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

Tainan Valley is merely a gathering place for Qi Refining stage cultivators to trade; it doesn't even qualify as the smallest market.

Mu Yu was naturally uninterested in this kind of gathering, but Han Li, being a novice, was very curious about it.

So, Mu Yu gave Han Li several dozen spirit stones and told him to go and join in the fun.

I also mentioned some trivial matters that were about to happen, such as the talisman brushes that Han Yunzhi was selling.

Although Mu Yu had made a vow with Han Li to overcome his inner demons, he still needed to show off his abilities from time to time to prevent Han Li from having any other ideas.

Next, Han Li wandered around the various stalls by himself, while Mu Yu went to a corner of Tai Nan Valley and spent a few spirit stones to rent a building.

The Tainan Valley gathering is quite long, with more than ten days remaining before it ends.

During this period, Mu Yu cultivated alone, and in just four or five days, he reached the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage, the same level as Han Li at this moment.

After witnessing Mu Yu's successive breakthroughs, Han Li finally understood the difference between spiritual roots.

He consumed pills almost without limit every day and cultivated diligently for eight or nine years before reaching the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage.

Mu Yu, in less than a month, cultivated from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the same level as himself.

This speed gave Han Li an extremely unreal feeling.

Coincidentally, the repeated failures in drawing spirit talismans left Han Li feeling extremely frustrated. For the next few days, he didn't even feel like going out for a stroll and, like Mu Yu, hid in his room to cultivate.

Mu Yu, on the other hand, did the exact opposite. After Han Li gave up making talismans, he asked for blank talisman paper and the Golden Bamboo Talisman Pen and began to try making talismans.

Helpless, Mu Yu dared not cultivate any further. If he didn't control his cultivation speed, Mu Yu felt that he was about to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

With the Heavenly Spiritual Root and ample elixirs, his cultivation speed was somewhat outrageous.

Although she possessed the talent to avoid misfortune and attract good fortune, Mu Yu was still worried that her rapid cultivation might lead to some hidden dangers, so she decided to make talismans to pass the time.

On the other hand, after several days of arduous training, Han had to admit that there are differences between people.

After emerging from seclusion, Han Li was even more shocked by the large number of spirit talismans thrown at him by Mu Yu.

You should know that he has almost never succeeded in drawing talismans.

"Brother Mu, is the difference in talent between people really that vast?"

Looking at the thick stack of various talismans in his hand, Han Li's expression was particularly strange.

In response, Mu Yu calmly replied:

"Of course, you should be quite clear about what I am capable of with my talent, and what you know now is just the tip of the iceberg."

Hearing Mu Yu's words, Han Li was speechless for a moment.

In fact, Mu Yu possesses a talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune. When drawing talismans, he can sense in his heart when he will succeed and when he will fail.

In this way, the extremely high success rate naturally becomes insignificant.

As for the issue of cultivation...

Mu Yu decided to start cultivating seriously after joining Huangfeng Valley.

That's right, it's Huangfeng Valley. Although Old Man Linghu has bad habits like abandoning his disciples, and there are troublesome things like Huangfeng Valley moving.

However, he possesses a Heavenly Spiritual Root, with an almost 100% chance of forming a Core, so he is naturally treated like a treasure and pampered.

As for possession or anything like that, there's absolutely no need to worry about it.

Possession in this world does not increase lifespan. Linghu Ancestor's lifespan was already limited, so even if he encountered a situation requiring possession, it shouldn't consume such a heavenly spiritual root as his.

When old man Linghu's lifespan is exhausted, the entire Yellow Maple Valley will belong to him.

However, if one goes to other sects, all sorts of messy schemes and plots are bound to happen, just like Yan Ruyan's situation.

If you're unlucky, it's not impossible for someone to be possessed by a Nascent Soul stage monster who has lost their physical body.

After all, a Heavenly Spiritual Root is merely rare, not some kind of get-out-of-jail-free card.

Cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots are not like Han Li, who remained unknown; their appearance inevitably caused a lot of trouble.

In such a situation, even if one possesses the talent to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune, it would still take a lot of time, and there is even a possibility of unexpected setbacks.

Although joining Huangfeng Valley is also a gamble, some troubles can be avoided if one can become a disciple of Linghu Laoguai.

Of course, more importantly, given the innate ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, joining Huangfeng Valley and becoming an apprentice of Linghu Laozu is indeed a good choice.

……

A few days later, the Tainan Mountain meeting finally came to an end.

After discussing it, Han Li and Mu Yu decided to go directly to Huangfeng Valley and use the Ascension Token to become disciples.

In the original story, Han Li only learned about the Ascension Conference but did not participate. Instead, he went to Huangfeng Valley alone with the Ascension Token.

And now, Mu Yu naturally doesn't need to take him to join in any fun.

You must know that I possess a Heavenly Spiritual Root. If I were captured by other cultivators, they would definitely take me under their wing immediately.

As for who will use the Ascension Token, it will naturally be Han Li.

As someone with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, if Mu Yu wanted to join a sect, absolutely no one would refuse him.

"Han Li, someone will attack us later. Will you take action, or should I do it?"

Not long after leaving the Tiannan Mountain area, Mu Yu's talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune sensed something.

After recalling the original story and realizing that the attackers were just some Qi Refining stage cultivators, Mu Yu didn't care much and casually spoke to Han Li.

Mu Yu has always been reinforcing the impression that she can predict the future, which is also a way of demonstrating her value.

With her innate talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, coupled with her understanding of the original work, Mu Yu had absolutely no need to lie and could perfectly play the role she once played.

After all, if there isn't enough value, why should Han Li share the Heavenly Bottle with him?

Upon hearing Mu Yu's reminder, Han Li's expression immediately became tense.

Unlike the later Han Laomo, Han Li at this moment had no experience fighting against cultivators except for facing Jin Guang Shangren, a novice even weaker than himself.

Therefore, tension is inevitable.

Having received careful instruction from Mo Juren, Han Li, though somewhat nervous, quickly calmed down. While preparing, he pondered the identity of his enemy.

"Brother Mu, could you cover for me this time?"

Han Li roughly figured out the enemy's identity. He originally wanted to have someone beside him take action, but after thinking about it again, he changed his mind.

"Of course, but there are quite a few of us on this trip. How about I leave two for you?"

Mu Yu spoke casually.

Han Li naturally had no objections, but the two waited for a long time without encountering any trace of enemies.

Just as Han Li was about to ask a question, he suddenly noticed seven figures flashing past behind him, the leader of whom was naturally the Qingwen Daoist whom Han Li was very familiar with.

In an instant, Han Li cleared his mind and realized that he had made the mistake of lacking experience.

"Brother Mu, the enemy numbers are rather large. You..."

Before Han Li could finish speaking, Mu Yu's figure had already disappeared.

Looking up again, they saw that Mu Yu was actually piloting the green leaf magic weapon and flying towards the other party.

This speed greatly surprised Han Li.

If he were to be pursued at that speed, he would have absolutely no hope of escaping.

Han Li hesitated for a moment, then took out the gray sword talisman from his pocket, making sure it was ready to be activated at any time, before chasing after them.

However, by the time Han Li arrived, the battle was almost over.

It was only a dozen breaths behind, but the scene had already become a complete mess.

Everywhere were jagged sword marks, interspersed with some gray-black explosion traces. Although it was messy, Han Li could already glimpse Mu Yu's formidable combat power from them.

After a quick glance, Han Li had a fairly good grasp of the situation.

Most of the marks on the ground were made by these pursuers.

The spells that Mu Yu used should only be two types. One was an extremely subtle wooden spike spell, which precisely broke through the opponent's defense.

The other type is a powerful spell or magical artifact.

In any case, judging from the marks left on the ground by the corpses, it looked exactly like they had been crushed by boulders, which was particularly tragic.

"There are two left, so I'll leave them to you."

"These rogue cultivators don't have any powerful magical artifacts or techniques, and their spells are terrible. Although they engage in robbery and plunder, they are all a bunch of poor bastards."

Mu Yu spoke in a nonchalant tone, putting immense pressure on the two remaining cultivators.

The Taoist priest named Qingwen completely lost his will to fight.

"Second...Second seniors, I was blind and did not recognize your greatness. I have important information about the Tribulation Cultivator. I wonder if you could spare my life?"

Qingwen begged for mercy, but at the same time he was trying to find a way to escape.

They are both at the Qi Refining stage. If he finds an opportunity, he might be able to escape with his life.

"Han Li, kill them all!"
