Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

The waterfall in front of us faces south and is embraced by mountains on both sides. Although it is located on the edge of a spiritual vein, its spiritual energy is not much lower than other places due to its feng shui. It is just that it is too far away from Yifeng City and its location is remote, which is why no one has ever paid attention to it.

In addition, due to the wind from the waterfall, even if the fog is thick at night, it will not obscure this place at all. Instead, it will gather the spiritual energy from all around. If a spirit-gathering array is set up with this favorable time and place, it will definitely be a quiet place for cultivation with a good environment.

Thinking of this, Han Li nodded, his eyes gleaming with azure light. The spiritual energy here was rich in water and wood elements, perfectly matching the Longevity Technique he cultivated. It was indeed a good place for seclusion.

With a thought, a small crimson sword shot out from his body, instantly transforming into three or five sword shadows that swirled around him. Under Han Li's divine sense control, they went straight towards a hollowed-out cliff face below the waterfall.

The instant the lightning-struck wooden sword struck the rock, a large amount of soil, rocks, and stones fell from it, crashing into the pool below the waterfall. The sound of the rushing water was so loud that it masked the astonishing impact, causing Han Li to breathe a sigh of relief and immediately increase the flow of his spiritual energy.

About an hour later, a very well hidden cave entrance appeared below the waterfall.

The cave is located two-thirds of the way above the waterfall, and is completely hidden by the flowing water.

With a flick of his palm, several array flags appeared in his hand.

This was a gift from the manager of Yifeng City when I purchased the cave dwelling. Although it was only the lowest level of the maze array, even a cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage would find it extremely difficult to detect anything without careful observation.

As several array flags landed at the cave entrance, a hazy blue light enveloped the entire entrance. A quick scan with divine sense revealed that the original cave entrance had vanished completely.

Han Li's sleeves billowed, unleashing a surge of magical power comparable to that of a third-level Qi Refining cultivator. The array plate in his hand slowly rotated, and the restrictions formed by the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches and the Tai Chi Eight Trigrams reinforced the center of the array before disappearing.

Seeing this, Han Li nodded.

After confirming that there was no one else around, he cast a water-repelling spell on himself, then leaped into the waterfall, transforming into a streak of green light.

Upon entering the newly opened cave, Han Li's hand flashed with light, and a series of azure luminous pearls floated in mid-air. With a wave of his hand, they flew in all directions of the cave, like twinkling stars, emitting a soft light that illuminated the entire cave.

Han Li did not stop and continued walking along the damp passage deeper into the cave.

This passage doesn't extend along the riverbed, but rather extends towards the rocks on either side. The riverbed below is too damp to be habitable without a water-repelling formation. The reason the entrance is located beneath the waterfall is primarily to utilize the natural barrier of the flowing water.

After walking about ten or twenty feet, a small stone chamber came into view.

The stone chamber was very simple, containing only a platform, a stone bed, and a few stone stools. On the side closer to the river, Han Li had specially cultivated a small medicinal field, intending to use it to grow Qingling Grass.

The herb Qingling grass thrives in dark and damp environments, and this place is just right.

Back when he was at the Xuanjian Sect, he left behind some seeds, which unexpectedly came in very handy today.

However, to meet the requirements for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, in addition to the medicinal herbs being fifty years old, a trace of wood spirit energy is also needed.

Aside from a few rare trees that contain wood attributes, only wood-attribute demon cores possess this wood spirit energy.

A demon beast capable of condensing a demon core within its body must be at least a third-tier demon beast, a terrifying beast capable of contending with a Foundation Establishment cultivator. It seems I can only try my luck at the market later.

After doing all this, Han Li waved his hand, and objects of varying sizes appeared in the cave.

This included both everyday items like bed sheets and blankets, and cultivation tools like magical treasures and spirit stones. To be on the safe side, Han Li naturally wouldn't carry all his belongings with him; otherwise, if something unexpected happened, all his possessions would end up benefiting someone else.

At this moment, he was holding two or three seemingly ordinary, even somewhat worn-out, wooden boxes firmly in his hands.

These boxes contained the remaining six hundred-odd low-grade spirit stones, along with the Purple Crow Wine and fragments of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc. The Six Paths Reincarnation Disc fragments, in particular, were crucial items for him in the Spirit Realm and even the True Immortal Realm, and could not be lost.

Han Li placed these boxes in hidden locations around the cave, and affixed them with concealment talismans and trigger talismans. If anyone broke in and touched these things, he would be able to detect it immediately, even if he was thousands of miles away.

Six hours had passed since he finished setting up the spirit-gathering array given to him by Yifeng City, and he was now exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Instead of resting, Han Li sat cross-legged on the platform, intending to refine the pure spiritual energy contained in the Purple Crow Wine within his body.

If he didn't refine it, the spiritual energy would automatically dissipate from his body, and he wasn't willing to waste this opportunity to greatly increase his cultivation.

Han Li sat there for three months.

During these three months, with the help of the Purple Crow Wine and the Spirit Gathering Array, he successfully broke through to the third level of Qi Refining, which is the peak of the early stage of Qi Refining, and he is only one step away from the middle stage of Qi Refining.

This Purple Crow Wine truly lives up to its reputation as a spiritual wine that greatly benefits even those in the Foundation Establishment stage. Without its help, it would have taken him at least a year to break through to the third level of Qi Refining. With so much time saved, he can use that time to do many more things.

As for the remaining two bottles of Purple Crow Wine, he planned to save them for later consumption.

Han Li slowly stood up, went to the herb garden inside the stone chamber, and bent down to examine it.

Looking at the tender sprouts in front of him, Han Li nodded. After watering them with spirit liquid made from ground spirit stones, he packed his bags and prepared to go to the market in Yifeng City to see if he could exchange them for some materials that would be useful for his breakthrough.

Although with his Yin-Yang Reincarnation Body, breaking through shouldn't be a problem, Han Li decided to take a long trip just to be on the safe side.

After taking two hundred spirit stones, Han Li stepped out of the cave. The sun was shining brightly outside, and perhaps because of the recent light rain, the air was exceptionally fresh. After taking two greedy breaths, Han Li was enveloped in a hazy blue light, obscuring his face. A crimson wind sword appeared beneath his feet, transforming into a streak of light and shooting away.

When Han Li arrived in Yifeng City, it was already evening.

As a large city where mortals and cultivators live together, Yifeng City does not have the anti-flight restrictions of Wuling City. Occasionally, a few streaks of light can be seen flashing by, but the people in the city seem oblivious to this and take it for granted.

At this moment, Han Li was walking on the east street of Yifeng City, in a cultivator trading market called Tianhai Street. The street was bustling with cultivators, and even as evening approached, there was no sign of them leaving.

"Fellow Daoists, come and take a look! My little shop is opening today, and all items on the stall are 20% off. Don't miss it!"

"The basic cultivation technique for the Qi Refining stage, the Everlasting Spring Technique, is suitable for cultivators with wood-attribute spiritual roots! Are you interested, fellow Daoist? How about this? It only costs fifteen low-grade spirit stones. What do you think?"

"Hey, hey, don't go!"

......

Looking at the bustling scene before him, Han Li shook his head.

Items sold at stalls like these are usually not of high quality, often with minor flaws, otherwise the prices wouldn't be so low. After lingering for a while, Han Li followed the flow of people, walking north along the street.

He planned to go to the Wanbaolou branch in Yifeng City to see if he could purchase some rare and precious natural materials that could help Qi Refining cultivators break through their bottlenecks. These kinds of natural and precious materials are extremely rare, and it is very difficult for ordinary Qi Refining cultivators to obtain them. Even if they are lucky enough to get them, they would keep them for their own use and would not easily trade them. Perhaps only a large and wealthy place like Wanbaolou could possibly obtain them.

Han Li only paused briefly at everything he encountered along the way before leaving silently.

Just as Han Li was pondering, a pair of rough, large hands, like withered wood, grabbed him.

Looking to the side, Han Li saw an old man dressed as a Taoist squatting to the side, with some talismans and magical artifacts placed in front of him. At this moment, the old man was staring at him without blinking, which made Han Li feel very uneasy.
