A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 One and a Half Years

With the “medicinal bath” and “taking spiritual medicine,” and with the dual assistance of internal and external methods, his cultivation speed increased significantly.

In just over a month, he reached a minor bottleneck.

In the following days, with the help of the medicine, he overcame that hurdle in one go and mastered the first level of the Everlasting Spring Technique.

In other words, he had become a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining.

He had become a genuine immortal cultivator.

Speaking of

which, on the day of his breakthrough, because Doctor Mo was eager for quick success, the spiritual herbs he used when preparing the spiritual liquid were of too high quality, making the medicinal power of the prepared spiritual liquid too strong, causing him to injure his meridians during his breakthrough.

Several meridians almost ruptured, and he suffered internal injuries of varying degrees.

If it weren’t for Doctor Mo’s superb medical skills, the fact that the damage to his meridians wasn’t too serious, and the subsequent willingness to use medicine, he wouldn’t have suffered any sequelae.

When he was injured, Mo Juren was even more worried and nervous than he was.

When he was taking medicine to recuperate, Mo Juren was even more anxious and concerned than he was.

The entire treatment process was somewhat unsettling.

He only seemed relieved after his injuries improved.

Truly worthy of his good “Master Mo.”

Whenever he thought of Doctor Mo’s extraordinary enthusiasm and care, his eyes would sharpen:

“Doctor Mo, Doctor Mo, you’ve been so good to me, how can I ever repay you?”

…

Time flies, a year and a half has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this year, Han Li seized this rare opportunity, devoting himself entirely to cultivating the Changchun Gong mantra. He showed

no slackening.

He did not disappoint Doctor Mo’s full support.

And this resulted in his cultivation progress being extremely gratifying, even exceeding his initial expectations.

Not only had he entered the second level of Qi Refining, but he was also not far from the third level. It should be noted that even the protagonist of his novel, Han Li, took nearly three years to reach the third level of Qi Refining.

“Indeed, an adult’s comprehension is quite useful.”

At least, the comprehension and learning abilities possessed by this adult soul were incomparable to those of a ten-year-old village boy lacking knowledge and experience.

“Moreover, Yu Zitong is definitely using Mo Juren’s words to answer my questions…”

Initially, learning the Evergreen Technique was like studying a heavenly book, leaving him bewildered and unable to understand it. This was one of the reasons why his progress in the first three months of learning the technique was slow.

But he caught the eye of Doctor Mo.

And someone saw hope in his despair and began to guide his cultivation.

Leaving aside Doctor Mo, who was only half-baked, let’s talk about Yu Zitong, who only had a remnant of his primordial spirit left in Doctor Mo’s body.

That fellow also mainly practiced the Evergreen Technique and had even cultivated the incantation to the seventh level.

That’s right.

Yu Zitong’s main practice was not some other basic Five Elements technique, but the Evergreen Technique.

With his insightful guidance, as long as he wasn’t stupid, he would gain something.

This is precisely the main reason why his cultivation speed is much faster than that of his protagonists, and he is about to reach the third level of Qi Refining.

“Furthermore, my mind can be calmed very easily.”

He is a rather secluded person.

In short, he can endure loneliness.

This state of mind of accepting loneliness, facing loneliness, experiencing loneliness, and even enjoying loneliness makes his heart as still as water. Such a state of mind is exactly in line with the best seclusion state for cultivators, which is not only beneficial to the arduous cultivation during the Qi Refining stage, but also has a great influence on any subsequent stage of cultivation.

In other words, his current achievements are not accidental.

“Speaking of which, Yu Zitong’s scheme against Mo Juren was also a clever one. Unfortunately, in my writing, he still became a stepping stone for the protagonist.”

Han Li sighed as he thought of something.

That Yu Zitong, whose primordial spirit is currently trapped in Doctor Mo’s body, cannot escape before Doctor Mo uses the body-snatching secret technique. This forces the other party to find a way to make Doctor Mo’s primordial spirit leave his body first to snatch another person’s body.

Furthermore, Doctor Mo had become obsessed with the path of immortality and genuinely wanted to possess a cultivator with spiritual roots to begin his own cultivation journey.

The two were a perfect match.

Thus,

they made a solemn vow:

Yu Zitong would instruct Mo Juren on how to possess a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining. After Mo Juren successfully possessed the body, he would need to help Yu Zitong find a cultivator’s body for his own possession.

As for why Mo Juren could only possess a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining?

This was a plot point the original author, through Yu Zitong, had created for Doctor Mo.

It was because after Doctor Mo completely converted his essence into magical power, he could briefly gain magical power comparable to a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining! And after his primordial spirit left his body, he could engage in a dangerous possession battle with a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining!

A life-or-death struggle between two cultivators at the fourth level of Qi Refining, regardless of which side temporarily won, would result in mutual destruction.

At that time, Yu Zitong, who had been watching from the shadows, would suddenly emerge to clean up the mess.

In this way, he would reap the benefits of the conflict.

And if his protagonist hadn’t used the little green bottle to gain an unfair advantage and conceal his true strength, the real winner in the end would still be this Yu fellow.

…

“That concludes today’s medical explanation. Han Li, don’t neglect it after you return; review it often in the evenings. As the saying goes, reviewing the old helps one understand the new.”

In Doctor Mo’s study, the old man instructed him. He

had a kind and amiable face.

Han Li respectfully bowed:

“Disciple understands, and will certainly not fail your teachings, Master Mo.”

For over a year, Doctor Mo hadn’t taught him any other martial arts, resulting in his extremely poor self-defense abilities. Facing the other boys of the Seven Mysteries Sect, he was like a submissive wife who could only endure mistreatment.

Doctor Mo, whether to comfort him or for some other reason, had been completely open in his medical instruction. He

always taught him personally, imparting all his knowledge.

Whenever Han Li raised a question, Doctor Mo would answer it without hesitation, until Han Li was satisfied. He was also allowed to come to the study and browse all the medical books in the room.

Now, it was time to finish answering his questions.

“Hmm, I see your efforts. Hard work always pays off. Believe in your efforts today, and you will be rewarded in the future. Alright, go down now, I need to rest too. By the way, about your desire to practice the Elephant Armor Technique, let me think about it some more! You must understand the principle of not trying to do too much at once…” Doctor Mo patiently advised.

“Yes, disciple takes his leave.”

Han Li obediently did not argue.

After he left the room, Doctor Mo immediately dropped his kind smile.

He then began to mutter to himself:

“What do you think?”

“Being taught a lesson by a group of kids his own age, he must be resentful. He wants to get revenge.” A strange voice suddenly rang out in the empty room.

The owner of this voice was none other than Yu Zitong.

“Should I teach him the Elephant Armor Technique or not?”

“Not teaching him might cause him to harbor resentment. Teaching him will not only give you a strong body and spare you from that painful ordeal, but it will also make him trust you more and prevent him from having any other thoughts.” Yu Zitong’s voice was casual, with an attitude that it didn’t matter whether you listened or not. However, it also hit many key points: “Besides, even if you don’t teach him, can’t he just steal it from Zhang Tie?” “

But if that kid makes a mistake while stealing it, you won’t have time to regret it then…”

“As for your concern that his strength will grow too much and be difficult to control? Ha, he’s just an eleven-year-old kid, he hasn’t even grown all his feathers yet, what are you worried about? If you let him practice your mundane martial art, the Elephant Armor Technique, what kind of skills can he develop?”

“Besides, he might just be interested for a moment, or he might quickly back down because of the difficulty?”

“So…”

At this point, Yu Zitong didn’t say anything more.

Doctor Mo nodded, as if a knot had been untied in his heart: “That’s right, I was overthinking it. He’s just an eleven-year-old child after all.”

Even a few years later, he’d only be a ten-year-old.

He had indeed been worrying unnecessarily.

…

Outside the house.

Han Li, walking further and further away,

had a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

It turned out that

just two days ago,

he had orchestrated a “chance encounter” and “verbal altercation” between himself and an inner disciple.

Then, he got beaten up. He

was mocked.

The beating wasn’t severe.

And it certainly couldn’t be too severe, otherwise Doctor Mo would probably have gone berserk that very night, taking advantage of his age to beat him up.

You see, Doctor Mo now cherished his body even more than Han Li himself.

Therefore

, he couldn’t go too far, nor was it necessary to go too far, otherwise he would have harmed the innocent people involved.

And after such an incident, it would be unreasonable for Doctor Mo not to teach him some martial arts to protect himself.

Among these, Zhang Tie’s arduous training in the Elephant Armor Technique was the top choice.
