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

Upon hearing Mu Yu's words, Han Li did not hesitate at all. The gray sword talisman he was tightly gripping shot out and wrapped around the neck of the blue-patterned Daoist, causing a large head to roll off.

This scene startled Mu Yu.

There's no other reason than that Han Li activated the talisman too quickly, completely defying common sense.

The only possibility is that Han Li had already secretly made hand seals and chanted incantations to activate the talisman while traveling.

That's too cautious! No wonder he's called Old Devil Han.

If I were currently on the enemy's side and didn't have the talent to avoid danger, the chances of survival against this imminent talisman would be quite low.

At this level of speed and attack, neither Heavenly Spiritual Root nor Heavenly Thunder Seed is of any use.

Of course, this is based on the premise that the innate ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune has not provided any hints.

"Amulet!"

Upon seeing this, the last remaining man in yellow lost control and shouted loudly, his face turning deathly pale and his eyes filled with despair.

Han Li responded with a delicate gray light that pierced through his chest!

And just like that, in a single encounter, Han Li had already dealt with the remaining enemies.

Immediately afterward, Han Li quickly retrieved the gray sword talisman. Looking at the talisman paper that had lost a lot of spiritual energy, a look of heartache appeared in his eyes.

But for Han Li at this moment, he would rather deplete the spiritual power of his talisman than use various spells in front of Mu Yu and struggle to defeat the enemy, or be defeated by the enemy.

Indeed, at this moment, Han Li had absolutely no confidence in winning and could only choose to win in this way.

"The power of the talisman is indeed extraordinary. It seems that choosing to cooperate back then was indeed a wise decision."

"Using it to deal with these useless people is a bit of a waste."

Mu Yu briefly searched the corpse, then destroyed it with a fireball spell. This was clearly not the first time he had done this, and he was extremely skilled at it.

Han Li watched silently from the side, but secretly made notes in his mind.

He tossed the storage bags of the Green-Patterned Daoist and the Yellow-Clad Man to Han Li, while Mu Yu put the remaining six into his pockets without even a hint of checking the spoils.

The possessions of a poor Qi Refining cultivator held no appeal for Mu Yu.

"Let's go, it's getting late. We still have a long way to go to get to Yellow Maple Valley..."

Mu Yu spoke to Han Li, but as she was about to say something, she noticed a hint of fear in Han Li's eyes.

He subconsciously looked in the direction Han Li was looking, only to find that an old man in brocade robes had appeared beside him at some point.

Startled, before he could even think about why his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune hadn't given him any hints, he instinctively flung three Heavenly Thunderbolts from his sleeve.

This thing was originally prepared by Mu Yu for Han Li.

He spent almost all his savings and put in a lot of effort to get this thing.

Even so, Mu Yu truly relied on his talent for avoiding misfortune and ultimately managed to obtain the three Heavenly Thunder Stones without any major danger.

After throwing out the three Heavenly Thunderbolts, Mu Yu didn't have time to feel sorry for them, or even to think about anything. She grabbed Han Li and started to run.

This whole operation was so smooth and efficient that even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would probably have to put in some effort if they encountered such a situation.

but……

Feeling her stiff body, Mu Yu looked helplessly at Han Li, who was also unable to move beside her.

"Interesting. I remember this was done by that greedy brat Lei Wanhe. I didn't expect that you, a Qi Refining cultivator, would actually be able to get three of them. You're really lucky."

Lei Wanhe? Kid?

Upon hearing these titles, Mu Yu immediately understood the identity of the person who had come, and the fear in her heart vanished instantly.

So it was him. No wonder his talent for avoiding misfortune and attracting good fortune didn't give any indication, and there were even some auspicious signs.

"Senior, you are none other than Patriarch Linghu of Yellow Maple Valley! My brother and I possess the Ascension Tokens of Yellow Maple Valley, and our journey here is precisely to join Yellow Maple Valley!"

As soon as Mu Yu finished speaking, she realized that her body had regained its ability to move.

Only then did Mu Yu turn his head and realize that the Heavenly Thunder Particle he had already activated was now floating in front of Ancestor Linghu. The traces of its activation had long since disappeared, and it was floating like an ordinary object.

"You little rascal, you're quite clever! You actually managed to guess my identity..."

"Since your ancestors had a connection with my Yellow Maple Valley, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Linghu Patriarch chuckled, scrutinized Mu Yu carefully for a long time, and then asked.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu immediately kowtowed and became a disciple without saying a word.

"Master, please accept my bow."

Although he understood that it must be because Patriarch Linghu had realized his identity as a Heavenly Spiritual Root that he had the idea of ​​taking him as a disciple.

But that doesn't matter!

The original plan was to join Huangfeng Valley and then find a way to showcase his talent and attract the attention of Elder Linghu.

Now that a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator is offering himself up, what is there to hesitate about?

"Hahaha, great! Excellent! I never expected that a casual trip would lead me to encounter a genius with a top-tier wood-type celestial spiritual root and a wood-spirit body. What incredible luck!"

Linghu Patriarch laughed heartily, then transformed into a streak of light, carrying Mu Yu and Han Li, and flew towards Huangfeng Valley... as if fleeing for their lives!

In fact, Linghu Laozu was indeed traveling at full speed towards Huangfeng Valley.

We've finally found a promising talent in the Nascent Soul stage. If other sects find out about it by accident, they'll definitely try to snatch him away.

The probability of a Heavenly Spirit Root breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is already quite high. If the complementary Wood Spirit Body is added, the probability will almost reach 90%.

Such terrifying talent was nothing short of heavenly good news for Linghu Laozu, whose lifespan was not yet long.

……

Inside Yellow Maple Valley, Han Li hadn't even had a chance to admire the scenery before he was thrown directly into the council hall.

"Boy, you can use the Ascension Token. After joining Yellow Maple Valley, remember to keep your mouth shut and don't reveal any information about my disciple, or I will extract your soul and refine it, so that you will never be reincarnated."

Immediately afterwards, Linghu Patriarch scanned the area with his divine sense and found the idle Li Huayuan, then directly handed Han Li over to him.

Logically speaking, it would have been safest for Patriarch Linghu to kill Han Li.

However, because of Mu Yu, Patriarch Linghu naturally could not do such a thing, lest it cause a rift between himself and his newly accepted disciple.

You see, he was counting on this newly accepted disciple to take over his position and uphold the reputation of Huangfeng Valley.

At times like these, it is absolutely crucial to avoid creating even the slightest barrier between us.

Furthermore, it's just a pseudo-spiritual root with four spiritual roots; it might die of old age someday, so there's no need for him to take action personally.

After finishing these tasks, Patriarch Linghu led Mu Yu back to his cave.

The Nascent Soul stage cultivator's escape speed was so fast that Mu Yu was still in a daze and it took him a long time to come to his senses.

Just as he came to his senses, Mu Yu was choked by the dense spiritual energy. His Everlasting Spring Technique started operating on its own, almost causing his cultivation to break through again.

After suppressing his restless cultivation, Mu Yu finally had the leisure to look around.

As the only Supreme Elder of Yellow Maple Valley, Linghu Patriarch's cave dwelling is simply like a fairyland.

All sorts of rare and precious treasures were everywhere, but Mu Yu could only guess the function of the huge Spirit Eye Spring in the very center, and the Spirit Eye Tree soaking in the Spirit Eye Spring.

Hmm, truly worthy of being a long-established sect.

The Spirit Eye Tree, shared by the Luoyun Sect, the Ancient Sword Sect, and the Hundred Crafts Academy, is also found in Huangfeng Valley, and I seem to recall other miraculous items as well.

Although this Spirit Eye Tree is not as good as the one shared by the three factions, it's good enough to have it.

"Kid, do you recognize what that is?"

Just as Mu Yu was lost in memories, Linghu Patriarch's curious question came from the side.

"Master, I once saw an introduction to spiritual objects in a book. I never expected that you would have two of them in your cave."

Mu Yu adapted to his role as her apprentice very quickly.

Hearing Mu Yu's compliment, Linghu Patriarch smiled very happily.

The reason, of course, was not Mu Yu's flattery, but that Huangfeng Valley had a worthy successor.

Although he is only in the Qi Refining stage at this moment, with the Wood-type Heavenly Spirit Root and Wood Spirit Body, the probability of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is at least 80%. If he adds some measures to guard against the Heart Demon Tribulation, this probability can even be increased to as much as 90%.

He still has plenty of lifespan left, enough to wait for him to form his nascent soul.

"Hahaha, two kinds? No, I have all kinds of spiritual eye items here. Look, this is the spiritual eye stone!"

"Once you break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, I will give you this Spirit Eye Stone!"

At this moment, Elder Linghu was being unusually generous.
