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

"The constitution you possess is called the Yin Constitution."

"Unfortunately, this physique is of no use to your cultivation, but it is an extremely precious treasure to a certain senior."

"But don't worry, you won't be in any danger to your life; on the contrary, you will have a great opportunity."

"I don't deny the idea of ​​treating you as merchandise, and I guarantee your life won't be in danger."

"At the same time, that matter can only be done after you ascend to the Spirit Realm."

"So... until I figure out a way to get you to the Spirit Realm, I will provide you with all the pills, cultivation techniques, and everything else you need for cultivation free of charge."

"I only have one request of you, and that is not to try to betray me."

Mu Yu has no interest in manipulating people's hearts, nor will he use falsehoods or deceptions; that would be the worst approach.

The best decision would be to tell Yuan Yao the truth and let her make her own choice.

As for the potential betrayal...

Mu Yu didn't care. All he needed was for Yuan Yao to be alive. Nothing else mattered.

On the contrary, Mu Yu was more worried that Yuan Yao would not be able to overcome the inner demons of the Nascent Soul stage. If Yuan Yao died before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, all his plans would come to naught.

Mu Yu's words startled Yuan Yao so much that she stood there stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.

After hearing those words, Yuan Yao's first thought was to suspect that Mu Yu was a liar or some kind of madman.

At this moment, in Yuan Yao's mind, a Core Formation stage cultivator was already considered a big shot, and a Nascent Soul stage cultivator was an even more untouchable existence.

And now, someone is actually telling her that they will take her to ascend to the spirit world, and they are even saying such ambiguous things, which is just like the tricks of some street swindlers.

But... what could she possibly be lying about?

Wealth? She was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, penniless.

Lust? With just a word from the Core Formation cultivator in front of her, Yuan Yao would be eager to offer herself up immediately.

Could it be that he's simply playing with himself?

In the secular world, Yuan Yao had heard of certain old monsters who liked to play pranks on people, but this kind of thing...

Even if she's being played, as long as it helps her achieve the Core Formation stage, it doesn't matter.

After a rapid mental search, Yuan Yao immediately agreed, fearing that Mu Yu's words were just a joke.

"Oh? You accepted it pretty quickly. Don't you need some time to think about it?"

Mu Yu was unaware of Yuan Yao's thoughts at that moment, and her reminder was meant to prevent Yuan Yao from overthinking things later.

Sometimes, the saying "a little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment" is quite common.

"Replying to Senior, there's nothing to consider."

"My senior sister and I both came from small sects, and we know that in this world, resources are everything."

"Without sufficient resources, let alone... ascending to the Spirit Realm."

When the words "ascend to the Spirit Realm" were mentioned, Yuan Yao subconsciously swallowed. Although she didn't really believe it at the moment, she couldn't help but feel a longing for it.

"Let alone ascending to the Spirit Realm, even breaking through to the Core Formation stage is absolutely impossible."

"So, whether you're really toying with me or genuinely want to make that kind of deal with me, it's the same choice for Yuan Yao."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu nodded without offering any further explanation.

"Whether you believe me or not is not important; I'll take that as a yes. I don't like lying, so I don't want others to lie to me either."

"Next, let's make a vow against our inner demons."

Mu Yu spoke, recounting for Yuan Yao the conditions of the Heart Demon Oath, and the hard condition that if it was violated, her cultivation would not advance in the future.

Yuan Yao made the oath against her inner demons without any psychological burden.

This is probably what they mean by "poor but reckless." Since they have nothing now, inner demons and vows are no longer important.

"Very good. Although you may not understand now, I really hope you remember what I said before."

After giving her a reminder, Mu Yu tossed Yuan Yao a storage bag filled with various pills, magical artifacts, talismans, and other items for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

"Recently, I haven't had many Core Formation stage spiritual herbs left. The ones in my storage bag are enough for you and your senior sister to cultivate to the Core Formation stage."

"Once you reach the Core Formation stage, I will replenish the necessary spiritual herbs for you."

"I hope you can live up to expectations and at least successfully form your Nascent Soul."

"Otherwise, all my investments would be wasted."

The moment Yuan Yao probed her consciousness into the storage bag, the smile on her face never stopped.

As for Mu Yu's talk about Nascent Soul, it was far too distant for Yuan Yao, and she didn't take it seriously at all.

……

After waving away Yuan Yao, who was lost in ecstasy, Mu Yu sent a telepathic message for Han Li to come in.

"Han Li, you've done a great job. This is the Heaven-Mending Pill; you can consume and refine it directly."

Mu Yu took out the nine small, five-colored beads from Ji Xuan from her storage bag and tossed them to Han Li without a second thought.

The Heaven-Mending Pill has no effect on those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots.

But for someone like Han Li with a pseudo-spiritual root, it was almost like a complete transformation.

It should be noted that in the cultivation world of Tiannan, the essential requirement for joining a cultivation sect is having three spiritual roots.

People like Han Li, who possess four spiritual roots, only have the best chance of joining a sect if they are extremely lucky; most of the rest become rogue cultivators.

Han Li carefully placed the nine small, five-colored beads into his storage bag, his eyes brimming with undisguised satisfaction.

Although he has been busy with this for more than ten years, Han Li has not neglected his cultivation too much. Now, he has completed more than 30% of the third level of the Great Evolution Technique.

"Have you gone out to sea to kill any monsters recently?"

Knowing the chances were slim, Mu Yu still asked anyway.

Sure enough, Han Li had been busy searching for Yuan Yao's whereabouts for the past ten years or so, so he had no time to go out to sea to hunt monsters.

"Bad news: I've run out of Core Formation stage pills."

"Although we have quite a few spirit stones, at the rate at which the two of us consume pills, if we only use spirit stones to buy them, we'll easily attract the attention of Nascent Soul stage monsters."

"So, you'll have to go and hunt down the monsters."

At this moment, Han Li was still immersed in the joy of his impending improvement in spiritual root aptitude, and subconsciously replied, "Okay!"

After answering, Han Li realized what had happened.

However, he didn't seem to care.

Han Li has been working for Mu Yu for years and has almost gotten used to it. If it weren't for Mu Yu, alchemy alone would be enough to give him a headache.

"Yes, these are some formations that are enough to temporarily trap Nascent Soul stage cultivators. There are only three sets in total. Two of them are the Reversal of the Five Elements Formation. One set has been restored by 50%, and the other set has been restored by about 70% of its power."

"Under normal circumstances, you only need to use the 50% set; setting up the 70% set would probably be very difficult."

"There are also 200,000 Gold-Eating Insect eggs, and spirit stones in two storage bags..."

Looking at these items, which were worth dozens of times more than his own net worth, Han Li felt a sense of relief for the first time regarding his choice many years ago.

He gave so much!
