Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

’Time to take a proper inventory of these things and refine them!’

That day, inside his Cultivation Room, Xu Lei opened Hui Cheng’s Qiankun Bag.

He had been busy arranging for his children to begin their Daoist and Buddhist Sect cultivation.

As a result, he hadn’t found the time to deal with these items until now.

Now, looking at the items in Hui Cheng’s Qiankun Cloth Bag, Xu Lei couldn’t help but smile.

It contained exactly what he needed right now!

One of the items was the Golden Staff Hui Cheng had used when he fought Xu Lei.

It was an offensive Magical Artifact.

Back then, Hui Cheng had also used a long string of Buddhist Beads.

However, Hui Cheng had passed those on to his disciple—who happened to be Xu Lei’s most talented son.

Originally, Xu Lei had thought the Golden Staff would be the only thing he’d get.

He’d assumed Hui Cheng had nothing else of value.

But to his surprise, Hui Cheng also had an Imperial Class Magical Artifact similar to his Lotus Treasure Fragments.

There were six fragments in total.

They were also shaped like flower petals.

He’d never seen Hui Cheng use them before.

’Maybe he acquired them in recent years.’

Xu Lei picked up the Golden Staff and gave it a few swings.

As he channeled his Magical Power into it,

the Golden Staff began to glow.

Xu Lei could feel the various Arrays carved inside it activating.

He poured in more Magical Power.

A massive Golden Staff Dharma Shadow coalesced above it!

It was as if the entire Golden Staff had grown in size.

He could even swing it to launch the Golden Staff Dharma Shadow as an attack.

Of course, there was no need to waste Magical Power right now.

Xu Lei quickly put it away.

As for the other items, they were all quite ordinary.

The Qiankun Cloth Bag itself had a rather large storage space.

However, Xu Lei already owned several Qiankun Cloth Bags.

So, this one wasn’t much of a surprise.

After that, Xu Lei turned his attention to the Artifact Treasure Fragments.

With a mere thought,

"Lotus Hand, form!"

Instantly, thirteen sharp, petal-like Treasure Discs flew into the air.

Under the control of Xu Lei’s Magical Power, they coalesced into the shape of a claw!

It only had three fingers, of course!

Not five.

It looked a bit like a dragon’s claw.

SHHHIIING!

Xu Lei waved his hand.

The Lotus Hand sliced through the air, letting out a sharp whistle.

Completely satisfied, Xu Lei went down the mountain again, preparing to feast at a tavern.

He was no longer staying by Xu Yan’er’s side, of course.

Instead, he had returned to Celestial Zen Temple.

After all, Hui Cheng had already been dealt with.

There was no longer a need to stay there.

Besides, he couldn’t just leave the Capital City’s Bu Zhong Hall for the other disciples to manage forever.

However, much to Xu Lei’s surprise, he didn’t even get the chance to go out and feast that day.

He saw a signal light hanging from the upper floor of Young Master Zhao’s tavern.

Xu Lei’s expression shifted.

’Hui Cheng has already been found and dealt with,’ he thought. ’So if Young Master Zhao is sending a signal now, it must mean he’s found a trace of an Enchantress.’

He had just obtained new Magical Artifacts and perfected a new killing move.

And just like that, a lead on a Phantom had appeared.

Xu Lei forgot all about eating.

He immediately rushed to meet Young Master Zhao.

After all, there had been an incident before where a Phantom had appeared, but by the time Xu Lei had rushed over, he was too late.

The Enchantress had already left the city and returned to wherever she came from.

Just as Xu Lei expected,

after Young Master Zhao greeted him,

he informed him that a member of the Zhao Family had reported a sighting of an Enchantress.

Two of them, in fact.

They had entered the city together.

While there, they purchased a large amount of supplies.

"Which city? Take me there now!"

Soon, Xu Lei and Young Master Zhao were riding off on horseback.

To Xu Lei’s disappointment, however, by the time he reached the destination,

the two Enchantresses had already finished their shopping and left the city.

The Zhao Family members couldn’t follow them the entire way.

After all, Xu Lei had told Young Master Zhao that the people he was looking for were not ordinary.

He had warned the Zhao Family members to be careful.

This was for the safety of the Zhao Family, and also because Xu Lei didn’t want to alert his quarry.

Young Master Zhao apologized for the wasted trip.

But Xu Lei shook his head and said it was nothing.

Although Xu Lei was a little disappointed, he wasn’t angry.

There would be other chances.

Just knowing that these Enchantresses would occasionally enter Mortal Cities to purchase supplies was enough.

They would surely be back again.

This time, Xu Lei had obtained two Magical Artifacts from Hui Cheng.

Although his strength had increased, it wasn’t by a significant amount.

If he waited a few more years, Xu Lei should be able to break through to the next Great Realm.

Making his move then, he would have a much greater chance of success.

After that, Xu Lei returned once more to Celestial Zen Temple.

This time, however, Xu Lei did not resume his previous role.

Instead, he began the process of applying to step down from his position as Supervisor Zen Master of the General Hall.

He had already held the position for many years.

Although he wore a Human Skin Mask, it couldn’t hide his body’s rate of aging.

If he remained in the position for too long while aging so slowly, he might expose the secret of his Phoenix True Flame.

This could attract unnecessary trouble.

Trouble similar to the feud he’d had with Hui Cheng all these years.

Furthermore, Xu Lei had already fathered quite a few children over the years.

He felt that his procreation mission for this life was more or less complete.

The only issue was the relatively small number of children with high talent.

Based on what Xu Lei knew, having children with a fellow Female Cultivator

seemed to result in a higher probability of the child having good talent.

It was just like with Hui Cheng and his Old Daoist Nun Dao Companion.

The two sons they had were both quite talented.

If Xu Lei hadn’t killed them,

they might have achieved a decent level of cultivation by now.

However, Xu Lei had encountered very few Female Cultivators over the years.

This was because many of the True Monks and True Nuns within the Buddhist Sect also kept their identities hidden in their daily lives.
