The flying shuttle was still the same one.
Long Yunkong was driving, and the other four seats were just enough to accommodate Chu Mu and the other three.
The sinners' caves were basically underground, and the entrances were very well hidden and hard to find. Every sinner's cave was both a forbidden place and an opportunity for cultivators.
One must know that there were many treasures in the sinners' caverns.
Simply put, most of the spiritual medicines and treasures in the Land of Exile grew in sinner caves. There were relatively few of them in the outside world, and they weren't that precious.
Since this was discovered, many cultivators had been working hard to find new sinner caves, because once they found new sinner caves, they would have more cultivation resources and more wealth.
Cultivators had nothing to do with poverty. Without enough cultivation resources, no matter how talented they were, they couldn't keep improving quickly. Therefore, it was every cultivator's instinct to chase after resources and wealth.
Of course, the wealth of cultivators wasn't real money like ordinary people, but all kinds of treasures.
Those Sinner caves that had already been developed, although they would still grow spirit herbs and other things, they had all been taken over. In other words, they had been labeled as a faction. No matter which faction they belonged to, other factions or lone wolves were not qualified to enter. Otherwise, they would be treated as enemies and killed.
So far, the mayor mansions of the five cities basically had two or three sinner caves. Powerful forces like the Three Saint Sects basically had one or two sinner caves, and weaker forces had one sinner cave.
Among the dozens of camps, only the top few had sinner caves.
Of course, some sinner caves were open to the public, and anyone could enter. However, because of this, the resources inside had been plundered again and again, and they were worthless.
Moreover, not every sinner cave was the same. They were divided according to the number of floors. The more floors a sinner cave had, the more precious and valuable it was.
He did not know what the environment in the Land of Exiles was like. The closer the spiritual herbs grew on the surface, the lower the energy they contained. On the other hand, the deeper the spiritual herbs were underground, the higher the energy they contained and the higher their value.
"According to my observation and judgment, there should be two floors in that cave," Long Yunkong said as he focused on driving the shuttle.
"Two levels, that's not bad," everyone said.
Most of the Sinner caves only had one floor, which was the lowest level of Sinner caves. This kind of cave had the lowest level of danger. The most powerful Sinner was, at most, a Bronze Sinner equivalent to a six-star Saint. Similarly, the danger was proportional to the wealth. The value of such a cave was also the lowest. However, to a small faction, the wealth of a cave on this level was already very, very great.
The second floor of the cave was naturally much richer than the first floor, but it was also much more dangerous. There would be at least one Silver-ranked sinner.
For example, the caves controlled by the major forces were mostly second level caves. As for the higher level third level caves, only the City Lord's Mansions of the five major cities each controlled one.
The riches and dangers of the third floor were naturally much greater than those of the second floor. There were not just a few powerful Silver-level Sinners. There were at least dozens of them, or even hundreds of them.
The speed of the flying shuttle was extremely fast. It quickly left Bloodbath City and headed further away from the Land of Exile.
The Land of Exile was equivalent to a half-world. In other words, the Land of Exile was actually a world that was still growing.
The Sinner caves that were closer to the cultivators' gathering places had basically been swept and developed. The Sinner caves that had not yet been discovered were further away.
According to Long Yunkong, it would take about two months to reach their destination from Bloodbath City.
Among the five of them, Yue Zhen was relatively calm and did not speak much. Xu Qingya was aloof and did not speak much. Chu Mu had always been someone who would not take the initiative to speak if there was nothing important. Long Yunkong needed to be highly focused to pilot the flying shuttle, so it was not convenient for him to speak much. Mu Gaoli was relatively more talkative, but that was only relative.
"I say, what kind of treasure did you use to have the strength to kill a seven-star Saint?" Mu Gaoli stared at Chu Mu and asked casually.
There had been some debate about whether Chu Mu had used the power of a treasure to kill a seven-star Saint as a four-star Saint.
Most people believed that Chu Mu had used the power of a treasure, while a small number believed that he had relied on his own strength.
But in the end, no one could convince anyone. Mu Gaoli had heard some of the arguments before, so he was a little curious.
When Mu Gaoli asked this question, Yue Zhen and Xu Qingya also paid some attention. They were also very curious.
Of course, if Chu Mu had really relied on the power of a treasure, it was inevitable that some people would have other thoughts.
"Strength." Chu Mu gave a simple and direct answer.
"Hehe." Mu Gaoli laughed dryly, but from his expression, it was clear that he did not believe it.
A four-star low-level Martial Saint killed two seven-star mid-level Martial Saints with his own strength?
If they did not see it with their own eyes, no one would believe it. Even if they saw it with their own eyes, they would still have a skeptical attitude.
After that, Mu Gaoli did not say anything else, but his gloomy eyes swept over Chu Mu from time to time, as if he wanted to see through Chu Mu.
Most cultivators, if they were looked at like this, would definitely feel awkward and uncomfortable. Most likely, they wouldn't be able to feel at ease. However, Chu Mu didn't seem to notice at all. He allowed Mu Gaoli to look at him without any change in his expression. His eyes were closed, and he was immersed in his own world, silently comprehending.
Did Chu Mu really not notice anything?
No, he could feel it clearly. Mu Gaoli's gaze would occasionally stop on him with probing intent, as if he wanted to see through all of his secrets. However, Chu Mu knew even more clearly that Mu Gaoli didn't get anything out of him.
With Chu Mu's willpower, a mere gaze would not make him feel uncomfortable in the slightest.
Shortly after, Chu Mu felt a surge of Spiritual Energy spread out, covering his body. It actually wanted to penetrate his body and explore.
If it was just a gaze, Chu Mu could ignore it. However, Spiritual Energy was not allowed to explore his body.
Using Spiritual Energy to probe someone without permission was a form of invasion, a form of provocation. It was like taking off all your clothes and standing in front of someone to be wantonly sized up. It was even worse than that, because Spiritual Energy would seep into one's body and explore everything inside.
Every genius cultivator had their own secrets. Since it was a secret, it meant that they were unwilling to let others know about it.
Not to mention, even if they did not have any secrets, who would be willing to let Spiritual Energy penetrate their body?
In an instant, Chu Mu made a counterattack.
Under the control of his will, Spiritual Energy condensed into a sword and fiercely slashed out.
Chu Mu's Yuan Spirit was at the mid fourth level. As a seven-star Saint, Mu Gaoli's Yuan Spirit had also reached the fourth level. Like Chu Mu, it was also at the mid fourth level. However, because Chu Mu's soul was stronger, Chu Mu's Yuan Spirit would be stronger. Naturally, Chu Mu's Spiritual Energy would also be stronger.
Even though Mu Gaoli was prepared, he did not expect that Chu Mu, a four-star Saint, would have a stronger Spiritual Energy than him. In addition, his body was Chu Mu's and he had the home ground advantage. Under the slash of Chu Mu's Spiritual Energy, Mu Gaoli felt his Spiritual Energy being directly cut apart. His spiritual world trembled and his Spiritual Energy surged. His expression suddenly changed.
Although he did not suffer any injuries, the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy in his spiritual world needed some time to calm down. If a battle were to break out, he would only be able to display seventy percent of his strength in this short period of time.
Not only did his probing fail, but he had also suffered a loss. Mu Gaoli did not flare up. Instead, he did his best to calm the fluctuations of his Spiritual Energy. After calming down, he looked deeply at Chu Mu with an indescribable expression.
After that, Mu Gaoli still used his gaze to size up Chu Mu, but he did not use his Spiritual Energy. In his heart, there was already some fear.
Everything was peaceful. In the middle, they experienced a period of torrential rain.
In the land of exile, there were several types of weather changes.
Blazing Sun Period, Grey Snow Period, Dark Night Period, Torrential Rain Period, Freezing Period, and Warm Wind Period.
During the Blazing Sun Period, the sun hung high in the sky and the temperature was the highest. The Sinners basically did not appear. All of them hid in underground caves and slept. Therefore, during the Blazing Sun Period, the only danger to the outside world would come from other cultivators.
The Dark Night Period was the Sinners' favorite period. It was also the period when they were the most active. During the Dark Night Period, the Sinners' strength would even increase slightly.
During the Grey Snow Period and Torrential Rain Period, the Sinners would also appear. However, there were not as many of them as during the Dark Night Period.
During the Frozen Period, the outside world would be freezing cold, and the temperature would be much lower than during the Gray Snow Period. One would have to take sufficient precautions against the cold, or else they might freeze to death. However, it would be warmer inside a camp or city. During the Frozen Period, even Iron ranked Sinners would be frozen into ice sculptures. Even Bronze ranked Sinners would be greatly affected. Only Silver ranked Sinners could move freely during the Frozen Period.
Of the six periods, the Warm Wind Period was the most comfortable period. The warm wind was gentle.
However, during the Warm Wind Period, Sinners could also appear in the outside world. According to research, the Warm Wind Period was also the period when Sinners were born the fastest. It was even faster than the Dark Night Period.
Currently, during the Torrential Rain Period, Long Yunkong's vision was greatly affected. Fortunately, the influence of his Spiritual Energy was not great. It was not as obvious as during the Grey Snow Period. However, the speed of the shuttle was still reduced. This was to better deal with the dangers that might appear. After all, during the Torrential Rain Period, many Sinners would be active in the outside world.
