A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 218

Chapter 214 Lessons Learned (Bonus Chapter 611)

Three months later, Han Li and his group arrived at Thunder Sky Island.

Thunder Sky Island, spanning thousands of miles, was enormous and home to several rare and precious spiritual herbs.

Intelligence provided by the Star Palace indicated that transformed demonic beasts had once roamed the island.

Han Li, upon arrival, first set foot on the island.

After exploring, he indeed discovered an eighth-level golden sea lion.

This golden sea lion had built its cave on a rocky beach near the sea in the southeast corner of the island.

The cave was backed by a mountain thousands of feet high.

With its mountain and sea views, the view was excellent.

“Afterwards, I will lure the snake out of its hole, then lure the tiger away from the mountain. Your task is to sneak into this golden sea lion’s cave and retrieve the companion demon herb, understand?”

Han Li said to the three women.

“Okay…”

“Understood.”

The three women nodded in unison.

Han Li did not tell the three women his purpose in collecting the companion demon herb.

He had already obtained the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng and the Agate Horn; only the companion demon herb was needed to refine the Nine-Bend Spirit Pill.

Therefore, even if they didn’t go to the Golden Sea Lion’s lair, they would still go to the sea area where the transformed Thunder Whale was discovered to find the other two transformed demonic beasts and obtain the companion herbs for transformed demonic cultivators.

The group had a clear division of labor, and the operation went relatively smoothly.

After obtaining the items, he quickly left the area with the women.

Then, they headed west.

He didn’t take the three women to Biling Island for seclusion, but instead went to another large island with good spiritual veins, which he named Meteor Island.

Meteor Island is roughly the shape of a thousand-mile-long pancake.

However, this pancake is not complete; the middle and one side near the edge are occupied by a huge lake hundreds of miles long, as if it had been eaten away. It’s as if a meteorite from outer space directly struck it, creating a huge crater, which was filled with lake water and groundwater countless years later.

This huge lake formed by the crater is separated from the sea by a mountain range.

The mountain range is over two thousand miles long, encircling the outermost edge of the island, surrounding the entire island like a high wall.

Between the mountain range and the lake is a basin plain.

“From now on, you will all cultivate in seclusion here,”

Han Li said.

“Here?”

“Yes, right here.”

The spiritual veins of this island are far superior to those of Kui Xing Island in the Inner Star Sea, only slightly inferior to the superior spiritual veins of Yunmeng Mountain.

Nearby, it’s second only to the spiritual vein of the cave dwelling of the level eight golden sea lion on Lei Kong Island.

Like Lei Kong Island, this island is located on the northern edge of the Chaotic Star Sea, more than 30 million li away from Silver Shark Island, far from trouble. It’s 4 million li away from Lei Kong Island, meaning it won’t be targeted by the transformed demon cultivators there. It’s about 3 million li away from Bi Ling Island, making it convenient for him to return.

Furthermore, Lei Kong Island, Bi Ling Island, and this Meteor Island form a perfect triangle.

With the help of the Twin-Pupil Rat, the group swiftly and accurately located the spiritual eye of the island’s spiritual vein.

“Open.”

With the power of the wolf-headed jade scepter, even Han Li, who wasn’t particularly skilled in earth-based magic, easily carved out a shallow pit several hundred feet deep at the location of the spiritual vein and spiritual eye.

He then buried the small spiritual eye spring he had obtained in the Void Heaven Palace garden area there.

As the spiritual eye spring unfurled, the spiritual energy within the cave instantly became abundant.

“This, husband.”

The two women took out the three spiritual eye stones from their container-shaped magic treasure and placed them there.

Since they wouldn’t be returning to their cave in Tianxing City for the time being, they naturally had to keep their valuables with them.

As for why they used a container-shaped magic treasure to preserve the spiritual eye stones, it was because such treasures could hold a large amount of pure spiritual energy. Using this pure spiritual energy, along with the high-grade demon core placed inside the treasure container, they could ensure the spiritual eye stones wouldn’t be damaged.

Even if the spiritual eye stones weren’t placed on the spiritual vein for a long time, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Furthermore, even spiritual eye trees could be easily transplanted by digging up the soil and roots together and then preserving them.

The biggest problem with transplanting the Spirit Eye Tree is that the roots are easily damaged during transplantation, causing the tree to wither and die. Furthermore, because it’s not relocated to a spiritual vein for a long time, the Spirit Eye Tree cannot absorb spiritual energy, resulting in a significant loss of vitality.

However, if it’s packaged in a container-like magical artifact along with a large area of soil, and filled with a large amount of pure spiritual energy, this problem can be largely avoided.

In short, this is based on experience

—experience he’s gained over the years.

Thus, several more Spirit Eye Stones were added to this cave.

With the addition of these stones, it’s expected that the quality of the spiritual energy here will soon rise to another level.

“I’ll leave you the magical artifact that contained the Spirit Eye Tree; you can cultivate here in peace,”

Han Li said with a smile.

He then handed over the Water-Fire Gourd.

Originally used to hold weapons of war, this magical artifact had unknowingly become a mobile abode.

Inside the gourd, the Spirit Eye Tree, dug from the Void Heaven Palace, though still somewhat withered, showed signs of improvement.

The Spirit Eye Spring could control the lifeline of a spiritual vein, gathering spiritual energy over a large area and slightly purifying it.

The Spirit Eye Stone could slightly gather spiritual energy, absorb and purify it, and then release even purer spiritual energy.

The Spirit Eye Tree primarily purified spiritual energy.

Combined, the spiritual energy quality of this cave was undoubtedly very high.

Moreover, Han Li had casually tossed out dozens of high-grade demon cores.

This scene left Gan Rushuang stunned.

In her memory, the ancestors of the Hidden Moon Sect had accumulated three relatively small Spirit Eye Stones over thousands of years. Those three Spirit Eye Stones were all held by the Grand Elder and had never fallen into the hands of someone like her, a Core Formation stage cultivator.

But Han Li, on the other hand, not only produced three pieces, but more importantly, they were enormous.

One piece was equivalent to the two largest pieces from the Hidden Moon Sect.

The difference was simply too great! Was he really

that wealthy?

Afterwards,

Han Li set up several spirit-sealing pillars and a spirit-binding array around the cave.

The spirit-sealing pillars could prevent the outflow of spiritual energy.

The spirit-binding array could gather spiritual energy and effectively isolate its loss, possessing extremely strong illusion and defensive effects.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator in person would find it difficult to detect the cave hidden beneath the spirit-binding array without careful examination.

“Husband, aren’t you staying?”

Yanli asked worriedly.

“I have some important matters to attend to, but don’t worry, I will return here every three to five years. At that time, you can try to form your Nascent Souls under my protection,”

Han Li reassured her with a smile.

Although there were traces of high-level demonic beasts around Meteor Island, the frequency was low.

As long as the three women didn’t go out too often, they would be fine.

“If you encounter serious trouble while you are in seclusion in your cave, you can escape through the secret passages.”

Before parting, Han Li also told the three women about three underground escape routes dug by the Iron-Armed Beast. These routes

were hundreds of miles long and equipped with numerous formations.

Even if they encountered a level nine demon beast, it would be enough to buy them time to escape.

After giving these instructions, Han Li used his escape light to go to Biling Island.

That’s right.

He didn’t take any of the three women into the underground spiritual veins of Biling Island.

Spirit stones could be given to concubines, but spiritual veins should never be entrusted to them.

A male cultivator’s strength might attract female cultivators, but a female cultivator’s strength would only lead to disdain for a male cultivator. Yuan Yao and Yanli, who had also ventured into the Void Heaven Palace secret realm together, were no exception.

Taking the three women to his private treasury was tantamount to offering their vulnerabilities.

Human hearts are complex and cannot withstand tests.

They weren’t starting this business together.

Therefore,

it’s best not to give your spouse the opportunity to betray you.

Giving them some pocket money, genuinely treating them well, meeting their cultivation needs, and occasionally providing emotional support is enough.

Giving too much is unacceptable.

If you truly love your Daoist partner, keep the money in your own hands.

This is Brother Long’s advice based on experience.

In short, dividing the property is out of the question.

“This concerns my future Nascent Soul stage; this Lake of Spiritual Eyes must not be lost!”

Unless he encounters a love with a higher level of understanding.

Currently, he can’t afford to gamble, nor can he afford to lose.

…

Next…

“It’s time to improve my strength.”

I hope no female Daoist practitioners will scold me?

I’m being petty, sorry. I’m very good to my wife.

But the protagonist might not be so.
