Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

Chapter 38: Chapter 4: Mayflies Gazing at the Azure Sky

From a young age, the consciousness dominated by ”Immortals” in this world was shattered by a single punch from Li Ji’an, a ”Mortal” he had been living alongside.

This result completely overturned their understanding!

It also made the faces of the remaining few burn with shame.

Previously, when the young Immortal Master claimed that qi and blood were useless in cultivation, they were disappointed, but also had a tinge of schadenfreude.

It wasn’t that they were particularly dark-hearted; it was simply human nature.

After all, Li Ji’an’s martial power had surpassed theirs for over ten years. At twenty-seven, he achieved Qi and Blood Great Perfection and Great Success in External Skills, ranking among the top ten on the Grandmaster List, even surpassing their clan’s patriarch, which left them with no courage to even compete.

Suddenly feeling that they might surpass him, who wouldn’t let their thoughts run wild?

However, at this moment, they finally understood that, before seeing Immortals, they regarded Li Ji’an as a frog in the well gazing at the moon in the sky.

And now, seeing Li Ji’an was like a mayfly looking up at the vast sky!

”Little thief! I shall tear you limb from limb!” A person engaged in magical combat with the young Immortal Master in the distance sensed the change here, his bloodshot eyes roaring furiously.

”Don’t get distracted!” Another hastily reprimanded.

As for another masked cultivator below, after being splattered with blood by his companion, he fled immediately.

At this moment, his heart was shattered with fear by the strong physique of the Body Cultivator, just like the ”Blood Slave” they previously terrified.

”Is this what an Immortal is? Heh~ Hehehe~” An Immortal Seedling, seeing his fleeing posture, burst into tears inexplicably, filled with disappointment and self-mockery, suddenly feeling that their lifelong dream of ascending to immortality was shattered.

Li Ji’an gave him no chance to escape, his feet shifting, ghostly appearing behind him, shattering his Body-Protecting Dharma Shield with a punch, then easily piercing his chest with a Qi Blood Condensed Sword, leaving him much more peaceful in death.

Quickly searching his body, besides that Flying Sword, there was nothing else, not even a Storage Pouch like the one the young Immortal Master had.

Uncertain whether it was due to poverty or intentionally not bringing it for a mission.

As for the person shattered by his single punch, they didn’t even have a Flying Sword.

”So it’s you!” At this moment, a powerful tremor erupted from the three people engaged in magical combat in the distance.

The Stone Seal of the young Immortal Master finally couldn’t withstand the opponent’s attack and exploded, the aftermath of the explosion blew away the concealing halos on two Tribulation Cultivators, revealing their true faces.

”Guling, don’t blame us, if you must, blame your own stubbornness.” The elder quickly regained composure, sighing.

”You still have a chance; as long as you repent, Fifth Uncle promises not to harm you!” The burly middle-aged man with a tangled beard was rather anxious.

”I’m stubborn? Hmph! I think it is you who betrayed the family and should repent!” The young Immortal Master, with his Lifebound Magical Artifact destroyed, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, shouted in grief and indignation.

”Nonsense! We are doing this for the family! Otherwise, there will be an imminent disaster!” The elder refuted excitedly.

”Hahaha, I know, I know everything, you’re just doing it for your own selfish interests, why pretend to be magnanimous! Do what you want, but when I reach the Yellow Springs, I will certainly inform our ancestors of your crimes!”

Seeing Guling giving up resistance, the burly middle-aged man hurriedly said, ”Guling, you’re too young, you’ve been bewitched, he’s the one acting out of selfishness!”

”Enough talk, since he’s stubborn, we can’t be blamed, kill him!” The elder slapped his Storage Pouch, and his Lifebound Magical Artifact flew out.

Just now, to conceal their identities, they didn’t use their Lifebound Magical Artifacts or perform their adept magic.

”Wait, let me persuade Guling once more!” The burly middle-aged man was even more anxious, hastily sidestepping to block the elder’s view.

”You...”

Just as the burly middle-aged man blocked the elder’s sight, Guling, originally showing a stance of indifference to life and death, suddenly focused his gaze, his face climbing with fierceness, reaching for the Storage Pouch with one hand.

”Those who betray the family will die without a burial place! You all deserve to die!”

Boom~

Guling’s hand produced another talisman, but unlike the previous Water Curtain Talisman, this one was not made of yellow paper, but a fiery red jade.

As Guling activated the red jade talisman, a hundred-zhang long giant Fire Dragon emerged instantly.

In almost a moment, the sky seemed to turn into a sea of fire, accompanied by a dragon’s roar that covered the sky and blocked the sun.

...

Three breaths later, the Fire Dragon dissipated.

Three shadows fell from above.

The burly middle-aged man, being at the forefront, had his back scorched black, without a hint of life.

Half of the elder’s body was reduced to bare bones, leaving him with only his final breath.

He looked pitifully at the corpse of the burly man in front of him, full of sorrow, ”I’ve told you many times, once you start, you mustn’t show any leniency, you just can’t learn...”

Then he looked towards Guling not far away. At this moment, Guling, not only coughed up large amounts of blood but also had a long spear piercing through his chest, the spear still emanating wisps of black gas.

”Heh~ ultimately, I couldn’t outwit that old monster, who actually bestowed such a precious Treasure Talisman to you... but, fortunately, it wasn’t a total failure, at least, he won’t have a Blood Slave for ten years...” The elder, in his sorrow, turned his head and saw Li Ji’an and the other five, immediately laughing again.

This endless desert, they won’t be able to get out on their own.

Guling violently spat blood: ”Hahaha, traitor! With your stupidity, how could you fathom the great wisdom of the ancestors? I will definitely take them back...”

Before the words finished, the elder’s eyes suddenly widened.

Seeing Guling take out a porcelain bottle from his Storage Pouch, tilting it, revealing a shimmering green Pill Medicine.

”Rejuvenation Pill!”

”He... he actually gave you the Rejuvenation Pill too!”

This time, the elder was utterly in despair.

With the Rejuvenation Pill, Guling won’t die.

If so...

”You must die!” The elder, who was on his last breath, suddenly revived, dragging his half-burnt body toward Guling.

Guling was frightened, swallowing the Rejuvenation Pill in one gulp, also stimulating the last trace of magical power in his Dantian to resist.

The Rejuvenation Pill can preserve life source when severely injured, but it’s not a healing Holy Medicine.

At this moment, if he sustains a fatal injury again, he will surely die!

”What are you still standing around for? Quickly kill him, or we will all die!” Just as the last trace of magical power in his Dantian was about to dry up, Guling shouted at Li Ji’an and the five others.

”Brother Li...” At this moment, the other four Immortal Seedlings woke up from the earlier slaughter, no longer immersed in their former dreams of Immortals, but once again following Li Ji’an’s lead.

Li Ji’an’s lips curled in a slight smile, immediately leading the four others over.

”Quick! They are traitors within the clan, sent to kill you, kill him quickly, and I will take you to cultivate Immortality!” Guling, seeing he couldn’t hold on, urgently urged again.

Li Ji’an feigned fear: ”But... he’s an Immortal, I’m afraid what if...”

”Rest assured, I’ve severely injured him, his Dantian magical power has long dissipated, he’s just a cornered beast, without power he is no different from a Mortal, kill him!” Guling intensified his tone slightly.

Li Ji’an continued to hesitate timidly, cautiously asking, ”Then... is there any Immortal Technique that can identify that I killed him? What if his family seeks revenge on me, I...”

”Cowardly, you’re infuriating me, I assure you, there will be no repercussions, besides, we don’t have such Immortal Techniques!” Guling was about to become exasperated.

”What if his accomplices sense his death and come here to avenge me...” Li Ji’an continued to ask patiently.

”You! Hmph, there’s no such mighty Divine Abilities? If you don’t act now, I won’t teach you Immortal Technique.” Guling was nearly enraged to the point of spitting blood.

Li Ji’an slowly exhaled, ”In that case... I understand!”

With that said, he walked slowly toward the two.
