A mortal, starting with the Heavenly Bottle!

Not long after seeing off the mother and daughter from the Myriad Sounds Sect, Han Li returned from the Outer Star Sea and immediately came to find Lin Fan.

After learning about the Myriad Sounds Sect, Han Li couldn't help but sigh.

"Such a beauty, why isn't my senior brother moved?"

"Of course I'm tempted, and it's only a matter of time before that Fairy Ziling advances to the Nascent Soul stage, or even the Deity Transformation stage. But right now I don't even have the ability to protect myself, let alone protect her. And what they care about is just the Star Palace behind me."

"Alright, come with me into the cave."

With that, Lin Fan led Han Li back to his cave dwelling hall.

"You know perfectly well who I admire. Since I already have someone I admire, how could I possibly be interested in this Fairy Ziling? As for her as a concubine, that's even more impossible, since Fairy Ziling has already advanced to the Core Formation stage, just like us. Even becoming Daoist partners is fine."

Back in the main hall of the cave, Lin Fan sat down and slowly began to recount the current situation.

"And it's only been a short time, yet you're back. How many demonic beasts did you hunt this time? How many demonic cores did you obtain? Hand them over."

Lin Fan immediately changed the subject; what he cared about was this matter.

"This time, Senior Brother should obtain about a hundred high-grade demon cores, two-thirds of which are level five, only six are level seven, and the rest are level six. This should help Senior Brother advance further. I'm also preparing to refine my own natal magic weapon. Does Senior Brother have any suggestions?"

Hearing Lin Fan change the subject, Han Li naturally didn't dwell on it and started talking about what he had gained during this period.

"It seems you've reaped considerable rewards these past years. Since you wish to refine your natal magic weapon, the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword is the natural choice. Moreover, the more the better, ideally reaching the top-tier seventy-two. This will only bring you benefits, not harm. Although controlling so many magic weapons with your current cultivation level is difficult, as long as your divine sense is strong enough, and as your strength grows, there will naturally be no problem. Especially since there is a sword formation called the Great Geng Sword Formation following it. Although it requires a large amount of Geng essence, as long as you can successfully refine it, even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator will be unable to harm you, and at the very least, you will be able to escape unscathed."

As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, before the words had even finished, Han Li's eyes lit up, and his face flushed with excitement. He stared at Lin Fan with a radiant expression and blurted out the words.

"Senior brother, are you serious?"

"When have I ever lied to you? Of course it's true. It's just that with your current strength, it's simply impossible for you to forge this sword formation. I'm just telling you in advance so you can forge all seventy-two magic weapons. Anyway, you don't lack any materials, so you can definitely forge them."

"Furthermore, I plan to refine this set of magic weapons based on Golden Thunder Bamboo first. Even if it can't be used as my natal magic weapon, it's still a good thing for my current state. After all, I'm already in the late stage of Core Formation. If I don't even have a suitable set of magic weapons, wouldn't I be a laughing stock?"

Lin Fan nodded, and Han Li deeply agreed with what he said.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother. I've cultivated quite a lot over the years, enough for both of us. However, this Geng Essence is a material that even Nascent Soul cultivators covet. Obtaining it won't be an easy task."

Lin Fan deeply agreed with Han Li's words.

"Nonsense! Think about this after you advance to the Nascent Soul stage. I will do my best to help you, but whether you can successfully refine this sword formation depends on your abilities. Anyway, I've said what I needed to say. What you do next is up to you. But there's one thing you need to remember."

"Senior brother, please speak."

Seeing Lin Fan pause, Han Li asked him a question.

"Craft this magical artifact carefully, and make sure there are no mistakes. This concerns your future. There is also something else I need you to do, and this must be done quietly, without letting anyone know."

"Let's try to collect as many fragments of the Void Heaven Map as possible, so that it won't just be the two of us entering the Void Heaven Palace. I also plan to bring Ruyin into the Void Heaven Palace with me, so that we can gain more."

Lin Fan's words made Han Li nod heavily, without any refusal.

"I understand, senior brother. Please rest assured. I will handle these two matters well and there will be no mistakes."

"Good to know. To be honest, I am indeed attracted to that Fairy Ziling, but she is not a good match for me. She has great ambitions, and now that she has already formed her core, she probably doesn't want to become a Daoist partner with someone so quickly. She wants to advance further to the Nascent Soul stage. Only in this way can she gain a foothold in this cultivation world. And with her physique, advancing to the Nascent Soul stage is only a matter of time, so try to befriend her as much as possible and avoid offending her."

Lin Fan reminded him again.

"I understand, and I certainly won't offend this Fairy Ziling."

"Alright, go back and hurry up and refine your natal magic weapon."

Faced with Lin Fan's order to leave, Han Li naturally complied and took his leave.

After Han Li left, Lin Fan began to examine the gifts Han Li had given him.

As Han Li said, the harvest consisted mostly of level 5 demon cores, level 7 demon cores were the least, and the rest were level 6 demon cores, along with some relatively rare demon beast materials.

However, these demon cores are of relatively common quality in this chaotic star sea; there are very few rare demon cores from demonic beasts.

It's possible that Han Li embezzled a little, but probably not too much.

Besides the demon core, the Golden Thunder Bamboo was what Lin Fan cared about most.

Although it is not suitable for crafting a natal magic weapon that matches his attributes, it can craft other Golden Thunder Bamboo magic weapons.

However, Han Li didn't give out many Golden Thunder Bamboos, only five.

It's not that Han Li is stingy, but rather that the little green bottle's abilities are limited.

It's already quite an achievement to have cultivated so many golden bamboos over the years.

Aside from his five plants, the rest will likely be used to forge the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword.

This is Han Li's natal magic weapon.

In fact, if it weren't for the incompatibility of their attributes, Lin Fan would have wanted to refine this set of natal magic weapons, especially with the addition of Golden Thunder Bamboo, which would make it an even more powerful weapon for annihilating strong enemies. Not to mention the Great Geng Sword Formation he would refine later.

The magical artifact he was preparing to refine was also based on this model and was improved upon.

For this reason, he specifically consulted many weapon-refining masters.
