A Mortal's Story of Cultivation into Immortality

"You want so many souls?" When Han Li heard this, his expression changed greatly.

"Hehe, what I said is already very little. If you want to truly exert the power of the Red Soul Banner, it will take tens of thousands of souls. Because Taoist friends are just pretending to be objects, so you can consider reducing the number. The real Red Soul Banner Although the Soul Banner is not among the heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, it is not far worse than ordinary spiritual treasures. Especially its spatial magical power has attracted the attention of many monks." The boy said with a faint smile.

"Tens of millions of souls! Unless you massacre the city and destroy the island, it's impossible to find so many souls. Hey, maybe there is a way to make it up without doing such a thing!" Han Li said repeatedly first He shook his head, but suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred, and he remembered something with a slight sigh.

"Why, does fellow Taoist have any other wonderful methods?" The boy was a little surprised.

Hearing this, Han Li did not directly answer the boy's question, but looked at the storage bag again and touched it. As a result, a green light flashed and two small light green flags appeared in his hands. These two flags are only a few inches in size, but they are covered with green light and runes. At first glance, they are extraordinary treasures.

It was during his last trip to the Jin Dynasty that he captured two ghost flags, one of which was even owned by Gan Laomo himself. There was another rod that had been filled with demonic energy and transformed into a demonic flag, which fell into the hands of the second Nascent Soul.

"This is this?" The boy's eyes flickered a few times, but he didn't recognize the flag. It's no wonder that when the Great Jin Dynasty visited Kunwu Mountain that day, the avatar of the Celestial Lan Beast had not yet developed its intelligence, so it was natural that Han Li did not receive this treasure. But how could the boy not detect the astonishing spirit energy coming from the two ghost banners.

"I wonder if the ghosts on these flags can be re-sacrificially used on the Red Soul Flag?" Han Li asked the boy solemnly.

"As long as they are spirits, it is naturally possible. But I think these two treasures are not as good as the Red Soul Banner, nor are they like ordinary objects. If we do this, they will be completely destroyed. And with these spirits alone, It's far from enough for the Red Soul Banner to be used for sacrifice." The boy carefully looked at the Oni Luo Banner in Han Li's hand for a while before reminding him.

"It doesn't matter. Although these two treasures are very powerful, I already have the spirit treasure, and I have no use for this level. As for the problem of insufficient number of spirits, if there are more than ten flags like this, it must be Is it enough for the sacrifice?" Han Li touched his chin and said with profound meaning.

"More than ten rods? I understand. These are two pieces of a complete set of treasures? Do you have a few other rods in your hands?" The boy was startled at first, and then became a little enlightened.

"I don't have any other flags in my hand now, but I do know where to find the rest. In fact, having said that, I also know of another similar treasure. The number of demon souls condensed on it is probably far greater than These ghost banners in my hand. It’s a pity that that treasure fell into the hands of a monster in the god transformation stage, and I wasn’t the one who caused it.” Han Li thought of another treasure, and he looked pityful for a moment. .

What he was talking about was naturally the Ten Thousand Demons Banner in the hands of the old demon from the Ten Thousand Demon Valley Che. He had personally experienced the pain of this banner that day. The number and quality of the demon souls hidden in this banner were far inferior to those of the Oni Luo Banner. It would be more suitable if it could be used to sacrifice the Red Soul Banner.

Naturally, the boy didn't know what else Han Li was referring to, but he had no interest in asking anything and just said lightly:

"If Fellow Daoist Han can collect the souls, I can teach fellow Daoist the method of refining the Red Soul Banner for free. After all, the technique of Yuanci Shenguang does seem interesting, and I also want to see how fellow Daoist achieves success. , what kind of power can it have? Is Fellow Daoist Han planning to start this matter immediately after returning to Tiannan?"

"This matter is not urgent. Everything must be done after I have cultivated to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage and completely transformed into the Five Cold Flame Demons. After all, the rest of the Ghost Luo Banners have also fallen into the hands of some Nascent Soul demon cultivators, so let me cultivate them. Let's talk about it in order to be more diligent. Now return to Tiannan." Han Li shook his head and replied like this.

"Then follow your Taoist friend's wishes. After I return, I will first hand over the refining method of the Red Soul Banner to my Taoist friend. You can collect other auxiliary materials first to save time in the future." Tongzi didn't care. , the figure shook, and the shadow collapsed and disappeared.

When Han Li heard this, he was naturally overjoyed. He immediately flicked his sleeves, and a green light erupted all over his body. The light turned into a faint green shadow and flew away through the air. After a moment, it disappeared without a trace on the nearby sea.

A few months later, Han Li returned to Tiannan through the ancient teleportation array.

He collected the six-winged frost centipedes guarding the teleportation array, destroyed the teleportation array again, and then quietly left the underground cave.

Two months later, Han Li returned to the Yunmeng Mountains of Xi Country. After notifying Lu Luo of his return using a transmission talisman, he flew back to Zhimufeng without ever meeting Elder Lu again.

At this time, Nangong Wan was naturally still in seclusion.

Naturally, Han Li did not go to disturb this woman's cultivation. This short period of absence was only a moment for them as cultivators.

The entire Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World didn't even know that he, the number one cultivator in Tiannan, had left the Luoyun Sect for a period of time.

Lu Luo breathed a sigh of relief when he received the news that Han Li was back. The current Luoyun Sect can be completely supported by Han Li's reputation. Unless there are three or four more Nascent Soul-level monks in the sect, other than Han Li, the Luoyun Sect's status as a super sect is too reluctant. .

However, as soon as Han Lifang returned to the cave, he used his flying sword to send a message to Liu Yu and sent a jade slip to Liu Yu. It recorded the auxiliary materials needed to refine the Red Soul Banner, so this woman could try to help him collect them all during his retreat.

Then he entered the secret room and began to practice the last level of Qingyuan Sword Technique and refine the Five Cold Flame Demons at the same time.

Time flies, years pass!

Before you know it, another fifty years have passed!

During this period, Han Li sensed Nangong Wan's departure from seclusion and immediately stopped practicing. He went out to meet his friend and traveled together for half a year.

While traveling, Han Li naturally enjoyed Nangong Wan's lingering tenderness. When the two of them happily returned to Zimu Peak, they naturally started boring retreat practice again.

Speaking of which, this is also a kind of sadness for monks. On the one hand, they can have great magical powers that are difficult for ordinary people to reach and a relatively long life span. On the other hand, they have to practice non-stop before the longevity comes. For the hope of immortality which is almost slim.

If they are really born with great perseverance, fine, they don't find cultivation to be painful, but for ordinary monks, it's a bit of a dilemma.

If I continue to practice, the avenue is extremely elusive. I really don’t want to spend this life boringly in meditation and retreat. If I don’t practice, I will finally have the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivating immortality in this life. No matter how small the hope of the avenue is, I will not be willing to just do it. Like giving up. What's more, with the improvement of each level of realm, it can also bring the powerful temptation of doubling life span.

As a result, this has also caused a polarized scene among the monks in the world of immortality.

On the other hand, those middle and low-level monks with low qualifications and cultivation, once they have achieved some success in their studies and realize that there is little hope of advancing again, they will no longer practice in seclusion, but will prefer to live a free life of keeping concubines and making friends. , some simply returned to the secular world, opened their own families, and became local emperors.

On the other side, those high-level monks realize that they are closer to the road to immortality, so they are not willing to waste any time. They will focus all their attention on cultivation and become indifferent to anything else.

Han Li and Nangong Wan naturally belong to the latter group. One of them is in the late stage of Yuanying and the other is in the middle stage of Yuanying. They are considered top-level monks in the human world. As long as they can ascend to the spiritual world, they are not far from true immortality.

Therefore, although the two became extremely affectionate after becoming partners, they were quite self-sufficient in pursuing love between men and women.

Although the dual cultivation method is also useful for improving one's cultivation, the exercises practiced by the two of them do not involve this method, and the improvement of these magical powers is really not worth mentioning compared to the two of them now. On the contrary, both of them were afraid of being too indulged in it and ruining their state of mind, so they did not deliberately pursue the affairs between men and women, but only tasted it briefly.

On the contrary, because they pursue the same way of heaven, when the two get along, they naturally achieve a heart-to-heart connection and a loving feeling of being in harmony.

So after the two retreated again, they no longer easily came out.

Until that day, a thunderbolt suddenly sounded in the sky above Zimu Peak, and then the vitality of the heaven and earth, centered on this peak, was touched for hundreds of miles.

Countless fist-sized spiritual energy light groups of different colors emerged out of thin air in the ground, rocks, and trees of the nearby mountains, and then quickly gathered towards the Zimu Peak, and finally formed a group with an area of ​​​​counts in the sky above the Zimu Peak. Acres of bright and colorful spiritual clouds are spinning in the high sky. It happened to be aimed at the location of Han Li's cave.

Such a big move naturally alarmed Han Li's disciples on the sub-peak, as well as Nangong Wan who was in retreat. They came out of the retreat room one after another and looked at the signs in the sky with surprised faces.

The Zimu Peak was so close to the Luoyun Sect, and the senior officials in the Natural Sect also sensed this scene. Immediately, more than a dozen dazzling rays of light flew out from the Luoyun Sect's forbidden formation, heading straight for the Zimu Peak. Come.

The two leaders were none other than Lu Luo and the woman surnamed Song who had also advanced to Nascent Soul. There was a faint look of solemnity on both of their faces.

But in a later ray of light, a look of surprise appeared on the face of a woman in a white shirt. Naturally, she was Liu Yu.

Although this woman's cultivation has not improved significantly over the years, her power in the sect is already the most powerful person below Elder Yuanying because she represents Han Li.

Even Lu Luo and the woman named Song were extremely polite to her.

(Second update! Sigh, I wanted to finish coding this chapter before twelve o'clock, but I didn't expect it was still a few minutes late.)
