Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

"Han Li greets Third Senior Brother!"

Han Li looked reserved and obediently called out.

Seeing Han Li's expression and hearing his obedient address, Fang Yuan's smile deepened, and he spoke even more affectionately:

"Don't call me Third Senior Brother, it's too formal! Just call me Senior Brother Fang."

"I've heard some things about Junior Brother Han from Master. It's truly remarkable that he stood out in the last Ascension Tournament," Fang Yuan said with a smile, praising him repeatedly.

Han Li forced a few dry laughs. The fact that the other party, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, was so polite to him, a disciple, made Han Li feel uneasy.

"I had heard that Junior Brother Han's aptitude was not very good, but now that I see it, Junior Brother Han has actually succeeded in Foundation Establishment. This is truly a cause for celebration."

"In this way, it can truly be described as double happiness."

Fang Yuan smiled, seemingly already aware of Han Li's successful Foundation Establishment. It seemed this short-bearded old man was quite well-informed, having informed them so quickly.

"You know about what happened to your master, right?"

Han Li nodded.

"Since Junior Brother already knows, I won't say anything more. By the way, Master is still waiting for Junior Brother in the cave. Look at my memory, I was so busy talking to Junior Brother."

"Let's go into the cave first, don't keep Master waiting." Fang Yuan seemed to have just remembered this, slapped the back of his head, and said to Han Li with a grin.

Han Li's lips twitched slightly when he saw the other's behavior. His senior brother was still quite childlike. However, he maintained a respectful expression, responded, and entered the cave together.

Upon entering the Dutian Blazing Fire Formation, an even more concentrated fire-attribute spiritual energy rushed towards them.

The cave was quite spacious and not as dark as I had imagined. Various rare and precious stones were inlaid on both sides of the stone walls, making it look exceptionally magnificent.

In addition, various kinds of fire-attribute saplings were planted on both sides of the cave. These saplings were all rare and precious, and the fruits they bore were bright red and looked very tempting.

It's more like an underground palace than a cave dwelling.

Within the medicinal herb field, various spiritual herbs, some three to five hundred years old, grew rampantly, and a strong aroma of wine wafted out.

"This is... Insect Spirit Wine! And it's a two-hundred-year-old grade!"

Han Li sniffed it, and the astonishing spiritual energy contained within made him pale with surprise, even though he had already entered the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Haha, I didn't expect that Junior Brother is also a cultivator who is fond of this drink. Junior Brother Han can identify this Insect Spirit Wine just by smell. He is truly knowledgeable."

Fang Yuan laughed heartily, seemingly surprised that Han Li could identify the wine by smell. While shocked, he also became more curious about this junior brother Han whom he was meeting for the first time.

"Senior brother, you flatter me. I only came across this wine by chance in ancient books and auctions," Han Li replied, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

How could Han Li not know about Insect Spirit Wine, a top-grade spirit wine that is highly effective even for those in the Core Formation stage?

No wonder my master's cultivation has progressed so quickly, reaching the Nascent Soul stage in just over three hundred years. With the blessing of this wine, it is indeed not surprising.

Insect Spirit Wine is made by brewing thousand-year-old cordyceps with the essence of hundreds of herbs and spiritual liquid. Its taste changes every hundred years, from slightly bitter to slightly sweet. By the time it is two hundred years old, the aroma of cordyceps permeates the air and has lasted for a long time.

Its astonishing spiritual energy can greatly improve the cultivation speed of the Core Formation stage. Every time it appears at an auction, even just a small bottle can sell for hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.

"This Insect Spirit Wine was specially prepared by Master to entertain those Nascent Soul stage seniors who came from afar. Hehe, Junior Brother Han is late. The Nascent Soul celebration has already ended, otherwise I could have asked Master for a small cup."

"Senior Brother Yan Xiao, just because he only tasted that little bit, he is still in seclusion in his cave."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Han Li felt somewhat helpless. He knew that with his Qi Refining stage cultivation at the time, if he had actually consumed the Insect Spirit Wine, he might have exploded and died due to the violent spiritual energy contained within it.

He wasn't bothered by this; he just chuckled and remained silent.

Thus, under Fang Yuan's guidance, Han Li was led to the main hall of the cave, where he met his master, Venerable Cang Kun.

When Venerable Cangkun saw Han Li enter, a smile flashed across his dignified face. Especially after sensing the early Foundation Establishment aura emanating from Han Li, his smile deepened.

Han Li strode forward and respectfully bowed to Cang Kun, who was seated at the top of the hall:

"Disciple Han Li greets Master."

"Well, get up!"

With a wave of his hand, Master Cangkun lifted Han Li up.

"Han Li, I just heard from someone that you have successfully established your foundation. To be honest, it is hard for me to believe and I am quite surprised."

"I heard from your ancestor Zhengyang that your aptitude isn't actually that good. To be able to successfully establish your foundation with just three Foundation Establishment Pills is quite a stroke of luck for you," said Venerable Cangkun with a smile, his tone incredibly gentle, which made Han Li feel flattered.

"I was lucky to succeed in Foundation Establishment. To be honest, I was quite surprised myself," Han Li said, clasping his hands in a fist salute, without batting an eye.

In fact, Han Li consumed a total of nine Foundation Establishment Pills after they had been infused with spiritual energy, which is equivalent to consuming a full 18 pills before he managed to succeed by sheer luck.

Of course, Han Li would never say such a thing out loud.

"Hahaha, luck is also a reflection of a person's strength. In the path of cultivation, besides talent, one relies more on opportunities and a trace of fate."

"You must know that I've entered the Nascent Soul stage. My successful breakthrough this time also had an element of luck involved."

Master Cangkun laughed heartily and said.

"You've come here to choose a suitable cultivation method, haven't you?"

"Exactly!"

Han Li was overjoyed to see that the other party had taken the initiative to return to the main topic.

"Fang Yuan, explain the characteristics of our sect's techniques to your junior brother Han." Master Cang Kun waved his hand, signaling Fang Yuan to explain to Han Li.

“Junior Brother Han, judging from the vibrant fire-attribute spiritual energy around you, which faintly contains a trace of karmic fire power, it seems that you have successfully cultivated the divine power of the Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame.”

"The Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame is a fundamental fire-based divine ability of our sect. Junior Brother's mastery of it during the Qi Refining stage demonstrates his extraordinary understanding of the Great Dao of Fire. However, Junior Brother should also be aware that while the Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame is incredibly powerful, it can also harm oneself."

"If not handled properly, it could easily backfire. In that case, you would need to cultivate the Returning Fire and Shifting Scenery Technique to avoid being harmed by the flames," Fang Yuan paused and explained to Han Li.
