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

As the formation was activated, the pure spiritual energy from the high-grade spirit stones began to flow into the cyan pill fire under Mu Yu's control.

Mu Yu went even further, releasing his inner core and merging it into the inner fire.

With the pure spiritual energy provided by the high-grade spirit stones and the blessing of the inner core, the cyan pill fire suddenly surged up and then spread throughout the entire formation.

The spreading azure flames naturally extracted the materials that aided in the crafting of the magic weapon, and then orderly integrated them into the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword.

Mu Yu himself took this opportunity to spit out a fist-sized ball of blood essence, and in the very center of this ball of blood essence was a drop of heart blood.

In terms of value, the difference between heart's blood and essence blood is not actually that great.

Both of these are forms of consumption that, while depleting the body's vital energy, can be recovered through elixirs and daily cultivation.

The reason Mu Yu used this drop of his heart's blood was naturally for the sake of that crucial sword pellet.

Under Mu Yu's control, the fist-sized mass of blood essence was divided into seventy-three parts, one of which, mixed with a drop of heart's blood, was incorporated into the sword pellet.

The remaining seventy-two portions were absorbed into the seventy-two surrounding Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, rapidly merging into them.

Only now has this set of Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords truly become Mu Yu's natal magic weapon.

At this stage, the magic weapon is still not fully developed; it only has a potential magic weapon as a foundation.

What truly makes a magic weapon a magic weapon are the miniature arrays that will be inscribed within it, as well as various restrictions and barriers.

The so-called natal magic treasure is a treasure that incorporates all the techniques of a cultivator.

Even with Mu Yu's current supernatural powers, this final step that is about to begin cannot be started simultaneously; it can only be done step by step.

Fortunately, Mu Yu had already inscribed some restrictions when he first crafted it, so there was no need to rush to make this magic weapon.

After a brief seven-day rest, Mu Yu began inscribing formations and restrictions on the sword pellet.

Halfway through, Mu Yu would summon a Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword and, combining it with the miniature array inscribed on the sword pellet, begin to meticulously refine the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, striving to make the relationship between the two as close as possible.

This step took Mu Yu more than three months to complete.

After completing all the engraving tasks, Mu Yu was almost at her limit. Fortunately, the final spirit-awakening process of refining the magic weapon did not require too much of Mu Yu's mental energy.

As Mu Yu cast the final spell at the sword pellet, the array he had previously set up also unleashed its last power, channeling all its might into the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword.

With a burst of intense cyan light, seventy-two Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords flew around the central sword pellet with remarkable agility.

With a thought, Mu Yu sent the seventy-two Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords, along with the sword pellets, into his body, into his Golden Core...

Oh, the Golden Elixir is still outside and hasn't been brought back yet.

Mu Yu was already extremely tired, and surprisingly, he didn't immediately retrieve his golden core after completing the treasure refining process.

After retrieving the golden core, Mu Yu's demeanor finally recovered considerably.

This was not the power of the Golden Core, but rather some enhancement given to Mu Yu by the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, his natal magic weapon.

Although the conventional process involves cultivators using their primordial spirit to nurture and refine magical treasures, in reality, magical treasures also provide a certain boost to the cultivator themselves. This boost is not necessarily an boost during combat, but also includes a boost to the cultivator's own abilities.

Of course, the most important function of a natal magic weapon is combat, and the amplification process to the main body is almost negligible.

If Mu Yu hadn't been so extremely weak at the moment, he wouldn't have noticed this increase at all.

"Alright, my natal magic weapon is now complete."

"If you need it, I can teach you the method for refining my natal magic weapon after I have deduced it. As for whether you want to refine my magic weapon or the original Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, that is your choice."

Mu Yu calmed herself down and noticed Han Li's stunned expression.

Mu Yu's words seemed to awaken Han Li, and a sharp glint briefly appeared in Han Li's eyes before returning to normal.

"Thank you, Brother Mu, for letting me observe this. The matter of a natal magic weapon is still too far removed from my own experience."

Han Li shook his head with a wry smile, his eyes filled with bitterness.

This bitterness stems from both the bitterness of his spiritual roots and the bitterness of the thoughts that had just popped into his mind.

Reaching out and patting Han Li on the shoulder, Mu Yu said:

"It doesn't matter. What you think in your heart and what you do are not the same thing."

"I invited you to witness me crafting my natal magic weapon because I trust you, and also because I trust myself."

"As for forming your core, you will succeed, it just will take you a little longer than it did for me."

After Mu Yu finished speaking, he left the place and went to rest in his bedroom in the cave.

Mu Yu rarely uses the bedroom, but he always prepares one whenever he opens up a cave dwelling.

Lying in bed, recalling Han Li's nervous little expression, Mu Yu couldn't help but chuckle.

When he was refining the treasure, his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune fluctuated, sometimes bringing minor good luck and sometimes minor misfortune, like a neon light flashing.

Seeing this unusual situation, Mu Yu could easily guess Han Li's thoughts.

However, he believed in his talent and also made some necessary preparations.

If Han Li were to disregard the existence of his inner demon oath and turn against him at that time, then Mu Yu's preparations would come in handy.

Even at his weakest, Mu Yu, in the Core Formation stage, was no match for Han Li, in the Foundation Establishment stage.

……

Meanwhile, Han Li, who remained in the weapon-refining room, was shrouded in a deep fear that he could not shake off no matter what.

Han Li never imagined that his thoughts would be discovered when he saw Mu Yu release even his Golden Core.

What would have happened if I hadn't controlled my impulse?

Success, followed by being possessed by inner demons? Or failure, becoming a ghost under Mu Yu's control?

Even now, Han Li was beginning to suspect that Mu Yu had set a trap for him by having him go and watch the refining of his natal magic weapon.

For a moment, Han Li was in a state of utter confusion and could not calm down for a long time.

……

Three months later, Han Li failed in his attempt to form a core, and then decided to prepare for his second attempt to disperse his internal energy.

But this time, before dispersing his power, Han Li successfully combined the five evil pills into one, forming a golden core for Qu Hun.

The process of forming a Demon Core is not much different from that of a real Core Formation. The only difference is that a Demon Core cannot improve one's cultivation level in the future.

The extraordinary phenomenon of Core Formation reappeared above Xiaohuan Island, attracting the attention of many cultivators in the vicinity.

Thus, with various thoughts in mind, many cultivators rushed towards Xiaohuan Island.

"roll!"

Mu Yu impatiently transmitted his voice, while simultaneously releasing a trace of the pressure of a Core Formation stage cultivator.

More than three months have passed since the magic weapon was successfully crafted. Mu Yu has been focusing on cultivating the weapon during this time. Now, being disturbed by Han Li's puppet's Core Formation phenomenon, he is naturally a little impatient.

"Han Li, now that you have a Core Formation stage puppet, there is no need for you to stay in this place with its sparse spiritual energy any longer."

"Pack your things, we should go."

"For the next few decades, the green liquid in the Palm Heaven Bottle is yours to use, but remember not to waste it. You can buy some low-value spiritual plants directly with spirit stones."
