Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

After consuming cultivation pills and essence pills in succession, Han Li's cultivation has improved, and it seems that breaking through to the fifth level of Qi Refining will only take one or two months.

Although Han Li's cultivation level was still at the fourth level of Qi Refining, his aura was more than half a percent more mellow than before.

Unfortunately, the Earth Spirit Fruit used to refine the Essence Pill had been completely used up; otherwise, the magical power and spiritual energy in his body could have been even more refined.

After a month of cultivation, Han Li slowly stood up, his gaze falling on the coffin in front of him.

For some reason, this coffin always gave him a feeling of unease, and even when he used his divine sense to explore it, he could not see what was inside.

Han Li cast a lightness spell on himself, and with a light touch of his toes, he gracefully landed beside the coffin. He began to carefully examine the array runes around the coffin and closely observe the characters engraved on it.

Han Li frowned as he looked at the mysterious ancient characters carved on the coffin.

This is actually the script of the demon race in the spirit realm. Why would something from the spirit realm appear in the mortal realm?

Han Li tried to open the coffin, but he couldn't budge it even an inch despite using all his strength. It should be noted that Han Li cultivated a body tempering technique, making his physical body far stronger than that of ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators. In addition, he also possessed the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Body and the Giant Strength Talisman, yet he still couldn't open the coffin, which made him somewhat surprised and uncertain.

"Could there be something fishy about this coffin?" Han Li's eyes narrowed slightly.

Han Li frowned as he recalled the corpse-raising method of the Heshan Sect.

Looking back now, Ma Laojiu's words before leaving didn't mention this coffin, so he must be hiding something. An ordinary person might have easily overlooked it, but as Han Li, who had reincarnated nine times, coupled with what happened in Conch Town, he had to be cautious.

Thinking of this, Han Li slowly stood up, opened the cave door, and flew straight towards the cave where Ma Laojiu was.

"May I ask where Fellow Daoist Ma is? I have important matters to discuss with you."

Guided by the disciples of the Heshan Sect, Han Li arrived at a hidden magic array and called out into it.

About 35 minutes later, the formation surrounding the cave began to ripple, and then a man dressed in a dark green flying fish robe with a hooked neck emerged from it. This man was none other than Ma Laojiu.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Hao, it's been a while since we last met. Your cultivation has improved even more. May I ask what brings you here today?"

Upon sensing Han Li's aura, Ma Laojiu's eyes flashed with a strange light before he quickly disappeared.

"I would like to ask about the Soul Refining Banner. The small black banner that Fellow Daoist Ma used in his battle against Du Lao Er was the Soul Refining Banner, wasn't it? Its power is indeed extraordinary."

Han Li cupped his hands in greeting but did not immediately inquire about the blood coffin. He knew that if the other party truly had ulterior motives, asking directly might alert them.

Therefore, it would be better to proceed step by step and proceed slowly, which would also reduce vigilance.

“That’s right, what I’m using is the Soul Refining Banner.” A hint of pride flashed in Ma Laojiu’s eyes.

Han Li's heart stirred, and he asked, "I wonder what the origin of this Soul Refining Banner is? It has such power."

Ma Laojiu chuckled and said, "This Soul Refining Banner is something passed down by Ancestor Yan of my Heshan Sect. Its refining method is extremely complicated."

"The main ingredient for refining is a material called 'Ten Thousand Soul Crystal'. This material only grows in places with abundant Yin spiritual energy, such as mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Apart from the Heavenly Demon Eye, it can only grow in the Blood Forbidden Land of our Heshan Sect."

"The outer shell of the Myriad Soul Crystal resembles a cicada pupa. By incorporating various auxiliary materials and using secret methods to refine the Soul Banner, it can collect and absorb souls. Combined with my Heshan's unique Ghost Path Divine Power, its power is terrifyingly extraordinary."

"The Myriad Soul Crystal itself is a rare material. Cultivators can enhance their physical body and blood circulation by consuming it. Unlike ordinary spiritual medicines, the Myriad Soul Crystal is suitable for direct consumption. If it is refined into pills, its efficacy will be greatly reduced."

Han Li nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

"Fellow Daoist Ma, I have another request. I wonder... if you possess the method for refining the Myriad Soul Banner? If so, I am willing to pay a high price to purchase it," Han Li said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"Hehe, I do indeed have the method for refining the Soul Refining Banner, but this method is a closely guarded secret of my Heshan Sect. It has always been obtained only by cultivators who have made outstanding contributions to the sect."

"This is a copy of the scroll I have, and it will destroy itself after being scanned three times by divine sense."

"I see……"

Han Li nodded somewhat helplessly. It seemed that obtaining the crafting method for the Soul Refining Banner was indeed not an easy task.

"However, the sect specifically instructed that I should do my best to meet any needs of Fellow Daoist Hao. Since it is what Fellow Daoist needs, how can I refuse?"

As he spoke, Ma Laojiu flipped his palm, revealing a yellowed scroll, which he then handed to Han Li.

Han Li took the scroll and carefully unfurled it. It was covered with tiny characters. He glanced through it and found that the refining method was indeed quite ingenious.

Unfortunately, this only records the crafting methods for talismans and magical artifacts. These methods are only effective up to the Foundation Establishment stage before they become ineffective.

"In that case, I shall accept your offer." Han Li smiled, put away the blueprints in his hand, and then clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for that. With your talent, entering the Foundation Establishment stage is only a matter of time. When that happens, please don't forget the kindness between us."

"Since you wish to refine the Soul Refining Banner, I happen to have some materials left over, so I will give them to you as well."

Ma Laojiu laughed heartily, his words full of flattery, and took out some refining materials from his storage bag, handing them to Han Li.

Han Li didn't say much about it. After accepting the materials, he took out one hundred low-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and forced them into the other party's hand.

Ma Laojiu quickly refused, but after some polite exchanges, he accepted it nonetheless.

Afterwards, Han Li began to inquire about some things concerning the Heshan Sect, during which he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the origin of the blood coffin in the cave.

When the blood coffin was mentioned, a strange look flashed in Ma Laojiu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

He said he didn't know the specific origin of the blood coffin, only that it was brought back from overseas by Old Monster Yan, and knew nothing else.

Upon hearing this, Han Li nodded silently, but secretly began to make plans in his mind.

After Han Li left, Ma Laojiu's smile gradually faded, replaced by a gloomy expression.

At that moment, the nearby void rippled, and a blood-red figure slowly emerged.

"You just gave it to him like that? That's a bit too hasty," the blood-robed man said slowly, his tone icy.

"Hmph, what do you know? Anyway, this kid won't be able to cause trouble for many more days. Once the spirit corpse drains all his magic power and blood essence, these things will naturally return to my hands. What's wrong with entrusting them to him for a few days now?"

"What's more, this kid has already started to suspect what's in the blood coffin. If I don't bring out something good, how can I suppress his suspicions?" Old Ma snorted and said.

“You’re right, but I didn’t expect this kid to be so perceptive. Do you think he’ll believe what you say?” The man in the blood-red robe paused and said.

"What difference does it make whether you believe it or not? Right now, I am the blade and he is the fish. Even if this kid vaguely guesses some things, he can't possibly break ties with me to my face, otherwise he would be courting death."

"Now, all we need to do is wait for him to return and seal the entrance to his cave. No matter how powerful he is, he'll have no choice but to surrender!"

Ma Laojiu snorted coldly, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, revealing a strange smile on his face.
