Chu Dang Xiong left the secret room and sat on a chair in his bedroom. He subconsciously pinched his left wrist with his right hand through his sleeves. Feeling the item on his wrist, he seemed to be in a daze.
If the Transcendent Sword Art, Profound Level Low-Grade Sword Qi Art, and Low-Grade Sword Artifact had already shocked Chu Dang Xiong, but it was still within his acceptable range. Then 50,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones had completely exceeded the limit of his imagination.
And the last Low-Grade Spatial Bracelet had completely exhausted Chu Dang Xiong's imagination, and his brain had almost short-circuited and turned into an idiot.
As the old master of the Chu Family, the only Qi Transformation Realm expert, he had also wandered outside when he was young. In addition to the few words left behind by his ancestors, Chu Dang Xiong's knowledge was not limited.
Thus, he had also heard of treasures like the Spatial Bracelet, but he had never seen it before.
After a long time, Chu Dang Xiong gradually calmed down.
"No matter what, we cannot let others know that the Chu Family has these things. Otherwise, it would not be a blessing for the Chu Family, but a disaster for the Chu Family." Chu Dang Xiong loosened his right hand and said.
He even thought of putting away this Low-Grade Spatial Bracelet and placing it in the secret room as one of the Chu Family's heirlooms. Otherwise, if someone saw it on his hand one day, it would be terrible.
This thought flashed through his mind, and Chu Dang Xiong could not help but laugh at himself for being foolish.
Kaiyang City was located in a remote area, and resources were relatively scarce, so there were very few outsiders. Even if there were, they would only be ordinary small merchants. These kinds of people would not recognize the Spatial Bracelet at all.
If Chu Mu had not said it himself, Chu Dang Xiong would not have thought that this ordinary looking Black Iron Bracelet was the priceless Spatial Bracelet.
So, as long as he modified the Spatial Bracelet's appearance, making it look more like a bracelet, as long as he was careful, there would not be any problems.
Thinking of this, Chu Dang Xiong could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He had actually forgotten himself so much.
Next, Chu Dang Xiong thought about the arrangement of the fifty thousand low grade spirit stones. He was not a miser, and all of this was to be used to help the Chu family develop and strengthen, and to be used reasonably.
Chu Mu stayed in the secret chamber and opened the Wind Scroll again.
This was the third time that Chu Mu had opened the Wind Scroll. As soon as it was opened, a gust of wind blew out from the Wind Scroll and directly blew past Chu Mu's body. In an instant, Chu Mu felt as if he was once again in the sea of wind.
A cyan sword condensed and slashed down. Chu Mu could not dodge, nor did he want to.
…
"Father, the Old Master of the Lin Clan and Lin Feihu want to see you." Chu Xingkong's voice came from outside the bedroom.
"Old Ghost Lin came personally …" Chu Dangxiong was a little surprised, "Alright, I got it. You go and entertain them first, I'll be there soon."
"Okay," Chu Xingkong said and left.
Chu Dangxiong got up and opened the secret room again. When he walked in, Chu Mu had already obtained the secret to the Wind Phase secret technique from the Wind Scroll.
"How is it? Did you get anything? "Chu Dangxiong immediately asked.
"Yes, grandfather. The Aspect of Wind is not a Super Level Sword Skill, but a secret technique to increase one's strength …" Chu Mu explained the Aspect of Wind. Only then did Chu Dangxiong understand. Unfortunately, the secret technique of the Aspect of Wind required the inheritance of the Wind Scroll. Otherwise, even if one knew the secret technique, they would not be able to use it.
This was because they lacked a guiding condition, and that condition was the inheritance of the Wind Scroll.
This was something that could not be helped. He could only say that if he found other secret techniques in the future, he would give it to the Chu Family.
"Let's go out now. Old Ghost Lin came personally. It seems that the destruction of the Wang Family this time has scared the Lin Clan out of their wits." Chu Dangxiong quickly threw the regret of not being able to obtain the secret technique of the Aspect of Wind to the back of his mind. After all, he had obtained so many good things. What was there to be dissatisfied with?
"Okay." Chu Mu smiled.
In the main hall of the Chu Family, Chu Xingkong and the two elders of the Chu Family were present. There were also two other people. One of them was Lin Feihu, and the other was an old man in his fifties. He looked similar to Lin Feihu. He should be Lin Feihu's father, the Old Ghost Lin that Chu Dangxiong mentioned.
"Old Ghost Lin, you're really willing to leave your nest." Chu Dangxiong walked into the main hall and said with a smile.
This was because the Old Master of the Lin Clan was a person who rarely went out. He had been like this since he was young. He could even be called an old man from another world.
"If I don't go out this time, I'm afraid that our Lin Clan will not be able to protect itself." The Old Master of the Lin Clan bitterly smiled and said.
"It's not that serious." Chu Dangxiong naturally knew what the Old Master of the Lin Clan meant. He could not help but smile and sit on the main seat. As for Chu Mu, he sat on the side without saying a word.
But the Old Master of the Lin Clan and Lin Feihu still looked at Chu Mu with deep respect in their eyes.
Especially Lin Feihu. He had personally seen Chu Mu descend from the sky and defeat Wang Long with a sword. The shock in his heart was even deeper.
"I really envy your Chu Clan." The Old Master of the Lin Clan sighed.
"Haha, I like hearing that." Chu Dangxiong laughed. The others did not speak because they were not qualified.
"Now that the Wang Clan is gone, Kaiyang City will belong to the Chu Clan in the future." The Old Master of the Lin Clan said again.
"Isn't there still your Lin Clan?" Chu Dangxiong said. The Old Master of the Lin Clan and Lin Feihu's faces turned pale. As expected, the Chu Clan was still planning to make a move on the Lin Clan.
"Brother Chu, let's not beat around the bush. This time, Feihu and I are here. I'm sure you understand." The Old Master of the Lin Clan decided to speak openly to avoid wasting time beating around the bush.
"Alright, go ahead." Chu Dangxiong also put away the smile on his face and said seriously.
"Now that the Wang Clan is gone, the Chu Clan will become stronger. In the future, Kaiyang City will belong to the Chu Clan." The Old Master of the Lin Clan said, "Our Lin Clan has been passed down for generations. We don't want it to end just like that. That's why we first expressed our goodwill to the Chu Clan and then to the Wang Clan."
Regarding this, Chu Dangxiong did not look down on them at all. As the leader of the Lin Clan, he was very clear about this kind of thinking.
To give the order for the Lin Clan to fight with the Wang Clan was also an extremely difficult struggle. On the other hand, if it was for the continuation of the Lin Clan, submitting was unavoidable.
Comparing the Chu Clan and the Lin Clan, the Chu Clan was more unyielding and full of blood, while the Lin Clan was more tactful and would compromise. Generally speaking, it was a way of survival. It was neither good nor bad.
"Now, I will personally come out and submit to the Chu Clan. In the future, the Chu Clan will be the leader." The Old Master of the Lin Clan said in the end, as if he had used up the last bit of strength in his body to express his determination.
"In order to express our sincerity, we will specially present the Lin Clan's heirloom." Lin Feihu stood up and took out a rectangular jade box from his bosom.
After an elder of the Chu Clan received the jade box, he carried it over to Chu Dangxiong and handed it over to him. Chu Dangxiong looked at the jade box a few times, then looked at Lin Feihu and the Old Master of the Lin Clan. Without saying anything, he took the jade box.
It was very normal for the Lin Clan to have a heirloom. It was just like how the Chu Clan also had one, and so did the Wang Clan. There was nothing strange about it.
Heirlooms were usually the symbol of a clan. Now that the Lin Clan had handed over their heirloom, the meaning was very deep. It directly expressed that the Lin Clan was truly dependent on the Chu Clan and that the Chu Clan was the leader. It was not just a verbal agreement like before.
As for whether or not the thing in the jade box was the Lin Clan's heirloom, there was no need for that. Unless the Lin Clan was truly going to completely disappear.
A family could compromise for the sake of survival, but if they were to lie about their family heirloom, their reputation would be completely tarnished. If their reputation was tarnished, even if they were still alive, what was the difference between them and being dead in the eyes of others?
"Alright, since that's the case, then I will also express the Chu Clan's attitude. The Lin Clan will be the Chu Clan's ally in the future," Chu Dangxiong said. Saying that they were allies was to give the Lin Clan face. However, the Lin Clan knew that they had now become the Chu Clan's vassals.
Lin Feihu and the Old Master of the Lin Clan were also rather gratified. After all, the Wang Clan had directly asked them to submit and rely on them, and they had exploited them in all sorts of ways. But now, the Chu Clan was saying that they were allies. They were giving them face.
Following that, it could be considered a pleasant conversation between the host and the guest. After the Old Master of the Lin Clan and Lin Feihu finished their matters, they felt much more relaxed.
… …
"Chu Mu, come and take a look. What's so special about the Lin Clan's heirloom?" In Chu Dangxiong's bedroom, Chu Dangxiong handed the jade box to Chu Mu.
He had studied it for a while, but he still couldn't figure it out. When Chu Mu came, he handed it to Chu Mu to take a look.
The jade box was as long as a palm, three fingers wide, and two fingers tall. There were some patterns on it, and it felt good to the touch. It was very warm in the winter and cool in the summer. When held in the hand, it seemed to be able to help people calm their mind. It was clearly made of jade essence.
Just the value of this jade box was extraordinary. It was at least ten thousand gold taels to buy it. Then, how precious was the item that was contained in this jade box?
Chu Mu opened the jade box with a trace of curiosity. Inside the jade box, there was a small sword that was half a finger long and as thick as a middle finger.
This small sword was dark red in color. The dark red color didn't seem to be dyed. It was more like the material used to forge this small sword was a dark red material.
Interestingly, the small sword didn't have a sword guard or a sword hilt. It only had a sword body.
Chu Mu picked up the small sword with his fingers. He found that the small sword's weight was unexpected. It was at least four or five pounds. Clearly, the material used to make it was extraordinary.
With Chu Mu's half a year of cramming in all kinds of knowledge and the Sword Observation Technique, he couldn't tell what material this strange small sword was made of.
However, Chu Mu felt that this small sword wasn't simple. It was just that he couldn't tell what kind of secret it contained.
He looked at it carefully and found that there seemed to be carvings on one side of the small sword. After carefully observing it from different angles, he finally determined that it was two ancient characters and not the current popular characters. Thus, Chu Mu didn't know what the two characters were.
"It seems that I can only ask the Lin Clan." Chu Dangxiong sighed. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
