Mortal: From a Chaotic Star Sea to a True Immortal

Wei Fang thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I am not very proficient in puppetry, so I won't make a change."

"If Junior Brother Han can acquire some of these puppets, I'll give him one or two to use later."

"Just don't let Master Tianjing know that we have a large number of soul stones."

Is a puppet good?

That would be great.

Wei Fang naturally also wanted to create a puppet at the Nascent Soul stage.

However, he really has limited energy.

Over the years, I've worked tirelessly to successfully cultivate the Golden Sun Technique, complete the forging of the magic weapon, and elevate my cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage.

It has already filled up his entire time.

Han Li is covered in livers, but he doesn't have any.

He hasn't had time to comprehend the several top-tier demonic arts he acquired from Wen Tianren yet.

The Heaven-Supporting Demon Art is also a very time-consuming skill.

The art of puppetry is nowhere to be found.

Moreover, it seems that most of the time, this thing isn't of much use to the Old Demon except for clearing out mobs.

……

Cheng Tiankun was curious about which of Han Li's skills he was good at, such as puppet making, alchemy, weapon crafting, or raising spirit beasts.

To master each of these skills requires an enormous amount of time, energy, and resources.

Wei Fang has come a long way with such opportunities and abilities.

That's already pretty good.

……

After spending four days at the auction held by the Crystal Dragon Pavilion, Han Li bid farewell to Lü Luo.

I'm preparing to go and investigate the Marquis of Nanlong.

"Senior brother, are you really not going? According to that Marquis of Nanlong, this gathering is of great importance. It might even be some kind of heaven-defying opportunity."

"never mind."

After Wei Fang shook his head in refusal, he told Han Li his idea.

"This auction is a once-in-a-century event, and I urgently need some rare and precious materials to strengthen my natal magic weapon."

"Although we've only collected this small piece of Geng metal so far, there's always more to come."

"Compared to that so-called secrecy, I think it's better for me to stay in Tiancheng for a while longer."

Wei Fang had been thinking about it for the past few days, and apart from the Yin Ring of the Yin-Yang Ring, the cave dwelling of the Cangkun Master was also occupied by...

The rest are not really urgent.

Wei Fang did not intend to steal Han Li's opportunity regarding the Yin Ring and Yang Ring.

Anyway, at worst, I can just go to the Fallen Demon Valley with Han Li.

As for whether Han Li can still obtain this item after losing the Silver Moon... that's not something Wei Fang should worry about.

Even if they joined forces with Han Li on this trip and wiped out all the Nascent Soul cultivators there.

Not only would it be a waste to lose some of Tiannan's fighting strength for the later battles, but it would also be a loss to gain some useless items.

……

Looking at the walnut-sized piece of Gengjin in Wei Fang's hand, Han Li said with a wry smile, "Who would have thought that this tiny piece of Gengjin would sell for more than 70 spirit stones?"

"Although I have some wealth, I can't afford to go to such lengths for such a small amount. We'll have to find a solution later."

Upon hearing this, Wei Fang smiled and said, "It's alright."

"This auction will last for a while, I'll keep an eye on it for you."

"The amount of Geng metal needed for my natal flying needles isn't too much. If there is any left over, I will definitely save it for Brother Han."

After thanking Wei Fang, Han Li handed him a storage bag and asked him to use the resources in the bag to help acquire Gengjin.

The bag contained mostly high-grade demon cores and similar items, which were considered rare in Tiannan.

After Wei Fang put it away, he chatted with Han Li for a while longer.

Then I watched as he took his leave and walked away into the distance.

After watching Han Li leave, Wei Fang strolled back to the Luo Yun Sect's base in Tiantian City.

"Junior Brother Wei, why did Junior Brother Han leave in such a hurry?"

When Lu Luo saw Wei Fang return, he went up to him and asked.

"Senior Brother Lü, Junior Brother Han has other important matters to attend to and has to leave."

"But my senior brother and I are here, so it's alright."

Lu Luo walked to the window, hummed in agreement, and then said...

"Hmm... Junior Brother Han has only recently entered the Nascent Soul stage, he must return safely."

Wei Fang was speechless upon hearing this; it was true that Senior Brother Lü was a kind-hearted person.

It's really overthinking to worry about Han Li unnecessarily.

Over the next few days, Wei Fang participated in trade fairs held by various sects and factions.

The harvest was quite substantial.

They've almost gathered all the rare spiritual herbs and seeds needed to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Art.

This body-refining technique is unlike any other; not only is it difficult to cultivate, but it is also often accompanied by various strange and painful experiences.

This is probably why the Bearded Man needs people with strong spiritual sense as his disciples.

Without sufficient spiritual suppression and the aid of various secret medicines.

The various deep-seated numbness, itching, and pain during cultivation can truly drive a person crazy.

Gu Baowei also bought one, a pair of bracelets.

It can be considered a top-tier defensive magic weapon, costing him a full 12 low-level spirit stones plus a level six demon core.

A top-tier defensive artifact is worth the price.

However, because he was wearing a mask to prevent being spied on, Wei Fang wasn't worried about being discovered.

Although Wei Fang didn't kill thousands of demonic beasts in the Chaotic Star Sea like Han Li, he still managed to kill dozens or even hundreds of level five or six beasts.

Naturally, there is no shortage of demon cores.

In addition to its ability to protect its owner and trap enemies, this magical artifact also possesses other functions.

Because a significant amount of Dream Essence Crystals were added to the materials used to refine this treasure, it also possesses some auxiliary functions.

It has the effects of calming the mind and relieving pain. It is perfect for assisting in the cultivation of the Heavenly Demon Art.

This item was ingenious, and Wei Fang naturally exchanged it with the black-robed cultivator.

The trade fair is still ongoing.

The ten days or so passed slowly.

During this time, Wei Fang encountered another small piece of Geng metal, about the size of an egg.

Fortunately, the man agreed to barter, and Wei Fang exchanged the items with him without revealing his intentions.

Although it cost a lot of resources, Wei Fang did not hesitate at all.

In the following days, Wei Fang saw quite a few good things, but there was no further news about Geng Jin.

The exchange meeting in Tiancheng was originally scheduled to last for more than a month.

However, in less than 20 days after the event began, the atmosphere in Tiancheng became strange.

Not only was the trade fair temporarily canceled, but a large number of cultivators also began to look solemn, and the atmosphere became heavy.

This was naturally because Han Li and his group encountered the vanguard of the magicians, who then delivered the communication talismans to the Nascent Soul elders of various sects.

Tiancheng quickly became alert and prepared for battle.

Wei Fang had anticipated this, so he took advantage of this time to use the remaining Geng metal from before, along with the Geng metal exchanged this time.

Furthermore, the ten or so fundamental magical treasures were refined by mixing them with Geng metal.

Han Li was left with only half of the egg-sized portion.

To avoid Han Li coming back and saying he was disloyal.

A few days later

The Mulan army has arrived.

Within the border of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance of Yu, the people could only see the Mulan army, three hundred miles away, as a dark, imposing mass.

It stretches as far as the eye can see, without end.

I knew this was a big deal.

This distance is something a cultivator can reach in a short time.

Fortunately, the Yu Kingdom's grand formation had already been activated several days before receiving the news.

That leaves only one war.

Wei Fang heard the news three days ago, but the Yu Kingdom had already suffered two defeats.

The Nine Nations Alliance is said to have suffered heavy losses.

He remembered that the Yinluo Sect of the Great Jin Dynasty had also secretly assisted the Mulan people.

The purpose was to collect the corpses and souls of both sides after the great battle.

Although he hadn't seen or heard any news about the Yinluo Sect, Wei Fang knew they must be mixed in with the Mulan army.
