I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Lin Sha and Du Youqian’s fooling around didn’t manage to hatch the Stone Egg.

Luckily, it didn’t. Otherwise, that would have been terrifying.

The next day, everyone went their separate ways, returning to their respective Sects.

As for the spoils from this great battle, everything was to be handed over to the Holy Blood and Taihe Two Sects, after which it would be distributed.

In any case, everyone would receive a handsome reward.

Especially that Tier Four Earth Attribute Demon Core—using it to refine a Fake Pill or an Outer Pill would be a reckless waste.

Combining it with other materials to refine a Tier Four Treasure is the best way to utilize it.

As for the Bear Demon King Zombie, its fur, bones, and organs... were all top-quality materials as well.

Crafting a few Treasures out of them wouldn’t be a problem.

The few Core Formation combatants who participated in the battle would each receive a Tier Three Treasure.

The other Foundation Establishment cultivators with outstanding performance would receive corresponding rewards as well.

When Fang Hua and Luo Jinyu returned to the Sect with Du Youqian, they were all smiles, extremely satisfied with their rewards.

Upon returning to the Holy Blood Sect, Du Youqian first went to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to report on his mission, then headed straight for Feng Xiaoyi’s cave residence.

"I heard that a few days ago, you all encountered an extremely powerful Tier Four Transformed Demon Zombie, and in the end, you were the one to slay it, relying on your temporarily upgraded Water Yu Sword and the Blood Slaughter Sword Scripture?"

Feng Xiaoyi sounded extremely interested.

"That’s more or less correct... But it was mainly a fluke. It also helped that so many fellow cultivators were there to keep it occupied. That Demon Zombie... it was despairingly powerful."

Du Youqian recounted the entire battle, and only then did Feng Xiaoyi understand just how dangerous it had been.

Of course, this danger wasn’t directed at the Core Formation combatants. While the Demon King Zombie was indeed strong, it had only just developed a simple Spiritual Wisdom. It didn’t understand tactics and couldn’t assess the situation.

If the Core Formation combatants had been intent on escaping, they definitely would have been able to.

The danger was that they had nearly failed to stop the Bear. If it had escaped into a populated city and slaughtered millions of mortals, no one could have shouldered that responsibility.

Even Du Youqian, a True Inheritor of the Holy Blood Sect, would have faced severe punishment.

After recounting the battle, Du Youqian once again formally thanked Feng Xiaoyi for gifting him the Core Formation Secret Technique.

Feng Xiaoyi smiled. "Don’t mention it. You’ve risked life and limb for your master, so it’s only right that I give you something nice in return. When do you plan to attempt Core Formation?"

Du Youqian answered truthfully, "Master Qingqiu gave me a Core Formation Spiritual Object. I plan to redeem the Pill Formula for the Six Spirits Heart Nourishing Pill and refine this Life-Saving Elixir myself. Then, I’ll spend a year or two conditioning my body, refine one or two more Treasures to deal with the Pill Formation Tribulation, and then I’ll be ready to attempt Core Formation."

"A fine plan," Feng Xiaoyi said with a languid smile, casually handing him several Jade Scrolls. "These contain my own insights on Core Formation, as well as those of several of my friends. Take them and read them, but remember not to let them circulate."

Du Youqian was overjoyed. ’It was definitely worth taking her as my master; she always thinks one step ahead.’ "Thank you, Master! I’ll go prepare for my seclusion right away."

After taking his leave of Feng Xiaoyi, Du Youqian immediately went to redeem the Pill Formula for the Six Spirits Heart Nourishing Pill, then headed to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to post a purchase order for several types of materials. Only then did he return to his own cave residence.

He didn’t rush into seclusion. First, he summoned Luo Jinyu and the others to get an update, learning that nothing major had occurred in the past few years. Meanwhile, Meng Xiao, after taking out a loan to acquire a common Core Formation Spiritual Object, had also used his "Face Fruit" ability to borrow two Treasures and was now preparing for Core Formation.

There was still no Core Formation Celestial Phenomenon above Meng Xiao’s cave residence, so he presumably hadn’t truly begun yet.

He also learned that Fang Simin’s Cultivation had progressed over the past decade and that she would likely be able to attempt Core Formation within a few years. Du Youqian felt a mix of joy and frustration. ’In the last few decades, I’ve had several subordinates approaching Core Formation. Where am I supposed to get so many Core Formation Spiritual Objects?’

’Forget Upper Grade Core Formation Spiritual Objects, I can’t even get my hands on this many ordinary ones!’

’But if someone cultivating the Seven Transition Celestial Dance Scripture succeeds in Core Formation... the implications would be too profound. Any investment would be worth it.’

’A Cultivation Technique like this, one that bypasses Foundation Establishment and leads directly to the Golden Core Path, is perfectly suited for large organizations to cultivate things like death-sworn disciples.’

Before entering seclusion, Du Youqian summoned Wu Siyuan again to give him some pointers on the Artifact Refining Art.

The young man’s rate of progress made even Du Youqian a bit jealous.

If the young man properly cultivated a Divine Sense Secret Technique to enhance his Divine Sense, he could reach Foundation Establishment Perfection within twenty years and smoothly enter the ranks of Artifact Refining Masters.

At that time, Du Youqian would present Wu Siyuan and demand compensation from them.

Then he would no longer be indebted to the Zhongxuan Sect.

After all, he had provided all of Wu Siyuan’s cultivation resources, an amount that was likely no less than what the Sect had provided for him back in the day.

By helping Wu Siyuan become an Artifact Refining Master and assisting the Zhongxuan Sect in elevating its status, it was the Zhongxuan Sect that should be properly thanking him, not the other way around.

After dealing with these miscellaneous matters, Lin Sha personally delivered the Upper Grade Core Formation Spiritual Object.

The rewards for slaying the Bear Demon King Zombie had also been handed out: a piece of Leather Armor, which was a Defensive Treasure, and a Bone Shield, also a Defensive Treasure.

Du Youqian was naturally only allotted one of them; the other was "lent" to him by Lin Sha to use for Crossing the Tribulation.

With all preparations complete, Du Youqian began his seclusion.

First, he set up a small Tier Three Lower Grade array, sparing no expense.

Then, he refined a batch of Six Spirits Heart Nourishing Pills. The medicinal properties of this Tier Three Elixir were extremely potent. He wasted three cauldrons’ worth of materials before barely succeeding with one batch, almost taking a loss on the endeavor.

A single batch yielded three pills, the quality of which was quite good. He would use one for himself, and he could leave one each for Luo Jinyu and Fang Hua.

Next, he spent several months crafting a Treasure, the "Clear Heart Bell," which could help a Cultivator remain perfectly calm, with a clear mind and few distracting thoughts.

Not only could it counter certain Demon Sect Secret Techniques during Magical Combat, but it would also serve as a great aid against the Heart Demon Tribulation.

There was no need to craft any more Defensive Treasures; he already had enough.

He began to break down the Fake Pill he had previously crafted, adding various precious materials and refining them all together.

At long last, he succeeded in refining a "Four Spirits Heaven-Repairing Pill"!

To be precise, it should be called a "Lesser Four Spirits Heaven-Repairing Pill," as the supplementary materials he used were certainly not from Divine Beasts like the Cyan Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, which were obviously Tier Seven or higher.

Instead, he had used Low Tier substitutes.

The Fake Pill that had allowed him to use dual-element Divine Abilities and approach Core Formation Combat Power was gone just like that, but Du Youqian didn’t feel the slightest pang of regret.

He took out the fragrant Elixir, inspected it carefully, and after confirming it was non-toxic and safe to consume, swallowed it in one gulp and began his breathing meditation.

"HUFF... HUFF..." Amidst the heavy sounds of his breathing, Du Youqian’s body grew hotter and hotter, even starting to turn red.

His body had become a veritable furnace, wringing out every last drop of medicinal power from the Four Spirits Heaven-Repairing Pill.

The medicinal power, suffused with a mysterious energy, circulated through Du Youqian’s meridians. It flowed throughout his entire body until it reached his Jade Pillow Acupoint, where it seeped into the void.

This didn’t mean the medicinal power was dissipating. On the contrary, it had been fully absorbed by Du Youqian and was now nourishing his Spirit Root.

A Spirit Root is not a solid, tangible object that one can grasp.

It is ethereal.

But it is not simply nothingness, either.

How could it be described?

A Spirit Root is more like something in another dimension. Only when a Cultivator meditates, performs breathing exercises, and absorbs Spiritual Qi does it briefly intersect with their physical body.

Finally, Du Youqian ended his meditation and opened his eyes.

After checking his condition via Introspection, he made a rough estimate.

’This Four Spirits Heaven-Repairing Pill increased my Spirit Root aptitude by two points... one point for my Fire Spirit Root, and one for my Wind Spirit Root.’

’It’s a pity this kind of Elixir is only effective the first time. In the future, even if I were to refine a hundred or even a thousand more batches of the Four Spirits Heaven-Repairing Pill, my Spirit Root wouldn’t improve any further.’

’So my Fire Spirit Root should be at 5 points now... still at the level of a Middle Grade Spirit Root, but my Cultivation speed will be faster than before. My Wind Spirit Root has reached 4 points, which also puts it at the Middle Grade Spirit Root level.’

Du Youqian was overjoyed. With this, his chances of successfully reaching Core Formation would increase yet again, even if just by a little.

A small boost here, a small boost there, on top of the Upper Grade Core Formation Spiritual Object and the Core Formation Secret Technique... his success rate for Core Formation... was now approaching fifty percent.

He did a quick calculation; he was already eighty-eight years old.

No longer young.

’What’s there to hesitate for? Time to go for it.’

’I can’t possibly wait until my chances are one hundred percent before I try to break through, can I?’

That cultivator, Wandering Dragon, had dared to risk his life on the gamble with only a common Core Formation Spiritual Object, no life-saving items, and a success rate of less than twenty percent.

So what did Du Youqian have to fear?

He closed his eyes, consuming first the life-saving Six Spirits Heart Nourishing Pill and then the Upper Grade Core Formation Spiritual Object. Then, he silently began circulating his energy and activated the Core Formation Secret Technique.

A massive amount of Spiritual Qi converged above his cave residence, forming the unique Core Formation Celestial Phenomenon.

Meanwhile, inside the cave residence, Du Youqian felt a tremendous torrent of Spiritual Qi flooding into him!

Too much Spiritual Qi could make a person burst from the inside out!

Du Youqian hurriedly circulated his energy, operating the Shangqing Purple Qi Divine Pill Creation Technique at the fastest speed of his life to process the influx of Spiritual Qi.

What he couldn’t process immediately, he allowed to accumulate inside his body.

He would transform the entire torrent of Spiritual Qi into his own personal fuel.

Under the immense pressure, the Liquid Magical Power within his meridians and Dantian began to compress, constantly refining itself and emitting fluctuations of a higher quality.

Eventually, his Magical Power crystallized, with each small cluster of crystals storing an explosive amount of energy.

But the Spiritual Qi continued to pour in frantically, making Du Youqian feel as uncomfortably stuffed as if he had eaten far too much.

After an unknown amount of time, Du Youqian felt as if the Spiritual Qi in his body was about to overflow, and his entire being was stretched to the point of being torn apart.

Now was the time!

He stopped absorbing any more Spiritual Qi.
