Within the secret vault, it was silent.
Hermit King kept his smile and looked at Chu Mu who was deep in thought. He was not impatient because he knew that such a choice was very important.
Chu Mu was the master of a sect. Therefore, he should consider more when making a choice. After all, the treasures brought out could not only be used by him, but also by the sect.
After fifteen minutes, Chu Mu still had not come to a decision. The treasures that he was interested in were far more than three. This was also the first time in his life that he had to make such a difficult choice.
Chu Mu raised his head and saw Hermit King not far away. Suddenly, a thought struck him.
"Hermit King, do you have any suggestions?" Chu Mu asked.
"I don't have any good suggestions," Hermit King said. He did not take the initiative to give suggestions, but it was different when Chu Mu took the initiative to ask. "If it's difficult to choose, then choose what you need the most. In addition, there is another way to obtain more treasures."
"What is it?" Chu Mu asked immediately.
"Exchange." Hermit King said, "Marquis can obtain three treasures for free. If you want more treasures, then exchange with equivalent value."
"Exchange with equivalent value..." Chu Mu felt as though a door had been opened in his mind. He did not feel strange or conflicted about the exchange of equivalent value. After all, it was already good to be able to obtain three treasures for free. As for reaping without sowing, everyone naturally hoped that the more, the better. However, that was impossible.
To reap, there must be a price to pay. This was an unchanging principle in the world.
For a master of a sect like Chu Mu, he clearly understood this point. Otherwise, how could a sect survive and become strong? Just nurturing disciples was enough to exhaust all the resources. In the end, the entire sect could not sustain itself and would be disbanded.
There was no conflict. Chu Mu was thinking about what to exchange for.
Sword Universe?
Obviously, it was very valuable. Chu Mu also believed that once Sword Universe was out, it could definitely be exchanged for more treasures. However, he would not exchange it because it was the inheritance of the True God Sword Sect. It was where his roots were. Even if he could not obtain a single treasure, Chu Mu would not exchange it.
As for those top-notch sword moves, it was more or less the same.
Then, what about the Demon Subduing Vambrace, the Mask of Black Gold, and the Heavenly Puppet?
The idea was immediately rejected by Chu Mu.
Each of the three treasures was more precious than the last. The Demon Fighter Vambrace could greatly increase his strength. It would be a waste to use it in exchange.
"If that's the case, I'll use the Rainbow Ring to exchange for it." Chu Mu made his decision.
The Rainbow Ring was a level-7 Yuan Spirit defense secret technique. It was impossible to find such a secret technique in the entire Canglan Empire. Even in the entire Deep Blue World, there were no more than ten level-7 Yuan Spirit defense secret techniques.
If Chu Mu was willing to auction this Rainbow Ring, he would definitely reap great benefits. He could even gather all the Essence of Heaven and Earth needed for the second level of the Sword God's Descent secret method. He could also obtain other things.
For each level of a Yuan Spirit secret technique, there was a huge difference in value.
If he auctioned it, he could indeed reap great benefits. However, it was accompanied by great risks. There would definitely be many people eyeing it. By then, not only would he be in trouble, but so would the True Sword Sect. Such trouble wasn't something the Canglan Empire or the Heaven Sword Saint Venerable could handle.
"However, I'll only use the first six rings." Chu Mu made his decision again.
The Rainbow Ring was level-7, while the sixth ring was level-6. It was one level higher than level-5, but its value was much higher.
Thinking of this, Chu Mu lifted his head and looked at the Hermit King again.
"Your Excellency Hermit King, if you want to exchange, how should we do it?" Chu Mu asked.
"What do you want to exchange for it?" Without waiting for the Hermit King to answer, an old voice sounded. It was the old man who guarded the secret treasury.
"A level-6 Yuan Spirit secret technique." Chu Mu said, "A level-6 Yuan Spirit defense secret technique!"
The Hermit King's eyes widened, showing that he was extremely shocked.
He didn't hear wrongly. Chu Mu was talking about a level-6 Yuan Spirit defense secret technique. In the entire royal family's secret treasury, there were only five Yuan Spirit defense secret techniques. Moreover, only one of them had reached level-5.
In theory, level-6 was only one level higher than level-5. However, the difference was like heaven and earth.
Level-5 represented a level-5 Yuan Spirit, while level-6 represented a level-6 Yuan Spirit. The difference of one level was huge.
Under normal circumstances, a cultivator had to have a level-4 Yuan Spirit to become a Seven-star Saint. However, it was very difficult to raise the Yuan Spirit. Most Nine-star Saint experts only had level-5 Yuan Spirits. Only peerless experts could reach level-6. As for level-7, it was the level of a Silver Yuan Spirit, which was the level of a Saint Emperor.
In other words, level-6 Yuan Spirit secret techniques were at the level of peerless experts to a certain extent, while level-7 Yuan Spirit secret techniques were at the level of a Saint Emperor.
Of course, some Yuan Spirit cultivators with powerful souls might possess level-6 Yuan Spirits when they were at the Nine-star Saint level.
However, no matter what, the higher the level of a Yuan Spirit secret technique, the higher its value. The difference of one level was immeasurable.
The Hermit King wanted to see what Chu Mu would offer in exchange, but he didn't expect it to be a level-6 Yuan Spirit secret technique. Moreover, it was a very precious Yuan Spirit defense secret technique. He was stunned, and his thoughts seemed to have frozen.
Old Su didn't say anything for a while. Clearly, he was also shocked.
"A level-6 Yuan Spirit defense secret technique is extremely valuable …" Old Su's old voice sounded again, but it was slower. He seemed to be thinking as he spoke. "Other than the three treasures that you obtained for free, you can still choose ten more."
"Ten!" The Hermit King had just woken up, but he was stunned again.
Ten treasures! The treasures in the royal family's secret treasury weren't ordinary treasures. Every treasure that was taken out would cause a huge commotion. They were extraordinarily valuable.
Including the three treasures that he obtained for free, Chu Mu could obtain a total of thirteen treasures.
Of course, among the treasures in the royal family's secret treasury, some treasures were more valuable than others. For example, the Yuan Spirit secret technique. A level-2 Yuan Spirit defense secret technique naturally couldn't be compared to a level-5 Yuan Spirit defense secret technique.
If there was a more detailed division, it would undoubtedly be very troublesome and difficult to do.
After all, as long as one wasn't a fool, one wouldn't give up on a level-5 Yuan Spirit defense secret technique for a level-2 one.
In addition, one naturally had to choose the most suitable treasure. The most suitable treasure wasn't necessarily the most valuable treasure. However, no matter how valuable a treasure was, if it wasn't suitable, it would be in vain.
Because of this, Old Su had defined the exchange amount of ten treasures.
Chu Mu thought about it and agreed.
It was fair to exchange a level-6 Yuan Spirit defense secret technique for ten treasures. Moreover, he could choose freely.
As for the level-7 Yuan Spirit defense secret technique, he could definitely exchange it for more treasures. However, Chu Mu didn't need all the treasures. He only wanted those that were suitable for his sect's development.
The quota of thirteen treasures increased by five times. Chu Mu was relieved. Finally, he didn't have to be in such a difficult position.
However, before the exchange, Chu Mu still had to take out the Yuan Spirit defense secret technique.
A piece of white jade fell from the sky.
"Use your God's Soul power to record the level-6 Yuan Spirit defense secret technique," Old Su said.
After Chu Mu caught the white jade, his God's Soul power seeped into it. It consolidated into a sword and started recording.
The first six rings of the Rainbow Ring started from the first ring until the end of the sixth ring. As for the name, Chu Mu didn't use the Rainbow Ring or the Six Colors Ring. Instead, he changed the name to the Six Colors Ring.
Soon, he was done recording. He tossed it up again and disappeared.
After a while, Old Su's voice was heard again. "The deal is done. You can choose your treasure now."
The Hermit King looked envious.
There were ten treasures.
The quota of thirteen treasures was quite sufficient. Chu Mu had also looked through all the treasures in the secret vault. He already had a conclusion in his heart.
First, there was a level-5 Yuan Spirit cultivation secret technique. He immediately picked it out.
Then, there was a level-5 Yuan Spirit attack secret technique.
The Fire Spirit Essence, Wind Spirit Essence, and Dark Spirit Essence were all selected. In this way, Chu Mu was left with eight treasures.
The Heart Refining Valley was a secret treasure. It couldn't help with cultivation, but it could train one's Spiritual Will and Determination.
There were many temptations and dangers in the path of cultivation. If one couldn't stay true to himself, it was easy to get lost in it. In the end, his cultivation would be gone.
Therefore, not only did cultivators have to improve their cultivation and strength, but they also had to focus on training their determination. This was indirectly beneficial to becoming a Saint-level expert in the future. It could even be of some help to the cultivation of the Yuan Spirit, although it wasn't obvious.
The Wild War Hall was a secret treasure like the Yuan Gathering Tower. However, the Yuan Gathering Tower was used to cultivate Yuan Qi, while the Wild War Hall was used to cultivate one's physique.
The True Sword Sect was a sword cultivation sect. It could cultivate Yuan Qi and also cultivate one's physique.
In this way, Chu Mu was left with six treasures.
Compared to the previous three treasures that he racked his brains to choose, his thinking was different now. He was considering what was more suitable.
For example, those Yuan Spirit elixirs or elixirs were also very good. When they reached a certain amount, they could be considered as treasures. However, they were considered as consumables. Once used, they would be gone.
Therefore, Chu Mu wasn't in a hurry to make a choice. He just had a backup plan.
There were a total of seven Spiritual Swords. Six of them were low-grade Spiritual Swords. Only one of them was middle-grade, but it was an ordinary middle-grade Spiritual Sword. However, even a low-grade Spiritual Sword was extremely valuable. Therefore, Chu Mu chose the middle-grade Spiritual Sword, which was called the Blazing Brilliance Spiritual Sword.
After obtaining the Blazing Brilliance Spiritual Sword, Chu Mu only needed to refine it. In the future, he would be able to use two Spiritual Swords to fight. With two Spiritual Swords in hand, he would be even more powerful.
