Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation

"You should draw away the Immortal Spirit Vein; I dare not use it for cultivation alone," Rong Xiyu hurriedly said.

By now, she understood why Ding Huan had suggested since there was an Immortal Spirit Vein, they should cultivate together.

In fact, Ding Huan hadn't taken any advantage of her.

"This High Grade Immortal Spirit Vein is indeed useful to me, and I'm not asking for it for nothing; here is something for the exchange, some Immortal Crystals."

After saying that, Ding Huan took out a ring and handed it to Rong Xiyu.

"I don't need it; I have Immortal Crystals," Rong Xiyu quickly declined, feeling she had gained too much.

Without Ding Huan, it would take her hundreds of years to advance to the Gold Immortal Sixth Layer if she was lucky. If unlucky, she might not even survive.

Ding Huan forcibly stuffed the ring into Rong Xiyu's hand, "I also need to tell you something, you cannot cultivate here for too long."

"Is it Shi Li?" Rong Xiyu asked.

Ding Huan nodded, "I have a premonition that Shi Li will be back soon, and once he returns, he might come straight to Thirty-Three Paths. It's too dangerous for you to stay here."

"Thank you, I was also planning to leave," Rong Xiyu thanked him.

Now at Gold Immortal Sixth Layer, Ding Huan must have given her some resources, enabling her to quickly advance to Profound Immortal and then head to the Chaos Zone.

Rong Xiyu's Divine Will landed on the ring in her hand, and she immediately tried to give the ring back to Ding Huan, "This is too much; I can't accept it."

Inside the ring were ten million High Grade Immortal Crystals and a Low Grade Immortal Spirit Vein.

She had never seen so many Immortal Crystals even when her father was alive.

She rarely went out in the past and mostly cultivated in the Immortal Sect, so she didn't need to use Immortal Crystals.

Ding Huan waved his hand, "I have plenty of Immortal Crystals, and earning them is very simple. Now that I have this High Grade Immortal Spirit Vein, I will gift you this Low Grade Immortal Spirit Vein."

After speaking, Ding Huan threw down several Array Flags, and in just a short time, he had drawn up the High Grade Immortal Spirit Vein and added it into the ring.

Ding Huan wasn't just talking; his ring even contained a pile of Immortal Spirit Rice.

Converting those High Grade Immortal Spirit Rice into Immortal Crystals was a matter of moments.

If he ever runs out of Immortal Crystals, he could always grow more Immortal Spirit Rice.

It's unlikely that the Low Grade Immortal Spirit Vein could cultivate better Immortal Spirit Rice. To grow higher quality Immortal Spirit Rice, at least a Mid Grade Immortal Spirit Vein is required—ideally, a High Grade.

As for Immortal Crystals, they can only aid the growth of Immortal Spirit Rice, not serve as the fundamental Immortal Spirit Source for planting.

Ding Huan was certain that beneath the fields of Immortal Spirit Rice of the Immortal Agriculture Department were High Grade Immortal Spirit Veins.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Ding. Where do you plan to go?" Rong Xiyu, seeing Ding Huan was truly offering it, stopped declining.

Ding Huan looked at Rong Xiyu with some sympathy in his eyes; he had used the Big Calculation Skill just earlier.

Rong Xiyu's future seemed bleak; she would likely die at the hands of Shi Li. If not by his hand, then by someone else's.

Although her Immortal Jade Body didn't compare to the Immortal Spirit Body of Jia Baihe and Wen Zhixi, it was still one of the top Dao Bodies.

Moreover, the occurrence of an Immortal Jade Body was even rarer than an Immortal Spirit Body.

For those cultivating their body, the Immortal Jade Body was even better than the Immortal Spirit Body.

Once such a body was discovered by others, life would be worse than death.

"Junior Brother Ding, do you have something to say?" Seeing Ding Huan looking like he was hesitating, Rong Xiyu quickly asked.

"I have something to say but I'm not sure if I should," Ding Huan decided to just speak the truth. If Rong Xiyu would listen to him, he would help her; if not, then so be it.

Rong Xiyu, having been cultivating with Ding Huan for a few months, could vaguely sense what kind of person he was.

He wasn't just any cultivator; he was quite different from those she had met before who placed cultivation above everything else. She was willing to trust Ding Huan.

Upon hearing Ding Huan's words, she immediately responded, "Please speak, Junior Brother Ding."

Ding Huan said, "I feel that if you continue to enhance your strength slowly this way, you might soon fall into the hands of others. I am not sure if it'll be Shi Li."

"I trust you, please give me some guidance," Rong Xiyu said without hesitation upon hearing Ding Huan's words.

It wasn't just about trusting Ding Huan; she had always had a sense of unease.

Being reborn in flesh, she was extremely sensitive to life and death.

Ding Huan said, "Your only chance of survival is to find a powerful support. Staying in the Ancient Immortal Domain definitely won't work; you must head to the Immortal Court."

"Ah..." Rong Xiyu was startled by Ding Huan's words.

Go to the Immortal Court? Leaving aside the fact that she lacked qualifications to go there, even if she did go, whom could she rely on for support?

There were many cultivators like her in the Immortal Court. If her body constitution were exposed, she would not be seeking support but rather be giving herself up as a Furnace Tripod.

"I know some people in the Immortal Court, if you trust me, you can follow me to Half Still Immortal City first. We'll see after I participate in the Immortal Sect ranking competition in Half Still Immortal City," Ding Huan said.

Ding Huan thought, the Immortal Sect ranking competition was attended by cultivators below Da Yi Immortal, and securing first place in Daoist Skills should be no issue for him.

After securing first place, he also had an Array Token that allowed entry to and from the Immortal Court, which he had no use for; he might as well give it to Rong Xiyu.

Rong Xiyu was completely taken aback.

Ding Huan said he knew people in the Immortal Court? Did that mean he would introduce her to one of his friends there?

"Doubt anyone would believe this," said Rong Xiyu as she hesitated briefly before responding, "Okay."

She had already determined that Ding Huan was no ordinary person and believed that he had no reason to deceive her.

If Ding Huan wanted her Immortal Jade Dao Body, he could simply use force now or merely threaten her instead.

The difference between the Immortal Jade Dao Body and the Immortal Spirit Dao Body is that acquiring the Dao Yu Immortal Bone through the Immortal Jade Dao Body isn't something that can be done by a single dual cultivation but requires long-term dual cultivation.

If Ding Huan wished for her Immortal Jade Dao Body, he would likely need her to stay by his side for an extended period.

She felt no ulterior motives from Ding Huan towards her.

With Ding Huan's cultivation of such an against-the-heavens Great Dao, it wasn't strange for him to know a few powerful friends in the Immortal Court.

"Alright, we'll head to Half Still Immortal City first. When I get the entry and exit Array Token to the Immortal Court, you take it to Tianwei Mountain..."

"Are you speaking of Emperor Ping Wei's Dao Ground, one of the Four Great Emperors?" Rong Xiyu interrupted Ding Huan incredulously before he could finish.

Ding Huan nodded, "Emperor Ping Wei should grant me some face and allow you to stay at Tianwei Mountain to restore your cultivation. Once your cultivation advances to the Immortal King Realm, even if you return here, no one would dare touch you."

Rong Xiyu gasped in surprise.

If Ding Huan had casually mentioned a Flag Leader of the Thirty-Six Divisions or a Head of the Seventy-Two Directions, she might have believed him.

But mentioning Emperor Ping Wei, one of the Four Great Emperors, straight away was shocking.

The Four Great Emperors, almost on par with the Heavenly Emperor, and now Ding Huan claimed one of them as a friend.

Seeing Rong Xiyu's hesitation, Ding Huan gave a slight smile, "It's merely a suggestion. If you believe me, go ahead, if not, pretend I never mentioned it."

He understood her disbelief. If it were him, he would have doubts too.

A cultivator who secluded himself to cultivate in the Thirty-Three Paths ruins now claiming to be friends with one of the Four Great Emperors of the Immortal Court—it was unbelievable.

But he wouldn't explain further nor would he force Rong Xiyu to accept his word.

"I believe you," Rong Xiyu took a deep breath, staring into Ding Huan's eyes.

She needed to believe, for as Ding Huan had said earlier, continuing to raise her cultivation through the current method was a dead end.

"Good, then let's head to Half Still Immortal City first," Ding Huan said, not bothering to explain further. He planned to obtain his reward and then find a way to advance to the Da Yi Immortal level before heading to the Chaos Zone.

"Junior Brother Ding, wait, my father once told me there is a Dao Vein in the Thirty-Three Paths, but I don't know what a Dao Vein is..."

"Dao Vein?"

Ding Huan looked at Rong Xiyu in surprise, similarly unaware of what a Dao Vein was.

"My father mentioned the Dao Vein, telling me never to disclose it to anyone, as it would form the foundation of my Great Dao in the future.

But I know, if Shi Li returns, he might discover the Dao Vein, and I do not wish to give it to him," Rong Xiyu declared word by word.

She was initially reluctant to share, but Ding Huan's sincerity touched her.

Even if Ding Huan hadn't offered her anything in return, he could have taken away the High Grade Immortal Spirit Vein without any inhibition.

Yet, Ding Huan not only gave her things but also provided her with a Low Grade Immortal Spirit Vein and ten million High Grade Immortal Crystals.

"Do you know where the Dao Vein is?" Ding Huan asked.

"My father used to live at the Servant's Peak..."

"Your father was a servant?" Ding Huan got confused by what Rong Xiyu said.

Rong Xiyu shook her head, "My father was the previous Sect Master. Before becoming the Sect Master, he was a servant."

"The previous Sect Master took my father as his closed disciple because he had no descendants and also adopted him as his son.

My father, who cherished old ties, still chose to reside at Servant's Peak after succeeding the Sect Master position of the Thirty-Three Paths."

Ding Huan, unlike Rong Xiyu, immediately caught onto two issues.

The first issue was that Rong Xiyu's father, who had been the Sect Master before Shi Li, had been a servant prior to his ascension. Knowing the Ancient Immortal Domain's precision in testing aptitude, Rong Xiyu's father's aptitude must not have been excellent.

Poor aptitude, yet taken as a disciple by the old Sect Master and becoming the next Sect Master—how could there be no issue?

The biggest possibility was that Rong Xiyu's father's aptitude improved gradually, which was a slow process.

Furthermore, her father residing at Servant's Peak wasn't just due to nostalgia but because there was something at the Servant's Peak he couldn't part with.

"Did your father leave you any top treasures?" Ding Huan asked.

Rong Xiyu shook her head, not quite understanding Ding Huan's implication.

Ding Huan had his suspicions; since Rong Xiyu's father hadn't left any top treasures behind, the key factor that improved her father's aptitude must have been the Dao Vein.

The second issue was Rong Xiyu's father having become the Sect Master and possessing such a treasure as the Dao Vein—how could he have just perished?

"How did your father pass away?"

Tears welled up in Rong Xiyu's eyes, "He suddenly went missing. The Sect only knew of his death when his soul token shattered."

(Goodnight, fellow Daoists!)
