Mortal: From a Chaotic Star Sea to a True Immortal

On a secluded island nestled on a mountainside amidst the vast blue sea.

With a flash of light, a figure emerged from it.

"This time, we've missed out on the Soul-Nourishing Wood and the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk, and we haven't even seen a glimpse of the Golden Thunder Bamboo. I wonder who spread the rumor."

"However, obtaining this item is not bad. It will greatly increase the power of magical artifacts."

After sighing a few times, Wei Fang put the teleportation talisman and a golden walnut in front of him into his storage bag.

He was terrified by the teleportation array in the Chaotic Star Sea, so he basically never let go of the teleportation talisman, activating it immediately if things went wrong.

Staring at the blue sky and white clouds in front of the sea for a while.

"It's time to go. Now that everything is settled, it's time to find a place to go into seclusion. The Chaotic Star Sea is about to truly descend into chaos."

……

"They're here."

After waiting at sea for half a day, Wei Fang sensed something, opened his eyes, and waited for a while on a platform.

"Brother Wei!"

"Brother Han, I am relieved to see that you are safe and sound."

It was Han Li who arrived.

After Wei Fang emerged, he sent out a communication talisman, which immediately darted through the sea and disappeared into the void. Han Li would surely receive the message once he emerged.

As for whether he would come or not, Wei Fang was just giving it a try.

Surprisingly, this person actually kept the appointment.

"Brother Wei is truly audacious. He dared to seize treasures from those old monsters and leave unscathed. Han Li admires him greatly."

"Hey, brother, stop teasing me."

Wei Fang said seriously, "The Void Heaven Palace will be closing in about ten days. Brother Han, do you have any plans after that? If so, you should make plans as soon as possible."

"I've narrowly escaped with my life this time. I'm afraid I'll have to find a place to cultivate in seclusion and break through my cultivation level," Han Li said with a wry smile.

"It seems that Brother Han and I share the same view. This time, I offended those old monsters for the sake of this treasure, so I have to go to a secluded place in the outer sea to cultivate in seclusion for decades."

"Oh?"

Han Li lowered his voice and said, "Brother Wei, didn't you previously want to become Qingyi Zhenren's disciple? Why have you changed your mind this time?"

Wei Fang sighed and said, "Brother Han, which of us rogue cultivators doesn't live in constant fear? We toil all day for cultivation and survival, and we also have to scheme against others."

"I have been cultivating alone for over a hundred years, how could I not see through the fickle nature of people's hearts? I have a premonition that something big will happen during this trip to the Void Heaven Palace."

"Whether it's because I possess a great treasure or something else, I, Wei, must indeed break my promise to Master Qingyi. Even if he genuinely wanted to take me as his disciple."

"Given Brother Han's hasty arrival, you must have obtained some extraordinary opportunity within the Void Heaven Palace, right?"

Han Li's heart skipped a beat as Wei Fang scrutinized him.

He said sheepishly, "I did gain some things, but it's nothing compared to Brother Wei."

Wei Fang didn't bother watching Han Li's performance; he was a master of facial expression management himself.

"To tell you the truth, I don't care what treasure Brother Han obtained. Even if Brother Han took the legendary Void Heaven Cauldron... I don't care."

Upon hearing this, Han Li carefully examined Wei Fang, noticing that his gaze was open and honest, suggesting he wasn't being pretentious.

He came to Tianxing City to cultivate decades ago, while Wei Fang arrived even earlier.

Although they all claimed to be rogue cultivators, Han Li had spent so much time mingling at the bottom of society that he knew exactly what rogue cultivators were like.

They were incredibly poor!

Although Wei Fang is not well-known in Tianxing City, it is obvious that this was all done on purpose.

As far as Han Li knew, apart from not being very good at alchemy and often exchanging pills with him, this person was otherwise...

He is far superior to others in skills such as talisman making and array formation.

When I encountered that Xuan Gu before, I saw that he possessed various rare treasures, both his natal magic weapon and his spirit pet were extremely precious.

In addition, given the underhanded nature of his attacks, his fighting skills are clearly extremely formidable.

Anyone who thinks he's an easy target will likely face dire consequences.

Furthermore, his ability to calmly retrieve treasures from within the Void Heaven Cauldron in front of several Nascent Soul stage monsters and then leave was so impressive that Han Li was captivated by it for quite some time.

Which independent cultivator has this ability?

"Even the Void Heaven Cauldron doesn't matter? Brother Wei is truly mysterious. Even if he really has no master, he must possess some kind of heaven-defying opportunity."

Upon further reflection, Han Li couldn't help but smile. "However, I have the Little Green Bottle, which no amount of heaven-defying opportunity can compare to. So there's no need to worry too much about it."

"Brother Wei, do you know anything about this?" Han Li asked, cupping his hands in greeting.

"You're better informed than I am, brother. For example, things aren't going to be peaceful in the Chaotic Star Sea right now. Have you heard of the Reverse Star Alliance, Brother Han?"

Han Li was shocked by Wei Fang's account. He hadn't expected that the righteous and demonic paths would be fighting the Star Palace so soon.

……

"After all this talk, Brother Wei still hasn't said why you summoned Han Li here. Oh!"

"Thank you very much, Brother Wei, for bringing this information. Han Li has benefited greatly from it. Thank you."

Upon hearing this, Wei Fang hesitated for a moment before saying, "The place I'm going to this time is rather special, and I need to prepare some things. I don't know anything about Brother Han's puppetry..."

Upon hearing this, Han Li pondered for a moment, then took out two books and handed them to Wei Fang, saying, "These are some unorthodox secret techniques that I collected back then, but they are severely incomplete. If Brother Wei doesn't mind, please make a copy."

Wei Fang probed with his divine sense and found the Great Evolution Technique and the True Explanation of the Puppet.

After reading a few breaths, Wei Fang was overjoyed and copied them to keep safe, preparing to study them slowly later.

"I apologize for my rudeness this time. Brother Han, is there anything you urgently need? I have some stock on me; perhaps you'll find what you're looking for."

The two then found a place and exchanged all their belongings.

"Han Li is indeed a wealthy man; he even put all these pills in a separate storage bag, which is probably already full."

After exchanging the rare materials he had acquired through various channels over the years, along with the talismans and array plates he had crafted, with Han Li for a large quantity of pills and materials needed to make puppets, the two ended the transaction and prepared to leave.

"Brother Wei, this farewell may be the last time we meet. I, Han Li, wish you a prosperous path in your cultivation, and that when we meet again someday, we will still remember this friendship."

After clasping his hands in a fist salute, Han Li prepared to leave.

"Brother Han, please take this message with you."

Wei Fang called out to Han Li, a conflicted look on his face.

Han Li was puzzled and became somewhat wary.

"Why!"

Wei Fang sighed and said, "Very well, Brother Han, your departure this time has indeed been fraught with difficulties. I don't have anything good to give you, but please take this and use it for self-defense."

With a pained expression, Wei Fang transferred a thumb-sized piece of golden metal to Han Li.

This was the small piece he had cut from that walnut-sized spiritual material.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Han Li had so many good things to offer, and that this matter concerned his path after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, he would never have been willing to give Han Li even a little bit of this item.

This was his biggest gain in the Void Heaven Palace besides the wolf-head jade ruyi.

"This is……"

After Han Li obtained it, he pondered for a moment, then exclaimed as if he had just realized something, "Could this be the legendary Gengjin?"

"Brother Han certainly knows his stuff."

Wei Fang stared at the Gengjin in his hand and said, "I noticed before that your natal magic weapon is a set of flying swords. I suppose you also need something like Gengjin."

"Although your magic weapon is made of Golden Thunder Bamboo, which is rare in the world, it is still not sharp enough compared to flying swords made of spiritual materials and minerals."

"I didn't get much of this Gengjin either, so I'll just give you a little. This piece is enough for you to refine two or three magic weapons. You only need to add a little bit of Gengjin to make magic weapons more powerful."
