In the room, Chu Mu furrowed his brows.
After a series of tests, he realized that the effects of cultivating on his own while wearing the Dragon Devouring Jade Pendant were not much better. In fact, there was not much of a difference.
Thinking about it, Chu Mu immediately understood.
"The Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth in my current environment is normal. The Dragon Devouring Jade Pendant absorbs the surrounding Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth at a higher rate than if I cultivate on my own. Therefore, the Yuan Qi that I absorb when I cultivate on my own will be absorbed by the Dragon Devouring Jade Pendant."
Because the Dragon Devouring Jade Pendant was worn on Chu Mu's body, it would automatically absorb the surrounding Yuan Qi and gather it around Chu Mu. Then, it would be absorbed into the jade pendant and enter Chu Mu's body to be converted into Divine Wilderness Sword Essence.
When Chu Mu cultivated on his own, he would also need to absorb the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth. Because his cultivation level was at the early Fifth Sky of the Aeon Realm, there was nothing special about his speed of absorbing the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth. On the other hand, the Dragon Devouring Jade Pendant was at the peak of the Sixth Sky of the Aeon Realm. Under the obvious difference in speed, the Yuan Qi that Chu Mu absorbed when he cultivated on his own will be absorbed by the Dragon Devouring Jade Pendant.
For example, if a pipe was poured into a pool of water and the flow of water was constant, the pipe would be divided into two, one big and one small. The time it would take to fill up the pool would be the same.
Unless the speed at which the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth gathered was faster than the speed at which the Dragon Devouring Jade Pendant absorbed it. Only then would Chu Mu's cultivation be effective.
It seemed like his plan to cultivate on his own and use the Dragon Devouring Jade Pendant's absorption to increase his cultivation level was going to fail.
"Unless I can find an excellent place to cultivate," Chu Mu thought to himself.
There were some cultivation holy grounds where the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth was extremely dense. There was almost no need to absorb the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth. Cultivating in such an environment would be more effective.
However, such places were very rare. They were usually controlled by those powerful forces, unless Chu Mu was willing to join them and become one of their disciples.
With his talent, if he joined a powerful force and became one of its members, he might have the opportunity to enter such a holy land of cultivation. However, the time was uncertain.
If Chu Mu was from the Land of Exile and planned to stay there forever, it wouldn't matter. The problem was that he had less than 29 years left.
"I wonder how much of a boost I would receive if I were to take the Spirit Boosting Pill and cultivate with the Dragon Devouring Jade Pendant?"
There were only twelve Spirit Boosting Pills, which were very precious. Moreover, this was an auction house, so it was not suitable for Chu Mu to try. He could only put the idea aside for the time being.
Since there was no way to stack it with the Dragon Devouring Jade Pendant, Chu Mu decided to stop cultivating. Instead, he focused on comprehending the sword art.
Because he had comprehended the true intent of the sword, the many sword images in his mind had all condensed into one.
A solid sword image contained thousands of sword arts and thousands of mysteries. Even now, Chu Mu had not fully comprehended it. Moreover, there was still the Sword Universe. Chu Mu had only comprehended a small portion of its mysteries.
The auction items were presented one after another, and the price rose higher and higher. Soon, the price reached four hundred Silver Hearts.
For the majority of the First Pavilion, the following items were not something they could participate in. However, it could be considered an eye-opener.
Chu Mu had not been able to obtain the treasure he wanted, so he continued to comprehend the Sword Universe and sword art, verifying each other.
"Five hundred Silver Hearts!"
A loud and clear voice resounded through the entire place. It was an Eight Star Martial Saint from the First Pavilion who had shouted.
After this eight-star Saint shouted out five hundred Silver Hearts, his face turned red from excitement.
A total of five hundred Silver Hearts! A portion of it was his many years of savings, while the rest was obtained through other methods. He would have to return it in the future.
However, as long as he could obtain this treasure, it would be worth it.
No one continued to bid. In the end, this eight-star Saint obtained the treasure at the price of five hundred Silver Hearts.
After obtaining the treasure, he quickly left the Thousand Slaughter House.
He was not afraid of being stolen, but he was afraid of being remembered. While the others were still participating in the auction, he quickly left. He did not want to be targeted after the auction ended.
With the strength of an eight-star Saint, there were many people who could kill him.
This person's departure did not affect the progress of the auction. The auction continued, and the price continued to rise.
Six hundred Silver Hearts. Seven hundred Silver Hearts.
Soon, the eighty-ninth item was auctioned off.
"Next are the last ten items. Some of them are special, so they will be auctioned together." Lin Weiyin said as she picked up the five jade tokens on the table. "These five tokens represent the five auction items and also the five slots to enter the Black God Secret Realm ten years later."
"Black God Secret Realm!"
A portion of the people were at a loss. They did not know what the Black God Secret Realm was, but a portion of them were first stunned, then shocked.
"What is the Black God Secret Realm?" The auctioneer, Lin Weiyin, kept the crowd in suspense. "Some of you have heard of it, but some of you have not."
"Everyone knows about the Black God Great Sword. The Black God Secret Realm is related to the Black God Great Sword.
"Every one thousand years, the Dark God Giant Sword will release a strong energy fluctuation, tearing the space apart and leading to a secret place. Inside that secret place, there are great opportunities. Since ancient times, people who have entered and exited the secret place will have a significant increase in their strength." Lin Weiyin's tone was not passionate. It was still so clear, but it seemed to contain a kind of power that made people unable to help but concentrate and imagine along with her tone.
"Many of the experts that we know, such as the Mystic Origin Sword Saint, the Dragon Devouring Sword Saint, and the Kongming Sword Saint, have all entered the Black God Secret Realm. Their strength also increased a lot in the secret realm."
Of those Sword Saints that Lin Weiyin mentioned, some were dead, some were still alive, and their names were spread far and wide.
There was no need for too much explanation. As long as she told the truth, everyone would understand the importance of the Black God Secret Realm.
It opened once every thousand years. After entering, one's strength would increase significantly. Although there was danger, no cultivator would be naive enough to think that there would be no danger if they wanted to increase their strength quickly and obtain benefits.
Moreover, the Black God Secret Realm did not have a restriction on one's cultivation base to enter. In other words, even the seven kings could enter.
Many people's breathing became hurried.
Although it was ten years later, it was nothing.
For Saint realm experts, ten years was not a long time.
"The Black God Secret Realm …" Chu Mu also heard it and woke up from his meditation. "It is related to the Black God Great Sword, it can increase one's strength …"
Now, when he heard that it could increase his strength, he was moved.
"The starting price for the ten spots to enter the Black God Secret Realm is five hundred Silver Hearts. Each increment must be no less than ten Silver Hearts. Now, the bidding for the first spot begins."
As soon as Lin Weiyin finished speaking, someone immediately made a bid.
"Six hundred Silver Hearts!"
Directly increasing the price by one hundred Silver Hearts showed that this person was determined to get it.
There were ten spots. It seemed like a lot, but it was actually very little. As long as there was a spot, anyone could enter the Black God Secret Realm.
"Seven hundred."
"Seven hundred and fifty."
"Eight hundred."
Eight hundred Silver Hearts. This price was very high. It had completely exceeded the 89th auction item.
After a few breaths of silence, someone continued to make a bid.
"Eight hundred and ten."
"Eight hundred and twenty."
The increase in price started to become more conservative.
"Eight hundred and fifty." Chu Mu made a bid.
He felt that if he didn't get the ten slots now, as the number of slots decreased, the price of the later auctions might be even higher. Of course, this wasn't absolute. It was just that he wanted to get a slot as soon as possible.
"Eight hundred and sixty."
"Nine hundred." Chu Mu's voice did not waver. He was determined to get a spot.
"I doubt if he can take out nine hundred Silver Hearts." At this time, a voice sounded, questioning Chu Mu. It was the same person who had deliberately targeted him during the auction of the Dragon Devouring Jade.
Before the auction, Chu Mu had already spent four hundred and five Silver Hearts. Now that he made a bid of nine hundred Silver Hearts, it was indeed doubtful if he could afford it.
"Whether Brother Chu can afford it or not has nothing to do with you." A voice sounded.
"Who are you? How dare you interfere with my business?"
"Long Yunkong." That voice said.
"Three Sacred Sect's Long Yunkong. Fine, I, Fei Yang, will remember."
This was just a small episode, and it did not affect the auction. However, it also let people know that Long Yunkong and Chu Mu had a good relationship. Otherwise, Long Yunkong would not have offended Fei Yang.
One had to know that Fei Yang and Long Yunkong were both geniuses of the second array.
"Nine hundred Silver Hearts going once." Lin Weiyin announced.
"Nine hundred and ten." Someone else made a bid.
"Nine hundred and twenty."
"One thousand." Chu Mu's tone was firm and determined. He directly increased the bid to one thousand Silver Hearts.
One thousand Silver Hearts was a huge fortune, and it was enough to make many people shrink back. It also shocked many people. A five star Saint actually had such a shocking amount of wealth.
"There are still nine spots left. It's not worthwhile to compete with him." Someone muttered and gave up on bidding.
"One thousand Silver Hearts going once."
Lin Weiyin raised her small hammer.
"One thousand Silver Hearts going twice. Is there a higher bid?"
"One thousand Silver Hearts going thrice. Sold."
Chu Mu let out a sigh of relief. His wish was fulfilled and he won a spot in the auction.
Soon, the nine star Saint who delivered the treasure earlier delivered a jade token to Chu Mu's room and handed it to Chu Mu. Chu Mu also took out a thousand Silver Hearts and handed it to the other party, completing the transaction.
