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

Chapter 291 A Spark
The former site of the Hidden Moon Sect's mountain gate.

The previous branch of the Hehuan Sect.

The current headquarters of the Xuantian Sect.

A group of high-ranking cultivators gathered together.

At the head of the table sat an ordinary-looking young man, none other than Han Li.

To the left of the main seat are the First Elder, Manhuzi; the Second Elder, Qingyi Jushi; and Yuan Yao.

On the right are Gan Rushuang of the Hidden Moon Sect, Yan Xuanhao of the Yan family, and Tianjing Zhenren.

That's right.

After careful consideration, Master Tianjing chose to join.

For Han Li, this was just icing on the cake, but it was still a powerful force and a rare talent.

This guy's title of "Master of Weapon Forging" is well-deserved.

Moreover, as the organizer of multiple "Nascent Soul level auctions," this person has extensive connections and numerous channels.

The value is there for all to see.

Admittedly, this person had been a bit arrogant in front of him earlier, not accepting his offer of recruitment immediately, and had not contacted the Hidden Moon Sect. It could be said that this person had his own little pride.

But he wouldn't look down on or underestimate this old fox because of that.

Because he couldn't expect all his Nascent Soul cultivators to trust him like Man Hu Zi and Qing Yi did, nor could he expect them to rely on and love him like Yuan Yao and Yan Li did.

It is only natural for people to add flowers to brocade.

Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trivial matters.

He wouldn't refuse such talented and extraordinary people who come to him for help.

After all, ten years ago, he only appeared alone and had not yet demonstrated much strength or made a name for himself. Under those circumstances, asking Tianjing to choose to follow him was truly asking the impossible.

at the moment.

He made a name for himself by defeating the Old Demon of the Joyous Union and forcing the entire demonic path to concede, thus becoming famous overnight.

Tianjing chose to join in order to obtain an eighth-level demon core and a chance to enter the Fallen Demon Valley in the future.

That's very rational.

Instead of rejecting or excluding him, he expressed his appreciation and generously offered the turtle demon's level eight demon core to invite him to join his team.

As I said before: those with real talent are allowed a certain degree of pride in his presence.

Anyone can strive and fight for their own interests.

"Junior Brother Tianjing, are you settling in well here?"

"Very good, thank you for your concern, Sect Master."

“Those puppets…”

"Sect Master, rest assured, those two Nascent Soul level puppets will be completed in another half month."

"it is good."

Han Li was very satisfied.

He entrusted the work to the Fiery Old Monster of the Hundred Crafts Courtyard for mending and patching, but those three old guys still had to play mind games with him.

Now it's all good, we don't need the Hundred Crafts Courtyard anymore.

Tianjing's weapon-refining skills are also extremely high.

Especially in the repair of puppets, the consumption of spiritual materials and parts is lower than that of the Hundred Crafts Institute.

And it is more efficient and faster.

He once suspected that the three old men at the Hundred Crafts Academy were using the abundant spiritual materials he provided for practice. Otherwise, why would the efficiency of three weapon-refining masters be less than that of True Person Tianjing alone?

Talk about it.

Yuan Yao was in a hurry and didn't have time to retrieve the two Nascent Soul level puppets that he had entrusted to Baiqiao Academy to refine, which caused some minor unpleasant incidents. At that time, the three members of the Fiery Demon and the Joyful Demon probably thought that he would be beaten half to death by the Joyful Demon, or even be seriously injured or killed by the Joyful Demon, so they had some other ideas.

It is a deeply ingrained belief among all cultivators in Tiannan that a great cultivator is difficult to overthrow from below.

But no one expected that he would become a dark horse and become the fourth giant in Tiannan in one battle.

Moreover, it is the most dangerous of the four giants.

...

When Baiqiaoyuan learned of the news, they tried to take remedial action, but it was too late. The three old monsters' escape techniques had slowed down the Fire Dragon Child and Golden Martial Ring, who had been traveling day and night, by more than ten days.

The Fire Dragon Child and Elder Jin from the Ancient Sword Sect arrived just in time, so the Hundred Crafts Academy naturally couldn't make it.

At that time, he had already led everyone to Dongyu Kingdom to discuss cooperation.

The two sides just happened to be out of sync.

As for the handover of the two puppets? That happened later when I visited them.

I remember the three old men at the Hundred Treasures Institute looked quite pale when they heard him mention "removing the position of guest minister".

Also.

As long as he remains as a guest advisor, the Hundred Crafts Institute is essentially granted a life-saving pass for hundreds of years.

This is an opportunity that Linghu Laoguai longed for but could never obtain.

result.

Driven by greed, the three elders tried to keep the two unfinished puppets, but things went awry, and they lost their get-out-of-jail-free card.

In fact, after this incident, the mockery of Linghu in the Tiannan Nascent Soul circle has subsided considerably.

Over the years, the general consensus on Linghu Laozu has been that he is blind to talent. In all other respects, his judgments have been largely sound.

The three elders of the Hundred Crafts Institute, however, suffered a severe blow to their reputation after this incident. Outsiders unanimously described them as blindly greedy. Of course.

This is also Han Li's own fault.

It's not unusual for the Hundred Crafts Academy to make a misjudgment, given that they gave six Nascent Soul level puppets to the three elders of the Hundred Crafts Academy for practice, and then there was the rash action of the rebellious cultivator Ni Fa.
...

"Junior Brother Yan, have the Yan family members been settled?"

"Thank you for your concern, Sect Master. Half of my clansmen have come. There are over twenty people with dual spiritual roots, two with unique spiritual roots, and five with special physiques—all promising talents..."

This is the Yan family's attitude.

It's also about perspective.

Han Li nodded upon hearing this:
“We should nurture them according to their strengths and interests.”

Cultivating interests can help young people persevere on their chosen path, emphasizing motivation and enthusiasm.

Training based on special talents is to help the little ones achieve twice the results with half the effort.

Only by taking a two-pronged approach can the tradition be passed down from generation to generation.

"For body tempering, go find the Grand Elder."

"If you want practical experience, go to the Second Elder."

"Draw talismans and go to Qingxu Sect for instruction; they will make things easier for you there."

"To find a weapon forging workshop, inquire at the Divine Weapon Hall..."

It is worth mentioning that the once-declining Divine Weapon Sect was also incorporated into Han Li's forces.

The Divine Weapon Sect was one of the three major sects of the Yuanwu Kingdom back then.

Years have passed, and of the three Nascent Soul stage cultivators, one died in battle, one passed away from severe injuries, and the third also passed away decades ago. Crucially, there has been no successor. For years, they have been barely surviving within the Heavenly Dao Alliance's sphere of influence, with only five Core Formation stage cultivators remaining.

When Han Li sought him out, he immediately agreed to follow him to the Yue Kingdom.

It's close to home.

They won't have to be bothered or bullied anymore.

"To learn swordsmanship, you can go to the Greatsword Sect or the Ancient Sword Sect."

The Greatsword Sect still possesses a certain level of skill in the inheritance of sword techniques at the low to mid-levels.

The Greatsword Technique was something the original owner used from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Nascent Soul stage.

The Greatsword Sect excels at the Greatsword Technique, a powerful burst attack.

The Ancient Sword Sect, on the other hand, employs advanced techniques such as transforming sword energy into silk threads.

In short, as long as you accumulate enough merits, you can open doors of convenience for everyone.

To this end, Han Li even provided his disciples in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages with the method of "Sword Sacrifice," which is the secret technique for forging the Silver Radiance Sword. In this way, even if someone else seizes a flying sword that has been refined with their heart's blood, they will be unable to use it.

As for the journey?

There is no route.

The Ancient Sword Sect has assigned three Core Formation stage cultivators to the Xuan Tian Sect for networking purposes. There's no reason not to take advantage of it.

Everyone tacitly agrees on this.

"Seeking alchemy, I am looking for an alchemist from the Luoyun Sect."

Cheng Tiankun arranged for three alchemy masters from the Luoyun Sect to come, and more than twenty other excellent alchemists to come as well.

They also gave their full support.

"... "

Inside the hall, everyone could see Han Li's concern for the Yan family.

Even cultivators from established families were filled with envy and doubt at this moment:

"The Yan family actually has so many promising talents?"

"Because they went to the far west early."

An insider explained.

"What does this have to do with the far west?"

“In the far west, there may be no high-level resources, but the land is vast enough and the population base is very large.”

With a larger population base, the possibility of producing geniuses with dual spiritual roots, different spiritual roots, special physiques, or even heavenly spiritual roots will increase.

"The Yan family established themselves there early and discovered many promising young talents with excellent spiritual roots. They then arranged for these promising young talents to marry into the family and marry into the clan members with good spiritual roots."

Most importantly, the Yan family also arranged for women of average talent in the clan to become concubines for cultivators with good spiritual roots.

The main idea is to make the best use of each person's abilities.

"In this way, the probability of the Yan family producing a cultivator with both spiritual roots and excellent spiritual root aptitude is naturally very high."

Over the decades, the Yan family's size has increased more than fourfold.

Overall, the Yan family is living a more and more comfortable life.

Furthermore, the Yan family not only allows outsider geniuses who marry into the family to be infatuated with women, but also encourages it. How can an outsider who is infatuated with women possibly become a true powerhouse and seize power from the direct line of the Yan family? This is the move that everyone admires the most.

but.

Even with Han Li's connections, the Yan family has only ever developed in a small area in the far north of the far west, never extending its reach to the other major regions of the far west.

It did not affect the development of the Thousand Bamboo Sect.

This is what someone appreciates most.
