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

.......

"Father, what are you doing here?"

Shi Die's face lit up with surprise, and she immediately threw herself into Shi Kun's arms.

"My daughter still thinks her father is on Red Moon Island."

Shi Kun gently patted his daughter's back.

"My good daughter."

"Father happened to have some business to attend to these past two days, so he came to Inner Star Sea."

Han Li looked at the father and daughter in front of him, a smile appearing on his lips.

"Han Li greets Uncle Li, Uncle Shi... Uncle Shi."

Han Li bowed and clasped his hands in a salute to Shi Kun and Li Huowang.

The way Shi Kun was addressed changed from "Master Shi" to "Uncle Shi".

Nonsense! The resources available when I reached the Core Formation stage were allocated by them.

If we don't call him Uncle Shi, what should we call him?

"And this one..."

Then, Han Li looked at the beautiful female cultivator sitting next to Li Huowang and for a moment didn't know how to address her.

According to the conventions of the cultivation world, Han Li should address Liu Qianyun as Fellow Daoist.

However, the beautiful Island Master Liu in front of them seemed to have an unusual relationship with Li Huowang.

If we still call you "fellow Daoist," it seems a bit too... inappropriate.

"This is your Aunt Liu."

Seeing Han Li's slightly troubled expression, Li Huowang spoke up to remind him.

"I've met Aunt Liu."

Han Li quickly bowed to Liu Qianyun.

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Liu Qianyun's eyes.

Although he and Li Huowang had a close relationship in the past, Liu Qianyun did not accompany Li Huowang when he was still of humble origin.

The two met when they were in the Core Formation stage. Although there was a trace of affection in their hearts, it was not entirely pure.

Now that Han Li is calling her Aunt Liu, it's clear that he has completely accepted her.

"Why call me Aunt Liu? You're making me sound old."

Although Liu Qianyun was delighted, her tone carried a hint of coquettishness.

Her smile was captivating and enchanting.

"Hahaha, Brother Shi, what did I tell you? Han will definitely find this place within a quarter of an hour!"

"How about that? My taste is way better than yours."

At this moment, Li Huowang was in a great mood. He looked at Shi Kun, laughed heartily, and his face was full of pride.

Upon hearing this, Shi Kun was not angry and turned to look at Han Li.

"Stable aura, solid cultivation."

"Indeed, I originally thought that if you wanted to form your core, you would definitely have to go through some twists and turns."

"I never expected that you would succeed on your first try. You truly have a deep affinity with the Dao."

Shi Kun looked Han Li up and down, then praised him generously.

Hearing Shi Kun praise Han Li, Shi Die's eyes were full of smiles, as if she herself were the one being praised.

"Just lucky."

"It's all thanks to Uncle Shi and Uncle Li's help; otherwise, Han Li would probably still be worrying about finding a spiritual object for Core Formation and wouldn't be able to form his Core so quickly."

Han Li modestly declined to mention that he had already obtained a Dust-Reducing Pill.

Upon hearing Han Li's words, Shi Kun and Li Huowang exchanged a glance, their faces showing approval.

Although Han Li's cultivation level is far inferior to theirs, he has advanced to the Core Formation stage at such a young age and is able to advance and retreat with composure, without being arrogant or impatient.

It's really rare.

Looking at Han Li in front of him, Shi Kun felt increasingly satisfied.

"By the way, why have you two come here?"

Shi Kun asked in confusion.

After all, Shi Die had only been in Tianxing City for a short time.

Upon hearing this, Shi Die looked slightly embarrassed.

She originally planned to wait until she reached Red Moon Island before asking Shi Kun for the Ice Soul Spring.

Unexpectedly, Shi Kun came directly to Dongxing Island, catching Shi Die completely off guard.

"I am currently refining a magical artifact and need some of the five elements' spiritual materials, but despite my repeated attempts to purchase them, I have not been able to find any that I am satisfied with."

"I heard from Junior Sister Shi Die that Uncle Shi has a pool of Ice Soul Spring, which is exactly what I need, so I dared to ask the senior for it."

Seeing that Shi Die was a little embarrassed, Han Li didn't want to make things difficult for her and spoke directly.

Ice Soul Spring?

Upon hearing Han Li's words, Shi Kun's lips twitched, and he looked at Shi Die with a hint of helplessness.

Why does my daughter tell everyone everything?

Although the Ice Soul Spring is currently useless to him, it is an extraordinary treasure!

The thought of all the spiritual materials he had sacrificed to obtain the Ice Soul Spring made Shi Kun feel a pang of heartache.

However, it couldn't be used for formation!

In the end, it can only be left to gather dust in the storage bag.

"Dad, please say yes to Senior Brother Han!"

Seeing that Shi Kun didn't speak, Shi Die shook his arm and said coquettishly.

"After Senior Brother Han achieved Core Formation, he cultivated even harder than before, I swear."

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, Shi Kun was able to successfully overcome the tribulation of inner demons, so his willpower was naturally extremely firm.

But every time he sees his daughter acting cute, his heart softens.

With this thought in mind, Shi Kun reached into his storage pouch at his waist, and a pale yellow jade box appeared out of thin air in his hand.

The moment the pale yellow jade box appeared, a strange chill emanated from it, and pale blue water droplets quickly condensed in the surrounding air, eventually turning into tiny blue ice crystals.

Inside the jade box lies the Ice Soul Spring!

Looking at the jade box, Shi Kun felt quite reluctant to part with it.

But he still let go, allowing the jade box to float towards Han Li.

Oh well, it's just a magical object.

Why did he only have this one daughter in all these centuries?

As for Han Li's suggestion of an exchange, he didn't take it to heart at all.

It's nothing more than some ordinary spirit stones and materials.

At his level of cultivation, ordinary methods would have long been ineffective.

What treasures could a cultivator who has just formed his core possibly possess?!

The pale yellow jade box slowly floated towards Han Li.

Han Li took the jade box, and a cold sensation came over him. A strange chill began to invade his skin.

It wasn't cold at first, and Han Li didn't use his magic to resist it, but after only a few breaths, he felt that his blood flow seemed to have slowed down.

Seeing this, Han Li quickly took out a cyan talisman and stuck it on the jade box.

A moment later, the chill completely disappeared.

Han Li then put it into his storage bag.

Although the quantity of Ice Soul Spring is not large, its quality is extremely high. It is likely that with the addition of some other water-type spiritual materials, it would be enough to forge a Water Spirit Sword.

"Uncle Shi, thank you for your generosity."

"This elixir is what I'm using to exchange for it."

A spiritual herb appeared out of thin air in Han Li's hand. Its leaves were emerald green and vibrant, and its roots were pale yellow. As soon as the herb appeared, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out.

"You can take the elixir back."

"Medicinal herbs that are three or four hundred years old are no longer effective for me; only those that are over eight hundred years old..."

Seeing Han Li take out the spiritual medicine, Shi Kun subconsciously waved his hand.

What kind of heaven-defying spiritual medicine could a mere early-stage Core Formation cultivator like you possibly produce?

Before Shi Kun could finish speaking, a faint medicinal fragrance entered his nostrils. He quickly looked at the spiritual herb in Han Li's hand, his eyes widening in surprise.

"This...this is..."

With a wave of his hand, Shi Kun sent the emerald green herb flying into his palm.

He examined it closely. Although he was not an expert in alchemy, he had some knowledge of pharmacology after hundreds of years of cultivation.

"A thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum!!"

Before Shi Kun could even speak, Li Huowang exclaimed in surprise.

The people in the courtyard all looked shocked.

In the chaotic Star Sea, even seven- or eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs are rare, and this one before us is actually...

A miraculous medicine that has lasted for millennia!

"Young man Han, do you still have any thousand-year-old elixirs?!"

Li Huowang stared intently at Han Li, his gaze seemingly capable of devouring him.

"Uncle Li, thousand-year-old medicinal herbs are extremely rare; they're not so easy to come by."

"This thousand-year-old Solomon's Seal was only something Han Li happened to find on an island in the outer sea; there is unlikely to be another one like it."

Han Li didn't hesitate much, a wry smile appearing on his lips as he answered.

His words were very sincere.

Seeing that Han Li's words did not seem fake, Li Huowang gradually calmed down.

That's true; a thousand-year-old elixir is something you can only come across by chance.

If the Chaotic Star Sea had so many thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, they would have been discovered long ago. How could Han Li have gotten his hands on them?

But then, Li Huowang set his sights on Shi Kun, who was standing to the side.

Isn't there one right here?!

"Hehe, Brother Shi, Han doesn't have it, but you do!"

Li Huowang chuckled, his eyes fixed on Shi Kun.

"Get lost! This was given to me by Han Li. If you want it, go find it yourself!"

Shi Kun noticed that something was wrong with Li Huowang and immediately put the thousand-year-old Huangjingzhi into his storage bag, resolutely refusing to accept it.

"Brother Shi, give me this thousand-year-old Huangjingzhi mushroom, and you can choose any of my many treasures, except for my natal magic weapon!"

Seeing that Shi Kun refused, Li Huowang waved his hand and said domineeringly.

"No means no!"

Shi Kun turned away and stopped looking at Li Huowang.

"Half a plant! I only need half a plant! Is that alright?"

Li Huowang settled for second best.

"Not at all, Brother Li, you should just give up on that idea."

Shi Kun's face was cold and ruthless, showing no mercy whatsoever.

"Shi Kun, everyone who sees this gets a share! Don't go too far!"

"I won't give it to you, what can you do about it!"

"I think you're itching for a beating. Want to test the sharpness of my Flame-Extinguishing Blade?!"

When Li Huowang saw that Shi Kun still refused, the smile on his face vanished instantly.

In his hand, a seemingly ordinary, dark longsword appeared out of nowhere, with an ancient appearance and a dark red pattern.

The moment it appeared, a trace of Nascent Soul stage aura suddenly erupted.

The faces of the people around him instantly turned pale.

"You? You can't even defeat a transformed demon beast, so what do you expect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of blue light appeared around Shi Kun, and suddenly array patterns appeared all over him.

The two Nascent Soul stage auras clashed once again in the courtyard.

In an instant, the grass and trees trembled, and the sky and earth changed color.

Seeing that Shi Die's body was trembling slightly, Han Li came to Shi Die's side, and a jade-white protective shield lit up, protecting her behind him.

Behind him, the girl's hand reached out and gently, warmly and softly took his.

Han Li did not refuse.

"Senior Brother Han, Father and the others..."

Stone Butterfly's voice rang in my ears.

"It's alright, Uncle Shi and Uncle Li are probably just testing each other; they won't really fight."

Ahead, two Nascent Soul stage experts were locked in a tense standoff, seemingly about to engage in combat.

Then, in the next moment...

"Hahahaha, Brother Li's Flame-Slaying Blade is truly incredibly powerful. I, Shi, have certainly had my eyes opened today!"

Shi Kun laughed loudly, and his aura vanished instantly.

"Brother Shi's array formations have become increasingly refined; he truly deserves to be called a renowned master of array formations!"

Li Huowang walked forward with a big smile on his face.

Then, he casually set up a soundproof barrier, and the two Nascent Soul cultivators chatted back and forth inside the barrier.

Judging from their animated gestures, they seemed to be arguing intensely.

A moment later, the two seemed to have reached some kind of agreement, and both showed satisfied expressions on their faces.

With a wave of his hand, Shi Kun dispelled the soundproof barrier.

"Han Li, you've done me a huge favor this time."

Shi Kun looked at Han Li and liked him more and more.

Although this young man has an ordinary appearance, he has already formed his core, has a solid foundation, and a firm Dao heart. He is indeed a good match for her.

If Han Li could get together with his daughter, that would be a wonderful thing.

In Shi Kun's heart, there was no longer any distance between him and Han Li.

Of course, at this time, Shi Kun did not know that Han Li already had a Daoist partner.

Otherwise, as the only daughter of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he would certainly not allow his daughter to share a husband with another man.

"Han Li, how old are you this year?"

Shi Kun asked.

"I joined the cultivation world relatively late, and I am now 130 years old."

Han Li pondered for a moment before replying.

He was actually only in his nineties, but he did not say so.

Achieving the Core Formation at ninety years old could perhaps be explained by exceptional talent.

But Shi Kun knew that he was a pseudo-spiritual root cultivator.

With a pseudo-spiritual root, he formed his core at the age of ninety.

That would be too outrageous!

"Not bad, it seems you have some talent for cultivation. You still need to work hard in your cultivation in the future and not slack off."

Upon hearing this, Shi Kun nodded slightly and said.

He reached the Core Formation stage at 130 years old, and with his own help, he might have the opportunity to reach the Nascent Soul stage in the future.

Shi Kun felt relieved after entrusting the stone butterfly to Han Li.

"If you have any questions about your cultivation, or if you have any needs, you can come to Red Moon Island to find me."

Shi Kun added a sentence.

"Thank you, Uncle Shi."

Han Li nodded.

The relationship between the group has now become even closer than before.

Upon hearing this, Li Huowang's eyes flickered slightly, and a plan formed in his mind.

"Young man Han, Red Moon Island is too far away. If you encounter any difficulties, just go to your Uncle Li. I happen to have a few unmarried juniors in my family, so I can introduce them to you."

"Those women are all stunningly beautiful; you'd better seize the opportunity."

Li Huowang winked at Han Li, revealing a knowing smile that all men would understand.

"Li Huowang, you!"

Shi Kun immediately became anxious and glared at Li Huowang.

"Oh! You're getting impatient already? This Han kid isn't even married to your Shi Die yet, do you understand what fair competition is?!"

Li Huowang glanced at Shi Kun, his face completely unconcerned, showing no trace of the demeanor of the Sixth Elder of the Star Palace.

"This junior would also like to ask the two seniors if they have any other elemental spiritual items? Preferably those with the attributes of water, earth, and wood, but the other two are also acceptable. This junior is willing to exchange them for spirit stones."

Han Li's words interrupted the two of them.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Huowang and Shi Kun stopped arguing.

"Five Elements Spiritual Objects?"

Shi Kun pondered for a moment, his brow furrowing slightly.

"Ordinary spiritual objects, even if some are rare, can still be found by chance, but pure five-element spiritual objects are something that can only be encountered by chance. Whether you can encounter one depends on fate."

"Currently, I do not possess any of the Five Elements spiritual items."

Shi Kun said slowly.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary spiritual objects and materials containing the power of the five elements are sufficient, and there is no need to be too demanding.

Unless, of course, you need to craft some special treasures!
