I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Du Youqian wasn’t surprised that Wandering Dragon would take the initiative.

What surprised him was that Wandering Dragon dared to play with a Flying Sword in front of him.

’What is this, trying to teach a master swordsman how to use a sword?’

Wandering Dragon had a reputation for being decent at Magical Combat. He possessed powerful Spiritual Artifacts and was adept at using them, skillfully seizing opportunities in battle.

But no one had ever said he’d studied Swordsmanship.

To be fair, however, the skill behind this sword strike was not low.

Aside from its lack of Sword Intent, the technique was quite impressive.

Unwilling to be entangled with Wandering Dragon for long, Du Youqian remained seated and perfectly still. His own Flying Sword, Jinhuan, leaped out and slashed horizontally at Wandering Dragon.

It looked as if he was aiming to trade injuries.

But Wandering Dragon had no intention of trading blows. Seeing that Du Youqian didn’t dodge or evade, he threw out a fishnet-shaped Defensive Treasure to entangle the Flying Sword.

Then, a Treasure-Level Ten Thousand Souls Banner appeared in his right hand. A brilliant light suddenly erupted from his eyes, a dazzling glare that seemed to want to pierce Du Youqian’s own.

It turned out he was using the power of the souls in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to launch a direct Spiritual Sense Secret Technique attack against Du Youqian!

Du Youqian had only just reached Core Formation. All his equipment, including his Flying Sword, Jinhuan, was still at the Spiritual Artifact Level, putting him at a great disadvantage.

Nevertheless, he was fearless. He took the brunt of Wandering Dragon’s Flying Sword strike, which surprisingly only left a shallow wound. His muscles instantly clamped down, trapping Wandering Dragon’s sword.

At the same time, his sword, Jinhuan, unleashed a powerful Sword Intent, forcibly tearing an opening in the fishing net and charging straight for Wandering Dragon.

Within his Sea of Consciousness, the Sword Intent hidden beneath the calm surface erupted, barely managing to fend off Wandering Dragon’s Divine Soul Secret Technique.

Wandering Dragon’s expression turned grim. The fishing net coiled back as he simultaneously threw out a blood-soaked, scroll-like Treasure. The artifact, reeking of blood, shielded his front, intending to work with the net in a pincer attack to strike down Du Youqian’s Flying Sword.

Just then, the sword Jinhuan violently shattered. The Sword Intent that had been attached to it surged unstoppably toward Wandering Dragon, piercing right through the crimson scroll.

Although he felt the Sword Intent was at the end of its strength after piercing his Defensive Treasure, Wandering Dragon didn’t dare be careless. He condensed a Defense Magic infused with Evil Qi, creating a wall of blackish-gray sand before him. He was confident it could wear down any Sword Intent.

At that very moment, excruciating pain flared up in several of his meridians simultaneously, and he couldn’t stop himself from coughing up a mouthful of blood.

"Three moves!" Du Youqian said with a faint smile, still seated. He reached out a hand, recalling the fragments of Jinhuan, a pang of regret in his heart.

He hadn’t intentionally self-destructed his Flying Sword. It was just that with his Core Formation, his Cultivation had skyrocketed, and his Sword Intent had risen with it. Under the full force of his power, the Flying Sword that had accompanied him for so long had finally been unable to bear the strain.

Wandering Dragon also sat back down, closing his eyes to regulate his breathing.

In truth, he felt that had been the fourth move, but from Du Youqian’s perspective, it wasn’t wrong to call it the third.

Du Youqian’s first move was sending out his sword, a move that continued until the sword shattered. His second move was defending against Wandering Dragon’s Divine Sense attack. His third was the surprise attack with Sword Intent that injured Wandering Dragon’s internal meridians.

"Alright, since it’s settled," Shi Shentong said, setting down his blue-and-white porcelain teacup. "Gu Xiaofang is to be recalled from the Desolate Abyss, effective immediately. Immortal Carefree, you are not to pursue this matter any further."

Wandering Dragon coldly spat out a single word: "Understood."

Du Youqian, on the other hand, smiled and bowed to Shi Shentong. "Thank you, Elder Shi, for upholding justice."

Shi Shentong shook his head, not wanting to say more. "Next topic... True Disciple Yu Fei has successfully reached Core Formation and will hold a Core Formation Ceremony. The External Affairs Hall is ordered to send Jade Slips to the various sects, inviting them to send representatives to attend. Yu Fei, have you decided on your Daoist Title?"

Du Youqian smiled slightly. "I’m not very good at names. I just thought of one at random, so it’ll have to do. From now on, everyone can call me... Master Youde."

"Master Youde..." Shi Shentong muttered, mulling over the name. "It sounds a bit like some kind of mortal title. But no matter. Master Youde it is."

After discussing a few more minor issues, the meeting was adjourned.

Feng Xiaoyi gave Du Youqian a look. After leaving, Du Youqian prepared to head straight for Feng Xiaoyi’s manor.

He hadn’t taken more than a few steps, however, when Xi Zhiheng blocked his path.

"Master Youde, do you have a moment? I’d like a word."

"An invitation from Master Wu Zhi? Even if I didn’t have time, I’d make time."

The two exchanged a look, each smiling with their own ulterior motives.

Arriving at Xi Zhiheng’s manor, the two sat down at a stone table in the garden.

Immediately, several beautiful female musicians took their instruments to a corner of the garden and began to play.

Then, two Qi Cultivation Late Stage Kun Cultivators, as beautiful as fairies from a painting, gracefully approached. They poured their tea and then sat beside them to attend to their needs.

Du Youqian kept his gaze forward, took a sip of tea, and smiled. "The fragrance is delightful, and it’s suffused with Spiritual Qi. This must be a Tier Two Spirit Tea or higher, right? A true rarity."

Xi Zhiheng laughed heartily. "What’s so rare about it? If Master Youde enjoys it, I’ll send you a few tea trees."

Du Youqian demurred, "A gentleman does not take what another holds dear."

Xi Zhiheng pointed to himself. "But I am a gentleman, too! And a gentleman enjoys helping others achieve their desires. Master Youde, don’t make things difficult for me."

Du Youqian thought for a moment, then pretended to be pleased. "In that case, it would be rude to refuse."

After a few more minutes of meaningless small talk, Xi Zhiheng finally said, "Master Youde, I invited you to my home today because I actually have a favor to ask."

Du Youqian replied, "Master Wu Zhi, please don’t be so formal. If there’s something you need, just ask. If it’s within my power, I will not refuse."

Xi Zhiheng had made numerous friendly overtures to him before, so Du Youqian knew full well that this was a favor he would have to repay.

But if Xi Zhiheng’s request was too outrageous, he wouldn’t force himself.

Xi Zhiheng smiled. "For me, this matter is nigh impossible. But for Master Youde, it should be as easy as turning over your hand."

Du Youqian didn’t want to beat around the bush with him. "Master Wu Zhi, please speak plainly."

Xi Zhiheng explained in a somewhat wistful tone, "When I was young, I wasn’t particularly outstanding, so I am not a Sect True Inheritor. Like your master, I braved life and death in the Eight Desolates Hall to earn enough contribution points, which I exchanged for Cultivation Techniques and Secret Techniques, slowly cultivating until I reached Core Formation."

Du Youqian waited quietly for him to continue.

Xi Zhiheng didn’t keep beating around the bush and quickly stated his request. "The Sect’s True Inheritors are also required to complete certain tasks for the Sect. Some of these posts are extremely lucrative and can only be assigned to True Inheritors on a rotating basis. They’re a kind of hidden benefit for them. For example, some particularly high-quality Mining Areas, or a certain High-Tier Evil Pool. I was hoping that you, Master Youde, could volunteer for one of these garrison assignments and then trade it with me. The Sect permits this."

When he said this, understanding dawned on Du Youqian.

After some thought, he felt that although this would be detrimental to his own interests, it was a suitable way to repay the favor. He asked with a smile, "Where would Master Wu Zhi like me to garrison?"

Xi Zhiheng’s face lit up with joy. "Master Youde, you’ve agreed?"

"Tell me the details first. I will give it serious consideration."

"I won’t hide it from you," Xi Zhiheng said with an air of frankness. "To the north, there’s the Ten-Mile Sinking Sand Evil Pool. The Evil Qi in that pool is of a considerably high tier. With the long-term aid of that Evil Qi, one might even have a chance to comprehend a Divine Ability. This is supposed to be a benefit reserved by the Sect for Core Formation True Inheritors, but I have been coveting that Evil Pool for a long time. I hope Master Youde can help me achieve this."

Du Youqian was already leaning toward agreeing. He had little interest in the Divine Abilities that could be comprehended from the evil sand qi, as it didn’t align with his path.

But he certainly couldn’t agree immediately. He needed to play hard to get and see what other terms Xi Zhiheng might offer.

After all, even though Xi Zhiheng had made friendly overtures many times—sending him beautiful women, giving him a Top-Grade Demon Artifact—the combined value of those gifts couldn’t compare to the value of garrisoning this Evil Pool.

So, he said nonchalantly, "This... I still need to consider it. I’ll give you an answer once I’ve made up my mind."

Xi Zhiheng didn’t seem impatient. He smiled and said, "Master Youde, take your time. There’s no rush. By the way, this stunning beauty by your side is a junior I have carefully groomed. She is the direct daughter of the current Emperor of the Yan Kingdom. As you know, I lost many of my juniors previously while practicing my techniques. A junior as beautiful, intelligent, and pure of bloodline as her is truly rare."

"This woman has never served another. Let her follow you and take care of your daily needs, Master Youde."

The Kun Cultivator sitting next to Du Youqian lowered her head shyly. She was indeed breathtakingly beautiful.

Du Youqian just smiled and said nothing.

Garrisoning such a High-Tier Evil Pool was a fine assignment.

The chance to comprehend a Divine Ability was something that couldn’t be bought, no matter how much Spiritual Jade one had.

How could the value of a mere beautiful woman possibly compare!

But soon, Xi Zhiheng transmitted a few words to Du Youqian via Divine Sense.

Du Youqian shot a surprised glance at the Kun Cultivator beside him, then couldn’t help but look up at Xi Zhiheng.

He couldn’t help but sigh internally. ’Having an ancestor like you... your descendants are truly unlucky!’
