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

Mu Yu was unaware that the Danling Root merely provided the body with a channel to cultivate other attribute techniques and would not affect the cultivator's original talent.

Coincidentally, Ling Xiaofeng was also not very clear about this.

In fact, the main reason why Ling Xiaofeng didn't care about this was that after the Nascent Soul stage, cultivators no longer relied solely on spiritual roots and talents for cultivation, unlike before.

This is why cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots can ignore the Core Formation bottleneck, but need to rely on external forces when breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Mu Yu felt no psychological pressure at all about revealing the "Danling Root" to Ling Xiaofeng.

At the same time, Mu Yu did not believe that the two Saints of the Star Palace would be able to cultivate the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light after completing their spiritual roots.

Leaving aside where to find eight level-ten demon cores, the fact that their spiritual roots had changed and they needed to rebuild their cultivation techniques would keep them busy enough.

Mu Yu remembered that cultivating the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light seemed to require completing it in one go.

If one only thinks about repairing one's spiritual root halfway through cultivation, even if one doesn't have to start over, one will encounter considerable trouble in cultivation.

Even Han Li needed over two hundred years to cultivate the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light, and it was impossible for the Star Palace Twin Saints to successfully cultivate it before their lifespans ran out.

At this moment, Ling Xiaofeng had no idea what Mu Yu was thinking.

At the same time, he didn't know whether Mu Yu was just saying it casually or was reminding him to thank them for finding the Thunder Bamboo seedlings for him.

But whatever the outcome, the couple finally had a glimmer of hope.

Although he did not obtain the specific method for obtaining the "Dan Spirit Root", Ling Xiaofeng had once searched for a method called "Weapon Spirit Root" in order to solve the spiritual root limitation of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light in his early years.

Although there are some differences between the two, a little deduction might yield some results.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiaofeng wished he could go back immediately to study the secret technique.

But after seeing Mu Yu refining pills, Ling Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment before suppressing his restless mind and body.

First of all, this old monster in the "Nascent Soul stage" is still refining pills. What if I leave directly and anger him?

Secondly, even if the Danling Root is truly effective, the couple doesn't have much lifespan left, and it's time to consider the issue of having descendants.

If we don't consider anything, wouldn't this huge star palace just be given to outsiders for nothing?

Alchemy was something Mu Yu was already quite skilled at, and with the guidance of her innate talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, there was almost no possibility of failure.

Ling Xiaofeng stared at Mu Yu in a daze, watching the flowing magic incantation, and finally understood what a true alchemy master was.

How could an old monster who isn't at the Nascent Soul stage possibly achieve this level?

The rumors among those Core Formation stage cultivators were not only true, but also failed to capture the extent of the person's superb alchemy skills.

"Good luck. Now we'll see if this pill can successfully and perfectly fuse with the spiritual essence carried by this level ten demon core."

Before opening the furnace, Mu Yu cast a spell to throw the level 10 demon core into the furnace.

But after being thrown in, the level 10 demon core only spun around in the furnace fire once before being taken out.

The level 10 demon core appeared unchanged, but Ling Xiaofeng could sense that something indescribable had been absorbed by the Qi-Nourishing Pill in the furnace.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Yu opened the furnace and collected the elixir, completing the task in one go.

"Alright, this is the Nourishing Essence Pill, also known as the Immortal Shaping Pill. Senior, please check if it matches the records in the classics."

At this moment, the Qi-Nourishing Pill was shimmering with spiritual light, as if it were the light emitted when testing one's spiritual root.

"Yes, this is it."

"In that case, I will not disturb Master Mu's cultivation any longer."

After picking up the Qi-Nourishing Pill, Ling Xiaofeng chose to leave without any further complications.

After Ling Xiaofeng completely left Mu Yu's cave, Mu Yu activated the formation, released his divine sense to carefully sense the cave, and then checked the status of his auspicious and inauspicious talent.

"Wait... are the Star Palace Twin Saints really that easy to talk to?"

Things progressed more smoothly than Mu Yu had imagined.

He had already prepared to temporarily join the Star Palace, and even devised several solutions for dealing with the difficulties posed by the Star Palace's two saints, but now...

For a moment, Mu Yu even wondered if she was under some kind of illusion.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Yu eagerly focused all her attention on her talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, and carefully sensed it.

First, check if your life is safe in the short term—this is an auspicious sign.

Very good. Now try leaving immediately – a good omen.

Huh? What does it mean to choose to join a star palace – auspicious yet inauspicious?

To confess one's identity to the two Saints of the Star Palace? — Ominous!

Leaked green bottle? — A very bad omen!

Going to curse the two Star Saints—is that actually a good omen? What's going on?

Try again...

It took Mu Yu some time to make various attempts.

Through the arrangement and combination of some information, Mu Yu was surprised to find that the Star Palace Twin Saints had an unusually high tolerance for him, and that if he joined the Star Palace, he would even reap unknown and enormous benefits.

However, Mu Yu could not confirm the specific reason using his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

Surely it's not that my alchemy talent is too strong, which is why this situation occurred.

Don't be ridiculous. The best outcome for a master alchemist without real skill is to be captured and forced into hard labor.

After sensing his auspicious and inauspicious talent once again and confirming it was a lucky omen, Mu Yu swaggered out of the cave and headed to the Miaoyin Sect.

……

"Next, I will be leaving Tianxing City for a while, and the alchemy project will be suspended."

Mu Yu handed over a portion of the finished alchemy products, and then gave Zhou Yuan some instructions.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan wanted to ask something, but after hesitating for a moment, she gave up.

"In that case, I wish Elder Mu all the best. If there is anything I can do to help you, please don't hesitate to ask."

Mu Yu nodded casually, and without any intention of concealing himself, he simply transformed into a streak of light and left Tianxing City.

On the highest level of the sacred mountain in Tianxing City, Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the message from their subordinates.

This old monster, who had reached the Nascent Soul stage, finally departed.

Although I know the other party probably doesn't mean any harm, the thought of having such a person around me still makes me feel uneasy.

After issuing the order that no one under the Star Palace was allowed to do anything that would provoke Mu Yu, Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing began their seclusion.

After leaving Tianxing City, Mu Yu flew all the way, stopping from time to time to land on a deserted island and set up an array.

But more than three months have passed, and apart from occasionally encountering some monsters, Mu Yu has not encountered any trace of enemies.

Only now did Mu Yu finally confirm that the Star Palace Twin Saints seemed to have no means of targeting him.

After hesitating for a moment, Mu Yu still took a long detour, preparing to return to Tiannan via the ancient teleportation array.

Just as Mu Yu was lamenting that his flight speed at the Core Formation stage was somewhat slow and envying Han Li's Wind and Thunder Wings at the late stage, his heart suddenly tightened, and an ominous premonition surged into his mind.

Immediately, Mu Yu stopped his escape and carefully determined the source of the ominous sign.

Ahead lies a tale of both danger and good fortune.

The right side is auspicious but fraught with misfortune.

The left side is neither auspicious nor inauspicious.

Is this... being surrounded?

Why would the people of the Star Palace, or some other force, choose this time...?

Mu Yu stood there for a moment, pondering, then flew to a nearby isolated island and began setting up an array.

Before long, the Reversed Five Elements Formation was completed.

Based on the advice to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, the person who came should not be in the Nascent Soul stage; otherwise, the ominous signs should not be so weak, and the auspicious signs should not be so weak as well.

If it's the Core Formation stage, then there's no need to run.

However, we still need to be careful to avoid making a mistake.

Transforming back into a streak of light, Mu Yu continued along the original path, and soon detected a few fluctuations of spiritual energy in the distance.
