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

Chapter 56 List
After that, Han Li ignored what others were doing and started making his own plans.

First, they took stock of their own belongings.

[Spirit Stones]: Medium grade, 20 stones. Low grade, 37 stones.

Clearly, rapid advancement in cultivation comes at a price, and the consumption of spirit stones is no small amount. Otherwise, he would be lucky to advance two levels in a year or so, and would be at most stable at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

[Medicines]: One and a half bottles of Huanglong Pill and Jinsui Pill, three bottles of Hongyu Pill, half a bottle of Lingsui Pill, four Xueling Pills, and two bottles of painkillers.

The first three types are no longer useful. The Spirit Marrow Pill and Blood Spirit Pill can still help him improve his magic power, but unfortunately, the number of pills and the remaining time are running out.

[Talismans]: One low-level intermediate-grade Storm Talisman, nine high-level beginner-grade talismans, twenty-one mid-level beginner-grade talismans, and over thirty low-level beginner-grade talismans.

[Magic Items]: A set of top-tier Azure Dragon Chains, two Azure Leaf Flying Magic Items, one Blazing Sword, one Cold Moon Blade, and several mid-to-low-tier magic items. Also included is a Qin family genealogy, a fragment of a silk handkerchief magic item, and a Golden Bamboo Talisman Brush. Two low-tier Ten Directions Storage Bags and one Spirit Beast Bag (Zhang Tie, the Soul Qu Hun, is still inside).

[Talisman Treasure]: One Gray Sword Talisman Treasure.

[Puppet]: Four leopard puppets.

[Formation Flag]: A set of small-scale maze formations.

Also.

Cultivation level: Qi Refining Level 12.

Exercise:

The Azure Origin Sword Manual, third level.
His "Blinking Sword Technique" became increasingly refined.

The speed at which one draws a sword while wielding it is many times faster than the speed at which one uses magic power.

"Luoyan Yufengbu" is becoming increasingly agile and swift.

With the "Lightness Talisman" and "Swiftness Talisman," his movement speed can be even faster.

Elephant Armor Technique: Eighth Level.

Indeed, he had never given up cultivating the Body Refining Technique over the years. A considerable amount of spirit stones had been invested in this mortal body-refining method. The results were quite remarkable; upon reaching the seventh level, he gained the strength of over a thousand jin in one arm. Now, at the eighth level, he had achieved a strength of two thousand jin in one arm.

More importantly, this technique greatly enhanced his physical strength, allowing him to perform the Luo Yan Yu Feng Bu (a martial arts technique) better and for longer periods.

"What areas can I strive for improvement and enhancement?"

...

Once he compiled this list, the shortcomings became immediately apparent.

"We need to prepare some antidotes, healing pills, and pills that quickly restore mana..."

The forbidden area is rife with poisonous miasma and venomous monsters, so it is necessary to prepare antidotes in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

The healing pills were also provided as a precaution.

Furthermore, the recovery speed provided by mid-grade spirit stones alone may not always be sufficient, so it's also necessary to prepare some pills specifically for quickly restoring mana. Actually, Blood Spirit Pills and Spirit Marrow Pills are quite adequate, but there are even better options.

"We need to find a way to get a few more intermediate-level talismans; we have to get past the Ink Dragon hurdle."

"In terms of magical artifacts, we lack one top-tier offensive magical artifact and one top-tier purely defensive magical artifact."

The Azure Dragon Chains are indeed excellent, capable of both offense and defense, and can also bind enemies. However, their offensive power is inferior to that of pure, top-tier offensive magic weapons, and their defensive power is inferior to that of pure, top-tier shield magic weapons. The main issue is that their speed is limited by his magical power cultivation level, making them slower than flying swords, and it is difficult to truly lock down a target.

therefore.

Although it is a masterpiece, in his hands, its offensive and defensive capabilities are only at the level of an ordinary top-tier magic weapon.

Of course, once the target is locked on, the annihilation can be done in an instant.

That's really fierce.

"As for talismans, there's no need to force it; the Gray Sword Talisman is sufficient."

Because he went to beg for alms from Master Jin Guang many years in advance, the spiritual energy within the gray sword talisman was preserved to a considerable degree. It wasn't brand new, but at least 60-70% new. As a result, he could use it for a long time, and its power was also higher than the original trajectory because he was at the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

Of course, obtaining another talisman would be ideal. "Regarding the puppet, we don't insist that Young Master Lin provide one comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator..."

Even if that guy has a Foundation Establishment stage puppet, he wouldn't easily show it to others.

Not to mention lending it to him.

Finally, there's the aspect of cultivation techniques...

"If I could get another Foundation Establishment Pill, it would be perfect."

If he obtains another one, he can continue to improve his cultivation before entering the Crimson Forbidden Land.

A single Foundation Establishment Pill certainly wouldn't be enough to help him establish his foundation, but it would definitely allow him to advance to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining. With more than double the mana, plus a significant boost to his divine sense and five senses, the benefits would be self-evident.

Finally, he also needed to obtain more detailed maps and information about the forbidden area!

He needs to know the terrain well and get the golden treasure chest and its contents before someone else does!
"By the way, I need to get a bigger storage bag..."

His current storage bag is not enough to hold a golden treasure chest that is more than ten feet long.

...

Having finalized the plan, Han Li naturally proceeded accordingly.

In his spare time, he began to come into contact with cultivators who had once walked out of the Crimson Forbidden Land alive.

Some of these cultivators are still stuck in the Qi Refining stage.

Some, by sheer luck, had already established their foundations many years ago.

When these people returned to the sect, they reported many things about the forbidden area, which allowed the sect's specialists in this area to compile a lot of useful information. However, it is hard to guarantee that there was no concealment among them.

Therefore, he tried to "knock on the door" one by one using the spirit stones.

The effect is good.

The expenditure of over twenty low-grade spirit stones allowed him to gather much important information that the sect had not shared, or rather, information that even the Foundation Establishment stage managers in charge of the Blood Trials were largely unaware of. This enabled him to identify several underground stone palaces containing top-tier Level 1 "Black Scale Pythons."

Not only that, he also tried to contact Qi Refining stage elites like Zhong Wu from Spirit Beast Mountain, but unfortunately, his efforts were in vain. It's unclear whether the likes of Zhong Wu have any interest in cooperating.

Regarding magical artifacts, he visited the Wanbaolou store in Huangfeng Valley a few days ago and met with Tian Buli, the store manager.

Speaking of the market town in Huangfeng Valley, it is quite famous within the Yue Kingdom, far more prosperous than the markets of the other major sects. This is due to its special geographical location and the friendly relations between the two countries.

It turns out that the Taiyue Mountains in Jianzhou of Yue Kingdom are adjacent to Yuanwu Kingdom, and the two countries are not only not hostile, but have a harmonious relationship. This has led many cultivators from Yuanwu Kingdom to come to Huangfeng Valley in Yue Kingdom to trade goods, bringing many special items from Yuanwu Kingdom to the area. Without other channels, independent cultivators and cultivation families in Yue Kingdom have to come to Huangfeng Valley to purchase these items.

With people coming and going, commerce naturally flourishes.

He came here earlier wanting the Xuan Tie Flying Shield, the Golden Cicada Mother-Child Blade, and the Heavenly Thunder Seed that the original owner had obtained.

Xuan Tie Flying Sky Shield: A top-tier defensive magic weapon, very tough.

Golden Cicada Mother-Child Blade: A top-tier offensive magic weapon, extremely sharp.

Heavenly Thunderstones were forged hundreds of years ago by a mysterious high-level cultivator who extracted and condensed lightning from the heavens and earth. Each one possessed immense power; even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would face a near-certain death if confronted head-on, most likely being annihilated on the spot. There were originally seventy-three, but only a handful remain today.

Unfortunately, apart from the Heavenly Thunder Stone, which he obtained for four hundred spirit stones, the other two magical artifacts have not yet been collected by Wanbaolou. Or rather, they haven't been consigned here by cultivators who are "timed" to sell a batch of items at high prices.

As for the golden brick talisman treasure that appeared in the original trajectory?

Wanbaolou has already been acquired.

But it's too expensive; he can't afford it.

That thing costs 4,500 spirit stones.

He currently only has 1,500 spirit stones on him at most.

I won't force it.
