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

Chapter 82 Secrets

.......

"My name is Han Li. May I ask if you are Fellow Daoist Jin Qing in person?"

Han Li asked with a smile.

"Haha, it is indeed I, Jin! Fellow Daoist, please have a seat!"

Jin Qing saw Han Li, laughed loudly, and quickly asked Han Li to sit down.

His words were warm and enthusiastic, yet tactful.

A moment later, the two sat down.

With a light tap of her finger, Jin Qing conjured a few pale green leaves that floated into two exquisite teacups on the stone table.

Although the teacup was made with only the lowest grade of spiritual materials, the carving was exceptionally skillful, clearly indicating that considerable effort had been put into it.

Immediately afterwards, the teapot flew into the air, boiling water was poured in, and in an instant, a unique aroma appeared.

"Fellow Daoist Han, please."

Han Li took the teacup, feeling the warmth on his fingertips, and without much hesitation, took a small sip.

Instantly, a unique fragrance filled his mouth, and his internal magical power began to circulate unconsciously.

A few breaths later, the magical power within his body even increased slightly.

"Excellent tea!"

Han Li sincerely praised him.

"Haha, this tea is made from the tender leaves of the Spirit-Nourishing Tea Tree, which can enhance the condensation of magical power. If Fellow Daoist Han likes it, I have half an ounce left, so I'll give it to you."

"Consider this a congratulatory gift for your advancement to Core Formation."

Upon hearing this, Jin Qing laughed heartily, took out a small wooden box, which was filled with spiritual energy, and a faint wisp of tea wafted from it.

Spirit Tree!

Han Li had also heard that it was a kind of innate spiritual root that could increase the cultivation speed of cultivators.

If all the beds and furnishings in the entire cave were made of this wood, it would be of great benefit even to those in the Nascent Soul stage.

But this is just wishful thinking. Innate spiritual roots are rare, and over the past tens of thousands of years, human cultivators have cut down trees extensively, so even if they exist, there probably aren't that many.

"Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Jin."

Han Li did not hesitate as before, but accepted it directly. With a flash of light, it was put into his storage bag.

Now that the Core Formation is complete, one should naturally act with some decorum!

It's impossible that this Jin Qing is actually an enemy's spy, having endured for years just to draw a secret tracking spell on the tea box so that he could ambush and kill Han Li when he goes out!

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Seeing Han Li accept the gift, Jin Qing's smile grew even wider.

"Fellow Daoist's extraordinary Core Formation phenomenon that day truly puts us to shame. Such a magnificent Core Formation phenomenon has not been seen for hundreds of years. The cloud formation I attracted when I formed my Core that day was only about thirty feet long. The difference is like heaven and earth!"

"Fellow Daoist Han is destined for greatness, like a dragon emerging from the depths of the sea; the path to the Great Dao is within reach!"

Jin Qing praised without any attempt to hide her admiration.

"It was just a stroke of luck. Recalling what happened that day, Han is still terrified."

Upon hearing this, Han Li smiled slightly, concealing part of the truth.

But Jin Qing had no doubts at all after hearing this, and instead nodded repeatedly.

Because what Han Li said was common sense.

The phenomenon of Core Formation represents a cultivator's future potential, but it is also closely related to the difficulty of Core Formation!

The more magnificent and vast the phenomenon, the greater the difficulty.

This is also why it takes him longer to form his core than most people.

"In any case, Brother Han has now successfully formed his core, adding five hundred years to his lifespan. From now on, in this vast Chaotic Star Sea, where can't he go?"

Jin Qing seemed to understand Han Li's pain and offered words of comfort.

The address quickly changed from Fellow Daoist Han to Brother Han.

Han Li smiled slightly and did not refute this.

"Han Li has only recently formed his core and knows very little about many things. I hope Brother Jin will take good care of him in the future."

Han Li said modestly again.

"Of course, of course."

"For many years, I have been troubled by the lack of like-minded people to exchange skills with, which has been very frustrating. With Fellow Daoist Han around, things will surely become much more interesting."

Jin Qing looked at Han Li with great enthusiasm.

"Brother Han, if you ever need my help in the future, just let me know."

Upon hearing this, Han Li smiled slightly and took another sip of tea.

The path of spiritual practice involves more than just arduous training.

This means dealing with various forces.

Jin Qing in front of him seemed to be quite good at making friends, and that spending more time with Jin Qing would be beneficial to his cultivation.

After that, the two finished their small talk.

Han Li shared some of his insights on Core Formation, while Jin Qing introduced the cultivation process after Core Formation and some knowledge about the Chaotic Star Sea.

The two became increasingly congenial during their conversation.

Han Li then learned that Jin Qing was actually the Grand Elder of the Star Palace and a descendant of Jin Kui. Although he was not a direct descendant, he had been able to cultivate to the Core Formation stage, which meant that he had probably already come into Jin Kui's sight.

Of course, this includes some esoteric knowledge.

The Heavenly Technique.

And, gossip and scandals.

It turns out that Li Huowang, the sixth elder of the Star Palace, is actually afraid of his wife!

The Heavenly Immortal Pavilion's Cold Moon Fairy appears aloof, but in reality, she moves among several high-level cultivators. As long as the price is high enough, one can get close to her!

Even a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator had a particular fondness for the buttocks of a second-tier Earth Spirit Pig?!

Of course, Jin Qing was referring to grilled fat buttocks...

......

Soon after, their conversation went further and further astray.

Han Li forcibly pulled back on track

He asked in a flat tone and without expression:

"Brother Jin, how much do you know about the Qingyang Sect of the Demonic Path?"

Jin Qing, having interacted with many people and made many acquaintances, keenly noticed that Han Li's expression seemed a little off, but still introduced him directly:

"If Brother Han wants to know the secrets of the Qingyang Sect, then I have no idea."

"But under normal circumstances, I do know a thing or two."

"Speaking of the Azure Sun Sect, it is one of the major sects of the demonic path. The sect leader, the Three Yang Old Demon, is surnamed Chu, but his exact name is unknown. He is a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator! His Azure Fire Divine Ability and Soul Control Technique are incredibly powerful! But what he is most famous for is his Azure Fire Thunder! Each Azure Fire Thunder is equivalent to a strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

"Therefore, her direct disciples are usually untouchable when they are out in the world! Who knew that old demon would give her disciples a few Azure Fire Thunderbolts!"

Jin Qing paused here, took a sip of tea, and continued.

"He has a grandson named Chu Qingyan, who successfully formed his core about fifty years ago and has now reached the mid-stage of core formation! Several years ago, when he had just broken through to core formation, he made an appearance on Kui Xing Island and was even hunted down by the Star Palace enforcers!"

"But then, they disappeared without a trace. Their exact whereabouts are unknown."

"..."

Jin Qing's information was indeed much more detailed than what was available on the market, and with each word he spoke, Han Li's heart grew heavier.

Before Han Li's eyes, the scenes of spending time with Yuan Yao day and night in the past subconsciously surfaced, everything still vivid in his mind.

Just like yesterday.

Although he concealed his inner feelings, Jin Qing, who had many friends, still noticed something amiss in his momentary silence and change in expression.

"Brother Han, have you perhaps offended some important figure from the Qingyang Sect?"

Jin Qing asked in a low voice, her five fingers gripping the teacup tightly.

"No, Brother Jin, you're overthinking it."

Han Li smiled faintly and shook his head, his expression unchanged.

"It's just a minor grudge with one of the Core Formation cultivators."

"That's good."

Jin Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

That makes sense. Han Li was only at the Foundation Establishment stage before, how could he possibly offend a Nascent Soul cultivator!

He's just a Core Formation cultivator. Even if he holds some positions, it won't have much impact on Han Li, who is valued by the Sixth Elder.

That person was definitely not Chu Qingyan, the young master of Qingyang Sect.

after all.

What a coincidence!
