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

"I am very curious about what role the seedlings of Thunder Bamboo can play in alchemy."

Ling Xiaofeng's tone was starting to sound impatient.

At the same time, he was also puzzled as to whether the cultivator in front of him who had just formed his core was reckless or ignorant.

"It's useless for alchemy, but useful to me."

"I have confirmed the existence of the Thunder Bamboo seedlings; how to find them is a matter for your Star Palace."

"I think... the senior wouldn't force me to refine pills, right?"

Mu Yu remained calm and showed no sign of fear.

Ling Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was calculating something.

Mu Yu had already vaguely sensed a murderous aura, but her talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune still showed auspicious signs.

The feeling of waiting for fate to decide was not pleasant, but after hesitating for a moment, Ling Xiaofeng suddenly changed his attitude.

Not long after, Ling Xiaofeng's voice rang out again, this time much gentler.

Mu Yu wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but there seemed to be a hint of... fear mixed in that gentle voice?

It must be a sensor malfunction.

"Alright, I will bring you the seedlings of Thunder Bamboo. I hope you can also bring the pills I need."

After saying that, Ling Xiaofeng disappeared from Mu Yu's sight.

……

"What you sensed... is it real? He's only in the early stage of Core Formation, and hasn't even had time to refine his natal magic weapon yet. How could he possibly pose a threat to the two of us?"

On the highest level of the sacred mountain in Tianxing City, Ling Xiaofeng asked Wen Qing with some disbelief.

He had actually been planning to make a move, since no Core Formation cultivator had dared to be so presumptuous in front of him since he became a Nascent Soul cultivator.

But at the crucial moment, Wen Qing's telepathic message changed his mind.

"The Spirit Darkness Technique I cultivate mostly makes these inexplicable premonitions real. I'm also very curious about how he did it, but I don't dare to think about it at all."

"All I know is that if we fight, we will die... no, it will be a feeling far worse than simple death."

Wen Qingdai frowned, her gaze shifting between light and shadow.

"Perhaps this person is some Nascent Soul stage old monster in disguise."

"Although we are both at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, only one step away from the Divine Transformation stage, as long as we haven't broken through to the Divine Transformation stage, even if those old monsters at the Divine Transformation stage stand in front of us, we won't be able to see the slightest flaw."

Ling Xiaofeng raised another possibility, one that he was unwilling to mention.

According to the records of the Star Palace throughout the ages, the power of Nascent Soul cultivators has reached the pinnacle of this world, which is completely beyond the comprehension of Nascent Soul cultivators.

In fact, if it weren't for the special perception brought about by Wen Qing's cultivation of the Spirit Darkness Technique, Ling Xiaofeng wouldn't have dared to think in that direction at all.

Now, recalling the scene when he communicated with Mu Yu, Ling Xiaofeng did not sense any fear from Mu Yu.

"If he really is an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage, then his superb alchemy skills and his search for the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo seedlings seem quite normal."

Wen Qing thought for a moment, then continued:

"For now, it's best to pretend you know nothing."

"Send word to search for Thunder Bamboo seedlings; if found, they can be used for exchange..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaofeng remained silent for a moment before suddenly speaking:

"If he really is an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage in disguise, is there any way to solve our current problem?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Qing also fell silent.

After a long while, Ling Xiaofeng finally spoke, "Next time I see him, I'll test him a bit."

"If there's a chance..."

……

At this moment, Mu Yu was unaware that the Star Palace Twin Saints had already regarded him as a Nascent Soul stage being and were plotting how to extract information from him.

If Mu Yu knew, she would most likely sigh.

The two sages of the Star Palace really suffered from their extensive knowledge.

Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would have no idea of ​​the power of the Divine Transformation stage, let alone think about it.

Besides, Mu Yu will probably use the information about the "Danling Root" to exchange for some benefits with the Star Palace Twin Saints.

As long as Mu Yu's talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune doesn't warn him, he's willing to do anything.

As for the advice to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune...

Excuse me, do you know what "avoiding misfortune" means?

Mu Yu would never venture into dangerous situations. Long before anything happened, Mu Yu had already left at an auspicious time and place.

Currently, Mu Yu doesn't know how long he can predict good or bad fortune, but he didn't notice any ominous signs while he was thinking about going to Tianxing City.

In other words, if entering Tianxing City would be dangerous, then Mu Yu would never have come.

After instructing Zhou Yuan not to reveal what had just happened, Mu Yu completed the transaction with Miaoyin Sect.

This time, Zhou Yuan didn't say anything pointless like "I can't find it."

It's very simple. Mu Yu exchanged three Spirit Stabilizing Pills for a high-level weapon-refining inheritance.

Next, I inquired about any recent alchemy commissions and selected some formulas and corresponding materials that interested me.

It has to be said that with the help of the Miaoyin Sect in handling those alchemy requests, Mu Yu had much less to worry about.

The rest of the time was spent waiting.

Currently, the Reverse Star Alliance has not yet appeared, and the Star Palace is undoubtedly the number one in the Chaotic Star Sea. It should not be too difficult to find a spiritual item that is practically useless.

But even if the Star Palace is very powerful, it still takes time for the people who handle things to take place.

Therefore, Mu Yu stayed peacefully in the cave, refining pills, forging weapons, and cultivating the third level of the Great Evolution Technique every day...

Compared to the first two levels of the Great Evolution Technique, the difficulty of the third level has increased significantly.

With the blessing of a celestial spiritual root and the dual-life soul, Mu Yu is already considered to be among those with a vast innate divine consciousness.

Even so, he still encountered many difficulties in cultivating the Great Evolution Technique, but fortunately these troubles were not too difficult to solve.

Now, Mu Yu probably understands what Han Li's daily cultivation is like.

Time flies by in these regular days, and more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

……

On this day, Mu Yu, who was refining a magical artifact, suddenly noticed that his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune was reacting, which was an auspicious sign.

Moreover, it was a very strong auspicious omen.

Sure enough, not long after, Ling Xiaofeng brought back seedlings of Thunder Bamboo, the recipe for the Qi Cultivation Pill, the spiritual herbs for refining the Qi Cultivation Pill, and... a full ten demon cores of level eight or above.

"Even the Star Palace couldn't gather ten level-ten demon beast inner cores. I wonder if we could use the inner cores of level-eight and level-nine demon beasts?"

Ling Xiaofeng spoke casually, trying his best to remain calm and not think about the fact that the person in front of him might be an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage.

Mu Yu didn't care, and instead took out the alchemy furnace and started refining pills right in front of Ling Xiaofeng.

This audacity in refining pills right in front of him further confirmed Ling Xiaofeng's suspicions about his identity as a Nascent Soul stage monster.

While refining pills, Mu Yu explained:

"A level 10 demon core will suffice. That thing is just a catalyst, used to extract some of the aura from the demon core to enhance the spiritual root's effect of the Qi Cultivation Pill."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaofeng's heart pounded wildly.

But he forcibly suppressed his excitement and asked casually:

"An amplification of spiritual roots? The inner core of a level ten demon beast... could it possibly also help the spiritual roots of human cultivators?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu thought for a moment and then spoke, following the auspicious omen she sensed through her talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune:

"No, spiritual roots are predetermined and cannot be changed. At the very least, there are no treasures in the human realm that can allow mortals to develop spiritual roots."

"However, if you find the cultivation speed too fast, there are still ways to help you develop more spiritual roots."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaofeng almost knelt down and kowtowed to Mu Yu.

"A way to gain an extra spiritual root? I once saw it in an ancient book. There was a method that could replace a spiritual root by using a pure attribute treasure for blood sacrifice, but it seems that it can only replace one spiritual root attribute."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu frowned, which scared Ling Xiaofeng half to death.

At this moment, Mu Yu did not notice Ling Xiaofeng's expression, but was puzzled as to why the talent of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune would make him reveal the news of the Danling Root.

Oh well, it's an auspicious sign anyway. My talent can't possibly harm me.

After carefully sensing it and confirming that it was indeed an auspicious omen, Mu Yu finally spoke:

"Having one more spiritual root isn't enough? Senior, are you going to have five spiritual roots?"

"However, speaking of which, I did see in an ancient book that one could use the inner core of a level 10 demon beast to replace the other spiritual roots that the original body lacked."

"But unfortunately, that ancient book only recorded that the inner core of a level ten demon beast could be used as a spiritual root, but I had no idea how to do it."

"I don't think anyone would want to have the talent of five spiritual roots."

Hearing these words, Ling Xiaofeng was once again certain of the identity of the person in front of him.

No doubt about it, this person knows even such secret matters; he must be an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage.

We must ask, no matter the cost, to find out the method for obtaining the Danling Root.

"A level ten demon beast's inner core?"

Ling Xiaofeng forcibly suppressed his excitement and continued to feign curiosity, asking:

"Using the inner core of a demon beast to replace one's original spiritual root—the ancient cultivators certainly had ingenious ideas! But are there any limitations to this method of using the inner core of a demon beast to replace one's spiritual root?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu realized it was still an auspicious omen and replied without hesitation:

"Of course there's no limit to the number, but this method can't be used on mortals."

"And as a cultivator, who would want to have an extra spiritual root that makes their cultivation speed incredibly slow?"
