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

Half a day later.

A streak of cyan sword light appeared on the horizon.

Perhaps due to good luck, Han Li only flew at full speed for half a day before a huge sea ship appeared before him.

"Finally, I've spotted someone."

Han Li was overjoyed and quickly urged his flying sword to arrive above the giant ship.

At the bow, several sea beasts, each four or five zhang long, were pulling the ship forward.

Han Li scanned it with his divine sense and found that there was no spiritual energy fluctuation on its body. It was not a demonic beast, but just an ordinary sea beast.

"A sage! A sage!"

On the deck of the giant ship, dozens of boatmen saw Han Li, first babbled something in their tongues, and then knelt down and bowed their heads in worship.

"Who are you? Where are you headed?"

Han Li came to the deck.

However, the group of people in front of them just kept kowtowing and repeating "Immortal" over and over again.

Apart from that, Han Li could not understand most of what was being said.

"We can't even speak the language."

Han Li had never expected this situation.

What should we do?

Just then, a middle-aged man with a round, chubby body finally arrived at the second floor of the giant ship.

"Fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist."

The middle-aged man, sweating profusely, dragged his obese body to Han Li's side upon seeing him.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist!"

"I am Qian Facai of the Qian Clan Chamber of Commerce. May I ask your esteemed name? What brings you to intercept my Qian Clan's cargo ship?"

Qian Facai took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his face, and asked cautiously.

The person in front of me has the cultivation level of the late stage of Qi Refining, and I am definitely no match for him.

The only weapon on the ship capable of killing second-tier monsters had already been used on the way and was not yet fully charged.

It's best to avoid conflict.

He absolutely did not want to use the treasures in his storage bag, after all, they were the wealth he had painstakingly accumulated over the years.

Get rich?

That's a really good name.

"Can you understand me?"

Han Li was a little confused, as he couldn't understand a word the people on the deck had said.

I had assumed that the language spoken in the cultivation world here would be different from that in Tiannan.

If that's the case, then it's bad.

His status as an outsider will likely be exposed soon.

"Fellow Daoist, the refined language of us immortals is not understood by all mortals."

"Apart from ordinary people living in some large cities, ordinary people naturally have no chance to learn the language of cultivators."

Qian Facai wiped the sweat from his face again and glanced at Han Li.

Although this person had an ordinary appearance, he possessed an extraordinary demeanor. Judging from his expression and speech, he was likely a disciple of a certain family, out on a training expedition.

"I see."

"My name is Zhang Feng, and I greet Fellow Daoist Qian."

Upon hearing this, Han Li returned the greeting and carefully chose his words before replying.

"I've been living in seclusion in the mountains with my master, and this is my first time leaving the island. I've gotten lost and don't know where this boat is going. Could you give me a ride?"

He was actually quite surprised, but his expression remained unchanged.

The customs here seem different from those in Tiannan; the ships of the Immortal Cultivation Merchant Guild even employ mortals.

After all, in Tiannan, let alone employees, most ordinary people don't even know that cultivators exist.

They thought that cultivators only existed in legends.

Han Li scanned the area with his divine sense and found that Qian Facai's cultivation level was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, posing no threat.

Moreover, he used the Qi Concealment Technique, only revealing his late-stage Qi Refining cultivation level, so he thought it wouldn't attract too much attention.

Upon hearing Han Li's words, Qian Facai thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

His dark eyes darted around, as if he had thought of something.

"I see. This merchant ship is heading to Kui Xing Island, which is also the headquarters of the Qian Clan Chamber of Commerce. If Fellow Daoist Zhang is passing by, you might as well come in for a chat."

......

Inside the attic, due to the restrictions, walking on it felt like walking on flat ground.

Upon entering the attic.

Han Li caught a faint, lingering fragrance.

Several young women, around sixteen or seventeen years old, with lithe figures and beautiful faces, were waiting in the attic.

Han Li glanced at it without showing any emotion, then looked away.

I just sat down.

Qian Facai waved his hand, and several young girls walked up to Han Li and massaged his shoulders and back.

I don't know if it was intentional or deliberate.

As the girl behind him massaged his shoulders, she would intentionally or unintentionally rub against Han Li's body. Her gentle fingertips lightly pinched Han Li's shoulders, making him feel a sense of comfort.

"They really know how to enjoy life."

Han Li thought to himself.

Although he wasn't a seasoned womanizer with countless men under his belt, he had no choice but to go along with the host's wishes in order to avoid attracting attention.

After Han Li sat down, his left leg naturally tapped on the stool next to him.

The girl next to him immediately squatted down and began to massage his legs.

Upon seeing this scene, Qian Facai's eyes immediately flashed with understanding. If there was a weakness, then things would be easier to handle.

Those who cultivate immortality, if they have any preferences, will always find a way to overcome them. The only thing to fear is those who cultivate diligently but are like stones in a latrine.

However, Qian Facai did not directly state his purpose.

"Brother Zhang, are you aware that the inner and outer star seas have been rather unstable lately?"

He poured Han Li a cup of tea and said slowly, his tone shifting from "Fellow Daoist Zhang" to "Brother Zhang" in a casual manner.

"Oh? Is that so? How is it not peaceful?"

Han Li seemed intrigued but didn't pay much attention. He changed his title and asked.

Qian Facai did not answer immediately, but instead smiled and looked at Han Li.

Seeing Qian Facai's expression, Han Li immediately understood. He downed his tea in one gulp and said modestly:

"Please enlighten me, Brother Qian."

"Brother Zhang's cultivation is far superior to mine, but he has been cultivating diligently for many years and is unaware of the situation in the Chaotic Star Sea. The Star Palace has been ruling the Chaotic Star Sea for a long time, and many forces have long been dissatisfied. Now, the two saints have been in seclusion for several years, and there are even rumors of their deaths. The righteous and demonic paths, as well as the overseas demon races, have been making a lot of noise recently, and even going out to sea to do business has become much more difficult."

"In the past, with the dual saints as a deterrent, merchant ships could sail short distances without even needing cultivators to accompany them. But recently, undercurrents have been surging, and demonic beasts that rob cultivators have appeared frequently, so we have no choice but to do so."

"So, things haven't been peaceful lately!"

Qian Facai approached Han Li and whispered earnestly.

Although his cultivation level was low, he spoke eloquently about the secrets and gossip of the Chaotic Star Sea.

"Oh dear! What should we do?"

Han Li frowned slightly, seemingly very worried.

Whether intentionally or accidentally, he pulled the woman behind him into his arms, who gasped and blushed deeply.

The girl's young body was delicate and boneless, and it felt smooth and soft to the touch.

There was a layer of gauze on the outside, and if you got any closer, you could even see the color of the clothes underneath.

"This matter is both difficult and simple."

Qian Facai leaned back, and the chair he was sitting on let out a mournful groan as it could no longer bear the weight.

"As long as we find a powerful force to join us, not only will our identity problem be solved, but we'll also have a powerful backer, and future cultivation resources will be plentiful!"

Upon hearing this, Han Li immediately understood the purpose behind it, but pretended to be confused.

"Brother Qian, what advice do you have for me?"

Han Li seemed eager to learn, looking at Qian Facai.

"For example, my Qian Clan Chamber of Commerce is based on the Qian family. With a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator in the clan, we can protect ourselves without any worries."

"If Brother Zhang achieves Foundation Establishment in the future, he can exchange his contributions for Foundation Establishment Pills!"

At this point, Qian Facai excitedly stood up from his chair.

He pointed to the flags hanging on the attic wall.

The flag was exquisitely crafted, with a spiritual aura flowing across it, and in the center was a large character—money!

"But my strength is too weak, and I'm afraid I might jeopardize the important matter."

Han Li looked heartbroken and lamented to himself.

His movements became even more forceful. The woman in his arms had a spring-like look in her eyes, was breathing rapidly, and her eyes were brimming with tears, or something else entirely.

Upon hearing Han Li's words, Qian Facai stumbled.

I was just trying to show off, but I almost went too far.

"Brother Zhang, there's no need to underestimate yourself. Your abilities far surpass mine, and you're sure to join the Chamber of Commerce. Besides, with me vouching for you, there's nothing to worry about."

Qian Facai quickly tried to make up the difference, fearing that Han Li would leave.
