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

"If we don't take into account the difference in cultivation level and the time spent nurturing and refining the magic weapon, each of the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords you forged is about one-third stronger than mine."

"If you reach the Nascent Soul stage and can control seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords at the same time, then the overall power of your magic weapon set will be about a quarter stronger than the set I have."

"Of course, this is based on the premise that I did not set up a sword formation or use that sword pellet."

Mu Yu's assessment made Han Li like his Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword even more.

The disappointment of not being able to refine a natal magic weapon like Mu Yu's has also lessened considerably.

"What if we include sword formations and sword pellets?"

Suppressing the inexplicable joy in his heart, Han Li asked with some curiosity.

Mu Yu pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"The difference in sword formations is too great to compare."

"Don't worry, once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, your version of the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword will also have a sword formation, but it will need to be mixed with Geng Metal as an auxiliary material."

"Although adding Geng metal will affect the purity of the flying sword, there is another solution to this problem after ascending to the spirit world."

"The Great Geng Sword Formation, consisting of seventy-two flying swords, should be sufficient for the human realm."

"As for the sword pellet..."

"That's my trump card right now. If I were to unleash it directly, it could probably severely injure someone in the early Nascent Soul stage, but there's also a nearly 50% chance that the enemy will dodge it."

"I haven't decided what to do with the sword pellet after the Nascent Soul stage."

Listening to Mu Yu's description, Han Li couldn't even imagine what kind of mentality Mu Yu had to try to fight against a Nascent Soul stage being when he was only at the Core Formation stage.

Is this what genius thinking is all about?

Han Li was somewhat shocked by this, but also somewhat disagreed with it.

If he were to encounter a Nascent Soul stage being, he would definitely need to make a hasty escape.

"During your years in Tianxing City, have you encountered a female cultivator named Yuan Yao?"

Just as Han Li was feeling sentimental, Mu Yu suddenly asked a question out of the blue.

Han Li was somewhat puzzled, but after searching through his memories, he only found the name unfamiliar.

"I have been focusing on cultivation all these years and have not encountered the female cultivator that Brother Mu mentioned."

"This person..."

Han Li subconsciously recalled Nangong Wan, and for a moment he felt very awkward.

"Is that so... It doesn't matter. Yuan Yao and you aren't very close. It's just that she has a special constitution that's very useful to me."

Yuan Yao didn't have much contact with Han Li in the early stages; at most, they had some interactions, which shouldn't have affected Yuan Yao's development.

Therefore, even if we can't find the Nascent Soul, we should eventually be able to see her in the Void Heaven Palace.

However, by then, Yuan Yao's senior sister will be in a more troublesome situation.

Based on the timeline, Han Li is probably... more than forty years ahead of schedule in achieving the Core Formation stage?

Wow, it's so much earlier than expected...

If you do the math, since Nangong Wan didn't drain his cultivation, he saved over twenty years of time to recover.

At the same time, Han Li did not complete the third level of the Great Evolution Technique before forming his core, thus saving more than twenty years.

Does it take Han Li more than 20 years to successfully cultivate the third level of the Great Evolution Technique?

If you calculate it that way, then my cultivation speed back then was quite fast.

"Han Li, I didn't realize it until now. I actually helped you form your core more than forty years earlier. No wonder you didn't meet Yuan Yao."

"Or rather, what surprises me even more is that, with your aptitude, you were able to form your core more than forty years ahead of schedule. It seems that your talent is not as bad as I imagined."

Mu Yu brought up Han Li's aptitude again, which made him feel uneasy. The joy he had felt at achieving the Core Formation dissipated considerably with Mu Yu's words.

"Brother Mu, don't forget the oath we made to our hearts that there can be no lies between us."

At this moment, Han Li, who was in a bad mood, also subtly expressed his doubts about Mu Yu's words.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu glanced at Han Li and said irritably:

"I remember. Do you think someone of your caliber is worthy of me breaking my oath to my inner demons?"

In other words, I really achieved the Core Formation more than forty years ahead of schedule?

After confirming the news, Han Li was unsure whether he should be happy or frustrated.

"Brother Mu, I believe you can foresee my future, but are you sure there won't be problems if you change it so casually?"

With some doubts in his mind, Han Li naturally asked the question immediately.

"I don't know, but it's probably fine. If anything happens, my talent will remind me."

Mu Yu's assurances did not reassure Han Li in any way.

Mu Yu, however, ignored Han Li's current mood and, after thinking for a moment, continued:

"Having stayed in Tianxing City for so long, have you ever heard of the Heaven-Mending Pill?"

"I have a... well, a Heaven-Mending Pill that retains most of its medicinal power. It can improve the purity of your spiritual root and accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy, which will greatly benefit you in your future Nascent Soul formation."

"The effect isn't that significant; it'll probably just reduce your four spiritual roots to about three."

"Of course, this only refers to the speed of absorbing spiritual energy, not simply removing a spiritual root."

"Go find Yuan Yao for me, and this Heaven-Mending Pill will be yours."

When Mu Yu mentioned that it could improve the purity of spiritual roots, Han Li was completely bewildered.

Mu Yu cannot lie to herself.

In other words, such a wondrous object that can replenish a person's spiritual roots actually exists?

At this moment, Han Li silently made a decision in his heart: no matter what the cost, he must get the Heaven-Mending Pill from Mu Yu.

"Brother Mu...you really know my weakness!"

Han Li gave a wry smile and continued to ask, "I agreed. It's just about finding someone."

"But, shouldn't you tell me more about this female cultivator named Yuan Yao?"

"The Chaotic Star Sea is so vast that it's very difficult to find someone if you only know their name."

Han Li was already impatient and wanted to obtain the Heaven-Mending Pill as soon as possible to improve his spiritual root aptitude.

Since embarking on the path of cultivation, his spiritual root talent has been constantly ridiculed by others, and his spiritual root problems have made it difficult for him to make any progress in cultivation.

If it weren't for the existence of the little green bottle, Han Li probably wouldn't have been able to advance to the high-level of the Qi Refining stage by now.

"Hmm, let me think. She has a senior sister named Yanli, who is probably cultivating on an island near Kuixing Island right now."

"After a while, Yanli will be captured by the young master of Qingyang Sect and used as a furnace."

"Afterwards, the two sisters joined forces to assassinate the young master of the Qingyang Sect, and Yanli's physical body was destroyed..."

That's about it. I can't see any more details.

Mu Yu's series of descriptions almost recounted Yuan Yao's entire life.

But the only things that truly helped Han Li in finding Yuan Yao were those two sentences.

"Although I've seen it many times, every time I hear you speak so casually about other people's future, it still sends chills down my spine."
