In a forest filled with dense trees, in a place quite deep in the forest, a young man who looked to be 15 years old, lay weakly with a body full of wounds and clothes soaked in blood.

The young man slowly opened his eyes.

“I.. agkh!” The young man wanted to move but stopped because he felt pain all over his body.

“What.. happened..? Did I fail?” The young man looked around then carefully looked at his body condition. “This.. seems like I.. succeeded, right? I am so Immortal Ye Yuan successfully reincarnated?”

Yes, that young man was Ye Yuan who had successfully reincarnated.

“But..” Ye Yuan frowned, thinking of some strange things. “Ah well, I’ll think about it later, it’s better now..”

Ye Yuan slowly got up, taking a cross-legged sitting position.

Ye Yuan controlled his breathing for a moment, then let out a long breath, reaching the limit of the breath he could exhale, then he breathed in slowly, very slowly and simultaneously took in natural energy through his breath, flowing the energy throughout his body.

Ye Yuan could feel all the wounds on his body warming up, the pain starting to subside. After a few minutes, Ye Yuan’s breathing still hadn’t stopped.

He reached the limit after 5 minutes, and at that moment the bleeding in his body stopped, the pain also disappeared, although it was not yet said to be cured.

“I seem to be a little unlucky, getting a fragile, untrained, weak body and not even having a good cultivation.” Ye Yuan sighed. “But this is strange, how did I reincarnate into someone else’s body? Shouldn’t I be born as a baby?”

The reincarnation rule that Ye Yuan knew was that a person would return to being a baby, but he would resurrect in someone else's body.

“Maybe because I didn’t reincarnate naturally, I created my own reincarnation path so the result was a bit strange. Well, even though I didn’t become a baby, at least I have complete memories from my previous life.”

Reincarnated people should not remember their past lives. Although there are certain situations that sometimes trigger past memories.

“But more importantly than that!” Ye Yuan clenched his fists, tears streaming down his face. “My body has finally broken free from that cultivation technique, and now no one can stop me from having relationships with women!”

Ye Yuan recalled his past suffering of being a virgin his entire life. What a miserable fate, when so many goddesses would willingly give their bodies and souls for him.

Ye Yuan wiped away his tears, his expression firm, filled with determination.

“This time, I won’t end up being a guard for life!” Ye Yuan remembered the 5 women who had previously pursued him, making Ye Yuan smile modestly.

“Little Sister Yunji, Hong Yingli, Tingyun, Xiao Zhiyi, Zhao Ling’er, wait for me, I will return to the immortal realm and marry the five of you! Don’t worry, I will not disappoint you in this life!”

Ye Yuan was determined to meet those five women in the immortal realms. He had no idea that the five of them were also reincarnating.

“But since I resurrected in someone else’s body, what is my true identity? And why did I end up in the forest covered in wounds?” Ye Yuan closed his eyes, trying to search through the memories of the previous owner.

“Ahaha, I didn’t expect something like this to happen to me, how unlucky.” Ye Yuan opened his eyes after getting the answer to his question.

Ye Yuan was an orphan who worked at the Chu Family residence as a horse caretaker.

Ye Yuan's life was very difficult, he only slept in a horse stable with straw as a base, he was not given any wages at all, he was only given food, and even then it was only leftovers.

It wouldn't be wrong to say Ye Yuan was a slave.

Even so, Ye Yuan never thought of quitting his job there. Because if he quit, he would have to become a beggar who might not be able to eat once a week.

Working in the Chu Family was much better than being a beggar, at least he could eat once a day, sleep in a shady place even though it was in a horse stable with a straw floor, but he had a blanket to protect him from the cold of the night.

One night, Ye Yuan woke up because he needed to pee. At that time, he heard a strange sound from somewhere. When he checked, he witnessed one of the Chu Family Patriarch's concubines having an affair with the Chu Family army chief.

Ye Yuan who was caught at that time, ended up being beaten. Because he was afraid that their affair would be found out, Ye Yuan was slandered for raping the concubine and ended up getting a heavy punishment.

He was beaten and then thrown into this forest.

“Well, people like them always exist.” Ye Yuan smiled bitterly.

“Alright, stop thinking about the past, I should treat my body first.” Ye Yuan sat cross-legged, concentrated then began to absorb the natural energy.

Ye Yuan did not absorb the energy into his Dantian to be processed into Qi energy, but instead made the energy enter the wound.

'The energy absorption is so slow because I have no cultivation at all, but since I only have minor external injuries, it won't be difficult to heal.'

Ye Yuan did not use the energy breathing method like before, because that method would cause the energy to not flow optimally into the wound even though the energy absorption was faster.

After 1 hour, Ye Yuan opened his eyes with a big smile. He stood up and jumped up and down, doing some punching and kicking movements.

“My body has fully recovered, although it is still weak and thin.” Ye Yuan looked at his thin arm.

“I should start cultivating, at least I have to break through to the early stage of Qi Foundation.” Ye Yuan sat down cross-legged again.

According to his memory, cultivation was divided into several levels.

- Qi Foundation

- Core Formation

- Silver Core

- Gold Core

- Nascent Soul

Each is divided into 3 stages, from beginning, middle, end.

“The names of the cultivation levels in this world are quite different from those in the immortal realm. Well, since this is just a mortal realm with so many of them, it is natural that each mortal world has different names for the levels.”

Ye Yuan began to absorb natural energy, he used the energy breathing method, breathing to absorb the surrounding energy.

2 hours passed and Ye Yuan finally broke through to the early-stage Qi Foundation level.

This was just a very weak basic cultivation, everyone could reach the early stage Qi foundation easily with just a little effort, that was why Ye Yuan could easily achieve it with his weak body.

*****

*A little explanation.

Above Nascent Soul there are still further improvements.

- Qi Foundation

- Core Formation

- Silver Core

- Gold Core

- Nascent soul

- Martial King

- Martial Emperor

- Holy Emperor

- Nirvana

This is the mortal world level, the immortal realm level will be explained later.

For weapon levels, pills and others, there are 9 levels from 1 to 9. Keep it short so it's easy to remember and not complicated.

    Ye Yuan, who only had knowledge of the immortal realm, did not know much about the mortal world, even the most basic things, he could only rely on his new body's extremely limited memories. Ye Yuan successfully reached the initial stage of cultivation, his body now already had flowing energy. With that energy, even if it was just a tiny bit, Ye Yuan could do many things, he could also unlock his cultivation potential. “Just the body of a beggar, but having 1 energy point opened is quite good, meaning this body does have cultivation talent, well, even if it’s only the lowest grade.” Generally, a person's natural cultivation talent is determined based on the number of energy points opened. The human body has 64 energy points, the more that are open, the faster a person will cultivate. And there is no way to open this energy point manually, but cultivators can open it by breaking through, but not every time they break through the energy point will open. But for Ye Yuan, opening th

    People flocked to see the red bear, but they kept their distance, making Ye Yuan not get in the way at all. Upon arriving at the clothing store, the shop owner immediately greeted Ye Yuan because he had heard about the person who brought the red bear fur. “Young master, would you like to sell this red bear?” the shop owner asked with a big smile. “Yes, and give me clothes that are worth the price.” Ye Yuan didn’t know the exact price of the red bear fur, so he might be cheated. But it doesn't matter, as long as he gets the clothes it's enough. “Hoho, so young master wants to barter? Of course, come in I will prepare everything.” The shop owner was so enthusiastic. Ye Yuan put away the red bear fur and was carried by the shop assistant. He also took off the animal skull that he had put on his head, revealing a face covered in blood and dried mud. Ye Yuan did that on purpose. Ye Yuan was prepared with a bathroom and simple clothes. He immediately took a shower, cleaned h

    Ye Yuan felt so satisfied after doing all that. It was as if he had just been freed from a shackle. Ye Yuan left immediately after that because some people came because of the commotion he caused. “I’ve already destroyed their vocal cords so they won’t be able to reveal what happened to them at all. Given that they’re just low-class members, I’m sure the Chu Family won’t bother spending a lot of money to treat them.” Ye Yuan smiled broadly, walking in a small alley that was quite dark in the middle of the night. “Alright, I will infiltrate the Chu Family residence next.” Ye Yuan quickly moved towards the Chu Family residence. He already had a plan on how to retaliate against the two people who slandered him for trying to rape the Chu Family's concubine. ** Ye Yuan was now on a tree with very dense leaves, hiding himself in the dark night, looking towards the Chu Family residence's boundary wall which was not that well guarded. Because there have never been any cases of intruder

    Ye Yuan was now inside the inn room after witnessing how the concubine was executed. “To reach the core formation realm, I must form my energy core which will be an important source of power.” Ye Yuan meditated, closing his eyes, concentrating fully. Energy was concentrated in Ye Yuan's Dantian, creating a concentrated energy vortex to form an energy core. “Before I had a Yang energy core, I already had a deep understanding of Yang energy, because of the Yang element inherent in my body, I was completely unable to accept any type of Yin element from any source..” “..But I have done a lot of research on the Yin element before, so I have a lot of knowledge about it.” Ye Yuan did not lower his concentration. “So I will make both elements exist in my body, Yin and Yang, both will form one unity in a consistent balance.” Ye Yuan's energy core began to form, black and white auras burst out from his body. Ye Yuan's expression was clearly calm, not feeling any pressure at all from the f

    Ye Yuan did not expect to fall into someone's trap. He was now surrounded by 5 early-stage Golden Core cultivators. 'To be chased by 5 Golden Core cultivators, what exactly did that girl do? Ah well, I better finish this matter first.' Ye Yuan channeled energy into his forehead to remove the formation symbols stuck there. Finally, the five people surrounding him were able to see Ye Yuan's true appearance. That's how it should be, right? When they saw that Ye Yuan was not the person they were after, the five cultivators should be shocked, right? But why did they look so ordinary? Was it true that he hadn’t released the formation? But Ye Yuan was sure that he had released the formation. "Hey, look carefully, I'm not the person you're looking for? The girl went that way.” Ye Yuan pointed at the direction where the masked girl left. “Hm! We won’t be fooled by your cheap tricks again!” Ye Yuan paused for a moment then smiled wryly as he realized the situation. It seemed like these

    Ye Yuan had only trained his physique for 1 month, without the help of any resources, so his physique was now even weaker than an average Silver Core stage cultivator. That is why using the immortal breathing technique which forcibly strengthens muscles and bones will have side effects. Ye Yuan now felt pain in his body, but he hid it with a big smile. Meanwhile, the 2 opponents who were still standing did not immediately attack because their 3 comrades had fallen in just 30 seconds when their fight started. Now they felt doubtful that if the opponent they were facing was a Silver Core level cultivator, surely the young cultivator would be at least one stage above them. “You guys are not bad, be proud that I gave you praise.” While waiting for his body to recover, Ye Yuan wanted to stall for time by inviting them to talk. He also performed the immortal breathing technique, but unlike before which strengthened the body, now the breathing could help reduce pain. So this immortal

    Ye Yuan returned to Green Leaf Town to sell some of the items he obtained from the Red Valley Sect members. Ye Yuan originally planned to go to the capital of Zhou Kingdom, but he would postpone it for a few days. Ye Yuan used half of the proceeds from the sale of the loot to buy herbs. Currently, Ye Yuan was in the inn room, refining a potion that could strengthen his physique. Because the pill furnace was too expensive and even a low quality one would cost Ye Yuan all his money, he didn't buy a furnace and couldn't refine pills. Although the effectiveness of pills would be better than potions, Ye Yuan had no other choice. If he bought a furnace then he would not be able to buy herbs, so it was better to just buy herbs and not buy a furnace. “Besides, the potions are easier to make.” Ye Yuan smiled after finishing his first potion. Without wasting any time, he immediately drank the potion, meditating to maximize the potion's effects. Ye Yuan had enough herbs to make 20 potions

    “Haha, feel what? I don’t feel anything. You’re just a swindler, now quickly roll out of this Pavilion!” Hearing the officer's words, the smile on Ye Yuan's face disappeared. Although he would not mind drinking the potion and would not sue him, it seemed that this person had no intention of resolving it properly. 'Heh, this kind of potion must be very rare and I'm sure he only has one, so he won't be able to prove it.' The officer tried to calm himself down, even though beads of sweat were already rolling down his forehead. “Hey old man, what do you mean? So this is how the Golden Flower Pavilion treats its customers?! What a joke!” Ye Yuan deliberately raised his voice so that the guards in the Pavilion building started to come over. Seeing the guards coming, the Officer smiled faintly. “Guards! This person wants to cause a commotion.” The officer pointed at Ye Yuan. “Quickly throw him out!” Because of the commotion, the other customers started to move away a little and whisper

    Grand master Feng Kong is currently in his private residence, with Yue Tian Yu consulting about the cultivation problems he is experiencing. Over the years, it was Feng Kong who had been researching Yue Tian Yu's cultivation issues, making various pills and trying various methods, but none of them worked. Now Feng Kong made a new pill for Yue Tian Yu and gave it to the prince of Yue Empire. Yue Tian Yu meditated in a special room, with Feng Kong watching over him. After absorbing the benefits of the pill, Yue Tian Yu opened his eyes and let out a soft sigh. That sigh made Feng Kong immediately realize that it had still failed, something he had seen very often and understood very well. “So it still doesn’t work huh..” Feng Kong stroked his chin. “Then what did you feel when you absorbed the pill?” “Just like before, when absorbing the pill, the energy slowly disappeared who knows where.” Yue Tian Yu shook his head slowly. “Am I not destined to break through the Martial Emperor b

    “Brother Ye, can you really refine a pure pill with ice element herbs?” Elder Xu Hai asked to confirm, not because he looked down on Ye Yuan. “Of course, but if you don’t want me to teach you how, that’s fine.” Ye Yuan shook his head gently. “Fan Wu! Quickly take out the ice element herbs that we stored in the herbal warehouse!” Wu Han immediately ordered Fan Wu. “Yes, master!” Fan Wu immediately went to the herbal warehouse. If the Elders had not known and seen for themselves how Ye Yuan could refine pills using the energy cores of beasts, they would definitely be very doubtful of what Ye Yuan said. Because even the best alchemists of the Medicine God Palace couldn't make pure pills from the ice element, because it was contrary to the way of refining pills using fire. Not long after, Fan Wu returned with a space ring. He took most of the ice element herbs in the treasure house. It didn't take him long to collect them because the number of ice element herbs was not much. Moreove

    Ye Yuan demonstrated how to refine pills using beast energy essences in front of the Pill Emperor Mountain Elders. "This..." The Elders forgot to breathe in awe of the pill. The pill did not emit any metallic scent, its scent was pure like a regular pill, indicating that it was a pure pill. There was no doubt about that. Only Feng Yun was indifferent because he had seen something even more amazing than that pill. Previously, Ye Yuan had successfully refined a tier 7 pill using a beast's energy core as one of the ingredients. So tier 3 pills? He saw it as something normal. After a few minutes of being stunned, the Elders snapped out of their daze and immediately faced Ye Yuan, saluting him respectfully, with their bodies slightly bowed. This is the way alchemists pay respect to other alchemists who have achieved something they could not. “Brother Ye, you are truly amazing for having found the answer to one of the popular problems among alchemists.” “We the Elders of the Pill Em

    Knowledge Hall, a hall within the Tower of Enlightenment, was a special place for the Elders of the Pill Emperor Mountain to hold discussions. This discussion is held routinely once a month, or the Elders can hold it outside the schedule if it is something important. Currently they are discussing some unanswered problems or questions in the science of alchemy. There were 10 Elders currently in the room, and they were all the best tier 7 alchemists in this Pill Emperor Mountain Range. “Hm.. that is indeed interesting to try, mixing in burning silver wood to maintain a stable temperature inside the furnace while we focus on melting the beast energy core.” “But still, the energy core of a beast has metal-like characteristics, mixing it with herbal essence to make a pill, the resulting pill will definitely be as hard as steel, impossible to consume.” “We’ll think about that later, for now just focus on how we can successfully make a pill with the energy core of a wild beast, we can

    Yue Tian Yu tried to size up Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan seemed to be quite familiar with Feng Yun, so he should have some ability. But considering Feng Yun's easy-going nature, Yue Tian Yu was a little hesitant. But no matter what, Ye Yuan might be an alchemist, even though Ye Yuan's cultivation was lower than him, Yue Tian Yu still showed respect for the man. “Prince Yue, I heard that you have some problems with your cultivation, how about I help you?” Ye Yuan intended to build a good relationship with a famous figure, that way he could gain connections and various other benefits later. Although he did not know what exactly caused Yue Tian Yu's cultivation to be stuck at Martial Emperor, Ye Yuan was confident that he could help him. At least he could give a diagnosis even though he could not refine a pill that could help Yue Tian Yu with his current ability. Yue Tian Yu just wanted to answer but was preceded by Feng Yun. “Brother Yue, although Senior Ye is just about to register as an al

    Emperor Energy Pill, was a tier 7 pill that Ye Yuan refined, a pill that could help one break through to the Martial Emperor level. It was an ordinary pill, not an perfect pill, because Ye Yuan did not have enough herbal ingredients to make a perfect pill. So even though the pill could help Ye Yuan break through to Martial Emperor, he did not intend to consume the pill to break through. He would sell the pill, earning a lot of money to buy herbs so that he could refine the perfect pill. But Ye Yuan actually had another plan, and if this succeeded, he could even get a lot of herbs for free without spending a single cent. Breaking through using ordinary pills, the benefits will not be comparable to breaking through using perfect pills. When someone breaks through, it will produce a very abundant energy that makes the body, soul and all parts of the body both outside and inside to become stronger. The more energy is produced when breaking through, the stronger it will be. Perfect p

    “So the diploma from Pill Emperor Mountain can save us from various troubles?” Ye Yuan asked after a few minutes of silence. “Yes, you can enter various cities, visit various organizations easily, be accepted in many places, even if you meet bandits, usually if you show the Pill Emperor jade token, they will let you go. Well, unless you meet a madman, you will not be in any danger.” Feng Yun nodded with full confidence and pride in the Pill Emperor Mountain Range. “I am actually an alchemist, so how can I register at the Pill Emperor Mountain Range?” Ye Yuan intended to register as an alchemist so that he could travel more easily without many obstacles. If he could visit various organizations, then he would be able to easily make them allies and ask for their help later. “You… are an alchemist?” Feng Yun naturally doubted Ye Yuan because he had seen how unreasonable the young man’s strength was earlier.

    Ye Yuan beat the giant wolf beast for hours until the beast died. Ye Yuan’s body was covered in blood, but it was the blood of the beasts he killed, not his own. There was no way he would be injured by a late stage Martial Kong with his current extremely strong body. He now stood on the beast's head, staring coldly at the beast's corpse. “You endured for quite some time. Well, that at least calmed my anger.” Ye Yuan felt better now after venting his anger on the wolf. The wolf's fate was indeed very unfortunate to have to meet Ye Yuan. Well, it was actually it who came before Ye Yuan. It was like the beast itself come to death. The blood on Ye Yuan’s clothes evaporated and disappeared completely, his clothes instantly clean of blood. Ye Yuan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to further stabilize his emotions. He glanced in a direction. "Get out before I kill you!" A man came out from behind a tree with an awkward smile. “Ahaha, friend, sorry in advance, I actually didn’t

He was Ye Yuan who had just managed to escape from the battlefield between the Demon Sword Sect and the Purple Titan Palace. Ye Yuan remained still on his back, his expression blank. Although his body was now covered in wounds, especially his stomach which was riddled with holes, he did not show the slightest reaction of pain, because his mind was completely focused on what had just happened.
