When they came, none of them were willing to submit to each other. Therefore, they didn't say who had the highest status among them. However, when they returned, Chu Mu seemed to be the leader. The other four didn't feel any resistance. Instead, they felt that it was natural.
Since ancient times, the strong always had the right to speak, and their words were more persuasive.
However, the real geniuses were very proud.
If Chu Mu's cultivation was higher than theirs, and thus he was more powerful than them, they wouldn't be convinced. After all, as long as their cultivation increased, their strength would naturally increase as well.
However, the reality was that Chu Mu's cultivation was far inferior to theirs, but his strength was greater than theirs. This meant that once Chu Mu's cultivation increased, his strength would increase even further. In the end, they would be left far behind, and could only look at his back.
When Chu Mu killed Luo Zhongxu, who none of them could deal with, with his sword alone, his status suddenly became prominent. His words also became very important.
Therefore, they said, "As Brother Chu says."
Chu Mu thought about it and understood the reason behind it. He also knew what everyone meant. This time, he didn't answer like before. Instead, he began to seriously think about it.
"In my opinion, why don't we report it to the Blood-Slaughtering Hall, the Three Sacred Sects, and the Blood Sword Sect, and let these three forces develop it together?" Chu Mu said.
"Develop it together?" The four immediately thought about it.
Other than reporting it to their own sects and developing it alone, developing it together was also a way. However, the benefits of developing it together would definitely not be as great as developing it alone. However, in the current situation, the idea of developing it alone would most likely not be realized.
"Alright, we'll do as Brother Chu says," Long Yunkong said.
"Let's develop it together." The others also thought it through.
This was the fairest way.
"If we develop it together, we'll report it to our respective sects, and we'll also receive rewards from our sects. However, Brother Chu isn't a member of any sect, nor does he belong to any force. Therefore, Brother Chu won't receive any rewards from the sects. Therefore, I think we should share the rewards with Brother Chu equally," Long Yunkong said.
Everyone thought about it for a moment and agreed.
Chu Mu shook his head and said slowly, "If we split it equally, then theoretically, I would get twice as much as any one of you. It's not fair to all of you. Therefore, each of you can give me thirty percent."
If each of the four of them received a reward of ten, then that would be a total of forty. According to what they had said, if they gave half to Chu Mu, then Chu Mu would get twenty, and each of them would only get five.
According to what Chu Mu said, in the end, Chu Mu would get twelve, and each of them would get seven. This was a more fair distribution. Although Chu Mu would still get more than any of them, in addition to the physical rewards, they would also get some intangible things, such as the reputation of their sect, and so on.
"It's decided. There's no need to say anything else," Chu Mu said.
"Then I'll have to thank Brother Chu."
With an extra 20%, no one would object. In their hearts, they were even more impressed with Chu Mu. If it was someone like Luo Zhongxu, without waiting for them to say anything, he might have proposed a distribution method that would give him an even higher percentage.
Strength would make people revere you, but strength and character would make people admire you from the bottom of their hearts.
After discussing the problem of the cave and the distribution of the cave, everyone stopped. They were not good at socializing in the first place.
But after a while, Mu Gaoli spoke again.
"Brother Chu, I heard that you came from the outside world. Can you tell us what the outside world is like?" asked Mu Gaoli. Yue Zhen and Xu Qingya also looked at Chu Mu.
"The outside world is called the Deep Blue World …" Chu Mu gave a simple explanation, describing the difference between the outside world and the land of exile.
Everyone's eyes were filled with yearning.
Clearly, compared to the Land of Exile, the living environment of the Deep Blue World was much better. However, the Land of Exile also had its advantages. The harsh environment gave the cultivators here a stronger ability to survive and strength.
Moreover, the land of exile had the Dark God Greatsword, allowing the cultivators to easily control sword energy.
However, the living and cultivation environment of the Deep Blue World was very attractive to the people of the land of exile. If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't leave, they would have already entered the Deep Blue World.
"Brother Chu, according to my understanding, the cultivators of the outside world who enter the land of exile are usually those who can't survive in the outside world. They have made too many enemies and have no other choice but to enter the land of exile. With Brother Chu's talent, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's rare to see someone like you in a million years. All the major sects would definitely fight over you and give you the highest level of cultivation. Your path of cultivation would be incomparably smooth. Why would you enter the land of exile?" asked Yue Zhen curiously.
"I entered the land of exile because I had no other choice," said Chu Mu.
This sentence immediately stunned the four. They felt that Chu Mu was joking. However, Chu Mu didn't have any intention of explaining, so they didn't continue this topic.
Everyone asked about the Deep Blue World's situation and Chu Mu answered them one by one. After that, they became silent.
Chu Mu didn't immediately enter a state of comprehension. Instead, he checked his harvest.
His harvest from the first and second layers were mainly spiritual herbs. The lowest grade was low iron grade and the highest grade was high silver grade. Other than the Bronze Blood Dragon Root, which he planned to keep for refining to increase his cultivation, the rest of the spiritual herbs could be sold.
After doing some calculations, Chu Mu calculated that there were over ten thousand Black Iron Roots. In addition to the other Black Iron rank spiritual herbs, after selling them, he would obtain over two hundred thousand Black Iron Hearts. This was a huge number. Of course, if it was converted to Bronze Hearts, it would only be twenty Bronze Hearts. It really wasn't much.
Of course, to many low-level Saints, 200,000 Hearts of Black Iron was a huge fortune. Even the majority of mid-level Saints would not be able to possess so much wealth.
Unless the Black Iron Hearts were much more than two hundred thousand times, or even a thousand times, Chu Mu wouldn't care about it.
The focus was on the Bronze Heart and Silver Heart, especially the Silver Heart.
There were more Bronze Roots than Black Iron Roots. There were more than fourteen thousand Black Iron Roots. This was worth over one hundred and forty thousand Bronze Hearts. In addition, there were other Bronze rank spiritual herbs. The final value was a little over five hundred thousand Bronze Hearts. It was much more than the Black Iron Hearts.
When they were on the first layer, Chu Mu and the others were looking for the entrance to the second layer. Therefore, they didn't stay on the first layer for too long. Their main focus was on the second layer. Therefore, the harvest on the second layer was much more than on the first layer.
If Luo Zhongxu and the others hadn't also searched the second layer, their harvest would have been even more. However, in the end, Luo Zhongxu and the others' harvest belonged to the others.
A Bronze Heart worth over five hundred thousand was equivalent to about fifty Silver Hearts. This was a wealth that even an Eight Star Saint would be envious of. Even the majority of Nine Star Saints would be tempted.
If people knew that Chu Mu had spiritual herbs worth two hundred thousand Black Iron Hearts and five hundred thousand Bronze Hearts, many Eight Star Saints would act.
However, this wasn't all. This was just a small portion. The most valuable items were the Silver rank spiritual herbs.
A Bronze Blood Dragon Root was worth one thousand Silver Hearts. Chu Mu divided eighty percent, which was equivalent to eight hundred Silver Hearts. However, he didn't plan to sell it. Moreover, there were other Silver rank spiritual herbs and Silver rank ores found by others.
Because it was only the second layer, there were very few Silver rank spiritual herbs and ores. After searching around, the five of them didn't have much harvest. After conversion, excluding the Bronze Blood Dragon Root, they still had about six hundred Silver Hearts. However, they still owed them more than a hundred Silver Hearts. After paying them back, they would still have about five hundred Silver Hearts.
After calculating their harvest, they counted Luo Zhongxu's spatial ring.
Luo Zhongxu's spatial ring was Chu Mu's spoils of war. Everything inside could be considered Chu Mu's harvest.
After checking, Luo Zhongxu's Black Iron rank spiritual herbs and the Black Iron Hearts that he originally had totaled about one hundred and thirty thousand. On the first layer, Chu Mu and the others had searched once. Including them, there were a total of eight people. Although Luo Zhongxu's share was higher, it wasn't much.
Even if there were more than a million Black Iron Hearts, Chu Mu wouldn't care about it.
Next, it was the value of the Bronze Hearts, Bronze Roots, and other Bronze rank spiritual herbs. In addition to the Bronze Hearts that Luo Zhongxu already had, the total was about two hundred thousand.
On the second layer, Chu Mu and the others searched wantonly. Luo Zhongxu and the others' harvest was smaller. In the end, they directly followed Chu Mu and the others, intending to kill them and rob them of everything. Naturally, their harvest wasn't as much as Chu Mu and the others.
Finally, it was the harvest of the Silver Hearts.
Luo Zhongxu originally had eight Silver Hearts, which was considered a good fortune. There were also several types of Silver rank spiritual herbs and ores. Altogether, they were worth about one hundred and fifty Silver Hearts.
In addition to these things, Chu Mu also found a flying shuttle in Luo Zhongxu's spatial ring. It was a ten-meter-long flying shuttle. It was completely black and had a ferocious head symbol on it.
The value of flying shuttles was extremely high. Small forces couldn't have them at all. Only the stronger forces could have one or two. As for individuals, generally, only those powerful and wealthy cultivators could have them.
This Luo Zhongxu didn't seem to be a wealthy person. Yet, he actually had a flying shuttle. This really surprised Chu Mu.
With a flying shuttle, one could just take it wherever one wanted to go in the future. It was fast and didn't consume one's energy. It also had a very strong defensive power. It could be called a good thing for home travel.
After counting, Chu Mu's harvest on this trip was enough to make many peak Nine-Star Saint experts jealous.
