A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 23 The Wonderful Life of Master Jin Guang

Han Li patiently stayed here for two months.

I have encountered Master Jinguang on more than one occasion when he went out to freeload.

On one occasion, he witnessed from afar that this dwarf, using what he called flying sword magic, decisively defeated a group of barbarian bandits who were attacking Ulster Castle outside the city. He received a large sum of gold from the castle's owners as a reward.

At that time, seeing the Golden Light Master carelessly squander the energy within the Gray Sword Talisman, he felt far more heartbroken than the dwarf.

After all, talismans are consumables; the energy within them diminishes with each use and cannot be replenished.

He had subconsciously come to regard this talisman as his own.

How could he not feel pained seeing the dwarf Jin Guang squandering the energy of the talisman?

Another time.

One day, an innocent child encountered golden light and wanted to play with the Venerable Golden Light.

The children all regarded this guy as their peer.

result.

This dwarf acted ruthlessly.

He instantly killed all the children present with the gray sword talisman.

It indirectly ruined more than a dozen families in that village.

The reason was that he hated it when people laughed at him for being short.

This fellow struck twice with incredible speed. Both times he killed someone, his efficiency was remarkably high. Han Li watched from afar, knowing full well he couldn't withstand a single blow. But at the same time, he also noticed the dwarf's weakness.

That is: they're enjoying life too much.

"Since you like to freeload, then I'll grant your wish."

If Master Jinguang were to spend his days hiding in the Taoist temple and diligently cultivating, he really wouldn't have any way to deal with him.

But this guy likes to go to the homes of wealthy people for a treat, and even take advantage of their female relatives.

As a result, its weaknesses are numerous.

Ordinary people don't have the means to deal with this guy. Skilled people wouldn't appear in this remote place right next to the barbarian territory. And even if someone had the means to deal with the Golden Light Master, they wouldn't needlessly stand up for someone else and provoke him.

His flying sword technique was simply too sharp, and his Vajra Talisman was flawless.

The combination of offense and defense deterred almost all those with ulterior motives in the area.

pity.

It couldn't intimidate Han Li.

It was in the third month.

While traveling, Venerable Jin Guang accepted an invitation to visit the Ming family, one of the four major families in Yanling City and now one of the three major families.

In Yanling City, the reclusive master Jin Guang, who is suspected to be an immortal, is extremely rare. The three most powerful families in the city each invite this dwarf to their residences for a monthly banquet. This is partly to cultivate relationships and win him over, and partly to secure his assistance in the future.

This time, it was the Ming family that extended the invitation.

Han Li had already observed and summarized this point two months prior.

therefore.

He scouted the location beforehand and infiltrated the Ming family compound, which only had a large number of servants and no top-notch martial arts masters.

Among the Ming family, the most powerful is the eldest son, whose swordsmanship and internal strength are comparable to those of the hundred or so core disciples of the Seven Mysteries Hall of the Seven Mysteries Sect.

As for the Ming family's two hundred or so servants?
The three or five people they could actually produce were only at the level of ordinary inner disciples of the Seven Mysteries Sect.

Equivalent to a third-rate martial arts practitioner.

This group of people posed no threat whatsoever to Han Li, whose five senses were keen.

The hidden sentries that the Ming family had set up at night in various secluded corners were, in his eyes, utterly useless.

Han Li sneaked into the kitchen the night before.

He then rested peacefully on the roof beam for the night.

The next morning, after all the food had been purchased, he immediately set his sights on the ingredients for the dish that Master Jin Guang had always loved.

"I'll add some extra ingredients when the dishes are ready, I hope you like them."

Turn your gaze away and wait patiently for the master chef to prepare a delicious meal for Venerable Jin Guang.

Just as the chef was about to finish cooking the dish and call the maid to serve it, Han Li activated his Concealing Breath Technique and Disguise Technique. Then, taking advantage of the moment when the chef and maid could not detect him, he mixed some special ingredients into the broth of the finished product.

This unique substance is colorless, odorless, and non-toxic, so it cannot be detected by methods such as poison testing with silver needles. It also does not cause significant harm to the human body.

It was formulated by him after years of dedicated study of medicine.

If used on Doctor Mo, it would definitely be useless, since he hasn't yet surpassed his teacher. But using it on Venerable Jin Guang would be a different story.

...

Inside the banquet hall.

The guests and hosts were all very happy, and the atmosphere was harmonious and joyful.

The Golden Light Master, who was using the surname Zhang as an alias to evade the investigation by the Ye family of Qin Yeling, now had a slightly tipsy look on his face.

"Master Ming, this dish made by your chef is still the most delicious and suits my taste the best."

Another day without being poisoned or targeted.

Tests using methods such as silver needles showed that the food was not poisonous.

He was very happy about this.

There's no need to slaughter the entire family in a fit of rage, like at a banquet years ago.

After two years of getting to know the Ming family, he had become increasingly satisfied. Their chef always managed to prepare lavish meals tailored to his tastes and preferences. Furthermore, the entire Ming family consistently provided him with abundant emotional support, leaving him feeling completely refreshed and happy. This dependent family, this powerful scoundrel who constantly paid him protection money, was simply perfect for him.

"Not at all, Master Zhang, as long as you're satisfied."

"Yes, Master Zhang, it is a blessing for the Ming family that my little sister has won your favor."

"With Master Zhang's protection, my Ming family can live in Yanling City without worry for a hundred years..."

The Ming family members all had smiles on their faces.

Some of them were genuinely laughing heartily, such as the head of the Ming family.

He was trying his best to win over Master Jin Guang.

Because his goal is to ensure the continuation of the bloodline.

After a hearty meal, it was time for Master Jinguang to "break his vegetarian vows."

The Ming family has a daughter who is quite beautiful and skilled in dancing, and she is very good at winning the heart of the dwarf.

The head of the Ming family was even more pleased to see this happen.

I'd be happy to borrow a seed.

Nothing more than optimizing bloodlines.

Although he himself lacked spiritual roots, and neither did his family members, and in his early years they knew nothing about the cultivation world, his daughter proved to be a capable woman. Through her skillful manipulation of the fingertips, she learned many secrets of the cultivation world from the Qi Refining stage expert, Master Jin Guang. Among these secrets was the fundamental reason why mortals could not cultivate immortality.

It is impossible to acquire spiritual roots through birth.

At least not for their group.

then.

We can only hope for our newborn offspring.

Borrowing sperm is one of the most effective methods.

The probability of a mortal without spiritual roots mating with another mortal without spiritual roots to produce offspring with spiritual roots is less than one in ten thousand. Those in the world who possess spiritual roots are said to be one in ten thousand lucky individuals.

If a mortal without spiritual roots marries someone with spiritual roots, the probability of their offspring possessing spiritual roots will increase significantly.

therefore.

In this land, the immortal with spiritual roots, Jin Guang Shangren, was not a hungry wolf or ostracized by powerful mortal families like the Ming family; on the contrary, he was often courted by all sides and regarded as a precious treasure.

In short, the three major families, including the Ming family, all wanted to come here to borrow a seed in order to upgrade from a mortal family to a cultivation family.

In Han Li's view, this was something that was both laughable and lamentable.

The mere Golden Light Immortal, with his pseudo-spiritual root, was nothing but a nobody in the eyes of countless cultivators, including many low-level rogue cultivators—a nobody, a marginal figure. But in the eyes of mortals, he was the hope and opportunity to change their family's social standing and rewrite the future of their descendants.

Let's look at Master Jinguang's side.

The banquet was drawing to a close. The middle-aged man, who was only three feet tall and had some silver in his hair, was being helped to his boudoir by the beautiful youngest daughter of the Ming family.

What happens next is self-evident.

Normally, Venerable Jin Guang claimed he possessed considerable self-control. To him, the Ming family woman before him was merely a woman of slightly attractive appearance, capable of pleasing him in bed and granting him the quintessential vanity every man desires. He had encountered women like this before in the past two years. He wasn't tired of them, but they weren't exactly novel either.

But today, his mood was unusually high.

The banquet was fine in the early stages, but in the later stages, after a few rounds of drinks, a burning heat would rise in his lower abdomen whenever he saw a woman from the Ming family.

Especially after the woman made physical contact with him, the fire within him was no longer hidden; it burned brighter and brighter, becoming clearer and clearer.

Once the door is closed, not even a true immortal could open it today.

"My little beauty has arrived~"
