A mortal, starting with the Heavenly Bottle!

"It is Han Li's honor to become Junior Brother Lin's disciple. Here is his Foundation Establishment Pill, which Junior Brother Lin can handle."

The sect leader didn't press further, but instead took out the Foundation Establishment Pill that Han Li had been longing for.

When Han Li saw the sect leader take out the box containing the Foundation Establishment Pill and hand it to Lin Fan, his face flushed red with excitement.

He didn't reach out to take it, because it was handed to Lin Fan, who simply accepted the Foundation Establishment Pill with one hand and thanked the sect leader.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Sect Leader. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

Lin Fan handed the Foundation Establishment Pill to Han Li and then took his leave.

With a mix of excitement and trepidation, Han Li accepted the Foundation Establishment Pill, bowed to the stewards and sect leader present, and then followed Lin Fan as he turned to leave.

"Senior brother, why didn't you stop Junior Brother Lin from having a proper talk with him about what I told you last time?"

After the two had left, a kind-looking old man asked a question.

"You all know our junior brother's temperament. Now that he's said he wants to leave, it's almost impossible to stop him and discuss things. Besides, that matter can't be rushed. If we're too hasty, it will backfire."

The sect leader shook his head and said slowly.

Upon hearing this, the kind old man could only sigh and said no more.

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, what do you think Junior Brother Lin is planning to do by taking in that disciple with the pseudo-spiritual root? Could he be doing something bad? Or maybe he wants to... obtain that Foundation Establishment Pill and leave it for..."

Another manager cautiously offered his guess.

"Shut up, what nonsense are you spouting? How could Junior Brother Lin possibly be that kind of person?"

Before he could finish speaking, the sect leader couldn't help but reprimand him.

Hearing the reprimand from his senior brother, the manager dared not say anything more.

However, I still had some doubts in my heart.

Actually, it wasn't just him; the other managers were in similar situations.

After all, if this Foundation Establishment Pill were auctioned outside, it would cost at least two to three thousand spirit stones.

For these Foundation Establishment cultivators, this was a huge sum of money.

……

Lin Fan was naturally unaware of the thoughts behind these managers.

Because at this moment, he was asking Han Li what to do with the Foundation Establishment Pill on his body.

And two choices were given.

The first option is to take the Foundation Building Pill now.

In this way, Han Li's cultivation level can reach the Great Perfection of the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining stage in a short period of time.

However, there is absolutely no possibility of successfully establishing a foundation; this is inevitable and there will be no unexpected events.

The second option is to keep this Foundation Establishment Pill, seize the time to cultivate and nurture spiritual herbs, so that Lin Fan can help refine more Foundation Establishment Pills.

In this way, even if the foundation is successfully established in the future, there will be little doubt about it.

Of course, there is a third option: to exchange for cultivation resources such as spirit stones and magical artifacts.

Han Li rejected this option without hesitation.

After all, with the spiritual herbs cultivated in the little green bottle, he would never lack spiritual stones, magical artifacts, or other cultivation resources.

Under these circumstances, Han Li only has two choices left.

Han Li was deeply conflicted about these two choices.

For a moment, I didn't know what choice to make.

One choice could allow him to rapidly increase his strength and power in a short period of time, thus giving him more power to protect himself.

It is extremely important in the cultivation world, and even in this Yellow Maple Valley, it is of paramount importance.

Because disciples of Yellow Maple Valley occasionally go missing.

In response, the higher-ups only sent people to investigate briefly, and basically nothing came of it in the end.

Therefore, this sect is not absolutely safe.

Although it's better than the demonic sects and families, it's not much better.

However, if the foundation is successfully established in the future, there will definitely be people who have doubts.

Although this matter could be attributed to Lin Fan, it will ultimately attract more attention.

This was somewhat difficult for Han Li, who wanted to cultivate in a low-key manner, to accept.

However, by then, once the foundation has been laid, there will be no need to worry too much.

"I'd like to think about it some more, is that alright?"

After much deliberation, Han Li arrived at the cave dwelling and gave his answer.

"Of course, no problem, just don't forget to manage my herb garden."

Lin Fan was not surprised or astonished by Han Li's answer; he simply nodded in agreement without changing his expression.

This relieved Han Li slightly, and he immediately thanked him.

"Thank you, Uncle-Master."

"Alright, no need to thank me. This is ultimately your problem."

Lin Fan shook his head indifferently.

After saying that, she parted ways with Han Li and returned to her cultivation chamber.

Han Li naturally found a place to sit down and began to think things through.

At the same time, the news that Han Li not only obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill with the Ascension Token, but also became a disciple of Lin Fan, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, spread like wildfire throughout the entire Yellow Maple Valley.

Especially since Lin Fan, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, also possesses an ice-attribute unique spiritual root, he has a very high chance of condensing a golden core in the future.

This is equivalent to Han Li becoming a disciple of a Core Formation stage cultivator ahead of time.

This made Han Li an instant sensation in the entire Yellow Maple Valley.

Countless disciples of Huangfeng Valley were green with envy and jealousy towards Han Li.

He even wanted to kill Han Li, take his Foundation Establishment Pill, and become a disciple of Lin Fan, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

When they learned that Han Li only possessed a pseudo-spiritual root with four attributes, their jealousy intensified.

Some disciples have even declared that they must find an opportunity to properly learn from Han Li.

There was more than one such disciple.

Han Li was unaware of these external events.

After all, he had been contemplating whether or not to take the Foundation Establishment Pill in his cave for some time, so he naturally couldn't know what was happening outside.

They could not possibly know that they had become a prominent figure in the entire sect.

It wasn't because of his spiritual talent, but because his luck was so good that it made people envious.

It's so enviable that it makes you want to grind your teeth and kill him.

But Han Li soon learned that he had become a prominent figure in the sect.

Because he needs to learn magic, it's impossible for Lin Fan to teach him personally; he needs to find a disciple responsible for teaching magic to learn from.

It was at this time that he learned about his situation within the sect from Wu Feng, the disciple in charge of teaching magic.

Upon learning that so many of his fellow disciples were jealous of him, Han Li finally made a decision.
