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

......

Kui Xing Island.

Tiandu Street Market, a well-known restaurant.

The third layer.

A faint white light flashed, and a figure in a green robe appeared out of thin air.

It was Han Li.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene around him, he felt a little emotional.

The last time he came to the restaurant, he was with Qian Bi, the patriarch of the Qian Clan Chamber of Commerce. At that time, his cultivation level was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

In the blink of an eye, more than thirty years have passed.

"Waiter, a pot of tea, please!"

"Alright! Senior, the tea will be here soon!"

As soon as Han Li finished speaking, a lean man walked up.

A pot of spiritual tea was served.

Before heading to the restaurant, Han Li had already suppressed his cultivation to the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Those whose spiritual sense is no greater than Han Li's will naturally not be able to see through his disguise.

"Please enjoy your meal, senior. Call me if you need anything."

The waiter, with a smile on his face, brought over the tea, poured a cup, and then prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, waiter, I have something to ask you."

Han Li picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and called out to the waiter.

"Senior, what would you like to ask you?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter's eyes darted around, and he said...

Han Li didn't ask directly. He wiped his hand on his storage bag, and a spirit stone appeared in his hand.

Snapped!

Han Li slammed the spirit stone on the table and pushed it forward.

Upon seeing this, the waiter immediately beamed with joy.

"Oh, senior, you're too kind. Even if you don't give me spirit stones, I will still tell you everything I know!"

"I want to know what happened on Kuixing Island thirty years ago after the great calamity."

Han Li took another sip of tea, his face expressionless, and got straight to the point.

"Senior, you haven't been back for many years, have you?"

The waiter glanced at Han Li, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected Han Li to ask that question.

But having worked in the restaurant for years, he naturally knew that there were many things he couldn't ask.

So he decided to stop thinking and answered directly:

"Senior, if you're asking about the great calamity on Kui Xing Island, then you've come to the right person. I will certainly answer all your questions without reservation..."

"......"

"After the great calamity on Kui Xing Island, the transformed demon beast Lei Peng broke free, and the world changed color in an instant, as if it were the end of the world of cultivation."

"Fortunately, the Sixth Elder of the Star Palace intervened forcefully, fighting him for three days and three nights. Although the Sixth Elder was already very powerful, he still managed to let Lei Peng escape..."

"However, it's probably been too long since you last visited Kui Xing Island."

"The island is now back to normal, so there's no need to worry too much."

"......."

Han Li looked out the window at the Demon Suppression Platform in the distance. The Demon Suppression Platform, which had been reduced to ruins, had been restored to its original state.

However, Lei Peng, who was imprisoned there, had long since disappeared.

I wonder how the Qian Family Chamber of Commerce is doing?

Several familiar faces suddenly flashed into Han Li's mind.

The waiter was talking non-stop.

Before I could react, a flash of white light appeared before my eyes.

Han Li's figure vanished into thin air.

"A Core Formation cultivator!"

The waiter stared blankly at the horizon.

......

Tiandu Street Market.

A flash of white light appeared, and a figure dressed in a blue robe slowly emerged.

The young man was only in his early twenties, yet he faintly exuded the aura of someone in the Foundation Establishment stage.

It was Han Li.

Before him stood a quaint three-story building with four large characters written on the plaque in a flamboyant style: Qian's Chamber of Commerce.

These few words, however, seem to have long lost their former charm.

Han Li glanced at the Qian Clan Chamber of Commerce building and then entered.

The Qian Clan Chamber of Commerce headquarters is no longer as luxurious as it was a few years ago.

Everywhere you look, the once-expensive decorations have disappeared, replaced by something quite simple.

In the lobby on the first floor.

Only a few scattered figures were looking at something on the counter.

among them.

There wasn't a single Foundation Establishment cultivator!

How did the Qian family fall into such a sorry state?

Han Li was filled with doubt.

He browsed around the counter for a while; most of the items were ordinary.

Back in the day, there were even several top-grade magical artifacts in the counter!

Han Li was strolling around.

Just then, a trembling voice, tinged with surprise, reached my ears.

"Elder Han!"

Han Li subconsciously turned his head and looked towards the stairs.

A familiar body appeared before Han Li.

He wore a long yellow robe, was round all over, and had those familiar, somewhat shrewd eyes.

Money makes you rich!

Qian Facai's cultivation has now reached the peak of Qi Refining, but his hair is already gray, and his eyes and brows show signs of fatigue and old age.

"Elder Han, I thought I had mistaken you for someone else, it really is you!"

Qian Facai approached Han Li with delight, bowed respectfully, his voice trembling slightly. Behind him followed two young disciples, a man and a woman, who appeared to be Qian Facai's juniors.

Seeing Qian Facai's respectful manner towards Han Li, he was initially shocked, but quickly recovered and followed suit, bowing with his hands clasped in greeting.

"Money, get rich, it's you!"

......

A moment later, Han Li was invited to sit down at the back of the house.

"How is the Qian family doing lately?"

Han Li sat in the head seat, looking down at the money and fortune below.

At that time, none of the Qian family's disciples participated in the demon-suppressing ceremony, so there shouldn't have been any major problems.

But what my eyes see now.

All of this shows that the Qian Family Chamber of Commerce is no longer what it used to be.

Upon hearing Han Li's words, Qian Facai's face showed a hint of pain.

After a long silence, he finally spoke:

"Elder Han, after the great calamity on Kui Xing Island, my ancestor happened to receive a batch of goods that needed to be transported urgently. Due to the urgency of the situation, my ancestor personally escorted the goods with two Foundation Establishment elders."

"Unexpectedly, we ended up encountering cultivators from Extreme Yin Island..."

"In the end, all the elders and disciples, including the patriarch, perished."

Extreme Yin Island?

All perished?

Unexpectedly, within just a few years, the person from back then has fallen.

Han Li frowned upon hearing Qian Facai's words, already feeling quite disgusted, but now his dislike intensified.

Han Li then learned of this.

Not long after Qianbi's death, only two Foundation Establishment cultivators remained in the Qian family's main branch.

Seeing the decline of the Qian family, the other guest elders left one after another, including Elder Li, who was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Further on.

The Chamber of Commerce's business was quickly devoured by competitors and enemies.

Their current strength is only enough to keep them holed up on Kuixing Island, barely surviving, and getting worse every day.

The less powerful you are, the less spirit stones you can earn.

The less they can earn spirit stones and the less they can support Foundation Establishment retainers, the more they decline.

Han Li never expected that the words Qianbi had spoken that day about the decline of the family would come true!

Nowadays, most of the Qian family's descendants have lost their former arrogance.

When they encounter old enemies, they all keep a low profile.

dong dong!

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Upon hearing that Elder Han, a guest elder of the clan and a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, had suddenly returned, two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the clan rushed over without stopping.

"Elder Han, you must stand up for the Qian family!"

Upon seeing Han Li, an elder recounted the Qian family's misfortunes over the past few years, and as he spoke, he burst into tears.

A stream of snot and tears.

After a moment, the man seemed to realize that it was too shameful for his family to cry in public during the Foundation Establishment stage, and that it might have angered Elder Han, so he stopped crying.

"Um... Qian Ningshuang, how is she?"

Han Li asked casually.

Upon hearing the name Qian Ningshuang, the Qian family members exchanged glances. Then, one of them seemed to remember something and quickly stepped forward, respectfully saying:

"Elder Han, Ning Shuang and the others were unharmed on Red Moon Island and successfully established their foundations several years ago! However, due to the decline of the Qian Clan Chamber of Commerce, several enemies are keeping a close eye on them, so they have not dared to let Ning Shuang return."

The man glanced at Han Li, paused, and then continued:

"If Elder Han wishes for Ning Shuang's return, we can arrange it immediately!"

"No need. Red Moon Island is secured by Nascent Soul cultivator Shi Kun, making it impregnable. Moreover, it has abundant cultivation resources, and she may have the opportunity to form her core in the future. Let her cultivate there properly."

"With them around, the Qian family may still have a chance to turn things around."

Han Li remained calm and said indifferently.

"Thank you for your guidance, Elder Han."

Looking down at the Qian family members, there were fewer familiar faces and many unfamiliar ones.

Han Li's feelings were somewhat complicated.

In his mind, his cooperation with the Qian family back then was just a transaction.

He originally intended to leave directly.

But when he thought of several of Qian's familiar old friends, he felt a mix of emotions.

Well, it's alright to lend a little helping out.

Han Li then lightly touched the storage pouch at his waist, and a cyan jade bottle appeared in his hand.

"I had a past relationship with the Qian family, and now that the Qian family is in decline, I should help them."

"I will give you these two Foundation Establishment Pills."

Han Li tossed the blue jade bottle in his hand lightly, and it flew towards one of the Qian family elders.

Foundation Building Pill!

Upon hearing this, the two elders of the Qian family were filled with joy!

He quickly opened the medicine bottle, confirmed that it was indeed a Foundation Establishment Pill, and carefully put it into his storage bag, thanking Han Li repeatedly.

My gratitude is beyond words!

With the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, plus the Qian family's resources, the clan can add at least one more Foundation Establishment cultivator!

The pressure of future survival will be greatly reduced!

Having left the Foundation Establishment Pill behind, Han Li had no more worries. He stood up and walked into the courtyard.

The Qian family and their companions quickly followed.

We arrived in the courtyard.

Han Li's icy voice rang out:

"My karmic ties with the Qian family are now severed!"

"From this day forward, we have no further connection, and you must never mention my name again!"

Upon hearing this, the Qian family members became serious and quickly agreed.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, Han Li transformed into a white rainbow and soared into the sky.

"A Core Formation cultivator!"

"Elder Han is actually a Core Formation cultivator!"

The Qian family members immediately began to stir.

"Shut up! From now on, anyone in the clan who dares to mention Elder Han's name again will be expelled from the clan!"

An elder of the Qian family spoke with a serious expression and an icy demeanor.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, trembling with fear.

There was no more sound in the courtyard.
