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

"Brother Mu... are you saying you broke through your current realm after only one night of cultivation?"

Seeing Mu Yu's stable aura, Han Li was very suspicious that the other party had concealed his cultivation level from him yesterday.

After all, how could it be possible in just one night...?

At this moment, Han Li had not seen many cultivators, so he was naturally not very clear about the importance of spiritual root talent.

"Yes, my talent is slightly better than yours, so it's normal that I cultivate faster."

Mu Yu did not explain in detail at this moment, because these things were not important.

Han Li will gradually learn more about spiritual roots in the future.

A little better?

Upon hearing this, Han Li couldn't help but recall the hardships he had endured in his cultivation, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

If it weren't for the existence of the little green bottle, given his talent, he doesn't know how much longer he would have had to cultivate.

But even with the little green bottle and the pills, his cultivation process would never have been so smooth.

With a sigh inwardly, Han Li said, "I wonder if Brother Mu has any other important matters to attend to? If not, I'm preparing to leave."

"If Brother Mu hadn't shown up yesterday, I would have set off today."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu replied, "Of course, Han Li, just continue as usual."

……

More than an hour later, Han Li packed his bags, secretly left some pills for Li Feiyu, and then left the Valley of Divine Healers with Qu Hun.

Before long, Han Li found a rather large four-wheeled carriage, intending to use it for his journey.

Seeing this, Mu Yu sighed but didn't say anything more.

And so, the group traveled at an extremely slow pace, taking a full five days to finally return to Han Li's hometown.

Finally seeing his long-lost hometown, Han Li's feelings were extremely complicated.

Han Li told the driver to stop outside the village and left alone, walking quickly towards the village entrance. The closer he got to the village, the faster his heart pounded.

Mu Yu's prophecy and the image of my younger sister flooded my mind all at once.

Before long, Han Li heard the joyful sounds of musical instruments.

Could it be that today is the day my younger sister gets married?

……

Mu Yu waited at the village entrance for about half an hour before seeing Han Li walk over in a daze and return to the carriage without saying a word.

At this moment, the taciturn driver was somewhat bewildered, unsure whether to continue waiting or ask his master.

"Han Li, you should know the difference in lifespan between cultivators and mortals."

"This might be the last time you see them. Don't you really want to see them one last time?"

Although Mu Yu already knew about Han Li's choice, she still couldn't help but remind him.

Sometimes, even the right choice can bring a lot of regrets.

"Let's go..."

Han Li did not answer, but simply gave an instruction to the coachman.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu didn't say anything more. He simply sat cross-legged on the futon in the carriage and began to practice the Changchun Gong.

For some pseudo-spiritual root cultivators, there are many things to pay attention to when cultivating. The most important thing is, of course, a quiet environment where they cannot be disturbed.

However, for someone with a celestial spiritual root like Mu Yu, the cultivation process is much simpler. Although it cannot compare to quiet, arduous cultivation, it is not a waste of time.

Thus, under Han Li's envious gaze, Mu Yu successfully broke through to the seventh level of the Qi Refining stage.

After breaking through, Mu Yu took out a Golden Marrow Pill from the medicine bottle in his bosom and swallowed it.

As the pill was ingested, its potent medicinal power spread rapidly, and Mu Yu's cultivation level quickly increased, giving him the feeling that he was about to break through to the next level.

But at this moment, Mu Yu slowed down the pace of his cultivation and began to hone his magical power.

In fact, the magical power of the Heavenly Spiritual Root is extremely pure and does not need to be refined at all.

However, Mu Yu was somewhat worried that his cultivation level was rising too quickly, so he chose to slow down his cultivation progress.

Even for someone with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, advancing to a higher realm in just two or three days is a frighteningly fast pace.

If he didn't suppress his cultivation, Mu Yu was even worried that he would break through to the Foundation Establishment stage within one or two months.

Of course, there is another reason for this phenomenon.

That is because Han Li's pills were too potent. Using hundreds of years-old spiritual herbs to prepare pills for the Qi Refining stage was really too extravagant.

……

A few days later, Mu Yu could no longer stand the carriage's snail-paced speed. After reaching a town, Mu Yu pulled Han Li off the carriage and casually dismissed the driver.

Then, under Han Li's slightly puzzled gaze, Mu Yu tossed Han Li a green leaf-shaped flying magic artifact.

"I originally wanted you to see what your younger sister's wedding was like, so I didn't change anything."

"Now, let's experience the travel methods of cultivators..."

After spending some time familiarizing Han Li with the flying artifact, the two flew towards Jiayuan City.

In terms of the flight speed of Qi Refining stage disciples, Han Li and Mu Yu were not flying very fast, but compared to the speed of ordinary people traveling, it was a completely different story.

After arriving in Jiayuan City, Han Li originally wanted to take Mu Yu directly to the Mo residence, but Mu Yu stopped him.

Perhaps because of Mu Yu, Han Li now seems to have developed some contempt for the mortals in the Mo family, and has completely lost his original caution.

Or rather, for a true cultivator, there is really nothing about mortals that can make them wary.

After stopping Han Li, Mu Yu briefly explained the matter of Sun Ergou.

Of course, the soul of the music is even more important.

After all, as long as you throw down a Qu Hun, you can reap a Golden Core stage remnant soul, as well as various beast eggs, magic treasures and other items after a period of time, which is really a worthwhile deal.

At this moment, Han Li was no longer a novice. From Mu Yu's words, he naturally knew quite a bit about the cultivation realm.

Although somewhat worried about his friend's body, Mu Yu assured him that he would entrust Qu Hun to a mortal.

Subduing Sun Ergou was a simple process. Mu Yu ignored these trivial matters. He didn't even follow Han Li into the Mo Mansion. He simply found an inn, set up a simple formation, and began to cultivate.

In this mortal realm, the concentration of spiritual energy is naturally extremely thin.

However, Mu Yu still had a lot of pills, so he didn't need to worry about the concentration of spiritual energy. Instead, he needed to control his cultivation speed and not cultivate too fast.

A few days later, after Han Li had resolved the issues with the Mo family, he unexpectedly asked Mu Yu a question.

"Brother Mu, is it really impossible to cultivate immortality without spiritual roots?"

Upon hearing this familiar question, a look of understanding flashed in Mu Yu's eyes.

It seems it's because of the Ink Ring.

Mu Yu remembered this question very clearly; it was originally supposed to be asked by Mo Caihuan after Han Li met her again.

But now, Han Li has asked this very question.

It seems that some unexpected changes have occurred in the Mo residence these past few days.

"In theory, mortals can also cultivate immortality, but this is only in theory."

"At the very least, mortals in the human realm have no hope of cultivating immortality."

"If it were in the spirit realm, there might be a slight possibility. If it were in the immortal realm, it would be even simpler."

"Spiritual roots can be formed later in life, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the human realm is insufficient to nurture treasures that can give birth to spiritual roots."

"Even in the most ideal situation, there is probably only a tiny, almost imperceptible glimmer of hope after reaching the Nascent Soul stage."

Although it was unclear what Han Li's mindset was when he asked this question, Mu Yu didn't hide anything and answered very frankly.

Having received such an answer, Han Li did not pursue the matter further, as if his question was merely out of curiosity.

"Brother Mu, are we going to Tainan Valley next?"
