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

After a period of seclusion and cultivation, Mu Yu successfully returned to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

For those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots, bottlenecks? Slow cultivation speed? They don't exist. As long as there are enough pills, their cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds.

Originally, Mu Yu intended to continue cultivating, but the opening of the Blood Trial made him stop his cultivation.

He has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so he can't go to the Crimson Trial, nor is there any need for him to go.

As for Nangong Wan...

Not to mention that Mu Yu himself had no interest, even if he intercepted it now, it would probably be snatched away by the Lord of the Samsara Palace once they arrived in the Immortal Realm.

Therefore, there is no need to do such a trivial thing.

Upon arriving at Old Man Ma's herb garden, Mu Yu met Han Li once again.

Upon meeting, Han Li couldn't wait to ask:

"Brother Mu, with my aptitude, will two Foundation Establishment Pills be enough to successfully establish my foundation?"

Clearly, Han Li should have already killed Senior Brother Lu, who possessed the wind spirit root, and rescued Chen Qiaoqian.

Mu Yu gave Han Li a strange look, but instead of answering his question immediately, she said:

"Han Li, how does Chen Qiaoqian feel?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li's otherwise unremarkable face instantly flushed red.

"You...you...how can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?"

"At that time...she got pregnant..."

Han Li tried to explain, but faced with Mu Yu's ambiguous smile, he couldn't continue his explanation.

In the end, Han Li could only sigh resignedly, lower his head, and remain silent.

"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore."

"This bloody trial holds a great opportunity for you."

"As for how many Foundation Establishment Pills you need..."

As Mu Yu spoke, she gestured the number "eight" with her hand.

Upon seeing this, the glimmer of hope that had welled up in Han Li's heart vanished completely.

Although I've known for a long time that I'm not very talented, eight... isn't that a bit too outrageous?

"Alright, there's a reason for the eight or so... in the future I've seen..."

"It's because your alchemy skills aren't very good. The Foundation Establishment Pill you made was a little smaller than a regular Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Secondly, you didn't take the Foundation Establishment Pills according to the normal procedure, but swallowed eight at once to successfully establish your foundation."

"If we don't waste medicinal herbs, and I refine the pills for you, we can probably save two or three pills?"

Mu Yu's words did not improve Han Li's mood.

Does it make a difference to him whether there are five or eight?

After feeling depressed for a while, Han Li finally managed to calm himself down.

"Brother Mu, in this blood-red trial, I..."

Han Li was still somewhat apprehensive about participating in such a dangerous event.

The saying goes, "To live in the face of death," meaning that if there are no other options, one should naturally take a gamble.

But now, with Mu Yu present, another thought has arisen in Han Li's mind.

"I suggest you go..."

"Although I can ask my master for a few more Foundation Establishment Pills, participating in the Crimson Trial will be beneficial to you."

"The choice is up to you."

"Don't worry, even if you don't go, I will ask my master for enough Foundation Establishment Pills for you."

Hearing Mu Yu's words, the panic in Han Li's heart suddenly vanished completely, replaced by a sense of peace.

"Oh my god..."

As Han Li spoke, he pulled a small leather bag from his chest and solemnly handed it to Mu Yu.

Mu Yu knew very well that the small cloth bag contained the Heavenly Bottle, but he never expected that Han Li would actually give him such a thing.

"You won't be in any danger, there's no need to give me this."

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yu finally spoke up to explain.

Han Li's expression showed some struggle at this moment. He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I believe you..."

"With your current power and status, this thing will be yours sooner or later, if you want it."

"To be honest, I've always been a little worried about this."

"This thing is useless in a place like the Crimson Trial. Rather than letting me waste my chances, you can keep it. If you can find a way to preserve the green liquid, that would be even better."

After saying these words, Han Li felt much more relaxed.

After closing his eyes and sensing his talent for avoiding misfortune and finding no problems, Mu Yu hung it around his neck.

"I understand. Then I'll wait for you to come back, and you can keep this thing safe."

A day later, Han Li set off to participate in the Blood Trial, handing over a large pile of various thousand-year-old spiritual herbs to Mu Yu before leaving.

Mu Yu originally wanted to go and see Xiang Zhili, who had transformed into an old monster, but the ominous signs from the "seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune" campaign made him give up the idea.

After sensing it for a moment, Mu Yu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The perception of a Nascent Soul stage expert is truly too sharp.

If Mu Yu were to meet Xiang Zhili, then no matter how well Mu Yu tried to conceal her expression upon seeing him, Xiang Zhili would surely notice something amiss.

By then, being caught and having one's soul searched will be the least of one's worries.

Therefore, Mu Yu should not see any Nascent Soul stage monsters before reaching the late Nascent Soul stage.

……

After obtaining the Heavenly Bottle, Mu Yu returned to his cave. Sensing safety through his ability to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune, he began the experiment of preserving the green liquid.

Normally, the green liquid will only last for a quarter of an hour after being taken out of the Palm Heaven Bottle, but some magical artifacts that can imprison spiritual energy can extend this time to more than a day.

Three days later, Mu Yu chose to give up.

Magical treasures, magical artifacts, and formations have no effect. To preserve the green liquid in this Heavenly Palm Bottle, it is estimated that only a supreme treasure of the Mysterious Heaven, or even after becoming an immortal, can do so.

Seven or eight days later, Han Li successfully returned from the Blood Trial.

Mu Yu also received the task of refining Foundation Establishment Pills from Linghu Laoguai.

Yes, that's right. Huangfeng Valley doesn't actually have any alchemists capable of refining Foundation Establishment Pills. They usually entrust other sects' alchemy masters to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

It's not that Huangfeng Valley doesn't have any alchemists, it's just that they don't have alchemists with a high enough success rate.

Even now, Mu Yu still remembers the impatient expression on Linghu Laoguai's face when he was teaching her alchemy, and how it changed to a look of utter disbelief later on.

There's no way around it; using one's talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune to cultivate these miscellaneous skills is far too easy.

As long as this thing has a chance of not failing, with the blessing of his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, Mu Yu can achieve that one and only successful outcome.

In other words, the environment in the human realm and the spirit realm is too harsh; otherwise, Mu Yu would not have needed to plot against the existence of the Heavenly Bottle.

……

Under the pretext of recruiting alchemy laborers, Mu Yu brought Han Li to his cave dwelling.

As soon as Han Li entered Mu Yu's cave, he was choked by the extremely dense spiritual energy, and his eyes were full of envy.

"Forget it, you can only stay in this cave for a few months at most."

"Once you've established your foundation and opened your cave dwelling, I can give you a small-scale Spirit Eye Spring."

Seeing Han Li's envious gaze, Mu Yu spoke up.

Han Li quickly regained his composure, opened the storage bag in his hand, and poured out a large pile of jade boxes...

Looking at the seedlings of Chalcedony Ganoderma, Heavenly Spirit Fruit, and Purple Monkey Flower in the jade box, Mu Yu was speechless.

"Using green liquid on something like this... don't you think that's incredibly wasteful?"

After casually placing a few restrictions on the jade box, Mu Yu returned it to Han Li and said:

"Alright, leave the Foundation Establishment Pill to me. You take care of watering the Spirit Eye Tree for me these next few days..."

After Han Li entered the Crimson Trial, Mu Yu cut a root from the Spirit Eye Tree, which was about the thickness of a wrist, and began to accelerate its growth using the green liquid in the Palm Heaven Bottle.

Now that I'm going to refine a batch of Foundation Establishment Pills, I might as well entrust the task of accelerating the growth of the Spirit Eye Tree to Han Li.
