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

Chapter 60 If Eyes Could Kill

"Then comes remote reconnaissance and surveillance..."

He chose a Wind Howling Eagle that went up to the top.

"The key is, we can't miss out on these precious medicinal herbs..."

Therefore, sniffer rats are also indispensable.

He even planned to ask Dong Xuan'er to rent a Twin-Eyed Rat a few days before the Blood Forbidden Land opened.

Although the Twin-Eyed Rat is not very strong in combat, this little creature is extremely sensitive to spiritual energy, which might allow him to gain some unexpected benefits in the Crimson Forbidden Land.

Three hours later, the two men, who had thoroughly examined the Qilin Pavilion, finally stopped and stood still.

"Is it enough?"

"Okay."

At this moment, Han Li was not as excited as before, but he was still a little excited.

Through Dong Xuan'er, he rented a total of five spirit beasts on this trip: one top-tier level 1 Jade Mantis, one Ganglie Boar, one Icefire Wolf, one high-tier Wind Howling Eagle, and one mid-tier Spirit-Sniffing Rat.

They are all level 1 monsters.

The reason I didn't choose level 2 is because of the influence of the wind attribute array outside the Crimson Forbidden Land.

The sealing formation is still in place. Only Qi Refining stage cultivators or level 1 individual demonic beasts can pass through it without injury. Level 2 demonic beasts or beings with Foundation Establishment stage or higher cultivation levels cannot enter the forbidden area. Even if you rent one, you can't bring it in.

Of course, those with cultivation levels as high as the late Nascent Soul stage can force their way through the formation during its weakened phase.

Seeing that Dong Xuan'er had no intention of choosing any more spirit beasts, the young man from the Tong family timely handed over several black tokens that resembled magical artifacts:
"Uncle-Master, these are the life-bound soul tablets of several spirit beasts. Only by possessing these soul tablets can we command them. Once the soul tablets are lost..."

"Don't worry, it won't be lost."

Dong Xuan'er waved her hand.

This is the difference between renting and buying.

After purchasing, the spirit beast will recognize you as its master, so there's no need for a spirit tablet to restrict it like a leash.

However, if you are only renting it, you must use the spirit beast as a leash to prevent it from turning against you.

However, controlling a soul tablet is not as effective as commanding it by recognizing its master.

The former is not as close as the latter; you must spend time cultivating a tacit understanding and letting the spirit beast know that you are its temporary master.

"Go back and get to know these spirit beasts well. There are still four months left, which should be enough time for you to develop a certain level of combat strength," Dong Xuan'er said.

"Mm." Han Li nodded.

The young man from Qilin Pavilion escorted the two to the main gate of Qilin Pavilion.
"Uncle-Master, take care."

He always treated Dong Xuan'er with utmost respect.

He also maintained a certain degree of respect for Han Li, who was in the Qi Refining stage.

...

On the way back to Hongying Mountain, Han Li was secretly excited, but also under tremendous financial pressure.

"To cultivate a better understanding with these spirit beasts, I need to pay an extra forty-eight spirit stones per month for rental fees. This cost..."

"Be content, it's still more cost-effective than buying something," Dong Xuan'er said. "Besides, it's only for four months..."

...

More than a month later.

In a forest near the Red Tassel Mountains.

Two figures, one tall and one short, darted through the woods.

The small, green figure ahead was a praying mantis, no bigger than a dinner plate. This mantis moved through the forest with ghostly speed, so fast that only its afterimage could be seen.

Closely following behind him was Han Li, who had become even more tanned.

Han Li's speed was also quite fast.

It has already surpassed the speed-type animal, the cheetah.

It was not left behind by the Jade Mantis in front.

This speed is due in part to the incredible speed provided by Luo Yan's Wind-Riding Step, and in part to the speed boost from the pair of high-grade magic artifact boots she's wearing.

Several months ago, he asked the market in Huangfeng Valley to find top-tier magic boots that could increase a cultivator's movement speed. However, such magic boots were rare treasures for most Foundation Establishment cultivators, and they would be snapped up as soon as they appeared. Although Wanbaolou helped him search, the time was too short, and they only found him a pair of high-tier magic boots with the effect of divine speed.

The price was ridiculously high; they actually asked for 160 low-grade spirit stones.

It's twice as expensive as a typical high-grade magic weapon.

However, wearing these magic boots can steadily increase his speed by 20%.

And after numerous tests over the past few days, he has figured out his movement speed in different states.

Green Leaf Magic Weapon Flight: Slightly faster than a galloping horse, at about 66 feet per second.

Luo Yan's Wind-Riding Step: 72 feet per second.

Luo Yan's Wind-Riding Step + Lightness Technique: 84 feet per second.

Flying on a sword: The average speed is about 105 feet per second.

Luo Yan's Wind-Riding Step + Lightness Skill + High-Tier Magic Boots: 101 feet per second in a straight line. Almost as fast as flying on a sword. Changing positions while running: 95 feet per second, minimal impact on speed. Running back and forth: 80 feet per second. As for the Jade Mantis's speed?

The fastest straight-line impact can reach 120 feet per second.

By constantly changing body position, one can also achieve a speed of 95 to 110 feet per second.

Because of its small size, the jade mantis is not hindered from moving by the dense foliage of trees when fighting in the forest.

He can cooperate with him very well.

"hold head high…"

After two figures, one large and one small, sped out of the forest, a giant wild boar, over ten feet long, crashed through a large tree and charged straight out as well.

It was indeed a spiky boar.

The two tusks on either side of this hyena's mouth were curved and gleamed coldly, like two scimitars.

The tree wasn't just broken by this big guy; more importantly, its trunk was severed by two fangs.

"hold head high…"

The swooping hyenas galloping across the grassland gave Han Li the illusion that a dump truck was chasing after them.

Once the speed increases, it becomes even more terrifying.

After the brute boar, came an ice-fire wolf.

When its entire body turns red, it can continuously spew out high-temperature fireballs, comparable to multiple level 1 mid-tier fire spells. When its entire body turns blue, it is a sign that ice spells are brewing within its abdomen.

Inside Han Li's pocket, a small head would occasionally peek out; it was the mid-level Level 1 Spirit-Sniffing Rat.

"The Crimson Trial, come!"

He leaped up, jumped onto the back of the spiky boar, and rode off at breakneck speed, charging and crashing about.
"hold head high…!"

At the same time: "Whoosh whoosh..."

One on the left and one on the right, the two chains are like two swimming dragons, these are the exquisite top-grade magic artifacts, the Azure Dragon Chains.

...

This is also the day.

Upon returning to his cave, Han Li received a communication talisman from Dong Xuan'er.

The text contained only one sentence: "Lu Jiafeng and the seven women of the Chen family went to the Hundred Machines Hall to go out."

Han Li was stunned after reading the message:

"Leaving Yellow Maple Valley at this critical juncture... Is Lu Chengfeng still planning to attack Chen Qiaoqian? But why?"

Dong Xuan'er had been building her foundation for several months and hadn't had much interaction with Senior Brother Lu, who had a wind spiritual root. Logically speaking, it was impossible for someone surnamed Lu to abandon Chen Qiaoqian, who was still a well-behaved girl at the moment.

Little did Han Li know that the butterfly effect he created would greatly stimulate Lu Chengfeng.

"No matter what, as long as that Lu guy dares to lay a hand on Chen Qiaoqian, his Foundation Establishment Pill will be mine."

Han Li got up and walked out of the cave.

His storage pouch opened, and a flying sword landed at his feet.

Then he took a step and stepped onto the flying sword.

the other side.

Dong Xuan'er watched Han Li's departing figure, her brows furrowed in thought:
Why is he so concerned about that guy surnamed Lu?

That guy surnamed Lu is no good; he's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

I don't understand what Han Li is thinking.

But suddenly, something occurred to her, and her brows furrowed unconsciously:
"Wait a minute, could it be that Han Li has taken a liking to the Chen family's daughter?"

For some reason, Dong Xuan'er felt a complex mix of emotions—bitterness, incomprehension, and grievance—rising within her. She unconsciously bit her lip.

...

The eastern outer perimeter of the Taiyue Mountains.

A remote and desolate place.

A beam of light descended, revealing a man and a woman.

The young man, dressed in white, was handsome and had a striking appearance. He was at the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

The woman, dressed in a pink gauze dress, with flowing black hair, was charming and adorable, and also possessed the magical power fluctuations of the eleventh level of Qi Refining.

The young woman was now leaning weakly against the young man's chest, wanting to speak but unable to utter a word.

"Junior sister, the environment here is quite nice, let's get things done here. This is your first time, and it's only my teens, so let's not waste this opportunity..." the young man said with a wicked smile.

This person was none other than Senior Brother Lu, who possessed the Wind Spirit Root from Yellow Maple Valley.

The woman looked at the man surnamed Lu with a face full of shock, anger, and indignation.

If looks could kill, Senior Brother Lu would have been skinned alive by that woman a thousand times over.
