Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

At this moment, Han Li was standing in front of a magnificent and tall building, carefully examining the golden plaque in front of him, on which were engraved the three large characters "Wen Dao Lou" (问道楼, meaning "Inquiry Tower").

The Dao Wen Lou, a renowned pavilion in Tianxing City for martial arts and supernatural powers, houses a wide range of basic martial arts techniques from Ningzhou.

The Hidden Sword Technique that Han Li practiced originated from this pavilion.

In addition, there are some treasure maps in the Asking Tower. These were recorded by cultivators who traveled all over the world and based on various strange and unusual phenomena.

In particular, one of the books, titled "The Record of Strange Things in Mountains and Seas," records various events in Ningzhou over the past ten thousand years.

Han Li's purpose in this trip was to acquire this extraordinary book, hoping to glean some clues about the strange fire from it. Even if he couldn't, obtaining some rare and precious materials that would aid in his breakthrough would be beneficial.

In his previous lives, he also wanted to obtain this extraordinary book as soon as possible, but unfortunately, he lacked the financial resources.

By the time he returned after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, the book would have long since fallen into the hands of some unknown cultivator. Therefore, as soon as Han Li arrived in Tianxing City, he immediately rushed to the Dao Asking Tower, hoping to acquire this extraordinary book as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.

And so, accompanied by a Qi Refining Stage 1 waiter, Han Li entered the Dao Asking Pavilion.

"Fellow Daoist, would you like to purchase some basic cultivation techniques? Our Dao Asking Pavilion may not have much else, but we have collected various techniques and supernatural abilities to varying degrees."

"The Dao Asks the Way Tower has three floors. The first floor is full of basic cultivation techniques, such as the Everlasting Spring Technique and the Shadow Retention Technique. These are all basic cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities."

"This second layer contains special cultivation techniques. The power of these techniques is naturally incomparable to that of the techniques in the first layer, but of course there are some limitations. For example, it requires one to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, or to have special attainments and understanding of a certain Great Dao, as well as to meet some special conditions."

"There are far fewer people practicing these techniques compared to the first level, and their prices are far higher. You simply can't afford them without several thousand spirit stones."

The man in hemp clothing chuckled and explained to Han Li.

Han Li walked around the first-tier bookshelf, picked up a cultivation manual called Dao Yan Jue, and casually began to look at it. As expected, these cultivation manuals were extremely crude. Reading them could slightly improve one's mental state, but this was of little use to Han Li.

The Purple Yang Primordial Force he practiced originated from the second floor of this Dao Inquiry Tower. As a practical high-level cultivation technique, the Purple Yang Primordial Force, while not comparable to top-tier inheritances, is absolutely unique.

Fortunately, Han Li's understanding of the Great Dao of Qi was already extraordinary, which enabled him to master it quickly in a short period of time. If it were any other cultivator, it would have taken them at least one or two years to successfully cultivate it.

Next, Han Li strolled around the first floor for a while before going to the second floor. After casually glancing at it, he walked to the entrance of the third floor.

Compared to the first level, there are significantly fewer cultivators on the second level, and most of them have incredibly powerful auras, clearly indicating they are Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. Occasionally, one or two Qi Refining peak cultivators can also be seen.

Such Qi Refining cultivators are few and far between; including myself, there are only about six or seven of them in total.

"Fellow Daoist, the third floor mainly contains treasure maps and ruin maps. Of course, some of these treasure maps are genuine and some are fake. I must warn you in advance that if you accidentally buy a fake map, our shop will not offer refunds or exchanges."

The boy suppressed his smile and said to Han Li with a serious expression.

With Han Li's cultivation at the peak of Qi Refining, there is no need for him to learn other techniques and supernatural abilities. There is a saying that you can't bite off more than you can chew, and Han Li is well aware of this.

Moreover, he was about to join the Li Huo Sect, and with the Li Huo Sect's techniques as a supplement, he naturally didn't need to consider other supernatural abilities. He immediately headed towards the third floor.

"Hao Le, is it really you?"

Just as Han was about to step onto the stairs, a voice rang out from not far away.

Looking to the side, she saw a girl in a pink dress with two small braids sticking up in her hair waving at her. Beside the female cultivator was another beautiful woman in white, who looked ethereal and otherworldly.

The young woman was none other than Lin Muxin, whom she had met briefly at the Ascension Ceremony. The white-clad woman she was holding hands with was her older sister, Lin Muxue.

"So it's you two fellow Daoists! What a coincidence to meet you here!"

Han Li cupped his hands in greeting and smiled at the two women.

"See? I told you, this is Fellow Daoist Hao. You still don't believe me?"

Lin Muxue pinched the girl's delicate nose and smiled sweetly.

"Wait a minute, I remember this kid wasn't this ugly during the Ascension Ceremony. He actually looked quite pleasing to the eye back then. How did he become such a monstrous sight now..."

Lin Muxin rubbed her eyes and muttered to herself.

After confirming that the aura emanating from Han Li was genuine, he was certain that the person in front of him was Hao Le, who was competing against him on the same stage.

Upon hearing this, Han Li's lips twitched slightly, and he forced an extremely ugly smile onto his face. He then cupped his hands in greeting, pretending that nothing had happened. This amused Lin Muxue, who covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled.

"Xue'er, who is this fellow Daoist? What makes you so happy?"

Han Li opened his lips, about to say something, when a warm male voice suddenly rang out.

Not far away, a young man with flowing long hair and a folding fan strode over, his aura unfathomable.

"Wang Deng, please have some self-respect. Don't call me Xue'er. We're not that familiar."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Lin Muxue frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of anger.

"Xue'er, don't be angry, I'll listen to you. But speaking of which, this fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar, won't you introduce him to me, Xue'er?"

Wang Deng waved his folding fan, looking dashing and debonair, his gaze fixed on Han Li beside him.

"This is Hao Le, the second place winner of this Ascension Ceremony. He is now a disciple of the Li Huo Sect."

Lin Muxue looked at Wang Deng with a slightly warning tone and began to introduce Han Li.

"The second place in the Ascension Tournament, so it's you? I thought you were someone extraordinary, but seeing you today, I'm rather disappointed!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Deng closed his folding fan, looked Han Li up and down, and his eyes were full of disdain.

"These are all empty titles. My meager cultivation is naturally no match for yours, senior."

Han Li spoke the most cowardly words in the most indifferent tone. With his keen eyesight, he could feel the tension in the air. The waiter next to him was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"I have some matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer. Farewell!"

Seeing this, Lin Muxin was about to say something when Han Li spoke first and left the place of trouble.

"Sister, let's go too, let's ignore him, hmph!"

After saying that, Lin Muxin glared fiercely at Wang Deng, then pulled Lin Muxue away, leaving Wang Deng alone standing there.

Watching Han Li's departing figure, Wang Deng's eyes narrowed slightly, his smile gradually fading, replaced by a gloomy expression.

Han Li was completely unaware of this. At the moment, he was on the third floor of the Asking Tower, collecting and searching for the Book of Strange Things from the Mountains and Seas, and didn't pay much attention to what had just happened.

After searching through a vast sea of ​​books for more than an hour, I finally found a sandalwood box. When I opened it, I found that it contained the very book, "The Record of Strange Things in the Mountains and Seas."

"1288 low-grade spirit stones, the price is still so expensive."

Looking at the price tag on the box, Han Li's face showed a pained expression.

It should be noted that more than a thousand spirit stones is no small sum; for a Qi Refining stage cultivator, it is undoubtedly an astronomical price.

But in order to better understand the South Sea Continent and learn about relevant information from various sea areas, he was completely willing to go all out.

After handing over the books at the front desk, the seal covering them was lifted, and I found a quiet spot in the Asking Hall to start reading.

This Record of Strange Things in the Mountains and Seas truly lives up to its reputation as a remarkable book. It records various customs and traditions of the Southern Sea Continent, as well as all sorts of strange tales and events, and even includes information on most of the demonic beasts.

In addition, it also contained a lot of information about the sea area, which greatly benefited Han Li.

In particular, there is this description:

South of Tunyun and north of Tengluo, clouds and mist often swirl, covering thousands of miles, causing masts to tilt and disappear without a trace. Those who stray into the clouds and mist often find their fate unknown.

Those who were fortunate enough to be there said that it was extremely cold inside, causing fear and terror at night. Water and fire would appear at night, and touching them would result in death. This is called extreme yin, the coldness of water and the fire.

According to Han Li's speculation, there might be a strange fire in the perpetually shrouded area deep within the Swallowing Cloud Sea. This fire is extremely cold and can burn on water; even Core Formation stage cultivators dare not easily provoke it.

Because it can burn in water, it is called "extreme yin water fire" or "extreme yin cold fire".

If such a strange fire truly exists, possessing both water and fire attributes, its power would be absolutely not to be underestimated.

Of course, this is just a rumor, and whether it actually exists in reality is still unknown.

However, even if there is only a sliver of hope, Han Li will still go and try.

If he could truly refine and absorb the power of the laws on the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he would definitely be able to master another extremely powerful fire-type divine ability.
