A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 143

Chapter 141 Never Treated Unfairly, The Ten Beauties of the Star Sea

“Also, there’s the matter of finding a rare treasure to prevent inner demons.”

“Of course, these things can be traded for with money. It’s best if you can get them, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t.”

“Remember, you absolutely cannot leave Tianxing City.”

Han Li solemnly and seriously gave a few instructions.

“Husband, is something big going to happen outside the city?”

“Yes, husband, why are you so nervous?”

Yanli and Yuanyao asked in surprise.

“The two leading forces of the righteous and demonic paths will probably form an alliance soon to go to war with the Star Palace. The two sides have been preparing for over a hundred years, constantly infiltrating various forces and recruiting high-level cultivators from other righteous and demonic forces as well as neutral forces. It seems that the time is ripe. In less than thirty years, a battle for the hegemony of the Chaotic Star Sea will begin. At this time, it’s best not to go out and run into trouble…”

Han Li said solemnly.

He was not exaggerating.

Upon hearing this, the two women’s expressions changed slightly.

Before they could ask anything more, Han Li waved his hand, saying,

“The war between the three families hasn’t been made public yet. As long as you two stay in the city and don’t go out easily, the righteous and demonic paths won’t notice you, and even if they do, they can’t do anything to you.”

“Cultivate well. With these cultivation resources, I believe you’ll soon reach the mid-stage of Core Formation, and reaching the late-stage before the Void Heaven Palace opens isn’t impossible.”

There are still over twenty years until the dungeon opens.

There’s plenty of time.

“If you sisters can truly reach the late-stage of Core Formation, then all my years of hard work outside won’t have been in vain,”

Han Li said tactfully.

He then left a token:

“I’ve modified my secluded cultivation chamber; you can use it temporarily. Don’t slack off.”

With that, he opened the door and left with the Fiend Soul.

The two women watched him leave, their gazes lingering for a long time.

After a long while, Yanli closed the cave’s array and returned to the main hall. On the table in the main hall lay two storage bags. She picked one up and glanced at it, her pupils immediately contracting, her red lips parting slightly:

“This, this…”

Yuan Yao, who had been somewhat reluctant to part with that tender moment, now withdrew her attachment and looked at her with confusion:

“Sister Yan, what’s wrong?”

“Look at the storage bag our husband left us…”

Storage bag?

Yuan Yao picked up the other one from the table and looked at it. The next moment, her eyes also lit up with surprise:

“This, this, how could there be so many level six or seven demon cores?”

Inside the storage bag were six level six demon cores and two level seven demon cores, along with a large quantity of other pills.

The demon cores, combined with the prepared spiritual herbs, could be used to refine a large quantity of pills suitable for the sisters to improve their cultivation. The finished pills were also among the finest, best suited for those in the early and middle stages of Core Formation.

These demon cores and pills, if used properly, would be enough to save them from a hundred years of arduous cultivation.

“Huh? How come the spiritual energy of these three spirit stones is so pure?”

Yuan Yao also noticed the three green spirit stones stored in separate boxes.

Each one exuded an extremely pure spiritual energy, much purer than the magical energy and true essence within their bodies.

“Could these be high-grade spirit stones that even major powers fight tooth and nail to obtain?”

The two women were incredibly shocked.

“It’s said that a single high-grade spirit stone is worth tens or hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones?”

“Our husband gave us three pieces…”

“How hard has our husband worked all these years in the outside world?”

“Was it for us sisters?”

Unconsciously, the two women bit their lips tightly.

“Let’s go see the secluded cultivation chamber our husband left behind…?”

“Okay.”

Holding the token, they entered the chamber, and the next moment, the pure spiritual energy that rushed towards them made them feel completely comfortable.

The several-foot-wide chamber was filled with extremely comfortable pure wood-attribute spiritual energy.

This spiritual energy was completely restricted by the spirit-binding array, unable to dissipate.

The source is the spiritual energy absorbed and compressed from the top-grade spiritual veins of Biling Island by the magical treasure, the Water-Fire Gourd. When

fully activated, the Water-Fire Gourd can expand to seven or eight zhang in size, allowing it to absorb a significant amount of pure spiritual energy from the Biling Island spiritual veins. After absorption, the energy is compressed within the gourd. This can be achieved by shrinking the gourd

, rapidly reducing it from seven or eight zhang to one or two chi, or even smaller.

The large amount of spiritual energy within is then squeezed and sealed into another small magical gourd inside the gourd.

Han Li had crafted over a hundred such small magical gourds in his earlier years.

Each one, mimicking the original gourd design, was filled with a large amount of spiritual energy from the Biling Island spiritual veins.

It’s no exaggeration to say that any one of these small gourds, if used well, could be comparable to one or two high-grade spirit stones.

He had kept a full twenty of these small gourds in this secluded cultivation chamber.

All of them used formations to stably guide the spiritual energy within, thus artificially creating a high-quality cultivation ground similar to the spiritual vein environment of Biling Island.

Not only that, but

there was also a Spirit Eye Stone the size of a washbasin inside the secret chamber.

It could easily be used as a futon or stool.

The Spirit Eye Stone has the function of purifying and refining spiritual energy.

The Spirit Eye Stone absorbs the pure spiritual energy in the secret chamber and then releases it again, which undoubtedly improves the quality of the spiritual energy here.

Even a small Spirit Eye Stone can help a cultivator increase their cultivation speed by about 20%.

Let alone such a large Spirit Eye Stone.

Of course, compared to the other dozen or so Spirit Eye Stones Han Li possessed, this one was only of medium size.

Besides these resources, the two women also each had a Spirit Eye Pearl in their storage bags.

However, both were locked by restrictions, requiring a mid-stage Core Formation cultivation level to break through and retrieve the items.

The two Spirit Eye Pearls were treasures he had prepared for the two women to help them advance to the late-stage Core Formation.

Since the two women had not betrayed his trust, they naturally received his reward.

Especially Yanli…

he gave her an extra ancient treasure for protection.

… As for

Han Li

, after leaving the cave, he went to the current location of the Miaoyin Sect.

According to his understanding, since moving to Tianxing City, the Miaoyin Sect had not only not declined but had become increasingly prosperous.

Firstly, Sect Master Wang had made another breakthrough in cultivation in recent years, entering the mid-stage Core Formation. With higher cultivation and stronger strength, the sect’s status had also risen accordingly, and many more forces were willing to befriend the Miaoyin Sect.

Secondly, the young sect master, Wang Ning, was also preparing to condense her Golden Core.

She had already reached the Pseudo-Core stage. Moreover,

she had gained the reputation of “Purple Spirit Fairy” in the outside world.

However, she was not the “Number One Beauty of the Chaotic Star Sea,” but rather one of the top ten beauties in the Chaotic Star Sea.

First, it was Wen Qing, one of the Twin Saints of the Heavenly Stars.

Second, it was Madam Wen.

Fourth, it was an elder from Night Dragon Island at the mid-stage of Core Formation.

Sixth, it was Wan Qian, a late-stage Core Formation female disciple under Wan Tianming, the head of the Myriad Laws Sect. Eighth,   it was

a female cultivator at the early stage of Core Formation from the Golden Lotus Sect, one of the major righteous sects. This woman was named Long Jinlian, the granddaughter of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator surnamed Long, and was considered   exceptionally beautiful within the Golden Lotus Sect. Only ninth was Zi Ling. Tenth was a portrait of Yuan Yao during her Qi Refining stage. It’s unclear how the Myriad Sounds Sect collected it, but the portrait undeniably showcased her beauty.   This is one reason why Yuan Yao has become increasingly reclusive and low-key in recent years.   While the Myriad Sounds Sect didn’t openly participate in the selection of the top ten beauties of the Chaotic Star Sea, they secretly played a significant role. They flattered the Star Palace without offending the Holy Demon Island, giving face to the Six Paths Supreme Saints and Madam Wen,   and minimizing Zi Ling’s presence as much as possible.   To make Zi Ling’s beauty less prominent, they even manipulated public opinion, praising her innate allure while subtly mocking why a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like Zi Ling deserved a place on the list of the Ten Beauties of the Chaotic Star Sea. In   short, they ensured that someone from the Miaoyin Sect could be in the top ten, but in a less conspicuous way.   The mother and daughter of the Miaoyin Sect were truly painstaking in their plans for their futures.   ”Her cultivation isn’t slow,”   Han Li, having inquired about the Miaoyin Sect’s recent situation, narrowed his eyes slightly.   ”However, Sect Master Wang’s advancement wasn’t solely due to the Miaoyin Sect’s resources.”   ”It seems that some of those cultivation resources were used by Wang Ning’s mother.”   Otherwise, Sect Master Wang’s cultivation would have been far too rapid to reach the mid-stage of the Core Formation realm in just thirty years.   It’s unclear whether this distribution of resources was due to the mother’s good intentions or Wang Ning’s act of filial piety or a gesture of humility for the greater good.   Furthermore,   the Miaoyin Sect recruited three additional Core Formation stage rogue cultivators as guest elders.   The benefits are truly excellent: an annual procurement allowance of 300 spirit stones and 200 spirit stones. This allowance is similar to a shopping voucher; once accumulated, the Myriad Sounds Sect will purchase certain supplies on their behalf.   In other words, in addition to a fixed salary of 300 spirit stones, there’s also an annual bonus of 200. Furthermore, they can utilize the Myriad Sounds Sect’s extensive network and procurement channels. It can be said that this welfare package is almost comparable to the benefits enjoyed by high-level cultivators in many other major powers. Crucially, there’s no Nascent Soul stage elder overseeing them, allowing for continued freedom.   This system is a welfare adjustment made by the Myriad Sounds Sect based on the incident involving the young master of the Qingyang Sect.   It’s intended to prevent guest elders from shirking their duties in unforeseen circumstances.   It also effectively retains the loyalty of a Core Formation cultivator.   After all,   if the procurement allowance accumulates to several thousand or even tens of thousands of spirit stones, and the guest elders fail to contribute when the Myriad Sounds Sect faces a crisis, who will honor this procurement allowance?   ”It seems that the mother and daughter from the Miaoyin Sect have learned their lesson with this adjustment to sect benefits.”   …   Upon arriving at the Miaoyin Pavilion, run by the Miaoyin Sect, Han Li looked at a female cultivator in charge of welcoming guests:   ”Go tell your young master that an old friend has come to visit.”   The “old friend” naturally referred to someone with whom a story had occurred.   A short while later, a female cultivator in green palace attire, whose face was obscured, quickly approached. Upon seeing Han Li’s mid-stage Core Formation cultivation, she bowed first.   ”Senior, the young master invites you.”   Han Li nodded slightly.   Led by the female cultivator in green palace attire, Han Li quickly entered a separate pavilion deep within the Miaoyin Pavilion.   This pavilion had only three small floors.   At this moment,   melodious zither music was emanating from the third floor.   Clearly, someone was playing the zither.   A sweep of his divine sense revealed a beautiful young woman dressed in purple with a light veil covering her face.   ”Senior, please come upstairs.”   The female cultivator in green palace attire who had led the way said goodbye.   ”Mm.”   Han Li nodded and entered the pavilion, going up to the third floor. She then chose a seat behind a curtain, and only then did a languid, soft voice come from within:   ”Senior mentioned having an old acquaintance with me, but I have never met you before. How can you say we are old friends? Please enlighten me, Senior.”   Han Li didn’t explain further, but calmly took out a veil, a rare treasure, to cover his face.   ”It’s you?”   The music abruptly stopped, and the girl behind the curtain stood up abruptly.   She then lifted the curtain and quickly stepped out.   Their eyes met, and after looking him up and down, the girl was taken aback by Han Li’s unremarkable appearance.   (End of Chapter)
