Mortal: Transmigrated into Han Li, becoming a person with five spiritual roots

.......

"Senior Brother Han!"

Just then, a surprised female voice rang out, and a woman walked in from outside the door.

She looked young, no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a red midriff-baring dress and a curvaceous figure.

Besides her stunning waist, what's most eye-catching is the faint gold lines etched on her smooth, porcelain-like skin, which are quite alluring.

The visitor was none other than Shi Die.

He exuded a faint aura of mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation, indicating that he had recently broken through.

Shi Die first looked at Han Li, her eyes revealing joy.

She was just about to say something.

But before he could even speak, he saw the woman in the room.

The woman had skin as smooth as jade and a slender figure. A long purple dress accentuated her elegant and refined temperament.

Most importantly, she had a face that could launch a thousand ships. Even though she wore a veil, she was so beautiful that it was impossible to look away once you saw her.

Only then did Shi Die realize that the room was elegantly decorated and contained some items used by women.

Upon realizing this, Shi Die froze on the spot.

"Brother Han, won't you introduce this young lady to Ziling?"

Zi Ling spoke first, her voice soft, steady, and calm.

At the same time, Zi Ling glanced at Shi Die.

She walked up to Han Li as if by accident and stood beside him.

"Cough cough."

"Zi Ling, this Junior Sister Shi Die is the daughter of the Lord of Red Moon Island, and she once saved Han Li's life."

Han Li coughed twice and then introduced himself.

Daughter of the owner of Red Moon Island?

A life-saving grace?

Upon hearing this, Zi Ling remained composed, a slight glint in her beautiful eyes.

Then, Han Li took a few more steps forward.

"Junior Sister Shi Die, this is Sect Master Zi Ling of the Miao Yin Sect, and a... good friend of mine."

Han Li said.

Upon hearing this, Shi Die breathed a slight sigh of relief, and the tension on her face subsided considerably.

Thankfully, they're not a Daoist couple.

Zi Ling's appearance even made her, a woman herself, feel a little frightened.

Although she felt slightly relieved, Shi Die still felt something was off.

The relationship between this Purple Spirit Sect Master and Brother Han must be quite extraordinary.

Such a beauty, yet she chose to share a room with Brother Han.

Could it be that she's plotting something against Senior Brother Han?

But Shi Die had been in charge of Red Moon Island's affairs for several years, and her expression quickly returned to normal.

"A life-saving grace? It seems there's quite a story between Brother Han and Sister Shi Die."

Zi Ling spoke softly and calmly, with a faint smile in her eyes.

"May I tell my sister about it?"

Contrary to Shi Die's expectations, Zi Ling did not assert her sovereignty.

Stone Butterfly gradually lowered her guard.

Then, for some reason, the two women started chatting.

The soft laughter of a woman could be heard from time to time.

Han Li tried to interject several times, but he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Helpless, he could only pick up his teacup and drink it by himself.

A gentle breeze blew by, causing the purple gauze curtains in the room to flutter softly, and a faint fragrance wafted through the air, creating a very comfortable atmosphere.

Listen to the two women recount what had happened before.

Memories gradually surfaced in Han Li's mind.

......

"I see."

"I'm rather envious of the kind of experience that Sister Shidie and Brother Han had."

After listening to Shi Die's story, Zi Ling lowered her head unconsciously, as if she was thinking about something.

His eyes seemed to dim for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

"Sister Ziling, you have suffered a lot over the years and supported Miaoyin Sect all by yourself. Shidie has great respect for you."

Shi Die spoke her mind sincerely, seemingly unaware of Zi Ling's change.

She's right. Even though Zi Ling was exceptionally intelligent from a young age, she was also quite innocent and naive when she was young.

If it weren't for unforeseen circumstances and being forced into a corner, who would willingly endure pain to grow?

The petite Wang Ning of that year.

Now she has grown into a graceful and dignified sect leader, capable of standing on her own.

"In that case, it is Brother Han who is in the wrong."

"It took so many years to form the core, and after emerging from seclusion, he didn't even think to send a message to Sister Shi Die, which made her anxious for a long time."

Just then, Zi Ling's gentle voice rang out in the room.

Han Li was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to answer.

After spending nearly a year together on Red Moon Island, he and Shi Die developed quite a bit of affection for each other.

However, most of these relationships are between siblings, with romantic relationships accounting for only one-third.

Moreover, now doesn't seem to be the time for romance.

He has very important things to do.

"Senior Brother Han has only recently advanced to the Core Formation stage, so I imagine... he must have many things to take care of. I understand."

Upon hearing Zi Ling's words, a blush instantly appeared on Shi Die's fair cheeks, spreading all the way to her ears.

Where was the wariness he had towards Zi Ling just now?

Her eyes shimmered with tears, her fingers fidgeted with the hem of her skirt, and she stole glances at Han Li, only to quickly lower her head when he noticed.

At the same time, a pair of purple eyes in the room looked at Han Li, their gazes calm.

Han Li subconsciously touched his nose when he saw the two women's expressions.

Weren't you two having a nice chat just now?

Why are you mentioning me again?

"That's right, I recently broke through to the Core Formation stage and have many important matters to attend to, as well as searching for spiritual materials, so I haven't had time to inform you, Junior Sister..."

Han Kai followed the excuse given to him.

"Spiritual materials?"

Stone Butterfly was puzzled.

"Oh right, I almost forgot. Since Brother Han needs to search for Five Elements spiritual objects, Sister Shi Die's father is a Nascent Soul cultivator. Perhaps he can be of some help."

Zi Ling said slowly.

"We're currently lacking spiritual items with the attributes of water, earth, and wood. Does Sister Shidie have any information on that?"

"Water, earth, wood?"

Shi Die pondered for a while, and then her eyes lit up as she spoke.

"I remember now."

"Several years ago, when my father was setting up the formation, he searched for water-attribute spiritual objects and obtained a piece of Ice Soul Nether Spring!"

"Unfortunately, for some reason, the formation was never set up in the end. It seems that the Ice Soul Nether Spring is still in Father's hands."

After thinking for a while, a look of surprise appeared on Shi Die's face.

"The Icy Soul Spring?"

"But what about the Ice Soul Nether Spring, which originates from an extremely yin place and is incredibly cold? For those who cultivate water-based techniques, it is a rare treasure, extremely precious."

Han Li rested his chin on his right hand and spoke slowly, based on the memories in his mind.

He had once read about it in an ancient book.

I just don't know how much there is, or if the quality is high enough. If there is enough, it can be used as the main material for the Water Spirit Sword!

"That's right, Senior Brother Han is indeed very knowledgeable."

"If my senior brother needs it, I can ask my father."

Shi Die smiled, her eyes gleaming as she looked at Han Li.

"Thank you, Junior Sister. It's not that I'm greedy for spiritual treasures, but this Ice Soul Cold Spring is especially important to me. If possible, I can exchange it for spirit stones."

Han Li said slowly.

"Senior brother, you're too kind. There's no need for such formalities between us."

"I heard that my father was very happy after you achieved the Core Formation and has been wanting to meet you ever since."

Shi Die stood up from her seat and walked to Han Li's side, her cheeks still flushed.

Han Li could smell the girl's faint body fragrance.

Perhaps she was standing too close, or perhaps there were other people present, so Shi Die took a half step back.

Zi Ling was naturally pleased to see that Han Li had acquired spiritual materials.

He quietly watched the two people not far away, lost in thought.

Inside the room, purple petals drifted down from the trees and landed on the flowing water.
