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

Chapter 318 Wei Wuyai Sends Treasure
“Brother Wei, that Saintess Mulan is the number one female cultivator among the Mulan people. Her strength is comparable to that of a great cultivator. Legend has it that she can also summon the Mulan Sacred Bird, which the Mulan people have worshipped for tens of thousands of years, to fight against her. If she successfully summons the Mulan Sacred Bird, she will be even more difficult to deal with. Dealing with this woman will involve a great risk. What are you all prepared to offer?”

Han Li was also direct.

He immediately demanded benefits upon opening his mouth.

And that is one of the benefits of being a mercenary.

Demanding money should be done with a clear conscience:

"Furthermore, let me make this clear from the outset: I, Han, will only keep them occupied and will not engage in a direct confrontation. If I am truly outmatched, I, Han, have the right to withdraw on my own."

After pondering for a moment, Wei Wuyai nodded.

"can."

For us cultivators, preserving our lives is the top priority, which I understand.

As long as the person in front of them can delay Saintess Mulan, they have a chance to win a victory.

The most important thing is to take this opportunity to test the level of the Mulan Sacred Bird and make some preparations for the final battle, so as not to be caught off guard by the Mulan people again.

Subsequently.

The two sides engaged in a tug-of-war over the issue of payment.

Wei Wuyai finally took out three jade boxes covered with talismans.

Han Li took the jade box, opened it, and his eyes lit up immediately.

The first jade box contained a stone whose surface crackled with purple lightning:
"What a fine piece of thunder crystal! I estimate it weighs about five pounds. This is truly rare. How did you obtain it, Brother Wei?"

Wei Wuyai was also honest and readily revealed his origins:
"This is a piece that I, Wei, found inside the body of a Thunder Beast that I killed in the rich area where the two major tribes of the Mulan Grassland were located. It weighs five jin and one liang and is an excellent material for forging thunder-type treasures. It is extremely rare. If this material were not incompatible with the attributes of my cultivation technique, I would probably have already forged it into a powerful thunder-type magic weapon."

"Not bad."

Han Li nodded in satisfaction.

Also expressing satisfaction was the Great Evolution God Lord inside the ancient bamboo tube treasure on his back.

High-quality Thunder Crystal is one of the essential materials for creating Nascent Soul level puppets.

The more the merrier.

As soon as the second jade box was opened, a scorching heat rushed out.

Han Li looked closely and saw two fiery red feathers, each half a foot long, inside the box.

"This is... the tail feather of a level seven spirit bird?"

Han Li asked in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Wei Wuyai shook his head and corrected him:
"No, these are feathers from an eighth-level Fat Sun Bird!"

"There's an ancient level-eight Zhiyang Bird in this realm? Impossible!"

Han Li's eyes flickered slightly.

"There was one six hundred years ago. The first tribe of the Mulan people kept one at that time. However, it is said that it died in a great battle with the Tuwu people. Therefore, it is unknown whether there are any other Zhiyang birds in this world."

Wei Wuyai said.

"How did Brother Wei obtain these two feathers?"

“Over a hundred years ago, I fought a mid-stage Nascent Soul Grandmaster from the Mulan people. I poisoned him and obtained his storage bag. Inside were these two fire-attribute feathers. I heard that Fellow Daoist Han is collecting feathers from various high-level fire-attribute spirit birds, so I thought of this feather from the Zhiyang Bird. Fellow Daoist Han, are you satisfied with these two fire-attribute tail feathers from the Zhiyang Bird?”

"Brother Wei, you're very kind."

He is satisfied.

Haoyang Bird, Wufeng, and Zhiyang Bird are all ancient fire-type spirit birds, each with its own unique characteristics.

The tail feathers of the spirit bird, containing nearly half of its body's fire attribute essence, are the most suitable material for crafting a replica of the Seven Flames Fan.

To others, these two tail feathers would be of limited value, at most enough to forge an ordinary Nascent Soul-level fire-type magic weapon. But to him, they were crucial materials for crafting a replica of the Three Flames Fan, a spiritual treasure.

After all, the higher the quality of the fire-type feathers used for refining weapons, the greater the power of the resulting replica Three Flame Fan.

"Brother Wei, if you can get a few more fire-type feathers of this caliber, I, Han, will reward you handsomely."

"Fellow Daoist Han, fire-type feathers of this level are not easy to find."

Wei Wuyai shook his head slightly.

It was by chance that he got these two.

It's no exaggeration to say that there are only two of these in the entire southern region.

The third jade box contained a section of vine with withered yellow leaves.

"Mysterious Heavenly Vine?"

“Indeed, this item was obtained by me from Fellow Daoist Xuanjizi of the Tianji Sect. Fellow Daoist Han possesses pure wood-attribute magic power, so this item is likely to be quite compatible with your main cultivation method. Moreover, I heard Fellow Daoist Zhiyang mention that Fellow Daoist Han obtained the root of the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine from him, so I might as well take this vine as well.”

Han Li would naturally not refuse such a benefit offered to him.

...

Three days later.

The Tiannan Allied Forces launched a probing attack on the Mulan Front.

The army launched attacks in waves on the makeshift fortresses and defensive lines erected by the Mulan people.

Initially, Tiannan completely lacked the one-on-one "fighting spirit" of the original Huanglong Mountain battle. With the advantage in our hands, there was no need to fight to win or boost morale.

What Tiannan's group of cultivators possesses is a team-building culture of collective action.

And they often feel more at ease when facing two opponents out of three.

Almost every small battlefield was a battle of overwhelming advantage.

This is inseparable from Long Han's excellent formation and command skills.

This man is a born conductor.

His control over the details of the battlefield was so precise that it was almost superb.

Even in a fair 10 vs 10 match, Long Han managed to create the effect of a 12 vs 10 victory through precise positioning and movement.

As for the slightly advantageous 12-on-10 matchup? This player further amplified his advantage, turning it into a crushing 15-on-10 situation.

After a round of siege warfare, the Mulan people suffered heavy losses. The fortress positions they had built with a lot of spiritual materials were destroyed, and their defensive line retreated three thousand miles in a single day.

In contrast, the number of personnel losses in Tiannan was nearly half that of Tiannan.

This is the result of superior troop strength and skillful command.

Moreover, this was under the circumstances where the Mulan people relied on the array formations and restrictions to resist step by step and advance cautiously.

In order to reverse the decline and restore morale, the three great masters of Mulan took the initiative to entangle the three great cultivators of Tiannan, inviting them to fight at a height of ten thousand feet in the sky, creating an opportunity for the rest of the Nascent Soul stage in the clan to gain the upper hand.

Upon seeing this, the Grand Master of the Mulan people immediately seized the opportunity to challenge them to a duel.

They attempted to win through a one-on-one duel with someone of the same level, hoping to gain a small advantage over the southern region.

If one or two Nascent Soul stage monsters from Tiannan can be killed, the morale of the people below will be greatly boosted, and the situation can be stabilized again.

But this time, the Mulan people played right into the hands of the Tiannan leadership.

"People of Tiannan, which of you dares to step forward and fight me, Mu?"

On Mulan's side, a streak of light shot out from one of the army formations.

After the light faded, an elderly man in his sixties appeared.

This person had strange blue tattoos on both sides of his face and wore a peculiar blue brocade robe.

His cultivation level was at the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and he had one foot in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"It's him?!"

Tiannan camp.

Han Li spotted Master Mu immediately and unconsciously narrowed his eyes.

This Grand Master Mulan was originally his money-bringing attendant.

Upon seeing this person, many of the early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators from Tiannan, who considered themselves quite strong, wanted to give it a try.

For example, the Fire Dragon Child of the Ancient Sword Sect is eager to try.

Having obtained a small piece of Gengjin and reforged his natal flying sword, the Fire Dragon Child's strength increased by more than 30%. If he could win this battle, he could gain even more benefits from the three great cultivators, so he naturally intended to participate.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, please calm down. This person's strength is no weaker than that of a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator."

Han Li transmitted his voice just as the Fire Dragon Child was about to enter the arena.

This immediately stopped Xiaotong from going on stage.

"Fellow Daoist Han, is it true?" The boy turned his head and looked at Han Li in the crowd.

"This person is the leader of one of the ten major tribes of Mulan, possessing two of his tribe's most prized treasures. One is the Thousand-Layer Mountain, a top-tier, powerful ancient treasure. While it appears cumbersome, it has many ingenious uses. It can slow down other people's magical artifacts, similar to the Qiankun Pagoda, and can also confine opponents within a special force field, making escape difficult. If you are even slightly slower, you might be suppressed by the Thousand-Layer Mountain."

He escaped using lightning techniques, following the original trajectory.

I later obtained this treasure.

Ultimately, this treasure was destroyed in the fight against the ancient demon.

It's a pity.

"This person also has a Wind Chariot, so even if he can't beat you, he can still shake you off. In addition, his spiritual techniques are also extraordinary. If you don't have a way to counter him, it's best not to force it. Don't get injured before the final battle."

He has a great opportunity to give to the fire dragon when the final battle is about to begin.

"it is good."

Fire Dragon Boy is someone who listens to advice.

Han Li's strength and reputation speak for themselves.

They haven't betrayed their own people yet.

Although it's unclear where Han Li got the information about Grandmaster Mulan, he certainly wouldn't have tricked him.

After all, both the Ancient Sword Sect and the Falling Cloud Sect now have ambiguous relationships with the Profound Heaven Sect.

If this trend continues, the three families might become one family in the future.

Just then.

Someone from the south stepped forward:

"I, Qi, have come to meet you."

This person is at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.

I heard that he once fought a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert and escaped unscathed.

Their strength is still quite good.

Facing Master Mu, this man directly summoned two ancient treasures: a pair of bronze halberds and a banner.

The banner released a mist to conceal their figures, while the pair of bronze halberds transformed into two streaks of light as they attacked.

Seeing this, Master Mu condensed a blue ball of light with his spiritual magic. The ball of light first shot dozens of ice spikes at the two bronze halberds of the Qi surname cultivator. Seeing that the ice spikes were all shattered with a series of "poof poof poof" sounds, he immediately changed his attack to defense, manipulating the blue ball of light to release a large amount of ice-blue radiance.

These rays of light spread around him and quickly coalesced into a thick light curtain.

The copper halberd's attack struck the ice-blue light barrier but failed to achieve its goal.

“Fellow Daoist Qi, this ice-attribute spiritual technique is strange. Be careful of his chilling aura. This person should be an ice-elemental mage who specializes in ice-based spiritual techniques.”

Han Li, who was observing the battle with his Mingqing spiritual eyes, moved his lips slightly and transmitted his voice to the Qi-surnamed cultivator on the battlefield.

Unlike life-or-death battles that are isolated from the outside world, this open competition not only tests individual abilities but also the skills of teammates.

Transmitting sound from outside the venue is feasible.

They can even step in to save lives when necessary.

Just as Han Li noticed something was wrong and sent a telepathic message, the pair of ancient bronze halberds belonging to the Qi-surname cultivator malfunctioned. They were submerged and frozen by the sudden burst of ice tide and were unable to break free for a short period of time.

"what happened?"

Many of the Nascent Soul cultivators from Tiannan who were watching the battle were puzzled.

"That person specializes in ice-attribute cold energy."

The ancient bronze halberd was frozen solid, partly due to the previous icicles.

The real power of those ice spikes lies not in their direct attack, but in the "mysterious and cold energy" they contain.

This chilling aura was incredibly cold, capable of freezing not only cultivators but also magical artifacts and ancient treasures. Unsuspecting cultivators could easily fall victim to it and suffer losses. A mere touch would be easily dispelled, but the copper halberd not only became tainted by the profound chilling aura within the ice cone but also repeatedly attacked the blue ice shield.

This light shield, to put it simply, is also condensed from profound and cold energy.

The bronze halberd had absorbed too much cold air, which is why it was frozen.

The cultivator surnamed Qi seemed to have been unprepared for this.

"These antiques are quite nice, so I won't stand on ceremony."

Master Mu provoked the bronze halberd with words while beckoning it towards the frozen halberd.

However, just as the old man was about to succeed, a sudden change occurred.

The copper halberd, which had been frozen, suddenly burst into flames, shattering the ice and shooting out with intense fire. One blade-like halberd slashed towards Master Mu's outstretched hand, while the other aimed directly at Master Mu's face.

Upon seeing this, Master Mu was startled, but the next moment, a cold smile appeared on his lips. With his other free hand, a flash of light appeared in his palm, and a small black mountain appeared, which was placed in front of him and crashed into the two bronze halberds.

"Fellow Daoist Qi, quickly put away your bronze halberd. That is the top-tier ancient treasure, Thousand Peaks, which can suppress all other treasures."

Han Li transmitted his voice again.

However, this time, whether the cultivator surnamed Qi was slow to react, overly confident in his ancient treasure, or interfered with by the telepathic communication of other cultivators, he failed to retrieve the pair of bronze halberds in time.

next moment.

The black miniature mountain suddenly swelled to several meters in size, causing the two bronze halberds to fly backward on the spot.

"not good!"

Only now does this person want to take back his treasure.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

A beam of mysterious light swept over and suppressed the bronze halberd beneath the mountain.

Moreover, a size of several meters is far from the limit of the Thousand Peaks.

A breath later, it was several feet, tens of feet, hundreds of feet!
A mountain, three or four hundred meters high, was supported by a figure as small as an ant; the scene was simply magnificent.

That oppressive feeling weighed heavily on the hearts of countless cultivators in Tiannan.

"Go back!"

This time, Han Li not only sent a warning through telepathy, but also signaled Barbarian Beard to come to the rescue. Barbarian Beard twisted his neck, then immediately spread his Wind and Fire Wings and used Wind Escape to rush out of the camp and head towards the rescue of the Qi-surnamed cultivator.

The cultivator surnamed Qi was puzzled.

The next moment, he knew why he had to back down.

Master Mu pointed at Thousand Peaks, and the mountain, hundreds of feet high, suddenly appeared above his head before crashing down with immense force and earthen yellow light.

"What? Teleportation!"

Upon seeing this, the cultivators from Tiannan all changed color in shock.

The cultivator surnamed Qi was even more astonished.

"How is that possible? How can such a massive mountain teleport like a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

The fact that someone could use a teleportation technique on a mountain hundreds of feet high, similar to a Nascent Soul cultivator, is simply outrageous.

The Qi-surnamed cultivator, hiding within the banner mist, attempted to use it to conceal his movements before turning and fleeing. However, the earthen-yellow light emanating from the Thousand Mountains possessed an extremely heavy suppressive force, greatly reducing his speed. Furthermore, the banner mist was dispelled by the earthen-yellow light released by the suppressed mountain peaks, revealing the panicked Qi-surnamed cultivator within.

"Can't escape?"

It's going to happen!

The towering peaks that were pressing down were only a dozen feet away from him.

If they don't escape now, they will surely die.

After all, even a great cultivator would find it difficult to withstand being hit by an ancient treasure of this size.

"hateful."

The cultivator surnamed Qi hesitated for only a moment before a spiritual light shone between his brows, and then a small Nascent Soul figure emerged.

This person was also decisive; sensing something was wrong, he immediately abandoned his physical body and nascent soul to escape.

To everyone's surprise, a figure walked against the light and deliberately rushed into the suppression range of Qianchongfeng.

"boom…!"

The mountain pressed down and crashed onto the earth, causing numerous cracks within a radius of twenty to thirty miles, and the resulting gale whipped up a large amount of flying sand and stones.

Immediately afterwards, all the cultivators from both sides who participated in the battle widened their eyes.

"Then, what is that?"
