Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 217: Qin Haoran

Everyone had already left the courtyard, led by Li Haoran’s parents to the guest reception hall. As Qin Yanyan was the most junior among those present, she served everyone some snacks and tea.

Although Qin Yanyan was similar in age to Li Haoran, Lu Yang, and Meng Jingzhou, she lost to them in terms of seniority.

“Li Haoran’s previous incarnation was called Qin Haoran. He was my husband and a cultivator at the Apex Fusion Stage.” Su Yiren mentioned a name no one had heard of before.

Everyone reacted differently.

Li Haoran’s parents didn’t expect their son to have such an impressive background.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were eager to listen in on gossip but also wary of getting implicated in troublesome matters.

Qin Yanyan didn’t acknowledge Li Haoran’s identity, but she was still interested in hearing her mother talk about her father, who was seldom mentioned.

Li Haoran was expressionless—he had given up on resisting; he simply wanted to see how things would unfold.

Perhaps the matters had been suppressed in her heart for so long, or perhaps she was lost in her own memories, but whatever the reason, the more Su Yiren spoke about it, the more eloquent she became. “I met Qin Haoran five hundred years ago. At that time, I was living in isolation in the mountains as a secluded cultivator. I hardly left the mountain except to pay taxes once every ten years.

“One day, when I was meditating in the forest, a person covered in blood broke through the barrier I had set up and crashed into the ground. When he saw me approaching, he instinctively tried to activate his powers to defend himself, but he was too badly wounded to do so, and he soon fell unconscious.

“Finding him very pitiful, I saved him. He only woke up after a month. After he came to, he was initially very on guard, but after learning that I had taken care of him for a month, he relaxed and thanked me for saving his life.”

Su Yiren involuntarily skipped over some details—such as how Qin Haoran’s injuries were internal, yet she had completely wrapped him up in white cloth and even put him in a cast, making Qin Haoran look like a mummy that had hidden inside a terracotta soldier. If not for Su Yiren’s “care,” Qin Haoran could probably have woken up half a month earlier. All these are minor details, so it’s fine even if I don’t bring them up.

“He said his name was Qin Haoran and that he was a Fusion cultivator. A month ago, his enemies were pursuing him. Although he successfully killed them off, he sustained extremely grave injuries. He also apologized for destroying the barrier I had set up.

“I could discern that he was telling the truth. Even though he had just awakened and could mobilize only a small portion of his powers, he was too battered, and his meridians were all broken. He was a complete mess.

“Initially, he wanted to leave, but I was worried that he might encounter some danger if he left just like that, so I told him he could stay. And thus, he remained in the mountains to recuperate. Over time, we developed feelings for each other and married. Our marriage was very low-key. We only invited some mountain demon spirits and a few close friends.

“After he recovered, he became busy every day. I asked him what he was doing and whether he needed my help. He said he was doing something very dangerous and that it would be safer for me to stay in the dark. Out of trust, I didn’t press further.

“For the next five hundred years, Haoran slowly advanced to the Apex Fusion Stage and was only a step away from the Transcendent Tribulation Stage. He told me he used to be abstemious, thinking that it was the best way to cultivate. However, ever since he met me and married me, he realized that his previous mindset was wrong.

“During this time we were together, his rigid bottleneck loosened, and his cultivation progressed repeatedly. I asked him why my cultivation hadn’t improved, and he answered that it could be that my cultivation talent was inadequate.

“It’s extremely hard for high-level cultivators to have children. We worked hard for five hundred years before I became pregnant with Yanyan. Later, he stated that he had touched the threshold of the Transcendent Tribulation Stage but was lacking just one heavenly tribulation. He wanted to fight for a future for us, mother and daughter.

“The risk of the tribulation was too high, and I tried to persuade him otherwise. However, he explained that his identity was too special. If he didn’t reach the Transcendent Tribulation Stage, he would have to remain in hiding for the rest of his life. Only by achieving the Transcendent Tribulation Stage could he overcome this situation.

“Unfortunately, the heavenly tribulation was too terrifying. Regardless of his many preparations, he still couldn’t withstand the last lightning tribulation and plummeted from the sky. I bawled my eyes out as I caught him, desperately stuffing all kinds of top-grade pills into his mouth. He said he knew best about his condition and had no chance of surviving.

“That was when he told me not to worry. He had practiced a type of cultivation technique that allowed him to reincarnate endlessly, with his talent in each lifetime being better than the previous. Qin Haoran was his eighth incarnation. Originally, he planned to tell the matter of his reincarnation to his subordinates so they could help look out for his next incarnation and ensure that he grew up safely. However, he later felt that he couldn’t trust them and decided to ask me to look after his next incarnation instead.

“He imparted to me the secret method to find his next incarnation. Following the secret method, I found Aunt, who was pregnant at the time. When Uncle and Aunt ran into danger, I rescued them. Afterward, I arranged a betrothal with Haoran, who was still in her belly, hoping to rekindle our past relationship.”

Li Haoran was bewildered. “Didn’t you suspect that it was a lie made up by Qin Haoran before he died?”

Su Yiren shook her head gently. “I did have some doubts, but your talent can’t be faked. When you tested your spirit root at the age of six, I was hiding in the shadows and saw with my own eyes that you had a Fire Spirit Root. No matter how powerful Haoran was, he couldn’t have randomly pointed someone out and asserted that he had a Single Spirit Root.”

“But what if Qin Haoran had a way to predict someone else’s talent?” Li Haoran was still unwilling to give up.

Su Yiren smiled. “I know you still don’t fully believe what I’ve said. Time will prove everything. Haoran once told me that as the cultivation of his next incarnation increases, he will gradually acquire memory fragments of his past lives. That said, you don’t have to worry about these memory fragments affecting your personality. You will still be you.”

When it came to profound topics like reincarnation, Lu Yang reckoned it was time to consult an immortal well-versed in ancient secrets. “Immortal Fairy, does reincarnation truly exist?”

“Theories of reincarnation had already existed in an era far older than ancient times. At that time, there were countless prodigies, and people often said, ‘This child has extraordinary talent; they might be the reincarnation of so-and-so.’ Some even claimed that the five of us could become immortals because we were also reincarnations of so-and-so.

“After the five of us became immortals, we worked together to deduce the mysteries of the world and discovered that reincarnation did not exist. All those previous rumors were simply baseless fantasies of the people.”

“Is that to say that Qin Haoran was really lying?” Lu Yang was dumbfounded. A few moments ago, I really thought that Li Haoran was Qin Haoran’s reincarnation.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy shook her head. “I only said that reincarnation didn’t exist in the ancient era. That doesn’t necessarily mean that it doesn’t exist now.”

“What do you mean?” Lu Yang was even more befuddled.

“You have to know that the emergence of a Dao Fruit signifies the creation of a new rule in the world. During the time I was dead, what if someone had formed a ‘Reincarnation’ Dao Fruit?

“In that case, wouldn’t the notion of reincarnation become a reality?”
