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

Upon hearing Xin Ruyin's words, Linghu Patriarch began to look at her in a different light.

The formation that Elder Linghu presented was merely a formation capable of trapping and killing Core Formation stage cultivators; for him, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, such a formation was practically useless.

However, it should be noted that Xin Ruyin is currently only at the Qi Refining stage. Normally, without any talent in the Dao of Formations, she would not be able to understand these things at all.

"Not bad, you do have some skill."

"Disciple, go and help her set up the formation..."

"If it works, I don't mind wasting a little time."

When Linghu Laozu saw that Xin Ruyin had completed the first test, the expression on his face finally softened considerably.

"Um... Master, I can set up this formation myself. If you're looking for help, would you like to find someone else?"

"If I were to arrange this for Xin Ruyin, it wouldn't be quite appropriate, would it?"

Mu Yu said with a hint of helplessness.

Upon hearing this, Elder Linghu was genuinely surprised.

"Disciple, I'm not talking about the kind of setup with array plates and array flags."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu did not offer any explanation, but simply nodded silently.

In the cultivation world, formations are generally divided into two types. One type is the kind that Han Li would often use later, which is a temporary formation made by a formation master and composed of array plates, array flags and other tools.

Another type is a formation created by the formation master based on their own formation skills, combined with some key elements or natural restrictions.

The most classic examples are the protective formations of various sects, as well as some ancient relics and other such formations.

For this reason, it is wisest to have a formation master assist you when treasure hunting.

Right now, what Elder Linghu had Xin Ruyin arrange was the second type.

He just hadn't expected that Mu Yu's mastery of formations would have reached such a high level.

At this moment, Elder Linghu was at a loss for words.

Although he had long known that his disciple was very talented, this talent was a bit too outrageous.

Putting everything else aside, Mu Yu's talent alone is enough to make Ancestor Linghu act willfully and waste some of his own time on her behalf.

"Alright, you go ahead with your work. Leave this girl to me. Putting everything else aside, I can afford the pills and time it takes for her to break through to the Core Formation stage."

Linghu Patriarch didn't want to see Mu Yu at all right now. He was a little worried that if he saw Mu Yu again, he might do something he would regret out of jealousy.

Can the difference in talent between people really be this great?

……

Bringing Xin Ruyin to Linghu Laozu's side was a backup plan arranged by Mu Yu.

He was well aware that the environment in the human world was extremely harsh, making natural ascension almost impossible.

Smuggling across spatial nodes is far too dangerous for Mu Yu, even with his talent for avoiding danger and seeking good fortune, the risks are still too great.

Therefore, Mu Yu plans to train Xin Ruyin.

If her talent for array formations is truly that extraordinary, there might be a chance she could find other ways to ascend to the Spirit Realm.

Of course, this is just one of Mu Yu's plans, and it doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not.

Even if it fails, Xin Ruyin's ability to complete the ancient formation will still be useful to Mu Yu.

After all, Mu Yu only learns formations faster and can set them up more easily than others; he doesn't have the ability to complete formations.

After returning to his cave, Mu Yu looked at the Spirit Eye Tree in the Spirit Spring Pool, thought for a moment, and then used magic to capture it and put it into a jade box.

Turning around and leaving, Mu Yu soon arrived at the entrance of Han Li's cave.

Although Mu Yu already knew the exact location of the cave from Han Li's communication talisman, the desolate scene around it still surprised her.

"No wonder this Spirit Eye Spring has not been discovered; this place is far too desolate."

Mu Yu's casual remark startled Han Li, who was hiding in his cave cultivating a small medicinal herb field.

Looking at the intact formation and then at Mu Yu who had suddenly appeared in front of him, Han Li felt his eyelids twitching wildly, as if he were about to die.

"Brother Mu, if you're going to make a move, you'd better do it quickly. This sudden attack is quite frightening."

At this moment, Han Li had absolutely no intention of escaping.

There's nothing special about it; I've simply accepted my fate.

If Mu Yu is truly willing to share the Heavenly Bottle with me, then it would be a stroke of good fortune for me.

If Mu Yu disregards the existence of the inner demon oath and forcibly kills him, then there's nothing to complain about.

After all, even if he ran away, with his spiritual root and cultivation speed, he wouldn't be qualified to take back the little green bottle.

"This is just a warning. These mass-produced goods bought from the market are far too rudimentary."

As he spoke, Mu Yu tossed over a storage bag and a jade box, and continued:

"This contains an array plate and array flags. You can set it up yourself by just looking at the jade slip."

"This jade box contains the Spirit Eye Tree, which I cultivated separately."

"For the next period of time, you will cultivate this thing for me. Once it can naturally secrete alcohol, bring it to me to refine the Mingqing Spirit Water."

"In exchange, I can still provide you with some Foundation Establishment stage pills."

After saying that, Mu Yu took out the small green bottle and handed it to Han Li.

At this moment, Han Li stared blankly at the small green bottle that had reappeared in his hand.

If it were him, even considering the existence of the Heart Demon Oath, he would never entrust such an important item to someone with a lower cultivation level than himself.

"Brother Mu... have you decided to entrust this item to me?"

"If I encounter a formidable enemy..."

Han Li spoke in a daze.

At this moment, Han Li could no longer tell whether he should be happy or worried.

Upon seeing the little green bottle again, Han Li was naturally overjoyed.

However, from a rational perspective, such a thing should be entrusted to someone stronger for safekeeping.

Han Li was already very content to be able to continue using the little green bottle to cultivate spiritual herbs.

"Remember what I said before? I saw your future..."

"Theoretically speaking, this thing is safer in your hands than in mine, since your future should be fixed if it is not changed."

"But my future is unknown."

Mu Yu's words not only failed to dispel Han Li's doubts, but instead made him even more confused.

Han Li opened his mouth, wanting to ask a question, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

After a long pause, Han Li finally spoke, his voice dry and strained: "What you said before, about Ancestor Linghu's divine sense..."

Mu Yu paused for a moment before replying, "That... it should be considered resolved by now. If he knew about the existence of the little green bottle, we would have been subjected to soul-searching long ago."

"Don't worry, nothing unexpected will happen."

"According to the books I've been reading these past few days, although the divine sense of a Nascent Soul cultivator can exert some power after being activated, it should still be unable to serve a monitoring function under normal circumstances."

"If you're worried, you can go outside Huangfeng Valley and search for similar records."

Upon hearing this, Han Li finally felt relieved and then asked Mu Yu some questions about cultivation.

Although Mu Yu had never encountered most of the problems Han Li raised, he still solved them easily, after all, Mu Yu's cultivation level was far superior to Han Li's.

To be honest, if he hadn't been cultivating the Three Revolutions Rejuvenation Technique, he could already be considering breaking through to the Core Formation stage.

After leaving Han Li's cave, the formation of Han Li's cave had been transformed into the Inverted Five Elements Formation, which possessed 20% of its power.
