A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 167

Chapter 165 Master and Disciple Meet

leaving behind a sum of spirit stones and some supplies as compensation, Han Li fled.

This 160-170 year old early-stage Core Formation cultivator from the Lan family wasn’t exceptionally talented, and with his soul injured, he was unlikely to ever reach the Nascent Soul

stage. However, the resources he provided were enough for the Lan family to cultivate another Core Formation cultivator. If they could find a Soul-Nourishing Wood to nurture him for over a decade, the injuries from the forced soul search could be healed.

Normally, killing him to silence him would be the simplest and easiest solution.

He could even get a Core Formation cultivator’s storage bag for free.

However,

he ultimately didn’t become the kind of person he once feared most.

The dragon slayer hadn’t completely become the dragon.

Perhaps, this was just sentimentality.

…

He continued north.

He arrived in the Xi Kingdom again and entered the Ten Thousand Mile Cloud Dream Mountain.

This time, Han Li appeared in his true form.

A pseudo-spiritual root, over 150 years old, yet possessing the cultivation of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator. Such an inconceivable cultivation speed was enough to cause a sensation.

“Judging by the time, it seems like it’s almost time for Junior Sister to return to the Song family’s territory again in the next month?”

Outside the mountain.

He didn’t wait long.

Two streaks of light approached the area where he had stumbled years ago from the direction of the Luoyun Sect’s mountain gate.

One person rode a huge white bird that was over ten feet long. The other person rode a magical ribbon.

The two streaks of light were the two women from the Song family.

The two were chatting and laughing.

But then, their smiles froze.

It was because a familiar feeling of unease surfaced in their hearts.

Then, before the two women could react, they felt as if they were sinking into a quagmire. The huge white bird was flapping its wings wildly as if it were drunk, swaying left and right, making the beautiful figures on its back struggle to maintain their balance.

“What’s going on?”

“Why does this feeling feel so familiar?”

The next moment, a pagoda burst from the ground.

Upon seeing the pagoda, the two women’s beautiful eyes widened instantly:

“The Qiankun Pagoda!”

“It’s the Qiankun Pagoda’s talisman.”

“Could it be…”

Just as the two were about to ask their sect for help, the domain rapidly dissipated, and the oppressive Qiankun Pagoda transformed into a golden talisman.

The talisman then floated into the hand of a figure that appeared out of thin air:

“Junior Sister, we meet again.”

The two women turned to look, and before them stood a young man of unremarkable appearance.

“Fourth Senior Brother, is it really you?”

The more stunning of the two women asked in surprise.

She recognized Han Li at a glance.

Han Li returned the greeting with a friendly smile:

“Junior Sister, I had no choice but to greet you in this way. Please forgive me.”

He was sincere and his tone was amiable. His simple greeting immediately eased the tension in the hearts of the two Song family members.

“Senior brother, Master has missed you terribly these past years, and Senior Sisters Xiuting and Xiulan have also been thinking of you.”

The stunningly beautiful young woman bowed formally.

Han Li returned the bow, his smile becoming even more gentle.

“More than a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. It’s been more than a hundred years since I last saw Master and my senior sisters.”

He sighed at this.

“By the way, junior sister, take this.”

As Han Li spoke, he flicked his finger, and the Qiankun Tower talisman appeared before Song Yu:

“Congratulations, junior sister, on successfully forming your core. Consider this talisman, which can still be used two or three times, a formal gift from your senior brother.”

“Senior brother, you mustn’t.”

Song Yu waved her hand,

“Back then, you already gave me enough benefits. I’m grateful for your generous gift back then; otherwise, I would have needed at least another ten years to form my core.”

The large amount of precious pills, three high-grade spirit stones, and other cultivation resources nearly doubled the cultivation speed of her Heavenly Spirit Root.

This was without using any high-grade spirit stones.

High-grade spirit stones are extremely rare and precious, with numerous and immense uses.

It would be a real waste to waste them on the Core Formation stage, where there are no bottlenecks yet.

Therefore, she temporarily saved the three high-grade spirit stones, intending to use them when navigating the minor hurdles between the early and mid-stages of Core Formation.

Besides pills and spirit stones, the high-grade demon cores also greatly helped her.

For example, the fifth-tier white bird beneath her, named “White Phoenix,” was able to advance further in a short time thanks to those high-grade demon cores.

In particular, one of the sixth-tier demon cores was perfectly suited for White Phoenix to consume and absorb.

Sure enough,

a little over a year ago, it advanced from the fourth tier to the fifth tier,

giving her a powerful boost of the same level as soon as she entered the Core Formation stage.

The name “White Phoenix Fairy” thus became even more renowned.

As for the Spirit-Stabilizing Pill?

Not to mention that her senior brother promised to give her one.

Even if he didn’t, she had already made a huge profit.

High-grade spirit stones are priceless; one or two thousand mid-grade spirit stones might not even be enough to buy one. The seemingly precious Spirit-Stabilizing Pill wasn’t indispensable to her. Given her situation, obtaining another one from the sect wouldn’t be difficult.

After all, her sect was the Luoyun Sect, renowned for its Spirit-Stabilizing Pill refining technology in Yunmeng Mountain.

“So, Senior Brother, you absolutely mustn’t…”

She couldn’t accept this Qiankun Tower talisman.

Han Li, however, enthusiastically insisted:

“Take it. I don’t lack such methods. But it’s perfect for you, Junior Sister. It’ll be fine for dealing with some Core Formation stage villains.”

The Qiankun Tower talisman was only equivalent to the power of the late Core Formation stage.

It wouldn’t catch the eye of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

He had only used it to farm small monsters over the years.

Keeping it wouldn’t be of much use. Giving it to Song Yu would not only be useful but also bring them closer and increase their goodwill.

Of course, he didn’t have any intention of possessing this woman. He simply thought highly of this Junior Sister.

If the Hongying Mountain lineage could have another Nascent Soul cultivator, it would be a good story.

If he could gain another junior sister with the potential to enter the Nascent Soul stage, and if this junior sister could maintain a good impression of him and hold a certain degree of goodwill and affection for him, it would be a small investment with a big return.

In short ,

having another Nascent Soul stage friend is definitely not a loss.

He can’t say for sure about other things, but sometimes it’s enough to stand up for him and boost his morale.

Besides, he also has things he needs to obtain from Song Yu.

Song Yu felt the care from her senior brother, which warmed her heart.

Although she was the most valued Core Formation stage cultivator in the sect with her Heavenly Spiritual Root talent, and the youngest Core Formation stage cultivator, she had received a lot of gifts over the years. But not many of them were truly what she needed.

Only this senior brother was considerate in every way.

The key is that when she observed this senior brother with “Clear and Bright Insight,” she only saw sincerity and openness. His deep eyes were always clear and clean, completely different from the other male cultivators who always wanted to take advantage of her.

“Fourth Senior Brother, do you have any other instructions?”

After smoothing her hair to reveal her elegant and refined face, she didn’t refuse again and accepted the talisman amidst the envious gazes of her clan aunts.

“Contact Master for me. I’ll wait for her in Qing Shi City, three thousand miles outside Yunmeng Mountain, for a few days.”

“That’s all?”

“Junior Sister, if you can convey my message, that’s enough.”

“Alright, Senior Brother, please wait a moment.”

Song Yu pulled her clan aunt back towards the Luo Yun Sect’s mountain gate.

Han Li headed out of Yunmeng Mountain.

Two days later.

Ten miles outside Qing Shi City, on the summit of a thousand-foot mountain, master and disciple finally met.

“Han Li?”

Hong Fu, dressed in red, was still as dashing as ever.

“Master, is everything alright?”

Han Li took a deep breath and bowed respectfully.

“Good, all is well. It’s you… so good.”

She’s really alive, so good.

Brothers, give me your votes! Please!
