After spending twenty days, Chu Mu had trained the Gold Piercing Sword Finger to Dacheng level. He had also successfully integrated the Rock Shaking Wave Sword and the Space Splitting Sword Strike into one percent of his sword force. Adding on the fact that the Rock Shaking Force had reached Dacheng level, the power of these two sword skills had increased by three times, making them extremely terrifying.
Until now, Chu Mu had a feeling that the sword skills he created himself were the most suitable for him. Those ancient sword skills were just a way for sword practitioners to learn.
Of course, for sword practitioners with average talent who couldn't create their own sword skills, the ancient sword skills were a very good way to attack. But for sword practitioners with outstanding talent, the ancient sword skills were just a guide and a starting point.
A true sword practitioner should have his own sword skills. Only then would he be able to fully utilize his own strengths and have the opportunity to walk on the path of the sword. Otherwise, if one were to always practice the ancient sword skills left behind by their predecessors and follow the footsteps of their predecessors, they would never be able to surpass the limits of their predecessors.
It was as if he was trapped in a cage, unable to break free.
Throughout history, which swordsman who could leave their names in the annals of history did not break out of their shackles and walk on their own path of the sword before finally becoming famous.
Chu Mu was now walking on this path.
Until now, Chu Mu's strength had increased again. He estimated that a normal Qi Hai sword practitioner wouldn't be able to block one of his attacks. Even if they weren't at the level of a Sword Master, the difference wouldn't be too big.
"To reach the level of Dacheng with sword Qi is not something that can be done in a day. Now that I have completed the Nine Transformations of Sky Origin, the next step is to cultivate it to perfection and purify my sword Qi. Unless I change to a higher level sword Qi, it will be extremely difficult to break through." Chu Mu stood in front of the window in the room, looking at the bustling street outside with his hands behind his back. He said to himself, "I can't make a breakthrough in my sword Qi cultivation in a short period of time. If I want to continue improving my strength, I have to start from the root. My sword force has just reached perfection, so there's still room for improvement. I can also continue to deepen my comprehension of the concept. The other thing is to cultivate the Heavenly Desolate Sword Physique. "
The Desolate Sky Sword Physique had seven chapters. Chu Mu had skipped the blood chapter and was now cultivating the fifth chapter, the muscle chapter.
Muscles covered his entire body, covering an extremely large area. Refining the Heavenly Desolate Transformation wasn't a simple matter. Chu Mu had been training for two months now, but he still hadn't finished it. However, according to his progress, within ten days, he should be able to finish the muscle section.
Originally, there were still 15 Ancient Heavenly Desolate Pills left, but he had also used up a large amount of them. He estimated that after completing the muscle chapter, he would use up 10 Ancient Heavenly Desolate Pills, leaving him with only 5 left.
Using five pellets to cultivate the skin of the sixth volume and the hair of the seventh volume was probably not enough.
Fortunately, when he left the Desolate City, he had ordered a large amount of Heavenly Desolate Pills from the Heavenly Pill Pavilion. When the time came, he would go to the Desolate City to buy more Heavenly Desolate Pills, and he should be able to cultivate the Heavenly Desolate Sword Physique. Once the Heavenly Desolate Sword Physique was completed, he would be able to cultivate the Heavenly Desolate Sword Qi in the second volume of the Heavenly Desolate Sword Record.
"I should use a flying demonic beast as a means of transportation." Chu Mu suddenly had this idea.
Previously, he rode the Red Crowned Crane from the Great Kun Sword Mansion to the Desolate Border. When he returned to the Chu Family, he also rode the Red Crowned Crane. If he were to walk, it would take a lot of time.
Although walking was also a kind of cultivation, sometimes he was in a hurry and wished he could go as fast as possible.
"I have a mid-grade Beast Sealing Pearl, so I should be able to seal a mid-grade flying demonic beast." Chu Mu said.
The Red Crowned Crane was only a low-grade flying demonic beast. If it was a mid-grade flying demonic beast, its flying speed would be at least two or three times faster, and it would be the best means of transportation.
He didn't think of sealing a demonic beast to fight for him. There was no need for that.
After standing in front of the window for a while, Chu Mu turned and walked to the door. After opening it, he went downstairs.
First, he went to the counter and paid 500 low-grade spirit stones. He could stay for five more days. Even if he only stayed for three or four days, he could still return some spirit stones.
The first floor of the Windward Inn was still full. Chu Mu strode out of the inn. He had already asked the inn's waiter where he could buy demonic cores in the city.
There were a few shops in the city that bought demonic cores, but the biggest one was the Yang Family's shop. Their prices were also the most reasonable.
Not long after, Chu Mu followed the flow of people and arrived outside a huge shop. The shop's signboard had the words "Yang Ji" written in vermillion. It was very eye-catching and left a deep impression on people.
When Chu Mu walked into the Yang Ji Shop, a shrewd-looking waiter immediately ran over and greeted him warmly.
"Sir, what would you like to order?" The waiter didn't look very old, about 14 or 15 years old. His cultivation was only at the sixth stage of the Sword Qi Realm. With such strength, it was impossible for him to hunt in the Demon Chaos Plains. He could only be a waiter in this shop. "We have all kinds of elixirs, swords, demonic cores, and all kinds of treasures here."
Chu Mu was here to sell demonic cores, but when he heard the waiter's words, he had an idea and asked casually, "Oh, do you sell flying demonic beasts here?"
According to his understanding, the Yang Family's shop was a very big shop that sold all kinds of things. Logically speaking, they should also sell demonic beasts. However, whether they did or not, Chu Mu didn't know. He just asked to try his luck.
"Sir, you have come to the right place. In the entire Demon Shaking City, only our Yang Ji Shop sells demonic beasts. Not only do we have demonic beasts that run on the ground, we also have demonic beasts that swim in the water and fly in the sky." The waiter's mouth could run a train.
"Take me to have a look." Chu Mu's eyes lit up. He temporarily put aside the matter of selling demonic cores.
"Sir, please come with me." The waiter was also very happy. The price of demonic beasts wasn't cheap. Once they were sold, he would also get a commission and earn a lot of spirit stones.
Demonic beasts wouldn't be placed in the shop's hall. The waiter led Chu Mu inside. Not long after, they arrived at a more spacious place. There were huge iron cages on both sides. Some of the cages were empty, while others had demonic beasts inside.
These demonic beasts were basically low-level demonic beasts. Moreover, each of them had a lazy look, lying down weakly. When Chu Mu and the waiter walked past, they didn't even bother to lift their eyelids.
In addition to Chu Mu, there were some other people here looking at the demonic beasts, but there weren't many.
"Sir, they have all been fed some medicinal powder. This powder will temporarily make them weak." The waiter explained. Chu Mu nodded. Otherwise, the demonic beasts would be very noisy. Not to mention, it would be difficult to trap these demonic beasts in these iron cages.
"Sir, please take a look." The waiter continued.
"Are there any mid-level flying demonic beasts? The higher the grade, the better." Chu Mu glanced around and didn't find any mid-level flying demonic beasts.
"Mid-level flying demonic beasts!" The waiter was suddenly surprised. Flying demonic beasts were relatively rare because it was very difficult to catch them alive. High grade flying demonic beasts were even more difficult. After thinking about it, the waiter's eyes lit up. "Ten days ago, a mid-level flying demonic beast was delivered. I don't know what grade it is. Sir, please come with me to take a look."
Chu Mu followed the waiter and walked inside. Then, they stopped in front of a row of huge iron cages. Most of the iron cages were empty. They stopped in front of a huge iron cage.
There was already a group of people who had arrived earlier than Chu Mu. One of them was from Yang Ji, and three of them were wearing red robes. They were from the Red Dress Association. They were discussing the price of the flying demonic beast in the iron cage.
"Once this Wind-Winged Demonic Dragon reaches adulthood, it will be a mid-level transcendent rank demonic beast. Moreover, it is born with the ability to control the power of the wind element. Its flying speed is fifty percent faster than other demonic beasts of the same level. It is an excellent helper for both traveling and assisting in battles. Five million low-grade spirit stones is definitely worth it." The man from Yang Ji said.
"You are right, but this Wind-Winged Demonic Dragon is only a mid-level mid-level demonic beast. It will take a long time to reach mid-level transcendent rank. Even if we want to increase its grade in a short time, we will need to consume a lot of demonic cores. Therefore, five million low-grade spirit stones is too much. Three million." The swordsman from the Red Dress Association immediately retorted.
"If that is the case, then we cannot come to an agreement." The man from Yang Ji shook his head and looked at Chu Mu. There was a hint of worry in his eyes. He asked casually, "Are you here to buy a demonic beast as well?"
"Manager Yang, this customer wants to buy a mid-level flying demonic beast. The higher the grade, the better." The waiter who had brought Chu Mu in immediately said.
"A mid-level flying demonic beast. Currently, Yang Ji only has this Wind-Winged Demonic Dragon. Five million low-grade spirit stones. No bargaining." The man from Yang Ji said straightforwardly. He did not care if the price would scare Chu Mu.
The three swordsmen from the Red Dress Association did not say anything. Instead, they looked at Chu Mu and sneered. No matter how they looked at it, they did not think Chu Mu was the kind of person who could take out five million low-grade spirit stones in one go.
"Five million …" Chu Mu frowned slightly. The price was indeed very high. Until now, he had never taken out so many spirit stones in one go. But after thinking about it carefully, five million low-grade spirit stones to buy a mid-level flying demonic beast that could grow to the Super Level was indeed a good deal.
Killing a demonic beast and capturing one alive were two different concepts.
To kill a mid-level flying demonic beast, perhaps one Qi Hai swordsman could do it. But to capture a mid-level flying demonic beast alive, even two Qi Hai swordsmen might not be able to do it. At least three to five Qi Hai swordsmen would be the safest choice.
One reason was the difficulty of capturing a demonic beast alive. The other reason was the value of the demonic beast itself. Flying demonic beasts were definitely more valuable than normal demonic beasts. Because it was harder to capture and more useful, not to mention a flying demonic beast like the Wind-Winged Demonic Dragon that was both fast and powerful.
But Chu Mu did not have five million low-grade spirit stones right now. After thinking for a while, Chu Mu said, "Five million is not a problem. But, I can't take out so many low-grade spirit stones in one go. Can I use other things as collateral?"
As soon as Chu Mu said this, the three swordsmen from the Red Dress Association widened their eyes and stared at Chu Mu in shock. They thought they were hallucinating. The man from Yang Ji was also stunned. He quickly smiled and nodded, "Of course, of course, of course you can use it as collateral."
