"How can I collect 100,000 credits in the shortest time possible?"
After leaving the Hidden Art Pavilion, Chu Mu returned to his own Sword Tower and kept thinking along the way.
"Chu Mu." A voice came from not far away, startling Chu Mu. Turning around to look, Liang Haishan walked over with a smile on his face: "So you were here. No wonder I didn't see any movement when I went to your Sword Tower to look for you."
"Looking for me? What's the matter? "Chu Mu asked.
"Of course there's something, but it's a good thing." Liang Haishan laughed and said, "Let's go. I will take you to a place."
"Where?" Chu Mu asked.
"To attend a swordsmanship seminar." Liang Haishan explained, "You are a new student and have just arrived, so you are not familiar with the Inner Mansion. I will take you to the seminar. On the one hand, you can exchange swordsmanship experiences with others. On the other hand, you can get to know more people. It will be easier to find partners when you want to do missions or experience in the future. "
"Exchange swordsmanship experiences …" Chu Mu thought for a while. "Is this swordsmanship seminar an organization like the Heavenly King Palace?"
"No, the nature is completely different. An organization like the Heavenly King Palace is headed by the Palace Master. The others are all subservient to the Palace Master and serve the entire Heavenly King Palace." Liang Haishan shook his head and explained, "The swordsmanship seminar is a spontaneous and idle organization. The purpose of the organization is to exchange swordsmanship and cultivation experiences and to discuss and learn from each other. Whether you are willing to participate or not is voluntary. It will not be forced, and you don't have to pay any price. In short, as long as you don't maliciously stir up trouble, you can even listen on the side and not express any opinions. "
Chu Mu understood after Liang Haishan's explanation.
"Then let's go." Chu Mu said.
He also wanted to know the level of swordsmanship of the Inner Mansion students. Since the swordsmanship seminar was an idle organization, it would not form any restrictions on him.
"Okay, come with me." Liang Haishan smiled and explained to Chu Mu as he led the way, "Swordsmanship seminars are very common in the Inner Mansion, but they have different names. The swordsmanship seminar we're going to is called the Sword Sparring Meeting. The organizer is Senior Brother Situ Kou, who possesses the cultivation of Dacheng's Sword Qi in the Qi Transformation Realm. His swordsmanship attainments are exceptional. In the last Inner House Swordsmanship King Competition, he ranked in the top 1000.
"Swordsmanship King Competition?" Liang Haishan blurted out another new term, making Chu Mu a little curious.
"You've just entered the Inner Palace, so there are many things you don't know. The Inner Palace is not like the Outer Palace, where you can read the Inner Palace's rules." Liang Haishan smiled and said, "You must know that to us swordsmen, profound sword qi cultivation and powerful sword techniques are all very important. However, the attainment of basic sword techniques is also an indispensable part. If one's attainments in basic swordsmanship were not deep enough, it would be extremely difficult to cultivate more advanced swordsmanship in the future. Therefore, the Sword Mansion will hold the Swordsmanship King Competition once every three years. In the competition, sword qi and other sword techniques are not allowed. Only basic sword techniques are allowed to compete. "
Chu Mu suddenly understood, and an uncontrollable strong interest burst out from the bottom of his heart.
A swordsmanship competition that only used basic sword techniques was like an eagle soaring in the sky to his heart's content.
"Speaking of which, the next Swordsmanship King Competition will begin in half a year." Liang Haishan said, "Don't underestimate the top 1000. You must know that there are more than 70,000 students in the Inner Palace. Although not everyone will participate, at least half of them will. To be able to rank in the top 1000 among tens of thousands of people, one's swordsmanship attainments is also very remarkable. Senior Brother Situ Kou is modest and polite. After the Sword Sparring Meeting, if you have any questions about swordsmanship, you can ask him. Senior Brother Situ Kou will naturally guide you. "
"Okay." Chu Mu nodded.
At this time, Chu Mu's mind was attracted by the so-called Swordsmanship King Competition, temporarily forgetting the idea of collecting credits as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would have definitely asked Liang Haishan.
Under Liang Haishan's lead, they passed by one Sword Tower after another.
The Sword Tower they passed by now was a three-story Sword Tower. Chu Mu knew that it was a Profound Level Sword Tower.
In the Inner Palace, the Sword Towers were divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. The Yellow Level Sword Tower had two floors, the Profound Level Sword Tower had three floors, the Earth Level Sword Tower had four floors, and the Heaven Level Sword Tower had five floors.
Along the way, Liang Haishan did not show any signs of stopping. He kept telling Chu Mu all kinds of things about the Inner Palace. These were things that the Outer Palace Master did not mention before, so that Chu Mu could have a better understanding of the Inner Palace.
"Is it possible that Situ Kou does not live in the Profound Level Sword Tower, but in the Earth Level Sword Tower?" A thought popped up in Chu Mu's mind.
The residence rights of different levels of Sword Towers represented strength. Being able to live in the Earth Level Sword Tower was enough to show that Situ Kou's strength was very strong.
Sure enough, Liang Haishan stopped in front of a four-story Sword Tower's seal.
"This is the Sword Tower where Senior Brother Situ Kou lives, the Earth Level Sword Tower. The Sword Sparring Meeting is also held in this Sword Tower." Liang Haishan said as he touched the seal.
Not long after, someone appeared from the Sword Tower and flashed to the seal.
"Liang Haishan, so it's you." The person glanced at Chu Mu, but did not care. Instead, he smiled at Liang Haishan and took out a sword token and placed it on the seal. Immediately, a door opened for Liang Haishan and Chu Mu to enter.
"Zhou Ting, you're earlier than me again." Liang Haishan smiled and said. He seemed to be very familiar with Zhou Ting.
"I'm the third one here. Of course I'm earlier than you." Zhou Ting said. Then he looked at Chu Mu and said, "I don't know you, but you've just entered the Qi Transformation Realm. Are you a new student?"
"He is indeed a new student, but don't underestimate him. Not long ago, he defeated Meng Chao in a head-on fight. Also, he was in the top four in the three natural barriers. He's not simple." Liang Haishan introduced.
"So you're the one who defeated Meng Chao." Zhou Ting looked at Chu Mu from head to toe, as if he wanted to see what was different about Chu Mu. However, he was not familiar with Chu Mu, so he did not have a good or bad impression of him. His impression of him was average. "Liang Haishan, although such a talented junior brother should be taken care of, this time, Zhuang Tong is also here. He will definitely target you. I'm afraid that Chu Mu will also be affected."
"Zhuang Tong …" Meng Chao frowned. "Why is he here again?"
"I don't know." Zhou Ting said.
"Hmph, if he's here, then he's here. He's just a loser. What's there to be afraid of?" Liang Haishan snorted coldly.
"It's hard to say. I heard that he had a fortuitous encounter when he was out on a mission. Not only did his cultivation increase, his sword skills also increased by a lot. As for how much, I don't know," Zhou Ting said. He then looked at Chu Mu. "I think it's best if you don't go in for now. Zhuang Tong is not easy to get along with. He might make things difficult for you, and it'll be bad for your future cultivation."
Before Chu Mu could say anything, Liang Haishan spoke first. "No need. I'm here. Let's see what Zhuang Tong dares to do. Even if his strength has increased, I'm not stagnant. If I can defeat him once, I can defeat him a second time."
"Do whatever you want." Zhou Ting might be familiar with Liang Haishan, but their relationship had not reached the point where they could talk to each other. Since his advice was useless, he did not continue.
"Chu Mu, if Zhuang Tong makes things difficult for you later, don't say anything. Leave everything to me." Liang Haishan took a deep breath and said.
Chu Mu nodded and did not reply. It was not his style to not fight back when being bullied. However, he didn't need to explain this to others.
As soon as they stepped into the Sword Tower, dozens of people jumped into their sight.
The first floor of the Earth Level Sword Tower was even larger. It was more than one thousand square meters. Dozens of people sat cross-legged in a circle with a cushion each. One of them seemed to be the center.
Chu Mu's gaze also fell on that person.
His face was like jade, and his temperament was seventy percent masculine and thirty percent gentle. His sword-like eyebrows and three-dimensional facial features could be called a handsome man.
Without Liang Haishan's introduction, Chu Mu knew that this person was the owner of this Sword Tower: Situ Kou.
Liang Haishan and Chu Mu's entrance attracted the attention of a small number of people. They turned around and nodded as a greeting, but did not say anything.
Liang Haishan and Chu Mu found two empty cushions and sat down. The atmosphere made Chu Mu feel like a student sitting in a classroom listening to a teacher's lecture.
Situ Kou was slowly explaining some of his understanding of swordsmanship. Chu Mu listened carefully.
"His understanding of swordsmanship is indeed not bad. If placed on Earth, he would be equivalent to a Swordsmanship Master." Not long after, Chu Mu judged in his heart.
Swordsmanship Masters were also divided into different levels. Entry level Swordsmanship Master, Dacheng Master, was the most common classification.
In the past, the opponents Chu Mu had encountered were at most at the beginner stage of sword technique master. Back then, Xiao Qianfeng barely counted as such. This Situ Kou's explanation of sword techniques had barely reached the small success stage of sword technique master. This made Chu Mu somewhat surprised.
"Judging by the situation, his swordsmanship attainment should be at Entry level Swordsmanship Master."
Situ Kou explained for a while more. His gaze fell on Chu Mu's face and he smiled. "It seems that we have a new member of the Sword Conference. Junior Brother, please introduce yourself."
"My name is Chu Mu. I just entered the Inner Mansion," Chu Mu said.
"Chu Mu, I think I've heard of this name before." Someone muttered with a thoughtful expression.
"Isn't that the new student who defeated Meng Chao?"
"Oh, yes, that should be him."
"You defeated an old student when you just entered the Inner Mansion. Not bad. It seems that your swordsmanship attainment is not low." Suddenly, someone stood up with a strange smile on his face. "It just so happens that I've improved my swordsmanship after returning from my trip. I feel pretty good about myself. Junior Brother, why don't we have a spar?"
"Zhuang Tong, if your hands are itchy, I don't mind sparring with you." Liang Haishan stood up and sneered.
