Mortal: From a Chaotic Star Sea to a True Immortal

"Brother Han, have you taken a fancy to this Spirit Eye Jade?"

Wei Fang took a sip of the spirit wine and asked, unsure if it was appropriate.

Han Li was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Could it be that Brother Wei intends to exchange this item for me? Otherwise, why would he ask such a question?"

Thinking of this, Han Li directly asked, "This item is indeed extremely rare, and I would certainly like to obtain it. However..."

"However, I, Han, am penniless and probably have no treasures to match him."

After saying that, Han Li gave a wry smile.

He was about to make a move to return the jade of spiritual eyes to Wei Fang.

"Eh!"

Wei Fang waved to stop him.

"Take it, take it, don't be polite with your brother."

Wei Fang said, "This item has an effect on pure spiritual energy that is rare in the world."

"With Brother Han's talent, this item could save you at least ten or twenty years on the path to Nascent Soul. Brother Han, do you truly not need it?"

Han Li said somewhat seriously, "It is true that I would like such a spiritual object, but I know that there is no such thing as a free lunch."

"This item must be extremely precious to Brother Wei. So, I'll simply hand it over to Han..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wei Fang pulled something slightly larger than the one in his hand from his storage bag.

After shaking it, it was put back into the storage bag.

"This...it's another top-grade Spirit Eye Jade! Brother Wei's luck is truly..."

This is, of course, the piece that Wei Fang obtained from that secret realm in the Chaotic Star Sea back then.

Han Li felt a pang of envy and a touch of sourness upon seeing this.

What kind of incredible luck is this?

Whoever gets two pieces of the Spirit Eye Jade at once, and both are supreme treasures that are about to take form.

And what about yourself?

Not only did he get captured by a level nine demon beast and taken to its cave for a single demon-accompanying herb.

They were also forced to drink the Azure Flame Wine.

They were also forced to serve as high-level spirit stones for nearly a year.

Having finally broken through to the late stage of Core Formation, he picked up the corpse of a transformed demon beast that no one wanted.

Plus a pair of unwanted wings.

They were even chased from one end of the Chaotic Star Sea to the other...

However, in this way...

"Perhaps we can actually exchange this item with Brother Wei."

Han Li began to ponder.

"Brother Wei, if there's anything you need, I'll give you whatever I have. Please just say the word!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Fang thought to himself, "If I wanted your little green bottle, we'd probably have a falling out before I even finished speaking."

After pondering for a moment, Wei Fang asked, "Brother Han, what kind of deal did you make with that Xuan Gu Old Demon at the Void Heaven Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li initially thought that Wei Fang was after his Void Heaven Cauldron, but after hearing the rest, he realized that he was overthinking it.

"Could it be that the Xuan Bone discussed the Nine-Bend Spirit Pill formula with Brother Wei?"

Han Li thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he put those old matters aside.

Regardless of whether Xuan Gu sought out other people back then.

Han Li now possesses the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng and the formula for making the Nine-Bend Spirit Pill.

"It wouldn't hurt to exchange this Nine-Bend Elixir for the Spirit Eye Jade with Brother Wei."

After thinking about these things, Han Li said, "That's right, that old demon did indeed have a deal with me back then."

"Back then, under pressure from the Extreme Yin Ancestor, I did agree to join forces with him. And the formula for the Nine-Bend Spirit Pill was the bargaining chip!"

After Han Li finished speaking, he took out a scroll of pill formulas and handed it to Wei Fang.

Wei Fang took it and probed it with his divine sense.

It really is the Nine-Bend Elixir formula.

Besides the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, there are all sorts of materials inside, including rare items like the Demon-Accompanying Grass.

Wei Fang's spirits lifted.

He certainly wouldn't dare to go to the philanthropist's place to pull weeds; that's just asking for trouble.

However, Wei Fang felt no pressure at all about exchanging a Nine-Bend Spirit Pill with Han Li.

"Brother Han, have you obtained the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng? Are you confident you can process it?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li touched his nose and said, "This item is indeed in my possession now. However, I can only say that I am about 30% confident in its refining method."

"Brother Wei, do you intend to exchange this item for the Nine-Bend Spirit Pill needed for Nascent Soul formation?"

Wei Fang replied, "Hehe, that's exactly right."

"oops…"

Wei Fang stood up, sighed, and slowly said...

"That day, the old demon Xuan Gu communicated with me telepathically about joining forces, and even offered the method of making this elixir as a condition."

"But that would be going against a Nascent Soul cultivator, and my abilities are too weak. How could I possibly agree to that?"

"We'll talk about it later!"

Wei Fang said bitterly, "Cooperating with that old monster is like trying to get something from a tiger! Who's the mantis and who's the sparrow? Who can say for sure until the very end?"

"Furthermore, I suddenly acquired a treasure, and in my haste, I put the matter aside."

After saying that, Wei Fang turned to Han Li and said, "I have longed for this elixir for a long time."

"If Brother Han succeeds in refining it, just give me one. You may take this Spirit Eye Jade."

Upon hearing this, Han Li recalled the perilous battle he had fought against the Xuan Bone in the Void Heaven Cauldron that day, and felt a deep sense of sympathy.

After listening, he chuckled and said somewhat awkwardly, "Well, this elixir can't be refined in a short time, I'm afraid..."

Wei Fang replied directly, "It's alright!"

"Brother Han, you can keep this Spirit Eye Jade safe now."

"Five years! No, ten years!"

"Brother Han, please give me this Nine-Bend Elixir within ten years."

Wei Fang said meaningfully, "With Brother Han's abilities, refining this Nine-Bend Spirit Pill in ten years should be a sure thing."

Han Li's heart stirred upon hearing this.

"Could it be that Brother Wei has noticed something?"

But then I thought about it again and realized it was unlikely.

"If I hadn't experienced it myself, even if I told others about the effects of that little green bottle, I doubt many people would believe it."

"Perhaps Brother Wei has great confidence in my alchemy skills."

Han Li stood up, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and solemnly said, "In that case, once I have successfully refined this pill, I will never forget Brother Wei's one."

After saying that, he held the Spirit Eye Jade in his hand and said, "Then...then I, Han, will...reject this as it would be impolite."

Wei Fang quickly gestured for Han Li to put it away.

After agreeing on the deal, the two became happy again.

Not long after, Han Li expressed his intention to take his leave.

However, seeing the change in Wei Fang's expression, it seemed that he had something difficult to say.

Then his expression shifted again, and he began to ponder.

"I am truly indebted to Brother Wei this time. Even though Brother Wei already possesses the Jade of the Spirit Eye, no one would complain about having too many of these treasures."

"They must have taken him out because they saw that Han Li's spiritual root aptitude was inferior and that he would have difficulty forming his Nascent Soul."

Thinking of this, Han Li couldn't help but say, "If... if Brother Wei has anything he is reluctant to say, please feel free to speak up."

"I am deeply grateful for Brother Wei's care this time. I will do my best to help him in any way that is within my power."

"but…"

"However, if there is anything that even I, Han, am powerless to help, I hope Brother Wei will not take offense."

Wei Fang felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this.

However, he still cautiously asked, "Brother Han... Brother Han's natal magic weapon was made of Golden Thunder Bamboo. I have been longing for this divine wood for a long time."

"The power of the exorcising thunder is legendary."

"I wonder, Brother Han, after you finished crafting the magic weapon, did you have a piece or two of this divine wood left?"

After Wei Fang finished speaking, he gave a slightly embarrassed smile.
