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

A hint of regret flashed in his eyes, and without hesitation, Daoist Mulong threw out all the magical treasures he carried and then self-destructed.

The power of the magic weapon's self-destruction was enormous, tearing a large hole in the Reversed Five Elements Formation.

Before he could even retrieve the dozens of golden flying needles that were right in front of him, Daoist Mulong hurriedly transformed into a streak of light and fled.

At this moment, Mu Yu still managed to stand in front of Master Mu Long.

However, since the other party was a cultivator in the mid-stage of Core Formation, Mu Yu was worried that something unexpected might happen. So when the other party self-destructed his magic weapon, he took out the Qiankun Tower talisman from the Yan family.

Upon seeing the formation damaged, Mu Yu immediately activated the Qiankun Tower talisman in his hand.

Just as the Wooden Dragon Taoist was transforming into a beam of light to escape, a Qiankun Tower forcefully pressed him down.

Beneath the Qiankun Pagoda, which was two or three zhang high, Daoist Mulong completely lost his vital signs.

Upon noticing this scene, Mu Yu looked at the Qiankun Tower talisman in his hand, which was gradually turning into ashes, and shook his head helplessly.

What a waste!

Talisman treasures are generally found in the hands of Foundation Establishment cultivators and are considered the strongest attack method for cultivators below the Core Formation stage.

But in reality, this thing was originally designed as a one-time attack method prepared by Core Formation stage cultivators.

It wasn't until later, when someone discovered that even those in the Foundation Establishment stage or the Qi Refining stage could use talismans, that the role of talismans gradually changed.

However, its most basic usage remains unchanged.

It can unleash the full power of the talisman in one go, producing a power similar to that of the original owner's magic weapon, without consuming too much magic power.

If we disregard production costs, talismans are indeed the best offensive weapon for Core Formation stage cultivators.

Of course, if you're reluctant to use it, you can use it sparingly, but then the power of the talisman will be reduced.

As the talisman in his hand disappeared, the Qiankun Tower also gradually turned into spiritual light and vanished, revealing the Wooden Dragon Immortal who had turned into a puddle of mud.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Mu Yu found the golden core of Daoist Mulong, but the primordial spirit was not in the golden core; it had already been shattered by the Qiankun Tower.

Generally speaking, when cultivators die in a battle, their primordial spirit rarely survives. This situation only improves when they reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Next, he picked up the storage bag, wiped away the remaining meat paste and bloodstains, and probed it with his divine sense to check his gains.

There weren't many magical treasures in Daoist Mulong's storage bag. He must have just self-destructed, or perhaps he never had many magical treasures to begin with.

Ignoring the meager amount of spirit stones and herbs, Mu Yu focused on the jade slip in the storage bag and the style of Mu Long Daoist's clothing.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Yu took out a sea chart obtained from Daoist Mulong and retrieved the eighty-one flying needle-like magic treasures that had fallen nearby, as well as the array flags and array plates of the Reversed Five Elements Array.

After completely erasing all traces of the battle with a fireball spell, Mu Yu transformed into a streak of light and flew towards Tianxing City.

Along the way, Mu Yu checked Mu Long Zhenren's storage bag and casually threw some clothes, tokens, and other items with distinct personal characteristics into the sea.

Finally, he threw away the storage bag of the Wood Dragon Immortal.

……

After flying for more than a month, Mu Yu finally arrived near Tianxing City.

At this moment, Mu Yu's attire was no more noticeably different from that of the cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea.

Tianxing City is called a city, but it is actually a huge island. However, the entire island is filled with various buildings, and there is hardly any open space.

How large is Tianxing City? Well, with Mu Yu's current eyesight, he can only vaguely see the island's boundaries.

From a mortal's perspective, this size should actually be called a continent.

But considering the travel speed of cultivators, this can indeed be considered an island.

The buildings on Tianxing City are densely packed, and when viewed from afar...

Like a Chongqing magnified countless times?

Long-forgotten scenes from her past life flashed through Mu Yu's mind, and she was momentarily lost in thought.

A streak of light flashed past the corner of Mu Yu's eye, interrupting her thoughts.

Shaking his head, Mu Yu confirmed the location of Tianxing City's gate and adjusted his flight direction.

As a city, Tianxing City naturally has city walls.

As for the city walls of Tianxing City, the number of city gates on these walls is absurdly large.

However, considering the flow of cultivators in Tianxing City, so many city gates seem quite reasonable.

It's worth mentioning that Mu Yu noticed that the cultivators and mortals here used different city gates, probably symbolizing their different statuses.

Mu Yu randomly chose a city gate and obtained a red permanent residence ring for free from a Foundation Establishment cultivator standing guard there, relying on his Core Formation stage cultivation.

Then, under the guidance of a Qi Refining Guide, they rented a cave dwelling on the fiftieth floor of the Star Palace.

In Tianxing City, the location of the spiritual vein is called the Holy Mountain, and the cave dwelling built on the Holy Mountain is divided into eighty-one floors, with the last thirty-one floors not available for rent.

Therefore, the fiftieth floor was already the best cave dwelling that Mu Yu could rent.

Upon arriving at the cave, the restrictions were lifted, the protective array was replaced, and the cave was checked for any other unsafe items left behind. Then, a ritual was performed to clean it up...

Moving house is something that even cultivators find mentally exhausting.

Once everything was ready, Mu Yu began to try to use his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune to find the whereabouts of the Thunder Bamboo seedlings.

As for how to find it?

It's very simple. Just think about where you're going or what you're going to do, and then sense whether it's auspicious or inauspicious.

Although this method can only sense good or bad fortune, it can still help Mu Yu eliminate many wrong options to a certain extent.

For example, right now, if Mu Yu wanted to directly ask the Star Palace about the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, then what she would sense would be an ominous sign.

However, if some restrictions are added, such as simply spreading the word in the nearby market to search for seedlings of the Thunder Pillar that contain vitality, the ominous signs sensed will be much smaller.

If the word gets out that one can refine elixirs, then an auspicious omen will occur.

Of course, Mu Yu didn't know the specifics of what the auspicious omen was, but he knew that it would definitely be helpful to him.

Relying on his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, Mu Yu is able to accomplish many feats that others cannot.

Now, Mu Yu needs to consider how to find the Thunder Bamboo seedling from the Chaotic Star Sea.

……

A few months later, almost all the Core Formation stage cultivators in Tianxing City knew the news that a master alchemist had arrived in Tianxing City and could refine any kind of pill.

Meanwhile, another piece of news also spread throughout Tianxing City.

That is, this young alchemy master urgently needs rare spiritual plants containing vitality to refine pills. If you have Soul Nourishing Wood, one of the three great divine trees, and Thunder Bamboo, no matter how much, you can name your price.

Of course, the prerequisite is that it must contain a trace of life; inanimate spiritual materials are not acceptable.

The so-called alchemy master was none other than Mu Yu.

As long as the formula exists, Mu Yu will almost never fail at alchemy, thanks to his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

However, in order to avoid drawing attention, Mu Yu would adjust his success rate according to the difficulty of alchemy, but generally kept it at around 60%.

As for the remaining 40%, that's naturally Mu Yu's reward for his hard work.

Occasionally, for some particularly rare pills that ordinary alchemists simply cannot refine, Mu Yu would very "humanely" adjust the success rate to around 10%.

By doing this, he not only gained a lot of extra money and concealed his true alchemy skills, but also received very sincere gratitude.

For some particularly difficult-to-refine pills, as long as you manage to refine them, even if the success rate is only 10%, or even if you only manage to refine one pill, you will still be a true master alchemist.

Unfortunately, such pills are very rare; Mu Yu only encountered one in several months.

But it was precisely because of this incident that Mu Yu's reputation as a master alchemist was truly established.
