…

He remembered.

In the original story, Nangong Wan, who cultivated the Pure Maiden Reincarnation Technique, did indeed continuously transfer her power to the original body in the Blood Forbidden Land. This temporarily raised the original body’s cultivation from the eleventh level of Qi Refining to the thirteenth level.

The explanation at the time was that the original body was only at the Qi Refining stage, therefore, no more power could be transferred.

In other words, if the original body had the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment stage at that time, Nangong Wan could have continued to transfer it.

She could have raised the original body from the early Foundation Establishment stage to the peak of Foundation Establishment,

as long as the body’s meridians could withstand it.

During this period, Nangong Wan sacrificed twenty or thirty years of her cultivation to help the original body maintain the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, enabling it to better utilize the power of the Golden Light Brick Talisman, thus carving out an escape route within a few hours.

Now it seems that the transfer of power through the Pure Maiden Reincarnation Technique is indeed extraordinary.

Normal power transfer among cultivators has many limitations.

The power transfer from Gan Rushuang’s master was extremely costly! Most of the power of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was used to only help Gan Rushuang advance from the mid-stage to the late-stage Core Formation! This shows the extent of the loss!

Therefore, power transfer in the cultivation world generally involves cultivating the same technique.

For example, the Yue Emperor absorbed the power of his eunuch clone.

Even a bloodline connection is required, such as when Ling Xiaofeng and his wife transferred power to their daughter, Ling Yuling.

Another example is the Han family patriarch transferring power to Han Yunzhi, and so on.

Even Yuan Yaoyanli only achieved relatively low power loss because she cultivated the Spirit Fusion Technique… One person transferring power to another strengthens their foundation and increases their chances of breakthrough.

The Pure Maiden Reincarnation Technique is different; it first involves dual cultivation through intercourse, sending out one’s primordial yin while simultaneously remembering the other’s magical aura and characteristics. Then, it simulates the other’s power, thus completing the power transfer with minimal loss.

The ancient cultivators who created this technique were mostly driven by love.

“Are there any other limitations?”

Han Li asked.

“Yes,”

Gan Rushuang nodded solemnly.

“My primordial yin, my first time, is beneficial for breakthroughs within the same cultivation level, and the effect should be acceptable. But it won’t work for breakthroughs in higher realms.”

The primordial yin of the Nascent Soul stage can’t help the Deity Transformation stage.

No wonder Nangong Wan in the original story couldn’t help the original Han Laomo later.

Because her primordial yin was lost in the Blood Forbidden Land, her first time was long gone, so she couldn’t help Han Laomo break through his cultivation at all.

Actually ,

if this timeline had developed normally,

Han Li’s third transformation into a higher Yuan stage should have been assisted by Gan Rushuang’s self-sacrificing cultivation transfer.

A portion of a Core Formation stage cultivator’s power could easily help complete the first transformation.

“Furthermore, among those of the same level, the higher the cultivation level, the greater the reduction in effect,”

Gan Rushuang added.

The effect is best when the Primordial stage helps the peak of the Primordial stage.

The effect is greatly reduced when the Primordial stage helps the peak of the Middle Yuan stage.

The effect is minimal when the Primordial stage helps the peak of the Later Yuan stage.

“In other words, the higher your cultivation level, the greater the help your primordial yin and your internal energy will provide to me?”

Han Li’s eyes gleamed.

If Gan Rushuang’s cultivation level were at the mid-stage or even late-stage Nascent Soul realm when he attempted to break through to the late Nascent Soul or Deity Transformation stage, wouldn’t her assistance be even greater?

At that time, the internal energy and primordial yin she could provide would be comparable to the immense assistance provided by a top-grade spirit stone. The

Pure Maiden Reincarnation Technique is truly a wonderful technique.

Just as Han Li was happily thinking this, Gan Rushuang poured cold water on his plans.

“Young Master, I may have to disappoint you.”

“Oh? How so?”

“My technique is incomplete. My Pure Maiden Reincarnation Technique can only be cultivated to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage! After that, either I will have to consult the relevant texts and create a new method, or I will have to switch to another technique. Either way, it will take a lot of time.”

Gan Rushuang gently bit her lip.

This was her predicament.

Back then, she would have been grateful to even reach the Nascent Soul stage; the nascent soul realm seemed an unattainable dream, and Nascent Soul cultivators were the highest and most unattainable beings.

At that time, she felt that reaching the Nascent Soul stage in this lifetime would be enough.

But who could have imagined that she would reach it before even turning three hundred?

Without the ties of her sect, how would she manage her remaining eight or nine hundred years of lifespan?

“Incomplete cultivation technique, only able to reach the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage?”

Han Li frowned.

Then why did Nangong Wan, the heroine of his previous life’s work, cultivate the Pure Maiden Reincarnation Technique, which directly reached the Mahayana stage?

Where did Nangong obtain such a complete technique?

Thinking of this, he froze on the spot.

The Pure Maiden Reincarnation Technique couldn’t possibly be a legacy from the Spirit Realm, could it?

There was something fishy about this.

“Therefore, if you, young master, are stuck at the peak of the initial stage, you may seek my assistance to break through your cultivation. Once you reach the middle stage, the help I can provide will be limited…”

It wouldn’t be ineffective, but it would be significantly less.

Therefore, she essentially passed the buck back to him.

“Hmm, you’re thoughtful,”

Han Li nodded.

Then, as if remembering something, a sudden sense of unease arose within him. He then casually smiled and asked,

“By the way, Ru Shuang, can your cultivation technique absorb other forces to replenish its own losses during reincarnation?”

“Eh? Young master, how do you know about this secret technique?”

Gan Ru Shuang blinked.

Realizing something amiss, she quickly explained,

“Young master, I didn’t mean to hide anything. This secret technique was a backup plan devised by the ancient cultivator who first created it, to prevent being taken advantage of. If one encounters a good person, one can naturally give away most of one’s power. But if one encounters an unworthy person, at least one chance to retaliate should the other forcibly try to seize one’s power…”

Gan Rushuang’s expression was sincere, not like she was making it up.

But in reality, this time, she was shifting the blame.

Because this secret technique wasn’t created by the originator, but by her.

The originator was a true warrior of pure love, never considering the need to guard against her lover, only wanting to give her the best of everything.

Gan Rushuang was different. She

learned from the mistakes of her predecessors.

She was wary of many people, especially her Daoist partner, who was most likely to target her.

If her partner recklessly exploited her, this secret technique would be activated passively! It would absorb back the power forcibly taken from her, and even “reverse-steal” some of it along with the power!

The more the partner took, the more she could reap double the benefits when the backlash occurred!

The technique itself was not problematic, but in the current situation, it was very easy to have wild thoughts.

Han Li, although he did not understand the specifics, secretly thought there was indeed a trap. He

also secretly felt lucky.

But a sense of vigilance arose in his heart:

behind this delicate flower, there was probably a poisonous thorn.

If he, like outsiders, was unaware of this and did not guard against it, he might very well have sown the seeds of hidden dangers while enjoying the gifts of the Pure Maiden Reincarnation Technique. They might even be exploited in return.

Giving away one’s cultivation power is a gift.

Taking it back with interest is a lesson.

“Don’t worry, I understand you. Cultivation is ultimately about self-preservation.”

So-called partners are, frankly, just the closest collaborators on the path of cultivation.

Han Li said magnanimously,

“In this world, there are never any truly vicious cultivation techniques, only people with impure hearts and evil intentions.”

This Pure Maiden Reincarnation Technique, when used on the right person, is the best way to build a closer relationship.

When used on the wrong person, it becomes a technique that absorbs power.

In short, it varies from person to person.

“Speaking of which, Ru Shuang, can the Pure Maiden Reincarnation Technique’s counter-attack method steal the power of just anyone?”

“I don’t know, but it should be… I guess.”

Gan Ru Shuang replied cautiously.

“I understand.”

Han Li thought of the two Nascent Souls within the sealed container, his smile becoming even more amiable:

“If that’s the case, perhaps you won’t need to lose your cultivation when you transfer the technique.”

…

Back on Bi Ling Island.

Han Li continued his seclusion.

Time flew by, spring turned to autumn, and more than ten years passed in a flash.

At this time, his cultivation had reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.

He had been diligently cultivating within the top-grade spiritual veins of Bi Ling Island for two or three decades.

During this time, he combined the large amount of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and medicines he had accumulated with ancient pill formulas he had collected from various places to refine them into more than a hundred bottles of pills. Those

that were effective for him, he consumed himself like candy.

Those that were ineffective for him but effective for the three women, he gave to them.

In addition, besides absorbing the medicinal power of the pills and the spiritual energy of the spiritual veins, he also absorbed the spiritual energy of high-grade spirit stones “without reservation” for cultivation!

Although the spiritual energy of high-grade spirit stones could not bring him a growth rate of a thousand miles a day, it still brought him several times or even ten times the speed of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators cultivating in the outside world!

With multiple methods, his cultivation progress was not much slower than that of the original body in the original trajectory.

“Peak of the early stage of Nascent Soul…”

He had finally reached this point.

“I don’t have many years left of the time I agreed with Barbarian Beard!”

Next, it was time to try to take it a step further.

On the Spirit Eye Jade Bed.

Han Li took out a top-grade spirit stone.

Incidentally, he released the pure spiritual energy stored in the green treasure chest. He had used the treasure chest to preserve a portion of it when he was in the garden area.

This is the perfect time to use it.

“If even a top-grade spirit stone can’t help me advance further, then I’m out of options.”

He went into seclusion.

He broke through the barrier.

Half a year later, he emerged from seclusion.

When Han Li opened his eyes again, the light in them was even more dazzling.

His aura was incomparable to what it had been before.

…

A top-grade spirit stone in his hand.

Looking at the top-grade spirit stone in his hand, now half-empty of its original spiritual energy, Han Li felt both heartache and relief.

He got up, stretched, and relaxed his body.

Then, he excitedly clenched his fist:

“It’s done!”

Nascent Soul…Mid-stage!

And with the Nascent Soul stage complete, how far away is the Nascent Soul stage?

…

All along, he hadn’t been in a hurry to return to his original body because although his original body’s spiritual root had been refined multiple times by several Heaven-Mending Pills, its speed of absorbing spiritual energy and its efficiency of converting spiritual power were much higher than those with dual spiritual roots or some special physiques. It

was second only to those with heterogeneous spiritual roots.

However, the bottleneck of his pseudo-spiritual root hadn’t been lowered much as a result.

The bottleneck of the four-element pseudo-spiritual roots is still much larger than that of the wind spiritual root, a different kind of spiritual root.

At

the same cultivation level, what are rare and precious materials that help a cultivator with a different spiritual root break through a bottleneck might just be ordinary pills for a pseudo-spiritual root cultivator!

This is an inherent weakness!

If a cultivator with a different spiritual root had fallen into the original half of the Fallen Demon Valley’s Spirit Garden during the early Nascent Soul stage, they might have emerged at the late Nascent Soul stage. If it had been Wei Wuyai who went in, he would likely have emerged at the Deity Transformation stage.

But the original body with the pseudo-spiritual root consumed dozens of top-grade ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, each six or seven thousand years old, from half of the Spirit Garden, and only barely progressed from the early Nascent Soul stage to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

If Master Hanli wanted to enter the Deity Transformation stage, with the stimulation of five types of Yuanhou-level cold flames and the improvement of his divine sense, he would have a great chance.

But the original body with the pseudo-spiritual root…

To achieve this, one must simultaneously satisfy the following conditions: divine sense several times greater than the same level, mana several times greater than the same level, mana purity surpassing the same level, stimulation from five types of cold flames, assistance from the Demonic Yuan Pill of the Heavenly Demon Sect, a safety net of top-grade spirit stones, refinement of the spiritual root by the Heaven-Mending Pill, prior strengthening of the nascent soul by the Nascent Soul Pill, and various other fortuitous encounters such as pills made from ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs that enhance mana.

Oh, and even more importantly, there’s the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light! A Nascent Soul cultivator with a different spiritual root could easily

reach the Divine Transformation stage by simply selecting three or four of these opportunities, let alone all of the above!

The reason for this is that different spiritual root constitutions have different levels of difficulty in overcoming bottlenecks. A

minor realm bottleneck in a pseudo-spiritual root requires far more and better resources to break through.

The resources consumed in nurturing a two-hundred-year-old Nascent Soul cultivator with a pseudo-spiritual root are enough to nurture three or four Nascent Soul cultivators with different spiritual roots.

The bottleneck of a pseudo-spiritual root is a huge pitfall.

Most importantly, he is ultimately not the original body; he doesn’t have the little green bottle or unlimited resources.

Therefore, he had to be meticulous in his calculations

and think thrice before acting.

Before he was certain that the top-grade spirit stones he possessed, combined with Gan Rushuang’s power transfer and his virgin yin essence, could help him break through the bottleneck in one go, he had to be cautious.

He only knew that he couldn’t afford to fail.

He absolutely couldn’t be a gambler.

If he poured in the top-grade spirit stones, and even took advantage of Gan Rushuang, yet his main body still couldn’t break through the bottleneck, remaining stuck at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, then some of his plans would prematurely fail. Conversely

,

if he first allowed his wind-attribute Nascent Soul to advance to the mid-Nascent Soul stage,

and then returned to his main body to disperse his power

and start over, he wouldn’t need to consider the bottlenecks of forming a Nascent Soul or the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage!

He would have no bottlenecks before reaching the late Nascent Soul stage!

“If it weren’t for these concerns, why would I have gone through such a long and winding road?”

Han Li sighed inwardly.

He finally made it through.

…

Months later, after his cultivation had completely stabilized, his wind-attribute Nascent Soul, without further delay, leaped out of the Wind Soul’s body and then flashed into the center of his main body’s brow:

“Disperse!”

Nascent Soul stage, Han has arrived.

Mid-Nascent Soul stage, just needing some time to recover his cultivation.

Shattered Core, Condensed Nascent Soul.
