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

The process of learning formations only lasted three months, probably because Mu Yu's skills in formations had improved considerably.

It's also possible that Xin Ruyin's mastery of formations hasn't progressed quickly enough.

Meanwhile, all the restrictions and formations within Muyu Cave had been set up.

It can be said that with the current level of formations in Mu Yu's cave, even if a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator were to launch a strong attack, it could at least hold out for more than ten days.

And this was all while there was no one inside the cave.

If Mu Yu were in charge, given his current strength, it would be highly likely that he could kill a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in a cave with numerous formations and restrictions.

After the formation inside the cave was set up, the first thing Mu Yu had to do was to reduce his workload.

Although Mu Yu carried all his belongings with him, just like Han Li, he had far more, so much so that he often felt that his storage bags were not enough.

Now that the cave dwelling has been completed, Mu Yu has created an exceptionally large treasure room within it, where he can store materials and other items that he doesn't currently need.

Even with Mu Yu's immense divine sense, the cleaning process took three days and three nights to completely empty the contents of Mu Yu's various storage bags.

Meanwhile, Mu Yu also cleaned up a lot of trash during the process.

Mu Yu casually threw these "trash" into the warehouse of Huangfeng Valley, instantly increasing the overall value of the items in the warehouse by about three or four times.

Of course, these things weren't given to the sect by Mu Yu for free.

Instead, disciples of the sect need to complete certain tasks assigned by Mu Yu or find certain special materials in order to exchange for them.

After disposing of the unused items and storing the remaining valuables in the treasure room within the cave, Mu Yu finally had only three storage bags left.

However, once the Great Evolution Divine Lord completes his research on the Soul Stones, the number of these storage bags may increase to four.

But compared to the previous dozens, the burden has been reduced too much.

To be honest, Mu Yu was quite unaccustomed to not having the protective covering made of the Spirit-Hidden Gauze on her back.

After dealing with the matters in the cave, Mu Yu retrieved two Soul Nourishing and Spirit Condensing Pearls and a four-eyed spirit fox from Xin Ruyin.

After sending the Great Evolution Divine Lord and Silver Moon to their respective private rooms, Mu Yu took Xin Ruyin and set off for the Heavenly Star Sect.

Normally, sects don't sell their sect scriptures. Even if a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator wants to ask for them, they will try to refuse.

The process is the same for Mu Yu.

Then, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Tianxing Sect obediently presented Mu Yu with various array formation manuals, as well as some lost or incomplete array formations or restrictions, in front of Mu Yu's wealth and power.

There was no way around it; Mu Yu had given too much.

If you still disagree with this price, then you're ungrateful.

At that time, after the other party leaves, the Tianxing Sect will probably encounter some natural disaster or something.

So, since the price was right, it was also because they were afraid that if they refused, Mu Yu would secretly do something underhanded.

Left with no other choice, the Tianxing Sect had to reluctantly agree to the trade.

Mu Yu also examined the arrays of the Tianxing Sect, and some of them were indeed quite effective, contributing to his improvement in strength.

However, Mu Yu couldn't see those incomplete formations and lost restrictions.

There was no way around it; although he could use and set up the complete formation, there was nothing he could do.

However, when it comes to the principles of formations and how to complete them, Mu Yu is powerless and can only rely on Xin Ruyin to study them on her own.

After returning from the Tianxing Sect, Mu Yu placed more than ten puppets he had brought from the Xutian Palace in the room of the Dayan Divine Lord, and then took out the Soul Stone for the Dayan Divine Lord to study.

After that, Mu Yu went into seclusion to study the Great Geng Sword Formation.

……

After nineteen years of seclusion, Mu Yu finally heard the news that the Tiannan Trade Fair would be opening soon.

It was at this moment that Mu Yu suddenly realized that she was already 225 years old.

After leaving the pass, Mu Yu, along with Zi Ling, Xin Ruyin, and Linghu Laozu, boarded the Nine Dragon Wind Chariot and headed to the Tiannan Trade Fair.

Although the Kowloon Wind Chariot is a bit grand, it is still quite comfortable to drive if there are many people.

"Disciple, isn't your magic weapon a bit too ostentatious?"

"Even those great cultivators at a later stage don't have this kind of air about them when they go out."

Linghu Laozu's personality is actually a bit like Han Li's; they are both very cautious. Naturally, he felt very awkward sitting in such a flamboyant carriage.

But for Mu Yu, although he wasn't used to it at first, he doesn't care anymore now.

"It's alright. With this vehicle's speed, those below the Nascent Soul stage won't even see it."

Mu Yu casually offered an explanation.

Ever since Mu Yu took out those twenty-odd Nascent Soul stage puppets, he has been in the eye of the storm, so it doesn't matter whether he gets to show off or not.

They sped along and soon arrived at the venue of the Tiannan Trade Fair, outside Tiantian City in the Yu Kingdom.

The reason why the Tiannan Trade Fair was chosen to be held here is naturally because this place belongs to the sphere of influence of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, and is not part of either the righteous or demonic path, so it is considered a neutral area.

In fact, Huangfeng Valley is a member of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, but it basically just plays a background role.

After all, before Mu Yu appeared, Huangfeng Valley only had Linghu Laozu, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

But now, the situation is quite different. If Mu Yu didn't disregard power, he would probably be in a leadership position in the Nine Kingdoms Alliance long ago.

The existence of the Nine Dragons Wind Chariot was far too conspicuous. As soon as it stopped outside Tiantian City, Mu Yu could sense a group of cultivators rushing towards it.

Before long, a similarly flamboyant scene appeared nearby, but it was a completely different style from Mu Yu's nine wind dragons.

Accompanied by melodious drumbeats, warriors in golden helmets and armor led the way, and most importantly, there was a magnificent golden chariot, with white cranes flying in front and behind, and palace maids following behind, making it look exactly like an emperor's procession.

Quite by coincidence, Mu Yu arrived at this place at almost the same time as Marquis Nanlong.

"That old fellow, Marquis Nanlong, still acts so extravagantly."

Linghu Laozu recognized the other party's identity and couldn't help but complain, but as soon as he finished speaking, his gaze couldn't help but fall on Mu Yu's Nine Dragons Wind Chariot.

Compared to the grand procession of the Marquis of Nanlong, who was like an emperor in the mortal realm, his disciple's nine wind dragons pulling the chariot seemed even more ostentatious.

"Who is this fellow Daoist ahead? Your magic weapon... is truly impressive!"

The voice of the Marquis of Nanlong came from the beast-drawn carriage, followed by the spread of a vast divine consciousness.

Mu Yu frowned slightly and released his divine sense to send back the part of the other party's probing divine sense without hesitation.

For Nascent Soul stage cultivators, such behavior of recklessly releasing their divine sense to observe carefully is tantamount to open provocation, and those with bad tempers might even start fighting.

"Huh? This divine sense..."

Marquis Nanlong had clearly suffered a setback, and he suddenly rushed out of the beast-drawn carriage, standing not far from Mu Yu and the others.

Clearly, the Marquis of Nanlong, who had just rushed out, was still carrying a mixture of anger and joy, but his expression immediately changed upon seeing Patriarch Linghu.

"Old Monster Linghu, then this one... must be the recently famous Fellow Daoist Mu, right?"

Clearly, once Marquis Nanlong discovered Mu Yu's true identity, he immediately dismissed the idea in his mind.

Just kidding, he's looking for an assistant to help him activate the formation, not to invite an ancestor back to worship.

He wasn't a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, so he couldn't possibly defeat more than twenty Nascent Soul level puppets.

"That is indeed me. May I ask what guidance you, Fellow Daoist Nanlonghou, may offer?"

Mu Yu calmly glanced at the other person and spoke.

He was actually looking forward to the Marquis of Nanlong taking him on a treasure hunt, so he wouldn't have to secretly follow him around.

Unfortunately, the Marquis of Nanlong would certainly not invite him.

"Uh... hahaha, seeing your magnificent magic weapon, I couldn't help myself."

"Friend, would you be willing to sell this treasure?"

Marquis Nanlong awkwardly found a topic to talk about, which barely managed to explain his behavior just now.

If he didn't explain properly, Marquis Nanlong was genuinely afraid that Mu Yu would take action against him.

"If there's a suitable price, selling wouldn't be a problem."

To the surprise of Marquis Nanlong, Mu Yu actually intended to sell this treasure.

Overjoyed, he tried to make an offer.

Faced with the offer from the Marquis of Nanlong, Mu Yu put away the Nine Dragons Wind Chariot without saying a word and threw it back to the other party for inspection.

"Take a good look before you name your price!"

This thing isn't just for show; its defensive capabilities and speed are top-notch among ancient flying treasures.

Second only to the Thunder Wind Wings and Wind Thunder Wings refined by Mu Yu.

After a brief inspection of the Nine Dragons Wind Chariot, Marquis Nanlong immediately realized that this was not something he could afford.

Although he certainly possesses some valuable treasures given his wealth, using them to buy a more prestigious mode of transportation would be too wasteful.

Even so, Marquis Nanlong tried to make an offer twice, but Mu Yu rejected it without hesitation both times.

Although Mu Yu didn't really like the Nine Dragons Wind Chariot magic weapon, he wouldn't use it to exchange for a bunch of junk.

Seeing that the deal had failed, Marquis Nanlong said a few polite words and then reluctantly returned the Nine Dragons Wind Chariot.

After that, Marquis Nanlong returned directly to the imperial entourage.

Compared to the beginning, the convoy now resembled a pretentious opera troupe.

"Alright, let's not worry about these trivial matters. Let's go into the city first and talk about it then."

……

Inside the VIP building in Tiantian City, which is specifically for entertaining Nascent Soul stage cultivators, Mu Yu got to know quite a few fellow Nascent Soul stage cultivators through the introduction of Elder Linghu.

As expected of a veteran Nascent Soul stage expert, Linghu Laoguai naturally has a very wide network of connections.

Before long, Mu Yu received invitations to several small trade fairs.

These small-scale trade fairs within the Nascent Soul stage are considered a tradition. After all, Nascent Soul stage cultivators rarely get together, so with more people now, they naturally can't wait to exchange their treasures.

Before the large-scale trade fair began, Mu Yu followed Linghu Laozu to participate in many smaller trade fairs, and actually found quite a few useful items there.

Incidentally, Mu Yu also traded away a considerable amount of the monster materials from the Chaotic Star Sea that were not currently needed.

Gradually, Mu Yu's reputation for treasures spread throughout the trade fair, and the long list of rare and precious materials that Mu Yu sought to purchase was also circulated by busybodies.

Then, a very interesting phenomenon occurred.

Occasionally, Nascent Soul stage cultivators would come to Mu Yu with treasures from his list, exchanging them for rare and precious items.

Mu Yu was able to provide most of them. Even if he couldn't provide them, he was willing to buy them at prices far exceeding the market value.

As a result, even more people came to do business with Mu Yu personally.

Among them was Master Tianjing, who used the ancient puppet-making method at the Nascent Soul stage to exchange several Soul Crystals from Mu Yu.

In this way, by the time the trade fair officially began, Mu Yu had collected half of the items on the list.

Judging from the perspective of the Nascent Soul stage alone, Tiannan is much richer than Luanxinghai.

Of course, it's also possible that the Extreme Yin Ancestor and the Miaohe True Man who were killed by Mu Yu were both penniless.

As the trade fair officially began, Mu Yu transformed into a human shopping machine, buying up almost every item she fancied that she could purchase with spirit stones.

As a result, Mu Yu's reputation for being "treasure-filled" and "rich" became even more prominent.

However, that doesn't matter. Right now, Mu Yu has enough confidence and is not afraid of any prying or coveting gazes.

Even if it were a late-stage Nascent Soul expert, Mu Yu was confident he could escape from their grasp and then seek revenge later.

If a formation or trap is set up and executed properly, even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator might not be unable to put up a fight.

But in a regular battle, it's best to run away as soon as possible.

After five days of this, Mu Yu calculated the time, told Linghu Patriarch, and released Yin Yue, who then transformed into his appearance to continue participating in the trade fair.

At this moment, after nineteen years of continuous nourishment with spiritual herbs, this four-eyed spirit fox has already increased its cultivation to the level of a seventh-level demon beast.

Although it's a bit of an exaggeration, Silver Moon is half a soul of a Nascent Soul stage demon beast. Her current cultivation is just a matter of possession and re-cultivation, and there are no bottlenecks at all, so it's normal for her to be a little faster.

With her identity as a level seven spirit fox demon beast, the magic weapon crafted by Mu Yu, and the guidance of Ancestor Linghu, it shouldn't be a problem for her to temporarily take Mu Yu's place.

Of course, after that, the operation cannot be too high-profile. Apart from the items on Mu Yu's list, Yin Yue does not need to buy anything else.

After arranging everything, Mu Yu took Xin Ruyin and quietly left Tiantian City, heading towards the Mulan Grassland.

Mu Yu had not received any prior information and did not know the exact location of Marquis Nanlong and his group.

But once he had a general idea of ​​the location, Mu Yu was able to find the location of the Marquis of Nanlong under the guidance of his innate ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

Thus, after about three days, Mu Yu successfully located the whereabouts of Marquis Nanlong and his companions.

As expected, Han Li was also dragged into the Marquis of Nanlong's schemes.

But why is Nangong Wan involved this time?

Oh, by the way, Nangong Wan and Han Li came to the trade fair together this time. It's quite normal for them to be looking for treasure together.

On the Ghost Spirit Sect's side, Wang Chan was still there, but Yan Ruyan's position had been replaced by a woman Mu Yu didn't recognize, who seemed to also have some kind of different attribute spiritual root.

Upon discovering the Marquis of Nanlong, Mu Yu and Xin Ruyin each donned a spirit-concealing veil to conceal their spiritual energy fluctuations and figures.

With Xin Ruyin's cultivation at the Core Formation stage, even with the Hidden Spirit Veil, it would be difficult to conceal her from the detection of those Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Therefore, Mu Yu could only rely on his powerful divine sense to stay far away from the edge of their divine sense detection and follow them all the way.

If not in front of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, the Concealing Spirit Veil's hiding effect is still quite excellent.

Unfortunately, Mu Yu couldn't make a move before discovering Cangkun Shangren's cave dwelling. Otherwise, once Nanlong Hou discovered Mu Yu's presence, he certainly wouldn't be willing to lead the way anymore.

Who knows, there might be other ideas.

Therefore, Mu Yu planned to follow behind Nanlong Hou all the way, and then reappear after arriving at Cangkun Shangren's cave.

And so, Mu Yu watched as their group crossed the territory of the Mulan people and were pursued by them...

Then the group regrouped and scared away the Mulan pursuers.

Mu Yu didn't see Han Li kill the Mulan people, because the person he was tracking had always been the Marquis of Nanlong.

After everyone reunited, Marquis Nanlong finally led a few people, spending several hours, to the vicinity of a grayish-white hill.

"Alright, this is the place. Next, Fellow Daoist Yun and I..."

"Who goes there?!"

Marquis Nanlong was only halfway through his sentence when he suddenly noticed something and looked to his right where there was nothing.

Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators present all changed their expressions drastically, their magical treasures poised to strike.

"As expected, this Spirit Concealing Veil is fine for Nascent Soul stage cultivators, but it's completely impossible for Core Formation stage cultivators to hide from the divine sense of mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivators."

With a ripple in the air, Mu Yu and Xin Ruyin's figures gradually came into view.

Upon seeing Mu Yu appear, everyone's expression turned grim.

During this period, news of Mu Yu's more than twenty puppets of the same level, as well as his large-scale purchase of rare and exotic treasures at the trade fair, spread widely. Everyone present recognized Mu Yu's appearance.

"Fellow Daoist Han, Fellow Daoist Nangong...aren't you two afraid of the backlash from your inner demons?"

Upon seeing Mu Yu appear, Marquis Nanlong immediately turned his attention to Han Li and his wife.

In fact, if it had been someone else who had been discovered, these Nascent Soul stage monsters would have already begun their attack.

But facing Mu Yu...

Unless they are late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, these people are no different from one person to him.

"We didn't leak the information. My husband and I have made a vow to our inner demons, so naturally we won't break our vow for a mere treasure."

Han Li spoke up and offered an explanation.

Mu Yu just stood there, without saying a word.

After exchanging glances for a moment, Marquis Nanlong spoke first: "Fellow Daoist Mu, could you tell me how you caught up with me?"

"What exactly are Fellow Daoist Mu's thoughts on this place?"
