Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

Having already entered the Qi Refining stage, Han Li began to plan his next cultivation path.

First, due to his inherent spiritual talent, even with the basic Longevity Technique, his cultivation speed wouldn't be very fast. Moreover, several months wouldn't allow him to make any further progress. Taking everything into consideration, Han Li decided to first refine his essence into qi to enhance his internal magical power.

Secondly, thanks to the Earth Spirit Fruit, he doesn't need to worry about the recovery of his essence in the short term. However, in the long run, it's not worthwhile to use the Earth Spirit Fruit to recover essence. If he could refine the Essence Pill, the problem of slow essence recovery would be solved.

However, in addition to the Earth Spirit Fruit, several other rare materials are needed to successfully refine this Essence Pill.

He currently has three Earth Spirit Fruits. He can consume at most one, and use the remaining two to refine Essence Pills. If all goes well, these two Earth Spirit Fruits should be enough to refine over a dozen Essence Pills, which will significantly increase his magical power. He will then dedicate the rest of his time to diligent cultivation, striving to break through to the second level of Qi Refining as soon as possible.

Once I obtain the fragments of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, I will find a secluded place to refine that wisp of innate Yin and Yang energy.

Next, he'll consider joining one of the five major sects. But that will probably have to wait until he wins the Ascension Tournament. Otherwise, with Han Li's pseudo-spiritual root talent, he won't even be able to get past the gates of the five major sects, let alone join them.

As for supernatural abilities and techniques, through his accumulation over these lifetimes, he had already thoroughly investigated the secrets and supernatural abilities of all the major sects. In this life, Han Li pondered for a moment and decisively removed the Golden Sword Sect from his selection list. Because he did not possess a golden spiritual root, joining it rashly would have the opposite effect, greatly slowing down his cultivation speed.

On the contrary, the Fire Gate is more in line with Han Li's requirements.

As far as he knew, there were many powerful strange flames in the human realm, such as the Nine Heavens Tribulation Flame, the Phoenix Spirit Demon Flame, and the Extreme Yin Cold Flame. These flames contained a trace of the power of law, and were rare treasures even in the spirit realm.

Most importantly, these flames, besides their destructive high temperatures associated with fire, often possess other elemental attributes. When these elements interact and trigger, the power of the divine ability can be multiplied. With this amplified power, using sword-based divine abilities or other types of divine abilities becomes significantly more effective.

The main reason why no one in the mortal realm can subdue these strange flames is that they contain a trace of the fundamental laws of fire. To attempt to subdue them rashly would likely burn even a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage to ashes. If it weren't for the assistance of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, Han Li would never have dared to even consider taking advantage of these strange flames.

Such rare treasures are extremely difficult to find, and this was his first time attempting to subdue one. Lacking experience, he could only wait until after he reached the Core Formation stage. Otherwise, with his current Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivation, even with the assistance of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, he would be absolutely unable to subdue it. Moreover, subduing the strange fire would greatly enhance his comprehension of the Law of Fire, making it an invaluable asset.

The thought of being empowered by numerous different flames made Han Li feel excited.

As for the supernatural abilities he would cultivate during the Qi Refining stage, he had already thought them through.

Luo Yan Step, Light Body Technique, Sword Flight, and Water Escape Technique are used for escaping; Qi Gathering Technique, Sword Intent Accumulation, and Sword Qi Condensation are used for attacking enemies; Defensive and Recovery Methods include Longevity Guide and Green Wood Shield; Due to the limitations of the Qi Refining stage, some powerful defensive methods are difficult to use, so Han Li mainly uses offense as defense.

Of course, you can also prepare some pills and talismans.

Making full use of everything available, accumulating strength before unleashing it, and planning carefully before acting – this is the path he intends to take.

When the disciples from within the sect came to their door the next day, Han Li and Hao Le were led to the sect's main hall.

After a night of investigation and confrontation, with the help and cooperation of Gongsun Ji, the matter was indeed basically clarified. Han Li and Hao Le were greatly rewarded for their efforts. This day was destined to be a turning point in the rise of the Xuanjian Sect.

Based on the confessions of the three individuals, the investigation within the organization uncovered a large number of spies and agents, effectively eliminating a potential threat.

Just as Sect Leader Wang was about to promote Han Li to an inner disciple, Han Li decisively refused. He needed money more than any promotion. So, Han Li bluntly stated his intentions. In this way, he obtained a large sum of money, a full fifty taels, which made Hao Le, who was standing nearby, extremely envious.

During this time, Han Li used the silver he had just received to buy some Qi Forging Powder, intending to use the last of his Nine Yang Grass to make a few Qi Forging Pills for Hao Le.

Especially after Hao Le learned about the miraculous effects of the Meridian Forging Pill, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to drag Han Li to Linhe Market right now.

Han Li shook his head, then instructed that the matter of the Meridian Forging Pill and the internal energy cultivation method should not be easily revealed to outsiders, lest it bring about their own demise.

Hao Le patted his chest to assure him that he would never tell anyone and that he could rest assured.

And just like that, time flew by, and several months passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Han Li and Hao Le either went to Linhe Market to drink and eat meat, or they diligently cultivated in the Hundred Herbs Garden.

During this period, Han Li first refined a Meridian Forging Pill for Hao Liao, and then found an opportunity to send someone to deliver the silver in his hand to his parents in Jialing City.

At this time, Hao Le was already at the height of his power within the sect. At only seventeen years old, he had opened up his Ren and Du meridians, becoming one of the few second-rate masters. He already had more than thirty people under his command, and he was clearly the leader of the group.

During these same months, several large-scale battles broke out between the Haiya Gang and the Xuanjian Sect. Hao Le, burdened with a deep-seated blood feud, threw himself into the battle without hesitation, killing many of the Haiya Gang's martial arts masters and making great contributions to the sect. All of this was witnessed by Sect Leader Wang.

As for Han Li, he never took action. Instead, he continued to study medicine in the herb garden. With his superb medical skills, he saved many injured disciples and gradually earned the title of "Divine Physician Han". During this time, Han Li visited famous mountains and rivers within a hundred miles of the Xuanjian Sect, pretending to be looking for fragments of the Black Disc, but in reality, he was collecting various spiritual herbs that could be used to refine pills.

Although he was still only at the first level of Qi Refining, his magical power was far greater than before, making him at least 10-20% stronger than other cultivators of the same level. After returning from his travels, Han Li first exchanged some herbs with Gongsun Ji for a first-level pill furnace, and then immediately began to go into seclusion to refine pills.

The pills he refined were mainly first-tier Rejuvenation Pills and Qi-restoring Pills. These two types of pills can quickly restore qi, blood, and mana, and are relatively common pills during the Qi Refining stage. The spiritual herbs used to refine these pills can be easily obtained from Jiuhua Mountain and Qingping Mountain. After refining more than a dozen batches, which took almost half a month, Han Li finally obtained three bottles of various pills, totaling nearly sixty pills.

Afterwards, Han Li refined a large number of Three Yang Pills, Yuan-Strengthening Pills, and Detoxification Pills, intending to leave them for Hao Le and his parents.

Finally, half a month later, Han Li received a communication jade talisman.

"Fellow Daoist Han, the appointed time has come, so I shall take my leave now. If you have indeed gained something, remember to come to the Gongsun residence in Yunxi City to find me. I will be waiting for you at any time!"

Looking at the communication jade talisman before him, Han Li, who was in seclusion, slowly stood up, as if deep in thought, or perhaps reminiscing about something. He then picked up the paper and pen beside him and began to write.

Han Li flipped his palm, and several bottles of pills appeared on the table. After doing all this, Han Li raised his head, looked at the moonlight in the sky, and his figure gradually dissipated, merging into the darkness.
