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

Seeing Linghu Patriarch's smiling face, Mu Yu sensed something in his heart and then spoke:

"No, Master. I want them all..."

"Could I exchange a divine sense technique that can double the divine sense of a Core Formation cultivator and greatly increase the success rate of Nascent Soul formation, plus a Qingyuan Sword Manual that can be cultivated up to the Deity Transformation stage, for these rewards?"

As Mu Yu spoke, Linghu Patriarch looked somewhat taken aback.

In fact, if it weren't for the hints from his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, Mu Yu would naturally not have dared to tell these things to Ancestor Linghu.

But for now, Mu Yu is still willing to believe in her talent for avoiding misfortune and attracting good fortune.

"Your apprentice is quite bold. And his luck is much better than I expected..."

"Aren't you afraid that I might become interested in your extraordinary adventures?"

Linghu Laozu stared intently at Mu Yu, putting considerable pressure on him.

"Don't worry, because I didn't actually have any extraordinary encounters. I just know more than others. This is a talent I was born with, a talent that even possession cannot take away."

"If the Ancestor wants to know those things, then feel free to search my soul."

Mu Yu appeared fearless on the surface, but in reality, she was still somewhat worried.

Is "seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune" used in this way?

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. I didn't expect you little brat to have me cornered. Don't worry... I can't bear to search your soul."

"Take what you want, it's all material possessions. After all, once I die, the entire Yellow Maple Valley will be yours."

"But the prerequisite is... you have to reach the Nascent Soul stage before I die."

Linghu Laozu's attitude suddenly softened, his words carrying a hint of warning and reminder.

Clearly, the innate ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune is correct; it is the simplest and most profitable method.

"With my talent, reaching the Nascent Soul stage shouldn't be too much of a problem."

"But I need some cultivation techniques, including the Divine Sense Technique, which is in the hands of that Thousand Bamboo Sect disciple surnamed Lin in Yellow Maple Valley. The Great Evolution Technique is helpful for condensing the Nascent Soul."

"The complete Qingyuan Sword Manual is in the hands of a disciple of the Giant Sword Sect. I do not know his name, but I do know that he uses a giant sword mixed with silver essence."

"There is a silver page in his storage bag. It is just a shell. Melting it will give you a golden page. After infusing it with the magic power of the Azure Origin Sword Manual, you can obtain the complete Azure Origin Sword Manual."

"Oh, right. Among the cultivation manuals collected by Li Huayuan, there is also a golden page that records a cultivation technique called the Condensing Yuan Technique. I need that too."

"Those golden pages record a method for those who cultivate the Azure Origin Sword Technique to forge their natal magic weapon."

Mu Yu wasn't quite sure if the giant swordsman from the Giant Sword Sect had the Azure Origin Sword Manual in his storage bag, but since his innate ability to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune allowed him to say so, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Linghu Patriarch was somewhat stunned upon hearing these words.

These messages are far too detailed.

Linghu Patriarch gave Mu Yu a deep look, knowing that this kid must have some secrets, but after thinking it over, he decided to ignore him.

After all, even if there were some hidden opportunity, could it really allow one to break through from the Nascent Soul stage all the way to the Deity Transformation stage?

"You brat, you just became my apprentice and you're already making this old man do all the hard labor!"

"The problems within our sect are relatively easy to handle, but the ones from the Greatsword Sect..."

"It seems the old man really had to make the trip."

"Name your terms. If you, kid, don't reach the Nascent Soul stage before my lifespan runs out, hehe... we'll settle the score then."

Linghu Patriarch's attitude was surprisingly friendly, which was somewhat different from the cruel image Mu Yu remembered of him who abandoned half of the sect's disciples as expendable pawns.

"It's alright, it's alright. If I can't break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I estimate I won't even live as long as my master."

Mu Yu spoke with a grin.

At this moment, the relationship between the two truly began to resemble that of a master and disciple.

"Hey, if you dare to die before me, I'll extract your soul and refine it, so you won't embarrass me."

Although Linghu Laozu said this in a joking tone, Mu Yu could sense from the moment he said it that he really had this idea through his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

A shiver ran down her spine, and Mu Yu immediately changed the subject.

"Master, Core Formation and Nascent Soul Formation are too far away for me. Let's talk about my Foundation Establishment breakthrough first."

"My cultivation has been too rapid lately. Although I haven't experienced any instability in my magical power, but..."

Mu Yu's striking shiver and stiff attempt to change the subject were naturally very noticeable to Linghu Laozu.

Through these clues, Linghu Patriarch roughly guessed the hidden talent of Mu Yu.

With a Heavenly Spiritual Root and a Wood Spiritual Body, he also possesses a talent for foreseeing... or gathering certain intelligence information.

This talent is truly enviable; if only it had been two or three hundred years earlier…

After listening absentmindedly to Mu Yu's description, Linghu Patriarch felt somewhat amused and exasperated.

He has often confided in others about encountering bottlenecks in his cultivation, but this is the first time he has encountered someone like Mu Yu who is overly worried about his cultivation progressing too quickly.

"Your cultivation speed is normal. It seems you only know that you have a wood-type celestial spiritual root, but you don't know that you also have a wood-type spiritual body."

"Cultivators with spiritual bodies naturally cultivate much faster than others, not to mention that you have a wood-type heavenly spiritual root and a wood spiritual body, so it's normal for your cultivation speed to be even faster."

"In ancient times, there were those with exceptional talent who could establish their foundation in just one hundred days. Your talent is nothing special, so don't worry too much. Just focus on your cultivation."

"Alright, for now, you can cultivate in my cave."

"Once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, I will have someone arrange a cave dwelling for you."

……

Mu Yu's cultivation here went smoothly, while Han Li on the other side was met with a cold reception.

At first, Li Huayuan showed some concern for Han Li because he was someone sent over by Linghu Laozu.

However, after learning about Han Li's identity as a disciple with four spiritual roots, his attitude immediately changed. In the end, Han Li didn't even get a nominal disciple position and was directly dismissed by Li Huayuan.

The subsequent process was not much different from the original story; the Foundation Establishment Pill was still "traded" away.

However, unlike in the original story, this time, Uncle Ye not only did not offer any discount on the goods he traded for the Foundation Establishment Pill, but also gave him a lot more, almost reaching double the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

This was naturally due to Li Huayuan's influence.

Even with double the wealth, it was of little use to Han Li. He wasn't short of money, and in a place like Yue Kingdom, Foundation Establishment Pills were always in high demand but short supply.

Regardless, Han Li has officially joined the Yellow Maple Valley and chosen a leisurely job planting medicinal herbs.

After settling down, Han Li waited for Mu Yu to come to his door, but for several months he did not hear any news.

At first, Han Li wanted to gather some information.

But when he learned that the Supreme Elder of Huangfeng Valley was surnamed Linghu, he immediately retreated.

And so, Han Li cultivated spiritual herbs and took pills to practice, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.

Finally, after the Yellow Dragon Pill and Golden Marrow Pill had lost their effects, Han Li was able to see Mu Yu, whom he had been longing to see.

At this moment, Mu Yu's cultivation level had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Mu... Uncle-Master, it's been a long time."
