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

"Twenty-seven plants!"

Li Huayuan looked somewhat incredulous and checked again.

But the result remained unchanged.

"Twenty-seven plants, hahahahahahaha..."

Li Huayuan retrieved the iron essence from his hand and laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

Meanwhile, Fu Yunzi's face turned ashen.

It took Li Huayuan quite a while to recover.

"I haven't felt this clear-headed in a long time; it's so refreshing!"

"What's your name?"

Li Huayuan pointed to Senior Brother Zhang, whose face was covered with a full beard, and asked.

"Reporting to Ancestor Li, your disciple Zhang Feng."

Zhang Feng bowed respectfully.

"How did you manage to gather so many herbs?"

"This disciple originally intended to... but accidentally wandered into a medicinal garden, and that's how I managed to gather these spiritual herbs."

Zhang Feng answered truthfully, his expression a mixture of surprise and joy. He was delighted because the ancestor was paying attention to him, but worried because he feared being pressed about the location of the spiritual medicine.

Dozens of medicinal herbs lay quietly in his storage bag.

If I get caught, I'll be severely punished, but I won't escape unscathed.

Li Huayuan sized up Zhang Feng and said:

"Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng was overjoyed. Not only was he not asked to check his storage bag, but he was also accepted as a disciple of the Patriarch.

After all, there are hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the valley, but only a handful of Core Formation cultivators.

Being able to become a disciple of a Core Formation cultivator is considered to have a powerful backer, unlike ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Even if other Core Formation cultivators wanted to bully him, they would have to think twice.

"This disciple is willing to pay respects to Master."

Zhang Feng immediately bowed.

Before his partner ran away, he was completely ignorant of human relationships and social customs. Only after his partner left did he realize how important power was.

Having endured many painful years, his mind has become much more active.

"Okay, okay!"

Li Huayuan said "good" three times in a row.

"In that case, I will accept you as my nominal disciple. Once you successfully establish your foundation, I will accept you as a formal disciple!"

"Thank you, Master."

After Zhang Feng stood up, he bowed again and stood behind Li Huayuan.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Li, on the arrival of your beloved disciple."

At this moment, Fuyunzi, whose face had been ashen, finally regained his composure.

"Congratulations are certainly in order."

"However, Fellow Daoist Fuyunzi, you don't think that a few words of flattery will exempt you from handing over anything, do you?"

Li Huayuan smiled, his eyes narrowed, but then he changed the subject.

"A bet's a bet, hurry up! Give me the Iron Wire Dragon's inner core!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Yunzi's expression stiffened.

After a moment, he reluctantly took out the large white pill with lines on it and handed it over.

Li Huayuan reached out to take it, but the old Taoist priest Fuyun had no intention of letting go.

After holding on for a long time, they still wouldn't let go of Da Dan.

"Fellow Daoist Fuyun, are you planning to break your promise?"

Li Huayuan's expression turned cold as he spoke.

"How is that possible?"

My hand just went numb, my hand went numb.

Fu Yunzi finally let go and chuckled sheepishly.

"That was a fifth-tier demon beast core that I hunted with tremendous effort; you'd better make good use of it!"

"Alright, you old man, stop nagging. I didn't ramble on like this when I was transferring the iron essence to you."

After obtaining the inner core of the Iron Wire Dragon, Li Huayuan glanced at Fuyunzi and casually tossed it to the Silver Armored Horned Python beside him.

The silver-armored horned python opened its blood-red maw and swallowed the giant pill.

After swallowing the inner core, the silver-armored horned python was very satisfied and rubbed its huge head against Li Huayuan.

"Oh dear! What a waste! We should have used several auxiliary medicines to condense a few pills, only then could we have maximized the value of this inner core!"

Seeing the scene before him, Fu Yunzi was deeply saddened and beat his chest in despair.

"You old Taoist priest, why are you being so long-winded today?"

"My silver-armored horned python is different from human cultivators. It can absorb all the medicinal power once swallowed, so you don't need to worry about it."

Li Huayuan pursed his lips, looking very impatient.

"Incomprehensible, utterly incomprehensible!"

"Let's go!"

Seeing that the barrier in front of him had completely closed, Fu Yunzi knew that if he stayed any longer, he would lose face completely.

With a wave of his hand, a white ribbon radiating precious light appeared, quickly growing to a size of tens of feet.

Fu Yunzi, along with the disciples of Qingxu Sect, leaped onto the white silk and left without looking back.

At this moment, the restrictions on the Crimson Forbidden Land had been closed, and no more disciples came out.

Chen Qiaotian kept his eyes fixed on the exit, but Han Li never appeared again.

"How am I supposed to explain this to my younger sister when I get back?"

A bitter smile appeared on Chen Qiaotian's lips. Before coming here, he had promised his little sister that he would take care of Han Li in the forbidden area.

He did indeed go looking for Han Li for a while, and even met that hot-bodied junior sister in yellow, but according to what he had heard along the way...

Han Li seemed to be slaughtering everyone in the Blood Forbidden Land, and didn't need my help at all.

He was pleased with his younger sister's good taste at the time.

How could he have died so easily?

But it is true.

......

Two days later, in Yellow Maple Valley.

"Impossible! How could Han Li be dead!"

"Big brother, you must be lying to me, right?"

Before Chen Qiaotian stood a beautiful, slender woman in a blue dress, her face pale. She gripped Chen Qiaotian's arm tightly.

It was Chen Qiaoqian.

She had been eagerly awaiting Han Li's appearance, but instead, she was met with a bolt from the blue.

Chen Qiaotian felt a pang of pity, but still nodded gently.

In an instant, tears welled up in Chen Qiaoqian's eyes and dripped onto the ground with a barely perceptible sound.

She clutched her chest, feeling a piercing pain.

It felt as if something inside me had shattered.

"Little sister, this matter is already settled, you should try to accept it."

Chen Qiaotian held his sister's hand and gently patted her back.

"You're all lying to me..."

"You promised you'd come back alive, you liar...liar..."

Chen Qiaoqian's voice grew weaker and weaker as she spoke, and she lost her balance and fainted in Chen Qiaotian's arms.

"Call a doctor immediately!"

Chen Qiaotian shouted to the servants behind him.

......

In the secret realm of inheritance.

Han Li, sitting on the futon, seemed to sense something, and his heart suddenly clenched.

What's wrong with me?

Han Li examined the area thoroughly but ultimately found nothing.

"It might be a side effect of dissipating one's internal energy."

"continue"

Han Li closed his eyes again.

......

Inside Chen Qiaoqian's boudoir.

"Dr. Li, how is my sister?"

Chen Qiaotian looked anxious.

"Your heart is damaged, but it's not life-threatening yet. Has your sister recently experienced any trauma?"

"It's best to refrain from cultivation for now and rest for a while longer."

Chen Qiaoqian has indeed suffered a lot of shock these days. First, the Daoist partner arranged by her family had ulterior motives towards her.

Those who shared a deep connection later also perished in the Bloodstained Forbidden Land.

How could such intense activity not damage the heart and blood vessels?

"Why---"

Chen Qiaotian sighed.

"Take care, Dr. Li."

......

Several days later, at a mountain peak.

A beautiful figure stood quietly on the mountaintop, gazing into the distance.

It was Chen Qiaoqian.

She was still dressed in green, but her demeanor was no longer as gentle as before. Now she wore light makeup and her face was as cold as ice, giving off an unapproachable air.

However, given her already stunning beauty, this melancholic and unapproachable aura only made her even more captivating and alluring.

Chen Qiaoqian's aloofness made the several "young men" who were already quite interested in her even more infatuated with her, and they desperately wanted to conquer this ice queen.

"Junior Sister Chen, the spring scenery is beautiful lately, and Qingfeng Mountain is quite scenic. Why don't we go for a stroll and relax together?"

The one who arrived was a senior brother who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage. He was only in his thirties, which was just the beginning for someone who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage with a lifespan of two hundred and fifty years.

His smile was gentle, and many young female disciples in the valley were captivated by him.

But he fell in love with Chen Qiaoqian, and even lowered himself to call her his junior sister.

"roll!"
