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

In theory, when a Heavenly Spiritual Root breaks through to the Core Formation stage, it can succeed without the help of any external spiritual object.

However, Linghu Laozu still collected all the Core Formation spiritual items he could find.

Perhaps because Mu Yu had been taking pills to cultivate, Patriarch Linghu subconsciously wanted to prepare more comprehensive preparations for Mu Yu.

But in reality, Mu Yu had no need for these things at all.

After completing the Three Revolutions Rejuvenation Technique, Mu Yu's internal magical power had reached its limit of purity, and he could complete the Core Formation at any time if he wanted to.

However, Mu Yu has not yet successfully cultivated the Mingqing Spiritual Eye, and he plans to wait until he has successfully cultivated it before making any further plans.

Nowadays, the speed at which the eyes absorb the spiritual water of the Bright and Clear Realm is getting faster and faster. It is estimated that the cultivation of the Bright and Clear Spiritual Eyes will only take a few months.

After sensing his own auspicious and inauspicious innate abilities, Mu Yu rummaged through the bottom of his storage bag and found a white jade box covered with various restrictive talismans that isolated spiritual energy.

Carefully avoiding the restrictive talismans on the box, Mu Yu took out a tree with spiritual eyes, about the thickness of a thigh and more than half a person's height, from the jade box.

This item, after years of cultivation, has become a force to be reckoned with. Just as it was taken out of the jade box, Mu Yu felt the concentration of spiritual energy in the cave increase considerably.

After placing the Spirit Eye Tree in the Spirit Eye Spring in the cave, Mu Yu took out a small green bottle and dripped a drop of green liquid onto it.

This little green bottle was naturally given to him by Han Li along with the Spirit Eye Tree before he set off for Yanling Fortress.

At the time, Han Li thought that only he would go, so he was prepared to hand the little green bottle over to Mu Yu for safekeeping. Later, the communication talisman of Ancestor Linghu flew over, and Mu Yu subconsciously put it away and never returned it.

With Han Li's return uncertain, Mu Yu doesn't need to waste time cultivating the Mingqing Spirit Eye.

The amount of Ming and Qing spiritual water prepared needs to be controlled, otherwise it will be wasted.

And so, Mu Yu cultivated the second level of the Great Evolution Technique while absorbing the pure liquid through the Spirit Eye Tree every seven days.

Apart from the first drop of alcoholic liquid needed to refine the Mingqing Spirit Water, all the alcoholic liquid secreted by the Spirit Eye Tree was carefully stored away by Mu Yu.

The sap flowing from this Spirit Eye Tree is extremely useful.

A year later, Mu Yu, as usual, took the first drop of pure liquid condensed from the Spirit Eye Tree and refined it into Mingqing Spirit Water, which he then infused into his eyes.

The Mingqing spiritual water entered her eyes very quickly, and Mu Yu herself hardly felt anything.

"It's been three months, and there's still no reaction."

"It seems that the Ming-Qing Spirit Eye can only do this much."

With a sigh, Mu Yu took the thick-thigh-sized Spirit Eye Tree from the Spirit Eye Spring, put it back into the jade box covered with talismans that blocked spiritual energy, and placed it at the bottom of his storage bag.

In just over a year, Mu Yu successfully cultivated the Great Evolution Technique to the second level and completed the cultivation of the Bright and Clear Spirit Eyes.

Currently, after Mu Yu infused his magic power into his eyes, he could see through most of the restrictive formations and also see through the specific environment inside the mountain range.

If you're serious, you can even figure out things like the direction of the earth's veins and the distribution of spirit minerals.

"Everything is ready; it's time to begin Core Formation."

……

On that day, after Han Li left Yanling Fortress, he was pursued by cultivators from the Ghost Spirit Sect.

After fleeing all the way, Han Li successfully shook off his pursuers and found a safe place with scarce spiritual energy, where he began to cultivate the Great Evolution Technique.

A year has passed since the second level of the Great Evolution Technique was successfully completed.

Just as Han Li returned to the gate of Huangfeng Valley and was heading towards his cave, the originally clear sky suddenly changed.

In the blink of an eye, a vast expanse of dark clouds covered the entire sky, and silver lightning tumbled and rolled within them, densely packed like silver fish swimming across the surface...

At the same time, large swathes of azure spiritual energy surged in from all directions, rolling and surging like waves...

The direction of the surging cyan spiritual energy was the very center of Yellow Maple Valley, which was the location of Ancestor Linghu and also the direction of Mu Yu's cave.

At this moment, everyone in Huangfeng Valley was discussing it, with some disciples thinking that Patriarch Linghu was cultivating some kind of earth-shattering supernatural power again.

Only cultivators at the Core Formation stage and those about to form their Core at the Foundation Establishment stage understand that this strange phenomenon is actually someone forming their Core.

It's just that this one is slightly larger in scale compared to the usual Core Formation phenomenon.

At this moment, a massive vortex of spiritual energy had formed above Mu Yu's cave, with large clumps of azure spiritual energy surging into the vortex and disappearing.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of hundreds of miles was surging towards the direction where Mu Yu was located.

If this weren't located within the Yellow Maple Valley, which naturally contains abundant spiritual veins, the spiritual energy within a radius of dozens of miles would likely have been completely drained.

Even so, the speed at which the massive ball of spiritual energy disappeared did not slow down at all; in fact, it seemed to be getting faster and faster.

Finally, the vortex of spiritual energy lasted for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before it absorbed enough spiritual energy and then collapsed with a roar.

The dissipated spiritual energy cluster transformed into a small, intangible spiritual energy rain within Yellow Maple Valley.

"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Such a rare phenomenon of Core Formation is only mentioned sporadically in ancient biographies. I once thought it was just a legend, but I never expected to witness it with my own eyes today."

Linghu Laoguai was overjoyed and extremely grateful for the decisions he had made.

The spiritual rain lasted only a few seconds before the sky returned to its clear, cloudless state.

At this moment, Mu Yu, who was sitting upright in the cave, had officially entered the Core Formation stage.

"Core Formation... Successful!"

A faint blue tinge faded from the depths of Mu Yu's eyes.

His previous deduction was correct: if the Mingqing Spiritual Eye is successfully cultivated during the Foundation Establishment stage, it will undergo a certain degree of transformation when the Core Formation stage is reached.

Of course, the transformed Mingqing Spirit Eye did not develop any new supernatural powers; it simply could automatically activate itself when encountering abnormal spiritual energy.

In other words, ordinary cultivators, as well as certain spirit beasts and spirit creatures skilled in escape techniques, are easily discovered by Mu Yu.

While such changes may seem insignificant, they can completely rewrite the outcome at crucial moments.

He consolidated his cultivation level slightly and cleaned up the medicinal herbs in the herb garden that were past their prime.

After balancing the rich spiritual energy in the Spirit Eye Spring, Mu Yu carefully hid the small green bottle in his arms before activating the protective array around the cave.

As soon as the formation was activated, the figure of Patriarch Linghu appeared in front of Mu Yu.

"Excellent, excellent! A Core Formation stage cultivator under thirty years old—this is the first recorded case in Yellow Maple Valley..."

Linghu Patriarch looked Mu Yu up and down, his eyes filled with barely suppressed joy.

"However, do not be complacent. You must continue to cultivate diligently, for it is all for naught until you reach the Nascent Soul stage."

"This ancient treasure, the Blue Light Shield, is what I currently use. It has amazing defense and is especially good at countering fire magic."

"This treasure is extremely valuable and should not be used lightly unless absolutely necessary, lest it arouse covetousness."

"Therefore, I will give you a few more ordinary antique treasures."
