A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 2 Mo Juren and Zhang Tie
He had no power to resist Mo Juren at this moment.

In his own creation, this person is the founder of the "Jingjiao Society," one of the three hegemons of the mortal world in "Lanzhou," a major state of the Yue Kingdom, and is proficient in medicine and martial arts.

He was well-versed in medicine and possessed superb medical skills.

His martial arts skills were unparalleled among mortals.

Don't be fooled by his appearance of being in his seventies or eighties.

She's actually only around thirty years old.

The reason he has become such a decrepit old man is simply because he was ambushed and severely injured by the cultivator Yu Zitong while pursuing the path of immortality. If his fundamental health had not been damaged, he would have been a handsome and elegant young man.

This is a ruthless and cunning tyrant.

After being severely injured by the cultivator Yu Zitong and reaching a symbiotic agreement, he plans to select disciples to pass on his immortal cultivation techniques, and then attempt to possess the bodies of disciples with spiritual roots to prolong their lives. In this way, he aims to restart his life and incidentally dabble in the path of immortality.

"Oh no, I made the villain in the book too ruthless."

"Now it's my turn to face this kind of villain..."

He felt he was struggling to keep up.

"Sigh, if only I had awakened my past life memories seven or eight years later..."

At that time, his body had by chance killed Mo Juren and developed the "golden finger" function of the immortal treasure Palm Heaven Bottle.

Back then, it was a time for effortless leveling up.

But now.

However, he had no choice but to confront Mo Juren directly.

Facing imminent danger.

"Never mind, let's get through this first."

As the creator of this world, that is, the author, he knew all too well the life trajectories of his protagonists and supporting characters. In short, whatever happened, he had to accept it. He had no other choice.

He couldn't gamble on whether he could return to Earth if he were killed by Mo Juren.

He couldn't afford to gamble.

"Besides, this is a world of immortals and heroes..."

My initial dream when I started writing this book was to roam the world with a sword and achieve immortality.

That's cultivating immortality!

When I wrote this book, wasn't I just another Mo Juren?

"dream…"

"Original intention..."

"Time travel and rebirth..."

"Main character template..."

"... "

From that moment on: "I am Han Li?!"

There is no longer any writer named Wang Yu.

I took a deep breath and let go of those irrelevant and complicated thoughts.

In an instant, the gaunt boy's eyes cleared again:
"Elder Mo, I, I just..."

Before the young man could offer any stammering explanation, Doctor Mo waved his hand dismissively:
"You were just too tired from the Seven Mysteries Sect's entrance test, and the sudden joy and shock caused you to faint. Alright, it's good that you're okay. Go get something to eat, and come to my room with Zhang Tie in a bit."

After saying this, the indifferent-looking old man hunched over and left.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Mo."

Han Li nimbly sat up from the bed, got off the bed, and then bowed to Mo Juren's back.

He was very respectful in his actions, but perhaps not in his heart.

If he hadn't known all too well what a ruthless character this Old Mo was, and what kind of arrangements and schemes he would have for him and Zhang Tie, he might have actually developed a liking for him.

I was even touched for a moment.

but.

Mo Juren is a character he created.

As the author, outside the book, he liked the character Mo Juren quite a bit, and also felt sorry for him.

Unfortunately, he has now become Han Li, the protagonist of his own book. As a result, he can no longer feel much affection for this Doctor Mo.

Yes, but more than anything, it's a feeling of vigilance and apprehension.

of course.

These things definitely cannot be shown.

When Old Master Mo returned to his room, which was a dozen meters away.

The honest-looking boy beside him breathed a sigh of relief, then said with lingering fear:

"Han Li, you suddenly fainted just now, it scared me to death! I thought, I thought you..."

There was still a thin layer of sweat on the boy's forehead.

That's from being nervous.

"It's alright, it's alright. Just don't scare me again in the future," Han Li said with a smile, using this as an excuse to put a period to his memory awakening.

To be honest, his feelings toward Zhang Tie were extremely complex.

In this boy's own mind, the ending wasn't so happy.

He is simple and honest, and will become Doctor Mo's senior brother. Originally, both of them were chosen by Doctor Mo as potential targets for possession. However, because they do not have the wood attribute spiritual root, they cannot cultivate the "Eternal Spring Skill" and have to switch to the martial art "Elephant Armor Skill".

After being killed by Doctor Mo, it will become a tall and mighty refining corpse named "Qu Hun".

Corpses refined using secret immortal techniques contain a faint spiritual energy. Furthermore, after being refined through these techniques, their bodies become extremely hard and can survive without food or water. This is why Qu Hun once served as Han Li's henchman during his travels in Lanzhou.

After being possessed by a Core Formation cultivator from the Yuling Sect, who discovered his three spiritual roots, he was then manipulated by the original owner to cultivate the demonic technique "Demon Slayer Technique." Later, he went to the Chaotic Star Sea and condensed a Demon Core, making him comparable to a Core Formation stage cultivator.

It also serves as an important asset for the protagonist Han Li as he ventures into the Chaotic Star Sea.

Whether hunting monsters in outer space or battling with humans, Qu Hun is a core fighting force.

Unfortunately, they ran into the Mysterious Bone Demon.

It was possessed by Xuan Gu.

"Zhang Tie, will you still become [Qu Hun]?"

Han Li murmured these words to himself. Just as Han Li was becoming somewhat distracted...

Zhang Tie took a bowl from the table in the room.

In the bowl, there are two clean, white steamed buns.

"Come, eat something."

The boy's smile was pure and innocent.

It exudes the simplicity and honesty that only a farmer could have.

"Where did it come from?"

Han Li didn't stand on ceremony, took a bite, and asked.

He was indeed very hungry at this moment. He hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch yet, and he definitely needed to eat something to fill his stomach.

These steamed buns, on the other hand, have probably been sitting here for quite a while; they're already a little cold.

“This is what I got from the big kitchen near the valley.”

Is there a large kitchen on the edge of the valley?

Han Li ate a steamed bun in three or five bites, smacked his lips as if he hadn't had enough, and then turned to ask.

He is really hungry.

Even if the taste of the steamed bun in my hand is rather indescribable.

But he didn't waste a single crumb.

Every bite at this moment is taken with utmost focus.

The two large steamed buns disappeared in a short time. After finishing them, he even habitually licked his fingers, as if afraid of wasting even a drop.

Upon hearing this and seeing this, Zhang Tie smiled:
"When I woke up hungry about fifteen minutes ago, I looked around the neighborhood but couldn't find anything to eat, so I left Shenshou Valley. I happened to see many people from inside the sect getting food there."

"So I went and got one too."

"After we finished eating, I realized you and Elder Mo hadn't eaten yet, so I brought back two more portions..."

"These two steamed buns are yours."

As for Elder Mo's share?

Master Mo didn't eat the steamed buns at all; instead, he was invited by Master Wang to the mountain for special meals.

He went through a lot of trouble to find Elder Mo and revive the unconscious Han Li.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang."

He thought of bringing him food even though he had just started working here. He's a kind-hearted person, and we can get along well.

He truly lives up to the image of the honest and kind-hearted character he himself created.

"No, it's alright. I'm used to doing these things at home. I always feel uneasy if I don't do something. If you need any help in the future, just ask. I may not have any other skills, but I certainly have plenty of strength," Zhang Tie said shyly, stammering.

He appeared shy and awkward.

Han Li let out a burp and looked out the window at the afterglow of the setting sun:
Should I continue with the original path and accept the "Changchun Gong" next?

...

If one accepts and practices the Changchun Gong, Mo Juren will surely discover that one possesses spiritual roots.

This cannot be hidden.

At that time, compared to Zhang Tie, who is a simpleton, he will be someone with spiritual roots who can be possessed. Because of this, he will immediately become a coveted target in Mo Juren's eyes, coveted and targeted.

Therefore, it is highly likely that everything will happen along the original trajectory.

"But if I pretend to accept the Everlasting Spring Technique without actually practicing it, I won't even get the basics down. Then, I won't gain Mo Juren's favor, and Zhang Tie probably won't be turned into a corpse puppet iron slave by that Mo whim. Theoretically, we could both avoid this calamity..."

just.

He shook his head and rejected the idea as soon as it came to mind.

"No, if Mo Juren can't see any hope in me and Zhang Tie, he might get angry and turn us both into corpse puppets."

"Furthermore, if I delay my cultivation for several years, how will I deal with Venerable Golden Light and seize the Ascension Token from Yellow Maple Valley to enter the sect? And how will I participate in the Blood Trial to compete for the main spiritual medicine for refining Foundation Establishment Pills?"

One step behind can lead to being behind at every step.

Even with the Heavenly Bottle, it couldn't make up for the delays in the early stages.

"Therefore, for the sake of my path to immortality, I not only cannot refuse Mo Juren, but I must also get close to him. It would be best to show that I possess spiritual roots as soon as possible, so that he will invest more in me and use all the spiritual herbs he has on me..."

In the story, he gave Mo Juren and Yu Zitong a lot of elixirs.

For example, the "Blood Spirit Grass," which is so sought after even in the late stage of Qi Refining, and the other dozen or so are all considered precious spiritual herbs for family cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

It was with the help of most of these spiritual herbs that the original protagonist, Han Li, was able to cultivate to the third level of Qi Refining in just three years.

"I must go see Mo Juren."

Having made up his mind, Han Li stopped hesitating.

He was determined to win the Changchun Gong.

Only by mastering power could he have the ability to counter Mo Juren.

Only then can one avoid being possessed by the remnant soul of Yu Zitong, with whom it coexists.

Only then can one pursue the long and arduous path to immortality.

"Let's go, Brother Zhang, let's go see Elder Mo. We can't keep him waiting."

...

"Squeak~"

The wooden door was pushed open from the outside.

Two figures, both around six feet tall, cautiously stepped in from outside the door.

Inside the room, rows of bookshelves lined all the walls, filled with all sorts of books.

These books mainly focus on medicine, but also include some classic texts and illustrated books on the geography of the Yue Kingdom, as well as some parchment scrolls that the two children couldn't understand at all. This shows the breadth of Mo Juren's knowledge.

To survive, or to pursue immortality, they are persistent.

"Old Mo!"

"Old Mo!"

The two entered and immediately bowed respectfully.
