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

Because he was followed by dozens of puppets, Mu Yu made a lot of noise while traveling, which attracted many ghosts and monsters.

Although these monsters look strange, they are quite powerful, almost all of them reaching the Core Formation stage.

Even the Soul-Crying Beast, which is born to devour ghosts and suck souls, would find it difficult to deal with this level of ghost.

So, Mu Yu released a Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, and after severely injuring the Core Formation stage ghost in a few moves, he threw it back to the Crying Soul Beast to devour.

Although the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword is a set of magical treasures, its power is no less than that of ordinary magical treasures when used individually.

Moreover, this was without Mu Yu using the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder.

"To have killed a ghost of the same level so easily, young friend's strength is probably not much different from that of us Nascent Soul stage cultivators."

"if……"

"Eh, this is... a Soul-Crying Beast? Young friend, you certainly have a keen interest, daring to raise such an ominous beast."

The voice of Qingyi Jushi rang out not far away. Although Mu Yu was separated by a layer of ghostly mist, he could still see the other party's specific appearance if he used the Mingqing Spiritual Eye.

Mu Yu glanced at it indifferently and said:

"I thought Senior Qingyi was hiding to the side, planning to ambush me."

"Unfortunately, the puppet combination attack technique that I painstakingly developed has not been put to any use."

As Mu Yu spoke, the magic arrays that concealed the spiritual energy fluctuations on the dozens of puppets behind him suddenly dissipated, and dozens of spiritual energy fluctuations that were ready to be unleashed appeared in Qingyi Jushi's perception.

Qingyi Jushi was startled by Mu Yu's sudden action, and couldn't help but feel secretly relieved.

Thank goodness I didn't lay a hand on them!

Otherwise, even if you kill the other party, you will definitely not get any benefit.

No one knows what this person's background is, but he actually possesses a kind of energy-concealing formation that even he cannot detect, and he can even use puppets to set up the formation. This is a rare technique.

If he hadn't revealed his location and had instead been preparing to launch a sneak attack, he might have been the first one seriously injured.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't be able to withstand the full force of dozens of Core Formation stage puppets without any preparation.

"Young friend, you jest. I have absolutely no intention of targeting you."

The figure of Qingyi Jushi emerged from the ghostly mist, glancing warily at the puppets poised to strike.

Upon seeing this, Mu Yu quietly took two steps back.

"Senior Qingyi, it's best if you don't get too close to me, lest I misunderstand."

"If there is anything you need, please feel free to speak, Senior Qingyi."

"If you intend to kill me and steal my treasure, I am not afraid."

Looking at Mu Yu's extremely wary appearance, Qingyi Jushi's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration.

"In that case, I'll get straight to the point."

"Since you are proficient in puppetry, you must have more than just these puppets at your disposal."

"I possess a Azure Nether Needle Talisman treasure, and I would like to exchange it for three puppets at the Core Formation stage. How about that?"

Qingyi Jushi took out a talisman from his storage bag and threw it directly to Mu Yu.

With Mu Yu's current level of spiritual awareness, he could easily discern whether there was any mark left on the Azure Needle.

After observing carefully for a moment, Mu Yu said, "Exchanging one Azure Needle Talisman for three Core Formation stage puppets is a good deal."

"But I've done some special treatment on these puppets, so they can self-destruct under my control at critical moments, and their power is no less than that of a Core Formation stage demon beast of the same level self-destructing."

"Therefore, one Azure Needle Talisman Treasure is not enough."

"If you don't believe me, you can investigate it yourself."

Mu Yu took out a brand new puppet from his storage bag and threw it to Qingyi Jushi as well.

At this moment, Qingyi Jushi held the puppet that Mu Yu had just thrown over in his hand, feeling as if he were holding a Core Formation stage demon beast that could self-destruct at any moment.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would not fare well if struck at close range.

Not to mention, the other side has dozens, or even hundreds, of these things.

Carefully probing his divine sense into the puppet in his hand, Qingyi Jushi was able to sense at a glance that this puppet was no ordinary thing.

Qingyi Jushi could not discern much, but in addition to being powered by hundreds of mid-grade spirit stones, the puppet also had a miniature array embedded inside.

The core of the miniature array is a specially treated seventh-level demon beast's inner core, which, through a very ingenious method, has managed to mimic the appearance of a demon beast.

It's hard to say about other things, but if the miniature array inside this puppet were to be detonated, it would certainly unleash a power similar to that of a Core Formation stage demon beast self-destructing.

"Excellent tactic! How about I trade two puppets for one Azure Needle Talisman? Even for me now, this item is quite valuable."

Initially, Master Qingyi used the Azure Needle Talisman to exchange for three puppets, intending to establish a good karmic connection.

But now it has become a normal transaction, and Qingyi Jushi himself has even subtly gained some advantages.

But Qingyi Jushi really couldn't bear to part with this puppet that could unleash the self-destructive power of a Core Formation stage demon beast.

In other words, there aren't many Azure Needle Talismans available, and the other party might not agree.

Otherwise, having dozens of them would be a trump card against cultivators of the same level.

As for robbing? Let's forget about it.

Qingyi Jushi admitted that he was somewhat afraid of the dozens of puppets behind Mu Yu.

If all these things rush in at once, there's a good chance he'll perish here.

What worries Qingyi Jushi even more is that Mu Yu may possess more than one method that can target Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Its backing is even more immeasurable; things could easily go wrong...

"Yes, I've heard of the Azure Needle."

Mu Yu took out three Core Formation stage puppets from his storage bag and threw them over without hesitation.

Similarly, Master Qingyi threw over another Azure Needle Talisman.

After the transaction was completed, Qingyi Jushi hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything. He randomly chose a direction and left.

After Qingyi Jushi left, Mu Yu used his divine sense to search the surroundings. After confirming that it was safe, he chose to proceed in another direction.

The deal with Qingyi Jushi was quite worthwhile; this level of talisman treasure was enough to disrupt a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Mu Yu continued his journey through the ghostly mist, occasionally encountering some ghosts at the Core Formation stage, which he would beat half to death before feeding them to the Crying Soul Beast.

After devouring a large number of ghosts, the aura of the Soul-Crying Beast became increasingly powerful.

Seeing this, Mu Yu was not in a hurry to leave the ghostly mist.

Instead, it wanders around aimlessly, attracting ghosts and monsters, which it then kills one by one and feeds to the Soul-Crying Beast.
