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

Currently, Mu Yu has prepared three trump cards for fighting against Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

These three trump cards are virtually invincible against Core Formation stage cultivators, but if you want them to have any effect on Nascent Soul stage cultivators, each one requires a significant amount of time to prepare.

If Mu Yu were to encounter an attack from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, he would still have no choice but to flee.

The first type is naturally the perfected Qingyuan Sword Formation.

The Qingyuan Sword Formation, after being perfected by Xin Ruyin, requires a certain amount of preparation time. Once the preparation is complete, it can immediately unleash its full power, no longer as weak and powerless as before.

According to Elder Linghu's personal test, once the Qingyuan Sword Formation is set up, it can trap a Nascent Soul cultivator for about half an incense stick's time.

It has a high probability of injuring a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage, and if you're lucky, it might even seriously injure them.

Of course, the array used during the test was the kind with seventy-two mid-grade spirit stones embedded in it, and after using the array, Mu Yu's mana was completely depleted.

If Mu Yu had used a formation with nine high-grade spirit stones, it would have been able to trap a Nascent Soul cultivator for about half an hour, and most likely severely injure him.

As for killing him... don't even dream about it, that's practically impossible.

In battles between Nascent Soul cultivators of the same level, it's extremely rare for a fight to end in a life-or-death situation. Mu Yu, at the Core Formation stage, shouldn't even dream of such a thing happening.

The second trump card is the 103 Core Formation stage puppets left behind by Mu Yu.

If they were to deploy their forces and unleash a barrage of attacks from the Core Formation stage puppets, they could likely inflict significant suffering on the Nascent Soul stage cultivators, thus buying Mu Yu some time to escape.

As for the third type, it is still a formation.

However, this time the formation was the Inverted Five Elements Formation that Xin Ruyin and Mu Yu had completed together over the past five years.

This formation has now been restored to 70% of its original strength, making it quite powerful.

Once this formation is set up, it can trap a Nascent Soul stage cultivator for up to half a day, according to Elder Linghu's personal test.

"Disciple, with so many methods prepared for Nascent Soul stage cultivators, I really suspect you're planning to ambush and kill a Nascent Soul stage cultivator."

Linghu Patriarch frowned deeply as he looked at the bulging storage bags hanging around Mu Yu's waist.

These past few days, he's suffered quite a bit at Mu Yu's hands thanks to her petty tricks.

If Mu Yu weren't the only heir in Huangfeng Valley, Elder Linghu would never have spoiled him to such an extent.

There was no way around it; Mu Yu's talent was simply too great, and the things she brought out were far too valuable.

"I'm just preparing to go to a place where there are many Nascent Soul stage cultivators, so I need to prepare some ways to escape."

Mu Yu spoke slowly, but did not explain in detail.

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Linghu frowned slightly, and after a long while, he reluctantly took out a jade talisman from his storage bag.

"This item was obtained by me through a perilous adventure, and its power is extraordinary. Even today, I still haven't mastered its correct usage."

"Even if you can only unleash a fraction of the jade talisman's power, it will be enough to save your life."

"Apprentice, remember to come back safely."

"After my lifespan is exhausted, Huangfeng Valley can only rely on you."

A hint of vulnerability, long unseen, appeared in Linghu Laozu's expression.

Clearly, Elder Linghu understood that Mu Yu would be leaving again after five years of returning.

Although it is common for cultivators to go out in search of opportunities, the fact that Mu Yu could gain something comparable to the net worth of several Nascent Soul stage cultivators with each trip still left Ancestor Linghu somewhat speechless.

If he were two or three hundred years younger, Patriarch Linghu would rather risk the Yellow Maple Valley having no successor than uncover the secrets in Mu Yu's mind.

But for now... let's forget about it. There's no need to waste the future of Yellow Maple Valley because of our own selfish desires.

……

After leaving the Northern Liang Kingdom, Mu Yu thought about it for a while and still didn't go to Yunmeng Mountain.

That corpse demon was too powerful; the risks for a Core Formation cultivator were too great, and it was completely unnecessary.

Let's continue mining in the Chaotic Star Sea and dig out the top-grade spirit stones as soon as possible. It would be troublesome if someone else discovered the existence of the spirit stone mine beforehand.

As Mu Yu traveled towards the Yue Kingdom, he flew away while trying out the invisible escape technique he had developed.

In the past five years, apart from studying miscellaneous subjects such as sword techniques and sword skills, Mu Yu's greatest gain has been this formless escape technique.

We have prepared three methods to deal with Nascent Soul stage monsters. If we fail to escape due to a lack of speed, it will be quite ridiculous.

Old Monster Qiong's Invisible Escape Technique is a dual-attribute technique of metal and water, which is somewhat out of place in the current human world where single-attribute techniques are the mainstream.

If it were in ancient times, before the human realm was invaded by the demon realm and before the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became so scarce, then perhaps Old Monster Qiong's dual-attribute cultivation technique wouldn't have been stuck at the Great Perfection of Core Formation, unable to make any further progress.

Mu Yu naturally couldn't cultivate techniques that combined the attributes of metal and water, but he was extremely envious of the unparalleled concealment ability of the Invisible Escape Technique.

Fortunately, I have Linghu Laozu, a Nascent Soul stage master, to guide me. We can study together. I don't expect to be able to modify my own cultivation technique, but it would be good if we could summarize a few escape techniques.

Over five years, with the help of Elder Linghu and a few Core Formation stage cultivators from Huangfeng Valley, Mu Yu successfully developed a secret escape technique based on the Invisible Escape Technique.

This secret technique can only be used to improve speed and stealth; in other aspects, it is far inferior to the original formless escape technique.

But for Mu Yu, the ability to escape using this invisible escape technique was enough.

This secret technique, when consuming essence and blood, can achieve a speed comparable to that of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator for a short period of time, and also has functions such as concealing one's form and eliminating spiritual energy fluctuations.

It can be said that as long as Mu Yu is not instantly killed by a Nascent Soul cultivator, he should be able to escape with his life from the pursuit of the Nascent Soul cultivator.

After flying all the way to the territory of Yue Kingdom, Mu Yu frowned and stopped his escape.

Ahead... there are signs of a minor misfortune.

At this moment, the entire Yue Kingdom is under the rule of the Yu Ling Sect, and if Mu Yu wants to go to the Chaotic Star Sea through the ancient teleportation array, then the Yue Kingdom is a must-go destination.

"Little Fierce, it shouldn't encounter any Nascent Soul stage cultivators, right?"

After thinking it over, Mu Yu decided not to take the risk and instead found a market nearby and rented a small courtyard for the time being.

It's just a minor ominous sign; it'll pass.

This wait lasted for more than three months.

For more than three months, whenever Mu Yu wanted to go to Yue, the ominous signs would appear, without any change.

Finally, Mu Yu couldn't wait any longer.

If it were a major disaster, Mu Yu would never take any risks, but since it's only a minor one, it means there's not much of a problem.

Having made up his mind, Mu Yu activated the Invisible Escape Technique, transforming into a streak of light invisible to the naked eye, and carefully flew towards the territory.

"Young friend ahead, please stop and have a chat!"
