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

There was only one corpse at the Nascent Soul stage, which disappointed Che Laoyao.

But in the end, he agreed.

Although it wasn't the most important nascent soul, this physical body was still a great tonic for Che Laoyao.

In the spirit world, he would never do such a losing business.

However, in the human realm, such a transaction, while slightly unprofitable, is still acceptable.

Next, Xiang Zhili and Feng Laoguai took out some things that Che Laoyao needed, and the group tacitly completed the exchange.

The lifespan of demons is much longer than that of humans, and some special races have lifespans that are several times longer. Therefore, some spiritual herbs can be obtained by waiting for the demons to mature, given their long lifespans.

Therefore, these items for exchange were mostly ancient medicinal herbs, which were very precious to Xiang Zhili and his group, but nothing to Mu Yu.

Sometimes, when Mu Yu encountered rare spiritual herbs, he would ask for some seeds or spiritual roots, saying that he wanted to add some foundation to the sect.

Xiang Zhili and the others didn't think much of it.

After all, the main residences of truly large sects are fixed, and they have medicinal gardens that have lasted for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Sects like Yellow Maple Valley can only be considered small sects, and even smaller sects that are on the verge of bankruptcy.

However, there are certainly not many truly ancient medicinal herbs in those herb gardens, but there are usually a few in a typical herb garden.

This is also why there are many Nascent Soul stage cultivators in large sects.

After the unfair deal was completed, Mu Yu confirmed Che Laoyao's attitude and chose to leave Wan Yao Valley.

……

After leaving the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, Mu Yu found a place to test the effects of the sword energy stone. After confirming that the item was genuine, he headed towards the Fire Prison in the southeast of the Great Jin Dynasty.

After traveling for more than two months, Mu Yu finally arrived at his destination—the Fire Prison.

The Fiery Hell is one of the seven forbidden areas of the Great Jin Dynasty. It has existed for an extremely long time, and due to its extremely harsh environment, even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator cannot endure it for long.

Therefore, there is basically no life here.

However, near the volcanoes on the edge of the Fire Hell, there are quite a few high-level cultivators who come to search for fire-attribute materials.

However, there aren't many treasures left in the places they can go, and they can't go to places that do have some treasures.

Almost every so often, some overconfident cultivators perish in the fiery hell.

Therefore, when Mu Yu plunged into the fiery red mist, the nearby Nascent Soul cultivators thought he was also forced into a corner and had come to his death.

Ignoring the mocking looks from the others nearby, Mu Yu entered the fiery red mist, and the protective sword shield around him crackled and popped.

The temperature here seems to be even hotter than the lava path in the Void Heaven Palace.

Clearly, this seemingly ordinary fiery red mist is actually no less powerful than a fire-attribute spell cast by a typical Core Formation stage cultivator.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yu took out the Yin Yang Five Fire Fan and released a red spiritual light to protect her body.

With the blessing of the spiritual treasure, Mu Yu's mana consumption was immediately reduced significantly.

To Mu Yu's surprise, in such a harsh environment, there were actually several level six or seven demonic beasts below, and many fire spirits resembling level seven demonic birds also lived in the mist.

This level of demonic beast horde is extremely troublesome even for ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

But to Mu Yu, they were just small fry; he wasn't even keen on collecting the souls of these demonic beasts.

However, in order not to waste it, Mu Yu still summoned the Taiyin Firebird that he had temporarily borrowed from Han Li from his storage bag.

This kind of spiritual object, which had already been refined by others, was somewhat inconvenient for Mu Yu to control. However, when Mu Yu took out a magic artifact containing Han Li's aura, the Taiyin Firebird became much more obedient.

"Go on! Have some snacks before you get back to work."

"If you don't obey, I'll just kill you."

Mu Yu spoke to the Taiyin Firebird, which was full of spirituality but had not yet awakened its intelligence.

But it is clear that words have no effect on things that have not yet developed intelligence.

In the end, Mu Yu could only control the other party through magic.

Along the way, Mu Yu drove the Taiyin Firebird to kill the Fire Fiend Spirits and soon arrived at his destination—above a seemingly ordinary extinct volcano.

After making some simple arrangements, Mu Yu cast a spell and dived into the magma inside the volcano.

The world beneath the magma was extremely unfamiliar to Mu Yu. Although the protection provided by the Yin-Yang Five Fire Fan prevented Mu Yu from being burned by the extreme heat, Mu Yu was still protected.

However, the extremely viscous lava still greatly limited Mu Yu's movement speed.

It was precisely because of this that Master Hanli, who was also at the late Nascent Soul stage, returned empty-handed several times.

In the end, he would rather risk his life to forcibly break through to the Nascent Soul stage than even consider such a thing.

Driven by the Taiyin Firebird, Mu Yu began fishing in this area.

As for the bait, it is of course the Taiyin Firebird.

In the world of cultivation, flames are not only characterized by high temperatures. So-called cold flames, although they emit cold air, are actually a type of fire.

This is what is meant by Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.

It was precisely for this reason that Mu Yu was able to complete the refinement of the Yin-Yang Five Fire Fan.

Mu Yu took out a specially made spirit-concealing veil and draped it over his body. He then activated his perfected Invisible Escape Technique to hide all his aura.

Next, the Taiyin Firebird roamed freely in the magma, absorbing large amounts of fire-attribute spiritual energy from time to time to replenish itself.

This Taiyin Firebird is born from the extreme cold of flames born under extreme heat, so this high-temperature environment is like home to it, and it feels completely comfortable.

A few days later, a ball of silver light burst out angrily.

Before long, a small horse, a few inches in size and pure white as jade, appeared in front of Mu Yu.

On the back of the white pony, a cluster of small silver wings shimmered, giving it an extremely spiritual appearance.

The little horse, formed from the furious essence of the sun, showed obvious excitement upon seeing the firebird of the moon.

After seeing the essence of the sun, the Taiyin Firebird suddenly became somewhat disobedient.

Things that have been refined by others are very difficult to use.

The two chased and fled, quickly disappearing from Mu Yu's sight.

But it's okay, Mu Yu had already made multiple preparations for this situation.

As a burst of azure light exploded, Mu Yu's pre-arranged Azure Origin Sword Formation trapped the two fire spirits that were running around everywhere.

Fat Cat Who Loves Salted Fish presents "Mortal: Even with a Celestial Spiritual Root, You Still Need to Snag a Little Green Bottle!", exclusively released here!

As a wood-attribute flying sword, the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword is not really suitable for setting up a formation in this environment.

If Mu Yu hadn't nurtured it for a sufficient amount of time, the wood-attribute flying sword would have suffered spiritual damage in just a moment after being exposed to such extreme high temperatures.

However, now that the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword has been refined by five Nascent Soul cultivators, its strength is sufficient to withstand various extreme environments.

While staying in such a place for a long time will definitely have an effect, there won't be any problem if it's just about capturing the essence of the sun.

After being trapped in the Azure Origin Sword Formation, the Solar Essence Fire kept rushing around, searching for a possible exit.

The Taiyin Firebird was relatively quiet, probably because it sensed Han Li's aura. It was easily put back into the magic artifact.

After raging around for a while, the essence of the sun's fire weakened considerably.

Upon seeing this, Mu Yu immediately released a large amount of warding-off divine lightning to bind it.

At first, the pony formed from the essence of the sun was still trying its best to resist, but it quickly lost the power to resist. It could not even maintain its pony form and turned into a ball of silver flame, which was tightly bound by the evil-repelling divine thunder.

The warding-off divine thunder is extremely effective in dealing with this kind of spirit.

Mu Yu put the Solar Essence Fire into a jade box, affixed it with a unique restriction talisman, and sensed it. He found that there was nothing inside that was particularly useful to him.

Although there are many subtle auspicious omens, Mu Yu is now so wealthy that he no longer cares about them.

However, now that she was here, Mu Yu was not going to leave.

After withdrawing the Azure Origin Sword Formation, Mu Yu took out the array flag from his storage bag and set up a large array that absorbed the fire attribute energy of heaven and earth.

That's right, Mu Yu is preparing to reforge the Yin Yang Five Fire Fan here.

The Yin-Yang Five Fire Fan was the first spiritual treasure that Mu Yu crafted. Although it was crafted into a spiritual treasure at the time, its power was actually quite limited due to the scarcity of spiritual energy in the human realm.

Now that we've arrived at this place rich in fire-attribute spiritual energy, it's only natural that we should refine this treasure anew.

Drawing upon the faintest traces of energy from the Sun's Essence Fire and the Moon's Firebird, Mu Yu used them as bait to activate the formation, gathering a large amount of fire-attribute spiritual energy.

As the primordial energy of heaven and earth was drawn in by the formation and poured into the Yin-Yang Five Fire Fan, the flame patterns on the five-colored fan surface became even brighter.

The entire process of refining the treasure lasted for more than a month.

The reforged Yin-Yang Five Fire Fan has become more spiritual, and even the Fire Peacock, which is the spirit of the artifact, seems much more lively.

After the spirit treasure was reforged, Mu Yu left this fiery hell.

As a cultivator who mainly practices wood-attribute techniques, Mu Yu felt extremely uncomfortable staying in a place with such an excessively strong fire attribute for too long.

Of course, Mu Yu also has a fire-attribute nascent soul within him, and it is precisely because of this fire-attribute nascent soul that Mu Yu has been able to stay in this place for so long.

This fire-attribute nascent soul has improved its cultivation considerably in recent days.

As Mu Yu rapidly left the area of ​​the Fire Hell, the gradually cooling air surprisingly gave him a long-lost chill.

After circulating his internal energy for several cycles, the icy sensation that Mu Yu felt on his body vanished completely.

After taking out his communication flying sword and agreeing on a time for delivering the spiritual treasure, Mu Yu sent a message to several Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

As for the delivery issue...

When the time comes, these cultivators will naturally go to Tiannan to pick up the goods themselves.

Mu Yu had no time to visit Da Jin again, as Da Jin was a sacred place for cultivation for other Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

But for Mu Yu, this place was no different from Tiannan.

After delivering the message via flying sword, Mu Yu spread his Thunder Wind Wings and transformed into a wisp of breeze, flying towards the south.

Mu Yu has now reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the wind escape speed of his Thunder Wind Wings has also increased significantly.

……

It took Mu Yu and his group a little over a year to travel from Tiannan to Dajin.

However, after returning from Da Jin to Tian Nan, Mu Yu returned to Huangfeng Valley alone in just over four months.

"Good! Good! I didn't expect you to become a great cultivator so quickly. In this way, our Yellow Maple Valley can officially become the most powerful force in Tiannan."

When Linghu Laozu saw Mu Yu, he couldn't hide his smile at all, and he was in an extremely enthusiastic state.

In other words, cultivators have special physiques. If it were an ordinary person, Mu Yu was afraid that Old Ancestor Linghu would laugh himself to death.

"Master, I have found the materials for refining the Rejuvenating True Water during my trip. After consuming the Rejuvenating True Water, with your remaining lifespan, you may be able to attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Mu Yu spoke up and told Elder Linghu the good news.

However, Linghu Patriarch's reaction to this news was not as joyful as Mu Yu had expected.

"Disciple, this Yang True Water is indeed useful to me, but if I break through to the Nascent Soul stage, then forget about it."

"Back then, in order to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, I used some extreme methods, which damaged my foundation. In fact, I have been recuperating all these years."

"That's why I concealed my breakthrough to the late Nascent Soul stage."

"Now that you've returned, my injuries have almost fully healed. It's time for Yellow Maple Valley to expand its territory."

"After a while, I will hold another celebration and inform everyone in Tiannan..."

Linghu Laozu explained his current state in just a few simple sentences.

Mu Yu himself, however, was contemplating something else entirely.

If one's foundation is destroyed, does that mean one can no longer cultivate?

Since the so-called demonic path uses the method of forcibly forming a core with the evil pill, is there any way to create a pirated Nascent Soul cultivator from the Nascent Soul stage in one's own hands?

To the others in Huangfeng Valley, Patriarch Linghu was more like a statue who didn't care about anything. The cultivation atmosphere in Huangfeng Valley, especially among the lower-level disciples, was problematic.

However, for Mu Yu, it was Elder Linghu who helped him through his most vulnerable period. If it weren't for Elder Linghu's extreme trust, Mu Yu's cultivation path would not have been so smooth.

Therefore, if there is a way, Mu Yu should at least help Linghu Patriarch break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Only in this way can we repay the kindness shown to us in protecting our path.

"Master, although the Rejuvenating True Water can extend lifespan, its primary function is to heal all injuries and has the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life and healing flesh and bones."

"Once I've mastered the Rejuvenating True Water, your foundation might be able to recover."

"Even if it's beyond recovery, I will find a way to help you break through to the Nascent Soul stage."
