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

Chapter 55 I Am Different From You

From the day he was provoked, it took him nearly eight months to reach the tenth level of Qi Refining.

After another eight or nine months, at the cost of consuming even more mid-grade spirit stones, he barely managed to advance to the eleventh level of Qi Refining. From then on, the medicinal power of the Red Jade Pill became very weak, and the Yellow Dragon Pill and Golden Marrow Pill were completely ineffective for him.

The remaining half-bottle of Spirit Marrow Pills and a few Blood Spirit Pills were not enough for him to advance further in a short period of time.

Considering the approaching Crimson Trial, he hesitated only for a moment before swallowing the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand.

This Foundation Establishment Pill is certainly important for his subsequent Foundation Establishment, but he will definitely participate in this Crimson Trial and compete for the large number of precious spiritual herbs in the forbidden area.

If he were to bring a Foundation Establishment Pill along, and the news leaked out, all the cultivators from the seven sects participating in the trial would see him as easy prey and target him. At that time, the Foundation Establishment Pill would not only be of no use to him, but would also make him a target of everyone's attacks, drawing the firepower of the elite disciples from all sects.

He who was originally hidden in the shadows will suddenly appear transparently in front of people.

It's not good to go from darkness to light.

Even if the disciples of Huangfeng Valley keep their mouths shut and don't reveal any information about him, he still has to be able to defeat the elite disciples or even seed-level experts of the other six sects and get out of the Blood Forbidden Land alive first.

However, reaching the eleventh level of Qi Refining is still too much of a stretch.

Compared to the original owner, his foundation at the same time was much weaker.

The original owner of this body barely survived those few days in the forbidden area, let alone the current him.

Therefore, he used this Foundation Establishment Pill.

After taking the Foundation Establishment Pill and refining its medicinal power for over a month, his cultivation level successfully advanced to the twelfth level of Qi Refining. After another two months of refining the remaining medicinal power and consolidating his cultivation, he finally emerged from seclusion to breathe in the fresh air of the outside world.

As soon as he came out of the pass, he bumped into Dong Xuan'er, who had been waiting outside for many days.

"Uncle-Master, although I lost and failed to establish my foundation this time, I am sure I can obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill again and establish my foundation."

Han Li's response remained firm and powerful.

His eyes did not dodge.

Their faith remained unwavering.

The Foundation Establishment stage seemed as insignificant to him as eating and drinking.

"Ambitious. But where do you plan to find a new Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Suddenly remembering something, Dong Xuan'er's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she tentatively asked:
"Do you intend to wait until the sect competition seven years from now to make a name for yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li shook his head in denial:
"No, seven years is too long, I can't wait that long."

seven years?

Are you kidding me?
Seven years later, the daylilies were all too cold.

Moreover, the sect competition held once every ten years can only provide him with one Foundation Establishment Pill.

If he wants to establish his foundation, he needs at least eight Foundation Establishment Pills as a backup.

"So how are you preparing?"

For some reason, Dong Xuan'er felt a little nervous.

Because she may have already guessed the person in front of her's plans.

However, entering that place to compete for spiritual herbs in exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills is far too dangerous.

Please don't let it be what you're thinking...

just.

Han Li's answer still made her heart sink.

"I'm going to venture into the Crimson Forbidden Zone."

He didn't say he wanted to, nor did he say he planned to, but he was certain that he would go.

The attitude is already very clear.

"Are you crazy? Haven't you heard how dangerous that place is? Don't get cocky just because you did well at the Ascension Tournament. The difficulty of the Ascension Tournament is on a completely different level from the intensity of the Blood Trial."

The smile on Dong Xuan'er's face vanished completely, replaced by an extremely solemn expression.

There was also a hint of worry about Han Li.

"Of course I know that the participants in the Ascension Tournament are no match for the elites from various factions in the Crimson Trial."

Han Li's expression also became serious and solemn:
"In the Ascension Tournament, the oldest participant cannot be over 40 years old, and the highest cultivation level is only the twelfth level of Qi Refining. The tenth level of Qi Refining is already considered a minor expert, and such a person has a great chance of obtaining an Ascension spot. The eleventh level of Qi Refining is an even greater expert, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, their spot is guaranteed."

"These so-called experts possess at most high-grade magic weapons, and most of them only have mid- to low-grade magic weapons on their hands."

"In addition, they are all in their twenties or thirties, too young. Those people have only studied magic for ten or twenty years, some even only a few years."

For example, someone like him. "And most of those challengers in the ring lack renowned instructors and are figuring things out on their own..."

Han Li paused for a moment before continuing:
“On the contrary, those who have participated in the Crimson Trial in the past are quite different.”

"Most of them are at the twelfth or thirteenth level of Qi Refining, with very few at the tenth or eleventh level. If they are, they are extremely rare."

"Moreover, most of these people are veterans who have cultivated and studied magic for many years. The older ones may be seventy or eighty years old."

In the cultivation world, where cultivators abound, the elderly are not a vulnerable group.

They often become more ferocious and aggressive with age.

"Furthermore, as far as I know, the elites of the seven sects are not lacking in those who possess top-tier magical artifacts."

"Some seed-level experts even possess more than one or two top-tier magic weapons!"

"They even possess powerful weapons like talismans!"

"Considering that they have been practicing for many years, studying techniques in the transmission pavilions of various sects for many years, and have countless experiences fighting against cultivators of the same level!"

"in this way…"

"Whether it's cultivation level and magical artifacts, spell experience, or talismans and talismanic treasures, they are far superior by more than just a few levels?"

"It is no exaggeration to say that no cultivator who participates in the Crimson Trial should be underestimated."

Most of the elites could have made it into the top fifty in the Yellow Maple Valley Sect Competition.

Seed-level experts, and even more ferocious individuals who rank in the top ten or even the top five in the competition!
To maximize his chances of survival during the trials, he should ideally possess the foundation and strength to be among the top five in the sect's grand competition.

For example, Chen Qiaoshan, the eldest son of the Chen family.

He appears gentle and refined, yet possesses the fighting prowess of one of the top three in the Yellow Maple Valley competition, capable of single-handedly suppressing two seed-level experts.

"Finally, there's the threat of demonic beasts within the forbidden area..."

This point should not be overlooked.

Upon hearing this, Dong Xuan'er was immediately surprised and said:

"Since you know all this, why did you still go?"

She was surprised by Han Li's level of understanding of the Blood Trial.

What's even more surprising is that Han Li, knowing full well the dangers involved, still gritted his teeth and participated in the trial.

Are you tired of living?
"Uncle-Master, I am different from you. I have no choice but to compete." Han Li said this with a smile.

But in Dong Xuan'er's eyes, it was full of bitterness.

He wanted to continue trying to dissuade her, but then something came to his mind, and he was momentarily speechless.

"Is there really no other way?"

Despite their vastly different social standing, they are still mostly friends in private.

Moreover, her gratitude towards Han Li only intensified after she reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Only after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage can one truly understand the vast difference between the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages, and realize how naive one's tricks were during the Qi Refining stage.

Those former suitors, those so-called Qi Refining stage elites, what difference is there between them and larger ants in her eyes now? She alone could easily defeat at least five or six of them, and victory was only a matter of time. What kind of twisted pleasure would it take to waste time toying with those utterly insignificant ants?
When her understanding undergoes a significant change, how could she not be moved by Han Li's earnest advice and the provocation of the bet back then?
He was a truly kind and honest person who did not covet her beauty or try to climb the social ladder by relying on her and her master.

They are friends worth getting to know better.

Right now, this friend is determined to participate in the secret realm trial known as "blood-red" at the bottom of the seven sects. What should she do?

You can't persuade them otherwise.

Can only…

They need to find a way to improve Han Li's strength.

"There are still more than six months left, which is enough time to prepare some things for him."

...

Han Li never imagined that Dong Xuan'er would do anything for him.

In his view, they were just ordinary friends, merely nodding acquaintances and exchanging favors.

But he overlooked the fact that there had only been the master and disciple on Hongying Mountain for many years. As a third person who suddenly barged into their world, how could he not be valued if he was not disliked or resisted by the two women?
His intrusion had already changed many things.

The intervention, especially when Dong Xuan'er's mind was still unsettled, had the greatest impact.
