A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 169

Chapter 167 In a Great Mood (2k Extra Chapter)

Han Li didn’t have to wait long before two streaks of light rapidly approached from the direction of the Falling Cloud Sect.

“Junior Sister?”

The newcomers were Song Yu and another unfamiliar female cultivator.

He scanned the surrounding three hundred miles with his divine sense, finding nothing unusual. He remained outwardly calm, but inwardly vigilant. His divine sense remained fully extended and unretracted.

“Fourth Senior Brother.”

The two women bowed to him upon arrival.

Han Li was taken aback for a moment, then immediately realized:

“So it’s Fifth Junior Sister.”

This woman was a descendant of Master Mu Li.

Master Hong Fu had taken her in and cared for her greatly, also out of respect for Master Mu Li.

“Junior Sister, where is Master?”

“Master is discussing matters with Elder Cheng and Elder Lü in the council hall. I’m handling the transaction on your behalf,”

Song Yu said, smoothing her hair.

After the two women sat down, Han Li immediately poured them hot tea.

One didn’t touch it, but instead curiously observed them. The other couldn’t resist picking up her teacup, then puffing out her cheeks slightly and gently blowing on it…

Han Li smiled in response.

“Junior sisters, are the seniors of the Luo Yun Sect satisfied with what I brought out? Would they be willing to exchange it for those few Spirit-Stabilizing Pills?”

Upon hearing this, Song Yu took out a pill bottle, several jade slips, and a token.

She first handed over the pill bottle and jade slips:

“Senior Uncle Cheng and Senior Uncle Lü are very satisfied with the supplies you brought out, and have agreed to the transaction.”

“And this token…”

“The two senior uncles and Master mean that they hope you will have a nominal position in the Luo Yun Sect, even if it’s just a nominal guest elder.”

“Don’t worry, senior brother, it’s just a nominal position; we won’t force you to do anything for the Luo Yun Sect.”

In the blink of an eye, the token floated in front of him, following closely behind the pill bottle and jade slips.

“Those two are so agreeable?”

Han Li thought to himself.

This situation greatly surprised him.

As for the guest elder…?

Han Li initially wanted to refuse.

Too many concerns might not be a good thing.

But the thought of having another sect meant having more options, and seeing the expectant looks in his two junior sisters’ eyes, he finally nodded:

“Alright, I’ll accept the guest elder position.”

Han Li stood up, preparing to leave.

“Wait, senior brother.”

“Junior sister, is there anything else?”

Han Li turned back.

Inside the pill bottle were the four Spirit-Stabilizing Pills he needed.

The jade slip contained both the recipe for preparing Mingqing Spirit Water and several ancient pill formulas.

He had what he needed, and it wasn’t wise to linger here.

“Senior brother, these are gifts from Senior Uncle Cheng and Senior Uncle Lü, given to you as a welcoming gift for joining the sect as a guest elder.”

As she spoke, seven or eight jade boxes with sealing talismans flew out.

Han Li casually opened three of them and glanced inside, his eyelids twitching involuntarily.

The reason was simple.

Inside the jade boxes were precious spiritual materials.

There were thousand-year-old spiritual flowers.

There were thousand-year-old spiritual fruits.

Thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, enough to rival a level six demon core.

“These are all auxiliary spiritual herbs needed to prepare the Mingqing Spiritual Water. Senior Brother might not be able to find them outside, and even if he could, it would take considerable effort. Your two senior uncles have prepared some raw materials for you. This is their kind gesture, so please don’t refuse.”

Song Yu stated bluntly, leaving Han Li speechless.

She clearly didn’t want to take advantage of him.

And these thousand-year-old spiritual herbs were given away so easily.

This sect with its thousands of years of history truly had a profound foundation.

Cheng and Lü were indeed quite capable Nascent Soul cultivators.

“Then, thank you very much, Senior Uncles.”

Han Li didn’t stand on ceremony and readily accepted the gifts. He

then looked at the two women, clasped his hands in a salute:

“Later, I would trouble you two junior sisters to convey my message that I will personally visit to express my gratitude in a few decades.”

“Senior Brother is too kind.”

The two women returned the salute.

Just as Han Li was about to leave,

“Wait, Senior Brother.”

“Junior Sister…”

“Don’t be so serene and aloof.

Can’t you just say what you have to say?”

Han Li, who had just turned to leave, turned back.

Their eyes met, and the elegant and refined Song Yu blinked innocently. She then reached into her storage bag and took out several jade slips, handing them over.

“What’s this?”

“Senior brother, these are several ancient pill formulas, including the Crimson Cloud Pill, which my Song family possesses. Senior brother can take a look; perhaps they can be of some help to your future cultivation.”

“Ancient pill formulas? Junior sister, why are you giving me these?”

Han Li was a little puzzled after examining the jade slips.

His generous investment in this woman was, to some extent, to obtain these ancient pill formulas possessed by the Song family, one of the foundational families of the Falling Cloud Sect.

Originally, he planned to ask for them later when their relationship was more familiar.

Song Yu bowed gracefully:

“I have received so many benefits from senior brother, so naturally I must repay you.”

She had been unable to find a suitable opportunity or offer anything appropriate.

It wasn’t until she learned from her master that her senior brother had asked the sect for ancient pill formulas that she was finally enlightened and thought of using ancient pill formulas as a small return gift.

“Junior sister’s kindness is appreciated, so I, your senior brother, will not refuse.”

Han Li carefully put away the ancient pill formulas, showing no affectation whatsoever.

Regardless of whether he could find the Spirit Garden in the Fallen Demon Valley later, getting more ancient pill formulas was definitely the right thing to do.

Afterwards, he would try to collect more ancient pill formulas and ancient books.

In short, it was better to be prepared.

“Junior sisters, is there anything else?”

Han Li suddenly asked before leaving. This

made the two women smile.

“Junior sister, these few Spirit Stabilizing Pills are very useful to me. How about I give you yours later?”

“Senior brother, I’m not in a hurry.”

“Then… please help me give this storage bag to my master!”

Inside the high-level storage bag, which was protected by a restriction, were more than a dozen ten-thousand-year-old fire-attribute spiritual herbs!

And some thousand-year-old fire-attribute spiritual herbs!

These herbs were of little use to him, who mainly cultivated wood-attribute techniques, or more accurately, they didn’t significantly improve his cultivation. But for his Nascent Soul stage master, Hong Fu, they were extremely useful.

Using these ten-thousand-year-old herbs as the main ingredient, combined with some thousand-year-old herbs as auxiliary ingredients, he could refine two or three batches of Fire Essence Pills. For

mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivators using fire-attribute techniques, consuming them would greatly increase their mana.

They were most suitable for mid-Nascent

Soul stage cultivators. Even late-Nascent Soul stage cultivators would find them effective.

Early-Nascent Soul stage cultivators might even waste some of the medicinal properties.

If he used these herbs well, perhaps in a hundred years, his master could reach the mid-Nascent Soul stage? A

mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator not yet six hundred years old wasn’t necessarily incapable of reaching the late-Nascent Soul stage!

“Master, don’t disappoint me.”

The Luo Yun Sect had given him seven or eight thousand-year-old spiritual items, exceeding the standard of a transaction, as a gesture of goodwill. He couldn’t just offer some low-quality thousand-year-old herbs as a token gesture.

Besides,

as far as he knew…

Lu Luo primarily cultivates water-attribute techniques.

Cheng Tiankun’s technique is said to be earth-attribute.

Neither of them needs fire-attribute techniques, so it’s perfect for Master.

…

He flew away, quickly disappearing into the distance.

In the Gale Layer, looking at the bottle containing four Spirit-Stabilizing Pills, then at the jade slip for refining the Bright and Clear Spirit Water, and the seven or eight jade boxes of various sizes, and finally at several ancient pill formulas, Han Li smiled with satisfaction.

This Luo Yun Sect is still worth befriending.

“Human hearts shouldn’t be tested, but Master could participate in and provide some assistance with some of my plans…”

In terms of cultivation, the higher the better.

In terms of strength, the stronger the better.

The Noble Bird Cave, the Cang Kun Cave, the Fallen Demon Valley—he wasn’t sure if he could cultivate to the mid-Nascent Soul stage by then. In this situation, having a more powerful Master Hong Fu by his side would greatly increase his chances of monopolizing all the benefits.

…

Luo Yun Sect. Hong Fu, having used   his

Nascent Soul level magic to break the restriction on the high-grade storage bag, stared in silence at the large quantity of fire-attribute spiritual herbs and medicines inside. Cheng Tiankun and Lü Luo leaned closer for a look, their hands trembling so much they nearly pulled out their beards.   ”Hiss…!”   They had been thinking of bringing Han Li into the sect and raising him like their own son.   Now it seemed they were the ones who needed to be cared for…   　I added 800 words to the previous chapter. Those interested can take a look later. I wrote too late last night and posted it this morning without time to adjust. Some parts weren’t clear, my fault.   　　Please forgive me.   　　Waaah.   　　Staying up late is so hard.   (End of Chapter)
