There were many people in Bloodbath City. After Chu Mu walked through the city gates, he followed the flow of people.
"Young master, you've returned." A voice rang out. Lin Biruo strode over from the side and stood respectfully beside Chu Mu.
Chu Mu was speechless. He had planned to ignore Lin Biruo, his so-called maidservant, so he had no intention of looking for her after returning to Bloodbath City. He didn't expect her to come looking for him herself.
"How did you know I was coming back?" Chu Mu asked.
"Sword Saint Liuyun told me," Lin Biruo replied respectfully.
Lin Biruo often went to Long Yunkong's manor to see if Chu Mu had returned. She met Long Yunkong some time ago and asked about it. Long Yunkong also knew that Lin Biruo was Chu Mu's maidservant and didn't hide it. After that, Lin Biruo often went out to see if she could bump into Chu Mu.
After many times, she finally met Chu Mu.
After knowing what happened, Chu Mu was even more speechless.
This Lin Biruo, this maidservant, really …
He didn't know how to describe it.
Alright, perhaps it wasn't a bad thing to have such a silly maidservant accompany him in the land of exile.
"Young Master, Sword Saint Liuyun asked me to tell you that he's going out for a while and will only be back after some time. When the time comes, he will look for you," Lin Biruo said.
Chu Mu nodded.
"I'm going to the City of Silver. Are you going to stay here, or …" Before Chu Mu could finish his sentence, Lin Biruo interrupted him. "I'll go wherever you go."
"Alright." Chu Mu didn't reject this time. "However, you should go back to the Lin Family and wait for me. I still have something to do. After I'm done, I'll go to the Lin Family to look for you."
"Yes, Young Master," Lin Biruo replied obediently.
Chu Mu's task was to return the Black Market Token to Xu Qingya. Hence, he went to Bloodbath Hall.
Slaughtering Blood Hall was not an easy place to enter, so Chu Mu was stopped.
"The two of you, I have something to discuss with Xu Qingya. Please inform her." Chu Mu said to the guards at the entrance of Bloodbath Hall.
"This is not a place you should be," one of the guards said coldly.
"Leave immediately. Otherwise, it will be seen as an invasion," another guard said coldly. There was even a trace of killing intent in his voice.
These two guards were both six star saints. The killing aura on their bodies let Chu Mu know that these two people were veterans of hundreds of battles. Their life and death experiences were incomparably plentiful.
But so what?
If Chu Mu made a move, he would not even need to use his sword to kill the two of them.
However, he didn't do so, and he couldn't do so, because that would provoke the Slaughtering Blood Hall. Such a colossus wasn't something Chu Mu could deal with right now.
Since it wouldn't work, Chu Mu didn't say anything else. He could only wait for the next opportunity to return the Black Market Token to Xu Qingya and leave.
"Hmph, a mere four-star Martial Saint wants to see Miss Xu?"
"Ignore him. There are plenty of people like him."
The two guards didn't bother to hide their words. They entered Chu Mu's ears, but Chu Mu didn't react.
Following that, Chu Mu went to the Lin Family. After finding Lin Biruo, he left the city.
When no one was looking, Chu Mu took out a bright yellow flying shuttle and opened the door.
"A flying shuttle!" Lin Biruo was shocked.
Although her young master's cultivation was only at the early fourth layer of the Wangu Realm, which was lower than her, he was on good terms with the Flowing Cloud Sword Monarch Long Yunkong. She knew that he wasn't an ordinary person. However, she didn't expect her young master to have a flying shuttle.
In the past, when the Lin Family was at its peak, they also had two flying shuttles. But now, they were sold.
"Do you know how to drive a flying shuttle?" Chu Mu asked.
"Young master, I do." Lin Biruo replied. Flying shuttles weren't something that anyone could drive. Those who were new to it would need a period of training before they could master it.
The Lin Family used to have a flying shuttle, and Lin Biruo had learned how to drive one.
Excluding the pilot, there were four seats in the small flying shuttle. It could accommodate five people in total.
Lin Biruo sat in the pilot's seat and was responsible for driving the shuttle. Chu Mu sat in one of the four seats behind.
The flying shuttle started and quickly left Bloodbath City, heading towards the City of Silver.
Every flying shuttle had a topographic map that marked the locations of the five major cities and dozens of camps, as well as the location of the Onyx God Greatsword. In short, all the terrain that had been explored would be marked out.
The normal flying speed of an ordinary small flying shuttle was equivalent to the full speed of an advanced seven-star Saint. Only premium flying shuttles could reach the level of an eight-star Saint. Of course, if one didn't care about the energy consumption, the speed of an ordinary small flying shuttle could be close to that of an eight-star Saint.
Chu Mu didn't need Lin Biruo to unleash the maximum speed of the flying shuttle. He only needed it to fly at normal speed.
It would take almost two months to travel from Bloodbath City to the City of Silver using the speed of an ordinary flying shuttle. This meant that Chu Mu and Lin Biruo would have to spend almost two months on the flying shuttle.
However, it didn't matter. In these two months, Chu Mu wouldn't waste any of it because he could use this time to wholeheartedly comprehend the Energy Unification technique.
As he continued to comprehend and accumulate, the technique of combining strength became more and more profound.
Lin Biruo focused on driving the flying shuttle. The flying shuttle had the ability to sense auras. If a powerful aura appeared within a certain range, it would be sensed.
The route that the flying shuttle took was a route that had been opened up long ago. It was also a relatively safe route that wouldn't encounter any attacks. Moreover, people who could drive flying shuttles were usually extraordinary. Under normal circumstances, no one would provoke them.
After nearly two months, they finally arrived outside the City of Silver. During this time, no accidents happened.
After getting off the flying shuttle and putting it away, Chu Mu brought Lin Biruo and quickly entered the City of Silver.
Chu Mu's goal was to sell spiritual herbs. The seller in his mind was the City Lord's residence. Therefore, he didn't delay and brought Lin Biruo, his maidservant, straight to the City Lord's residence.
The City Lord's residence had opened up a place that specialized in purchasing spiritual herbs. It was some distance away from the City Lord's residence.
"I want to sell spiritual herbs," Chu Mu said.
"Black Iron Root, right? Take it out." The person in charge of the reception was a mid-level Martial Saint. He glanced at Chu Mu and said lazily.
In his opinion, a mere four-star beginner Martial Saint could only take out low-level spiritual herbs like the Black Iron Root. As for the Bronze Root, he didn't even need to think about it.
Even for the Black Iron Root, a mere four-star beginner Martial Saint cultivator, the lowest existence, couldn't take out many. At most, he could only take out a dozen or so.
He had received many people like this, so he didn't take it to heart.
Immediately, Chu Mu waved his hand, and stalks of Black Iron Root appeared in front of the person.
"This …" The shop assistant was shocked when he scanned with his Spiritual Energy. There were five hundred stalks of Black Iron Root in front of him.
Five hundred stalks of Black Iron Root weren't much, but it was shocking for a four-star beginner Martial Saint to take out five hundred stalks of Black Iron Root.
"Someone asked you to sell them, right? Four thousand Black Iron Hearts." While the shop assistant was shocked, his expression swiftly returned to normal. With a sweep of his gaze, he put away all five hundred Black Metal Roots and took out four thousand Black Metal Cores.
"Isn't the Silver City buying Black Iron Roots for ten Black Iron Hearts per stalk? It should be five thousand Black Iron Hearts," Lin Biruo said.
"Four thousand Black Iron Hearts. Do you want them? If not, I'll keep them," the shop assistant said disdainfully.
A four-star Martial Saint and a five-star Martial Saint were nothing to be taken seriously. After all, they were backed by the Silver City Lord Mansion.
Chu Mu finally understood. It turned out that this fellow was planning on earning a fortune from this.
Originally, five hundred stalks of Black Iron Root could be sold for five thousand Black Iron Hearts. He only offered four thousand, and the remaining one thousand was earned by himself. Using this method, he could continuously accumulate wealth.
"Take out the five hundred stalks of Black Iron Root. I'm not selling them," Chu Mu said calmly.
According to the normal market price, a stalk of Black Iron Root could be sold for seven or eight Black Iron Hearts. Only the Silver City Lord Mansion bought them at the highest price, which was ten Black Iron Hearts.
Now, the shop assistant was offering him eight Black Iron Hearts per stalk. It was the highest price in the normal market. It was not bad. However, the shop assistant's attitude was very problematic. This made Chu Mu unhappy. Hence, he was not selling them.
"Looks like you don't even want these four thousand Black Iron Hearts. If that's the case, I'll take them." The shop assistant smiled. With a wave of his hand, he kept all four thousand Black Iron Hearts.
In this way, he had earned five thousand Black Iron Hearts for no reason. He was stuffing them into his own pockets.
It looked like this was not the first time this person had done something like this. Now that he was still so carefree, it meant that he had a backer. Hence, he was not in trouble.
However, those people in the past might have been fearful and could only suffer secretly. But this time, the person he had offended was Chu Mu.
The Silver City Lord Mansion was undoubtedly a massive entity. It was an extremely tyrannical existence. Chu Mu was unwilling to offend them, but that did not mean that Chu Mu had to swallow his pride.
He did not care about five hundred stalks of Black Iron Roots and five thousand Black Iron Hearts. However, the shop assistant was clearly looking down on him and wanted to humiliate him. How could he take a loss and back down?
For someone like him, if one did not provoke him, it would be fine if they said a few words. He would not take it to heart. However, once he was provoked and angered, the consequences would be terrible.
"Take out the five hundred stalks of Black Iron Roots and I won't pursue the matter." Chu Mu looked at the shop assistant and his tone became even calmer.
"What Black Iron Roots? Are you talking to me?" The shop assistant revealed a blank look. He was clearly playing dumb. If Chu Mu was not the person involved, he might have really believed him.
"You are clearly the one who embezzled my young master's five hundred stalks of Black Iron Roots. How dare you play dumb." Lin Biruo, the little maidservant, was furious.
