I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 200 - 196: Foundation Establishment Perfection

When Du Youqian pushed open the door to his seclusion chamber and the light from outside streamed in, he couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed.

This had been the longest period of seclusion in his entire life.

Ever since he had buried the parents of this body and returned to the Sect, he had been in a long period of seclusion.

Five years had passed since then.

Cultivating in seclusion for such a long time, with no contact with anyone, had been almost unbearable, even for someone like him who believed his mental fortitude was already exceptionally strong.

This served as a wake-up call for him.

In the future, when he attempted Core Formation or even Nascent Soul Formation, a single seclusion could last a decade or even longer.

Without a stronger will and the mindset for Longevity and Vision, he would surely be unable to endure such solitude.

Pulling himself from his thoughts, Du Youqian’s gaze fell upon Fang Hua.

She opened her eyes at that very moment, catching his gaze. A blush crept onto her face. "Fellow Daoist Yu, it’s been a long time."

"Have you been waiting outside this whole time?" Du Youqian asked.

Fang Hua shook her head. "I’ve had to step away for things in between."

’So she spent most of her time waiting out here.’

Du Youqian couldn’t help but be moved.

’It wasn’t the first time, but this seclusion was so long that it felt different from before.’

He said softly, "You could have been in seclusion yourself. Why trouble yourself by waiting at my door and delaying your Cultivation?"

Fang Hua took a few steps forward and gently brushed the dust from Du Youqian’s shoulder. "It’s all the same for me. Whether I’m in seclusion or waiting here, it makes no difference."

Du Youqian grasped her hand, and Fang Hua froze in surprise.

He slowly channeled his Magical Power to sense her Cultivation and found that she was telling the truth.

She had already reached the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer.

’Just like me.’

’She probably reached this Realm even before I did.’

After all, he had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer and had only briefly consolidated his Realm before coming out of seclusion.

It had only been eighteen years since Lin Sha’s Core Formation Ceremony.

Fang Hua truly hadn’t wasted a single moment, advancing from the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer to the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer in just eighteen years.

Of course, Du Youqian’s own progress wasn’t slow either, but he simply didn’t dare to stop and rest.

The moment he stopped, a haunting curse would echo in his ears—

"In thirty years, it will be my turn as your master to Garrison the Desolate Abyss. If you don’t reach Foundation Establishment Perfection within thirty years, don’t blame me for giving you a little lesson you won’t forget!"

Now, with twelve years left until the deadline, he should still have enough time to break through to Foundation Establishment Perfection.

With this in mind, Du Youqian comforted Fang Hua with a few words, washed up, and then hurried over to Feng Xiaoyi’s residence.

Feng Xiaoyi was making pottery again.

This time, however, she didn’t speak to Du Youqian while working. Instead, she washed her hands and sat down leisurely before speaking, showing him a level of importance and respect.

After paying his respects to Feng Xiaoyi, Du Youqian glanced around. "Where is Junior Sister Hai Tang?"

A mischievous smile appeared on Feng Xiaoyi’s flower-like, beautiful face. "Finally showing your true colors, are you? If you want Hai Tang, just say the word. I’m not so stingy as to be unwilling to part with a Maid."

Du Youqian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "Master, please don’t tease me. There’s nothing but innocence between Junior Sister Hai Tang and me."

Feng Xiaoyi retorted, "Well, she doesn’t want to be ’just innocent’ with you."

Du Youqian was left speechless.

After a moment of laughter, Feng Xiaoyi took out a porcelain bottle and tossed it to Du Youqian.

Du Youqian raised a quizzical eyebrow.

"I know you can perform Alchemy yourself, and I know you’ve been secretly collecting many Pill Formulas, including the one for this Elixir. However, a few of the medicinal ingredients for this Elixir are extremely hard to find now; you can’t buy them even if you have the money. As it happens, a friend of mine fired up their furnace a few years ago and refined a batch. To avoid delaying your Cultivation, I went and asked him for one for you."

Du Youqian uncorked the bottle, took a whiff, and after a moment’s thought, made a guess. "This Elixir seems to contain Purple Coriander, Moonlit Vanilla, and White Cloud Artemisia... It’s the Three Flowers and Three Herbs Bright Extreme Pill, isn’t it!"

Feng Xiaoyi’s glistening eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. "You little Monkey, your Alchemy must be on the verge of breaking through to Tier Three. That’s right, it’s the Three Flowers and Three Herbs Bright Extreme Pill. After taking it, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator can advance a minor realm. If you take it, you should be able to reach Foundation Establishment Perfection within a year."

With such a potent effect, the Elixir was naturally priceless, worth between 2,500 to 3,000 Spiritual Jade a piece, and that’s if you could even find one for sale. After all, a few of its ingredients were truly rare.

That price was enough to trade for two or three Top Grade Defense Spiritual Artifacts, or even an Upper Grade Demon Artifact with special functions.

Of course, it wasn’t that Du Youqian couldn’t afford it.

It was that without a stroke of luck, you couldn’t buy one even if your Storage Treasure Pouch was stuffed full of Spiritual Jade.

"Thank you, Master," Du Youqian said, bowing immediately.

"No need for formalities," Feng Xiaoyi said with a smile. "You’re going to Garrison the Desolate Abyss in my place. How could I not show my appreciation?"

’Actually, you’ve already given me more than enough...’

’If you keep this up, I’ll never be able to repay your kindness in my entire life.’

Du Youqian said nothing, simply moving silently behind Feng Xiaoyi and beginning to massage her shoulders.

Feng Xiaoyi closed her eyes in comfort, and a faint but extremely alluring fragrance from her body drifted into Du Youqian’s nose.

"Disciple, did you know someone from your generation of True Inheritors is already attempting Core Formation?"

Du Youqian was stunned. Fang Hua was oblivious to the outside world, and he hadn’t gone to find Luo Jinyu or Gu Xiaofang since leaving seclusion, so he wasn’t up-to-date on the latest news.

"Who is it?" After asking, he ventured a guess. "Wandering Dragon?"

A faint smile touched Feng Xiaoyi’s lips. "Oh? And why would you guess him?"

Du Youqian had just blurted it out without much thought.

He lowered his head to consider for a moment before organizing his thoughts. "That man has always been low-key, and many were surprised when he became a True Inheritor. I suspect he has been accumulating his foundation for a long time and is now ready to shine. I’ve also heard that a prodigy from the Taihe Sect has taken a great liking to him, and they are often seen together. He must have some extraordinary qualities."

Du Youqian was referring to Yin Ruozhen. When he left seclusion five years ago, he had heard that she had already reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage and had been chosen as a True Successor Candidate by the Taihe Sect—and was the most favored one at that.

For such a beautiful and promising Kun Cultivator to be interested in someone as plain-looking as Long You, he must have something special about him.

Of course, it couldn’t be because Long You was well-endowed and good in bed. If Yin Ruozhen were that shallow, she never would have become a True Successor Candidate for the Taihe Sect.

"Correct," Feng Xiaoyi said, her smile fading. "I can’t quite see through this young man. Disciple, you should be careful of him in the future."

Du Youqian thought for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Logically, Wandering Dragon’s contribution points shouldn’t be enough to exchange for a Core Formation Spiritual Object, a Core Formation Secret Technique, and a life-saving item all at once."

"You’re not wrong, Disciple. It wasn’t enough," Feng Xiaoyi said slowly. "So, he didn’t exchange for a life-saving item."

Du Youqian was shocked. "Is he insane? Even with a Core Formation Spiritual Object and a Core Formation Secret Technique, his chances of success can’t be more than thirty percent."

"No. I heard his Spirit Root is average, and the Core Formation Spiritual Object he exchanged for is also an ordinary one. I’d estimate his chances of success are barely even twenty percent."

Du Youqian was rendered speechless. "But he’s a True Inheritor! The Sect would surely invest heavily in nurturing him. Why be so impatient?"

"Who knows! Several Core Formation Masters tried to dissuade him, but his will was firm. He began his seclusion a year ago, and the Core Formation Celestial Phenomenon has appeared. So far, everything is normal. But enough about him," Feng Xiaoyi rolled her eyes, adding a touch of cuteness to her usual charm, "let’s talk about you. It’s been twenty years since you exchanged for the Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture. Have you made any gains?"

Du Youqian smiled reservedly. "I’ve gained some insights."

Feng Xiaoyi’s beautiful eyes lit up. "Oh? What Sword Intent have you comprehended?"

Du Youqian didn’t hide it. "Blood Sacrifice."

Feng Xiaoyi nodded thoughtfully. "That’s not beyond my expectations."

"Master’s foresight is divine, of course you wouldn’t be wrong," Du Youqian complimented cheesily, then asked, "I feel that one should be able to comprehend more than one type of Sword Intent from the Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture."

"Correct. Since it is a Sword Scripture, even a fragmented one, it’s impossible that it would only allow for the comprehension of a single Sword Intent. However, I have not cultivated this Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture, so I am not clear on its subtleties. If you have the chance in the future, you can ask other Core Formation seniors... no, ask other Fellow Daoists."

There was a hidden meaning in Feng Xiaoyi’s smile.

Her words, too, were naturally hinting at something.

She meant that before reaching Core Formation, Du Youqian shouldn’t get too distracted by Swordsmanship.

After all, the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator wasn’t long, and he couldn’t afford to waste it.

The proper path was to wait until after he achieved Core Formation, when he could address the Sect’s Core Formation Masters as "Fellow Daoist," and only then delve into Swordsmanship and seek guidance from others on the various subtleties of the Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture.

Du Youqian naturally understood. "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I understand."

After taking his leave of Feng Xiaoyi, Du Youqian consumed the Three Flowers and Three Herbs Bright Extreme Pill and entered seclusion once more.

When he emerged a year later, he had already reached Foundation Establishment Perfection.
