Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

"It's my treat today, let's have a good meal together, brother," Han Li said with a big laugh.

"Hey, what a surprise! Brother Han, who's always so stingy, why did you suddenly decide to treat us to dinner today?"

During this period, Han Li basically sent all of his monthly salary back home, which resulted in him not having much money on him.

"Isn't this to repay you, kid! Are you going or not? If not, I'll go by myself."

"Go, go, why wouldn't we go! Let's go, let's drink until we drop!" Hao Le laughed loudly as well.

And so, the two greenhorns, carrying their weapons, headed toward the location of Linheji.

"Come on, Han Li, what's wrong?"

Han Li, who was walking on the road, suddenly stopped and looked behind him with a puzzled expression.

"It's nothing, I guess I was just imagining things." Han Li shook his head, a flash of blue light appearing in his eyes, but he quickly shook his head again and strode forward, ignoring it.

Returning to Linhe Village and the Yuelai Inn, Han Li felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

After today, he will leave this place for the vast world of cultivation. However, he is reluctant to part with Hao Le after spending so much time together. Therefore, he has not known how to say goodbye, so he can only say goodbye in this way. Han Li is not a coy person, but even humans have feelings.

The thought that they might never meet again filled Han Li with a strange sadness. Cultivators may seem to possess great supernatural powers and live forever, but in the end, they are still human. As long as they are human, they will have emotions and desires, and they will be bound by their own minds. These emotions are not something that you can simply get rid of.

But if there were no emotions and desires, what would be the difference between humans and plants?

Soon, the waiter brought out a large table of dishes.

At this moment, Han Li looked at the guy in front of him, who was talking loudly and drinking and eating meat, with slightly reddened eyes, and couldn't help but smile.

"Han Li...good brother!...Drink, keep drinking!"

After a hearty meal, Han Li helped Hao Le walk towards the Xuanjian Sect. At that moment, the sunset painted the sky with a fiery orange-red veil, enveloping the entire mountain peak. Various halos of light pierced through the clouds and refracted across the mountains, creating a beautiful scene.

By this time, Hao Le had sobered up considerably, and the two stopped to admire the rare and beautiful scenery.

Just then, a dozen white beams suddenly flew out from a dark forest nearby, heading straight for Han Li and Hao Le.

Han Li, who had been completely absorbed in the beautiful scenery and remained motionless, suddenly opened his eyes. A flash of blue light appeared in his pupils, and he instantly drew the Frost Sword from behind him, repelling all the flying darts that were shot at him. For a moment, the sound of clanging darts could not be heard.

"What?! Who dares to ambush you, Master Hao?!"

Hao Le was furious when he saw the dart clearly. He staggered forward and was about to rush into the woods when Han Li stopped him.

Three or five men in black, armed with swords and knives, slowly emerged from the forest, making no attempt to conceal their murderous intent.

"Attack!" The leader of the men in black snorted coldly, offering no explanation, and immediately attacked. With a powerful stride, his immense true energy suddenly erupted, like a tiger pouncing from the forest.

"Leave this man to me, you deal with the others," Han Li said coldly. He quietly activated his Body Tempering Technique, and a powerful aura emanated from him as he approached the leading black-clad man.

The Flying Willow Sword Technique was unleashed, clashing fiercely with the opponent's sharp saber technique, instantly sending sparks flying.

"A top-tier expert!" The black-clad man, forced back by a single move, was filled with disbelief. Before he could react, a long sword gleaming with cold light brushed past him, nearly piercing him through.

The burly man in black was drenched in cold sweat, his face ashen. If it weren't for his years of battlefield experience and his body's instincts reacting in advance, he would likely have been killed by that single blow. Just who was this Han Li? Why did he know their sect's secret technique? Could it be... that old guy taught him it? Otherwise, how could it be explained?

Han Li was somewhat surprised to see that his opponent had dodged his sure-kill sword strike.

You must know that he had used the Luo Yan Step technique to enhance that sword strike, making it incredibly fast—a speed unmatched by anyone else in the martial world. Hence, he was somewhat surprised.

At this moment, Han Li's lips curled up slightly, and with a hand seal, his figure shot out like a ghost once again. With the Luo Yan Step and the Flying Willow Sword Technique, even the strongest man in black could not withstand it, and several bloody wounds appeared on his body.

Seeing that Han Li hadn't suffered any losses, Hao Le, who was fiercely fighting nearby, breathed a sigh of relief. Han Li's speed at this moment was simply too fast, many times faster than when they sparred earlier. It seemed that Han Li had held back then, otherwise Hao Le would never have been able to withstand even one move from him.

"You, are you a human or a ghost?" The burly man in black was beginning to regret his actions; perhaps he shouldn't have provoked Han Li in the first place.

Judging from the strength the other party has shown so far, he is qualified to compete with the top masters of that time. Originally, he wanted to rely on his first-class master strength to completely eliminate this major threat here. However, he did not expect that the other party had hidden his strength. He was no match for this person!

Thinking of this, the burly man in black made a snap decision and used his lightness skill to escape from the place.

But now, with his killing intent already aroused, how could Han Li let this man leave? He raised his Frost Sword and immediately followed, arriving behind the burly man in the blink of an eye. With a quick twist around the man's neck, the man's head easily rolled to the ground.

Upon witnessing this scene, the other men in black felt their mouths go dry.

You have to understand, that person was a renowned top-tier martial arts master, yet he was killed by a boy who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old in just a few rounds. This is simply unbelievable.

Upon seeing Han Li looking at them, the expressions of the men in black changed, and they scattered immediately, no longer caring about their fight with Hao Le.

But how could their speed compare to Han Li's, a cultivator? Within a few rounds, they were all captured. Originally, Han Li wanted to eliminate them completely, but after careful consideration, he decisively abandoned this idea and only captured them without killing them.

Although he was about to leave Xuanjian Sect, Hao Le would be staying here for a long time. If he could extract some information from these men in black, it would be more beneficial than harmful to both Xuanjian Sect and Hao Le.

"Han Li, you're amazing! You single-handedly defeated a top-tier expert and three top-tier second-tier experts. How did you do it?" Hao Le stared blankly at Han Li, circling him several times and looking him up and down as if he were getting to know him all over again.

"This fellow Daoist has been watching from the sidelines for quite some time. Why don't you come out and have a chat?"

Ignoring Hao Le's praise, Han Li turned to the side and his gaze fell on the dense forest not far away.

But no one responded for quite a while.

"Han Li, have you lost your mind? It's just the two of us, where is the third person?" Hao Le scratched his head, looking at Han Li with a puzzled expression.

No sooner had the words been spoken than a loud voice rang out.

"Hehe, I never expected that in just a few months, my young friend would have become a cultivator." A rumbling thunderous voice resounded, carrying an astonishing pressure of divine sense, causing even Han Li's expression to change.

As for Hao Le, who was standing to the side, he fainted without any resistance.

In the distance, a dazzling light flashed across the stone forest, revealing a man dressed in white, ethereal and otherworldly, standing with his hands behind his back. Upon seeing this man, Han Li's expression turned strange.

This person was none other than Elder Gongsun, Gongsun Ji, whom he had met once before.
