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

Three thousand spirit stones is more than twice as much as two Foundation Establishment Pills!

Yuan Yao gasped in surprise.

"Okay, no problem."

Han Li remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Three thousand spirit stones is a fair price, considering how rare the Xuan Shui Han Jing (Mysterious Water Cold Crystal) is.

Afterwards, he ordered several more spiritual items, mostly of the water element.

"How many spirit stones are there in total?"

"A total of 4,652 spirit stones. Since this is your first time here, let's round it down to 4,500 spirit stones."

Seeing that Han Li was very agreeable, the maid smiled, knowing that she would get a lot of commission from this deal.

Han Li handed over a storage bag.

"Does Yunmeng Pavilion possess any other similar Five Elements spiritual materials?"

Han Li scanned the area, but apart from the Xuan Shui Han Jing, he didn't find anything else he wanted.

"Senior, I am truly sorry. Profound Water Cold Crystal is rare to begin with, and Five Elements spiritual materials of the same level are also quite precious. Not to mention Yunmeng Pavilion, I'm afraid they are rare even on the entire Kui Xing Island."

The maid spoke softly and slowly, then changed the subject.

"Senior, you might as well come back in three months. At that time, the Yunmeng Pavilion Auction, which is held once every five years, will begin. According to past records, there have even been Core Formation stage treasures at the auction. You might as well come and take a look then."

"An auction? Okay, I understand."

Han Li nodded and put the items into his storage bag.

Seeing that Yuan Yao and Yan Li were quite interested in the items in Yunmeng Pavilion, Han Li took the two of them around for a while longer.

Half an hour later, they walked out of Yunmeng Pavilion.

It was nearly dusk.

Besides purchasing treasures at Yunmeng Pavilion, Han Li also bought a lot of things he needed for daily cultivation along the way, which saved him a lot of spirit stones.

Besides, with a beautiful woman by my side, it's all worth it.

But now it was time to part ways.

"Gentlemen, it's getting late. We'd appreciate your help today."

Han Li tossed out a small bag containing 20 low-grade spirit stones and two bottles of pills that could aid in Qi Refining stage cultivation, which floated quietly in front of the two of them.

"Thank you very much, Senior Han!"

Yanli glanced at the contents of her bag and, finding it far exceeded the agreed-upon reward, her face lit up with joy. After all, the annual rent for a cave dwelling on the island, intended for Foundation Establishment cultivators, was only twenty spirit stones.

"Senior Han, you've given too much. You promised ten spirit stones."

Unlike Yanli's beaming face, Yuan Yao was a little embarrassed and pushed the storage bag forward.

"It's alright. Meeting is fate. You two should cultivate diligently and not waste your time."

Han Li's expression was calm, his voice firm, and his tone carried an air of unyielding authority.

Helpless, Yuan Yao had no choice but to accept it. She looked up again to express her gratitude, but Han Li was nowhere to be seen.

"Sister, you often say that female cultivators should find a male cultivator to rely on. What do you think of this Senior Han?"

Yuan Yao's starry eyes sparkled.

"Not bad, but her appearance is a bit lacking. If her cultivation level were higher..."

Yanli was only halfway through her sentence when she realized something and looked at Yuan Yao beside her.

The bright moonlight shone on her, making the woman, whose skin was already as white as snow, even more charming and mysterious, and even more alluring.

"Could it be that Sister Yuan Yao has fallen in love?"

Yanli asked jokingly.

"Sister, don't you often say that?"

As if her secret had been exposed, Yuan Yao's cheeks flushed pink. The image of Han Li looking at her flashed through her mind, and she was indeed not like those lecherous playboys.

She always had a strange feeling about this senior Han.

Yanli looked at Yuan Yao, but she didn't know what she was thinking. Although this Senior Han was good, he only had the Foundation Establishment cultivation and was too plain-looking.

If you're going to look for someone, look for someone with Core Formation cultivation.

Perhaps out of consideration for Yuan Yao's feelings, Yanli did not voice her true thoughts.

......

After parting ways with the two women, Han Li did not linger in the bustling market.

Turning around, they headed north of Kui Xing Island. Soon after, they arrived at a mountain called Kui Xing Mountain. This was the location of a mid-to-high-level cave dwelling on Kui Xing Island. The cave dwellings here were much better equipped than those in the inn. In addition to the more reliable defensive formations, the most important point was that the cave dwellings here were equipped with earth fire chambers.

Han Li spent two hundred low-grade spirit stones to rent a cave dwelling suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators to cultivate in, complete with a fire chamber. Its defensive formations could prevent disturbances from late Foundation Establishment cultivators and even ordinary Core Formation cultivators, making it an ideal place for quiet cultivation.

However, if someone is wanted, the array masters on the island will break the array and will not allow them to hide comfortably.

The cave dwelling is located halfway up the mountain and is not very conspicuous, but it is enough for Han Li now.

After settling in, Han Li took out the Xuan Shui Han Jing he had just bought at Yunmeng Pavilion from his storage bag.

The reason he spent 3,000 spirit stones to buy it was because Han Li was preparing to refine the supernatural secret techniques in the "Great Five Elements Spirit Transformation Technique".

This technique comes with several supernatural abilities and secret arts, among which the most powerful is its innate killing ability—the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sword Formation!

A set of Yin-Yang Five Elements Swords consists of twelve swords, including the Five Elements Yin Sword, the Five Elements Yang Sword, and two additional swords, the Sun Sword and the Moon Sword, forming a sword formation.

If nine sets of flying swords are forged, the sword formation will be arranged according to the celestial constellations. The five elements will circulate within the formation, and yin and yang will merge, trapping and killing in one, evolving into countless forms. No matter what attribute the enemy's cultivation technique is, it will be controlled by the sword formation. Once formed, each flying sword can transform into countless yin and yang five elements sword lights, which will then generate billions of sword threads, trapping the enemy within and refining them!

Killing enemies of higher ranks is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

Under certain conditions, it can even transcend a whole new realm.

Of course, there are also disadvantages.

So rare!

Too expensive!

Indeed, Yin-Yang spiritual objects are extremely rare in the world, even treasures in the hands of Nascent Soul stage experts, let alone those of extreme Yin or Yang. Even a small piece of such an object can fetch an astronomical price, and their appearance always triggers a frenzy of bidding. For example, this Profound Water Cold Crystal, merely a Core Formation stage spiritual material, costs three thousand spirit stones for a palm-sized piece—truly a useless commodity!

Fortunately, Han Li was quite wealthy.

The little green bottle can help, providing some relief.

But who knows when he will be able to set up a complete sword formation?

Fortunately, there is a simplified version of the sword formation, which only requires five elemental swords, namely the Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation. Although it is simplified, its power is still extraordinary. The five elements generate each other, resulting in endless variations, far surpassing ordinary sword cultivators. It is virtually unmatched among those of the same level and can even barely overcome a minor level.

It can be refined using spiritual objects similar to Xuan Shui Han Jing.

This is also why Han Li directly obtained the Profound Water Cold Crystal in Yunmeng Pavilion.

However, his acting skills were still lacking. He shouldn't agree so readily next time. The principle of not flaunting wealth goes without saying.

In the time that followed, Han Li planned to first stabilize his cultivation.

After breaking through to the peak of Foundation Establishment in the forbidden land of inheritance, he hurriedly sat on the teleportation array and had not had time to stabilize his cultivation.

Han Li sat on the futon, the cave filled with spiritual energy, and quickly entered a state of cultivation.

......

One month later.

Han Li slowly opened his eyes.

He clenched his fist, feeling the surging magical power within his body, and exhaled a breath of stale air.

His cultivation level is now stable.

There really is only a thin line between me and the Core Formation stage!

Han Li could vaguely sense that if he were to form his core at this moment, his chances of success would be less than 10%.

The "Great Five Elements Spirit Transformation Technique" offers three opportunities to retrain one's cultivation, with each retraining increasing the chance of forming a core by 10%. Even so, his success rate is only 40%.

Too low!

Before forming the Golden Core, one must prepare sufficient spiritual materials for this purpose to ensure success.
