A bull-sized Wind-Winged Dragon lay in front of Chu Mu in the guest room with its wings folded.
Three days had passed. The Beastseal Pearl had imprinted Chu Mu's blood essence into the Wind-Winged Dragon's body. In the end, a blood-red flame mark was formed on the Wind-Winged Dragon's forehead.
A powerful demonic aura was constantly emitted from the Wind-Winged Dragon's body. Fortunately, Chu Mu had spread out his sword aura to prevent the Wind-Winged Dragon's demonic aura from leaking out. Otherwise, it would probably cause unnecessary chaos.
An adult Wind-Winged Dragon would become a mid-level super-rank demonic beast. Due to its innate talent, it was much stronger than ordinary mid-level super-rank demonic beasts. Right now, this Wind-Winged Dragon could only be considered to be in the growth stage. It was far from being mature. However, it already had the strength of a mid-level demonic beast. Its flying speed was 50% faster than ordinary mid-level demonic beasts.
There was only one way to make the Wind-Winged Dragon grow faster, and that was to consume demonic cores.
A large number of demonic cores. The higher the level, the better. This was because the higher the level of the demonic core, the purer and more abundant the demonic energy it contained. It was also more beneficial for the demonic beast's growth.
This time, Chu Mu let the Wind-Winged Dragon out to feed it demonic cores.
In the Chaos Demon Plains and Chaos Demon Mountain, Chu Mu had killed many demonic beasts. Most of them were mid-level demonic beasts. He had obtained more than 100 mid-level demonic cores.
Taking out a low-level mid-level demonic core, the Wind-Winged Dragon's eyes lit up. It opened its mouth and swallowed the demonic core. Then, it opened its mouth again.
After repeating this ten times, the Wind-Winged Dragon finally closed its mouth and eyes. It looked like it was sleeping. However, a powerful demonic energy was erupting from its body.
Chu Mu looked at it and put it back into the Beastseal Pearl.
Then, Chu Mu went to check on Ou Chengluo's cultivation progress.
With the support of hatred, Ou Chengluo's sword qi cultivation speed was several times faster than ordinary people. However, he had just broken through to the ninth stage of sword qi not long ago, so it was impossible for him to break through to the tenth stage so quickly. On the other hand, although his swordsmanship had not killed anyone, it carried a trace of fierce killing intent, which was very shocking.
It was obvious that if Ou Chengluo continued to cultivate with this mentality, he would become a terrifying god of death. Similarly, he would also destroy himself in the end.
However, all of this had nothing to do with Chu Mu. He had already said what he needed to say. Whether or not Ou Chengluo could comprehend it all depended on himself.
After completing the fifth chapter, the muscle chapter, Chu Mu began to practice the sixth chapter, the skin chapter.
He had to master the Sky Barren Sword Body as soon as possible. Only then would he be able to cultivate the Sky Barren Sword Scripture and master the Sky Barren Sword Qi, which would increase his strength further.
At that time, Chu Mu was sure that he had the qualifications to challenge the Sword Hero and would definitely be able to obtain this title.
The next day, as usual, he released the Wind-Winged Demon Dragon to check on the situation. Chu Mu immediately realized that the Wind-Winged Demon Dragon had already digested all ten demon cores, and its aura had also become stronger.
The demon cores of different demonic beasts contained different amounts of demonic energy. This was because when a demonic beast consumed a demon core to strengthen itself, it had to refine the demonic energy within the demon core and remove the impurities within, leaving only the purest part of the demonic energy that was useful to itself.
The pure demonic energy that each demon core could provide was not much, so if a demonic beast wanted to become stronger, it had to consume a lot of demon cores.
Chu Mu estimated that even if he gave all the demon cores he had to the Wind-Winged Demon Dragon to consume, it would still be difficult for the Wind-Winged Demon Dragon to reach the high middle stage. After all, low level demon cores were useless to middle stage demonic beasts.
It was conceivable that once the Wind-Winged Demon Dragon reached the high middle stage, the number of demon cores it would need to advance to the super middle stage would increase exponentially.
"What a money-grubber!" Chu Mu sucked in a breath of cold air. It was not easy to raise a flying mount like this. An ordinary swordsman would not be able to afford it even if they sold their entire family's fortune.
"Looks like I have to get more demon cores, preferably middle stage ones." Chu Mu frowned slightly and mumbled to himself. He then put the Wind-Winged Demon Beast back into the Beastseal Pearl.
There were two ways to obtain demon cores.
First, enter the Chaos Demon Mountains on the Chaos Demon Plains to hunt down middle stage demonic beasts to obtain demon cores. With Chu Mu's current strength, it was not difficult to hunt down middle stage demonic beasts. However, it would not be fast. Chu Mu had spent more than a month to hunt down more than a hundred middle stage demonic beasts.
Second, purchase demon cores with spiritual stones. He could buy them from swordsmen or shops. As long as he had enough spiritual stones, he would be able to obtain a large number of middle stage demon cores in a short time. The premise was that he had a large number of spiritual stones. Because of the Wind-Winged Demon Dragon, Chu Mu had almost used up all his spiritual stones. If it were not for the twenty low-silver spiritual stones cards he obtained from the Sword Pressure Wild Lion Gang, he would have become a pauper.
He had to earn more spiritual stones.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Chu Mu frowned slightly. He knew that it was a stranger who knocked on the door. His senses told him so.
"Who is it?" Chu Mu asked.
"Fu Tiesheng from the Red Coat Association." A deep voice came through the closed door like rolling thunder.
Chu Mu flicked out a wisp of sword aura, and the door bolt automatically opened. The door opened, and a large man wearing a red robe stood at the door. His body was tall and sturdy, and when he stepped into the room, he was like a fierce tiger. Chu Mu felt as if the entire room was shaking.
His aura, a powerful aura enveloped the whole room. The curtains did not move at all. Even the dust in the air seemed to be still.
This aura was extremely domineering. It contained a sword-like sharpness. It was as if it wanted to kill Chu Mu on the spot.
The table in front of Chu Mu creaked as if it was about to shatter. However, Chu Mu did not move. Even the chair he was sitting on did not move.
It was as if this pressure did not exist.
His eyelids trembled slightly. Chu Mu's eyes flashed with cold lightning. A dark golden light shot out from his pupils. It pierced through the air and went straight for the opponent.
In an instant, the heavy and domineering aura seemed to have been torn apart by the incomparably sharp sword aura. The red-clothed Fu Tiesheng's pupils contracted rapidly. He only felt that the dark golden aura was like a sharp sword piercing into his eyes, causing a piercing pain. He couldn't help but close his eyes.
Fu Tiesheng's expression changed. His domineering aura suddenly disappeared, and the air in the room returned to normal.
"Strong, very strong!" Fu Tiesheng shouted in his mind. The slight underestimation he had of Chu Mu disappeared.
Chu Mu's eyes were filled with light. Fu Tiesheng's sword Qi was at the peak of Dacheng's Qi Hai level. It was quite strong, but if Chu Mu wanted to kill him, it would be easy.
Fu Tiesheng also saw that Chu Mu's sword Qi was at the Low Qi Hai level. He was shocked and could not hide it. He looked like he was only in his twenties, but he had already reached the Low Qi Hai level. His gaze made Fu Tiesheng tremble. What kind of power could cultivate such a powerful young warrior?
The Demon Shaker City had its own rules. Outside forces were not allowed to interfere. Otherwise, all the forces in the city would fight back. There were many powerful warriors in the city, and they were very powerful.
However, unless it was absolutely necessary, the forces in the city did not want to provoke the powerful forces outside of the city. They did not want to cause unnecessary conflicts.
"I am here to negotiate." Fu Tiesheng walked to the table and pulled out a chair to sit down. He looked at Chu Mu and said in a deep voice.
His goal was to find Chu Mu and solve the problem between him and Chu Mu. As for how to solve the problem, he would adjust it according to Chu Mu's strength. If Chu Mu showed signs of difficulty under his aura, Fu Tiesheng would take the initiative and use his domineering attitude to force Chu Mu to submit.
Unfortunately, Chu Mu was not only able to withstand his aura, but even his gaze was terrifying. Fu Tiesheng had to change his original plan and use another one.
"I know the Ou family's grandfather and grandson are in your hands. As long as you hand them over to the Red Coat Association, all the problems between us will be solved. We will also give you appropriate compensation." Fu Tiesheng said slowly. His tone was neither servile nor overbearing as he looked at Chu Mu.
"They are dead." Chu Mu replied.
"Dead?" Fu Tiesheng did not react for a moment. His face was full of shock. After three breaths, he finally reacted and said, "Then I would like to ask you to hand over their bodies to me, including everything they have on them."
Chu Mu did not reply. He knew very well what the other party wanted. It was the piece of paper that recorded the Heaven Shaking Sword Forging Technique. Unfortunately, this piece of paper was already in Chu Mu's hands. There was no way he could take it out.
"The dead should be respected." Chu Mu replied.
The veins on Fu Tiesheng's forehead throbbed. He stared coldly at Chu Mu. His mind was spinning rapidly. He suddenly said, "Is that thing in your hands?"
"You don't have to answer." Without waiting for Chu Mu to say anything, Fu Tiesheng continued, "Since that thing is in your hands, I hope you can hand it over to us. I think that thing is not very useful to you. We can give you enough compensation. One million … "
"… mid-grade spirit stones!" Fu Tiesheng said the last four words forcefully.
One million mid-grade spirit stones!
This was equivalent to ten million low-grade spirit stones. Of course, in terms of practicality, it was better than ten million low-grade spirit stones.
Chu Mu's expression didn't change, but he was still surprised. This Red Coat Association truly wasn't small. The moment they opened their mouth, they offered a million middle rank spirit stones. They were indeed rather sincere.
Unfortunately, to Chu Mu, that piece of paper was the reward he promised Old Master Ou. He did not even study it himself. How could he trade it to the Red Coats Association?
"One million mid-grade spirit stones is indeed tempting, but I don't know what you are talking about." Chu Mu replied calmly. His tone was very firm.
"Since you are not willing to trade, you should be careful. Hiding in Windward Inn is the safest. Otherwise, once you leave the inn, it will be very chaotic outside. You may even lose your life if you are not careful." Fu Tiesheng stood up decisively, leaving behind a threatening sentence. He turned and walked out of the room. (To be continued.)
