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

"I didn't expect you to actually be willing to go."

Mu Yu looked at Han Li with some surprise. He had already prepared to take the second action plan.

Because the Han Li in Mu Yu's memory would never take such a risk, much less entrust his safety to others.

It seems I have indeed changed quite a few things.

"But you can rest assured, I won't let you get into any situations that are too dangerous."

"These are puppets at the Nascent Soul stage. With your current spiritual power, you should only be able to barely control one. I'll give you three as backups."

"Be careful not to let Feng hope find out, but as far as I know, Feng hope shouldn't go through your storage bag. That guy is pretty arrogant."

"But just to be safe, let's do some disguise."

"And this is a newly crafted, enhanced version of the Spirit Concealing Veil. Once fully activated, this treasure can conceal you for several dozen breaths without being detected, even in front of Feng Xi."

"If something unexpected happens, this treasure should give you enough time to cause a huge scene."

"And there's this Azure Nether Needle Talisman Treasure, the Invisible Needle Talisman Treasure..."

Since Han Li was willing to take the risk, Mu Yu naturally wouldn't be stingy and armed Han Li to the teeth.

In this way, even if something unexpected happens, these things should be enough for Han Li to escape from Feng hope's cave.

Having obtained so many treasures, Han Li's slight sense of crisis disappeared.

Mu Yu also received a string of beads carved from Soul-Nourishing Wood from Han Li, which she could wear around her neck to nourish her soul at all times.

The previously finished Soul-Nourishing Wood had been refined into magical artifacts by Mu Yu, so these were naturally newly grown.

Although the effect of the Soul Nourishing Wood alone is not as good as the Soul Nourishing and Spirit-Nourishing Beads refined by Mu Yu, the good thing is that the Soul Nourishing Wood has no restrictions. Just by wearing it, one can nourish the spirit and cultivate the soul on their own.

Although the Soul Nourishing and Spirit Enriching Pearl was very effective, Mu Yu did not have the leisure to let her soul enter it to sleep.

Next, the two packed up their belongings and cleaned up any traces of the cave before flying towards the vicinity of Qiyuan Island, led by Mu Yu.

On the way, Mu Yu took out two magical artifacts that could change one's appearance, scent, and even spiritual energy fluctuations, and changed their appearances together with Han Li.

After all, once they left the Void Heaven Palace, his and Han Li's names had naturally spread throughout the Chaotic Star Sea. If they didn't want to cause any trouble, it would be best to hide their identities.

After traveling for several months, Mu Yu finally arrived near Qiyuan Island, but instead of going to Qiyuan Island, he wandered around the nearby human territory.

At first, Han Li thought Mu Yu was looking for Feng hope's lair, since the two of them had come for Feng hope.

However, after questioning, Han Li discovered that Mu Yu at this moment had no idea about the location of Feng Xi's nest.

"I don't know what's wrong with the specifics, but I have a way to find it, that's all that matters."

Faced with Mu Yu's explanation, Han Li was at a loss for words.

After searching for two more months, Mu Yu finally brought Han Li to a very secluded market town to participate in an exchange event for Core Formation stage cultivators.

As for how he found it, he naturally relied on his talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

As long as one is clear about one's own intentions, the talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune can help Mu Yu achieve anything to a certain extent.

Of course, it can't be too outrageous. For example, Mu Yu needs to know if the copper plate recording the Brahma Saint True Demon Art will actually appear.

Mu Yu, using the alias Zhang Tie, obtained a copper piece inscribed with ancient demonic script and some other auxiliary materials from the exchange meeting, showing no intention whatsoever of searching for the Fengxi Cave.

Before leaving, he purchased a female cultivator named Wen Siyue from the organizers of the trade fair, namely the Miaoyin Sect.

Normal sects would not use female disciples as bargaining chips, but the Miaoyin Sect at this moment was clearly not normal.

After arriving at the Chaotic Star Sea, Mu Yu didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Myriad Sounds Sect except at the beginning, but it seems that the Myriad Sounds Sect is now following its original storyline.

Indeed, without sufficient power, if the business becomes too large and there are too many beauties, naturally someone will come to reap the benefits. This has little to do with Mu Yu.

After leaving the market town, Mu Yu led Wen Siyue and Han Li to the vicinity of a deserted island.

"Han Li, do you know a cultivator named Wen Qiang?"

Upon hearing Mu Yu's question, Han Li was taken aback before searching his memory for information about Wen Qiang.

"I do know them, but we're not very familiar with each other; we've only met a few times."

If Mu Yu hadn't deliberately reminded him, and if cultivators didn't have photographic memories, Han Li really wouldn't have remembered who Wen Qiang was.

"Yes, that's enough. This woman is Wen Qiang's daughter, but I rescued her from the Miaoyin Sect, not because of Wen Qiang."

As he spoke, Mu Yu fixed his gaze on Wen Siyue, whose emotions were currently complex, and calmly said:

"I want to know the location of the cave of a great demon in the Transformation Stage. You should know where it is."

"If not, do you have a treasure map?"

"Tell me what I want to know, and you can leave."

Faced with Mu Yu's question, Wen Siyue felt a little strange, but she still honestly told him all the information she knew.

Only now did Han Li realize that Mu Yu had found the location of Feng hope's lair by asking a female cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Moreover, this Foundation Establishment stage female cultivator actually knew the location of a lair of a Transformation stage Riftwind Beast.

"Very well, these are yours as a reward. You may leave now."

Mu Yu casually tossed a storage bag to Wen Siyue and then dismissed her.

……

"The Qiyuan Sea area is already close to the territory of the demon beast forces."

"Brother Mu, are you sure you want to perform Nascent Soul formation in this kind of place?"

After arriving near Feng hope's lair, Han Li clearly did not think highly of the terrain.

If it were him, he would naturally prefer to choose a human territory rather than form his Nascent Soul here.

"It doesn't matter. The celestial signs of Nascent Soul formation don't last very long. Even if we're discovered, it's fine. We have plenty of time to leave."

Upon hearing this, some strange images involuntarily surfaced in Han Li's mind.

Being chased by a group of transformed-stage demonic beasts right after forming the Nascent Soul stage? That must be quite exciting.

But right now, I should be the one who's more excited.

Looking at the place that was beginning to take shape in the distance, Han Li felt a little uneasy.

If it weren't for Mu Yu's presence, Han Li would never have done something so stimulating.

Seeing that Mu Yu had already set up a concealment formation on the nearby islands, hiding all his presence.

Han Li hesitated for a moment, then reached out and touched the Thousand Mile Talisman and the Heart-Connecting Jade in his arms before hiding in a sea area near Fengxi Island.

According to the agreement between Han Li and Mu Yu, he needs to observe for three months before carefully collecting the Companion Demon Grass.

After collecting the demon-accompanying grass, leave immediately.

Meanwhile, Feng hope will likely show up and grab him, asking him to help refine the treasure.

During this process, Han Li was also able to break through the bottleneck and successfully raise his cultivation level to the late stage of Core Formation.

Then came the events of Han Li's plot against the three demons while he was refining the treasure, and his summons of Mu Yu, among other things.

Three months later, with a mix of trepidation and excitement, Han Li cautiously stepped onto the island and discovered several companion plants on the outskirts of Feng hope's lair.

Just as Han Li's face lit up with a hint of joy after he put away the demon-accompanying grass, he heard Feng hope's voice.

"You've lingered around here for so long, just for these few plants. You human cultivators are really strange."

……

Han Li was feigning compliance in Feng hope's cave, while Mu Yu was obediently hiding somewhere, perfecting the method for refining the Wind and Thunder Wings.

Seven months later, Mu Yu finally saw two level-eight demonic beasts arrive.

Clearly, with the arrival of the turtle demon and the poisonous dragon, the great benefactor Feng's plan to refine the Wind and Thunder Wings is about to officially begin.

Donning the newly crafted Spirit-Concealing Veil, Mu Yu quietly approached the island where Feng hope's lair was located and silently began to break the restrictions on the island.

Even if Feng hope is a level nine demon beast who likes human technology, how strong can the restrictions he controls as a demon beast be?

Mu Yu broke the restriction in a very short time.

As a result, Feng hope and the others, who were busy refining treasures, were unable to sense the real scene outside through the restriction.

But that wasn't enough. Mu Yu then took out array plates, array flags, and other items, and set up a large concealment array and two powerful illusion arrays outside Feng Xi's cave.

After Mu Yu finished setting up the formation, the jade pendant on her chest shattered.

Clearly, Han Li has already done what he needed to do.

The rest is up to him to handle.

With a wave of his hand, he released two snake-guard puppets and one golden-haired puppet, and Mu Yu charged straight in.

Fengxi's nest is located underwater, which is quite strange for a winged creature. Its purpose is probably to refine the Wind and Thunder Wings.

Relying on the two short halberds in the hands of the snake guard puppets, Mu Yu charged recklessly all the way and directly broke into the treasure refining area inside Feng hope Cave.

Mu Yu scanned his surroundings with his divine sense but did not find the young Riftwind Beast or any other demonic beasts.

It's unclear whether the young Riftwind Beast reached level five cultivation and could live freely, or whether Feng hope sent it away early for the purpose of refining treasures.

"Nascent Soul Stage!!!"

"Damn it, is this also part of your human race's scheme?"

But after Mu Yu broke in and released his divine sense, the three demons who were lying on the ground were already somewhat desperate.

"Nascent Soul Stage!!!"

"Damn it, is this also part of your human race's scheme?"

But after Mu Yu broke in and released his divine sense, the three demons who were lying on the ground were already somewhat desperate.

Because they sensed Mu Yu's Nascent Soul stage level divine sense.

Given their current state, perhaps that late-stage Core Formation human couldn't do anything to them, but if a Nascent Soul cultivator were here, they would certainly be doomed.

"Good news, I am not a Nascent Soul stage cultivator."

"But the bad news is, I really do have the ability to kill you all."

The moment Mu Yu appeared, the three demons and one human present all showed expressions of surprise and delight.

To the delight of the three demons, Mu Yu was only a Core Formation stage cultivator, and it was very likely that he wouldn't have time to kill them.

But the appearance of the three Nascent Soul stage puppets behind Mu Yu immediately changed the expressions of the three demons.

Without the slightest hesitation, the two snake-guard puppets, wielding short halberds, attacked the poisonous dragon and the turtle demon on the ground.

Faced with two level-eight demonic beasts who were powerless to resist, the snake guard puppet's attack easily tore a huge wound on their bodies.

"Human, you need to think this through. You're about to kill the dragon race, the descendants of the Golden Dragon King..."

"Do you want to be hunted down by the sea dragons for the rest of your life?"

Feng hope shouted wildly, trying to stop him, but he was restrained by the surging power within him and could not suppress it for a short time.

Mu Yu completely ignored Feng hope at this moment, and instead controlled the golden-haired puppet to step forward and stick his hand into the huge wound slashed by the snake guard puppet's short halberd.

The next moment, the golden-haired puppet dug out the core of a venomous dragon. Inside the core was a miniature venomous dragon's soul, hiding within.

The venomous dragon's soul was clearly still in shock, but when it discovered that the demon core had been removed, it immediately tried to draw upon the power within it.

Unfortunately, after the golden-haired puppet removed the demon core, the power of the demon core was no longer related to the poisonous dragon.

But soon, the dragon soul thought of another way and immediately transformed into a stream of light and flew towards Mu Yu.

Clearly, this venomous dragon is a ruthless person, actually trying to kill Mu Yu by possessing his soul.

Normally speaking, the act of a demon beast possessing a human cultivator carries significant risks, and the probability of success is extremely low.

But if it succeeds, at least the Poisonous Dragon will survive.

If we use some methods at that time, it's not impossible to get it back into my body.

Unfortunately, Mu Yu already possesses the divine sense of the Nascent Soul stage, while the Poisonous Flood Dragon's soul clearly does not possess the Nascent Soul teleportation ability of human cultivators.

The next moment, Mu Yu released a lazy little monkey.

With a beam of yellow light shooting out from the Nose of the Soul-Crying Beast, the Poisonous Flood Dragon's soul was frozen in place, slowly moving towards the location of the Soul-Crying Beast.

"You can't eat this."

Mu Yu took out a Soul-Locking Bowl magic weapon and put the dragon's soul into it.

"Alright, I'll take you out for a big meal in a while. I still have a use for this thing."

After offering a casual word of comfort, Mu Yu continued to order the two snake guard puppets to attack the turtle demon.

Although the turtle demon had only just broken through to the Transformation stage, it possessed the talent of an indestructible body.

In such a short time, the wounds inflicted by the snake guard puppet had almost completely healed.

Therefore, Mu Yu had no choice but to continue attacking.

Just as Mu Yu was about to do the same thing and dig out the turtle demon's inner core, Feng hope finally recovered.

The thick, sharp claws attacked directly in the direction of Mu Yu, but were blocked by the golden-haired puppet without causing any damage.

"How is that possible..."

Feng hope was still surprised by the strength of the golden-haired puppet when it punched him away.

Under normal circumstances, Feng hope, with the body of a level nine demon beast, would not be so powerless, but now that Feng hope cannot even cast a spell, he poses no threat at all.

After defeating Feng hope, the golden-haired puppet once again reached into the turtle demon's body, but this time it encountered a little trouble.

The turtle demon's inner core was running rampant throughout its body, and the turtle demon's self-healing ability also caused the golden-haired puppet some minor trouble.

But that was all. In just over ten breaths, the golden-haired puppet extracted the turtle demon's inner core, and Mu Yu also put its soul into a brand-new soul-locking bowl.

Feng hope, taking advantage of the dozen or so breaths, briefly suppressed the turmoil within his body and barely recovered some of his strength.

"Damn humans, I will surely..."

Feng hope's furious voice and aura made it seem as if he was ready to fight to the death, but after gaining the power to act, he did indeed immediately head towards the Wind and Thunder Wings, which were only halfway through their refining process.

At this moment, Feng hope, who was blocked again, was extremely annoyed that he hadn't searched Han Li's storage bag back then.

Perhaps, in Feng hope's eyes at that time, there couldn't possibly be any treasures in Han Li's storage bag that would be of interest to him.

Without time to think too much, Feng hope continued to run wildly.

But every desperate attempt to escape was easily thwarted by Mu Yu.

As time went by, the suppressed medicinal power within his body began to surge again. If he didn't find a way to escape soon, Feng hope would be the third transformed-stage demon beast to die at Mu Yu's hands.

"Damn humans, don't push your luck. If you push me too far, I'll self-destruct my inner core, and you will definitely not survive."

At this moment, it seems that Feng hope only has one path left to take: self-destruction of his inner core.

"It's okay, go ahead and explode!"

"It just so happens that I've never seen a monster self-destruct its inner core before."

Mu Yu smiled coldly, completely ignoring Feng hope's threat.

If it still had the chance to use its magic to self-destruct its inner core, that turtle demon would have done so long ago.

After all, he had watched the venomous dragon die right before his eyes and knew perfectly well that he would be next.

Feng hope never expected that Mu Yu would see through his threat, and a deep-seated fear of the human race arose in his heart.

Back when he was still an eighth-level demon beast, he had witnessed the depth of human cultivators' scheming.

Back then, those human cultivators were willing to spend hundreds of years waiting for the Rainbow Grass to mature, precisely so they could harvest demons below the Transformation stage.

And now, he had actually brought a human into his life and even personally taken the poison that the human had prepared in advance.

As a wave of regret washed over him, Feng hope disregarded the rebellious power within him and forcefully used the Berserk Technique, consuming a large amount of his essence and blood.

In an instant, Feng hope's body was riddled with holes, but in a very short time, he recovered his original combat power as a level nine demon beast.

"Even if I kill you all this time, I'll be useless in this body, but you forced me into this situation!"

After regaining his fighting strength, Feng hope immediately fought the three Nascent Soul stage puppets to a standstill. The snake guard puppet, in particular, was damaged in a very short time.

Seeing this, Mu Yu considered it for a moment and realized that it would indeed be difficult to kill Feng hope at this moment with a Nascent Soul stage puppet.

So, Mu Yu took out a sword formation diagram that he had prepared for a long time from his storage bag and threw it on the ground.
