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

Leaving the Green Footprint Swamp with Silver Moon, Silver Moon kept exclaiming and shouting as she looked at the surrounding scenery.

It should be noted that even Han Li, who was in the late stage of Core Formation, could not see the outside world when Mu Yu carried him away.

The spirit fox possessed by Silver Moon was only at the second level of cultivation, yet it could see the outside world through Mu Yu's escape light.

Sure enough, even a half-soul body at the Nascent Soul stage possesses some special abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people.

I need to be careful in the future, and make sure she doesn't discover Han Li's little green bottle.

"You're just a low-level demon beast right now, don't reveal your identity."

Before entering the Hundred Crafts Courtyard, Mu Yu gave Yin Yue a reminder.

Because he had not formally submitted a letter of invitation or given prior notice, Mu Yu was intercepted by the Fiery Old Monster and the old man surnamed Ding as soon as he arrived in the territory of the Hundred Crafts Academy.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Mu Yu did not suppress his aura at all.

If you intend to hide it, it won't be so easy to be discovered.

If a strange early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly appears within the territory of one's sect, they will naturally be intercepted.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Liehuo, Fellow Daoist Ding. I am Mu Yu from Huangfeng Valley. I have come uninvited to make a deal with your sect."

As Mu Yu spoke, he took out a high-level weapon-refining manual from his storage bag, placed a restriction on it, and threw it over.

This high-level weapon-refining manual was the one that was traded through the Miaoyin Sect.

"Could this item help me solve a problem?"

The Fiery Old Monster's divine sense swept over the area briefly, and he immediately realized something, causing his expression to change strangely.

"So it's the recently renowned Fellow Daoist Mu. May I ask what problem Fellow Daoist Mu intends to solve with this weapon-refining manual?"

Forcibly suppressing his excitement, the Fiery Old Monster was already quite impatient.

If this transaction is successful, not only will their Hundred Crafts Academy gain another powerful weapon-refining technique, but his own weapon-refining skills will also be greatly enhanced.

"It's very simple. I intend to refine a second Nascent Soul, but I'm worried that it might go out of control. Does your esteemed institution possess a method for refining a secret treasure that allows Nascent Souls to communicate with each other?"

Mu Yu asked her question very directly.

Creating five second Nascent Souls would certainly present many challenges, but for Mu Yu, the biggest hurdle was how to ensure that the thoughts of the other Nascent Souls were highly unified with the original body.

After all, if the five Nascent Soul cultivators rebelled together, Mu Yu would have no chance to suppress them again.

In fact, Mu Yu doesn't need five Nascent Souls that can move freely, but he does need five Nascent Soul puppets that are completely under his control.

"A second Nascent Soul?!"

Upon hearing the words "Second Nascent Soul," both the Fiery Old Monster and the old man surnamed Ding instinctively gasped.

It should be noted that the technique of creating a second Nascent Soul is considered a forbidden method even among Nascent Soul cultivators, because the material used to create a second Nascent Soul requires the Nascent Soul of another cultivator as the main material.

Those who were able to obtain the Nascent Soul of other cultivators were all individuals with astonishing supernatural abilities.

After all, it's already difficult for an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator to kill someone of the same level, let alone capture their Nascent Soul.

This is quite consistent with Mu Yu's recent fame.

"My Hundred Treasures Institute does have quite a few that allow for telepathic communication, but there shouldn't be such a thing as a treasure that allows for constant telepathic communication."

After thinking for a moment, the Fiery Old Monster answered.

At this moment, the elderly man surnamed Ding suddenly spoke up: "Actually... it's not that there's no way."

Upon hearing this, both the Fiery Old Monster and Mu Yu looked at the old man surnamed Ding.

"Senior Brother Liehuo, do you still remember that ancient treasure, the Love Lock?"

Upon hearing this, the old monster of raging fire looked somewhat strange, but still spoke to Mu Yu:

"In the traditions of the Hundred Crafts Institute, there is indeed an ancient method for crafting a treasure called the Heart Lock, but this treasure..."

"Alright, fellow Daoist, you should see for yourself."

After the old monster Crimson Fire finished speaking, he took out a jade slip and recorded the crafting method and effects of the ancient treasure of the Heart-Loving Lock on it, and handed it to Mu Yu.

After examining the ancient treasure, the Love Lock, Mu Yu understood the reason behind the strange expression on the Crimson Fire Old Monster's face.

Although this love lock is a magical artifact, it has no other functions except to enable two people to communicate their thoughts and enhance their abilities.

If Mu Yu simply refines this treasure without making any modifications, the ultimate result might be that he falls in love with one of his other Nascent Souls.

"Hiss, what a vicious magic weapon. If it weren't for the fact that both parties must be willing to use it, it would surely cause chaos in the cultivation world."

"However, this thing is indeed somewhat useful to me, but removing the effects other than the 'Unity' effect is a bit difficult."

"Does the Hundred Crafts Institute have any other similar magical artifacts?"

In the end, Mu Yu used the high-level weapon-refining manual he bought in the Chaotic Star Sea to exchange for the crafting methods of seven special functional magic treasures similar to the Heart Lock from the Hundred Crafts Academy.

After that, Mu Yu stayed at Baiqiao Courtyard for about two months, discussing the art of weapon crafting with Old Monster Chihuo and others for a period of time.

After discussing with these Nascent Soul stage cultivators who had been truly immersed in weapon crafting for hundreds of years, Mu Yu also gained a lot.

Although Mu Yu is guided by a talent that allows him to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune, he almost never fails when refining weapons.

But he really didn't have much experience in weapon crafting, especially... experience with failure.

Don't underestimate the lessons learned from failure; they are stepping stones to progress.

Unfortunately, this kind of ladder is not for Mu Yu.

……

Shortly after returning to Huangfeng Valley, Mu Yu went into seclusion for a few days, using his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune to find a way to solve the problem.

Then, quite by chance, he discovered from the vast number of options that finding Xin Ruyin had actually become an auspicious sign.

Isn't all she knows about formations?

Despite some doubts, Mu Yu still sent out a communication talisman, asking Xin Ruyin, who had already formed her core, to come to his cave.

Since returning to Tiannan, Mu Yu has had too many things to deal with and hasn't even had time to update the formation with Xin Ruyin.

"Congratulations, Senior Mu, on advancing to the Nascent Soul stage..."

Xin Ruyin's appearance eased Mu Yu's somewhat agitated mood considerably.

The matter of the Five Elements Spiritual Infant was indeed causing Mu Yu some distress.

He knew he could master it, and his talent for avoiding misfortune and attracting good fortune indicated auspicious signs, so the outcome was definitely not in doubt. However, he had no idea how to begin the process.

The purpose of refining the second Nascent Soul was to prepare to find the Great Evolution Divine Lord. If the second Nascent Soul is currently stuck, it will affect many of Mu Yu's subsequent plans.

After all, if Mu Yu only had one Nascent Soul cultivator, he wouldn't dare go to the far west to search for the Great Evolution Divine Lord.

He didn't want his main soul to be bound by the Seven Emotions Technique of the Great Evolution God.

"Since you're here, could you give me some advice? If I want to use the Mysterious Peony Nascent Soul Transformation Technique to refine five Nascent Souls, how should I do it?"

Mu Yu spoke, and asked a question that left Xin Ruyin stunned.

After a long pause, Xin Ruyin, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, said:

"Senior Mu, I've only recently formed my core. Aren't you setting my expectations a bit too high by asking me about the secret techniques of the Nascent Soul stage?"

Mu Yu completely ignored Xin Ruyin's answer and directly said:

"It's okay, just say whatever comes to mind. I think you can give me some inspiration."

In fact, Mu Yu believed not Xin Ruyin, but the reminder of her innate talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

Going to the Yuling Sect and the Baiqiao Academy were all reminders of the innate ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

When he conceived the idea of ​​refining five Nascent Souls, and the auspicious signs that appeared to indicate good fortune and avoid misfortune, everything was already destined.

In a sense, this can be considered as foreseeing the future.

Unfortunately, although Mu Yu was able to use exhaustive search to find the best route from thousands of possibilities, he could not immediately find a solution to the problem.

"Since you believe in me so much, then Ruyin can give it a try."

"I just need a brief explanation from you, senior. I still don't quite understand what you want to do."

So, Mu Yu gave a brief explanation. Although the second Nascent Soul was still a long way off for Xin Ruyin, he could still explain the specific process.

After all, he wasn't really hoping Xin Ruyin could help him solve the problem; he was just looking for some inspiration.

After listening, Xin Ruyin indeed gave Mu Yu some inspiration in other directions.

"Senior's biggest problem right now is that you can't get the five Nascent Soul cultivators to communicate telepathically. What if you tried a different method that eliminates the need for them to communicate telepathically?"

"Recently, I have been trying to complete the Inverted Five Elements Array, and Ruyin has gained some new understanding of the rotation of the five elements."

"It just so happens that the Five Elements Spiritual Infant that Senior wants to refine also belongs to the Five Elements. So, if we just make the Five Elements into a whole, we shouldn't need to worry about the individual elements anymore."

Xin Ruyin truly lived up to her reputation as a master of formations; when faced with a problem, the first thing she thought of was the way of formations.

Mu Yu did have some clue about what she meant by the cycle of the five elements.

"Go on, if it were you, what would you do? Don't worry about whether I can do it or not, or about practical issues, just tell me your thoughts."

Mu Yu spoke up, letting Xin Ruyin continue.

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin pondered for a moment before speaking:

"If it were me, I would create a Five Elements Formation within my body, and then use the Five Elements Spiritual Infants as the core of the formation, so that I could achieve the effect I want through the formation's power."

Mu Yu knew that this method was only to make the Five Elements Spiritual Infants safer, and had no effect on other aspects.

After all, a nascent soul is not an inanimate object, so Mu Yu wouldn't have much use for an inanimate object to serve as the core of the formation.

However, this idea did indeed give Mu Yu some inspiration.

After giving Xin Ruyin some pills to send her away, Mu Yu resumed his seclusion.

The method of exhaustive search was still used to test for good or bad fortune, but this time Mu Yu already had a general direction and process in mind.

As for the minor details that follow, one's innate ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune can help perfect them.

After all, although Mu Yu didn't know what to do, he did know what he shouldn't do.

Once you eliminate all the incorrect options, the one that remains is the correct one.

With the talent to avoid misfortune and attract good fortune, the secret techniques developed by Mu Yu will absolutely not pose any hidden dangers.

Because of the hidden dangers involved, the secret technique will never appear.

It took Mu Yu five whole years to research the original Five Elements Spirit Infant Refining Method, as well as the magic treasures of the Hundred Crafts Academy, Xin Ruyin's formations, and... that weapon refining method that Mu Yu never wanted to look at in his entire life.

However, although that thing had many flaws and was easy to go astray, Mu Yu still studied it a little bit, thanks to the reminder of his talent for avoiding misfortune and seeking good fortune.

Ultimately, Mu Yu decided to cultivate the Five Elements Spiritual Infants by refining magical artifacts.

After all, according to the description in that cultivation manual, everything used by cultivators can be considered a magic weapon, so refining a nascent soul to the same degree as refining a magic weapon should not be a big problem.

The first step is refining...

Or rather, Mu Yu used his own magical power to corrupt the Five Elements Spiritual Infants, and according to the principle of mutual generation of the Five Elements, cleared away the other impurities from the Five Elements Spiritual Infants one by one.

Mu Yu's goal is to transform the Five Elements Spiritual Infant into something with the purest attributes, similar to a rare treasure of heaven and earth.

As a result, Mu Yu almost exhausted the water from the giant spiritual eye spring that he brought out from the Void Heaven Palace.

The consumption of various five-element spiritual items and a massive amount of spirit stones during this period was a figure that others dared not even imagine.

In short, the process of refining the Five Elements Spiritual Infants lasted for a full five years.

During these five years, a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth would emanate from Mu Yu's cave every day, raising the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire Yellow Maple Valley to a higher level.

This clearly shows just how many spiritual resources this method consumed.

The second step was referred to by Mu Yu as the conception of spirit.

They took out the five fragmented souls that had been nurtured in the Soul Nourishing and Spirit Condensing Pearl for five years and refined them into the Five Elements Spiritual Infants.

That's right, it's not about injecting the divided soul into the Five Elements Spiritual Infant, but rather refining it within the Five Elements Spiritual Infant.

Theoretically speaking, the Five Elements Spiritual Infants do not have divided souls, and what they possess should be considered as artifact spirits.

However, the final result was basically the same as the method of refining the second Nascent Soul.

What Mu Yu refined was not a second nascent soul in the traditional sense, but a kind of supernatural power, similar to a magic weapon.

After the divided souls are refined into the Five Elements Spiritual Infant, as long as Mu Yu's main soul does not die, these divided souls will passively accept the main soul's memories, while their consciousness remains in a dormant state.

Once Mu Yu's main soul dies, the five elements' spirit infant's divided soul will awaken from its slumber and take control of everything that originally belonged to Mu Yu.

Of course, Mu Yu can also actively awaken a split soul of a nascent soul. In this state, the split soul is not much different from the second nascent soul.

The entire process of conceiving the spirit was quick, taking only about half a month.

The third step, which is also the most important step, is the rotation of the five elements!

Mu Yu needs to absorb the Five Elements Spiritual Infants into his body, which will result in his body carrying six Nascent Souls. With his current physical strength, he cannot support so many Nascent Souls for a long time.

Therefore, Mu Yu needs to allow these nascent souls to form a delicate balance within his body through the rotation of the five elements.

Simply put, it's about creating an array-like effect within your body by having these five nascent souls form a formation, allowing for the free transformation of the five elements' spiritual power.

In this way, even if Mu Yu's Qingyuan Sword Technique is only a single-attribute technique, it will not affect the balance of the five elements in his body.

Once this step is completed, Mu Yu will be able to cultivate as if five people were cultivating at the same time, and when he uses his primordial spirit to nurture and refine his natal magic weapon, the effect will be five times that of an ordinary person.

Of course, when advancing, one still needs to advance one Nascent Soul at a time.

After all, the second Nascent Soul will not advance if it does not cultivate.

However, Mu Yu can only enable a certain Nascent Soul cultivator to cultivate at five times the speed.

However, to achieve this effect, the five elements must be in balance.

Mu Yu's initial approach was to let the main body's nascent soul leave the body, and then wait for the five elemental nascent souls to achieve a balance among themselves before the main body's nascent soul returned to the main body.

However, this approach soon encountered a problem: the spiritual energy circulating within Mu Yu's body would not completely disappear as the nascent soul left her body.

After another brief emergency simulation, Mu Yu made a crucial decision: to abandon the wood-type spirit infant among the five elements and let his main body's nascent soul take its place.

This time, under the guidance of the original nascent soul, the five elements rotation was successfully constructed, and the five nascent souls stayed safely in Mu Yu's body.

Although the wood element is still stronger, as long as the five elements continue to rotate, there won't be any problems.

After a brief attempt at cultivation, Mu Yu discovered that whenever he inhaled a wisp of spiritual energy, it would undergo mutual transformation through the five elements, ultimately becoming wood-type spiritual energy, which would then be gradually refined into Mu Yu's own magical power.

The increase in cultivation speed was not as fast as Mu Yu had imagined; it was only about three times faster than usual.

However, just as Mu Yu had predicted, when it came to consuming mana, it was five times more than usual.

In other words, Mu Yu's endurance has increased fivefold, and he can use some secret techniques that consume a lot of mana more easily.

At the same time, the speed of nurturing and refining the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword is more than five times that of usual.

In this way, the drawback of having too many Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, which makes their cultivation speed slightly slower than that of normal magic weapons, is thus compensated for.

After closing her eyes and sensing her auspicious and inauspicious talents again, and confirming that there were no ominous signs, Mu Yu happily opened her eyes.

The next moment, Mu Yu saw the abandoned wood-type spirit infant.

After a moment's thought, Mu Yu activated the split soul within the wood-elemental spirit infant.

"Am I... a split soul? This feeling is so strange."

The wood-elemental spirit infant opened its eyes and said with some emotion.

With a thought, Mu Yu stopped the split soul within the wood-elemental spirit infant, and the memories of both began to synchronize autonomously the next moment.

Feeling the extra memories in her mind, Mu Yu discovered that the split soul did not have the talent of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, and she did not know whether the split soul could still inherit the talent of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune if her main soul disappeared.

However, this greatly reduces the probability of the original being developing sentience and rebelling.

After confirming that the restrictions within the Wood-type Spirit Infant were functioning properly, Mu Yu tested some other functions. Only after all doubts were resolved did Mu Yu reactivate the Wood-type Spirit Infant.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Yu tossed over a Xuan Yin Scripture, and the wood-type spirit infant began to study it after receiving it.

Before long, the magical power within the wood-elemental spirit infant began to gradually transform into Xuan Yin demonic energy.

Seeing this, Mu Yu nodded in satisfaction, then rummaged through his storage bag for a long time before finally finding the Golden Thunder Bamboo Arrow magic weapon that Xuan Gu possessed.

Watching the wood-elemental spirit infant switch cultivation techniques, Mu Yu turned back to continue his seclusion to test whether the circulation of the five elements within his body was smooth.

After testing, Mu Yu discovered that activating the Five Elements Rotation at full speed would consume some mana, but there was no additional consumption when it was running normally.

In other words, without consuming a large amount of magic power, Mu Yu has five times the magic power reserves of an ordinary person.

However, once the mana is excessively depleted, when one wants to recover quickly, the mana reserves will be reduced to approximately three times due to the losses caused by the rotation of the five elements.

Three times the normal amount is more than enough. But where did all the depleted mana go?

After searching for a long time, Mu Yu found nothing. Finally, after checking her "Auspicious and Inauspicious Talent" and receiving a positive result, she temporarily gave up.

Since it won't do any harm, I won't waste this time.

At this stage, the four elemental spirit infants within the body act as accessories, used to assist the cultivation of the main nascent soul.

After the wood-elemental spirit infant switched to cultivating the Profound Yin Scripture, it took on the role of the second nascent soul.

However, it is important to ensure that he does not stray too far from his original body or for too long, and that he is not captured by the enemy, etc.
