A mortal, starting with the Heavenly Bottle!

"Only by ascending to the Spirit Realm is it possible, right?"

"That's right, indeed. Only in the Spirit Realm can mortals possess spiritual roots, thus embarking on the path of cultivation. Within the Spirit Realm, there is a type of cultivator who is not a true cultivator, but rather a body refiner. They temper their physical bodies, enabling them to fight against ordinary cultivators and demonic beasts. It is said that powerful body refiners can possess terrifying strength comparable to Nascent Soul stage cultivators, but even so, their lifespan is only slightly longer than that of ordinary people. In fact, due to excessive body tempering, their lifespan may even be reduced, requiring them to consume large amounts of life-extending elixirs to live longer."

"The goal of these body cultivators is to one day obtain a tremendous opportunity, thereby acquiring spiritual roots and embarking on the path of cultivating immortality."

"Besides that, there's another point: if you want to reach the Void Refinement Realm in the Spirit Realm, you must possess all five elemental spiritual roots. In other words, even if you currently have four pseudo-elemental spiritual roots, if you want to become a Void Refinement cultivator in the future, you will have to make up for the missing elemental spiritual root. As for how to make up for it, you will naturally know after you ascend to the Spirit Realm."

"Senior brother, how do you know all this?"

After listening to what Lin Fan had to say, Han Li stared in disbelief and shock, his astonishment almost matching that when the Heavenly Bottle was exposed.

"This was all told to me by a guy named Wangyu. As for him, he loves reading ancient books and classics, so he knows quite a bit about them. After all, these things are almost useless for cultivation now. Who would read these things if they didn't have any free time? We learned about it from him during a casual chat."

Lin Fan didn't hide anything from him and told him directly.

"I see. So there really is no way for mortals to possess spiritual roots in the human realm?"

Han Li, still unwilling to give up, asked another question.

"It seems Junior Brother Han has found a woman he likes, but unfortunately, this woman is a mortal without spiritual roots. That's why he's so anxious to ask if there's a way for mortals to acquire spiritual roots, right?"

Lin Fan's words caused Han Li's expression to change again. Although he recovered quickly, he still nodded and admitted it.

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from Senior Brother."

For Han Li, with the matter of the little green bottle exposed, the rest was naturally no big deal.

"Actually, she's not someone I'm particularly fond of. She's just a junior sister I met in the mortal world, and we've discussed medical issues for a few days. A few days ago, while I was inquiring about the Black Fiend Sect, I happened to run into her in the capital and felt a connection with her. Unfortunately, she doesn't have any spiritual roots and can't cultivate. She even asked me if it's possible to cultivate immortality without spiritual roots. I didn't know how to answer, so I came to ask you, senior brother. I hope you won't blame me."

Han Li confessed truthfully, and after he finished speaking, a complex expression appeared on his face.

"It's nothing. Judging from the looks of that girl, she must be absolutely stunning and breathtakingly beautiful. Otherwise, she wouldn't have captivated my junior brother so much."

Lin Fan joked with a smile.

Although there are still some errors in the timing, it's about right. Anyway, the current plot has changed because of his appearance, so it's possible that Mo Fengwu is really in the capital.

It can only be said that Han Li and she are destined to be together; they are truly destined to be together.

"Since she can't cultivate immortality, let's hope she can live a life of wealth and peace."

Han Li shook his head and said nothing more, the complex expression on his face disappearing.

"Junior brother, why don't you take me to meet that girl? Because in this cultivation world, there is a kind of spiritual root called the Hidden Spiritual Root. This kind of spiritual root appears and disappears, and one can only cultivate when it appears. When it doesn't appear, one cannot cultivate, and one cannot even mobilize the true essence and magic power within the body. Therefore, such cultivators usually cultivate both body and magic."

Lin Fan's words immediately changed Han Li's expression, and he looked at Lin Fan in shock.

"Senior brother, are you saying that my junior sister might have a hidden spiritual root?"

"Don't misunderstand, I didn't say that. I only said that such a spiritual root exists. As for whether your junior sister possesses it, I don't know. I just want to meet your junior sister and personally verify it. If she does, that would be best; if not, then so be it. Because the probability of such a spiritual root appearing is extremely rare. Even in ancient books, there's hardly any record of it. If it weren't for what that scoundrel said, I wouldn't believe that such a spiritual root could exist in the cultivation world."

Lin Fan shook his head directly, his expression slightly solemn.

"Which of my junior sisters did your senior brother want to see, which is why he told me about this kind of spiritual root?"

Han Li sighed and repeated it again, his tone and eyes still carrying a hint of expectation.

"That's right, that's exactly what I meant. If you don't want to, then forget it. Because I'm really curious, what kind of girl could have my junior brother so infatuated?"

Lin Fan nodded and readily admitted it.

"In that case, I'll take you to meet that junior sister."

Seeing that Lin Fan had said so, Han Li had no choice but to agree.

"Let's get going without delay. I want to see what kind of girl could be so captivating to you."

Lin Fan's smile grew even wider, and his eyes were full of anticipation.

Whether he was reading a book or now, he wanted to see Mo Fengwu.

Now that we're destined to meet, we absolutely must.

"After we meet your junior sister, we'll take action against the Black Fiend Cult and completely eradicate this evil cult. Then we'll report back to the sect, and that'll be the end of it."

Lin Fan then explained the subsequent arrangements.

Han Li naturally had no objection to Lin Fan's arrangement and readily agreed.

"No problem, I'll do whatever you say, senior brother."

Then, Han Li got up and led the way, while Lin Fan paid for the tea and followed closely behind.

……

Before long, the two entered the Qin family residence in the capital.

Lin Fan was quite familiar with this secular family that was related to Li Huayuan.

However, there were no other cultivators in this family at the moment, so no one noticed Lin Fan and his companion's entry.

Lin Fan met Mo Fengwu as he had hoped just half an hour after entering the Qin residence.

However, this did not alarm Mo Fengwu; she merely observed from a distance.

It must be said that she was indeed beautiful, with a face like a flower and the moon, a beauty that could topple kingdoms and cities.

Besides the two cultivators, many young members of the Qin family are also spying on them through various means.
