Chapter 121 Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma, Shui Bing'er's Promise

Although it's just moving from the mountain to the foot of the mountain, the joy of moving is still something to celebrate.

Han Li originally wanted to invite Matthew and Su Yuntao, but considering that his master and senior uncle were present, he thought that even if he invited them, they would be very reserved. So he decided to postpone it to another day.

Overall, the atmosphere at the banquet was quite good. After the festivities, everyone returned to their rooms to begin their cultivation.

The next morning, Han Li officially began his busy work.

It's not that he intends to participate in the demolition and relocation of the simulated environment, but rather that he plans to move the botanical garden on the mountain back to his current residence.

Although it started as a matter of obtaining the Immortal Herb Compendium and was entrusted by Chrysanthemum Douluo, over time, he has gotten used to appreciating these rare flowers and herbs to relax in his spare time from cultivation.

There are many poisonous flowers and plants there. Simple care is fine, but if they are moved, unexpected situations are bound to occur. So this task has to be done by him, who has a large living storage space.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Han Li finally finished rebuilding the botanical garden in the house. Looking at the fruits of his labor, he felt a unique sense of satisfaction.

As for the simulated environment, the relocation of the items in the ice space was almost complete, so Han Li didn't delay any longer and went directly to find Shui Bing'er.

"Are you nervous? Do you want me to give you a little more time to prepare?"

Han Li looked at Shui Bing'er, who was taking deep breaths from time to time, and asked with a smile.

"No need, I'm already prepared. Is there anything you need me to do?"

Shui Bing'er's expression turned serious. Qingluan had not officially accepted any disciples beforehand, and Han Li had not revealed any information in advance.

Hearing her words, Han Li chuckled: "No need to be so serious. In fact, you just need to communicate with your martial soul normally and then cultivate."

As he spoke, a wooden box appeared in his hand. He opened it and found a purple Ganoderma lucidum inside, emitting a misty aura, which looked quite mystical.

"Of course, that's assuming you actually eat it."

Han Li handed over the box he was holding.

Shui Bing'er took it, examined it, but couldn't see anything.

"that's all?"

"Actually, it's not difficult to solve. The reason why your martial soul went out of control and went berserk is that it has some congenital malformation."

Han Li explained in the most straightforward and understandable way.

"So you mean it's because my martial soul, while mutating in a positive direction, hasn't fully evolved, that's why it's like this?"

Shui Bing'er was intelligent, and she understood his meaning with just a little effort.

"That's right, it's not stable, and also because you yourself are not strong enough to provide it with the help to fully evolve, which is why it occasionally goes berserk."

Seeing that Shui Bing'er's face looked somewhat gloomy, Han Li quickly added.

"Of course, you are still very good. At least you have given it a prototype. It can be considered to have hatched. Unlike some people, who are simply unable to support the mutation of their martial soul, causing the evolution to end before it even begins, and their martial soul to degenerate directly."

"So it seems my result is not bad."

Shui Bing'er looks much better. People are always like this; when there are people in even worse situations to compare them to, they always feel better.

"It's not bad. Moreover, your martial soul's outburst is also the martial soul's instinctive desire to evolve, naturally drawing on beneficial energy from the environment to improve itself. This is why you feel your soul power increases significantly after each martial soul outburst."

"In fact, as your cultivation level continues to improve, and with the addition of spirit rings, the feedback to your martial spirit will increase. Who knows, one day it might evolve on its own."

Han Li meticulously explained the problem to Shui Bing'er.

"So? That means you and Senior Guangling were lying to us before?"

Shui Bing'er seemed to realize something, blinked, and stared intently at Han Li.

"No, actually, every time your martial soul goes out of control and goes berserk, it causes serious damage to yourself. As long as the berserk state doesn't happen too frequently, your body can still heal itself."

"But if your martial soul goes out of control again, it's uncertain whether you can survive it. Even if you can, you'll probably only reach the Soul Saint or Soul Douluo level, as the damage to your meridians would be too great."

"You should have experienced that kind of pain before, and be able to tell if I'm lying. Besides, although it's only happened twice so far, can you guarantee when it will happen next?"

To be honest, Han Li wouldn't stoop to fooling a little girl; gambling on probability was a losing proposition, with eight out of ten people losing.

"Yes, it's terrifying when your martial spirit goes out of control. I feel like I'm about to explode under the energy impact at any moment."

Shui Bing'er still felt lingering fear when she thought about what had happened not long after her martial soul awakened and the recent signs of losing control.

"Alright, these things won't happen again. Swallow it and start cultivating. When it's over, you'll be a top-tier beast spirit master."

Han Li pointed to the cultivation room beside her.

"This Ganoderma lucidum must be very precious, since it can replenish the essence of a martial soul?"

Shui Bing'er didn't go over immediately, but looked at Han Li. Her mother had searched for many medicines for her over the years, but she had never seen a Ganoderma lucidum that looked extraordinary just by its appearance.

"Yes, it is indeed very precious. There is only one of these in the world. It can easily allow an 89th-level Soul Douluo to break through to the Title level." Han Li nodded and answered seriously.

Shui Bing'er is not Xiu'er. Although she is now a junior sister, there is no emotional foundation between them. His purpose is to repay kindness.

He's not some kind of philanthropist. If you're going to help someone, you should let people know how much help you're giving, right?

"So precious?"

Even though Shui Bing'er had some expectations, she was still startled, feeling as if she were holding a title in her hand.

"Otherwise, why would it be able to replenish your martial soul's essence? As for more, you'll find out later."

"Alright, Junior Sister Bing'er, this Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma is the price you're paying for it. It's time to get started, or dinner will turn into breakfast."

Han Li made a joke and urged.

Shui Bing'er's evolution requires his assistance, as he controls the ice element, to ensure everything goes smoothly. Naturally, it should be done while she is in her best condition.

"Alright, thank you, senior brother. Bing'er will repay you in the future."

Shui Bing'er looked at the box in her hand again before giving a solemn bow and speaking earnestly.

"Alright, then I'll wait for Junior Sister Bing'er's repayment."

Han Li responded with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.

Shui Bing'er nodded, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards the training room next to her. Han Li followed her.
