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

Chapter 40 The End of an Era for a Tycoon
After saying that, she waited quietly for Han Li's reply.

But Han Li's gaze remained dangerous.

First and foremost, Doctor Mo must die, as he is the only one who knows his background. If he is not eliminated, the likelihood of his family being targeted will greatly increase, and the possibility of him being exploited by those with ulterior motives will also greatly increase.

Furthermore, he did not believe what Mo Juren said.

Or rather, even if what Mo Juren said was true, he couldn't gamble with his family's lives.

If he loses the bet, his family will face retaliation from the Mo family, and the Han family of Wuligou in Jingzhou may be doomed.

In short, the Han family of Wuligou, including his parents who were very good to him, his beloved younger sister, his brothers who took great care of him a few years ago, and his third uncle who had been very kind to their family, must not be implicated or destroyed because of his momentary kindness.

Moreover, if his family suffers retaliation from the Mo family because of his kindness, this kindness today will inevitably become a stumbling block on his path to immortality.

It will become his inner demon.

This is not conducive to his spiritual practice.

From both a moral and logical standpoint, he had no reason to let the Mo family off the hook.

Ink Jade Bead, Ink Phoenix Dance, Ink Color Ring... they all have to die!

Must die!
Before the path of immortality, these are nothing but beautiful skeletons.

Just as Han Li's gaze became increasingly dangerous and resolute, a burst of green light suddenly shot out from the child's body, heading straight for Han Li!

The incident happened suddenly, and the green light was extremely fast. In addition, Han Li hesitated for a moment and was distracted! In this carelessness, the green light entered his body.

"not good!"

"This is…"

"Possession that abandons everything?"

That's not right.

Mo Juren had already possessed him once; there was no way he could do it a second time. Furthermore, this fellow's magical cultivation was far inferior to his own, merely at the peak of the fourth level of Qi Refining, while his cultivation was at the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining, with his primordial spirit and magical power several times stronger. Besides, the battlefield for possession was his sea of ​​consciousness, his home turf. What right did Mo Juren have to forcibly possess him?

Giving away heads?

Within Han Li's sea of ​​consciousness, two orbs of light, one large and one small, appeared before him.

The big one belongs to Han Li; it's the size of his fist.

The small one belongs to Dr. Mo; it's about the size of an egg.

Upon seeing the invading small cluster of green light, the large cluster of golden primordial spirit light instinctively generated an extremely strong desire to devour it. However, before the golden light could pounce on and devour the small cluster of green light, the green light exploded first.

This is one of the three major taboos that have been triggered when someone attempts to possess another body: one cannot attempt to possess another body a second time.

Human cultivators can only attempt to possess another body once. A second attempt will inevitably fail. Even those at the Core Formation or Nascent Soul stages will fail, let alone those at the Qi Refining stage.

Doctor Mo forcibly possessed the body a second time, but the price was that his primordial spirit immediately collapsed.

What is Mo Juren thinking?

Just as Han Li was wondering what was going on, a series of memories flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, causing his vision to go black.

Those were fragments of Dr. Mo's memories.

A person's life is but a fleeting few decades.

Dr. Mo's life, everything he experienced, is contained in these fragments of memory.

Why are you showing me these memories?

Han Li was filled with doubt.

Countless fragments of memories flooded in, overwhelming him. After a quick, involuntary review of Mo Juren's memories, he decisively deleted all images of the man before his return to the Mo residence, leaving only the scenes from his time there. This was to prevent memory contamination and its impact on his mind.

During his time at the Mo residence, Doctor Mo did not, as he had said, tell anyone in the Mo family about Han Li's affair with the Seven Mysteries Sect, nor did he tell his former lover about his various experiences.

Everything was glossed over with a nonchalant air.

At least that's the case in these fragments of memory.

Only then did he understand the true intention of this cheap master who forcibly "possessed" him.

Actually, it wasn't about possession at all.

Instead, they wanted to share and showcase their memories.

After all, a second attempt to possess another body is destined to fail.

In other words, this desperate act wasn't to harm him or drag him down, but to prove that what he said earlier was true, to prove that he hadn't lied. It was to prove that he hadn't informed the Mo family about the Seven Mysteries Sect and his affairs.

Is this the last thing you're doing for your family?

Han Li was somewhat moved.

And the next moment, he noticed a subtle change in himself.

"Huh? This feeling..."

"Why do I feel like my five senses have become more acute?"

As Doctor Mo's primordial spirit perished, a portion of its most fundamental energy spontaneously flowed into his primordial spirit, becoming nourishment and transforming into a small tonic.

Although this nourishing energy was very subtle, only a tiny bit, it truly benefited him.

"They're showing me my memories again, and now they're rewarding me with this primordial spirit essence..."

"Mo Juren, your actions are truly well-intentioned."

They're really going all out for their family's survival.

"... "

"Very well, it took you years to nurture me and give me the foundation for immortality. You are, after all, my mentor. Besides, you have proven yourself by doing so, for once, that you spoke the truth..."

In Mo Juren's memory, he actually saw another idea.

That is: if Han Li and Zhang Tie also lack spiritual roots, then they will be treated as true successors and nurtured with utmost care. This can also be seen as leaving a contingency plan for the women of the Mo family.

Otherwise, would someone who knows his days are numbered only choose Zhang Tie and Han Li?
If we were to focus solely on selecting those with spiritual roots, we would surely be training hundreds of children at the same time, just like we did two years ago!

...

"Whoosh..." The corpse, devoid of its primordial spirit, was reduced to ashes by a fireball technique flicked in the finger.

The life of Dr. Mo, a ruthless and ambitious man, has since become a speck of dust in this period of history.

Another acquaintance is gone.

Then, using a special technique, he smeared some blood on the corpse puppet Iron Slave and made it recognize him as its master again. From then on, a burly figure appeared beside Han Li.

"Iron Slave" was renamed "Qu Hun".

After finishing, he carefully examined Doctor Mo's storage bag.

Basic fire-based magic, the Everlasting Spring Technique (wood-based magic), earth-based magic, and another undamaged low-grade magic weapon…

"Huh? The Blood Spirit Grass is still here?!"

Blood Spirit Grass is the main ingredient for refining Blood Spirit Pills.

Although the Blood Spirit Pill is only a pill used in the Qi Refining stage, it has strong medicinal power and can greatly increase the mana of cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage.

It belongs to the finest among ancient elixirs.

If used properly, this one plant can yield at least two bottles of elixir.

Two bottles of Blood Spirit Pills are more than enough to raise the cultivation level of an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator from the eighth or ninth level to the tenth level.

With his peak Qi Refining Level 7 cultivation level, taking this would definitely allow him to reach Qi Refining Level 9.

of course.

He doesn't plan to take it too early.

It's not too late to take the Blood Spirit Pill after the Yellow Dragon Pill and Golden Marrow Pill have been consumed and their medicinal effects have diminished.

"After returning to the sect and gathering the remaining ingredients, we can seek help from an excellent alchemist within the sect to refine a batch." Han Li immediately made up his mind.

With this Blood Spirit Grass, his cultivation progress should be able to improve considerably.

"Let's go, Soul of Melody."

The spirit beast pouch flashed with light, and Qu Hun entered it.

Two full days have passed since Mo Juren forcibly possessed him.

Even a cursory review of memories is very time-consuming.

"Oh right, I also need to see Sun Ergou, cure his poison, and leave a good impression on him..." He still really liked one of Ergouzi's descendants.

...

Continuing downstream, it also flew through the air.

A few days later, Han Li traveled thousands of miles and finally arrived at Guanggui City, the southernmost city in Lanzhou.

Guanggui City can only be considered a medium-sized city, about one-fifth the size of Jiayuan City.

The population is five to six hundred thousand.

This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides and borders a lake on the other, with a section of the Xianglu Grand Canal passing through the lake.

This place boasts a beautiful environment, a pleasant climate, and abundant production of several highly nutritious fruits. Transportation is also very convenient. Therefore, it is a popular leisure and vacation destination for many wealthy families.

The Tainan Valley of Tainan Mountain, where the Tainan Small Meeting was held, is not far to the west of Guanggui City.

The mountain is three to four thousand meters high, and from a distance, it looks like a giant beast lurking on the earth.

This mountain is shrouded in mist year-round. Mortals are unaware of the reason, but cultivators know that it is because a cultivation family has set up an array here, generating an endless mist. The ever-present mountain mist effectively prevents mortals from accidentally entering.

Han Li arrived at a strange hillside where the fog was extremely thick and it was easy to lose one's way once one entered. He then took out a low-level transmission talisman, recited a couple of sentences into it, and sent it into the depths of the fog.

Before long, most of the fog dissipated, revealing a secluded path.

The road seemed very long, but when Han Li stepped onto it, he soon reached the end.

The intersection is just ahead.

As soon as he stepped on it, his eyes lit up and he suddenly felt enlightened.

What came into view was a green valley filled with exotic flowers and plants. The valley was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the only exit was the hillside that had been blocked by mist when he entered.

The valley covers a large area, about two or three hundred acres.

Near the central square, there are carved railings and jade steps, palaces standing in rows, and at least thirty or forty small buildings of three to five stories. Some of these buildings are even close to the mountainside at the edge of the valley, and some buildings seem to have parts of them burrowed into the mountainside.

On the blue brick square, many people dressed in strange clothes looked like small vendors setting up stalls.

At those stalls, people frequently stopped to examine the goods. Some looked down to ask the price, others turned and left, and still others bid against each other for a particular item. There were quite a few people of all kinds, easily five or six hundred at a glance.

These are just in the open space of the square.

There are many shops near the square, and people are coming and going.

In addition, there are more than ten inns here for cultivators to stay in, and there must be quite a few people staying in the inns.

"Many independent cultivators and cultivators from immortal cultivation families."

Han Li sighed inwardly.

"Most of them are very young, mostly teenagers or young adults in their twenties, and you hardly see anyone in their thirties."

"And there are quite a few skilled individuals inside..."

There are plenty of teenagers who have reached the eighth or ninth level of Qi cultivation, and some even reach the tenth or eleventh level.

A Qi Refining Level 9 cultivation is only considered intermediate.

Someone at the seventh level of Qi Refining like him can only be considered to be at a lower-middle level in the arena.

"As expected of the Tainan Small Meeting held only once every five years."

There's a bit of pressure now.

　Chapter 40 has a slightly different ending. Life is hard enough already, let's not make it any more depressing.
