Rebirth of a Reincarnated Immortal Cultivator

Linheji is a mountain basin located southwest of Xuanjianmen. It is rich in aquatic products and has frequent trade. In addition, due to the Blackwater River, all kinds of rare treasures from various parts of Zhao can be found here.

In Linheji, the most famous place is Yuelai Inn.

Yuelai Inn is not only a top choice for travelers to rest, but also a place where news spreads fastest. Every day, all sorts of people come and go, bringing news and stories from all over the world.

Here, you can hear rumors about mysterious treasures and learn about the activities of various forces in the martial arts world. Sometimes, you might even hear snippets of secrets about immortal sects.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the Yue Lai Inn, a plain-looking, dark-skinned young man sat silently listening to the gossip around him. This man was none other than Han Li.

After leaving Jiuhua Mountain, Han Li first visited some famous mountains and rivers, spending more than a month there, and then came to Linheji.

The scenery of Linheji is indeed different from that of Hailuo Town. Both in terms of urban scale and population base, it is far superior to Hailuo Town.

Upon arriving at Linheji, Han Li immediately went to the city's market. He first sold the beast teeth and bones he had acquired during this period, and then began searching for the final ingredient for refining the Meridian Forging Pill: Meridian Forging Powder.

This Forging Pulse Powder is made from the root core of a stubborn rock called Three-Line Grass. During its growth, it absorbs a large amount of soil essence contained in the soil and integrates it into its root system.

They are quite common in spiritual lands rich in earth element. They are usually essential items for martial artists to improve their internal strength, so Han Li was able to obtain some quite easily.

In this way, all the materials for making the medicine were gathered.

As for the Meridian Forging Pill, Han Li visited several pharmacies, but he found that many people had never even heard of it, let alone the pill itself. But thinking about it, it made sense; the Body Tempering Method was, after all, a celestial cultivation technique, so it would be strange if similar pills were so easy to find.

After completing all this, Han Li finally arrived at the Yue Lai Inn. While eating and resting, he also took the opportunity to gather some information.

What he didn't expect was that the Xuanjian Sect and the Haiya Gang would make their move so quickly. Perhaps it was because the Hao family's affairs had touched a nerve with the Xuanjian Sect, and they were forced to take action to protect their reputation.

Hao Tian was, after all, a former elder of the Xuanjian Sect. To be killed right under their noses was a huge loss of face.

Han Li was now filled with relief, thankful that he hadn't returned directly to the Xuanjian Sect. Otherwise, how could he, as a disciple of the Xuanjian Sect, possibly remain uninvolved in the great battle between the two factions? With his current strength, if he had truly been drawn into this conflict, he would have undoubtedly met a gruesome end.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to find a secluded place as soon as possible to develop the Meridian Forging Pill and open up the acupoints in the body, so as to increase the chances of survival.

Whether it was because he had practiced the Body Tempering Technique or because he had used the Earth Essence and his internal energy had recovered, Han Li was now much taller than before and no longer looked sickly.

Thinking of this, Han Li took a sip of wine, then slowly stood up. Several copper coins appeared in his hand. After paying for the meal, he left the restaurant.

After leaving the restaurant, Han Li first strolled around the Linhe Market area, and then, led by the manager of Baicaotang, arrived at a courtyard near the Purple Bamboo Forest. After learning about the situation, Han Li took out more than thirty copper coins and rented the place, intending to devote himself to researching the Meridian Forging Pill here.

Afterwards, Han Li asked the steward for some tools for grinding herbs. The steward was quite efficient and delivered the tools to him that afternoon.

With these things, he could begin making medicine.

The method of making medicine differs from that of alchemy. Alchemy begins with finding suitable medicinal materials according to the prescription, and the age and potency of the materials are crucial. By putting the qualified medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace in sequence, and purifying them with spiritual flames according to the properties of the herbs and the principles of the five elements, the medicine is condensed into a pill.

Medicine making does not require the use of spiritual energy or flames for calcination; it can be completed simply by following certain steps. Compared to controlling the heat in alchemy, medicine making is much easier.

Han Li first placed the obtained Nine Yang Grass in the shade for seven days, then ground it into powder in a porcelain container. He also added two egg whites as a medicinal guide to neutralize the medicinal properties of the Nine Yang Grass. After pounding it for a day and a night, he added the prepared Meridian Forging Powder.

The originally purple, viscous substance instantly turned black. After observing the scent and color to confirm that everything was correct, Han Li continued grinding until the two were completely fused together.

Finally, the pills were hand-rolled and then air-dried in the shade.

Seven days later, the Meridian Forging Pill was finally produced.

Looking at the seven black and purple pills before him, Han Li nodded. However, he did not take them rashly. Instead, he first randomly found a dog to test them on. After confirming that there were no problems, he found a secluded place, sat cross-legged, and began to break through the barriers of his cultivation technique by attempting to penetrate the Ren and Du meridians.

Several months have passed, and the heat flow in Han Li's dantian has more than doubled compared to before. With the help of the Meridian Forging Pill, it seems that opening up the two meridians should not be a problem.

As Han Li swallowed the Meridian Forging Pill, he felt a slight warmth spreading through his meridians, as if several giant dragons that had been dormant within his body were slowly reviving.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Han Li immediately activated the Body Tempering Technique, controlling the true qi in his dantian to flow throughout his body's meridians.

Every time his true energy passed through an acupoint, Han Li's body would involuntarily twitch, as if he were suffering immense pain, and this continued until that night.

Han Li was drenched in sweat, his brows furrowed involuntarily, his expression extremely grave. His physical foundation was still too weak; otherwise, it wouldn't have taken him so long.

At this moment, the effects of the Meridian Forging Pill gradually wore off. Han Li opened his eyes, immediately picked up the last Meridian Forging Pill, and put it into his mouth without hesitation. As the last pill entered his stomach, wisps of steam rose from Han Li's body, which, from a distance, looked like strands of white flames that were now dancing wildly.

"It's done!"

After an unknown amount of time, Han Li, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, his eyes filled with joy.

After a day and a night of hard work, he had successfully opened up his Ren and Du meridians. Han Li felt an unprecedented sense of ease in his body. With a light leap, he jumped more than three zhang away. Unlike magical power, this pure physical strength was even more captivating.

Han Li felt the surging power within his body and nodded in satisfaction. He decided to take advantage of his good condition to practice the Body Tempering Technique again to consolidate his realm.

He closed his eyes, regulated his breathing, and began to recite the incantation for the Body Tempering Technique. True Qi surged and circulated within his body, constantly cleansing his meridians and bones.

As time went by, Han Li's body gradually began to crackle and pop, emanating a strange aura.
