"This guy must be lucky to have found the space bracelet somewhere in the first level of the Blood Demon Realm. There just so happened to be a lot of Blood Demon Cores in it. Otherwise, how could he have obtained so many Blood Demon Cores with his Qi Transformation Realm cultivation?"
In the end, many people thought so, because this was the most reasonable reason they could think of.
No matter what they thought or guessed, Chu Mu didn't care. He first returned to the Sword Tower, washed himself with warm water, changed into a clean set of clothes, and immediately went to the Art Depository Tower.
When he arrived at the Art Depository Tower, Chu Mu didn't hesitate at all and directly went to the third floor.
"Fortunately, it's still here." Looking at the books in the bookshelf, Chu Mu breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that he would be a step too late and someone else would have exchanged for them.
He immediately took out his identity sword token and pressed it on the seal. 100,000 credits were automatically deducted from the token, leaving him with more than 260,000 credits.
Holding the Nine Rotation of Heavenly Origin Book in his hand, Chu Mu was truly relieved and immediately put it into the space bracelet.
"I still have more than 260,000 credits. Let's look at other things … such as swordsmanship … secret methods …" Chu Mu muttered to himself and directly went to the fourth floor. He planned to start from there.
"The swordsmanship I have mastered so far, except for the Form of Wind, are all advanced swordsmanships. My top priority should be to find a more advanced swordsmanship to cultivate. Surmounting swordsmanship … or … ancient swordsmanship …" Thinking of ancient swordsmanship, Chu Mu's heart was burning.
Ancient swordsmanship was more powerful than surmounting swordsmanship, but Chu Mu didn't know if he could cultivate ancient swordsmanship now. It was just like he couldn't cultivate surmounting swordsmanship when he was in the Sword Qi Realm, because he couldn't bear the consumption of surmounting swordsmanship.
Chu Mu had already seen the Sword Qi Formula on the fourth floor, so he ignored it and went directly to the swordsmanship section.
There weren't many swordsmanships on the fourth floor, but they were all ancient swordsmanship.
The first floor of the Art Depository Tower contained low-level to advanced swordsmanship, the second floor contained surmounting swordsmanship, and the third floor contained ancient swordsmanship.
However, there were different levels of ancient sword techniques. Some were strong, some were weak, some were profound, and some were shallow. The ancient sword techniques on the third level were of a lower level, while the ones on the fourth level were of a higher level.
In the time he had spent in the inner palace, Chu Mu had already gained some understanding of the ancient sword technique.
The cultivation of the Ancient Sword Technique required one's intent realm.
If one's cultivation did not reach the required level, they would not be able to practice it normally, let alone execute it.
On the other hand, the Ancient Sword Technique mainly required one's intent.
Of course, the cultivation and use of ancient sword arts also required sword qi, and one had to be at least in the Qi Transformation Realm. However, compared to the Qi Transformation Realm, the requirements were much clearer.
If one had only cultivation but no intent realm, the Ancient Sword Technique would be just for show.
Without sufficient cultivation, the ancient sword technique would lose its support.
Simply put, for ancient sword techniques, cultivation was the foundation, and intent realm was the necessary extension.
"Azure Python Sword Technique, a water-type Human-Tier ancient sword technique. There are a total of four moves. Requires one to grasp at least 50% of the Water Concept. Can be exchanged for 150,000 academic credits."
Chu Mu gasped. A Human-Tier ancient sword technique actually required one to grasp at least 50% of the Water Concept. Furthermore, it required 150,000 academic credits to exchange for it.
"My Wind Concept is only at 45%. It's still a distance away from 50%." Chu Mu thought to himself.
He moved his feet and looked at the other ancient sword techniques.
"Dazzling Light Sword Technique, a light-elemental Human-Tier ancient sword technique. There are a total of three moves. Requires one to grasp at least 50% of the Light Concept. Can be exchanged for 180,000 academic credits."
"The Light Concept is harder to comprehend than the Five Elements Concept. However, once it is comprehended, its power will surpass the Five Elements Concept. Light-elemental sword techniques are similarly rare and more profound. It's worth 30,000 academic credits more than the Azure Python Sword Technique." Chu Mu thought to himself.
"Snow Dance Sword Technique, a snow-elemental Human-Tier ancient sword technique. There are a total of four moves. Requires one to grasp at least 50% of the Snow Concept. Can be exchanged for 180,000 academic credits."
"The Snow Dance Sword Technique's academic credits are actually as high as the Dazzling Light Sword Technique. However, this is normal. The Snow Concept is considered one of the more obscure concepts."
Chu Mu gradually looked through the ancient sword techniques one after another.
He realized that the ancient sword techniques on the fourth level were all low-grade. Furthermore, all of them required one to grasp at least 50% of the concept. Chu Mu felt that if he could master such an ancient sword technique, he would definitely be able to fully display the power of the concept. It would be extremely terrifying.
"The concepts that I have comprehended are wind-elemental, cloud-elemental and metal-elemental. Then, the ancient sword technique that I have chosen should also be based on these three elements. However, the wind-elemental concept is at 45%, while the cloud-elemental and metal-elemental concepts are only at 40%. As for the Wind Concept, it would be relatively faster to raise it to 50%. I should be able to do so within half a year. If I spend more time, I might be able to raise it to 50% in three months. However, it would be more difficult to raise the cloud-elemental and metal-elemental concepts to 50%. It might take a year or two or even longer. "
Chu Mu muttered to himself.
"Fine, I'll find a wind-elemental ancient sword technique to cultivate."
After searching for a while, Chu Mu finally found two wind-elemental ancient sword techniques.
"Hurricane Sword Technique, a wind-elemental ancient sword technique with a total of four moves. It requires one to grasp at least 50% of the Wind Concept. It can be exchanged for 150,000 academic credits."
"Shocking Wind Sword Technique, a wind-elemental ancient sword technique with a total of three moves. It requires one to grasp at least 50% of the Wind Concept. It can be exchanged for 160,000 academic credits."
The Sword Mansion's academic credits exchange was not random. The difference between 150,000 and 160,000 was the difference in power between two different ancient sword techniques.
Intuitively speaking, the power of the Shocking Wind Sword Technique should be stronger than the Hurricane Sword Technique.
"Hurricane Sword Technique … Shocking Wind Sword Technique …" Chu Mu pondered for a while before making a decision. "It's only a difference of 10,000 academic credits. I'll choose the Shocking Wind Sword Technique."
However, Chu Mu did not immediately make the exchange. Instead, he walked up the stairs to the third floor. He wanted to see if there were any differences between the ancient sword techniques on the third floor and the fourth floor.
"Hurricane Sword Technique, a wind-elemental ancient sword technique with a total of four moves. It requires one to grasp at least 40% of the Wind Concept. It can be exchanged for 100,000 academic credits."
Chu Mu checked while teleporting. In the end, he confirmed that the ancient sword technique on the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion was a human-elemental ancient sword technique like the one on the fourth floor. However, the requirement of the Wind Concept was 10% lower than the one on the fourth floor.
Naturally, the ancient sword technique on the third floor was not as powerful as the one on the fourth floor.
"Although I can cultivate the Hurricane Sword Technique as soon as I exchange for it, the Shocking Wind Sword Technique still has better prospects in the long run."
After returning to the fourth floor, Chu Mu took out his identity sword token and pressed it against the seal on the Shocking Wind Sword Technique. 160,000 academic credits were deducted and the seal disappeared. Chu Mu grabbed the Shocking Wind Sword Technique and stored it in his spatial bracelet.
"I still have more than 100,000 academic credits left." Chu Mu checked the number of academic credits in his identity sword token and was speechless.
It seemed that the academic credits were too expendable. He had just obtained 310,000, and in the blink of an eye, 260,000 had been deducted.
"I still have 100,000 academic credits left. Let's look at the others."
On the fourth floor, Chu Mu walked towards the movement techniques. After looking through them one by one, Chu Mu had no choice but to give up. These movement techniques were all very advanced and required a lot of academic credits. They all cost more than 100,000.
With Chu Mu's current few thousand academic credits, it was simply not enough.
He strolled around the secret technique area.
There were not many secret techniques in the secret technique area. However, the academic credits required for each secret technique were frighteningly high. It was at least 300,000. It was at least twice as expensive as the ancient sword technique, Sword Qi Art, and so on.
"So I'm still very poor." Chu Mu shook his head and thought to himself. He wondered if he should take the Blood Evil Stones and blood essences in his spatial bracelet to the Hundred Affairs Hall and exchange them for academic credits.
If he could exchange them for academic credits, then he would definitely be able to obtain even more. It would not be a problem to exchange for these secret techniques.
However, there were some secret techniques that Chu Mu did not like. Some secret techniques were simply not suitable for him to cultivate. Coupled with the fact that the academic credits required for them were too high, Chu Mu was not very interested.
"Let's go to the third floor first." Chu Mu thought for a moment and thought to himself, "I still don't know the specific functions of the Blood Evil Stones and blood essences. It's not good to rashly exchange them. If they are of great use to me, then it won't be so easy to obtain them again. It's hard to say when the Blood Demon Realm will appear again. Therefore, I should keep the Blood Evil Stones and blood essences as much as possible."
The movement techniques on the third floor were all within the acceptable range of Chu Mu's academic credits.
However, after looking through them, Chu Mu did not particularly like any of them. Currently, Chu Mu felt that the Phantom Steps was very practical. It was just that its level was a little low.
He walked towards the secret technique area.
There were more secret techniques on the third floor than on the fourth floor. The academic credits required for exchange were also not as frightening. However, some of them were indeed beyond the acceptable range of Chu Mu's academic credits. However, there were also some that were within 100,000 academic credits.
As he searched, Chu Mu's eyes lit up. He was immediately attracted by one of the secret techniques.
"Supreme Secret Technique: Transcendent Secret Technique. This secret technique is unable to increase one's strength. However, after cultivating it, it can permanently increase the level of the movement technique. The upper limit is the transcendent level. The exchange rate is 100,000 academic credits. Note: Those with extremely high perception can learn it quickly. "
"The total exchange rate for a transcendent movement technique and a transcendent movement technique is at least 100,000 academic credits. However, the Supreme Secret Technique only requires 100,000 academic credits to increase the level of both movement technique and movement technique. Although the upper limit is the transcendent level, it is enough for me. Moreover, the following note states that those with extremely high perception can learn it quickly. I believe that with my perception, I will definitely be able to cultivate this secret technique in a short period of time. "
Without any hesitation, Chu Mu took out his identity sword token again and pressed it against the seal of the Supreme Secret Technique to exchange for the secret technique.
For Chu Mu, instead of choosing a new transcendent movement technique or movement technique to cultivate, he would rather improve the Phantom Steps to the transcendent level.
This was because he was very satisfied with the Phantom Steps. Moreover, he had already cultivated it to perfection. Once it reached the transcendent level, it might not be perfect, but for him, who had already grasped the essence of the Phantom Steps, it would not be difficult for him to cultivate it to perfection.
Chu Mu left the Scripture Pavilion in satisfaction. Although the academic credits in his identity sword token had dropped from 300,000 to only a few thousand, he did not feel the pinch at all.
Academic credits were like money. He would use them when he needed them! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
