I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Du Youqian contemplated how to push his physique to its absolute limit during the Foundation Establishment Stage before attempting Core Formation, all while heading south.

He didn’t return directly to the Capital City, but first took a detour to Soul-shaking Mountain.

He had arranged for Lin Sha to leave some items for him here.

As soon as he retrieved them, Lin Sha would know that he had reincarnated and broken through the Mystery of the Womb.

However, he didn’t plan on meeting with Lin Sha just yet.

Lin Sha was the person he trusted most. She was also the only one who had figured out on her own that he could independently break through the Mystery of the Womb after reincarnating.

But that didn’t mean he could allow himself to appear before her in a state of weakness.

’At the very least... I should wait until I’ve reached Foundation Establishment Perfection and am preparing for Core Formation.’

’I’m sure Lin Sha will understand.’

’Otherwise, it’d be too humiliating. I wouldn’t be able to beat her in a spar, and I wouldn’t be able to beat her in bed either.’

In any case, Core Formation Cultivators didn’t have much of anything else, but they had plenty of time.

Making her wait a few more decades would be but the blink of an eye to her.

Years ago, Du Youqian had set up a Tier Three Meridian-Gathering Array on Soul-shaking Mountain. Now, hundreds of years later, under the magical power of the passing ages, the Tier One Spirit Vein here had shockingly been elevated to Tier Two Upper Grade—potent enough for even a Core Formation Master’s cultivation.

He hadn’t come to sweep the graves in several hundred years, yet the peach tree in front of Long Ruzhen’s tomb was still lush and flourishing.

’After being nourished by Spiritual Qi for so many years, could it have developed spirituality and become a Peach Blossom Spirit?’

The tombstones of Long Ruzhen, the old Daoist, and the monkey were long since submerged in weeds.

Du Youqian cast a few spells of Magic to quickly clean and repair their graves, paying his respects. He also reinforced the dilapidated Daoist Temple.

Then, from the Treasure Vault, he retrieved the items he had arranged for Lin Sha to store: a Spiritual Boat, and some Elixirs needed for Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation.

And, of course, his Jinhuan.

After some thought, he left a Jade Slip with a message: "I still have matters to attend to. I’ll come find you later. Don’t worry."

Then, he could only pray that Lin Sha was in seclusion and wouldn’t notice what had happened here for a while.

’After all, I can’t exactly expect her to be meek and obedient.’

’That would be about as reliable as expecting Feng Xiaoyi to be honest and trustworthy.’

If Lin Sha really wanted to, finding him wouldn’t be too difficult.

She knew Du Youqian had deep ties to the Du Dynasty.

It would be a simple matter of following the clues to eventually pinpoint Master Baili.

’I can only hope... she really is in seclusion.’

With the supplies in hand, Du Youqian didn’t return directly to the Wu Kingdom Capital City. Instead, he found a small, nearby Marketplace and rented a cave residence.

Both Jinhuan and the personal boat he used in his past life needed to be disguised. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be announcing to the world that he had reincarnated?

When he began to refine Jinhuan, the Jinhuan Sword was extremely resistant at first.

An incredibly sharp Flying Sword Treasure that had already developed a sliver of Spiritual Wisdom... if it was dead set on resisting him, with his current cultivation, there really wasn’t much he could do.

Fortunately, after he extended his Divine Sense and had a good long "talk" with Jinhuan, it finally recognized him.

It was like a master returning home after ten years, only for his watchdog to no longer recognize him.

But once the dog got a good sniff, it would remember its owner.

Besides Jinhuan, the other Treasures he retrieved this time included that Treasure Seal and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner that Xi Zhiheng had gifted him back then.

Thinking of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner made Du Youqian think of Xi Zhiheng, and then of Luo Jinyu. Years ago, Xi Zhiheng had gifted him a woman with a special physique who practiced a unique cultivation technique. The idea was that if she were nurtured to the Foundation Establishment stage, her primordial virgin yin could be harvested. This would allow a Core Formation Early Stage cultivator to break through to the Middle Stage.

Du Youqian never had the chance to enjoy this "benefit." Later, when he could communicate with people via his Divine Sense, he suggested that Meng Xiao take the woman—after all, Meng Xiao was older and had a lower chance of breaking through on his own.

But Meng Xiao actually refused. He didn’t give a reason, but Du Youqian guessed it was because he was worried about making Xi Mengran jealous...

One could only say that guys who are into 2D characters are more faithful than guys who are into real women.

So, the woman ended up being a windfall for Luo Jinyu.

Before Du Youqian’s reincarnation, Luo Jinyu already had the highest cultivation among his subordinates, approaching the Golden Core Late Stage.

It was precisely for this reason that Du Youqian had many reservations and was unwilling to contact Luo Jinyu and the others too soon.

He believed in Luo Jinyu’s loyalty, but he was absolutely unwilling to put that loyalty to the test.

It would be more appropriate to wait until he achieved Core Formation and was confident he could handle Luo Jinyu before making contact.

As for the Hundred Ghosts Banner he had been fond of using in his previous life, with his current strength, he would be too susceptible to its backlash, so he didn’t refine it.

’I actually kind of miss Wandering Dragon... I wonder how he’s doing in the Hundred Ghosts Banner. Is he eating well? It’s been so long since I’ve tormented his soul. I wonder if he misses me too?’

After modifying and refining these Treasures he had used in his previous life, Du Youqian gave them a try. With his current Magical Power, it was still too much of a strain to wield Jinhuan.

After all, he had already upgraded Jinhuan to the Treasure Level, and in this life, he was a Body Refining Cultivator, whose Magical Power was inherently weaker than that of an ordinary cultivator.

It might be different if Jinhuan were his Lifebound Treasure.

However, in his previous life, Du Youqian hadn’t refined Jinhuan into his Lifebound Treasure.

For one, he didn’t want a flying sword as his Lifebound Treasure; he wasn’t a Sword Cultivator.

On the other hand... he had discovered that he was incapable of refining a Lifebound Treasure at all.

At one point, he thought it was due to his special constitution. After all, he had never heard of anyone else who could break through the Mystery of the Womb at age eighteen after every reincarnation.

Later, he began to think it might be because of the Spring and Autumn Brush.

’It’s an Immortal Artifact Fragment that’s occupying my Dantian. That must be why it’s preventing me from refining a Lifebound Treasure.’

It was a real shame.

’But on second thought, the Spring and Autumn Brush Fragment is far more useful than a single Lifebound Treasure, at least until I reach Tier Six...’

And so, Du Youqian came to terms with it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once he finished modifying the Treasures, Du Youqian no longer lingered.

When he returned to the Capital City, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Shengxuan Sect was waiting for him in front of the palace’s Daoist Temple where he usually presided. The man had clearly been waiting for a long time.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators generally don’t wander around the Mortal World casually because of the "lowland effect."

In the Mortal World, where Spiritual Qi is thin, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s Magical Power drains at a tremendous rate even if they do nothing but stand still. Over time, it could easily cause their cultivation to regress.

Therefore, the appearance of this Foundation Establishment Cultivator represented the Shengxuan Sect’s sincerity—but it also represented their resolve to fight if things went sour.

The visitor was not their Supreme Elder, Yi Huai’an.

Instead, it was a young Foundation Establishment Cultivator whom Du Youqian didn’t recognize. His bone age seemed to be just over sixty years.

"This humble Daoist is Li Yuheng. Master Baili, I trust you are well?"

He naturally did not address Du Youqian by his official title.

Qingxu Tongxuan Guanmiao True Monarch... In private, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Shengxuan Sect all said the man had incredibly thick skin and was outrageously arrogant.

’It’s one thing to use it to fool ignorant commoners.’

’But if you meet a fellow Daoist, and I call you a True Monarch, can you answer to it? Do you dare answer to it?’

’Aren’t you afraid of the disaster that befalls those whose virtue doesn’t match their station?’

While offering his greeting, Li Yuheng secretly used his Divine Sense to perform a cursory scan of Du Youqian’s cultivation.

Of course, it could only be a cursory scan. A more detailed probe would be tantamount to a declaration of war in the Cultivation Realm.

What he didn’t know was that Du Youqian had already probed his bone age... The difference in Divine Sense was just that terrifying.

After advancing to Foundation Establishment, Du Youqian’s Divine Sense had already recovered to one-tenth of its strength from his previous life, which was equivalent to that of a normal Core Formation Early Stage Master.

Using it to probe an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he could scan the man from inside out without the other party suspecting a thing.

When Li Yuheng sensed Du Youqian’s cultivation, he couldn’t help but be flabbergasted.

That Inner Disciple, Han Xi, had reported that Master Baili had reached Foundation Establishment, but he never said the man was in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage!

How old was this person? He was said to be only nineteen!

Even if he started his cultivation in the womb, it would be impossible for him to be at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage already!

In reality, Du Youqian was deliberately using the Nine Yin Nine Yang Ten Thousand Transformations Hidden Heaven Technique to make others misjudge his cultivation.

Some people like to play weak to ambush the strong.

Du Youqian didn’t.

He preferred to display his strength to reduce trouble and dissuade people from getting any funny ideas.

In terms of strength, he couldn’t say for sure he could slay a Core Formation Cultivator, but killing a few at Foundation Establishment Perfection would be effortless.

So, letting outsiders believe he was at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage was an act of kindness on his part.

It prevented people from mistakenly thinking he was just a minor Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator who could be suppressed with force, only to get themselves killed by him when their schemes backfired.

Li Yuheng was completely baffled by Du Youqian’s cultivation.

Du Youqian, of course, had no intention of enlightening him. He simply smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, why don’t we go inside and talk?"

Inwardly, however, he wondered what relationship this Li Yuheng had with the junior Qi Cultivation cultivator from the Shengxuan Sect he had known years ago.

Within the Shengxuan Sect, the master-disciple system and the family clan system existed side by side. Although they were part of the Profound Sects Orthodox Camp, they weren’t strictly a Taoist Sect and didn’t forbid marriage.

Inside the Daoist Temple, they sat down in the seats for host and guest.

The Daoist Temple’s original name was... well, Du Youqian had already forgotten it.

In any case, Emperor Shunde had bestowed it upon him, and with a flourish of his brush, he had renamed it "Grass Tower Temple."

When he chose the name, he did so with great trepidation, half-afraid that a Tai Chi Diagram would fly out of nowhere and blast him to ashes.

But thankfully, either the legends he’d heard in his previous life had no real connection to this world...

...or the Celestial Venerable couldn’t be bothered with a small fry like him.

The Grass Tower Temple had originally been built to be splendid and magnificent. After Du Youqian moved in, he renovated it, making the exterior look much more modest, at least.

Du Youqian ordered an acolyte in the temple to prepare tea, then said to Li Yuheng, "Brother Li, since you’ve come today, there are a few things I need to make clear."

"First, from this day forward, in this Wu Kingdom, what I, Baili Jianxin, say, goes."
