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

A Nascent Soul cultivator is actually willing to take me as a concubine?

In an instant, Mei Ning's mind was overwhelmed with immense joy, to the point that she seemed somewhat dizzy.

Ever since learning that she possessed the Jade Phoenix Marrow, Mei Ning's future cultivation goal was actually to find a high-level cultivator to rely on.

For her, finding a cultivator at the Core Formation stage or above who was willing to treat her kindly was already a stroke of good fortune in her life.

As for his own cultivation...

Unfortunately, although the spiritual energy generated by the body of the Jade Phoenix Marrow is profound, it has no use for Mei Ning herself; at most, it only makes her look a little better.

Given Mei Ning's current qualifications and financial resources, it is almost impossible for her to form a core.

"I do..."

After finally realizing what was happening, Mei Ning subconsciously agreed.

After she finished speaking, Mei Ning realized what she had said, and her face immediately flushed crimson.

She was so shy that she didn't dare to look at Mu Yu anymore.

In contrast, after hesitating for a moment, Zi Ling actually asked in return:

"If Zi Ling is unwilling, Senior Mu, are you truly willing to send me back to the Chaotic Star Sea?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu replied nonchalantly, "Of course! I have no habit of taking things by force. If Miss Zi Ling wishes to leave, she may do so."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of interest flashed in Zi Ling's eyes, but she still didn't agree immediately. Instead, she continued:

"Perhaps Zi Ling is being ungrateful, but I'd like to ask you something, senior..."

"If I were willing to become your concubine, would you be willing to avenge the blood feud of the Miaoyin Sect for me?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu did not immediately agree, but instead asked, "Tell me who the Miaoyin Sect's enemies are. If they are ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, that should be enough."

"But if it's someone like the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars, I don't have that kind of strength."

Mu Yu spoke casually, but his words revealed a strong sense of confidence.

Seeing this, Zi Ling felt a little more at ease.

Next, Zi Ling told Mu Yu about her parents' deaths and the loss of the Miaoyin Sect.

Overall, there's not much to say. It's pretty much what Mu Yu guessed. It's just that Miaoyin Sect developed too well, and then someone else stole the fruits of their labor.

As for the enemy that Zi Ling mentioned, Mu Yu knew a little about him, but he didn't expect it to be Master Miao He of the Biyun Sect.

As for whether there were other people behind Miaohe, and who they were, that was beyond Ziling's knowledge.

At the same time, Zi Ling didn't expect Mu Yu to be too dedicated; all she needed to do was kill Miao He.

"As a concubine in the Core Formation stage, asking me to kill a Nascent Soul stage cultivator... it's a bit pricey, but given Miss Ziling's looks, it's still worth it."

"I've agreed to your conditions, so what are your own thoughts?"

"Do you want to become my concubine in exchange for my help, or do you want to do it yourself?"

Only now did Zi Ling seem to realize what she had been saying, and a belated sense of shame welled up in her heart, her neck flushing red.

"Since Senior Mu has agreed to such demanding conditions, I... naturally have no objections."

After Zi Ling managed to finish speaking, she buried her head in Mu Yu's chest and refused to lift it up again.

Seeing this, Mu Yu didn't care how much of Zi Ling's actions were just an act. He simply hugged the two of them even tighter and then flew towards the Northern Liang Kingdom.

"Come back to the sect with me first. We'll talk about concubines after I've dealt with all the troublesome matters that follow."

……

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky above the Northern Liang Kingdom at an incredibly terrifying speed, but apart from Nascent Soul stage cultivators, very few people could notice this streak of light.

Even if someone occasionally notices it, most people would think it's some kind of special celestial phenomenon, and no one would even imagine it as a celestial ray.

After all, even for a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, the speed of this escape light was simply too outrageous.

"What brings you, fellow cultivator, to Yellow Maple Valley?"

As Mu Yu arrived at the entrance of his cave, a divine sense belonging to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator blatantly probed towards him.

At this moment, although life in Huangfeng Valley was a bit tough in Beiliang Kingdom, it was still manageable overall thanks to Linghu Ancestor's mid-Nascent Soul cultivation and the materials left behind by Mu Yu last time.

"Master, it's me! I've returned after successfully forming my Nascent Soul."

Mu Yu dispelled the concealment spell he had cast on himself and spoke to Elder Linghu.

When Linghu Patriarch sensed Mu Yu's cultivation level through his divine sense, he was visibly stunned and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

A streak of light appeared impatiently in front of Mu Yu, revealing the figure of the little old man, Linghu Ancestor.

"How old are you this year?"

Instead of immediately showing joy, Linghu Patriarch asked about Mu Yu's exact age.

Heaven knows how many bizarre speculations flashed through the mind of Patriarch Linghu during that brief moment of silence.

"Um... I'll be about 198 years old this year. I achieved Nascent Soul at the age of 196."

Although he didn't quite understand why Linghu Laozu was asking this question, Mu Yu still answered honestly.

With Mu Yu's current supernatural abilities, he could easily defeat Linghu Laozu.

However, since Ancestor Linghu had taken good care of Mu Yu when his cultivation was still shallow, he naturally had to take care of him now that Mu Yu had achieved success in his cultivation.

"Not even two hundred years old..."

"A Nascent Soul stage cultivator who is not even two hundred years old..."

"Disciple, are you really not some Nascent Soul stage old monster who possessed your body and returned?"

Linghu Patriarch finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked the question that had been bothering him for a while.

After all, Mu Yu had been away from Huangfeng Valley for far too long since he formed his core.

"An old monster possessing someone? Maybe, Master, you'd better watch carefully."

After making a joke, Mu Yu casually opened the cave's protective barrier and went inside first.

"Oh, right, Master. In another twenty years or so, you might see a cultivator with four spiritual roots who reaches the Nascent Soul stage at the age of over two hundred."

Linghu Laozu didn't pay attention to Mu Yu's teasing and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Meanwhile, Mu Yu had finished cleaning the cave dwelling that had been uninhabited for a long time.

"Master, these two beside me are the concubines I will soon take. Please arrange their proper status and cave dwellings in Yellow Maple Valley."

"As for the specifics of taking a concubine, we'll discuss that after I'm done with this busy period."

"By the way, Master, later you should go and summon all the Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the former six sects of Yue Kingdom. Let's set the time for three months from now."

"After returning this time, I will lead my former comrades from Yue to fight our way back to Yue."

"If anyone is unwilling to come, there is no need to force them. After conquering Yue, they will naturally have no territory left."

After speaking, Mu Yu summoned twenty-five Nascent Soul stage puppets behind him to demonstrate his current strength.

Linghu Laozu stared in disbelief at the scene before him.

At first, before Mu Yu took out these Nascent Soul stage puppets, Ancestor Linghu thought that Mu Yu had become arrogant after reaching the Nascent Soul stage and was preparing to give his disciple a warning.

But now, Linghu Laozu wondered if he had gone mad, or if he was trapped in some beautiful dream from which he could not wake up.

After a long while, Elder Linghu finally spoke again:

"Disciple, are you sure you weren't possessed by the Great Evolution Divine Lord of the Thousand Bamboo Sect from ten thousand years ago?"

"Or perhaps, you have found the relics left behind by the Great Evolution God."

Normally, one shouldn't ask too many questions about cultivators going out to seek opportunities, even if they are master and disciple. But at this moment, Ancestor Linghu really couldn't help himself.

Seeing this, Mu Yu was not too anxious. Instead, she began to recount her experiences over the years, starting from when Dongmen Tu discovered the ancient teleportation array.

There's nothing I can do; my husband has been through too much trauma and needs to calm down.

After recounting his experiences over the past period, Mu Yu personally demonstrated his current strength to the other party.

Only after Patriarch Linghu fully understood Mu Yu's current strength did he agree to unite with the other five factions to prepare for a joint counterattack against the Yu Ling Sect within the Yue Kingdom.

He never wanted to stay in that godforsaken place, the Northern Liang Kingdom, again.

As for Mu Yu, after seeing off Ancestor Linghu, he prepared to go into seclusion to refine the Azure Ice Flame.

Although Mu Yu already has many methods for dealing with Nascent Soul stage cultivators, the more life-saving trump cards one has, the better.

He rummaged through his storage bag and found a jade box covered with restrictive talismans. When he opened it, a golden sphere was revealed.

The crystal bead formed from the azure ice flames is trapped inside this warding-off divine thunder.

After pondering for a moment, Mu Yu took out the sword pellet and brought it close to the thunder pearl composed of warding-off divine thunder.

With a crackling sound of thunder, countless arcs of electricity were completely absorbed by the Azure Origin Sword Pill.

The crystal beads formed from the Azure Ice Flame, once freed from the restraint of the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, immediately began to spin rapidly in the air, as if they might transform back into the extremely dangerous Azure Ice Flame at any moment.

This thing is extremely dangerous even for a Nascent Soul cultivator, so Mu Yu did not retrieve the Azure Origin Sword Pill, but kept it by his side waiting.

Next, Mu Yu took the initiative to cast a spell to break the current stable state of the Azure Ice Bead, reactivating it into a blue ice flame.

As the true form of the Azure Ice Flame appeared, a bone-chilling cold gradually began to spread. If Mu Yu had not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, he would probably have had no choice but to get up and run for his life if he encountered this cold.

But for now, the Qingyuan Sword and Shield's autonomous defensive capabilities are sufficient.

As long as a Nascent Soul cultivator doesn't come into contact with the true form of the Azure Ice Flame, there is no danger.

"Looks like we need to hurry. The array formations and restrictions inside this cave haven't been updated yet, and they're not able to withstand this extreme cold."

Mu Yu murmured, and the next moment he used a spell with one hand to extract a wisp of the azure ice flame from it and directly inhale it into his stomach.

The moment the azure ice flame entered his body, Mu Yu felt as if his entire body was being frozen solid.

But it doesn't matter, the nascent soul in the body automatically released a wisp of infant fire, which began to refine the dry blue ice flame.

Using fire to control fire is the optimal solution for refining this extraordinary flame of heaven and earth. As long as the quantity is controlled, there will be no danger whatsoever.

After spending more than half a month, Mu Yu finally finished refining this wisp of dry blue ice flame.

The power of this flame is too overwhelming; even with Mu Yu's current strength, he still doesn't dare to refine it too much.

But it's okay, Mu Yu had already made other preparations for this situation.

After releasing a large number of lightning arcs through the Azure Origin Sword Pill, which once again enveloped the Azure Ice Flame and restored it to the form of a crystal bead, Mu Yu temporarily put it away.

After resting for about a day, Mu Yu recovered and took out another jade box from her storage bag.

This jade box looks exactly the same as the one that contained the Azure Ice Flame. After opening the lid, a golden sphere that looks exactly the same is revealed.

And what's stored inside this golden sphere is naturally the Asura Sacred Flame that Xuan Gu painstakingly fused together.

Following the same process, after absorbing the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder using the Azure Origin Sword Pill, the pale flame unique to the Asura Sacred Fire was revealed.

However, compared to the stability of the Azure Ice Flame, the Asura Sacred Flame seems rather unstable now, as if it might go out at any moment.

This Asura Sacred Flame was forcibly synthesized from Xuan Gu and had basically not undergone any refining. If Mu Yu hadn't sealed it with the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder in time, it would probably have dissipated over time.

This is probably what is meant by a fire without roots.

But it doesn't matter, as long as the Asura Sacred Flame still exists, there's no problem.

Once a cultivator refines the Heavenly Flame, it can gradually grow stronger through the cultivator's own cultivation.

Therefore, the quantity refined is not important, as long as the refinement is successful.

Of course, if you can refine more, that would be best, as it would also help to increase the power of these strange flames more quickly.

He opened his mouth and released a wisp of the newly refined Azure Ice Flame, which Mu Yu used as a foundation to refine the Asura Sacred Flame.

Compared to the Nascent Soul Flame, using the Azure Ice Flame to refine the Asura Sacred Flame is much faster.

Although Mu Yu is not a ghost cultivator and does not possess any Xuan Yin demonic energy, there are no special requirements for refining this kind of special flame.

However, its power may be somewhat weakened when used in the future due to the lack of special yin energy to drive it.

This refining process took more than a month.

Once the Asura Sacred Flame was completely refined, it was no longer a rootless flame, giving Mu Yu another means to target Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Unlike the Azure Ice Flame, which was refined in very small quantities, the Asura Sacred Flame, although also in need of refinement, was already capable of being used by Mu Yu to fight enemies.

After refining the Asura Sacred Flame, Mu Yu's adaptability to the Azure Ice Flame improved considerably. So, after resting for three days, Mu Yu took out the Azure Ice Pearl again and began refining the Azure Ice Flame.

Finally, before the March deadline arrived, Mu Yu successfully refined three strands of Azure Ice Flame, reaching the limit he could currently control.

With only three wisps of dry blue ice flame, it was barely enough to fight, but it should only have enough power for one move.

But it doesn't matter, the Asura Sacred Flame also has a move of its own, and its power is even stronger than the current Dry Blue Ice Flame.

……

Three months later, Mu Yu successfully completed her seclusion and went to the council hall of Huangfeng Valley.

Meanwhile, Huangfeng Valley also welcomed Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the other five sects of Yue Kingdom.

After all, they are a sect that lives together as a group, so their cohesion is quite strong when it comes to important matters.

It seems that Linghu Laozu has quite a bit of influence.

"Disciple, come here quickly... This is..."

Linghu Patriarch couldn't suppress his smile at this moment, and he introduced the seven Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the other five sects to Mu Yu with a hearty laugh.

Among them, the Hidden Moon Sect has three Nascent Soul stage cultivators, making it the strongest among the six sects of Yue Kingdom. The other four sects each have one Nascent Soul stage elder.

As for the names of these Nascent Soul stage cultivators, Mu Yu paid little attention to them, except for Nangong Wan.

"Alright, the purpose of summoning everyone here is naturally to reclaim the territory of Yue Kingdom from the hands of the Yu Ling Sect."

"As for the specific procedures..."

"I can fight alone. You are just going to stand by. If you see the situation and do not act, you can naturally retreat at will."

"As for the confidence that allows me to make such outrageous statements..."

As Mu Yu spoke, twenty-five puppets exuding the aura of Nascent Soul stage cultivators appeared behind him.

There were a total of twenty-five Nascent Soul stage puppets. Even though the puppets were slightly inferior to the supernatural powers of real Nascent Soul stage cultivators, such a number was enough to rival the combat power of everyone present.

And this doesn't even include Mu Yu's other supernatural abilities.

The ability to simultaneously control the consciousness of twenty-five puppets of the same level is rather terrifying.

This level of spiritual power is estimated to have already surpassed that of a typical mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Good! Fellow Daoist has such courage, then we old fellows will naturally not back down either. We will advance and retreat together this time."

The Nascent Soul stage cultivator from Huadaowu spoke first, followed by a chorus of agreement.

The three Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Hidden Moon Sect exchanged a few words, and although they remained silent, they tacitly agreed to Mu Yu's plan.

With things progressing to this point, Mu Yu has completed all the necessary tasks. Next, it will be up to Elder Linghu and the Nascent Soul stage cultivators from other sects to compete for the relevant benefits.

The spiritual veins within Yue Kingdom are barely adequate; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to support the former seven factions of Yue Kingdom. Therefore, Huangfeng Valley naturally wants to secure some of the territorial interests.

As for annexing the Yue Kingdom...

Forget about it. If Huangfeng Valley had four or five Nascent Soul cultivators, plus Mu Yu's presence, perhaps we could give it a try.

With only two Nascent Soul stage cultivators, Huangfeng Valley is unable to absorb such a vast territory.

But it doesn't matter, Mu Yu has already figured out where Huangfeng Valley will expand next.

After he reaches the Fallen Demon Valley, seven celestial mountains brimming with spiritual energy await him.
