There were over a thousand people here, and every single one of them emitted an aura that was different from ordinary cultivators.
Sharp, thick, obscure, firm, and so on.
After distinguishing their auras, Chu Mu knew that every single one of these people would be one in a hundred thousand in the outside world. The Genius Garden was indeed worthy of being called the gathering place of geniuses.
Chu Mu's aura was weak, so his arrival didn't attract much attention. These people didn't know that he was the absolute genius who passed the three tests in the shortest amount of time in history. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so indifferent.
Those who set up stalls set up stalls, those who looked at things looked at things, and those who haggled over prices. Everyone was doing their own thing.
It was said that the closer the stalls were to the center, the more precious they were. In fact, a long time ago, there wasn't any distinction between the stalls. But as the saying goes, where there are people, there will be fights, and there will be competition. After a long time, even the stalls were divided into different grades.
There were very few people fighting over the stalls in the outer circle, and there were stalls at all times. The stalls in the inner circle were even more precious. The ten stalls in the center made countless people scramble for them.
However, not everyone had the qualifications to occupy the ten stalls. The law of the jungle was reflected in the difference between the ranks of the geniuses. Of course, if the difference in strength was too great, even Huang class geniuses would dare to look down on absolute geniuses.
For example, if a Huang class genius was already a Saint class expert, and an absolute genius was only in the Nirvana Realm, there was an essential difference between the two. Even a powerful absolute genius could only contend against an ordinary one star Saint class expert at the ninth layer of Nirvana Realm. In this situation, a Huang class Saint class expert wouldn't be afraid of the absolute genius at all. They would only be afraid of the other party's potential. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they wouldn't be willing to start a conflict with the other party. However, if it was a Heaven class Saint class expert, they wouldn't put a Nirvana Realm absolute genius in their eyes.
Chu Mu walked in front of a stall. The stall owner was a black-robed man. He was sitting there motionlessly, and his aura was weak as if he was asleep.
There were a few things in this stall. They might be good outside, but they were a bit ordinary here.
Chu Mu only glanced at it and walked to the next stall.
The owner of the stall was a fat man. When he saw Chu Mu walk over, his eyes lit up and he immediately shouted, "Brother, come take a look. The things I have here were all found in the Ancient Sky Ruins. They are definitely ancient treasures and have extraordinary value."
Chu Mu glanced at the items on the stall and shook his head.
Looking at one stall after another, there were indeed many good things. Unfortunately, they were useless to Chu Mu. They were not what he wanted.
Chu Mu didn't feel dispirited either. The heaven and earth essences of the five elements and eight equivalents were already very precious and hard to come by. Otherwise, why would he rush here to apply for the Genius Garden's examination and wait for the once-in-a-decade genius trade fair to begin?
Even at the genius trade fair, Chu Mu didn't have much confidence that he would be able to obtain the essence of heaven and earth.
There were dozens of treasures needed to cultivate the first layer of that shocking secret technique. Most of them were already prepared. He only lacked three types of essence of the five elements. Metal, Fire, Earth, Water, and Wood. They were the essence of the sea and the origin of the wood.
Chu Mu was looking forward to that shocking secret technique. Once he cultivated the first layer, his strength would increase by ten times and he would become even more terrifying.
The current him could kill an ordinary Two Star Saint if he used his full strength. If his strength increased by ten times, it wouldn't be a problem for him to fight against an ordinary Three Star Saint.
It was already very frightening for an Eighth Heavenly Layer Nirvana Realm to be able to kill a Two Star Saint. It would be unreasonable for him to fight against a Three Star Saint.
He searched one stall after another. After searching through hundreds of stalls, he gained a lot of knowledge. Unfortunately, he still couldn't find the essence of heaven and earth.
While searching, Chu Mu kept going inside.
When he reached a stall in the second circle, he stopped. His gaze was attracted by a piece of soil.
Although it was called a piece of soil, it did look like a piece of solidified soil. It looked very ordinary. If it was thrown on the side of the road, no one would take a second look at it. However, when it appeared in a stall in the second circle, people couldn't help but take a few more glances.
However, there weren't many people who could see the mystery behind it. Chu Mu was one of them.
As he approached the stall, he locked onto the ordinary-looking piece of soil. The power of his Divine Sense spread out and covered the soil. Chu Mu's eyes flashed with joy. However, it was only a flash, but it was noticed by the stall owner.
"Your Excellency, you truly have good eyesight. This is an earth type treasure. Not only is it helpful to the cultivation of earth type techniques, it has a miraculous effect in comprehending the power of earth. It can also increase the power of earth techniques …" This person was clearly very good at observing other people's expressions. Chu Mu's flash of happiness was caught by him, and he immediately began to explain without end. He described this seemingly very normal piece of earth as unparalleled in the heavens and unique on earth, as if he would have missed out on it if he hadn't bought it, and if he missed out on it, he would be in so much regret that he would rather die.
It had to be said that the eloquence of the fatty from before paled in comparison to this person. If not for Chu Mu's firm will, he would have been persuaded and bought this piece of soil with a large amount of Primordial Elixirs.
Unfortunately, Chu Mu's will was very firm and unshakable. Moreover, he had already seen through the truth of this piece of soil. It wasn't as magical as the other party had described it.
"Where did you get this piece of dirt that's been tainted with the aura of the earth essence?" The opponent continued to ramble on and on. When he paused, Chu Mu indifferently asked a question of his own.
Just this one sentence almost made the other party, who was about to launch the next round of verbal storm, choke. After a few coughs, his face turned red and a mocking smile flashed across his face. However, this person's skin was extremely thick. Even if he was seen through by Chu Mu, it was only an extremely brief flash of embarrassment.
"Sir, you have good eyesight. It was me who showed off." The other party said so, but did not answer Chu Mu's question.
Chu Mu looked at the other party indifferently. He also knew that it wasn't so easy to get the other party to tell him the origin of this piece of soil. However, this piece of soil was related to the essence of earth. He was determined to get it.
"What are your conditions? Speak," Chu Mu said. His indifferent tone was filled with unshakable determination.
The other party was stunned. He stared hard at Chu Mu as if he wanted to see through him.
However, how could it be so easy to see through Chu Mu?
"I've never seen you before. You should be a new genius from the Genius Garden, right?" The other party only spoke seriously after a long while.
"Yes." Chu Mu nodded.
"Can you let me see your Genius Medallion?" The other party asked again.
He could tell the other party's genius rank with a single glance from the medallion.
Chu Mu thought about it and did not refuse. A medallion appeared in his hand. It was a dark gold medallion.
"Unique … unique … unique … unique …" The other party was dumbfounded when he saw the dark gold medallion. He stammered and was unable to say anything else. He could only point at the medallion in Chu Mu's hand with a trembling finger.
His voice wasn't loud, but everyone present had sharp ears and eyes, especially the people next to him. They could hear him clearly.
The word 'unique' was very sensitive.
The Exceptional Residence and the Exceptional Genius both had the word 'exceptional' in their names. Thus, the geniuses present naturally reacted the moment they heard the word 'exceptional'.
As expected, some people subconsciously turned their heads to look. Immediately, their eyes widened and their mouths opened wide enough to fit a fist.
"Dark gold … Unique Genius Medallion …" A sharp voice like a pig being slaughtered tore through the silence and caused a commotion.
"Where, where, where?"
"The appearance of the Unique Genius Medallion means that a unique genius has appeared. Where is he? Let me see."
In an instant, the thousand or so geniuses in the market were all in a mess. They all gathered in this direction.
They were all geniuses from the Genius Garden. Their insight was naturally not something that outsiders could compare to. However, there were even more geniuses among geniuses. This feeling was similar to when ordinary people faced geniuses.
Especially since the Genius Garden was a place where geniuses gathered. Only geniuses had the qualifications to enter this place. After entering, the majority of people discovered that there were countless geniuses here. There were geniuses who were stronger than them everywhere. Their previous arrogance was completely shattered here, and they seemed to have become mediocre.
In fact, it was not that they had become mediocre, but because the people around them were all geniuses who were not weaker than them, they had become a group. For example, in the past, they were like cranes in a flock of chickens. Now, they were a group of cranes. Some of them were even immortal cranes, and there were even phoenixes.
Below the monstrous geniuses, unique geniuses were the best.
In the Genius Garden, there was a Unique Residence specially built for unique geniuses.
Since ancient times, the Genius Garden had existed for tens of thousands of years. The number of geniuses that had appeared was innumerable. However, there were only a few thousand unique geniuses. In the overall ratio, there was not even one in ten thousand, or even less.
Every unique genius was like a legend. The Unique Residence was not a place that could be casually entered. Furthermore, the unique geniuses would usually not come to the first floor of the market. They would only appear once every ten years when the market was held.
Thus, when everyone heard about the Unique Genius Medallion, they were all excited. This meant that a unique genius had come here. Normally, it was very difficult to catch a glimpse of a unique genius, let alone come in close contact with one.
In this place, what mattered was the level of a genius, not the level of cultivation. This was because talent was difficult to change, but cultivation could be increased.
The excitement displayed by everyone exceeded Chu Mu's imagination. However, he did not have stage fright. He put away the medallion and looked at the other party with a trace of apology. "If you feel sorry, then come find me at the True Sword Tower in the Unique Residence."
