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

As Mu Yu watched the group of Yan family cultivators line up to hand over their storage bags, his gaze became somewhat unfocused.

This scene was quite different from the world of cultivation he had in mind.

Perhaps this is the difference between sects and independent cultivators?

"Haha, Junior Brother Mu. Here, take this Qiankun Tower talisman. We'll talk about the rest when we get back to the sect."

At this moment, Lei Wanhe had already taken out his magic weapon flying boat, enlarged it, and used it to store the storage bags handed over by the Yan family cultivators.

At this moment, a small mountain made of storage bags has already been piled up on the magical flying boat.

Lei Wanhe's obese body trembled uncontrollably with each laugh.

Mu Yu accepted the Qiankun Tower talisman, but didn't care about it.

Mu Yu had three or four more talismans of this level in his storage bag, including one Invisible Needle Talisman.

"Senior Brother Lei, I really didn't expect that the Yan family cultivator would hand over his valuables so obediently."

Mu Yu stared at the expressions of those Yan family cultivators. Although he could see some reluctance in them, there were no ones who were willing to fight to the death.

"Hey, what's the big deal?"

"You don't think this is the end, do you? Once they reach the Hidden Moon Sect, these Yan family cultivators will have at least a decade of 'good days' ahead of them."

"However, the Hidden Moon Sect probably has other plans for some of the exceptionally talented ones."

"For the Yan family cultivators, this outcome is already a good result."

"If the Yan family patriarch hadn't knelt down so quickly, at least half of the people here would be gone."

"If it weren't for the Hidden Moon Sect coming today, they would never have gotten away with it so easily..."

It seemed that the storage bag of the Yan family cultivator had put Lei Wanhe in a good mood, and he talked on and on to Mu Yu about many things, most of which were about the relationship between the seven sects.

On the surface, the relationship between the seven factions in Yue was quite good, but in reality, they were always in competition with each other.

After all, nobody wants their neighbor to be much better off than themselves.

But if that stronger one is even stronger, then it doesn't really matter.

Among the seven sects, the Hidden Moon Sect is naturally the strongest, while the other sects are roughly equal in strength.

There are two Nascent Soul stage cultivators in Spirit Beast Mountain, but due to the scarcity of spirit beasts in the southern region, the development of mid-level cultivators is not very good, and the overall strength is not much greater than that of Yellow Maple Valley.

The turmoil at Yanling Fort lasted for three whole days, and all sorts of rare treasures and supplies were collected on the first day.

After all the spiritual items were loaded onto Lei Wanhe's magical flying boat, Linghu Patriarch suddenly appeared, took control of the flying boat from Lei Wanhe, and returned to Huangfeng Valley with the items.

The Yan family's wealth was a considerable windfall for a Nascent Soul cultivator, so naturally they couldn't allow Lei Wanhe, a Core Formation cultivator, to escort it.

Otherwise, it would definitely be robbed on the way.

The next two days were spent modifying the Yanling Fort formation and handling other minor matters.

Yes, that's right. Yanling Fortress also fell into the hands of Huangfeng Valley. The Yanyue Sect only wanted people; they didn't want anything else.

On the first day, before all the supplies had been cleared out, Mu Yu sent Han Li back to Huangfeng Valley.

The desire to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune gave him a strange feeling; although it was somewhat dangerous, it also seemed to bring some gains.

It's best not to let Han Li participate in something so dangerous.

After thinking it over, since there was no danger to her life, Mu Yu realized that there was no need to leave. Staying by Lei Wanhe's side was safer than going on her own.

……

Three days later, everything settled down. Mu Yu returned to Huangfeng Valley with Lei Wanhe and the others, while Hong Fu stayed at Yanling Fort for the time being.

Before leaving, Mu Yu knew he would encounter some trouble, but he never expected that the person he would meet this time would be the Old Demon Yunlu.

Upon seeing the old demon Yunlu, Mu Yu wanted to activate the flying magic weapon in his possession, but the reminder from his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune made him ultimately abandon the idea.

"Greetings, Senior Yunlu..."

Facing the old demon Yunlu, Lei Wanhe had no intention of running away.

He bowed deeply to the old demon Yunlu, attempting to use his massive body to block Mu Yu's presence.

Yunlu Old Demon glanced at Lei Wanhe with some disgust. Although Yunlu Old Demon was indifferent to men and women, he was still not interested in Lei Wanhe's physique.

The next moment, the old demon Yunlu turned his gaze to Mu Yu.

Noticing Yunlu Old Demon's gaze, Mu Yu felt quite uneasy.

At this moment, Mu Yu really wished she looked more ordinary.

"He's fairly handsome, and quite talented. Would you be interested in joining the Joyful Union Sect?"

Unexpectedly, Old Demon Yunlu didn't seem to have any ill intentions; on the contrary, his tone was very gentle.

"Senior Yunlu, this child is...?"

Lei Wanhe was extremely anxious at this moment, but under immense pressure, he still managed to speak, hoping that his words would have some effect.

"Yunlu...this is my personally taught disciple, please give me some face!"

The next moment, Ancestor Linghu appeared in front of Mu Yu, blocking the slightly gentle gaze of Old Demon Yunlu.

"Yellow Maple Valley, we've really struck gold!"

"Old ghost Linghu, I'm a bit short on cash lately. Give me half of the Yan family's profits."

"By the way, let me take that girl Dong Xuan'er with me..."

"My Hehuan Sect will not concern itself with the trivial matters of your Yue Kingdom, so as to save you from running around everywhere every day."

Yunlu the Old Demon may seem to be taking advantage of the situation, but in reality, he made a deal with Linghu the Ancestor—a deal that would preserve the current power structure of the Yue Kingdom.

The so-called invasion of demonic forces is hardly a secret at the Nascent Soul stage.

The suggestion from Yunlu Old Demon made Linghu Ancestor hesitate for a long time.

For a Nascent Soul cultivator, the Yan family's possessions were just a small fortune. What truly made Ancestor Linghu hesitate was the existence of Hong Fu, a Core Formation cultivator.

If it weren't for the old demon Yunlu, Hongfu would probably have had a chance of achieving the Nascent Soul stage by now.

but now……

"not enough……"

"Yunlu, you should know that my lifespan is not much longer, and there are hardly any good seedlings left in Huangfeng Valley."

"I want you to make a public statement that you will join me in protecting my personally taught disciple."

After some hesitation, Linghu Patriarch made a condition to Yunlu.

In this way, Patriarch Linghu almost completely abandoned Hongfu and placed nearly all his hopes on Muyu.

"Oh~?"

Yunlu Old Demon gave Mu Yu a strange look, then looked away under Linghu Ancestor's almost murderous gaze.

It's almost certain that if they really mess with Mu Yu, Patriarch Linghu will go crazy.

"Okay, I agree!"

"Xuan'er...come with me."

Yunlu the Old Demon spoke to Dong Xuan'er.

When Dong Xuan'er faced the old demon Yunlu, her eyes revealed deep fear.

Seeing this, Ancestor Linghu transmitted some information to Dong Xuan'er and then sent her to the side of Old Demon Yunlu.

"I will arrange for someone to deliver the Yan family's belongings."

After Linghu Laozu finished speaking, he transformed into a beam of light, enveloping Mu Yu within it, and quickly departed.

Lei Wanhe, left standing there, smiled awkwardly at Yunlu Old Demon, but was met with an annoyed glare.

……

"Disciple, from now on... you are not allowed to leave Yellow Maple Valley until you reach the Core Formation stage!"

After leaving Mu Yu at the entrance of the cave, Ancestor Linghu threw down all the treasures he could find in Huangfeng Valley that could aid in Core Formation, and then quickly left.

It seems that Elder Linghu will be very busy lately.
