Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

Han Li snapped out of his daze and carefully put away the communication jade talisman as if it were a precious treasure.

In the storage bag Han Li gave Gan Rushuang, he specially put in some Essence Pills and pills to increase cultivation in the Qi Refining stage, as well as some top-grade talismans, magic treasures, and spiritual herbs, hoping that these things would be helpful to her cultivation.

After his training at the Imperial Sword Sect ruins, Han Li mastered many magical artifacts and treasures, such as Heng Ru's Taiyi Needle and the Taihuang Bell. However, these things were magical treasures crafted by the Bamboo Mountain Sect, so they could not be used easily to avoid causing trouble later.

However, the flying needle technique that Hengru has been practicing is quite interesting. Manipulating flying needles and manipulating flying swords are similar in some ways. If he can learn it, it may be helpful to his sword control technique.

"With so many refining materials acquired this time, we can try to forge some top-tier talismanic artifacts and magic weapons. Moreover, we're running out of talismans and need to draw more as soon as possible."

"It's a pity that I couldn't get the methods of raising corpses and refining puppets in Heshan last time. Otherwise, having a few zombies or puppets would be very effective in critical moments, whether for fighting enemies or resisting a fatal blow."

“I remember that every February, there is an auction held outside Wuling City. If you can buy some good things at the auction, such as the inner core of a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast with wood attribute, you might be able to cultivate a Qingling Grass suitable for refining Foundation Establishment Pills by relying on the trace of wood spirit energy within the demon core.”

Unfortunately, auctions of this caliber attract not only Qi Refining stage cultivators, but also Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stage cultivators.

With his current cultivation level, if he were to win a valuable item at an auction and become the target of someone's attention, he would be doomed.

He understood the principle of not flaunting one's wealth. However, when it came to his foundation-building endeavor, even Han Li had to be cautious.

In fact, at Han Li's current age of just over twenty-five, he can still participate in the Ascension Ceremony twice. If he is lucky, he can obtain three or four Foundation Establishment Pills. Adding the two he obtained from Lin Muxue before, he will have a total of five or six.

However, to guarantee a successful Foundation Establishment, at least seven are required. Moreover, now that there are antidote pills, if one can consume a large number of Foundation Establishment pills and use the spiritual energy from the Foundation Establishment stage to cultivate the second level of the Body Tempering Technique, it will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort.

At that time, both physical strength and cultivation level will increase dramatically.

Therefore, at least ten Foundation Establishment Pills are required.

Thinking of this, Han Li shook his head. After clearing his mind, he opened a weapon-refining room on the other side of the cave and began to refine talismanic artifacts and magical treasures.

Soon, a year had passed.

During this period, Han Li crafted six talismanic armors, two of which were top-tier talismanic magic weapons. If they were to be sold, they could fetch at least 100 spirit stones each. All of these talismanic armors together would be worth around 400 to 500 spirit stones.

Among these talismanic artifacts, Han Li used five fragments of spirit swords with different attributes to forge twenty flying needles with completely different five-elemental attributes.

These flying needles are engraved with magic array inscriptions and retain their respective five elemental attributes, making them perfect for performing flying needle techniques.

With Han Li's late-stage Qi Refining Divine Sense, the number of flying needles he could manipulate at one time was only about twenty.

The reason Hengru was able to manipulate so many flying needles, besides possessing the powerful divine sense of a peak Qi Refining cultivator, was likely due to her cultivation of some kind of divine sense technique. However, Han Li did not find the divine sense technique in Hengru's storage bag, presumably because Hengru had left it in her cave and did not carry it with her.

Han Li originally planned to cultivate his self-created divine sense technique, the Divine Refinement Technique, just like in his previous lives. Cultivating this technique could greatly enhance a cultivator's divine sense perception, making their divine sense several times greater than that of other cultivators of the same level.

This increase came at the cost of sacrificing his divine sense in future reincarnations. If he hadn't had enough reincarnation laws to protect him in his previous life and hadn't reached the Integration Stage cultivation level, even the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc wouldn't have been able to allow him to reincarnate eight times.

The cultivation of the Divine Refining Technique cannot be interrupted. Once a cultivator abandons the process halfway, it will cause a backlash to the soul, eventually turning the cultivator into a killing machine that completely loses its rationality. This is why Han Li has been reluctant to cultivate this technique.

Furthermore, there are very few spiritual cultivation techniques suitable for Qi Refining stage cultivators. After all, Qi Refining stage cultivators have shallow foundations, and if they rashly cultivate, it may damage their foundations and affect their Foundation Establishment.

Therefore, Han Li was exceptionally excited when he deduced that Heng Ru had cultivated a technique to enhance divine sense. The fact that Heng Ru had successfully cultivated it meant that the technique might not be very difficult. If he could obtain it, both his flying needle technique and sword control technique would be much easier.

After tending to the medicinal herb field, Han Li first went to the alchemy room to refine some pills needed for combat. Then he went to the market in Wuling City to buy some talisman paper and drew many high-level talismans.

These first-tier high-level talismans are quite powerful even for those in the late stage of Qi Refining.

If you were to throw out a dozen or even a hundred talismans at once, even a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment would probably have a headache.

After doing all this, Han Li returned to his cave dwelling, sealed the cave entrance tightly, and closed the stone door.

There are still more than two years until the Ascension Conference. He must make the most of every second to become as strong as possible.

Thinking of this, Han Li took out the last three-stage golden pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

A surge of powerful spiritual energy circulated within his body, instantly gathering all the spiritual energy within the cave, which Han Li inhaled. As time passed, the aura surrounding Han Li grew increasingly refined.

Two years later, Han Li's spiritual energy suddenly erupted, and a terrifying wave of spiritual energy surged out, sweeping across the entire cave.

"Peak of the late stage of Qi Refining!"

Han Li slowly stood up, his eyes suddenly opening wide, a sharp glint appearing in them.

Han Li has now broken through from the seventh level of Qi Refining and the eighth level of basic cultivation techniques to the ninth level of Qi Refining and the eleventh level of basic cultivation techniques. Although he has not yet broken through to the peak of Qi Refining, his internal mana has increased by more than 10%.

Previously, Han Li's internal magical power was already comparable to that of a tenth-level cultivator. Now it has increased by another ten percent, and it is estimated that he is no less than a peak Qi Refining cultivator.

Han Li originally thought that the cultivation boost from the third-stage Golden Core would be enough to allow him to break through to the peak of Qi Refining. Unfortunately, the higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it became to improve. At his current cultivation speed, it would take him at least five or six years to achieve this.

Fortunately, Han Li gave up on improving his cultivation and instead focused on mastering the Flying Needle Technique. Because of his foundation in Sword Control, he succeeded in comprehending the Flying Needle Technique without any bottlenecks.

This flying needle technique is indeed profound. Han Li also carved the Entangling Vine Formation, which he had previously developed based on Heng Ru's Yi Wood Needles, onto his own flying needles.

In this way, by using the entanglement technique on the flying needles, they would definitely have the advantage in small-scale battles.

While entangled, the hit rate of using sword control techniques or other methods is much higher than before.

As the cave entrance slowly opened, Han Li stretched and loosened his muscles.

After organizing the necessary items, Han Li summoned the Thunderstruck Wooden Sword. A flash of azure light enveloped his body as he flew away from the mountain range where his cave was located, heading rapidly towards Wuling City.

At this moment, the city of Wuling was surrounded by twinkling lights, and the teleportation array never stopped. Qi Refining cultivators from all over Ningzhou gathered here, and the streets were filled with singing and dancing. The cultivators who were rarely seen before were now as numerous as hairs on a cow, no less than the mortals in the entire city.
