Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator
Chapter 2 Conch Town
Conch Town is a border town in the Zhao State south of Yongning Prefecture. The town is not large, with a total length of no more than a hundred zhang. It only takes a few minutes to walk from one end of the street to the other.
The main street is paved with bluestone slabs and runs from south to north through the entire street.
At the southernmost point of the town lies a sea area called Yin Ning Hai, where the water is so blue it's almost black. Standing on the shore, it looks like a pool of ink, giving off a sinister feeling.
In addition, a kind of spiritual herb called "Concentration Flower" grows in the sea.
This herb is one of the main ingredients for refining spiritual pills. People often obtain one or two plants by chance and sell them for a high price, which made Han Li, who was young, extremely envious.
At this moment, sitting in front of the port of Yin Ning Sea was a boy who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. The boy had dark skin and an extremely ordinary appearance. This person was none other than Han Li, who had been practicing the Body Tempering Technique for a month.
In the past month or so, he has mastered the Body Tempering Technique to a minor level and opened up several acupoints. He then began to go into the mountains to hunt wild animals and sell the animal hides and bones he obtained.
Of course, the cautious Han Li would never personally go and sell them, after all, at his age, people his age were still at home and had accomplished nothing.
If he were to sell them himself, it would be easy for people to notice something amiss, and the entire Conch Town would be in an uproar, which was something he didn't want to see.
Therefore, he went to the pass outside Conch Town in advance and waited for three days. He finally managed to intercept the passing caravans and handed over his goods to them to sell on his behalf. In this way, naturally no one suspected anything unusual about him.
At this moment, Han Li was sitting idly on a bluestone not far from the stall, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally fixed on the vendor. Anyone who didn't know better would think that the vendor had something he wanted!
"Han Li, it really is you! What are you doing here!"
Just as Han Li was pondering how to obtain the pills for cultivating the Body Tempering Technique, a slightly immature voice came from afar.
Looking closely, they saw two or three boys, around twelve or thirteen years old, walking together. They saw Han Li squatting in the distance and waved to him.
Han Li was extremely familiar with these three people; they were his best childhood playmates. Unfortunately, after he joined the Xuanjian Sect, their contact gradually decreased.
"I heard you ran into the Haiya Gang last time you went out. Are you alright?"
One of the young men in brocade robes spoke up.
This person's name is Hao Le, and he is fifteen years old this year, not much older than Han Li.
Hao Le's family runs a martial arts school, and his father, Hao Tian, is a renowned master in the town of Conch. Under the influence of this family environment, Hao Le learned some martial arts skills from a young age and was like the eldest brother among the children.
Rumor has it that Hao Tian once worked for the Xuanjian Sect, and his swordsmanship was unparalleled. His parents had gotten him into the sect through their connection to the Hao family.
"It's nothing, what could possibly happen to me?" Han Li shook his head and replied casually.
“I told you to learn kung fu with me before, but you wouldn’t listen. Now look what’s happened, you’re being bullied and you don’t even say a word.”
"If anything like this happens again, remember to call me. I'll get my dad, and we'll see who dares to bully you again!"
Hao Le smiled, then patted Han Li on the shoulder and said in a carefree manner.
"Hao Le, you've practiced martial arts since you were a child. Have you ever heard of the Meridian Forging Pill?" Han Li asked after a moment's thought.
"Forging Meridian Pill? Never heard of it. What's wrong?" Hao Le looked at him in confusion, then shook his head.
"It's nothing, just a casual question." A strange light flashed in Han Li's eyes as he shook his head, secretly calculating in his mind.
"Han Li, we've found a fun place, do you want to come with us?"
At this moment, Hao Le suddenly lowered his voice and said excitedly, looking at Han Li with anticipation in his eyes.
Han Li originally wanted to refuse, because he had too many things to do and simply couldn't spare the time to do these meaningless things.
But then I thought, defeating the ancients or the present is not something I can do by following the usual path. Perhaps trying a path I've never taken before might bring me some unexpected rewards.
Thinking of this, Han Li, who was about to say the word "refuse," actually swallowed it back and nodded instead.
Hao Le was overjoyed to receive a positive reply. He muttered something about going back to prepare, and then left with the children who were with him.
Han Li also took advantage of this time to get the money from selling the animal hide materials.
Soon, Hao Le, having finished packing, found Han Li again and invited him to go out and have fun.
Unable to refuse, Han Li could only chuckle dryly and then silently follow behind the group of children. It seemed the laughter and chatter along the way had nothing to do with him.
After leaving Conch Town, the group traveled west in a carriage, as the western part was the territory of the Xuanjian Sect, which was much safer than other places.
There was a natural spring over there, with warm and sweet water. If he wasn't mistaken, that was where they were going.
Sure enough, about half an hour later, Hao Le parted a bush and a pool of water several meters in size appeared before him.
Many of the visitors were visiting this place for the first time, and they immediately shouted excitedly.
"Han Li, why are you so calm? Have you been here before?" Hao Le asked, seeing Han Li's demeanor.
"I've never been here, but I've seen it from afar."
Han Li shook his head, his thoughts drifting away.
At that time, he had just condensed his Nascent Soul and become one of the few Nascent Soul stage cultivators in Yongning Prefecture. He had returned to his old home, and it was then that he used his divine sense to cover an area of tens of thousands of miles and discovered this natural spring.
However, to him at the time, it was just a small spring, nothing special.
Furthermore, with the Ningzhou Ancient Ruins about to open, he didn't linger and never returned until after his ascension to the Spirit Realm.
Upon hearing this, Hao Le muttered a few words, then without asking any more questions, he pulled Han Li to join the water-splashing frenzy.
Afterwards, the carriage departed from Xiaotan and visited several other interesting places along the way.
Like the previous springs, he had never been to these places before, but he had only briefly scanned them with his divine sense, so he was extremely familiar with them. This left his companions speechless with astonishment, and they all praised him for his extensive knowledge.
Only Han Li himself knew the reason behind it, and he couldn't help but chuckle bitterly.
When the carriage stopped again, they had returned to the pass outside Conch Town.
This pass is called Luanshipo (Rough Rock Slope). There are very few passable sections in Luanshipo, because it is no easy task to carve out a road for horse-drawn carriages in such a rocky place.
At that time, with the help of the Xuanjian Sect and the entire Conch Town, it took nearly a year to pave this stone road.
With this road open, both communication with the Xuanjian Sect and trade with other towns will be much smoother.
As Han Li admired the beautiful scenery around him, he chatted casually with his companions in the carriage. Suddenly, the leading carriage stopped, followed by a loud voice.
"You guys in the car, get out here right now! I'm Qiu Hai from the Haiya Gang!"
"The Haiya Gang! You're from the Haiya Gang!" Upon hearing this, the coachman outside was immediately terrified and lost his composure.
"Get everyone out of the car right now and hand over all your gold and silver jewelry. Maybe I'll be in a good mood and spare your lives!"
Outside the carriage, a scarred man spoke menacingly.
