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

Chapter 126: It's almost time; it's time to go find Xiang Zhili. There's a surprise inside! Click to unlock now.

After completing the treasure refining process, Mu Yu returned to Jinxi Market to prepare for the grand auction held once every ten years in the Great Jin Dynasty.

Once every ten years is considered frequent for Nascent Soul stage cultivators, so even though there are many Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Great Jin Dynasty, not many rare items will appear in such a place.

Therefore, Mu Yu had already begun planning several years ago, and the two lists he provided to various shops in Jinxi Market were the bait.

Having acquired over 70% of the high-grade materials of the entire Tuwu tribe in one go, coupled with Mu Yu's previous collection, Mu Yu can now be considered the richest man in the human realm.

In terms of sheer quantity, even those old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage cannot compare to Mu Yu's current wealth.

Not to mention, Mu Yu currently possesses two items that can be considered heaven-reaching spiritual treasures in the human realm.

As for whether revealing the existence of these things would cause any trouble...

It doesn't matter. Mu Yu dares to fight against the entire Tuwu force all by himself. Why would he be afraid of any problems arising on the side of Da Jin?

Surely it wouldn't warrant a mass hunt from all the cultivators of the Great Jin Dynasty.

If that's really the case, Mu Yu might be happy, since the Myriad Soul Banner will have a few more Nascent Soul stage demon spirits.

Mu Yu now has ways to protect herself throughout the human realm.

Moreover, even if a Nascent Soul stage cultivator were to come looking for him, Mu Yu could protect himself with the Immortal Extinction Pearl.

As for the other prying eyes, they were just there to add material to the Myriad Souls Banner.

Walking calmly through the market in Jinxi, Mu Yu strolled from shop to shop. Every time he entered a shop, a large number of sound transmission talismans flew around, and he was met with many prying eyes.

Mu Yu didn't care about this.

At this moment, Mu Yu's publicly displayed rare materials alone are enough to rival the stockpiles of one or two major sects.

After browsing through all the shops on the street, Mu Yu had seven or eight storage bags on her person, each one bulging and clearly filled with all sorts of items.

Even for cultivators, carrying so many storage bags is somewhat inconvenient.

So, Mu Yu entered the last Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. Instead of discussing the transaction first, he found a secret room and put the storage bag containing the materials into the Void Heaven Cauldron.

Of course, Mu Yu also placed a restriction on the Tianlan Sacred Beast in the Void Heaven Cauldron to prevent it from rummaging through his things after it gained sentience.

Storage bags are essentially magical artifacts that can shrink and store items. They do not involve spatial laws, so they can be placed inside the Void Cauldron.

Although the Void Heaven Cauldron doesn't have a large internal space, it is still a kind of spatial magic treasure. After cultivating the Tongbao Technique, Mu Yu can also store it into his body.

Therefore, although Mu Yu does not currently possess any true spatial storage magic treasures, he has at least managed to solve the problem of having too many storage bags on him.

Upon exiting the secret chamber, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was already waiting for them for quite some time.

"Fellow Daoist Mu... I, Luan Ku, have been waiting for you here for a long time!"

"This way, please. Shall we talk in the VIP room?"

This plump old man had an exceptionally kind demeanor that easily won people's favor; he was clearly cut out to be a businessman.

"No rush. As long as I have the materials I need, I can use whatever I have in exchange."

Mu Yu spoke calmly, showing no surprise at the appearance of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master.

The Tianji Pavilion is considered one of the more powerful forces in Jinxi Market, and it doesn't have too many troubles behind it, so Mu Yu entrusted it to help collect some materials a few years ago.

"Alas... Fellow Daoist Mu's strength is profound, so naturally he is not afraid of those treacherous villains."

"But I've encountered quite a few troubles these past few years. If it weren't for my own abilities and some close friends, the person coming to trade with you now would probably be someone else."

As the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion led the way, he complained to Mu Yu.

Mu Yu completely ignored this.

He was well aware of the potential benefits that the items in his possession could bring to the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

Afraid of being tired? Afraid of dying? If he were really afraid, he wouldn't have taken the job.

Soon, the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion led Mu Yu to a pavilion in the sky. As Mu Yu approached, various kinds of music and dances were played, creating a lively atmosphere.

Mu Yu didn't particularly like these formalities, so he entered the aerial pavilion without even glancing at it.

It must be said that the illusion here is quite good; it would be even better if those five late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators weren't inside.

"Interesting. Is the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion after being tempted by money?"

Mu Yu stood at the door, with no intention of stepping inside.

Even if Mu Yu is very confident, he still has to be careful when facing five late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

"ah!!!"

The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion never imagined that on his territory, in front of five Nascent Soul stage cultivators, someone would dare to attack him, especially using such an almost undefendable divine sense attack.

So, caught completely off guard, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion clutched his head and wailed, curling up in a ball as if he had completely lost the power to resist.

Although the Great Evolution Divine Lord's Divine Thrust was very powerful, Mu Yu's current divine sense was only comparable to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, and it could not cause him that level of damage.

Therefore, the other party was mostly putting on an act.

"That's enough. We told Luan Ku not to tell you."

"I just want to see what kind of person has caused such chaos throughout the Tianlan Grassland."

Inside the pavilion, an old man in black robes spoke, clearly a member of the demonic path, though Mu Yu wasn't quite sure which one.

"The cultivators of the Great Jin Dynasty have investigated me very thoroughly, so why haven't they attacked me directly?"

"If you kill me, all the good stuff I have will be yours."

Mu Yu walked into the attic without any hesitation and sat down in the chair that originally belonged to the master.

Turning her head, Mu Yu looked at the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and said calmly, "Stop howling. If you had told me beforehand, I wouldn't be so angry."

At this moment, the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion, who was wailing and clutching his head outside the door, also wisely stood behind those late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, though his face remained pale and bloodless.

Although damage to one's consciousness is not fatal, it is much more difficult to recover from than physical injuries.

At this moment, the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion felt extremely aggrieved. He had given a warning from the beginning, so who was to blame for not understanding?

"How arrogant! No wonder they dared to cause such a commotion throughout the entire Great Jin Dynasty."

Another late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator spoke, but his eyes held a hint of apprehension.

The distance between Da Jin and Tianlan Grassland is not too far. Although this group of people do not know the details of what happened on Tianlan Grassland, they have a general idea.

Otherwise, how could five late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators have gathered together? Wasn't it because they were worried that Mu Yu would suddenly make a move?

This is also why Mu Yu has been very peaceful all these years, and not many people have come looking for her.

Those with enough power have generally heard of Mu Yu's name, while those without enough power have no idea how rich Mu Yu is.

Occasionally, some lucky idiots are dealt with in advance.

After all, they didn't want to incur Mu Yu's wrath.

If you try to do it yourself and fail, it's your own fault.

But it would be a great injustice to be blamed on someone who is an idiot.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. We're here today just to make a deal."

"As for whether Fellow Daoist Mu can leave alive after the transaction, that's none of my business. I don't plan to make a move anyway."

……

The transaction with this group of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators went smoothly. They must have many other powerful forces behind them, and the quantity of various materials exceeded Mu Yu's expectations.

However, Mu Yu possessed even more wealth.

Having spent some things she didn't need, Mu Yu traded for even more treasures, and she still quite liked this kind of trade.

After leaving the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, Mu Yu found himself with another bulging storage bag.

This storage bag is filled with all sorts of extinct spiritual items.

In addition, Mu Yu also obtained the so-called method of refining the mustard seed space, as well as the refining method of the Heavenly Mystery Palace, from the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

The so-called Heavenly Mystery Palace is actually quite simple; it's just a larger magical artifact that can be used as a cave dwelling when released, without the need for additional restrictions.

For cultivators, enlarging or shrinking a spiritual object is an easy task; even a Qi Refining stage disciple can do it.

The reason why the Heavenly Mystery Mansion can be sold is naturally because the cave dwelling that has been placed there not only has the function of simply gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but also comes with some formations and restrictions, so no additional arrangements are needed.

Aside from the inability to possess spiritual fields, this so-called Heavenly Mystery Palace possesses almost all the capabilities of a true cave dwelling, making it extremely convenient.

But what truly captivated Mu Yu was not the convenience of the Heavenly Mystery Mansion, but rather the restrictions it contained.

Those so-called restrictions are actually a type of formation, only they don't have a corresponding array eye like ordinary formations.

As a master of formations, Mu Yu's talent in the study of formations may not be as great as Xin Ruyin's, but he is still quite confident in his ability to apply them.

Therefore, a long time ago, Mu Yu had the idea of ​​using the refining methods of the Heavenly Secrets Palace to refine an array into a complete magic weapon.

In the world of cultivation, it's not that no one before them had considered this idea; some magical artifacts of the confinement type were made using this method.

In sets of magical artifacts like the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, corresponding formations are also set up during the forging process.

In a sense, the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword can also be considered the foundation of an array, except that this foundation is a flying sword.

However, all of these require a certain amount of time to arrange.

What Mu Yu wanted to create was a treasure that, once placed, could become a true array.

Mu Yu wasn't sure if this thing could be refined, but he was working towards that goal.

Back at her residence in the market, Mu Yu waited quietly for the trade fair to begin.

In the middle of it, nothing unexpected happened. I don't know if no one was willing to take action or if they were preparing something big.

This time, thanks to Mu Yu's presence, the once-in-a-decade trade fair will be much more lively.

Just a few days before the trade fair, Mu Yu's talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune suddenly manifested. It wasn't a major stroke of luck, but it was stronger than a minor stroke of luck.

At this point in time, there's probably only one thing that could elicit such a reaction from me.

After getting up and leaving Jinjing, Mu Yu flew northwest for a short while before a blue light flashed in his eyes as he looked towards a deserted place.

"Aren't you coming out yet?"

Mu Yu spoke calmly, but the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators following behind him were so frightened that their hearts pounded wildly.

"I wasn't talking about either of you... never mind!"

Mu Yu shook his head. The demonic nascent soul, wielding the Demonic Dragon Blade, went out and soon returned with two nascent souls bound by black lightning, along with their storage bags and other items.

Instantly killing two early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators was already commonplace for Mu Yu.

If you dare to follow, then you're dead.

As the number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators killed increased, the power of this Demonic Dragon Blade also rose accordingly, and it is now no weaker than the Yin-Yang Five Fire Fan in terms of attack power.

Moreover, the attacks of this Demonic Dragon Blade are more concentrated, making it very suitable for launching a sneak attack using the teleportation ability of a Demonic Nascent Soul cultivator.

Just as Mu Yu received the two Nascent Souls bound by black lightning from the Demonic Nascent Soul, preparing to put them into the jade box and store them in his storage bag, a sudden change occurred.

Just moments before, a faint ghostly shadow suddenly darted out from where Mu Yu had been looking, flashing by like the elusive light of some kind of vengeful spirit.

After calmly attaching restriction talismans to the two Nascent Souls and placing them in his storage bag, Mu Yu revealed his Thunderwind Wings, which flashed with lightning and blocked the ghostly figure.

"Impossible! My Ghost Shadow Escape... how could I have been caught so quickly?"

The one blocked by Mu Yu was a gaunt old man who looked very ordinary. His cultivation level was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but his escape speed was quite good.

Unfortunately, this level of speed is far inferior to Mu Yu's lightning escape technique.

"If you had separated your nascent soul from your body the moment you saw me, you might have had a chance to survive."

"But it's only a chance; I can still catch up."

Mu Yu remained calm, but did not rush to kill him.

"Fellow Daoist, spare my life! This old man is willing to give everything just to save my life."

The old man surnamed Xiao was quite sensible; seeing that he couldn't escape, he immediately begged for mercy.

"Oh? All of them? Fine, if you're willing to hand them all over, I might spare your life."

Mu Yu's words were somewhat unexpected by the old man surnamed Xiao.

Old Man Xiao, who was just willing to give up everything just to survive, is now extremely reluctant to part with his life.

"Alright, I'll give it to you... I hope you'll keep your promise and spare my life."

Carefully unfastening the storage bag from his waist, Old Man Xiao tremblingly handed it over, seemingly frightened by Mu Yu.

Upon seeing this, Mu Yu couldn't help but shake his head.

"If you keep your word, I might actually spare your life."

"After all, I don't really care about the affairs of the Beiye Xiaoji Palace."

"And you, you shouldn't be walking into a trap."

"What a pity..."

Mu Yu spoke, watching the old man surnamed Xiao use his escape technique, but did not immediately stop him.

Because the demonic nascent soul was already waiting in front of him, wielding the demonic dragon blade.

A single slash severed his head, followed by the demonic exorcising lightning binding his nascent soul.

Mu Yu proceeded with the entire process very smoothly.

The Golden Thunder Bamboo Arrow inside the demonic nascent soul was no longer the original version; it was a version that Mu Yu had reforged using a Golden Thunder Bamboo.

To forge this treasure, Mu Yu expended considerable effort, venturing into the Demon Abyss on the boundless sea more than ten times to absorb demonic energy before finally completing the demonic transformation.

Therefore, there's no need to worry about the capacity of the demonized exorcising divine thunder inside the Golden Thunder Bamboo Arrow being insufficient.

But even now, Mu Yu still doesn't quite understand how big the difference is between the demonized Evil-Repelling Thunder and the original Evil-Repelling Thunder.

After all, apart from the color, their functions are not that different.

Mu Yu took out the restriction talisman again and affixed it. After putting the old man surnamed Xiao's nascent soul into the jade box, Mu Yu put it into his storage bag.

Because the demonic energy within the Myriad Soul Banner was not sufficient, Mu Yu, who had recently acquired Nascent Soul cultivators, did not allow the Myriad Soul Banner to refine them.

Ordinary souls within the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls are still too easy to die.

Mu Yu casually accepted the storage bag handed to him by the Demonic Nascent Soul, and after retrieving the Demonic Nascent Soul, he began searching.

During this period, memories began to synchronize, and the feeling of weakness after the Nascent Soul teleportation was indeed not pleasant.

At that very moment, Mu Yu decided that once his main Nascent Soul reached the late Nascent Soul stage, he would immediately raise the cultivation of his demonic Nascent Soul to the late Nascent Soul stage as well.

He took out a slender jade bottle, about six or seven inches tall, from the old man's storage bag, opened it, and saw that it was indeed the Cold Marrow that Mu Yu had been looking forward to for a long time.

With this item, the only missing ingredient for the Rejuvenating True Water is the Sun Essence Fire.

After Kunwu Mountain opens, you should be able to go to the Northern Night Small Extreme Palace to find the Grand Elder. There, you'll not only gain experience from your failed attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but also obtain the Solar Essence Fire.
