Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 302

Chapter 302: The Immortal Changcun with a Bad Memory

. Jiang Li prioritized the request from the mermaid leader. After leaving the South Sea, he flew directly to Dao Sect.

“Immortal.”

Changcun was absorbed in reading. He loved reading and collecting, and his collection was more comprehensive than any other scripture library in Jiuzhou.

It wasn’t just cultivation techniques; everything from obscure immortal cultivation techniques to clichéd romance novels was on display. Even the latest books on the market were purchased immediately.

“What’s wrong? What’s the matter with me again?”

Changcun closed his book. He had assumed Jiang Li had come to ask him something.

After all, this young man had never specifically sought out this lonely old man to reminisce about the past. Whenever he came, it was always because of something.

Jiang Li noticed that the Immortal was reading a romance story written by the e*otic teacher.

“Well, I heard from the mermaids that two thousand years ago, you borrowed a mermaid ancestor’s immortal notebook.”

Immortal Changcun pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, “If you hadn’t told me, I would have forgotten. But there is such a thing. Let me look for it.”

Immortal Changcun flipped through his storage ring. He lived in Fengji Cave, and there wasn’t much room in the cave for books.

The books he kept in the cave were either his favorites or those he hadn’t read. The rest were stored in his storage ring.

After searching for a long time, Immortal Changcun said awkwardly, “I think I lost it.” “

…” Immortal, how can I explain this to the mermaids?

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I remember everything,” Immortal Changcun pointed to his head.

“The mermaid ancestors were immortals, and I am one too. What I write counts as an immortal notebook.”

Immortal Changcun wrote furiously, reconstructing the mermaid ancestor’s notebook from memory.

“That should be it.”

Jiang Li flipped through the book casually. Most of the content was about the mermaids’ insights into cultivation, but the content was so profound that only those in the Tribulation Crossing stage could understand it.

It also included some stories about the immortal world, such as its cruelty, the predatory nature of the weak, and the indifference of the immortals.

“I was at fault in this matter,” Immortal Changcun felt ashamed. After all, this wasn’t the original book, so how could his writings compare to those of their ancestors?

He pulled out some valuable treasures, elixirs, magical formations, and other items from the Dao Sect’s treasury.

The Immortal Changcun handed these to Jiang Li, asking him to give them along with the book to the mermaids: “This is my compensation to them.”

Jiang Li nodded and flew back to the mermaids.

During the flight, Jiang Li suddenly remembered: since the notebook was lost, not damaged, couldn’t he buy it from the system store?

Acting on his thought, Jiang Li actually found the mermaid ancestor’s notebook there and, without even looking at the source points, bought it outright.

“The Immortal Master has a remarkable memory, perfectly accurate to the last word.” Jiang Li exclaimed.

“Hmm? It seems the Immortal Master didn’t write on this page.” Jiang Li found more evidence of the Immortal Master’s Alzheimer’s condition.

“Let me see what it says. It says that she met the Immortal Dao Ancestor in the Immortal Realm and discovered that the Immortal Dao Ancestor and Dao Zong Dao Ancestor looked identical. The Immortal Dao Ancestor held a lecture on the cultivation method of beheading the three corpses. After beheading the three corpses, subduing them and merging them into one is considered a great accomplishment in cultivation.”

“Subduing the three corpses and merging them into one is considered a great accomplishment in cultivation,” Jiang Li muttered to himself. “So, Dao Zong Dao Ancestor is indeed related to the Immortal Dao Ancestor, and is most likely one of the Immortal Dao Ancestor’s three corpses. Did Dao Zong Dao Ancestor die before merging with the Immortal Dao Ancestor?”

After finding the real handwritten note, Jiang Li returned to Dao Zong and teased the Immortal Master.

“Look, Immortal Master! I found the original book.”

“Hey, how did this book end up in your hands?” the Immortal Master was surprised. “How’s my memory? Is there anything I’m missing?”

“You forgot to mention the encounter between the merman ancestor and the Taoist Patriarch of the Immortal Realm.”

“Look at my memory! As we age, our spiritual altars become less reliable.” Immortal Master Changcun slapped his head, filled with regret. With a simple reminder, he recalled everything on that page.

“Then those rare treasures…”

“Give them to the mermans. Consider it the loan fee for the two thousand years I borrowed them.”

Jiang Li was curious: “What is the relationship between the Taoist Patriarch and the Taoist Patriarch of the Immortal Realm? Is he one of the Three Corpses?”

“I don’t know. Master always tells us riddles. You’ll know when the time comes. But…” The Immortal Master didn’t finish his words, shaking his head slightly. Jiang Li understood what he meant.

The Taoist Patriarch was dead, and unless he went to the Immortal Realm, there was no way to know their relationship.

“It doesn’t have to be the Three Corpses. Master could also be an incarnation of the Taoist Ancestor from the Immortal Realm, sent down to the lower realms for training.”

Jiang Li didn’t dwell on it. It was pointless to think about it; once he reached the Immortal Realm, he’d know everything.

The Taoist Ancestor spoke in riddles, but his disciple, the Immortal Elder, explained everything clearly. It was truly fascinating.

Jiang Li gave the original book and the celestial treasures to the leader of the mermaid tribe.

“T-This is too much.” The leader of the mermaid tribe didn’t dare accept these things. The ancestral handwriting was only of commemorative value to them, not to aid their cultivation. These celestial treasures were enough to multiply the strength of their mermaid tribe several times over. Even forcing them to drink them could push her to the fusion stage.

“Take it,” Jiang Li smiled and pushed it to the leader of the mermaid tribe. Naturally, he wouldn’t mention that it wasn’t just the money from Immortal Elder Changcun for the book, but also the things he provided.

“The Immortal Elder feels sorry for you, so he’s giving this as compensation. Don’t worry, don’t worry about anyone stealing it. If anyone dares, tell me and I’ll help you deal with those fools.”

The mermaid leader, unable to dissuade Jiang Li, had to accept it.

“By the way, when did your ancestor write the letter?”

“Twenty thousand years ago. What happened?”

“Nothing, just asking.”

Thus, the matter of the mermaids finally came to an end.

[Do you want to claim your reward?]

“Yes.”

[A recipe for a True Dragon Blood Bath]

A recipe appeared in Jiang Li’s hand.

A small can of true dragon blood isn’t enough to soak a whole body; it needs to be mixed with water. This prescription details the herbs to be added to the water-mixed blood to maximize its effectiveness.

[“Dragon Transformation Hand”]

This book describes combat techniques for utilizing a cultivator’s hands to their advantage in battle after they’ve been “dragonized.”

A cultivator soaking in true dragon blood has a very small chance of achieving “dragonization.”

“So, according to the system’s timeline, after I help the mermaids win, they’ll give me this can of true dragon blood as a token of gratitude?”

Seeing that both rewards offered by the system involved true dragon blood, Jiang Li made a reasonable guess.

However, five hundred years ago, he didn’t honestly compete against the Southern Jiaolong Clan as the system had expected.

[Invisibility Cloak]

Jiang Li received a set, presumably the invisibility cloak the system had mentioned, complete with instructions for use.

“Putting on this cloak, you can hide your figure. Even a cultivator in the Fusion Stage can’t detect it. It seems quite powerful.”

For a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage, this invisibility cloak can be called a treasure.

Out of curiosity, Jiang Li put on this invisibility cloak.

Jiang Li silently recited the mantra and shouted: “Invisibility!”

The invisibility cloak slowly became transparent and disappeared. Even if a cultivator in the Fusion Stage used his spiritual sense to detect it, he would not be able to find any trace of the cloak.

Jiang Li’s bare bottom was disheveled in the sea breeze, like an exhibitionist.

This broken invisibility cloak can only make the clothes invisible.

“System!”
