A mortal, starting with the Heavenly Bottle!

"Junior Sister Dong, what are you saying? Junior Sister is a beauty of unparalleled grace and charm, how could I not be interested in her? It's just that we are indeed not suitable candidates. If Junior Sister is in a hurry to find a Daoist partner, you can choose any of the young talents within the Yue Kingdom. There's no need to come to me specifically, because I have no plans to become a Daoist partner with anyone else at the moment."

Lin Fan said with his smile unchanged.

"Since Senior Brother is unwilling to become my Daoist partner, then I will take my leave."

After saying that, Dong Xuan'er didn't continue to pester him. She turned her face away and left without any hesitation.

This made Lin Fan breathe a sigh of relief, after all, Dong Xuan'er's background and backing were too powerful for Lin Fan to afford to offend.

Especially Hong Fu, Dong Xuan'er's backer, had no liking for such a handsome man, only disgust. So, she would naturally avoid provoking him if possible.

"I never expected that they would come knocking on my door so soon after I reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Looks like I need to hurry."

After Dong Xuan'er left, Lin Fan naturally returned to his cave dwelling and began to plan what would happen next.

For him, the most important thing right now is to destroy the Black Fiend Cult and get the exact location of the teleportation array from its leader.

Once the teleportation array is found and repaired, he can travel to the Chaotic Star Sea to study abroad.

No matter what happens in the cultivation world of Tiannan afterward, it will have nothing to do with him.

By using Han Li's Heavenly Bottle to cultivate spiritual herbs and the Rainbow Grass to catch demonic beasts, as long as we develop step by step, we have a good chance of either forming a Core Formation or eventually condensing a Nascent Soul.

Even advancing to the Nascent Soul stage is a possibility.

After all, besides the little green bottle, he has another major advantage, which is his understanding of the plot, allowing him to seize more opportunities and gain more chances.

This can be considered an unconventional cheat code.

Having failed to obtain a cheat code, he seriously suspected that the Time and Space Administration might be experiencing poor economic performance recently, making it impossible to produce cheat codes.

……

Three days passed in a flash, and Lin Fan successfully obtained the puppet he wanted from his senior brother Lin.

However, this puppet is only at the Qi Refining stage; there are no puppets at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Moreover, the number is not large; there are only five puppets at the twelfth level of the Qi Refining stage and one puppet at the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining stage, which is at the Great Perfection stage.

Together, they are enough to deal with cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, but they are still not enough for Lin Fan.

But this was already the limit that Senior Brother Lin could offer.

Although Senior Brother Lin certainly still had some, he was reluctant to take them out, because they were his most treasured puppets.

Given their current relationship, it's impossible to get Senior Brother Lin to offer any help.

But no matter what, it still has some use.

"Junior Brother Han, we have the puppet. Let's set off."

Once he had the puppet, Lin Fan immediately sent a transmission talisman to Han Li.

After receiving the communication talisman, Han Li set off to meet up with Lin Fan.

……

Once the two met, they each piloted their flying magical artifacts and headed straight for Yuejing.

Although this is the realm of cultivation in the Yue Kingdom, and basically no foolish cultivators would come here, that's not necessarily true. For example, there might be some rogue cultivators who don't know the rules, or rogue cultivators who know the rules but still want to enjoy life.

There are actually quite a few rogue cultivators like this. They don't really affect Lin Fan and Han Li, but they are the best prey for the Black Fiend Sect.

The Black Fiend Sect dared not easily attack the disciples of the Seven Sects, but they would attack those lone rogue cultivators.

The seven sects do not care about the safety of rogue cultivators.

This is also a major reason why the Black Fiend Cult has not been discovered to this day, because they rarely take action against the disciples of the Seven Sects, even those who are only at the Qi Refining stage.

……

"I didn't expect the Black Fiend Cult to be so clever?"

Yuejing, Wanxiang Teahouse private room.

After hearing the information Han Li had gathered, Lin Fan couldn't help but praise him.

Upon arriving in Yuejing, Lin Fan immediately instructed Han Li to gather information from various sources, which led to the discovery of what could be considered useful information. Although it took some time, it was worthwhile.

"Junior brother, when do you think would be a good time to make a move?" Lin Fan asked, glancing at Han Li.

If it comes to cunning, he admits he can't compare to Han Li in front of him, so he naturally wants to ask for the other party's opinion.

"As soon as possible, the sooner the better," Han Li said calmly.

But his expression was somewhat unnatural. Although he tried to hide it very well, Lin Fan still noticed and pressed him for details: "Junior Brother Han, did you run into something? Why do you look a little off?"

"It's nothing, Senior Brother, don't overthink it." Han Li shook his head, denying it outright.

"Just tell me what you need to do; I won't refuse if it helps."

Hearing this, Lin Fan felt even more that Han Li was acting strangely.

He then realized that this was the capital city, and that Han Li's old friend, or rather his junior sister, seemed to be in the capital city at this time.

"Could it be that Junior Brother has encountered an old friend?"

The moment the question was uttered, Han Li's expression changed drastically. Although he recovered quickly, he still couldn't escape Lin Fan's gaze.

Seeing the drastic change in Han Li's expression, Lin Fan was certain that Han Li must have encountered his junior sister, Mo Fengwu.

Then, he personally poured Han Li a cup of tea and pushed it in front of him.

"Senior brother, may I ask you a question?" Han Li asked with a bitter expression as he looked at the fragrant tea that Lin Fan was pushing towards him.

"Tell me, what's the problem? Is it a problem with your cultivation, or something else?" Lin Fan picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and asked with a smile.

"Is it truly impossible to cultivate immortality without spiritual roots?"

"Without spiritual roots, one cannot cultivate immortality, but spiritual roots are not necessarily innate. With enough opportunities, even a mortal can acquire spiritual roots and become a cultivator. However, the possibility is extremely low; no one throughout history has ever achieved this. But we are in the mortal realm; in the spirit realm, it would be possible."

Han Li was shocked by Lin Fan's words and was completely stunned.

"Does Senior Brother mean that mortals can also possess spiritual roots and thus embark on the path of cultivation?"

Han Li blurted out the question, his tone revealing emotion and tension, even his expression and gaze were fixed on Lin Fan.

Lin Fan nodded in agreement, "That's right. If mortals could obtain spiritual roots, they could naturally become cultivators. But this is extremely difficult, even impossible. There is only hope in the Spirit Realm."

After saying that, Lin Fan pointed to the sky above them.
