more than two years ago,
he began contacting Li Feiyu, who was the same age as him.
It was quite a coincidence.
This Senior Brother Li wasn’t actually much older than him.
Although he had entered the sect a little earlier than them, it was only about six months earlier.
The Seven Mysteries Sect recruited new members twice a year, once in the first half and once in the second half. Li Feiyu entered in the first half, while he, Zhang Tie, and Wang Dapang’s group entered in the second half.
Being the same age, they got along well.
He was well aware of Li Feiyu’s lackluster martial arts foundation and knew that Li Feiyu would eventually force himself to take the Marrow Extraction Pill to squeeze out his potential, so he could naturally start from these aspects.
When Li Feiyu’s martial arts suddenly began to improve rapidly, he would know that Senior Brother Li had started taking the Marrow Extraction Pill.
At that time,
he only needed to happen to witness Senior Brother Li taking the Marrow Extraction Pill and then intervene to treat him.
With a plan in mind, this opportunity was not hard to find.
And because they had already developed a good relationship and were practically inseparable, Li Feiyu couldn’t bring himself to kill him immediately at that time.
Moreover, he cleverly managed the situation, ensuring that Li Feiyu could continue taking the weakened version of the Marrow Extraction Pill to unleash his potential and enhance his strength, without excessively damaging his lifespan. He also helped alleviate the pain of the marrow-pulling process during the pill’s administration. Naturally, Senior Brother Li became even closer to him.
Dividing a single Marrow Extraction Pill into ten portions and supplementing them with other specific spiritual herbal liquids still resulted in a steady increase in the user’s strength,
but at a much lower cost.
It wouldn’t affect lifespan.
Of course, the premise was that one couldn’t take too much, otherwise it would become addictive, leading to addiction. Discontinuing the medication would be equally fatal.
The reason he understood the Marrow Extraction Pill’s properties so well was because Doctor Mo had used it on him and Zhang Tie; they had already been used as guinea pigs.
In other words,
he could give Li Feiyu what he wanted.
Only if he lived could Li Feiyu’s future be better, and his life goals not become mere illusions.
The three had known each other for two or three years, their bond strengthened by Han Li. This bond was exceptionally strong within the Seven Mysteries Sect, a place known for its coldness and indifference.
While the three outwardly appeared to share a common role, he was the true leader.
He and Zhang Tie continued their training and martial arts practice under Doctor Mo, while Senior Brother Li made a name for himself within the sect.
Especially after Senior Brother Li mastered the Elephant Armor Technique, his strength became unmatched among his peers. His strength, far exceeding his age, combined with his rudimentary internal energy and movement techniques, made him virtually invincible in his age group.
If Zhang Tie possessed excellent aptitude for the Elephant Armor Technique, then Li Feiyu was a genius.
A dual genius, possessing both innate and acquired talent.
This was mainly because Li Feiyu endured the excruciating pain of taking the Marrow Extraction Pill, suffering excruciating pain and even dying from the age of ten until he was fourteen or fifteen, still lively and energetic. In terms of pain tolerance, even Zhang Tie had to admit defeat.
The Elephant Armor Technique, seemingly tailor-made for Zhang Tie, is actually more like a creation for Li Feiyu.
Furthermore, Senior Brother Li doesn’t mind increasing the dosage of the Marrow Extraction Pill or sacrificing his lifespan to enhance his power. With his innate and acquired talent, he mastered the third level of the Elephant Armor Technique in just over six months.
If he continues this vigorous and diligent practice, another two years will surely reach the fifth or sixth level.
Before the age of twenty, it’s possible he could even reach the eighth or ninth level of perfection.
Who told this ruthless individual to use his lifespan and potential as supplementary bargaining chips?
‘Deep Blue, use one year of lifespan to exchange for this great advancement in power…’
‘Deep Blue, use ten years of lifespan to exchange for this mastery of the technique…’
The main focus is on sacrificing life for strength.
Most people would cherish their lives and wouldn’t be so ruthless to themselves.
“Han Li, did you specifically have Wang Dapang contact me last night for something?” After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Li Feiyu got down to business.
“Senior Brother Li, I need two martial arts manuals from within the sect. Can you help me find them?” Han Li asked seriously.
“You want me to steal manuals from the Seven Absolutes Hall’s library? Are you crazy?” Li Feiyu frowned. “If we’re discovered, we’ll be in deep trouble.”
Zhang Tie, standing nearby, also felt a pang of anxiety.
“It’s borrowing, not stealing. Don’t talk nonsense,”
Han Li corrected him sternly.
He would definitely help the Seven Mysteries Sect if it faced difficulties in the future.
Consider this an advance payment for that time.
