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

"The people from the Star Palace are quite composed."

After reviewing the communication talismans trapped in the formation, a hint of disappointment flashed in Mu Yu's eyes.

Perhaps it was because the time was too short? Or was it because the value of my alchemy skills wasn't very high?

I can't increase the risk any further. Now, even leaving Tianxing City will require some effort.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yu took out three Spirit-Stabilizing Pills, put them in a jade bottle, and walked out of the cave.

After leaving the cave, Mu Yu received many greetings from fellow cultivators along the way. He didn't know most of them, and those he did know, he had only met once.

However, it doesn't matter whether Mu Yu knows them or not; now almost all the Core Formation stage cultivators in Tianxing City know him.

No cultivator would refuse the opportunity to befriend a master alchemist.

I casually went to the shop of Miaoyin Sect and met Zhou Yuan, the sect leader, as soon as I stepped inside.

In just over a month, the Miaoyin Sect was able to spread the name of the alchemy master, which shows that the Miaoyin Sect's connections in Tianxing City are indeed not to be underestimated.

After following Zhou Yuan into a secret room, Mu Yu subconsciously glanced at a screen in the corner, then quickly looked away.

"Sect Leader Zhou, is there any news regarding the high-level weapon-refining inheritance I requested?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan gave a bitter smile.

"Everything Fellow Daoist Mu needs is a rare treasure, and it will probably be difficult to find in a short time."

"If you truly need those things urgently, why not seek help from the Star Palace?"

Zhou Yuan's attitude seemed less enthusiastic than it had been a few days ago. Three days ago, she had confidently assured everyone that she could find information about a high-level weapon-refining technique, but now...

Clearly, some higher force is exerting pressure.

No wonder the Star Palace didn't make any moves; they were waiting here all along.

"Heh, interesting. It seems the people of the Star Palace have found Sect Leader Zhou, preparing to resort to such despicable means. What are they planning to do?"

Mu Yu's tone turned somewhat cold, and her gaze went straight to behind a screen in the corner of the room.

"Fellow Daoist Mu...you've misunderstood..."

Zhou Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to explain, but Mu Yu completely ignored her, staring intently at the figure behind the screen.

"Such keen intuition! It was able to detect even the traces of my presence."

A deep, steady voice rang out, and then a middle-aged scholar in white robes appeared out of thin air before Mu Yu.

The moment the white-robed scholar appeared, Mu Yu's innate ability to avoid danger and seek good fortune automatically reminded him that he needed to be careful with his words and actions, or he would be in mortal danger.

"A senior at the Nascent Soul stage..."

Mu Yu feigned shock, but when he noticed Ling Xiaofeng's gaze, he could no longer keep up the act.

"Stop pretending, I'm not interested in your supernatural ability of seeing spirits."

"I've heard you're an excellent alchemist, claiming you can successfully refine any elixir?"

Ling Xiaofeng didn't keep them in suspense and directly asked about the matter he cared about most.

At this moment, Zhou Yuan, who had just come to her senses, was fully aware that a Nascent Soul stage senior had actually infiltrated her secret room.

"Sect Leader Zhou, judging from your expression, you are probably unaware of this senior's appearance."

"In that case, please leave for now."

Mu Yu did not immediately answer Ling Xiaofeng's question, but instead asked Zhou Yuan to leave first.

Although this is the secret chamber of the Miaoyin Sect, Zhou Yuan can no longer participate in such matters.

Zhou Yuan glanced at Ling Xiaofeng subconsciously, and after finding that he had no intention of stopping her, she bowed and quickly turned to leave.

Zhou Yuan did not know Ling Xiaofeng, one of the two Saints of the Star Palace, but a Nascent Soul cultivator was already an existence that her Miaoyin Sect could not contend with.

Especially those Nascent Soul stage cultivators who dared to force their way into other people's shops in Tianxing City.

After Zhou Yuan left, Mu Yu calmly spoke for a while:

"Senior, are you here to refine pills? Given your status, if you were to summon me, I would not dare to refuse. Why, then, do you...?"

If it weren't for the reminder from his innate talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, Mu Yu wouldn't have dared to be so calm.

But Ling Xiaofeng was unaware of this. Seeing that Mu Yu showed no fear whatsoever, a hint of admiration flashed in Ling Xiaofeng's eyes.

"It's simple, because I don't believe you can refine the pills I need."

"But now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I think you might be able to successfully refine that legendary elixir."

Have you ever heard of a pill called the Spirit Cultivation Pill?

Upon hearing the name "Nei Ling Dan," Mu Yu couldn't help but frown.

The name "Pei Ling Dan" is very common. Precisely because it is so common, most pills called Pei Ling Dan have other names as well.

Mu Yu had read through many pill formulas, including many abandoned ancient formulas that had once been called by this name, but none of them were too difficult to refine.

The only one that is difficult to refine is that elixir known as the "Immortal-Sculpting Pill".

But what exactly is "Shuxian Pill"?

It's very simple; it's a pill that can help high-level cultivators give birth to offspring, and the offspring will definitely have high-quality spiritual roots.

Generally speaking, although it is more difficult for high-level cultivators to conceive, their offspring have a high probability of possessing spiritual roots. Therefore, very few people have ever refined "Immortal-Sculpting Pills" since their inception.

"Plastic Pill?"

Mu Yu cautiously uttered the name, and when Ling Xiaofeng nodded, she felt it was somewhat absurd.

Although the Immortal-Sculpting Pill has limited effects, the medicinal herbs used to refine it are extremely precious, and it is estimated that only the Twin Saints of Tianxing City could produce them.

After all, the value of a level 10 demon beast's inner core is something that only a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator could possess.

Considering the timing of Ling Yuling's birth, Mu Yu was almost certain that the person in front of him was most likely Ling Xiaofeng.

After all, the description of Ling Xiaofeng in the texts he remembered was that of a middle-aged Confucian scholar.

Mu Yu knew that Ling Yuling was much younger than Han Li, so he had no intention of making a move on Ling Yuling when he came to Tianxing City.

I never expected to learn of Ling Yuling's existence in this way.

After carefully sensing his talent for avoiding misfortune and seeking good fortune, and finding no great danger, and even with faint signs of good luck, Mu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"The recipe for the pill, ten portions of spiritual herbs for refining the Immortal-Sculpting Pill, and most importantly... a level ten demon beast inner core, or even better, a level eleven one."

Ling Xiaofeng seemed somewhat surprised upon hearing Mu Yu's answer.

"You're actually confident you can succeed in refining it? And you even know the recipe for the Spirit Cultivation Pill..."

Mu Yu ignored Ling Xiaofeng's doubts and continued, "Besides that, I need seedlings of Thunder Bamboo, and they must be full of life."

"I know that this thing exists in the Chaotic Star Sea, but I don't know which sect it's in."

"As long as you bring me the items, the Immortal-Sculpting Pill will surely be successfully refined."

Ling Xiaofeng hadn't met anyone who dared to negotiate with him in a long time. Besides finding it a bit novel, he also felt that the other party seemed to be somewhat unaware of the situation.

Ling Xiaofeng released a slight amount of the pressure from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and informed the others:

"Once the elixir is refined, I will order the entire Star Palace to search for it for you."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu sensed his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, and then decisively said, "Find the item first, then I'll refine the pill."

"Without finding a seedling of Thunder Bamboo, the alchemy will not succeed."
