Mortal: Even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, I still have to try and get my hands on the Little Gree

"Dragon Blade!!!"

Upon witnessing Mu Yu's instant kill of a cultivator of the same level, the two people and the corpse present finally recognized the Demonic Dragon Blade in Mu Yu's hand.

"How is that possible? Hasn't this kind of thing already become a legend in this world?"

The burly man in the yellow robe and the Heavenly Wind Immortal, hidden in the hurricane, could hardly believe what they were seeing.

However, as Nascent Soul stage cultivators, these two were still very sensible.

"Fellow Daoist, spare our lives! Today, the two of us are only dealing with this Corpse King. We have absolutely no intention of trying to seize the Heavenly Corpse Pearl from you."

"If you agree, fellow Daoist, may we leave immediately?"

The burly man in the yellow robe immediately spoke up, fearing that Mu Yu wouldn't be satisfied after killing the demonic cultivator and would kill him as well.

At this moment, neither of them dared to run away immediately, nor did they dare to reveal their master's lineage, lest they bring trouble upon the sect.

Mu Yu was somewhat surprised to see that the two of them were so sensible.

There are still plenty of Nascent Soul cultivators inside the Myriad Soul Banner, so releasing them wouldn't be a problem.

"Never mind, let's go. I'm in a pretty good mood today..."

With a wave of his hand, Mu Yu casually dismissed him.

Upon hearing this, the two immediately transformed into two streaks of light and fled, only recalling their treasures after they had gone quite a distance.

Despite losing the Yellow Sand Array, the avatar of the Radiant Corpse King dared not leave.

He could easily kill someone of the same level. Even if his true form were here, he wouldn't be able to escape, not to mention the opponent's unpredictable lightning escape technique, which was almost as fast as a Nascent Soul teleportation.

"I'm actually a little surprised that you didn't run away."

"Alright, hand over the two Heavenly Corpse Pearls, and I won't kill you."

The Corpse King Xuan Ye was somewhat wary of Mu Yu's existence, but he was naturally very unwilling to hand over his Heavenly Corpse Pearl.

"Fellow Daoist, you jest. Although I have cultivated the Heavenly Corpse Technique, I have only cultivated one Heavenly Corpse Pearl. How could I possibly give two to you?"

"However, you saved me from that predicament earlier, which can be considered as saving my life."

"Since that's the case, if I willingly offer up this Heavenly Corpse Pearl, I wonder if you would spare my life?"

Although the avatar here is just a clone, it is no less important to the Corpse King Xuan Ye than the original body.

The Radiant Corpse King muttered a long string of words before spitting out a golden bead from its mouth.

If Mu Yu hadn't known there was another one beforehand, he probably would have been fooled by his words.

"You're probably waiting for reinforcements..."

"It's alright, the two of us can just wait here. If you're not satisfied, I'm willing to go back to your lair with you."

"In short, I am determined to obtain this one in your hand, as well as the one you kept in your cave."

"As for what price to pay, that's something you need to decide."

Mu Yu spoke calmly, directly revealing the biggest secret hidden by the Corpse King Xuan Ye.

Moreover, Mu Yu's attitude was completely unlike that of someone facing someone of equal rank.

It should be noted that after cultivating the Heavenly Corpse Technique, his physical strength in the tomb was comparable to that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist, are you truly willing to accompany me to the tomb?"

The Corpse King Xuan Ye was somewhat surprised. He was unsure whether Mu Yu was ignorant or overconfident, so he could only try to probe her.

"Hmm? That makes sense. Right now, you only have one Heavenly Corpse Pearl in your possession. Whether you agree to it or are preparing to ambush me, it seems I'll definitely have to go to your tomb."

"In that case, let's go."

"I'm quite curious, how much did your skills differ from those of a true late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in the tomb?"

Mu Yu spoke calmly.

He's just a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator; it's not like he hasn't killed them before. Although it's indeed a bit dangerous to rashly enter someone else's cave.

But since the innate ability to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune didn't offer any warning, Mu Yu had nothing to fear.

After receiving Mu Yu's answer, the corpse of Xuan Ye Corpse King became somewhat unwell.

He couldn't tell if Mu Yu was truly confident, but he wasn't too willing to try to figure it out.

After all, there are indeed old monsters at the Nascent Soul stage in this region of the Great Jin.

As a zombie king who had lived for over ten thousand years, he had some understanding of these things.

If what you're looking at really is an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage, then his little schemes could become reasons for your death.

"Alright, since you dare to go, I will lead the way."

"To be honest, apart from some clueless grave robbers, my tomb hasn't had any distinguished guests for quite some time."

The Corpse King Xuan Ye changed from his previous wary demeanor to become extremely obsequious.

It's just the Heavenly Corpse Pearl, comparable to a natal magic weapon, and he gave it away!!!

On the way, the Corpse King Xuan Ye encountered Lady Yu Hua, who had arrived with a large number of reinforcements. The ghostly aura and the boundless green clouds caused the Soul-Crying Beast to become restless in its spirit beast pouch.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yu suddenly spoke up:

"It seems your reinforcements have arrived as well."

"I will go to the tomb with you no matter what the outcome is, but you have to answer one question for me now, and you can't lie about it."

"Are you prepared to fight me later? Or are you planning to offer up two Heavenly Corpse Pearls to save your life?"

Along with Mu Yu's voice, Lady Yu Hua also arrived with her army, appearing behind the Corpse King Xuan Ye.

Upon hearing Mu Yu's words, the Corpse King Xuan Ye hesitated and did not immediately respond.

Seeing this, Mu Yu shot out a sword beam from his fingertip, sending the Xuan Ye Corpse King to Lady Yu Hua's side.

"Now that your life is no longer in danger, can you answer my question?"

Mu Yu asked, her voice tinged with anticipation.

At this moment, Xuan Ye Corpse King had no idea what Mu Yu was thinking, but he instinctively sensed a sense of crisis.

"Of course, to repay your life-saving grace, I am willing to offer two Heavenly Corpse Pearls."

Xuan Ye, the Corpse King, agreed very readily, but Mu Yu was somewhat disappointed.

"In that case, let's go!"

Mu Yu spoke calmly.

This conversation left Lady Yuhua, who was standing beside the Corpse King Xuan Ye, somewhat puzzled, but she wisely refrained from asking any questions.

Before long, the group returned to the tomb of the Corpse King Xuan Ye. On the surface, the place seemed ordinary, but deep inside, there was an extremely dense corpse aura.

Upon entering the tomb, Mu Yu saw the true form of the dazzling corpse king.

It was a man dressed in a jade crown and yellow robe, who looked like a living person and was probably only thirty years old.

At this moment, the Xuan Ye Corpse King, holding a Heavenly Corpse Pearl in his hand, walked up to his clone and picked up another Heavenly Corpse Pearl.

"Fellow Daoist, I offer these two Heavenly Corpse Pearls to express my gratitude for saving my life."

Xuan Ye, the Corpse King, was unusually friendly. Mu Yu had thought he would try to ambush her here.

Mu Yu calmly accepted the two Heavenly Corpse Pearls, released his divine sense to examine them, and found no problems with them.

"You're quite sensible!"

"In that case, I feel a little bad taking it for free."

"Hmm... how about this, the corpse energy in your tomb is quite good, I'll trade these things for you."

Mu Yu pulled out an empty storage bag and filled it with some items related to corpse refining that he had obtained from the Yinluo Sect Master.

Mu Yu wasn't very interested in corpse refining; he originally intended to exchange these things for something else or sell them.

Now, it's a good time to make use of these waste materials.

Xuan Ye Corpse King nervously accepted the storage bag, but was startled as soon as he probed it with his divine sense.

The items inside are enough for him to create two or three more Nascent Soul stage subordinates.

"Fellow Daoist, please do as you wish. You may do whatever you want with this mausoleum."

At this moment, the Corpse King Xuan Ye was overjoyed. With these things, he would soon be able to cultivate back the Heavenly Corpse Pearl he had lost.

Of course, the Corpse King Xuan Ye didn't know that these were the entire collection of the Yin Luo Sect Master, who was a master of corpse refining who had personally refined three corpses of the same level as himself.

At this moment, the three refined corpses are still in Mu Yu's storage bag.

The Corpse King Xuan Ye was still rejoicing over his gains, completely unaware of what he was about to lose, when he turned around and saw Mu Yu release a little monkey.

The little monkey looked frail, but for some reason, it dared to drool over me. This is an exclusive first release from the author, Fat Cat Who Loves Salted Fish, presenting "Mortal: Even with a Celestial Spiritual Root, You Still Have to Snag a Little Green Bottle!"

At the same time, a very dangerous feeling arose in the heart of the Zombie King Xuan Ye.

"You can't eat this one, he's easy to talk to. As for the others that haven't developed sentience, you can eat whatever you want."

Mu Yu offered a reminder, then let the Soul-Crying Beast transform into a giant ape and begin frantically absorbing the surrounding corpse energy.

Compared to the Yinluo Sect Master's army of corpse refiners, the current number seems rather small.

After consuming the army of unintelligent corpses and all the corpse energy in the entire tomb, the Soul-Crying Beast's covetous eyes once again fixed on the Xuan Ye Corpse King.

"Alright, that's enough. They were quite nice, so we can't go too far."

Upon hearing this, the Corpse King Xuan Ye broke out in a cold sweat.

"The attitude was alright?" Does that mean if he had been even slightly less polite, he would have been one of those people eaten by this strange beast.

"Alright, now that I have the stuff, I won't scare you anymore."

After Mu Yu put the Crying Soul Beast back into his spirit beast pouch, he waved his hand and turned to leave.

Even long after Mu Yu left, they dared not make any move.

When they finally dared to move, the first thing they did was relocate.

As for the plan to lavishly absorb the essence and blood of cultivators...

The three corpse kings decided that from now on they would become vegetarians.

……

Now that I have the Mingwang Technique and the Heavenly Corpse Pill, the next step is to find a place to cultivate.

Although the spiritual energy in the Great Jin Dynasty is much stronger than that in the Southern Heaven, the density of cultivators is far greater, to the point that it is almost impossible to find any unclaimed spiritual veins in the entire Great Jin Dynasty.

Forget about sects and such; Mu Yu has no intention of pretending to be a low-ranking disciple and doing those chores.

Aside from the sects, only the major markets possess decent spiritual veins that can meet Mu Yu's cultivation needs.

Mu Yu and his companions, Han Li and Nangong Wan, set off for Jinjing.

As the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, this place has a fairly good level of spiritual energy, and there are also some Nascent Soul stage cultivators residing in the city.

The spiritual energy level in this market town is no less than that of those sects, and it can fully meet the needs of cultivation.

Before going into seclusion, Mu Yu visited all the shops in the market area near Jinjing, and then revealed his mid-Nascent Soul cultivation level, offering rewards for materials to many shops.

At the same time, Mu Yu also revealed some rare materials that he possessed, which could be used for exchange.

In this way, each shop leaves two lists, and Mu Yu is able to collect a lot of workers.

Of course, this method can only yield some common materials; for those that are too precious, Mu Yu still has to go find them himself.

After agreeing to return in a few years, Mu Yu returned to Jinxi Fangshi and rented several courtyards.

Then, he set up the formation and prepared to cultivate the Bright King Technique to resolve the problem of the evil energy within him.

The Mingwang Technique doesn't require very advanced cultivation; reaching the second level is enough to resolve the issue of malevolent energy.

Meanwhile, Nangong Wan was in seclusion elsewhere, hoping to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm as soon as possible.

With the pills provided by Mu Yu, the cultivation wouldn't be delayed due to the lack of spiritual energy in this place.

After more than three years of seclusion, Mu Yu completely resolved the problem of the evil energy within him, and his physique also improved considerably.

Han Li emerged from seclusion a year earlier than Mu Yu and went to search for items in various markets according to the list Mu Yu had given him.

Soon, three legends emerged in the cultivation world of the Great Jin Dynasty.

A young Nascent Soul cultivator frequently made bids at various auction houses, acquiring all sorts of strange and unusual items.

One masked monk was buying expensive items, his wealth seemingly limitless.

There was also an ugly, burly man who specialized in forcing transactions with various minor sects. Although he never killed anyone, he aroused a lot of hatred.

Over the course of more than a year, Han Li accumulated a considerable amount of rare and exceptional materials, enough for Mu Yu to help him refine a spiritual treasure.

Han Li had been eyeing the power of spiritual treasures for a long time.

A few days after Mu Yu emerged from seclusion, Han Li returned with many rare spiritual items. Mu Yu took a quick look and found that the materials were almost ready, so she decided to help Han Li refine a spiritual treasure.

After discussing it, Mu Yu decided to help Han Li forge a Three-Flame Fan.

This is not because Han Li originally had a Three-Flame Fan, but because Mu Yu only had the method to refine the Seven-Flame Fan spiritual treasure. If he were to refine other magical treasures, it would be very likely that he would not be able to reach the level of a spiritual treasure.

While the power of the imitation spirit treasure was sufficient, Han Li naturally wanted a real spirit treasure.

Coincidentally, Han Li had also been eyeing Mu Yu's Yin Yang Five Fire Fan for a long time, so after hearing Mu Yu's inquiry, he immediately decided to refine the Three Flame Fan.

If Mu Yu were to refine the Three Flames Fan again, he would be almost certain that he would be able to refine it into a spiritual treasure, since he already had the experience of success once.

As for why it's the Three Flames Fan, and not Mu Yu's current Yin Yang Five Flames Fan...

Naturally, it's because Mu Yu only has three types of spirit flames at hand right now.

However, it doesn't really matter. In any case, Mu Yu can only use the Yin-Yang Five Fire Fan to combine three flames at the moment. Combining four flames would be too much of a challenge for him.

If it were Han Li, with only two Nascent Souls, he wouldn't be able to use the Four Flames Combined, so even if he created the Five Flames Fan, it would be of no use to him.

When Han Li can use the Four Flames Combined, he probably won't need a spiritual treasure of this level anymore.

Therefore, the Three Flames Fan is just right, and it also fits Han Li's original timeline perfectly.

Before the once-in-a-decade trade fair in Jinjing began, Mu Yu and Han Li went to Yueyang Palace and exchanged two level-eight demon cores for three tail feathers of the level-eight Haoyang Bird in the palace.

The tail feathers of an eighth-level demon beast are actually a bit lacking; a tenth-level demon beast would be better.

But there was nothing he could do; level 10 demonic beasts were too rare in the human realm. Of all the level 10 avian demonic beasts Mu Yu knew of, only Ice Wind was one.

The transaction was completed smoothly, and both parties were satisfied. The only one who was not too happy was probably the Haoyang bird, whose tail feathers had been plucked.

After all, if it's lucky, it might manage to get one of those two level-eight demon cores; if it's unlucky, it might not be able to keep either of them.

But soon, the Haoyang Bird became engrossed in a pile of delicious food and completely ignored the two level-eight demon cores.

The Yueyang Palace seems to have a fairly good reputation; surprisingly, no one was tempted by the money after the transaction was completed, which disappointed Mu Yu.

At least their lives were saved; sometimes being kind to others does have its benefits.

Mu Yu was a little disappointed that she lost some extra income.

After obtaining the tail feathers of the Haoyang Bird, Mu Yu found an open space and began refining the weapon.

Having learned from the previous experience, this time Mu Yu fused the three flames—the Violet Extreme Fire, the Asura Sacred Fire, and the Blood Flame Demon Fire—into one, unlike the Yin-Yang Five Fire Fan which was scattered.

Because the Azure Ice Flame and the Purple Extreme Fire that Han Li had created were too similar, Mu Yu did not join in.

After much effort, Mu Yu successfully crafted the Three Flames Fan.

If this fan were at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, it would be far more useful than Mu Yu's Yin Yang Five Fire Fan. With just one wave, it could summon a three-colored firebird, and the power of this firebird could be controlled according to the amount of mana injected.

Unlike the Yin Yang Five Fire Fan, its power is not difficult to control.

But considering that it was Mu Yu's first time successfully crafting a real spiritual weapon, there was nothing to complain about.

These three flame fans naturally gave rise to the Tongbao Technique, thus becoming a true Tongtian spiritual treasure.

To obtain this treasure, Han Li not only had to work for Mu Yu, but also had to give up the right to use the small green bottle of green liquid for thirty years.

Han Li said it was well worth it!

After the Three Flames Fan was completed, Mu Yu took some time to summon Ti Hun and had him use the Ten Thousand Corpse Fire to refine the Vajra Shield into a magic weapon.

This item was exchanged by Han Li for the right to use the green liquid in the small green bottle for six months, and he intended to give it to Nangong Wan for self-defense.

Afterwards, Mu Yu took out the essence of the Spirit Phoenix and refined it into the Yin Yang Five Fire Fan to serve as its spirit.

They also extracted the five elements spiritual light from the Spirit Phoenix's body and refined it into the Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain.

In this way, the strength of the treasures in Mu Yu's hands has been enhanced. The Five Extremes Locking Spirit Mountain, which was originally about to be eliminated, has once again become one of Mu Yu's trump cards.

It has to be said that the Five Elements Spiritual Light is quite useful, which made Mu Yu a little curious.

Just how powerful is the Five Elements Divine Light used by the real Five-Colored Peacock?
