After the middle-aged man from the Hundred Affair Hall left, Chu Mu immediately returned to the Sword Tower and quickly moved the twenty large red boxes and the only small dark red wooden box to the second floor.
"These boxes should be filled with spirit stones." Chu Mu thought to himself. He was extremely flabbergasted because he couldn't feel any spirit aura coming from the chest.
If it was not because the things in the boxes were not spirit stones, then these boxes were not ordinary. They could isolate the spirit fluctuations inside.
With a faint excitement, Chu Mu forcefully opened the lid of the first enormous red wooden chest. With a creaking sound, a burst of powerful and pure Spirit Aura immediately dispersed. It rushed towards Chu Mu's face and formed a gust of wind that blew Chu Mu's clothes and black hair in the air.
One after another, low-grade spirit stones were neatly arranged in the boxes.
"Could it be 10,000 spirit stones per box?" Chu Mu secretly said. He did not count them one by one, but looked at them generally. It was almost 10,000 low-grade spirit stones per box. That was to say, 20 boxes would be 200,000 spirit stones.
Chu Mu opened each box and looked at it, then closed it again. Each box was full of low-grade spirit stones.
Then, he opened the small dark red box.
As expected, there were two thousand middle-grade spirit stones in the dark red box. However, the spiritual energy fluctuations they emitted were stronger than any box of low-grade spirit stones.
After all, the spirit in low-grade spirit stones could not be compared with mid-grade spirit stones in terms of quantity or purity.
200,000 low-grade spirit stones and 2,000 mid-grade spirit stones. This was definitely a big fortune, which made Chu Mu excited.
After a while, Chu Mu calmed down and checked the identity sword token. He found that the academic credits in the identity sword token had increased by five million, which made him even more happy.
Five million academic credits! He could exchange any mid-grade sword he wanted. Even if it was an upper-grade sword, he could exchange it.
Thinking of swords, Chu Mu immediately took out the best quality sword from the space bracelet.
The length of this top-grade sword belonged to a standard sword. The scabbard was made of some kind of wood and was dark red in color. It had an antique feel to it, and there were some dark golden metal patterns on it, which added a sense of mystery to it.
On one side of the scabbard, near the sword guard, there were two antique dark golden characters. There seemed to be stars twinkling on the dark golden characters.
Chu Mu looked carefully and found that the two characters with a unique charm were Broken Star.
"Profound Star Sword …" Chu Mu said to himself, "I can't feel any fluctuation of any system. Is it not a sword of any system?"
Thinking up to this point, Chu Mu's right hand gripped the sword hilt. Immediately, he felt an extremely good touch, as if this sword was made just for him. It was as if the patterns on the sword hilt perfectly matched the patterns on his palm, becoming a perfect combination.
From this point, it could be seen that the person who forged this Profound Star Sword had extremely high attainments in forging.
His right hand slightly exerted force, but the Profound Star Sword didn't move. Chu Mu's expression changed slightly. He couldn't help but use a lot of force, but the Profound Star Sword still didn't move. He was simply unable to pull it out.
After several attempts, even using Xiantian sword Qi, Chu Mu still couldn't pull out the Profound Star Sword. At most, he could only make the Profound Star Sword tremble slightly, as if he was about to pull it out but couldn't.
"It seems that my cultivation is still not enough." Chu Mu finally gave up. He looked at the Profound Star Sword and put it back into the space bracelet.
The higher the grade of a sword, the more powerful it was.
However, it didn't mean that the higher the grade of a sword, the better it was for him. The use of a sword was closely related to his sword Qi cultivation.
If his cultivation wasn't enough, it would be difficult to use a high grade sword, let alone increase his strength.
For example, a typical Qi Transformation Realm swordsman would normally use low-grade or mid-grade swords. However, there were some swordsmen who had cultivated to the Qi Transformation Realm who were more talented and had reached the Qi Transformation Realm who could use high-grade swords.
As for a high grade sword, there was no hope of using it in the Qi Transformation Stage.
It could be said that a high grade sword was a must have for a Qi Hai Sword Artist. Only a high grade sword could fully display the strength of a Qi Hai Sword Artist.
As for a high grade sword, it belonged to the Qi Hai Sword Artist and was relatively rare.
"Based on this situation, even if I raise my sword Qi cultivation to the Qi Transformation Stage Completion Stage and cultivate the Nine Transformations of Tian Yuan to the Ninth Transformations, I still wouldn't be able to use the Profound Star Sword normally." Chu Mu frowned and thought to himself, "However, if I can raise my sword Qi cultivation to the Qi Transformation Stage Completion Stage and cultivate the Nine Transformations of Tian Yuan to the Ninth Transformations, I might be able to use a high grade sword as a trump card."
However, to raise his sword Qi cultivation to the Qi Transformation Stage Completion Stage and cultivate the Nine Transformations of Tian Yuan to the Ninth Transformations was not an easy task. Perhaps when he cultivated the Nine Transformations of Tian Yuan to the Ninth Transformations, Chu Mu would break through to the Qi Hai Realm first.
Since he couldn't use the Profound Star Sword right now, Chu Mu could only hide it temporarily and take out two books.
"Broken Star Sword Art!" Chu Mu read out the name on one of the books word by word.
He then flipped it open and started reading.
The Broken Star Sword Art was undoubtedly an Ancient Sword Art. Moreover, it was an Earth Rank Ancient Sword Art. Ancient Sword Arts were divided into three ranks: Human, Earth, and Heaven. An Earth Rank Ancient Sword Art was undoubtedly many times more powerful than a Human Rank Ancient Sword Art. In terms of value, it was at least ten times or even a hundred times more valuable.
And this Broken Star Sword Art was one of the top Earth Rank Ancient Sword Arts, because it was clearly written in the book that one had to have eighty percent of the general conception as the foundation.
The so-called eighty percent of the general conception referred to eighty percent of the conception of wind or gold, and the lowest requirement for a Heaven Rank Ancient Sword Art was ninety percent of the general conception.
"There are no specific kinds of conception. That is to say, as long as one has eighty percent of the general conception, one can cultivate this Ancient Sword Art." Chu Mu's eyes lit up.
After half a year of learning, he knew how precious this Ancient Sword Art was. No matter what kind of conception one had, as long as one's comprehension of the conception reached the required level, one could cultivate it.
What was even rarer was that cultivating and activating this sword technique with different intents would have different effects on top of the original power.
The value of such an all-rounded Ancient Sword Art was five times higher than that of an Ancient Sword Art of the same level that required a specific conception to cultivate.
Chu Mu couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the Sword Mansion's generosity. Although he couldn't cultivate the Ancient Sword Art now, the rewards he received as the champion were still very amazing.
"Eh … this is … an Unconventional or Variant Conception. Depending on the level of the conception, the requirements will be relatively lower …"
The power of a Variant Conception had always been above the general conception, and also above some Unconventional Conceptions. For example, the Blood Conception was a variant of the Water Conception, and the Snow Conception was a variant of the Ice Conception.
Some Unconventional Conceptions, such as the Power Conception, Speed Conception, Light and Darkness Conception, would surpass the general conception by ten percent, and Variant Conceptions would surpass the general conception by at least five percent.
Just like the difference between thirty percent and thirty-five percent, it was very obvious to experts.
Most importantly, if it became the difference between thirty-five percent and forty percent, it would be very obvious.
There were some powerful Unconventional Concepts or Variant Concepts that could surpass the conventional Concepts by 10%, or even 20%. It wasn't impossible.
"I wonder what level the Gold Conception that Variant Conception belongs to?" Chu Mu thought to himself.
After twenty days, Chu Mu kept feeling that the Gold Conception's Variant Conception was about to appear, but it still hadn't appeared. As a result, Chu Mu couldn't use the Gold Conception, and he didn't know what kind of Variant Conception it was.
Putting away the 《Broken Star Sword Art》, Chu Mu looked at the other book 《Penetrating Force》.
This was a kind of force exertion technique. After reading it once, Chu Mu was a bit excited. Although the records in this 《Penetrating Force》 weren't very detailed, and there seemed to be some gaps in the middle, it still had a beginning and an end.
With Chu Mu's monstrous perception, he could calculate it completely and cultivate it successfully after spending some time.
In the end, there were only two kinds of rewards left.
There were twenty Mortal Yang Pills in total, which were said to be able to increase one's Sword Qi cultivation to the peak of its level. The other one was the Mind Refining Pill, which was said to be able to speed up one's comprehension of the Conception. The comprehension level was closely related to one's perception.
"I can take the Mortal Yang Pill now and directly increase my Sword Qi cultivation to the peak of Minor Completion, but the Mind Refining Pill …" After pondering for a while, Chu Mu decided, "I won't take the Mind Refining Pill for now. My Wind Conception has reached fifty-two percent, which is my first conception. It's not hard to comprehend it, so I don't need the Mind Refining Pill. My Cloud Conception has almost reached forty-one percent, but the most important thing is the Gold Conception's mutation."
Chu Mu was looking forward to the Gold Conception's mutation, so he decided to keep the Mind Refining Pill for now. After the Gold Conception's mutation was complete, he would use the Mind Refining Pill to increase the Gold Conception's mutation.
After making the decision, Chu Mu went to the fourth floor and sat down cross-legged. After clearing his mind, he poured out the Mortal Yang Pill from the gourd.
The Mortal Yang Pill was milky white and the size of a Longan Core. It emitted an intoxicating fragrance.
As soon as the Mortal Yang Pill entered his stomach, a rich Spirit Qi immediately spread out. Chu Mu immediately used the Nine Revolutions of Heaven Origin and quickly absorbed the pure Spirit Qi, turning it into Heaven Origin Sword Qi without any pressure.
One Mortal Yang Pill after another was thrown into Chu Mu's mouth and swallowed. Soon, ten out of the twenty Mortal Yang Pills were gone.
After Chu Mu absorbed the last Mortal Yang Pill, he stopped cultivating. His Xiantian Sword Qi cultivation had already reached the peak of Minor Completion of Qi Stage. Even if he continued to take Mortal Yang Pills, it wouldn't increase, unless he broke through to Qi Stage Dacheng.
Reaching the peak of Minor Completion of Qi Stage allowed Chu Mu's Xiantian Sword Qi to increase by thirty percent, making him even stronger. (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.)
