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

At this moment, Ancestor Linghu, like a generous spender, took out three ancient treasures, including the Blue Light Shield, and five magical treasures with different functions from his storage bag.

Among them, Mu Yu is more familiar with the Blue Light Shield.

Even at the Nascent Soul stage, this ancient treasure is extremely valuable. When Ancestor Linghu took it out, the pain on his face was almost impossible to hide.

If Mu Yu hadn't appeared, this Blue Light Shield would probably have been traded to Han Li by Linghu Patriarch along with two other treasures more than two hundred years later, in exchange for Han Li's promise to help Huangfeng Valley three times.

This shows how precious this thing is.

"Master, you are... even richer than I imagined."

When presented with magical treasures by Patriarch Linghu, Mu Yu naturally accepted them without hesitation.

Although he has already advanced to the Core Formation stage, Mu Yu does not yet have a suitable magic weapon. These treasures can serve as a transitional item before he can refine his natal magic weapon.

Upon hearing Mu Yu's flattery, Elder Linghu sighed.

"Ah~ My Yellow Maple Valley has a long history. Although there are not many Nascent Soul stage cultivators in each generation, the lineage has never been broken. Over such a long period of time, many magical treasures have naturally been passed down."

"However, you can only have all of those things after you reach the Nascent Soul stage."

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore."

"Now that you have formed your core, you should already have a plan for how to refine your natal magic weapon. If you are missing any materials, feel free to tell me."

Linghu Laozu still maintained his generous demeanor, but his words no longer carried the same air of grandeur as before.

After all, in a place like Tiannan, some precious spiritual items are really hard to find.

If it were any other Core Formation stage cultivator, or even some Nascent Soul stage cultivators, Old Ancestor Linghu would dare to take on all the responsibilities.

But Mu Yu... Although Patriarch Linghu didn't know where he got those information from, Mu Yu's knowledge was sometimes even greater than his own.

For example, the complete Qingyuan Sword Manual benefited him greatly.

Upon hearing Elder Linghu mention his natal magic weapon, Mu Yu pondered for a moment and decided to use the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo.

According to the established timeline, the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo will probably not appear for another hundred years or so, and Mu Yu can't wait that long.

The seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords were already too numerous to be easily refined. If it were delayed for another hundred years, his natal magic weapon would be much weaker than planned.

It is important to know that the reason why a natal magic weapon is called natal is because after it is successfully crafted, its power can continuously increase with the cultivation of the cultivator.

"Master, you should also know the method of forging the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword. I don't plan to change to other magic weapons. I already have some clues about the spiritual bamboo used to forge the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, but I need to go out for a while."

Mu Yu spoke up and explained her plan.

Upon hearing this, Elder Linghu immediately frowned.

"Go out? Apart from some forbidden areas, there aren't many places to go in Tiannan."

"When you say 'going out,' do you mean you want to use that ancient teleportation array to travel to that place called the Chaotic Star Sea?"

Linghu Laozu pondered for a moment before speaking his guess.

Mu Yu nodded calmly without offering any explanation.

Linghu Patriarch actually wanted to refuse, but he also knew very well that cultivators could not have any future if they just stayed in the sect in seclusion.

It's one thing if he's below the Core Formation stage, but he's already a Core Formation stage cultivator, so even Ancestor Linghu can't keep him locked up in the sect.

If one stays within the sect and doesn't venture out, even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, their future achievements will be extremely limited.

Seeking opportunities is a common practice for cultivators, and even Linghu Laozu himself would venture out and take some risks when the time was right.

"You said before that I would die if I went to that Chaotic Star Sea. What about you? Or perhaps you could bring other fellow disciples with you?"

Linghu the Elder pondered for a moment before asking.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu closed his eyes and carefully sensed his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, causing his spiritual energy to become somewhat chaotic for a moment.

Linghu Patriarch was startled by the sight, thinking that there was a problem with Mu Yu's newly formed golden core, but before he could use his divine sense to check, Mu Yu returned to normal.

"Master, I'm alright!"

Mu Yu spoke, stopping Linghu Patriarch from probing with his divine sense.

"I just used my talent to sense that if Master wants to go to the Chaotic Star Sea, he can only keep his cultivation level below the Core Formation stage. If someone discovers that you are in the Nascent Soul stage, neither of us will survive."

"As for the other fellow disciples..."

Mu Yu didn't explain much, she just shook her head.

In fact, he didn't sense much, but he knew that bringing other people along would cause a lot of trouble.

Even so, I won't go.

Linghu Laozu shook his head and spoke.

The cultivation technique he practices does not have a strong ability to conceal his true strength. If he encounters someone whose cultivation level is slightly higher than his, his true level will definitely be revealed.

This kid possesses such an amazing talent for predicting good and bad fortune; he shouldn't be in any danger to his life.

After that, Elder Linghu stopped talking about these matters, told Mu Yu some things to pay attention to when cultivating in the Core Formation stage, and then left.

After Elder Linghu left, the other Core Formation cultivators from Huangfeng Valley came to offer their congratulations. Lei Wanhe also brought Mu Yu a lot of basic spiritual materials from the sect's treasury, all of which were obtained from Yanling Fort.

Only after all the Core Formation stage cultivators in Huangfeng Valley had arrived did Han Li cautiously approach Mu Yu's cave.

……

Congratulations, Brother Mu, on achieving the Golden Core stage!

Han Li's first words to Mu Yu were congratulations, and his eyes were filled with nothing but envy.

"I am preparing to go out to find the main materials for refining my natal magic weapon. The return date is uncertain, but it will take at least several years, or even decades, to come back."

"You may reside in this cave before I return, ostensibly to take care of my herb garden. This is a restriction token."

"If you encounter any difficulties, take this golden jade slip with you and ask my master for help."

Upon seeing Han Li, Mu Yu didn't exchange any pleasantries. Instead, he took out the Heavenly Bottle, several storage bags, a restriction token, and three jade slips and handed them to Han Li.

"The blue jade slip contains some cultivation insights I gained when I broke through to the Core Formation and Foundation Establishment stages."

"The red jade slip contains a list of rare medicinal herbs and the recipe for Ming and Qing spiritual water. The seeds and seedlings of these herbs are all prepared in the storage bag."

"Don't waste the green liquid from the Heavenly Bottle on ordinary herbs unless absolutely necessary."

"By the way, give me all the thousand-year-old spiritual herbs you have on you. I'll leave you tens of thousands of spirit stones and refine enough pills for you."

Han Li was somewhat lost in thought as he listened to Mu Yu's instructions, his expression slightly dazed.

It can be said that Mu Yu led him to truly enter the world of cultivation, and Mu Yu has always been taking care of him.

Although the relationship between the two sides started with a transaction, Han Li has now become accustomed to having Mu Yu's presence.

In Han Li's heart, Mu Yu has always been his source of confidence.

Now that this source of confidence is about to leave, Han Li himself doesn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

……

Although he was preparing to go to the Chaotic Star Sea, Mu Yu had only recently broken through to the Core Formation stage, so he still spent several months consolidating his cultivation.

While I'm at it, I'll also learn more about the things to pay attention to when cultivating during the Core Formation stage from Elder Linghu.

Besides consolidating his cultivation, Mu Yu also drew more than ten mid-level early stage talismans. It wasn't that he didn't want to draw more, but that there were too few beast hides in Tiannan.

Besides that, he also refined a batch of Foundation Establishment Pills for the sect and a sufficient number of Foundation Establishment pills for Han Li, among other things.

The Foundation Establishment stage puppets were crafted before, but the Core Formation stage puppets lacked both the necessary materials and the time required, so they were not crafted at that stage.

In terms of formations, Xin Ruyin has completed the Inverted Five Elements Formation to about 35% completion, which is considered a formation that can also be used to some extent by those in the Core Formation stage.

In addition, there are three or five similar Core Formation stage formations, and one formation that requires several days to set up but can pose a slight threat to Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Perhaps? It could be used to buy time?
