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

"Hehe, Brother Zhang, hurry up and bring out any treasures you have, or it'll be too late!"

Qian Facai got up from the ground, holding no grudge at all.

Although she despised Han Li in her heart, she had no other choice but to rely on him.

"Brother Qian, who told you I have a treasure?"

"Brother Zhang, are you playing a trick on me? We're in such a critical situation, and you're still joking!"

Qian Facai's face turned pale and then green.

But before he could finish speaking, he saw Han Li rise up on his sword, his aura constantly rising.

The Qi cultivation has been completed.

Early stage of foundation building.

Mid-stage of Foundation Building...

It kept rising until it reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage before stopping.

"Zhang has no treasures."

Now that things have come to this, Han Li no longer concealed his cultivation level and rode his sword into the air.

"He's just a mere Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator."

Han Li stood on the flying sword, and with a swipe of his hand across his storage bag, eight golden mother-and-child blades flashed with golden light and pulsed rhythmically around him.

"Ugh—!"

The leading second-tier flying fangfish was puzzled for a moment when it saw Han Li's cultivation level suddenly increase. Then it immediately realized what was happening and let out a long cry.

Its body surged with pale blue water-based magic, and its wings suddenly accelerated, becoming so fast that they turned into afterimages as it turned and ran away into the distance.

The remaining five Tier 1 Flying Fangfish followed closely behind.

"Now that things have come to this, how can we let you get away!"

"go!"

Han Li pointed forward repeatedly.

"call out!"

Eight golden beams locked onto the demonic beast and then shot away.

"Pfft!"

The Golden Cicada Mother-Child Blade quickly caught up with the group of flying fangfish. Several golden lines of light flashed, and the sound of the blade cutting through flesh rang out. The flying fangfish turned into a pile of minced meat.

"boom!"

The pieces of meat fell into the seawater, splashing up a meter high.

Han Li returned to the deck.

Qian Facai stared at all of this in disbelief.

"Brother Zhang, no, Senior Zhang, you...you're really a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

Qian Facai's voice trembled, and he could barely speak.

"That's right, Zhang broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage several years ago."

Han Li responded calmly.

"Haha... I knew it. The moment I saw Senior Zhang, I knew he was no ordinary person."

Qian Facai wore a fawning smile, but his heart was in turmoil. A Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator? Wasn't that the same level as his family's ancestor?

I was just showing off in front of him.

You have a good eye for people.

Han Li gave a casual reply.

"Someone, quickly prepare a clean room for Senior Han."

Qian Facai quickly accepted reality and gave the orders.

Although the second floor was mostly destroyed, the first floor was almost completely intact.

"Senior Han, should I invite a few people...?"

Qian Facai's face was all smiles, as if a wrinkle had come to life.

His meaning was self-evident.

Han Li looked at the damaged pavilion but did not answer immediately.

The attic on the second floor was mostly destroyed, and bright red blood dripped onto the ground from time to time from the collapsed walls, making a dripping sound.

"Why!"

Han Li sighed softly.

In fact, Han Li's seemingly irresistible behavior just now was merely a temporary measure. Even without the constraints of cultivation techniques, he would still not easily engage in relationships with female cultivators.

What about ordinary people? It only adds to their sadness.

For cultivators, most mortal women are merely dispensable.

In their youth, they might become concubines of a cultivator because of their beauty, enjoying a period of glory. However, after a few years, as they grow old and lose their beauty, and with no cultivation left, they usually meet a tragic end.

Even worse, some are bewitched by cultivators who practice demonic arts, becoming either furnaces or food offerings, never to be reborn.

Perhaps, dying like this is the best ending for them.

"No thanks, I'm not in the mood."

Han Li walked towards the quiet room.

"I'll do whatever Senior Zhang says."

"Senior Zhang, if you need anything, please let me know. I will be at your service anytime."

Qian Facai was all smiles, and his manners were impeccably respectful.

He was still plotting to make a name for himself, and wanted to recruit Han Li as a guest advisor, so that his status in the family would rise accordingly.

At this moment, Han Li withdrew from the quiet room.

"Money, get rich! I still prefer your rebellious self from just now."

"..."

......

Ten days later.

Kuixing Island, a port.

As one of the twenty-four outer star islands under the jurisdiction of the Star Palace, Kui Xing Island is quite prosperous, with many traders coming and going. In this port alone, there are as many as six or seven giant ships like the Qian Clan Merchant Guild.

"We've finally arrived."

Han Li looked around at everything before him; many things here were new and exciting to him.

The strangest of all was the situation where mortals and cultivators lived together.

This is unimaginable in the south.

After the attack at sea, Qian Facai told him a lot about the local customs and culture of the island.

What I see with my own eyes now is still refreshing.

"Senior Zhang, this way."

Qian Facai led Han Li to the city gate, to the registration office.

There were quite a few people queuing up ahead of us.

But Qian Facai directly pulled Han Li into a small door to the side.

"Deacon Li, this is a senior member of my Qian family who is cultivating outside. Please register him/her."

"Oh, who is it? It's Brother Qian. What's this? Brother Qian, you've returned from your voyage?"

Deacon Li looked at Qian Facai with a smile.

"Enough with the nonsense! This is a relative of the Qian family, a Foundation Establishment senior! Get to work now!"

Qian Facai slammed his hand on the table and tossed him a storage bag.

"It's always a pleasure to deal with Brother Qian."

A satisfied smile appeared on Deacon Li's face.

Registration for Han Li has begun.

It's not entirely his fault for accepting bribes. The Star Palace has been governing the Chaotic Star Sea for so many years; where would they find so many demonic cultivators?

He was just a rogue cultivator recruited by some families who didn't want to reveal his identity.

He'd seen this kind of thing countless times! If it weren't for the potential for some lucrative rewards, who would choose such a tedious task as registering their identity?

Just the other day, there was a cultivator with an extremely ugly appearance who seemed to have Foundation Establishment cultivation.

He was incredibly generous, giving out five hundred spirit stones—equivalent to several months' salary.

Han Li remained silent as he watched Qian Facai and Deacon Li make their transaction.

"Name?" Deacon Li asked.

"Han Li," Han Li replied calmly.

What? Upon hearing this name, Qian Facai's pupils dilated, his face filled with disbelief.

You're not called Zhang Feng? You're called Han Li?

Qian Facai felt that his sincerity had been deceived by a scumbag.

Soon, a white jade token was handed over, with Han Li's name on it and the logo of Kui Xing Island on the back.

Outside.

A bitter smile appeared on Qian Facai's face.

I never imagined that I, who thought myself so shrewd, would be kept in the dark for so long.

Could it be... that his cultivation level is still hidden? Is he a Core Formation cultivator? The more Qian Facai thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

"Senior Han, what about the guest retainer we discussed earlier?"

Qian Facai asked cautiously.

"I'll think about it some more."

Han Li, of course, had no idea that someone had imagined his image, and answered expressionlessly.

Han Li didn't explain much to Qian Facai; their relationship was merely a business transaction, and they didn't have a deep connection.

To put it bluntly, it was just that I saved him at sea once.

He still owes himself.

"If you have any needs, please feel free to come to my Qian Clan Chamber of Commerce. You can get a 10% discount on everything you buy at the Chamber, not the 20% discount!"

......

After saying goodbye to Qian Facai.

Han Li strolled around the city for a while, and it was evening by then.

He did not rush to gather information about the surrounding sea area.

Han Li found a relatively quiet inn and rented a meditation room that Foundation Establishment cultivators could use for cultivation. The meditation room had its own magic array, so he didn't have to worry about being disturbed by others.

Entering the room, activating the magic array, Han Li lay down on the bed.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Li didn't put his divine sense into the storage bag, but instead took stock of his current wealth.

From the land of inheritance, he obtained numerous treasures. He possessed five or six hundred thousand spirit stones alone, not including mid-grade and high-grade spirit stones. In addition, he acquired countless magical artifacts, elixirs, and medicinal herbs.

During the teleportation, most of the spirit stones were used, and now only more than 20,000 low-grade spirit stones and a few mid-grade and high-grade spirit stones remain.

Moreover, due to the passage of time, more than half of the spirit stones and magical artifacts have long lost their spiritual power and become a pile of scrap metal.

The elixirs had lost all their medicinal properties. A few magical artifacts remained, but they were badly damaged.

"But no matter how many treasures are there, none can compare to this 'Great Five Elements Spirit Transformation Technique'!"

A white jade slip appeared in Han Li's hand, emitting a faint glow in the night.

Cultivation is slow for cultivators with five spiritual roots, but the "Great Five Elements Spirit Transformation Technique" can seize the creation of heaven and earth and allow cultivators to transform their spirits before advancing to a higher realm!

The so-called "spiritual transformation" is simply dispersing one's cultivation and starting anew!

After each rebuilding, their magical power will be several times more refined than that of cultivators of the same level! At the peak of Foundation Establishment, they can contend with cultivators in the early stage of Core Formation!

In addition, each Spirit Transformation increases the chance of advancing by 10%!

Unfortunately, each realm can only be transformed into a spirit a maximum of three times.

"As expected, even a powerful technique like the Great Five Elements Spirit Transformation Technique cannot escape the limitations of the rules; one still needs to find a spiritual object for Core Formation."

"Let's talk about it later."

Han Li put away the jade slip, lay down on the bed, and closed his eyes.

He is not going to practice tonight.

More than a decade has passed; it's time to relax.

Han Li quickly fell asleep.

......

at the same time.

In the distance, on the deserted island from which Han Li had come.

A strange figure suddenly appeared.

"Hehehehehe..."

The figure inspected the deserted island, seemingly discovering something extraordinary, and suddenly burst into laughter, causing the surrounding air to vibrate.

It was clearly the aura of someone at the Core Formation stage.

"Just as I expected! Just as I expected!"

"There are other traditions left in the world!"

"Don't rush, be good."

"I will definitely find you."

After saying that, his figure transformed into a five-colored streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

......
