The Tian Huang Sword was successfully forged, and it was even Chu Mu's favorite eight-faced Han Sword. This made Chu Mu feel joy from the bottom of his heart, and he even had a slight smile on his face.
However, when he saw the note on the shop's door, his face immediately turned gloomy. With a flick of his finger, the note instantly turned into dust.
"The Bao Sword House …" Chu Mu's murderous words seeped out from between his teeth. His face returned to its usual calm and cold state, and one could not tell if he was happy, angry, sad, or happy. Only the occasional flash of murderous intent in his eyes was like cold lightning.
He did not understand why the people from the Bao Sword House would kidnap his shop's waiter, Fang Liu. The only thing he was sure of was that the reason they kidnapped Fang Liu was to force him to show himself.
It was funny to say that he had been staying in the Bao Sword House all this time. Now, he had just left the Bao Sword House's room, and this kind of thing had already happened. What was the purpose of the other party forcing him to show himself? Chu Mu also did not understand.
Turning around, he strode towards the Bao Sword House. Not long after, Chu Mu arrived at the first floor of the Bao Sword House.
There were many people coming and going at the Bao Sword House. Therefore, even though Chu Mu had just left the Bao Sword House, no one recognized him.
"Where is Situ Feng?" Chu Mu directly asked the shopkeeper of the first floor of the Bao Sword House.
The Bao Sword House was the property of the Situ Family in the Tianfeng County. The Situ Family was a huge family, and although Chu Mu did not know much about them, he knew that the Situ Family had a long history and was not simple.
According to the note from before, if he wanted to find a waiter, he had to go to the Bao Sword House to find Young Master Situ Feng.
"Your surname is Chu?" The shopkeeper looked at Chu Mu and asked. Obviously, he had been briefed.
Chu Mu nodded. His cold expression made the shopkeeper on the first floor a little flustered. He quickly called for a waiter and asked him to take Chu Mu to find Young Master Situ.
On the fourth floor of the Bao Sword Tower, the waiter stopped at the stairs. With his status, he was not allowed to go up.
Chu Mu stood at the top of the stairs. He could feel a few powerful auras, all of which had reached the Origin Realm. Then, Chu Mu's sharp senses picked up a very weak aura that was somewhat familiar.
Walking up the stairs and appearing on the fourth floor of the Bao Sword Tower, a few gazes landed on Chu Mu. They were not surprised at all, instead, one of them even had a hint of ridicule and mockery.
Chu Mu swept his eyes over the fourth floor. There were a total of five people on the fourth floor. His waiter, Fang Liu, was among them. However, it was as if he had been immobilized and was sitting on a chair, not moving at all. Only his eyes were moving around, carrying a bit of anxiety.
Among the other four people, there was a young swordsman in white who was in his twenties. There were two middle-aged swordsmen who looked similar to each other in their forties. The last person was a woman in her twenties who was dressed like a maid.
Chu Mu recognized one of them. It was the Origin Realm swordsman who had caused trouble at his shop before. In the end, he gave away a bottle of Great Recovery Pellets. With Chu Mu's current eyesight, he could tell that the swordsman was at the Origin Realm, Dacheng.
Both sides didn't say anything as they sized each other up. Chu Mu was able to clearly see the cultivation of the four people. Other than the person he saw before who was at the late stage of the Origin Realm, the other middle-aged swordsman was at the peak stage of the Origin Realm, while the servant girl was at the initial stage of the Origin Realm. However, her aura was weak, clearly not due to her hard work. As for the white-clothed young man, he was at the initial stage of the Origin Realm, but his aura was very stable.
If the maid were to fight with the young man in white, the young man in white would be able to kill her within a few moves.
After all, the difference in foundation between the two was too great. One should have relied on external forces, while the other relied on his own hard work and the accumulation of abundant resources to cultivate. There was a fundamental difference between the two.
"Since Master Chu is here, please take a seat." The young man in white waved his hand and smiled. Then, he ordered the middle-aged swordsman beside him, "Go and release that guy."
"Yes, Master." The middle-aged swordsman in the Complete Origin Realm appeared in front of Fang Liu. He reached out his hand and tapped Fang Liu's body a dozen times. Fang Liu regained his ability to move.
Chu Mu could tell that it was a method to cut off meridians. It was somewhat similar to acupuncture points. It was indeed a good method to imprison someone with a lower cultivation.
"Master …" Fang Liu regained his ability to move. He immediately stood up and walked towards Chu Mu with a face full of shame.
"Don't feel burdened. Go back to the shop first." Chu Mu said.
"Okay." Fang Liu nodded. He knew that with his cultivation, he would not be of any use even if he stayed. He might even drag Master Chu down. Leaving was the best choice.
As soon as Fang Liu left, Chu Mu no longer had any worries.
"Master Situ, why are you looking for me?" Chu Mu's tone was very cold.
"Master Chu, you are unhappy because we used some tricks to find you." Situ Feng smiled. He had the confidence and calmness of someone who had everything under control. His tone was neither fast nor slow, "We have heard of Master Chu's reputation and have been looking for you for many days. Unfortunately, we have not been able to find you. Master Chu, as you can see, your waiter was not harmed at all. I believe Master Chu also understands my sincerity. "
His tone was somewhat haughty.
"Tell me why you are looking for me." Chu Mu was a little disgusted by his attitude.
"Master Chu, there is no need to rush." Situ Feng maintained his smile and said, "I am the second master of the Situ family. This time, I have been ordered to come to the Sword Treasure House in the Tianfeng County to make some achievements. Therefore, I need to recruit talents. I have seen Master Chu's supreme rank sword, and it is indeed a top-notch supreme rank sword. It is not inferior to the supreme rank swords made by some master swordsmiths. "
Chu Mu did not say anything, but he already understood the other party's meaning. They were trying to recruit him.
With a little guess, he could roughly guess what this Situ Feng meant. He was sent out by the family to gain experience, possibly to become the next Patriarch. Before that, he needed to make some achievements. Naturally, he would need the help of various talents.
"My Situ family has a history of more than five thousand years. We have a deep foundation and specialize in sword forging. In the whole family, there are many master swordsmiths. In the main family, there is even a master swordsmithing master." Situ Feng continued, "Master Chu is so young, yet he is able to forge top-notch supreme rank swords. In the future, becoming a master swordsman is not a problem. As long as Master Chu joins the Sword Treasure House and becomes a professional swordsmith, I, Situ Feng, guarantee that Master Chu will receive the treatment of a master swordsman. Moreover, Master Chu will have the right to read the swordsmithing experiences of master swordsmiths. In the future, if there is a chance, I also guarantee that Master Chu will receive guidance from a master swordsman. "
It had to be said that Situ Feng's offer was very generous.
If Chu Mu was only a true master swordsmith, and the kind of person who was determined to go further on the path of swordsmithing, he would definitely be very tempted. He would not hesitate to accept Situ Feng's offer.
A master would enjoy the treatment of a master swordsman. He would be able to read the swordsmithing experiences of a master swordsman, and even have the chance to receive guidance from a master swordsman.
Since ancient times, how many master swordsmiths were unable to become master swordsmiths? And how many master swordsmiths were unable to become master swordsmiths?
The path of swordsmithing was just like the path of the sword. Everyone wanted to reach the end, but not everyone could reach the end.
After Situ Feng finished speaking, he calmly stared at Chu Mu with a smile on his face. In his opinion, Chu Mu's acceptance was inevitable, and he would even be overjoyed.
The Sword Treasure House! As long as one was a swordsmith, who would not know about the Sword Treasure House? Unless one was from a remote corner of the world.
One had to know that many swordsmiths would break their heads to become a professional swordsmith of the Sword Treasure House. It was a kind of opportunity.
"If that's all you want to say, then I'm not interested." Chu Mu decisively rejected and stood up, "Don't bother me again. My time is very precious."
After he finished speaking, Chu Mu walked towards the stairs.
The smile on Situ Feng's face suddenly froze, and his face was filled with shock. The other three were the same. This was too different from what they had imagined, and they could not react for a while.
Seeing Chu Mu walk to the stairs, everyone finally reacted. The middle-aged Origin Realm swordsman named Dacheng suddenly snorted angrily. His body flashed and jumped in front of Chu Mu, blocking his path. The other middle-aged swordsman also stared at Chu Mu with a pair of clear eyes, one hand holding the hilt of his sword.
"You can't recruit me, so you want to force me?" Chu Mu was not afraid at all. Instead, he glanced at Situ Feng and said with a faint smile. His tone was filled with disdain.
Even if they really wanted to fight, he was not afraid at all. Perhaps he might not be a match for these people, but if Chu Mu really wanted to leave, they might not be able to stop him either. If they really pissed off Chu Mu, he could just release the Meteor Sword Yuan and kill them all.
"Let him go." Situ Feng frowned and waved his hand.
The Origin Realm Dacheng swordsman glanced at Chu Mu fiercely and unwillingly moved aside.
Chu Mu did not say a word. He withdrew his gaze and walked down the stairs. He walked to the first floor and left the Sword Treasure House.
"Master, why are you letting this person go?" The maid asked.
"I can't see through him." Situ Feng frowned again and said.
In his eyes, Chu Mu looked very strange. He could not see through him at all. Qi Hai Realm? No, Origin Realm? That's not true either.
Could it be the Ninth Transformation Realm?
This was because only ordinary people and Ninth Transformation realm swordsmen would not have any sword energy fluctuations. Ordinary people did not cultivate, so how could there be sword energy fluctuations? As for Ninth Transformation realm swordsmen, it was because all the sword energy was sealed within their bodies. As long as they did not use it, there would not be sword energy fluctuations.
This situation was very strange. Situ Feng also denied the idea that Chu Mu was a Ninth Transformation Realm swordsman. After all, which Ninth Transformation Realm swordsman would dare to appear in public like this?
After all, even with the Situ family's ability, they would not know about the ancient matters. (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.)
