Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

"Through the technique of shifting fire and transferring scenery, one can transfer one's own karmic fire to the opponent, thereby further enhancing the supernatural power of the Red Lotus Karmic Flame."

"However, this 'Returning Fire and Shifting Scenery' technique is extremely difficult to cultivate, and the interval between its use is very long. In a battle, it can only be used two or three times at most. Otherwise, with this technique and the support of one's own karmic flames, one could easily stand out from the vast majority of cultivators of the same level."

"In addition, the Returning Fire and Shifting Scenery Technique has extremely high requirements for spiritual energy and magic power. Although it has many limitations, its power should not be underestimated. In addition, with the sect's unique secret technique, the Burning Flame Technique, it is enough to bring out the full potential of the scorching power of karmic fire."

Fang Yuan explained with a smile, and with a nod from Cang Kun Shangren, he took out the two cultivation manuals from the bookshelf next to him and handed them to Han Li.

"I see!"

Han Li nodded and smiled as he accepted the two books from Fang Yuan.

"Han Li, let me remind you a few more things. The cultivation methods for the Returning Fire and Shifting Scenery Technique and the Burning Flame Technique are secret techniques of our sect. After you have finished cultivating them, return them immediately. Remember not to spread them outside the sect, otherwise I will personally take action to clean up the sect."

Master Cangkun suppressed his smile and spoke with a serious expression.

"As you command, Master!"

After carefully putting away the two books, Han Li clasped his hands in a fist salute to Venerable Cangkun and said...

Venerable Cangkun was satisfied with Han Li's answer. He then turned to Fang Yuan, who was standing to the side, and said, "You can go down now. Your junior brother Han and I have something important to discuss privately."

"Yes, master!"

Fang Yuan responded respectfully, then glanced at Han Li out of the corner of his eye before quietly retreating.

"Han Li, do you know why I kept you behind alone?"

Master Cangkun spoke expressionlessly.

"This disciple does not know, please enlighten me, Master," Han Li said, bowing his head.

"If my senses are correct, you must be practicing some kind of demonic cultivation technique!"

Upon hearing this, Han Li's expression changed slightly.

“Since I broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, I have become more adept at controlling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Although this technique is extremely well hidden, it is dispensable for Nascent Soul stage cultivators. No wonder the elders all seemed a bit strange when they first met you.”

Master Cangkun paused for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"This disciple did indeed obtain some ghostly cultivation techniques in my younger years. At that time, in order to protect myself, I secretly learned some of them. I hope Master will punish me!"

Han Li looked extremely nervous and hurriedly said.

"Don't worry, I'm keeping you here not to punish you, otherwise I wouldn't have formally accepted you as my disciple. I'm keeping you here so you can see this cultivation technique." Master Cangkun smiled, then took out a book made of animal hide from his storage bag and handed it to Han Li.

"Demonic Flame Technique..."

Han Li's expression changed upon seeing the four large characters on the ancient book written on animal hide.

After opening the book and glancing at it, I discovered that this Demon Flame Technique was actually a fire-attribute divine power driven by demonic and ghostly energy. This technique, at the cost of burning one's lifespan, could greatly increase the speed of cultivation and was comparable to advanced techniques.

Unfortunately, although Han Li cultivates the Ghost Path technique, he does not possess any demonic energy within his body. If he were to use this technique in battle, it would likely only be effective against demonic cultivators, relying on their demonic energy. Against ordinary cultivators, it would be completely useless.

"This technique was obtained by your master from killing a mid-stage Core Formation demonic cultivator. Although this technique is extremely powerful, it consumes a certain amount of lifespan each time you break through to a higher level. Because you cultivate the Ghost Path technique, this technique may have a miraculous effect when facing demonic cultivators."

"Master Cangkun said."

"Han Li, besides this Demonic Flame Manual, you can also choose one item as a formal gift when you become my disciple. Magical artifacts, pills, and cultivation techniques are all acceptable. Have you decided what you want?"

After Han Li put away the Demon Flame Technique, Venerable Cangkun nodded.

"This disciple desires some Qi cultivation techniques suitable for my own practice. I hope Master will grant my request!"

After a moment's thought, Han Li slowly spoke.

Han Li already possesses several magical artifacts, so he's not lacking for the time being. As for pills, he can refine them as well, provided he has enough materials.

As for cultivation techniques, although the Purple Yang Primordial Force he had previously practiced could meet the requirements for using the Returning Fire and Shifting Scenery Technique, it could only be used a very limited number of times during combat. Therefore, profound magical power, which could be used to unleash more supernatural abilities, naturally became Han Li's first choice.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Cangkun showed no surprise. He smiled slightly at Han Li and said, "Come closer so I can examine your spiritual root attributes and then decide what cultivation technique to give you."

Upon hearing this, Han Li dared not slacken in the slightest and immediately moved closer. Then, the other person grabbed Han Li's wrist, and a surge of heat flowed through his body.

"Apart from the metal element, you can cultivate the other four elemental cultivation methods. That really surprises me. I only sensed it slightly that day and could tell that your spiritual roots were mixed, but I didn't expect it to have reached this level."

Master Cangkun looked at Han Li with a strange expression and sighed slightly.

With a pseudo-spiritual root aptitude, even consuming three Foundation Establishment Pills wouldn't guarantee a successful Foundation Establishment. It's a mystery what incredible luck Han Li had; he succeeded on his first try.

"This disciple's aptitude is inferior, and I have disappointed my master!"

Han Li blushed slightly and said with some shame.

"It's nothing. Since Heaven has allowed you to successfully establish your foundation, it's your own good fortune. However, this makes choosing a cultivation method more difficult."

“Cultivation techniques are different from supernatural powers. Supernatural powers are either used as an aid or directly in combat, while cultivation techniques include combat techniques and some auxiliary techniques in addition to cultivation techniques.”

"The Qi cultivation method you have chosen is of the auxiliary type. Of course, there are also some top-level cultivation methods that possess multiple attributes, which can increase cultivation speed and also have a certain effect on combat. However, such cultivation methods have many limitations, and with your pseudo-spiritual root aptitude, it will probably be difficult for you to master them."

"Combat-type cultivation techniques improve cultivation much faster than ordinary techniques, but the special supernatural abilities they come with are enough to allow cultivators with low mana levels to defeat high-level cultivators. Those cultivators who know they have no chance of forming their core often choose these supernatural abilities."

“Cultivation techniques can improve one’s cultivation level very quickly, but they are quite difficult to master and do not offer much advantage in combat.”

So, which one do you want to choose?

At this point, Venerable Cangkun narrowed his eyes and asked Han Li.

"This disciple has low aptitude but a strong desire to improve. This disciple wishes to choose a cultivation-type Qi cultivation method, and hopes that Master will grant this wish!"

After a moment's thought, Han Li spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Cangkun was somewhat speechless, but still nodded. Back then, those few rascals under his tutelage all chose top-tier cultivation techniques. This was the first time in all these years that someone had chosen a cultivation method focused on cultivating internal energy.

However, considering Han Li's aptitude, Master Cangkun did not believe that Han Li could master this technique in a short time. He did not say anything more, and with a flick of his palm, a purple scroll appeared in his hand.
