Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
Ep. 77 - Their Doubts

Yao Han and his two friends became hero figures who were hailed by the citizens of Black Rose City because of the services they provided.

The nickname as the Blue Lotus Physician was increasingly attached to Yao Han because he distributed the Blue Lotus Flower to everyone, but he did not think too much about such a small thing.

"Senior, it seems like Brother Yao has so much of a supply of Blue Lotus Flowers to share with everyone," whispered Honghao.

Shenghao did not reply and only smiled faintly. He was also astonished at how much the Blue Lotus Flower Yao Han had stored in his spatial ring.

Yao Han's entourage spent three days in Black Rose City just to provide free medical services, protective amulets, and the Blue Lotus Flower, as well as staying at Uncle Kai's modest home.

Before leaving the city, Yao Han removed the poison in Uncle Kai's body and gave him three types of pills. First, a pill to raise the practice. Second, the yellow pill is for added energy. Third, a white pill named the Longevity Pill.

For cultivators, Yao Han's Longevity Pill was efficacious to add as much as five years of age. While for ordinary humans are efficacious to restore the condition of the body ten years younger.

At most can only be consumed as much as two pills, because consuming more than that does not provide efficacy at all.

"Young man, once again I say thank you."

Mayor Shi Ban saluted him. Behind him there were quite a number of townspeople who wanted to let go of Yao Han's entourage.

"Mayor don't be confused. I'm happy with what I'm doing anyway." Yao Han paid the mayor's respects.

Shi Ban smiled awkwardly, he had never known of anyone who looked relaxed and was happy to give free treatment to others.

In fact he felt Yao Han came from a privileged background, judging by his outstanding medicinal abilities and being able to befriend a large sect disciple.

"Mayor, please leave."

"Be careful, young man. Have a good and pleasant journey."

Uncle Kai was in the front row of the citizens and gave Yao Han and his two friends the most spirited hand.

***

Yao Han's cultivation practice had already reached the sixteen level Basic Realm for all five of his spirit roots and stayed a little push to break through to the seventeenth level Basic Realm.

Only, Yao Han was a little worried that the moment he managed to raise the practice would cause the phenomenon of the appearance of light pillars soaring into the sky like what had happened on Star Moon Island, given that only he was known to have a practice above the fifteenth level of the Basic Realm in the entire Blue Moon Continent.

All Yao Han could do in the meantime was practice absorbing Qi to forge his body, as well as meditating to calm his heart and mind during the journey with his two friends.

"Brother Shenghao, Brother Honghao, it seems like you guys want to ask me something..."

Yao Han glanced at his two friends who were sitting not far from him. He noticed Shenghao and Honghao whispering to each other while glancing at him several times since leaving the Black Rose City.

"Brother Yao, please don't take it personally. There was something we wanted to ask, but we realized our question was presumptuous because it was personal." Shenghao smiled faintly.

"Hmmm..." Yao Han stroked his chin, "If you ask someone like that, maybe they will be offended and angry, but I won't take matters into consideration. So you're free to ask."

Shenghao and Honghao looked at each other for a moment. Shenghao cleared his throat slowly before starting to ask.

"Do you have two spirit roots?"

Yao Han raised his eyebrows, "No. Why do you think so?"

Shenghao explained that he and Honghao suspected Yao Han of having two spirit roots after seeing his actions in the fight against Juzi the terror offender and the Ghost Gate disciple.

The strength that Yao Han displayed was unnatural for a Basic Realm cultivator, except to use forbidden techniques or consume pills to obtain great power briefly.

Usually this method causes side effects, such as not being able to practice or move the body in a certain period of time. However, Shenghao and Honghao did not sense or see Yao Han using those two ways.

By having two spirit roots and reaching the fifteenth level of the Basic Realm, it still made sense to compensate for the strength of the opponents who were in the Foundation Realm, at least the Mortal Foundation.

"That's.if for practice, I have indeed reached the fifteenth level of the Basic Realm..."

"... and basically I have a five elemental spirit root."

Yao Han did not lie, but did not deny him covering up a small part of the truth about his condition.

His practice had even passed through the fifteenth level of the Basic Realm and indeed at first he had the five elemental spirit root after the event of being struck by the golden lightning that nearly killed him seven years ago. And thanks to Bai Tian's help, he had five basic pure spirit root elements.

Yao Han might hesitate to answer if Shenghao's question was like this, 'Do you have more than one spirit root?'

"I've never known of any cultivator with a five elemental spirit root who had managed to reach the fifteenth level of the Basic Realm..." Honghao commented, "Did Senior Feng give you a pill or something in order to achieve that, Brother Yao?"

Yao Han understood the doubts of his two friends. The five elemental spirit root was the worst type of spirit root. The practice would stop at the ninth level of the Basic Realm and if lucky could only succeed in forming the Mortal Foundation with the help of the Foundation Forging Pill. After that, the practice will not be improved.

"It's not like that. Pretty complicated and long if I tell it." Yao Han smiled awkwardly.

"You don't have to tell it if you don't want to, Brother Yao." Shenghao could see the young man reluctant to tell a story.

"Thank you, is there another question?"

"Ng. that's.. what-"

Auu...!

Shenghao's words came to a halt as the sound of wolf howls rang out. Yao Han and the others became tense and wary. Hurriedly they stood up and watched around.

"Wolf smile?"

Yao Han took a deep breath while activating his special eye ability.

'There doesn't look like any wild animals... But the distance of the sound source should not be too far from here.'

Yao Han hurriedly jumped onto one of the trees to make it easier for him to look in a distant direction.

'There is no time to use the Force Fused With the Wind...'

Auu...!

The sound of the wolf's howl the second time made Yao Han stare, then exclaimed at Shenghao and Honghao.

"There was a small village and the sound of wolves came from there!" Yao Han pointed in one direction.

"Wine! We have to go there!"

"I'll go first!"

Not yet had Shenghao and Honghao digested Yao Han's words, the young man had already darted away.

"Fast fast!" exclamation Honghao.

"Brother Yao used the science of lightening a high-level body. Let's quickly follow through," Shenghao said then started running towards the direction Yao Han pointed at, followed by Honghao after.

Relying on the Heavenly Wind Steps, in a short period of time Yao Han managed to reduce the distance with the small village he had just seen from a distance.

"What the fuck?!"

Yao Han's face paled at the terrifying sight before him.
