The intricate topography and the scattered origin stones were like a maze, entrenched on the ground.
A warm wind blew gently. If the scenery was more beautiful, it would be like the early spring when the grass was long and the orioles were flying. It was very suitable for traveling.
Of course, there was no such thing as traveling in the Land of Exile. However, such a period was also very suitable for traveling.
A group of people quickly walked over from afar. There were as many as eight people in total. Although none of them deliberately exuded auras, the auras they naturally exuded were very powerful. They were all high-level Martial Saints.
That was right. Cultivators who dared to come out and enter the Land of Exile were basically high-level Martial Saints. At the very least, they would have the strength of a beginner seven-star Martial Saint.
"Brother Luo, the entrance is in this area." Among the eight people, a short, fat, dark-skinned middle-aged man whispered. His small eyes were rolling around, and he looked very shrewd.
"Okay, find the entrance." The leader, who was called Brother Luo, was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. Although his appearance was very ordinary, his aura was the most powerful among the eight people. He was obviously an eight-star Martial Saint.
"Brother Luo, everyone, before we find the entrance, I have to emphasize one thing again." The short, fat, middle-aged man smiled and said, "According to the distribution method we discussed before, as the credit for leading the way and finding the entrance, each of you must give me half of your harvest in the end."
"Fat Rat, we have already agreed on this. Are you still worried that we will go back on our words?" A bald man scolded.
"First the villain, then the gentleman. It is always better to confirm it clearly again." Fat Rat smiled.
"Okay, Fat Rat, I promise that everything will be distributed according to the agreement," Luo Zhongxu said.
"Okay, with Brother Luo's promise, I am much more relieved." Fat Rat smiled. He looked very annoying. Then, he turned around and looked for the entrance.
Although the entrance was in this area, it was likely that others would not be able to find it. Even if they could find it, it would take a lot of time.
There was a trace of coldness in the eyes of the others as they stared at Fat Rat's back. Although they had all agreed to the agreement, what would happen in the end would be another matter.
After four hours, Fat Rat found the entrance.
Soon after, a group of people entered in a single file. The first to enter was naturally Luo Zhongxu, who had the highest cultivation.
This entrance was the entrance to a Sinner's cave. At the entrance, there were Sinners in charge of guarding it. Once someone entered, it would immediately attract the attention of the Sinners, causing an alarm to sound and awaken the sleeping Sinners.
In the sinner's cave, the sinners' strength would increase by at least 30%. Moreover, the environment inside the cave would be more suitable for the sinners to move about.
To put it simply, the Sinners had the advantage of time and location in the cave. Their numbers were large and terrifying.
Luo Zhongxu was the strongest. If he entered first, he could kill the Sinners before they could react.
After that, the other seven people also entered one after another.
…
Chu Mu and the other four stood rooted to the ground, their faces filled with astonishment as they stared in front of them.
After they entered the cave, they kept moving forward, trying their best to hide their auras and lifeforce. Their movements were very cautious, so they did not attract the attention of the sleeping sinners.
Along the way, they would discover Black Iron Roots from time to time. Furthermore, they were basically discovered by Chu Mu first. After practicing four or five times, everyone felt depressed.
The value of the Black Iron Root lay in its juice. It had several uses, but the one with the highest purchase price was the City Lord Residence of the City of Silver. This was because the City Lord Residence of the City of Silver had a heritage cultivation technique that required large amounts of Black Iron Root juice.
However, the value of a single Black Iron Root wasn't high, so it had to be sold in large quantities.
Up to now, Chu Mu had obtained more than a thousand Black Iron Roots. If he sold them to the City Lord Residence of the City of Silver, he could obtain a Bronze Heart. In other words, the value of a Black Iron Root was equivalent to ten Black Iron Hearts. This was considered a relatively high value. The prices of other factions were typically seven or eight Black Iron Hearts.
After advancing for about ten thousand meters, there were only two bends in front of them. In front of them was a wall. It was a pitch-black wall that was more than a hundred meters tall. The wall stretched for more than a thousand meters, and there were many small caves on it. In each small cave, there were several sleeping Sinners.
In other words, there were at least five thousand Sinners sleeping on the wall.
Once these Sinners were alarmed and awakened, it would definitely be a huge problem. Although the five of them were not afraid of thousands or even tens of thousands of Black Iron Sinners and could even kill them all, it would take a considerable amount of time. During this time, all the Sinners in the cave would awaken.
There were at least tens of thousands of Sinners in a cave. Even if they were all Black Iron Sinners, it would be very difficult for a nine-star Saint to fight against them.
"The final destination of the two paths should be the same." Long Yunkong transmitted his voice with the power of his soul. This way, they wouldn't attract the Sinners' attention.
No one had any objections. They chose the bends on the right. The bends led downwards, and it was obvious that they were going deeper into the ground.
"Stop. There are Sinners approaching. Hide." Chu Mu transmitted his voice with his soul. He moved his feet, and in a flash, he appeared behind a protruding Black Iron ore. He restrained his aura and hid his body.
"Quick." Long Yunkong didn't doubt him at all. He also said that and hid.
Yue Zhen and the other two didn't believe it at first. Mu Gaoli was about to refute and ridicule them, but when he saw Long Yunkong do it without the slightest doubt, he instantly remembered that Chu Mu had discovered the Black Iron Root before them several times. They couldn't help but do the same and hide.
After hiding for less than three breaths, they heard some voices rapidly approaching them. Then, one figure after another appeared in their line of sight.
It was a patrol team led by two Bronze-level Sinners and eight Black Iron Sinners.
In addition to the guards at the entrance of the Sinners' cave, there was also a patrol team responsible for patrolling the entire cave.
Seeing this small patrol team of Sinners, everyone's heart trembled. A four-star Saint at the beginner level had discovered the Sinners before them. While they were shocked, they were also dissatisfied.
Once, twice, thrice, four times, five times, six times. This four-star Saint's performance had suppressed them all.
As a true genius, it was natural for them to be proud. Being compared like this, and more than once at that, no one could accept it. However, they were also clear about the situation, so they didn't say anything. But Mu Gaoli's heart was the most unsettled. It couldn't be helped. Not long ago, he had told Chu Mu that he was lucky to have taken a big advantage by working with them.
"Do it." Long Yunkong transmitted his voice. Immediately, the five of them attacked together.
Five Sword Light tore through the darkness in an instant.
Agile Sword Light, heavy Sword Light, cold Sword Light, tricky Sword Light, and fierce Sword Light.
Five Sword Light, with different meanings and the same murderous intent. Their power was restrained, and their aura fluctuations were fixed within a small range. They respectively attacked different Sinners.
There were a total of ten Sinners, two Bronze-level and eight Black Iron Sinners.
Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!
Kill! Kill! The Sword Light turned, and the ten Sinners were all stabbed in the heart without making a sound. The entire process was extremely short and completed in an instant.
Out of the ten Sinners, Chu Mu killed two Black Iron Sinners. This was the result of him not intending to fight over them.
After killing the patrol team, the five of them continued forward.
The curve gradually became straight, and the terrain kept going downwards. There were always Sinners sleeping on the walls of the cave on the left and right.
"Wait." Suddenly, Mu Gaoli transmitted his voice. Following that, he leaped five to six meters into the air. Reaching out, he grabbed a plant growing at the entrance of a small cave and pulled it up.
The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, without the slightest sound or aura, showing his exquisite skills.
Of course, under such circumstances, he couldn't display his strength to the extreme.
"Black Light Single Leaf Grass, not bad." Mu Gaoli deliberately waved the plant in his hand in front of Chu Mu. At the same time, he chuckled and transmitted his voice to the other four. His tone was rather smug, and anyone could tell that he was showing off.
That's right. As a genius, his cultivation was far superior to Chu Mu's. Yet, he had been compared to Chu Mu time and time again. He had long been suppressing his anger. And now, he had finally found a spiritual herb earlier than Chu Mu, and its value far exceeded the Black Iron Root. It was inevitable that he would feel smug.
Chu Mu's expression didn't change at all. He had never planned to compete with the other party. The reason why he was able to discover it earlier was only because his vision was wider. Although his vision was wider, there was no guarantee that Chu Mu would be able to see 360 degrees without any blind spots.
The others also felt a sense of joy in their hearts, but it didn't last long.
"The value of a Black Light Single Leaf Grass is about a thousand Black Iron Hearts." Mu Gaoli didn't show off too much. "According to the standard of the Silver City Lord's Residence, these forty Black Iron Roots are yours."
The value of forty Black Iron Roots was equivalent to four hundred Black Iron Hearts.
With Mu Gaoli as a precedent, everyone else also had their own gains. Chu Mu was no longer the only one to reap.
After discovering the spiritual herb treasure earlier than the others, and with Chu Mu having no intention of competing with them, the dissatisfaction in their hearts lessened.
This was an unexplored cave. Other than the common Black Iron Roots, there were also many other spiritual herbs. Although they wouldn't be mass-produced, their value was at least ten times, or even a hundred times, more than the Black Iron Roots.
These spiritual herbs contained astonishing energy. Not only could they be used for refining pills, they could also be used in other areas. They were rather popular. Up until now, the five of them hadn't encountered any danger. Each of them had obtained several Bronze Hearts.
At this moment, Chu Mu's figure flashed, and after a while, a plant appeared in his hand. It was a very beautiful plant. When the other four saw it, their expressions changed drastically.
