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

Chapter 39 Han Li, Be My Son-in-Law

In the following days, Han Li learned about the events of the past two years from Mo Juren.

Ever since he realized the important relationship between spiritual roots and the attributes of cultivation techniques, Mo Juren could no longer sit still and chose to go down the mountain to try again.

That time, Doctor Mo was lucky. With the active cooperation of Yu Zitong, who acted as a guide, they raided the mortal assets of the Yu family, a cultivation family from the Yue Kingdom, and seized a batch of low-grade spiritual herbs and medicines. They also abducted several children.

Among the children, there are quite a few who possess spiritual roots and are considered to be immortal.

For example, the body I have right now has the three spiritual roots of metal, fire, and earth.

Although unable to cultivate the wood-attribute Everlasting Spring Technique, they can cultivate fire-attribute techniques very well. Moreover, compared to most people with three spiritual roots, their cultivation speed is much faster.

Clearly, there are subtle differences among the three spiritual roots.

In addition, the medicinal liquid aided in the cultivation.

In just over two months, I reached the first level of Qi Refining.

In about six months, he reached the second level of Qi Refining.

In just over a year, he reached the third level of Qi Refining.

When the spiritual herbs and medicines were almost exhausted, the cultivation speed gradually slowed down.

More than two years later, he reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.

More than a year later, he has only reached the peak of the fourth level of Qi Refining. He is still just a little bit short of the fifth level of the cultivation technique.

It's unusual for a cultivator with three spiritual roots to hit a bottleneck at only the fourth level of Qi Refining. Normally, cultivators with three spiritual roots don't hit a bottleneck until the sixth level of Qi Refining. Is there some hidden reason for this?
Before attempting to possess Zhang Tie's body, Doctor Mo secretly returned to the Seven Mysteries Sect and took Zhang Tie with him. He then refined Zhang Tie, who had luckily reached the fifth level of the Elephant Armor Technique, into a corpse puppet, thus obtaining an exceptionally powerful semi-finished corpse.

During the possession, the corpse puppet "Iron Slave" helped protect the Dharma.

Moreover, the possession was not as uneventful as one might imagine.

It turns out that Yu Zitong had been waiting in seclusion for many years.

Limited by the three principles of possession, Yu Zitong could not possess Mo Juren, who was a mortal, so he could only temporarily reside in Mo Juren's body. Over the years, in order to prevent being assimilated, he was extremely careful, but he still suffered great losses.

The remaining primordial spirit energy and mana, seemingly at the seventh level of Qi Refining, were actually inferior even to a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

In order to be reborn through possession in the same way, Yu Zitong fabricated a lie.

In other words, if Doctor Mo wants to cultivate immortality, he must possess the body of a cultivator. The minimum cultivation level required for possession is that the possessed person must reach the fourth level of Qi Refining.

In fact, there is no need to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining. As long as Mo Juren temporarily possesses his own magical power and can materialize his primordial spirit and separate it from his body, he can seize another's body.

The reason for setting the fourth level of Qi Refining as a limitation for Mo Juren is very simple.

Because Mo Juren's vital essence was squeezed and transformed using the Seven Ghosts Devouring Soul Technique, the temporary magical power he gained was roughly at the level of the fourth level of Qi Refining, which was slightly stronger than Yu Zitong, whose vital energy was severely damaged. If Mo Juren were to possess a cultivator below the fourth level of Qi Refining, the probability of Doctor Mo succeeding in one fell swoop would be very high, but it would not be in his own interest. Only by having Mo Juren possess another cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining could a fierce battle between them occur.

At that time, it is highly likely that both sides will suffer heavy losses.

In this way, when Yu Zitong comes out to clean up the mess and take advantage of the situation, he can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

This was all planned.

just.

Yu Zitong had calculated everything, but he hadn't anticipated the impact of Han Li's words on Mo Juren.

When Mo Juren discovered that Yu Zitong was hiding many things from him, his guard was greatly strengthened. He also repeatedly examined what had seemed like an inevitable success in the past, discovering some hidden dangers.

Therefore, a slave-like training model was adopted when raising these youngsters.

Moreover, after this child's body reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, the child's soul was severely injured and even stripped from the body using the secret technique of corpse refining.

The submissive obedience training instilled a subconscious habit of obedience in the children of the Yu family.

His corpse-refining technique further weakened the primordial spirit of the Yu family children, stripping them of their means of resistance.

Then there's the guardian spirit of the corpse puppet that Zhang Tie transformed into.

Both internal and external factors were under the control of Doctor Mo.

When Yu Zitong, thinking he had been watching the fight from the sidelines and that both of his primordial spirits were already severely injured, excitedly jumped out to clean up the mess, he discovered that Doctor Mo had already succeeded. He was simply waiting for Yu Zitong to walk right into the trap. One held the home ground, the other was severely weakened, and crucially, the latter's strength was not superior to the former's; in fact, it was somewhat inferior.

Furthermore, one of the three ironclad rules of possession is that one can only possess once. Wasn't Yu Zitong's act of cleaning up the mess a waste of his only chance to possess another body?
It is no longer possible to possess another person's body.

At this point, Doctor Mo gained Yu Zitong, the "grandpa" of the cultivation world, without shedding a drop of blood.

After squeezing all the value out of Yu Zitong, Mo Juren carelessly eliminated this scourge.

From then on, the Yu family children were all Mo Juren, and Mo Juren remained the same ruthless and powerful figure.

After spending some time adapting to his body and mastering the magical powers of a cultivator, he felt perfectly healthy and immediately took the Corpse Puppet Iron Slave back to Jiayuan City in Lanzhou to see his family.

After explaining the coded language and demonstrating his magical powers, he quickly gained the trust of his family.

Thus began the journey of the Jingjiao Society's rise.

First, select subordinates with suitable physiques, good talent, and utmost loyalty, and teach them the Elephant Armor Technique. These will be the materials for refining corpse puppets later.

It's worth mentioning that while Mo Juren was teaching Han Li medicine, he also learned some things from Han Li. For example, he learned about medicines to alleviate physical pain. It was precisely because of the appearance of these medicines that many of his trained subordinates were able to master the Elephant Armor Technique within a year, and some even achieved the second level of the technique.

Given more time, it would be easy for Mo Juren to eliminate the other martial arts forces in Jiayuan City and thus dominate the martial arts world of Jiayuan City and even Lanzhou.

No matter what.

Before this disciple had much time to accumulate experience and grow, his former disciple Han Li appeared.

With unparalleled power, they extinguished Doctor Mo's burning ambition.

A generation of heroes has come to an end.

It's truly heartbreaking.

"Do you have any last words you want to say?" Han Li asked Mo Juren, who had explained everything. "For the sake of you leading me into the immortal sect back then, I can grant you a small wish, depending on my mood."

"... "

After a moment of silence, Dr. Mo looked up, his face pleading:
"Han Li, let's settle our scores between you and me, master and disciple. What do you say? My wives and my beloved daughters are all innocent; don't involve them..."

“They are just ordinary people, unable to cultivate immortality. You, on the other hand, are a cultivator, capable of pursuing immortality. Moreover, you are young and not prone to illness, so you will definitely live longer than them. They pose no threat to you.”

"Furthermore, I didn't tell them about the Seven Mysteries Sect..."

In other words, no clues were left.

"As for the battle at the Mo residence just now? They were far from the battle. In the dark, even I, a cultivator, needed to use my Heavenly Eye Technique to observe you, so it was even more impossible for them to see you clearly."

The implication is that there is no threat, and it poses no threat to Han Li's relatives and friends.

Han Li raised an eyebrow:
"that's it?"

You're not going to beg me to let you go?

Doctor Mo smiled bitterly: How could he possibly harbor such fantasies?
"Han Li, although I had feelings for you in the past, I did not cause you any real harm. On the contrary, I carefully cultivated you and did my best to help you improve your cultivation. I have done my part, but I have also worked hard. I will take responsibility for my actions. Do as you please..." The once powerful and ruthless man couldn't help but have his eyes slightly red at this moment.

This left Han Li with mixed feelings.

Even the seemingly cold-hearted Dr. Mo has such a soft side.
Wait, could it be that he's playing the role of the actor?
No.

There's no need to play him anymore.

Doctor Mo knew very well that he was doomed to die this time, with no chance of survival.

All we can do is try to ensure our family's survival.

"Han Li, the Jingjiao Society, which I founded in my lifetime, has over 100,000 ordinary members and over 15,000 core members. It is one of the three major overlords in Lanzhou today, and also the most powerful of the three. If you are interested, you can inherit this family business as my disciple. My family is small and will not make things difficult for you. What they need is a pillar of support."

Seeing the disdain on the young man's face, Mo Juren continued.

"Han Li, don't underestimate the power of mortal forces. After you take over the Jingjiao Society, you can have your subordinates help you find spiritual herbs and medicines. Tens of thousands of people conducting a thorough search is much more efficient than you doing it alone. Moreover, mortals in this mortal world may have rare and precious spiritual herbs and medicines in their possession."

For example, the one that Yu Zitong encountered.

"My beloved daughters are all stunningly beautiful; you may choose one or even marry them all..."

These were Dr. Mo's last words.
