A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 15

Chapter 15 The Blinking Sword Technique and Luo Yan Step

“I just want you to make two copies of the manuals I need. Two copies are enough. It’s not difficult.”

Indeed.

Simply memorizing them and then making a copy later is very discreet and unlikely to be discovered by the Seven Mysteries Sect’s higher-ups.

“Besides, I didn’t say you had to produce all the manuals in the next day or two.”

That would be asking too much.

“Which two techniques do you want?”

Li Feiyu had already relented.

Whether out of consideration for their mutual relationship or out of guilt for Han Li’s many acts of kindness and his lack of substantial return, he decided to take the risk.

Moreover, the risk was indeed not high.

“For now, I only need the Blinking Sword Technique and the Luo Yan Step. Later, I also need the Soft Bone Technique, the Breath Concealment Technique, the Concealment Technique, and assassination techniques.”

The Blinking Sword Technique is a sword technique that can be practiced and used without internal energy, suitable for those without internal strength but with keen senses.

Those with internal energy cannot practice it.

The Luo Yan Step, once mastered, allows one to move with ghostly speed, making it difficult for opponents to catch their movements.

In the book, these two techniques were tailor-made for him.

Crucially, he learned them incredibly quickly in the book, mastering them in just four or five months. Even after he begins cultivating immortality, they will still be useful.

The other complete sets of martial arts were also mastered within four months.

They are all very suitable for him now.

After all, he, the author, knew the general outline of the secret manuals he had set for the original owner of this body.

In the book, he only had a little over four months to practice these martial arts.

Now, he has far more time ahead of schedule.

With more time, more investment, and more focus, he doesn’t believe he can’t do even better than in the book!

“Just these few techniques?”

“Yes, just these few techniques.” That’s enough.

“Okay, you wait.”

Li Feiyu acted decisively, turning and leaving immediately.

Seeing this, Han Li immediately waved goodbye with a grin: “Senior Brother Li, if you get caught red-handed borrowing the manual, don’t give me away…”

Senior Brother Li, who had been moving quickly using his lightness skill, stumbled in mid-air and almost fell into the bushes he had to pass through on both occasions.

Damn it, what a bad friend!

“Don’t worry, if I get caught, I’ll definitely expose you, you bastard.”

A grumpy voice came from the bushes.

Senior Brother Li’s figure had already disappeared.

…

Stealing the manual was undoubtedly Han Li’s purpose in befriending Li Feiyu.

If it were inner disciples like Wang Dapang, no matter how much Han Li tried to befriend them or how much he used benefits to bind them, they wouldn’t risk their lives for him.

This is the difference between people.

“Han Li, isn’t stealing a manual a bad idea?”

Zhang Tie asked worriedly from the side.

In his opinion, having the Elephant Armor Skill was enough; learning other martial arts was like biting off more than you can chew.

“Brother Zhang, I’m doing this for our own good,”

Han Li said helplessly.

If they didn’t take advantage of Doctor Mo’s absence to strengthen themselves as much as possible, were they going to wait until they were completely at the mercy of others before struggling to survive?

Don’t be too honest.

In any era, honest people need luck and opportunity to live well.

If they don’t encounter a benefactor, they generally won’t live well.

…

A few days later.

A large bag of “Blinking Sword Techniques” was brought out of the library by Senior Brother Li.

Luckily, it was just one of those dusty books in the corner of the library, unvalued and inconspicuous, otherwise, things might have gone wrong.

“Why did you bring so many manuals at once?” Han Li looked at Li Feiyu with a headache.

“The Blinking Sword Techniques you wanted, these are all of them, a total of seventy-four volumes.”

The Blinking Sword Techniques wasn’t a single cultivation manual, but a hodgepodge, which was the main reason why no one in the Seven Mysteries Sect had mastered it for so many years.

“I know these are all blinking sword techniques, but can’t you bring them out in threes and fives at a time? Don’t you understand the importance of gradual progression?” Han Li rubbed his temples.

“Don’t worry, no one will care about these dusty manuals gathering dust in a corner,” Li Feiyu said nonchalantly.

“Fine, if you’re not afraid, then I’m not afraid either.”

Even if this guy gets caught, he won’t die, and he certainly won’t betray him. The higher-ups of the Seven Mysteries Sect wouldn’t be so heartless as to cripple their own top student of the new generation for these worthless pieces of paper gathering dust in a corner. At most, they’d give a warning and other punishments.

Besides, Li Feiyu is now Elder Ma’s personal disciple, and that elder is known for his biased and protective nature. Do they really think they can cripple their “exceptionally talented” disciple over something so trivial? Which old bastard is trying to settle a personal score?

“Hehe…”

Senior Brother Li is doing much better now than in the book.

Han Li, seeing that smiling face, was truly annoyed: “What the hell are you ‘hey’ for? If you’re so careless with small things, how will you ever accomplish anything big?”

“By the way, don’t rush off. I’ll give you a favor…”

Friendship is friendship, and self-interest is self-interest.

Friendship tempered with self-interest lasts longer.

“A favor? What favor could you possibly give me?” Li Feiyu said dismissively.

“The head chef is a spy planted by the Wild Wolf Gang. Isn’t that a big favor? You just need to follow the trail…”

“Good brother.”

“But you’d better not touch him now,” Han Li advised.

“Why?” Li Feiyu raised an eyebrow.

“Keeping someone who knows he’s a spy around allows you to mislead him and indirectly control many things. But if you directly eliminate that manager, the Wild Wolf Gang will still plant other spies, and then many things won’t be so easy to control.”

Taking the initiative is crucial.

“Keeping it might be more useful…!”

“Alright, whatever you say.”

Han Li’s brain has always been sharper than his.

Otherwise, he’d probably still be stuck in some backwater, swallowing his pride, and might not have achieved his current success, even being taken in as a personal disciple by Elder Ma.

“I’m going back now.”

Li Feiyu stood up and clapped his hands.

“Okay.” Han Li nodded first, then brought up something else: “Um, remember those little things I asked you to have made a few times a while ago…”

“I know, I know, I won’t forget. I’ll definitely get them done for you within a month.”

From then on ,

the Blink Sword Technique was complete.

In the following half month, the Luo Yan Step and its accompanying techniques, such as the Soft Bone Skill and the Breath Concealing Skill, also arrived.

With both sword and movement techniques in hand, only the Wind Control Technique and the top-tier magic weapon, the Cloud-Stepping Boots, were missing.

This set of techniques was what he was still using when he reached the Foundation Establishment stage. When fighting the ice demons under the Yue Emperor’s command, his speed was not inferior.

“I just wonder when Mo Juren will return…”

In the book, Han Li only spent four or five months to quickly master these techniques. Now, he has more time, and therefore a greater chance of reaching a higher level.

Hopefully, Doctor Mo will return later.

In a large wooden tub a meter deep, Han Li was immersed in warm medicinal liquid.

Here, it must be said: Doctor Mo is a good teacher.

When he left, he left behind all the medicinal herbs on his body and taught Han Li how to prepare medicinal liquid and how to make full use of these precious herbs. It was precisely because of these spiritual herbs that his Everlasting Spring Technique, although progressing slowly, was still making progress. Without these precious herbs,

his cultivation progress would have stagnated long ago.

“It seems I still need to find a way to get some spiritual herbs…”

Time

flies like an arrow, and more than three months have passed in a flash.

At this time, Li Feiyu, Zhang Tie, and Han Li have all turned thirteen years old.

Calculating the time, in another month or two, the latter two will have been disciples for three years.

Beneath the Chishui Peak Waterfall, three figures sat cross-legged, enduring the powerful cascade of the water.

Just as the sound of birds taking flight echoed through the forest, Han Li suddenly asked Li Feiyu,

“Has the Flying Bird Hall within the sect managed to find any news about Master Mo in the martial world?”

The Flying Bird Hall was the intelligence department of the Seven Mysteries Sect, responsible for gathering intelligence.

After Li Feiyu improved his martial arts foundation through practicing the Elephant Armor Technique, he caught the eye of Elder Ma and became his personal disciple. He had frequently interacted with the upper echelons of the Seven Mysteries

Sect. Out of respect for Li Feiyu, and given his rising popularity, many of the older, already-adult senior brothers in the Flying Bird Hall would offer him favors.

“No news of Doctor Mo.” Li Feiyu opened her eyes and looked, then shook her head. “Actually, Sect Leader Wang and my master also instructed the Flying Bird Hall to keep a close eye on Doctor Mo’s whereabouts, but Doctor Mo has disappeared without a trace since he went down the mountain, and has vanished without a trace these past few months. Perhaps he went into some deep mountain to dig for herbs?”

“After all, precious herbs are hard to find near towns, and are priceless.”

“But there are still many spiritual herbs that have not yet been discovered in the deep mountains and marshes.”

“According to the elders in the sect, some deep mountains and marshes not only have rare and precious natural treasures, but even immortals

are said to roam there…” Li Feiyu spoke in a mysterious tone.

Zhang Tie shook his head in disbelief.

Han Li, however, nodded secretly.

“Master Mo may indeed have gone to gather herbs, but you should still keep a close eye on things for me, and let me know immediately if there is any news.”

“No problem, no problem.”

Li Feiyu readily agreed.

After finishing their practice,

Han Li and Zhang Tie followed the familiar path straight to Divine Hand Valley.

Along the way, Zhang Tie wanted to quicken his pace, but Han Li’s steps remained slow.

Because his junior brother was “dragging him down,” he couldn’t walk fast.

“Li, you always walk these paths so slowly, like you’re searching for something. Did you lose something important while walking these paths before?” Zhang Tie pondered for a long time before finally speaking up.

“Yes, I did lose a very precious little bottle.”

Han Li didn’t shy away from the topic.

“What kind?”

“Dark green, long and slender neck, about the size of a fist. By the way, Brother Zhang, if you find it, you must return it to me.”

Han Li said half-jokingly.

“It’s just a bottle, what could be so precious about it? If I find it, I’ll definitely give it to you.” Zhang Tie didn’t seem to care at all.

…

The two returned to their valley dwelling.

Han Li first tended to the medicinal fields cultivated by Doctor Mo.

It’s worth mentioning that the medicinal herbs in Doctor Mo’s fields were of very high quality.

This includes the main ingredients and supplementary medicines of the spiritual herbs needed to refine “Yellow Dragon Pill,” “Golden Marrow Pill,” “Clear Spirit Powder,” and “Nourishing Essence Pill.”

Both the Yellow Dragon Pill and the Golden Marrow Pill are elixirs that can increase cultivation and help mortals undergo a complete transformation.

However, they are not formulas developed by cultivators,

but rather created by a mortal pharmacist in the secular world after decades of dedicated effort.
