A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 159

Chapter 157 Long Time No See, I Miss You So Much

“Miss Xin, it’s been a long time.”

Outside the array of the old residence, Han Li met Xin Ruyin and her servant.

“Senior Han.”

The two women bowed to Han Li in unison.

Behind them were the descendants of Li Feiyu and the young girl from the Han family.

More than ten years had passed, and both had embarked on the path of immortality. However, even with the occasional help of pills provided by Xin Ruyin and Xiao Mei, their cultivation was only at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining.

The little girl from the Han family had now grown into a graceful young woman.

“Greetings, Ancestor.”

The two young girls bowed respectfully along with Xin Ruyin and her servant.

Their eyes held both doubt and awe for a Core Formation expert.

“Miss Xin is too kind. Xiao Mei, you don’t need to be so polite.”

Han Li, appearing only in his Core Formation form, flicked his sleeve and used his magic to lift the two women up.

He then glanced gently at the Li and Han families before withdrawing his gaze.

“Miss Xin, your cultivation has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, only one step away from the Pseudo-Core Formation realm. It seems you’ve chosen a very reliable backer.”

Han Li’s casual remark was both a test and an expression of admiration.

Xin Ruyin bowed deeply again:

“Thank you for your guidance and recommendation back then, Senior. I am also grateful for the many bottles of precious pills you bestowed upon me. If it weren’t for your care, I would have long since turned to dust.”   The three people present were deeply moved

by this .   If Han Li hadn’t pointed out the more specific threat posed by the Dragon Roar Body, Xin Ruyin would have inevitably pursued cultivation like a moth drawn to a flame, causing her meridians to shrink and damaging her very foundation. She wouldn’t have survived past thirty years old; her dantian would have withered, her vital energy depleted, and she would have died.   Afterwards, without those precious Ice Mountain Snow Lotuses, some seven or eight hundred years old, Xin Ruyin wouldn’t have reached the eleventh or twelfth level of Qi Refining before her body withered and decayed due to uncontrolled true energy.   And then, without those crucial Foundation Establishment Pills, Xin Ruyin would have been unable to establish her foundation.   Without Foundation Establishment, there’s no way to cleanse the marrow and achieve longevity, so naturally, she wouldn’t be where she is now.   Furthermore, without his guidance to join the Hehuan Sect and the connection to his senior sister Dong Xuan’er, she wouldn’t have enjoyed the status of a disciple of the Old Demon Yunlu, and therefore wouldn’t have been able to obtain the Old Demon Yunlu’s Yin-Yang Integration Technique to harmonize her Dragon Roar Qi. Without the Old Demon Yunlu occasionally using his Nascent Soul Yin Qi to help her regulate her Yin and Yang, and without the Hehuan Sect’s techniques to balance her Yin and Yang, this girl would at most be barely surviving in the early Foundation Establishment stage, and would never have reached her current late Foundation Establishment stage. That   ’s right.   Xin Ruyin not only lived a completely new life,   but she also joined the Hehuan Sect, becoming a disciple of the Old Demon Yunlu, and is now friends and fellow disciples with Dong Xuan’er.   Dong Xuan’er lacks a foundation in the Hehuan Sect, while the intelligent and perceptive Xin Ruyin, who can seize opportunities, provides a strong support and assistance.   Yunlu seems happy to have the two women helping each other.   As for Qi Yunxiao?   He died in an accident.   Of course, it could have been a simple accident, or it could have been intentional on someone’s part.   Because Xin Ruyin had become Yunlu’s disciple and had a good relationship with Dong Xuan’er, she was considered to have impeccable lineage and was rising in status. Many high-level cultivators of the Hehuan Sect naturally wouldn’t let go of such a promising young woman.   Qi Yunxiao’s “entanglement” seemed particularly irritating.   Therefore, Qi Yunxiao’s accident could have been a genuine accident, or it could have been the work of those high-level cultivators, eliminating their most powerful rival! Or perhaps there was some other reason…   Han Li didn’t ask about the cause of Qi Yunxiao’s death; that wasn’t his concern.   He simply felt sorry for Qi Yunxiao.   After all, he had worked so hard for so long, almost finding a solution to the problem of the person he admired, and was about to reap the rewards of his efforts, but the price was his own life.   Was it worth it?   Xin Ruyin didn’t mention Qi Yunxiao either.   Because she kept some things in her mind, remembering them very clearly.   She didn’t need to bring them up in public.   Xiao Mei would never dare to gossip about her young mistress.   ”Miss Xin, I’ve come to trouble you with something. Could you please do me a favor?”   Han Li asked politely.   ”Senior, I will do whatever is within my power,”   Xin Ruyin replied solemnly.   She remembered every single favor—the life-saving grace, the guidance, the rebirth—with perfect clarity.   More than ten years ago, after returning to her cave, she learned from Xiao Mei that this senior was still alive and wanted to repay him.   However, she didn’t know how to do so,   and she was also troubled by losing track of him again.   Now, she could finally repay him. As long as his request didn’t violate her principles or exceed her capabilities, she would do her best. Even if it was beyond her ability, she would grit her teeth and find a way to do it.   ”Miss Xin, there’s no need for that. Do you still remember the jade slip I left behind more than ten years ago?”   ”Senior, are you referring to a set of magical treasures forming a grand array?”   ”That’s right. Do you have any ideas, Miss?”   ”Senior, although Ruyin has some thoughts, due to her cultivation level, she only has a superficial understanding of the magical treasures used by Core Formation cultivators. I’m afraid we’ll have to wait until Ruyin forms her Core before we can give you a definite answer.”   ”Core Formation? I understand. With your current foundation and Ancestor Yunlu’s high regard for you, the chances of you forming your Core are quite high.”   As Yunlu’s disciple, and with the most outstanding talent in array formations, how could she not be valued?   Even if the Hehuan Sect were to throw resources at it, they would still make Xin Ruyin a Core Formation cultivator.

Before breaking through to the Core Formation stage, it’s likely that Yunlu wasn’t the only one protecting him.

“Miss, I have another matter…”

“Senior, please speak frankly.”

“My matter is very simple. I just need you to invite my Senior Sister Xuan’er. I want to see her, to see how she’s doing…”

Han Li unconsciously touched his nose as he spoke of his longing.

“That’s all?”

Xin Ruyin was taken aback.

“Yes, thank you for your trouble, Miss.”

“No trouble at all.”

How could this be considered trouble? It

was just a small favor.

Moreover, during her many casual conversations with Senior Sister Xuan’er, whenever the past of Red Tassel Mountain was mentioned, Senior Sister would always seem absent-minded.

At first, she only thought that Senior Sister missed the Red Dust Fairy.

But later, her senior sister met privately with the Red Dust Fairy who had successfully formed her Nascent Soul, and Senior Sister politely declined the Red Dust Fairy’s suggestion to take her to the Falling Cloud Sect.

Later still, two young masters from the Tian family, both at the Core Formation stage, extended dual cultivation invitations to Senior Sister Xuan’er. The Tian family offered a large amount of cultivation resources, and even a fortuitous opportunity to help Senior Sister Dong achieve Nascent Soul cultivation, if she was willing. However, Senior Sister Dong resolutely refused.

Afterwards, no matter which second or third-generation Nascent Soul cultivators from the Hehuan Sect came to propose marriage, Senior Sister Dong impatiently turned them away.

By then, how could she not understand that Senior Sister Dong already had someone in her heart?

Ninety-nine percent of the time, it was this Senior Han.

Senior Sister Xuan’er’s former fourth junior brother.

“Then, I, Han, will wait here for you for over a month,”

Han Li said, pointing to the cave dwelling outside the grand formation of her former residence, which had been there for over a hundred years .

“Senior, Ruyin’s bamboo house has spiritual tea and pastries. Why don’t we wait there for a while?”

Xin Ruyin pointed to her family’s former residence cave dwelling.

For over a hundred years, she had never set foot there even once.

This cautiousness was evident. This reverence for the unfamiliar was something she should learn from.

No wonder she was able to cultivate to the Core Formation stage.

If Brother Qi had been half as cautious as this senior, he wouldn’t have died so mysteriously.

…

Seven or eight days later.

Yue Kingdom.

The original location of the Hidden Moon Sect’s mountain gate.

Xin Ruyin arrived.

She first went to the Taiyue Mountain branch.

However, she didn’t see Dong Xuan’er there. She heard that the patriarch had summoned Senior Sister Dong here.

After entering the mountain gate and learning more carefully, she discovered that Ancestor Yunlu had learned that the cultivation world was currently in turmoil, so he had summoned Senior Sister Xuan’er back to his side to prevent her from suffering any accidents.

“Master really favors Senior Sister.”

It wasn’t envy, but her heart was somewhat complicated.

Because through open and covert investigations, some things pointed directly at her master, who had shown her great kindness.

Her heart was also in great turmoil because of this.

“Senior Sister, are you there?”

She knocked on the door of Senior Sister Xuan’er’s cave, and saw this increasingly charming and beautiful senior sister.

“Ruyin, were you summoned back by Master too?”

“No.”

“Then you…?”

Xin Ruyin didn’t say much, but handed over a puppet, a level four giant tiger puppet.

Upon seeing the puppet, Dong Xuan’er’s beautiful eyes widened, then she rushed forward, snatched it, and examined it closely.

A dozen breaths later, the beauty’s shoulders trembled slightly:

“It’s the work of the Dong family’s weapon-refining techniques…”

“Could it be him?”

Dong Xuan’er bit her lip, a fleeting hint of grievance before her eyes blazed with fury. Her teeth ground together.

Seeing this, Xin Ruyin quickly blinked and nodded slightly:

“Senior Han wants to see you, Senior Sister. He asked me to persuade you not to be angry. He had his reasons back then.”

“Hmph.”

That’s enough for tonight, it’s too late. Just trying to survive.

It’s very short, please forgive me.

My wife is urging me.

Brothers, give me all your monthly tickets and recommendation votes!
