The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

Chapter 26 Reincarnation
Outside the theater.

On the stone bridge in the courtyard, Li Yan looked at the girl in green beside him with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Cui Xiaotang is indeed very beautiful. Even though Li Yan has been beautified and has been baptized by various Internet beauties, she is still a real beauty.

If there were no demons, no practitioners, and no four disasters in this world, Li Yan would be very happy to marry such a beautiful woman.

But unfortunately not if.

In such a world, although Li Yan has been practicing Taoism day by year, he has gained some strength.

But whenever he thought of the memory of the dark day that fell on the day he woke up, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Faced with such a disaster, he felt that even if he practiced Taoism for a hundred years, he might not have the power to resist.

Although it should be rare to encounter such a disaster, Hengjiang Prefecture had been established for more than a hundred years and had only encountered such a disaster not long ago.

But Li Yan had a vague feeling that such a disaster would happen again.

Therefore, even though he has been practicing Taoism for more than 50 years, he still insists on practicing every day and does not dare to relax at all.

It is not only for the purpose of cultivating to become an immortal, but also for dealing with possible disasters.

The rumors of the four great disasters, namely, the black sun, the night moon, the red fog and the bloody rain, have been passed down to this day and have formed a unique culture in this world.

For example, when going out at night, whether rich or common, everyone would hold an umbrella to block the moonlight.

They don't know the reasons behind it and won't pursue it.

Because this has become a habit and is ingrained in everyone's bones.

But Li Yan now knows the reason: moonlight can shorten people's lifespan.

So what about the other three disasters?
He didn't know when this habit appeared in this world, but if he thought about it, he would know that it must have been a lot of blood and tears to sum up these experiences.

Li Yan had a thousand thoughts in his mind, but only a moment passed in the outside world.

He bowed to Cui Xiaotang and said, "Miss Cui, I have something I want to clarify with you first."

"Mr. Li San, please feel free to speak."

Cui Xiaotang blinked slightly and looked towards Li Yan.

"I am now concentrating on cultivation, and I have no intention of getting married in the next few years. I don't want to delay you, Miss Cui, please forgive me."

Li Yan's words blocked what Cui Xiaotang had originally intended to say.

Although she had some feelings towards Li Yan, she naturally preferred cultivation to practice.

Therefore, I originally planned to say something similar to Li Yan.

Unexpectedly, Li Yan said it first.

Cui Xiaotang chuckled and said, "Mr. Li, there is no need to apologize. I don't want to get married either. I think the same as you do."

"That's good."

Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He was not good at dealing with this kind of situation. At this moment, he only wanted to cut the Gordian knot and finish it quickly so that he could go back to practice magic.

"I wonder when Master Li started practicing, and to what extent has he reached?"

Cui Xiaotang asked curiously.

In fact, her words were considered quite rude in the eyes of other practitioners.

Because the two questions asked are closely related to the practitioner's strength.

For practitioners, once their strength is known by others, they may face dangerous situations.

Therefore, few practitioners ask these two questions.

Unless they are fellow Taoists, or close comrades-in-arms, or there is a huge gap in the cultivation level between the two, they will only ask directly like this.

Only because she had just started practicing cultivation not long ago could she ask these two questions without any burden.

But Cui Xiaotang certainly had no bad intentions. She was just a little competitive and wanted to find out clearly so that she could know when she could catch up with Li Yan.

Li Yan also didn't think much about it and said directly: "I have only been practicing for a short time and have only just started practicing."

This is certainly true.

He has been practicing for less than two months, and he has just started to activate his second soul, so he is naturally just getting started.

"..."

There was a strange look in Cui Xiaotang's eyes.

Li Yan looked very sincere.

If Xiao Cai hadn't told her that Li Yan was at least at the second soul perfection realm, I'm afraid she would have believed Li Yan's lies at this moment.

However, seeing that Li Yan was unwilling to say, she did not continue to ask.

The two chatted for a few more minutes and then left.

Cui Xiaotang met with Cui's father, asked some information about Li Yan, and then returned to the second floor of the theater.

"Xiao Cai, do you know? The Third Master Li doesn't want to get married either. He was just called by the head of the Li family to meet me."

Cui Xiaotang said to the black cat that was walking towards her, pretending to be aggrieved.

The black cat slowly came over and said lazily, "Isn't this good? Now is the best time for you to practice, you can't get married at this time. I also hope that you can practice the Nine Lives Soul Pointing Method as soon as possible and refine the Life Pearl with me!"

"It just so happens that Mr. Li San is also a person who is devoted to cultivation, which saves us a lot of trouble."

"But this girl is so beautiful, he is not moved at all?"

The black cat looked at Cui Xiaotang with strange eyes.

"How come you are more vain than me?"

“I learned this from you.”

Cui Xiaotang chuckled on her fair face and reached out to hold the black cat in her arms.

"Xiao Cai, didn't you say before that Mr. Li San was a disciple of a big sect? I did find out some things from my father just now, but it's completely different from what you thought."

"Hmm? Isn't he a disciple of some big sect?"

There was curiosity in the black cat's eyes.

If he was not a disciple of a large sect, then the fact that Mr. Li San has cultivated to that level at his age would show his talent to be truly terrifying.

After all, the resources of independent cultivators are nothing compared to those of cultivators in sects. It can be said that they are completely incomparable.

"That's right. It is said that Mr. Li San fell into the water five years ago and became a fool. He didn't recover until almost two months ago. As soon as he recovered, he killed an evil cultivator who wanted to harm him and also killed a monster."

Cui Xiaotang's words made Black Cat feel that his little head was not enough.

Even for a normal person, to cultivate to Li Yan's level requires excellent talent and resources.

And now tell it that it has only been two months since Li Yan turned from a fool into a normal person?
"But some people say that Mr. Li San didn't actually become stupid five years ago. He was just practicing a certain technique, so he was considered a fool."

Cui Xiaotang asked the black cat: "Xiao Cai, have you ever heard of such a technique?"

The black cat shook his head, and said with a serious look on his face: "I have never heard of such a skill."

"But the fact that he became stupid after falling into the water and then recovered and made rapid progress does make me think of another possibility."

"What's possible?"

"I heard from my mother that if the Soul-Setting True Lord dies and reincarnates, there may be a slight possibility that his past life memories will be awakened. And once the past life memories are awakened, his cultivation progress will be very fast, because their past life realms and fruits will gradually awaken. Even if they cannot return to the Soul-Setting Realm, they can quickly recover to the Seven Souls True Lord realm."

"The strange things about this Third Master Li are somewhat similar to what my mother said about the reincarnation of True Lord Dinghun."
