In the Qingfeng Sword Sect of Qinglan Mountain, from the chief to the outer sect disciples, everyone was beaming with joy. The only thing missing was decorations, drums, dragons, lions, and firecrackers.
In contrast to the Qingfeng Sword Sect, the Qingshui Sword Sect and the Qinglan Sword Sect appeared to be much quieter. The Qingshui Sword Sect was still alright, as no one had won a place in the top 100 for many years. The Qinglan Sword Sect had greater hopes, but this time, Wei Hong had died in the Qinglan Virtual Realm, and Song Guangtao and the others had also died in the battle for the top 100.
What made the elders of the Qinglan Sword Sect, especially Elder Yaori, vomit blood was that Chu Mu did not die. Not only did he not die, but he also won a place in the top 100 and could enter the Great Kun Sword Mansion for further study.
After knowing this, the elders of the Qinglan Sword Sect finally felt afraid. With Chu Mu's talent, once he entered the Great Kun Sword Mansion for further study, his strength would definitely improve by leaps and bounds. It was very likely that he would challenge the Qinglan Sword Sect within ten years.
Therefore, the Qinglan Sword Sect gathered all the elders to discuss countermeasures.
…
In the room, Luo Tianxiong asked with a look of surprise, "Feng 'er, you're saying that this time you can get a place in the top 100 because Chu Mu gave you a place?"
"Yes, father. If it wasn't for Brother Chu, I'm afraid this time I won't even be able to get a short sword." Luo Yufeng said without any exaggeration.
"This Chu Mu is really extraordinary." Luo Tianxiong stood up and slowly paced. "Feng 'er, although I didn't enter the Great Kun Sword Mansion for further study, I know that there are many geniuses in the Great Kun Sword Mansion. Although your talent is good, it won't be easy to gain a foothold in the Great Kun Sword Mansion. However, Chu Mu is your hope. If you treat him with sincerity, I believe that you can go further. When the time comes, the sect will still rely on you to carry forward. "
"Father, rest assured. Although my relationship with junior brother Chu is not that of a brother, it is not inferior to one." Luo Yufeng said. He never had any utilitarian mentality towards Chu Mu, nor did he want to take advantage of Chu Mu. It was precisely because of this that Chu Mu was willing to become friends with Luo Yufeng, and not just with the relationship of a fellow disciple.
"Yes." Luo Tianxiong nodded and sat down again. He said anxiously: "Why hasn't Chu Mu returned to the Sword Sect yet? Let's wait for him to come back before we start the celebration."
"Father, Junior Brother Chu returned to the Chu Family first. I don't think he will be able to return to the Sword Sect so quickly." Luo Yufeng said.
…
After Chu Mu and Luo Yufeng left the Li Province Sword Academy, they quickly traveled. Along the way, they encountered some robberies from Loose Swordsmen, but with the strength of Chu Mu and Luo Yufeng, the Loose Swordsmen who robbed them naturally didn't have a good ending.
Luo Yufeng returned to the Sword Sect first, while Chu Mu returned to the Chu Family first. This was because he had brought many things with him that he planned to give to his family to strengthen his family.
Among them, there were more than a dozen fake swords. They were packed into a large bundle and wrapped in a thick oilcloth. In addition, there were a few Sword Qi Arts and high-level sword techniques. Chu Mu had also given Chu Xingyun a Qi Increasing Pill to increase his sword Qi cultivation.
Chu Xingyun and his wife were so excited that they couldn't even speak. The son that they had worried about the most in the past had now become their glory. What could make them feel more excited and happy than this?
As for the Sword Qi Arts and sword techniques rewarded by the Sword Academy, there were rules that stated that they could not be taken away, nor could they be copied. They could only be cultivated by the disciples of the Sword Sect.
Chu Xingyun and the others felt like they had been smashed in the head by Chu Mu being able to obtain a spot in the top hundred and enter the Great Kun Sword Manor to cultivate. They were dazed and unable to react.
Afterwards, Chu Dangxiong immediately issued a gag order. They could not reveal that Chu Mu had obtained a spot in the Great Kun Sword Manor. Although this would make the Chu Family famous and strengthen their reputation, their true strength would not be able to keep up. It could lead to unnecessary trouble.
It had to be said that Chu Dangxiong was very wise. He deeply understood the essence of making a fortune in silence.
The things that Chu Mu had brought back were indescribably valuable to the Chu Family. Even if the Chu Family used up all their wealth, they would not be able to purchase them. As a result, Chu Dangxiong and the others estimated that with these things, the Chu Family's overall strength would definitely increase by a lot. With some time, it would not be impossible for them to increase their strength by two or three times.
Chu Xingkong and the others also asked Chu Mu about Chu He and the others. When they learned that Chu He had also obtained a spot in the Great Kun Sword Manor, they were overjoyed. Chu Mu also told them about Chu Tian and Chu Hong. Chu Xingfeng felt both happy and ashamed. He even expressed his apologies to Chu Mu. His various grudges gradually disappeared, making Chu Dangxiong feel much more relieved.
Chu He did not return to the Chu Family, nor did he send anything back. However, this had nothing to do with Chu Mu.
When Chu Mu talked with Chu Dangxiong alone, he suddenly thought of the painting of wind that he had comprehended before. Intuition told Chu Mu that the painting of wind was not ordinary. As a result, he requested Chu Dangxiong to look at it again.
Whether it was Chu Mu's contributions to the Chu Family or his own talent, Chu Dangxiong had no reason to refuse. He opened the secret room again and let Chu Mu enter.
Standing in front of the table in the secret room, Chu Mu stretched out his hand and opened the painting. A painting once again appeared in front of his eyes.
However, this time, Chu Mu did not enter a state of enlightenment like last time. Everything was ordinary and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Chu Mu squinted his eyes and his pupils contracted. He carefully stared at every part of the painting, especially the sword that the person in the painting used.
His heart unconsciously moved as forty percent of the concept of wind merged into his body. Suddenly, Chu Mu seemed to hear the sound of a cool breeze. He vaguely saw a wisp of azure appear from nothingness and blow over.
As for the person in the painting, it was as if he had come to life. He slashed out with his sword. Immediately, a cool breeze blew over. The wind roared endlessly as it blew through the heavens and earth.
Chu Mu once again felt as if he was in a sea of wind. He even felt as if his entire body was going to turn into a gust of wind and be blown away.
After being immersed in this feeling for fifteen minutes, there was a sudden tremor. The scenery in front of him quickly disappeared and the wind also quickly disappeared. Chu Mu only felt his eyes blur. The painting was still the painting; it did not change.
There was a deep light circulating in his eyes. A wisp of azure flowed through his eyes. Chu Mu only felt that his forty percent of the concept of wind seemed to have consolidated a little. His comprehension had become slightly deeper.
However, this was not the main point. The main point was that Chu Mu had obtained some simple information from the painting.
"It seems like there are seven other paintings similar to the painting of the wind …" Chu Mu muttered to himself with his head lowered. He was not very sure because the information he obtained from the painting of the wind was not very clear. It was only intermittent and was only a general idea.
"No matter what, the value of the painting of the wind is definitely beyond imagination. There must be other secrets contained within it." Chu Mu thought to himself. He stared at the painting of the wind and pondered. In the end, he decided to ask Chu Dangxiong for the painting of the wind.
However, after Chu Dangxiong made this request, Chu Dangxiong was also in a difficult position. This was because the painting of the wind was the heirloom of the Chu Clan. It had always been placed within the Chu Clan. As long as there was an outstanding disciple, they could comprehend it once.
If it was taken away by Chu Mu, then he would lose the opportunity for an outstanding disciple to comprehend it in the future.
Although he did not agree, Chu Dangxiong promised that if in the future Chu Mu had a need for the painting of the wind, he could come back and get it.
Chu Mu thought about it. Although he felt that the painting of the wind was not ordinary and contained a huge secret, it seemed that he was unable to comprehend it at all. With the intermittent information he obtained, it was difficult for him to see anything. He agreed with Chu Dangxiong's opinion.
After bidding farewell to his parents, Chu Mu left the Chu Clan and hurried to the Azure Edge Sword Sect. This time, he did not know when he would be able to return. (To be continued.)
