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

The latest work by the author Fat Cat Who Loves Salty Fish, "Mortal: Even with a Celestial Spiritual Root, I Still Have to Get My Hands on the Little Green Bottle!", is exclusively released for the first time!

Looking at Zi Ling lying on the ground, her true face now revealed, and her appearance pitiful, Mu Yu spoke with great interest:

"Wang Ning, are you sure you want me to run away?"

After breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, Mu Yu finally understood why he had died when he went to see Xiang Zhili.

Even now, he can rely on his powerful divine sense to instantly perceive the subtle expressions on Zi Ling's face and in her eyes.

Such an ability is almost indistinguishable from mind reading.

Clearly, Zi Ling recognized him the moment she saw him, but pretended not to know anything.

As for why, that's pretty obvious.

After all, he was the one who seized the Void Heaven Cauldron from the Void Heaven Palace, and his reputation would surely spread throughout the entire Chaotic Star Sea for a long time.

Yes, that's right. The illusions Mu Yu set up failed to fool any Nascent Soul cultivators; it was all for nothing.

Moreover, when Mu Yu was refining pills in Tianxing City, he was considered an honorary elder of the Miaoyin Sect, so it was perfectly normal for Zi Ling to know of his existence.

"Senior Mu, please forgive me. I have no other choice."

When Zi Ling heard Mu Yu mention the name Wang Ning, she immediately understood everything, promptly admitted her mistake, and made full use of her good looks.

As the most beautiful woman in the Chaotic Star Sea, Zi Ling's true appearance is indeed stunning, and even Mu Yu cannot ignore her beauty.

However, Mu Yu still needs to carefully consider how to make the specific arrangements.

After all, Mu Yu wasn't just driven by lust. Although he likes beautiful women, he would never become obsessed with them.

"Kid... if you're doing business on Holy Demon Island, you'd better get lost!"

Just then, Wen Tianren and his gang of henchmen finally appeared beside Mu Yu.

Clearly, they did not recognize Mu Yu's identity.

Even though Mu Yu has become a celebrity in the Nascent Soul stage cultivator circle, his face is still somewhat unfamiliar to those below the Nascent Soul stage.

After all, those Nascent Soul stage old monsters would at most dare to warn their own sect's descendants, but they would never dare to issue a warrant for Mu Yu's arrest.

If it weren't for the connection with the Miaoyin Sect, Zi Ling might not have recognized Mu Yu.

Mu Yu had a somewhat playful interest in Wen Tianren.

But glancing at the approaching ghostly mist not far away, Mu Yu spoke with a strange expression:

"You guys have really bad luck!"

"Whether you encountered me or this rare ghostly mist containing an aura of absolute spirituality, it is enough to prove your bad luck."

As Mu Yu spoke, the ghostly mist gradually appeared behind him.

"Oh no, it's Ghost Mist!!!"

"Run!"

Clearly, the cultivators of the Chaotic Star Sea knew something about ghost mist, and upon realizing the situation was dire, they immediately began to flee for their lives.

None of Wen Tianren's men waited for him, but when Wen Tianren realized the existence of the ghost mist, he quickly ran to the first position.

If the ghostly mist that erupted this time didn't contain any spiritual energy, they might actually have been able to escape.

However, this eruption of spiritual energy turned all the cultivators into mortals at that moment, and dozens of figures fell headlong from the sky.

If it weren't for the suction force from the ghostly mist, several people would probably have fallen to their deaths.

After this aura of spiritual depletion descended, Mu Yu was unable to mobilize any of his magical power or divine sense, and he felt as powerless as an ordinary mortal.

As for body-refining techniques...

The body-refining technique does have some effect, but the remaining effects are negligible, even less useful than the secular martial arts that Mu Yu practiced in his spare time.

Perhaps it's because Mu Yu's body-refining technique isn't very advanced.

Because she was standing on the ground, Mu Yu was sucked into the ghost mist a little slower, but she still couldn't resist the attraction of the ghost mist.

Of course, Mu Yu didn't intend to resist.

Before being sucked up, Mu Yu grabbed Zi Ling and pulled her into his arms.

Hmm, it feels pretty good.

With a dizzying sensation and hearing a jumble of incoherent sounds, Mu Yu gradually regained her senses.

Immediately afterwards, a feeling of weightlessness came over her, and Mu Yu, who was holding Zi Ling, fell straight down.

Below was complete darkness, and Mu Yu had no idea where she was, but based on the hints from her talent for avoiding danger, she shouldn't be in any real danger.

Sure enough, the next moment the two of them fell together onto a very soft spot, which seemed to be some kind of meat.

The effects of the teleportation belt on Mu Yu only fully manifested at this moment, leaving her with weak limbs and dizziness, an experience she hadn't had in a long time.

On the other side, Zi Ling, who was being held in Mu Yu's arms, was in the same state, and because of her previous injuries, her condition was dozens of times more serious than Mu Yu's.

It took Mu Yu a long while to recover.

"That was a miscalculation. Even if we hadn't brought out the Great Teleportation Token, a few teleportation talismans from Tianxing City would have been better."

Mu Yu had always known that the ability of the talent to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune was not actually all-powerful.

But because he had been planning so meticulously all along, nothing unexpected had ever happened.

Occasionally there may be minor losses, but these are all within Mu Yu's plan.

This is the first time I've experienced dizziness like today, caused by not bringing a teleportation talisman.

If an enemy appears at this time...

No, if an enemy appears, it wouldn't be a sign of good fortune.

If no enemy appears, it's just a bit uncomfortable, but it's not really an ominous sign.

"Senior Mu, where are we now?"

Zi Ling in his arms finally regained some consciousness briefly, but after asking that question, she fell asleep again.

Shaking his head, he was about to get up and leave when a dark lightning bolt appeared in the sky again, and a figure fell down and hit Mu Yu.

"Oh my god..."

Mu Yu did notice it, but with his current mortal body's reaction speed, he simply didn't have time to dodge.

Such a sudden attack almost completely depleted Mu Yu's hard-won strength.

"Weeping Souls, pull us out!"

"This stuff tastes really fishy."

At first, Mu Yu must have landed on a large fish, but with the heavy impact of the figure falling from the sky, the three of them rolled into the pile of fish and shrimp.

Ti Hun, who was standing to the side with curious eyes, immediately stepped forward and pulled the three of them out of the pile of fish and shrimp after hearing Mu Yu's order.

Although it is a spirit beast and cannot access its own spiritual power, its physical attributes and unique supernatural abilities have not disappeared.

Because of the special environment here, the ability of the weeping soul has been subtly enhanced.

"Hey! Don't touch me..."

Clearly, Ti Hun's dragging had frightened the woman who had just fallen.

"Since she likes staying among the fish, then there's no need to pull her away."

Mu Yu stood up, quickly cleaned the sticky substance off his body, and then took out the high-grade spirit stone from his pocket. However, he was disappointed to find that there was no trace of spiritual power left in the high-grade spirit stone.

It's unclear whether the spiritual energy in this high-grade spirit stone was drained by the Qi of Absolute Spirit or by Rahu, but ultimately the result is the same.

"As expected, it didn't work!"

After casually tossing away the high-grade spirit stone, Mu Yu looked around but did not find any native inhabitants of the area.

It's probably because it's too dark.

"I'm...I'm sorry, could you please help me again?"

"My...my spiritual power, all of it...all of it..."

Hearing the woman's voice, which sounded like she was about to cry, Mu Yu calmly explained:

"Not only you, but all cultivators who enter this place will lose their divine sense and magical power, becoming like ordinary mortals."

Upon hearing this, the woman finally fell silent, and instead let out a desperate cry.

"With Senior Mu's Nascent Soul stage level supernatural abilities, could he now be just like a mortal?"

Zi Ling, who had regained consciousness at some point, heard what Mu Yu had just said and asked him a question.

"That's right, I'm just a mortal now. Aren't you disappointed?"

Mu Yu's tone was completely devoid of emotion, yet it miraculously calmed the two women present.

"We're just in the same boat, what's there to be disappointed about?"

"Being sucked into a place like this is much better than being captured by Wen Tianren and becoming his furnace."

Just then, a huge roar came from not far away, making the atmosphere even more sinister.

"Alright, there's no need to worry so much."

"Although you came here by chance, I came of my own volition, so naturally I'm more prepared."

"Tihun, go and deal with those Netherworld Beasts."

At Mu Yu's command, Ti Hun let out an excited cry, then spat out a beam of yellow light from its nostrils, swallowing all the nearby Yinming beasts into its belly.

Mu Yu, on the other hand, picked up the scattered soul crystals one by one.

Having just landed in the beginner village, the spirit beasts here are not very strong, and the spirit crystals are also unusually small.

When Mu Yu returned after collecting the soul crystals, the two women had finally regained their mobility.

"Greetings, Senior Mu. I am Mei Ning, and I was sucked into this place along with my brother."

Sure enough, the woman was Mei Ning.

It's unclear how Mei Ning and her brother were sucked into the ghostly mist this time, without the celestial omen brought by the resurrection technique.

Could it be that Mei Ning's brother wants to explore the Ghost Mist?

Mu Yu made random guesses without any intention of asking further questions.

In fact, it was Mei Ning and her brother who were unlucky; they just went out for a short while and happened to encounter the outbreak of ghost fog.

With their Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, even without the Qi of Absolute Spirit, they simply couldn't escape.

"Alright, now that we've recovered enough, it's time to find a peaceful place to rest."

Upon approaching the village, the presence of the weeping spirit caused a minor disturbance, but after Mu Yu explained the situation, it did not lead to any major conflict.

It's just a spirit beast; although extremely rare in this dark and mysterious place, it's not entirely incomprehensible.

The people here are quite accepting of unfamiliar faces.

After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, Mu Yu and the other two entered the village.

The villages here have a very primitive feel to them, and all the residents have dark skin and are thin and sallow.

Clearly, the living conditions here are not very good; it's probably just enough to barely survive.

Despite the limited food supply, the villagers provided Mu Yu and his companions with some seemingly unpalatable food and a house to stay in temporarily.

Two rooms were originally prepared, but both Mei Ning and Zi Ling chose to stay with Mu Yu without hesitation.

After all, in a place like this, their looks would almost certainly cause trouble.

Faced with Zi Ling and Mei Ning's request to live together, Mu Yu naturally had no reason to refuse.

After entering the house prepared for the three of them in the village, Mu Yu took out a bottle containing a drop of the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk and put it in his mouth.

The "Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk" does indeed have some effect in the Netherworld.

However, the effect was to restore Mu Yu's magical power, but it did not allow him to use his own magical power.

After all, the aura of spiritual deprivation did not eliminate Mu Yu's magic power and divine sense; it only rendered them unusable.

It seems that if one wants to use magic in this dark and gloomy place, the only way is probably to rely on Mei Ning's Jade Phoenix Marrow Body.

However, since Mu Yu had already prepared the necessary items in advance, he had almost no need to use his magic power except to collect the sinking water.

Therefore, it doesn't matter whether the spiritual energy of the Jade Phoenix Marrow is used in this kind of place or not.

"It seems that what I prepared in advance is of no use in this Netherworld."

"Therefore, if we want to leave this place, perhaps we can only rely on mortal methods."

"You two can rest here for a while. I'll go into the village to look for some useful clues. As for Ti Hun... he'll stay here to protect you for now."

Mu Yu gave a few simple instructions, then turned and left without looking back, leaving Zi Ling and Mei Ning alone in the room, staring at each other.

……

As Mu Yu walked through the village, she noticed some prying eyes, some of which even carried a hint of malice.

Ignoring the prying eyes, Mu Yu walked straight to a high platform in the village.

The so-called high platform was made of stone, with some grooves carved on it, making it look particularly rough, much like the sacrificial patterns in some regions of the mortal world.

But in reality, this is a method that can utilize the power of the underworld.

This means that this Rahu is still very young. If it were an adult Rahu, its body would form a small world of its own, and it would likely develop into something similar to a cultivation civilization.

The only difference is that cultivators use spiritual power, while they use the power of the underworld.

This Rahu seems to have quite a lot of potential.

Theoretically, it might even reach a level similar to the Heavenly Dao. I wonder how that Rahu in the Spirit Realm died.

"It seems you're quite interested in this stone talisman, fellow Daoist."

A voice sounded behind Mu Yu, but it did not cause any emotional fluctuation in Mu Yu.

Although he lost his magical power, the transformation brought about by the Nascent Soul stage did not suddenly disappear. With Mu Yu's perception and hearing, he was naturally able to clearly sense someone approaching.

"Stone talisman? I think it's more like a formation, just too crude."

Upon hearing this, the old man's expression immediately turned to surprise and delight.

"Fellow Daoist, I am a child of the Five Dragons Sea."

After a brief introduction, Bao Huanzi immediately asked, "May I ask, fellow Daoist, do you understand the Dao of Formations?"

At this moment, I was incredibly excited to receive my child back.

In such a desperate situation, it is already difficult to survive by relying on some means, but even so, there is always the possibility that the village will be overrun by demonic beasts and Yinming beasts.

If a fellow Daoist skilled in formations could join them, it would be an immense joy for their village.

"Proficient? I wouldn't call myself an expert. I just know a true genius in formations, so I know a bit more about formations."

"And what we call formations are actually quite similar in many ways."

Upon hearing Mu Yu's words, Bao Huanzi immediately became excited.

"I see, that's great."

"With your joining our village, our village will surely be able to..."

Seeing how excited the boy was, even gesturing wildly as he held back his son, Mu Yu found herself somewhat embarrassed to say what she was about to say.

But as the saying goes, a short pain is worse than a long one, so Mu Yu spoke up quite decisively:

"Unfortunately, I have no intention of staying here for long."

"I should be setting off for Storm Mountain in a few days to find a way out."

Upon hearing this, the boy who had been extremely excited gradually became gloomy.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know that it is a dead end?"

"With our bodies now no different from ordinary mortals, how can we pass through that eerie wind, how can we evade that powerful Netherworld beast?"

"To be honest, I was also resentful when I first stumbled into this place, but in the end, several of my closest friends lost their lives at the foot of Storm Mountain."

"We couldn't even get to the middle of the mountain."

Despite the earnest advice of the child who was being returned to his home, Mu Yu's resolve remained unshaken. In fact, while listening to the child's persuasion, he also recorded all the runes carved on the stone platform.

"Alright, if you have some free time, fellow Daoist, how about finding me a few similar stones?"

Mu Yu pointed to the disc on the high platform and then spoke to Bao Huanzi.

Although I didn't mind the incessant chatter of the child being returned, it did become quite noisy after a while.

Bao Huanzi left somewhat dejectedly to find stones for Mu Yu.

After dismissing Bao Huanzi, Mu Yu followed the directions he was given and searched the village for the stone carvings left behind by the cultivators.

The location where the stone carving was placed had no protective measures and was in a relatively remote location in the village.

Clearly, cultivators do not hold a very high status in this village.

After examining each of the stone carvings, Mu Yu successfully found the one with the translated demon script.

I wonder what use that unlucky guy who knows the demon language has for writing down this knowledge.

Could it be that there are still some remnants of the demon race here?

"Boy, so you're the cultivator who came to the village today?"

"Your weapon looks pretty good, lend it to me..."
