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

......

Inside the bamboo house courtyard, Han Li was holding a book on formations, reading it as he walked.

Han Li nodded frequently when he occasionally saw something ingenious.

Just then, as if sensing something, Han Li looked outside.

Qian Ku, an elder of the Qian Clan Chamber of Commerce, was already standing outside the house at some point.

As the second coin, Qianku fully inherited the shrewdness of the Qian family, and also possessed an added sense of composure.

"Elder Han, great news! Master Shi wants you to go to Rainbow Cloud Peak..."

"Rainbow Peak?"

"......"

......

A moment later, Han Li arrived at Rainbow Peak with doubts in his heart.

They stood respectfully outside the door.

"Han Li requests an audience with Senior Shi."

after awhile.

A calm voice echoed from within the cave:

"Come in."

.......

Upon entering the cave.

Han Li then saw a middle-aged man wearing a black robe and with a green beard, looking at him expressionlessly.

Not angry.

Beside him, Shi Die stood quietly. When she saw Han Li looking at her, she winked at him and unconsciously curled up her lips slightly.

Under the glow of the luminous pearl, her fair and delicate skin and golden patterns shone brightly.

"Junior Han Li greets Senior Shi."

It seems that the middle-aged man in front of me is Shi Kun, the island master of Red Moon Island.

Han Li dared not be negligent and immediately bowed in respect.

"You're Han Li? You have a good physique, but your looks are rather ordinary!"

Shi Kun glanced at Han Li and gave a nonchalant assessment of his appearance.

Upon hearing this, Han Li's lips twitched.

Shi Die covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

After being discovered by Han Li, she immediately lowered her hand and put it behind her back, but still had a smile on her face.

"snort!"

Seeing Shi Die's frequent flirtatious glances at Han Li, Shi Kun felt quite uncomfortable and let out a cold snort.

She could no longer resist the urge to test Han Li.

"I heard that you, with only Foundation Establishment cultivation, managed to escape from Core Formation cultivators."

"Let me see what you're really made of!"

As soon as Shi Kun finished speaking, a terrifying divine sense poured out and pressed down on Han Li.

Upon seeing this, Shi Die's smile vanished instantly, and she clenched her fists tightly.

Uh!

Han Li had no time to react. He first let out a muffled groan before barely managing to steady himself.

He hadn't expected that Master Shi would be so direct.

test?

Han Li glanced at the stone butterfly in front of him and had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Soon, Han Lidu unleashed his divine sense without reservation, going toe-to-toe with Shi Kun's divine sense.

"Hmm? Interesting, you blocked it so easily."

A glint flashed in Shi Kun's eyes.

Further increase the pressure of divine sense.

Peak of Foundation Building.

Early stage of Core Formation.

When the pressure of his divine sense reached the early stage of Core Formation, Shi Kun was slightly shocked to see that Han Li remained calm and composed.

Thus, he further enhanced his spiritual sense and reached the mid-stage of Core Formation.

Inside the cave, a gentle breeze seemed to appear, ruffling the hair of the three people.

At this moment, Han Li could no longer hold on. He frowned, his body began to bend, and he retreated repeatedly.

"father!"

Shi Die, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't hold back and quickly grabbed Shi Kun's sleeve.

Her knuckles were slightly white from clenching her fists so often.

Shi Kun realized he had gone too far and quickly withdrew his divine sense.

As the mountain of gravity receded, Han Li suddenly felt a lightness in his body.

"Haha, good lad."

Shi Kun seemed very happy, his previous serious expression completely gone.

He walked up to Han Li, looked him over, and patted him on the shoulder.

"At such a young age, to have reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, not only is his divine sense astonishing, but his personality is also so calm and composed. He must have had some extraordinary opportunities."

"Not bad, not bad."

Shi Kun nodded repeatedly, then changed the subject.

"My appearance is really plain. Although I'm passable, I'm far from looking like I was when I was young."

Han Li was about to bow and express his gratitude when he heard the second half of the sentence, and he swallowed it back.

Is this a dig at me or a compliment?

For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

"My appearance is, of course... not as handsome as yours, senior."

After holding it in for a long time, Han Li finally managed to utter this sentence.

Hearing Han Li's compliment, Shi Kun smiled and seemed quite pleased.

"Father, how could you say that about Senior Brother Han?"

Shi Die couldn't help but speak up.

"What's wrong? Am I wrong? Back in the day, I was a famous handsome man in the Chaotic Star Sea! Otherwise, how could I have given birth to such a beautiful girl like you!"

Shi Kun was very dissatisfied to see that Shi Die was siding with outsiders.

"By the way, Han boy, what kind of spiritual root do you have?"

Shi Kun walked to the stone table again and asked casually.

"To be honest, senior, my spiritual root is really too poor, it is..."

Han Li glanced at Shi Kun and Shi Die, paused, and then gave the result.

"A pseudo-spiritual root!"

"..."

"A pseudo-spiritual root!"

Upon hearing Han Li's answer, Shi Die gasped in surprise.

Shi Kun's movements stopped instantly, and the cave fell into silence.

It's not going to be another excuse that says there's no hope of reaching the Core Formation stage, is it?

Seeing their reactions, Han Li smiled bitterly.

"Pseudo-spiritual root, pseudo-spiritual root..."

Shi Kun muttered a couple of words, a complex look flashing in his eyes as he looked at Han Li.

Upon hearing this, Shi Die's bright eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head. Then, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Han Li with a resolute expression in her eyes.

After a long while, the scene Han Li had anticipated did not occur.

Shi Kun broke the silence first, his tone much calmer than before. He no longer mentioned the issue of spiritual roots and pointed to the jade box in front of him.

"Han Li, this item is very important to me. Thanks to you, I was able to bring it back safely, but you were seriously injured in the process. To express my gratitude, I can grant you a not-too-outrageous request."

Shi Kun's words were firm and resounding.

One of the conditions for a Nascent Soul cultivator!

That's a tremendous opportunity!

Han Li had long since forgotten about the matter of the spiritual root.

With the little green bottle in hand and the inheritance, why worry about not reaching the stage of Core Formation or Nascent Soul Formation?

As long as we are more careful in the future and avoid making so many mistakes like before.

As for what conditions to propose, Han Li didn't even need to think about it.

"Senior, Han Li desires a Core Formation Spiritual Object!"

Han Li answered without hesitation.

Right now, what's most important to Han Li is a spiritual object for forming his core.

Han Li's words were both unexpected and reasonable to Shi Kun.

"You successfully established your foundation with the aptitude of a pseudo-spiritual root, and at such a young age you have already reached the peak of the foundation establishment stage. You must have had some extraordinary opportunities."

"But Core Formation and Foundation Establishment are worlds apart. To form a Core with a pseudo-spiritual root, or even go further, requires immense perseverance and great fortune! It's incomparable to Foundation Establishment!"

"One wrong step, and you're plunged into an abyss; a hundred years of arduous cultivation can turn to dust in an instant!"

"Have you thought it through?"

Shi Kun's voice rang out slowly, his calm eyes looking at Han Li, trying to discern something.

In fact, he wanted Han Li to back down and stop pursuing that elusive and unattainable Dao.

but......

"I've made up my mind!"

Han Li looked directly into Shi Kun's eyes, without the slightest fear in them.

Cultivating immortality is going against the will of Heaven, so how can one talk about regret?

What does it matter if one dies and one's spiritual path dissipates? What does it matter if one turns into dust?

Having embarked on the path to immortality, one must depart from the mortal realm. How can one cower and hesitate, refusing to move forward?

Upon hearing Han Li's words, Shi Kun nodded slightly.

"Alright, in that case, you can take this token."

"If you are ready, you can go directly to the Star Palace. There is an old friend of mine there who will help you."

As Shi Kun finished speaking, a pure white token of unknown material appeared in his palm.

Immediately afterwards, a small booklet appeared in his hand.

"In addition, I heard from Shi Die that you have a talent for array formations. I have a book of array formation notes I took down when I was young, which I will also give to you."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Han Li bowed again.

Shi Kun looked at Han Li, seemingly recalling the scene from back then, and his tone became melancholy.

"Back then, I was only a three-elemental root cultivator. I went through many hardships and dangers before finally advancing to the Nascent Soul stage."

"I hope you're on a better track, kid. I hope the next time I hear from you, it'll be that you've reached the Core Formation stage, instead of that you've died and your cultivation has vanished."

After saying this, Shi Kun composed himself, waved his hand, and stopped looking at Han Li.

Han Li bowed again.

He glanced at Shi Die and quietly left the quiet room.

.......

Han Li just stepped out of the cave.

soon.

"Father, you can also teach Senior Brother Han more; he has been a great help to you."

Shi Die seemed to have shaken off the news of Han Li's pseudo-spiritual root. Her cheeks puffed out slightly as she looked at Shi Kun with a hint of reproach.

But Shi Kun did not answer.

He leaned on the table, his face turning somewhat pale.

Wow!

Unable to hold back any longer, Shi Kun spat out a mouthful of blood.

Upon seeing this, Shi Die panicked for a moment, stood there stunned for a while, and her body trembled slightly.

She quickly stepped forward to help Shi Kun up.

"Father! You're injured?"

"Don't scare me..."

Shi Die began to sob.

"Butterfly, don't mention this to anyone. Just say I'm in seclusion."

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Shi Kun's complexion improved slightly.

He stroked Shi Die's hair to comfort her.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the jade box on the table, and in a flash, disappeared into the cave.

"father!"

"Stone Butterfly shouted."

But Shi Kun had already disappeared.

After a long while, a voice faintly reached Shi Die's ears.

"Butterfly, focus on your cultivation for the next period of time. Your father won't be able to accompany you. If you really take a liking to that Han Li, then go for it!"

"After all, back then, your mother also..."

The sound gradually faded away, leaving only the figure of Shi Die standing in place.

He remained frozen for a long time.
