As the main hall of the Hundred Saints Alliance and the center of the Central Sword Domain, the area within a thousand miles of the Hundred Saints Mountain was empty. There were no cities or towns, which showed the uniqueness of the Hundred Saints Mountain.
However, after the Hundred Saints Alliance decided to hold the Unparalleled Sword Sovereign Conference, they built four temporary gathering places at the foot of the Hundred Saints Mountain as temporary residences for swordsmen from all over the Ancient Sword Continent.
Otherwise, with so many Sword Sovereigns on the Ancient Sword Continent, some would arrive early while some would arrive later. Most of them would arrive before the Unparalleled Sword Sovereign Conference, so they could not have no place to stay.
The four temporary gathering places were very large, and they built wooden houses one after another. Although they were temporary, the Hundred Saints Alliance had put in a lot of effort, and the quality of the wooden houses was quite good.
Chu Mu, riding on Bawang, also arrived at the eastern gathering place. There was still a month before the Unparalleled Sword Sovereign Conference began.
"Friend, your mount is not bad. I like it very much. Name a price." When Chu Mu stepped into the gathering place with Bawang, several Sword Sovereigns stopped them. One of them stared at Bawang with a burning gaze, and then said to Chu Mu.
"Not for sale," Chu Mu replied indifferently.
"Friend, you have to think carefully. If you miss this opportunity, you won't get another one." The other person's expression turned cold, and his tone carried a hint of threat.
Chu Mu ignored him directly. It was meaningless to argue, but it seemed that he could not fight here. Looking at the swordsmen in standard armor standing not far away, it was obvious. They were the Hundred Saints Alliance's Sword Saint Guards. Now, in order to maintain the security of the temporary gathering place, they had the right to kill.
Once they fought, they would be captured by the Sword Saint Guards or even killed on the spot. No one was that stupid.
Chu Mu ignored them and continued to walk forward with Bawang. The Sword Sovereigns had to dodge, otherwise, it would not look good if they were hit by Bawang's huge body.
"Damn it." Sword Senior, who had been rejected and ignored by Chu Mu, had a gloomy expression. His eyes flashed coldly as he stared at Chu Mu's back.
"Second Brother, let's check the other party's identity first, then we can discuss." A Sword Venerable at the side said.
"Third Brother, this is what you're good at. I'll leave it to you. Dig out every single detail about him."
"No problem."
…
Chu Mu did not expect to provoke an enemy as soon as he arrived. However, there was nothing he could do about it. Bawang's appearance was very eye-catching, and the aura it emitted was very strong. Not only was it a good mount, it was also a good helper. Anyone who saw it would be tempted.
Along the way, there were over a hundred Sword Venerables who proposed to buy from Chu Mu, but they were all rejected by Chu Mu. However, they were all rejected by Chu Mu. Some of them would pester him a few times, and some would give up after being rejected. It was inevitable that some of them would harbor resentment in their hearts.
Among them, there was a guy who was unwilling to give up. He kept following Chu Mu, looking like he would never give up.
"Brother Chu, follow me. Let's register first, then we'll assign you a place to live." This guy was called Hua Buxie. He looked younger than Chu Mu, but it was unknown how old he was. He had a smile on his face, looking like an optimist. He always had a blade of grass in his mouth.
Hua Buxie was a very friendly person. At first, he wanted to buy from Bawang, but after being rejected by Chu Mu, he was not angry at all. Instead, he insisted on following Chu Mu. According to him, he wanted to cultivate a relationship with Bawang. Once their relationship was developed, he would naturally take Bawang away.
In this regard, Chu Mu felt helpless. Hua Buxie did not show any hostility. Instead, his friendly smile made people feel relaxed and happy.
The person in charge of the registration was naturally arranged by the Hundred Saints Alliance. After the registration, Chu Mu was given a wooden house. Coincidentally, it was right next to Hua Buxie's house, so they became neighbors.
"Brother Chu, why don't we go shopping in the market?" Hua Buxie said. He stared at Bawang and said, "Bring this big guy …"
As if he had thought of something interesting, Hua Buxie laughed.
Chu Mu had to bring Bawang along. Although it would cause a commotion, this was the Ancient Sword Continent. There were giant beasts hundreds of meters long, so the commotion would not be too big. Moreover, he did not dare to let Bawang stay here alone. If something happened, it would be troublesome.
A large number of Sword Venerables gathered, waiting for the start of the Unparalleled Sword Venerable Gathering. During this time, they cultivated, exchanged, and learned from each other. Some people also set up stalls to sell or exchange the treasures that they had obtained but could not use.
There was not much time left. They tried their best to find ways to increase their strength in the shortest time possible.
After all, they were people of status. They could not shout like peddlers. The Sword Venerables who set up stalls only placed the treasures they wanted to sell or exchange on a table in front of them. There was a sign beside the table that clearly stated whether the treasures were for sale or exchange.
Some Sword Venerables were even more direct. They wrote the detailed price of the treasures they wanted to sell or specified the types of treasures they wanted to exchange.
Chu Mu did not care. He and Hua Buxie wandered around the temporary market. When they walked past the stalls, they glanced at the signs and then looked at the treasures on the stalls.
Chu Mu was enlightened. He walked toward a stall.
There were not many treasures on the stall, but they were arranged neatly. There were elixirs, ores, and a few pieces of jade of different shapes.
Chu Mu recognized that the pieces of jade were precious gems that recorded secret techniques. They were similar to the ones he found on the fourth level of the Ancient Sword Tomb.
"Brother Chu, is there something you want?" Hua Buxie asked.
"Let's take a look," Chu Mu said, relying on his intuition.
Chu Mu's intuition told him that there was a treasure suitable for him in this stall. He was just not sure which one it was.
The owner of the stall, the Sword Venerable, was a middle-aged man with dark and rough skin. His cheeks were dry and his face was weathered. His eyes were closed and he seemed to be resting. However, his spiritual consciousness was paying attention to everything in the outside world. If there was any movement that was not beneficial to him, he would react.
Chu Mu's gaze shifted from the stall to the owner. His sharp senses told him that the owner's muscles tensed up for a moment. Then, Chu Mu relaxed. He seemed to know that there was no fatal danger here.
"This is a master who has been walking on the edge of danger all year round," Chu Mu said to himself.
Although the owner had concealed his aura and it was difficult to detect, Chu Mu could still sense a dangerous aura coming from him. This was definitely the aura of a master who had been through countless battles of life and death. Even if he was not as strong as his opponent, he could still kill his opponent. He was a strong enemy.
His gaze returned to the stall and locked onto the few pieces of jade. Chu Mu's intuition told him that the treasure that was useful to him was among those pieces of jade.
He closed his eyes and released his spiritual consciousness to cover the few pieces of jade. He carefully identified them according to his intuition.
Hua Buxie looked at Chu Mu. He was unusually quiet and did not disturb him. Bawang also stood quietly at the side.
"I want this piece of jade," Chu Mu pointed at one of the pieces of jade and said to the stall owner.
"Ten million pieces of supreme spiritual stones," the stall owner said without opening his eyes.
"Ten million …" Hua Buxie's eyes bulged.
Chu Mu frowned slightly. Ten million pieces of supreme spiritual stones for a piece of jade that he did not know what kind of skill it contained. To be honest, it was a little too much. If the skill inside was ordinary, it would be a waste.
After thinking for a while, Chu Mu decided to trust his intuition.
Taking out ten million top quality spirit stones was quite a lot. There was no way he could fit them all. Fortunately, Chu Mu had already exchanged most of the top quality spirit stones for the corresponding spirit stone cards.
After paying the stall owner, Chu Mu took the piece of jade away.
"I'll go back first," Chu Mu said to Hua Buxie.
"There's nothing much to see. I'll go back too," Hua Buxie said.
The wooden house was big, but Bawang was not small. He could not walk into the wooden house. He could only wait outside and guard the door.
Hua Buxie, on the other hand, was murmuring to Ba Wang. He was trying to build a relationship with Ba Wang, but Ba Wang ignored him completely.
Inside the wooden house, Chu Mu took out the piece of jade that he had bought for ten million pieces of supreme spiritual stones. He looked at it for a while, and his mind power spread out and wrapped around the jade. Then, his mind power began to seep into the jade.
After ten breaths, his mind power successfully entered the jade. A piece of information came into contact with Chu Mu's mind and entered Chu Mu's mind.
The amount of information was not small. It took about half an hour for Chu Mu to finish receiving it.
"Truly a pillow sent to me when I was sleepy." Chu Mu looked at the shattered Precious Jade in his hand and his eyes flickered with a bright light as he silently spoke.
He was worried about how to deal with Bawang. He was so big, and he was not a demonic beast. He could not be sealed in the Beast Sealing Pearl. If he was alone, he might be targeted by other swordsmen. It would be troublesome.
Now, the cultivation method that he had obtained from the jade was enough to solve this problem.
The Ancient Beast-taming Skill!
The so-called Beast-taming Skill was a secret method for taming demonic beasts. It was rare and precious. However, the Ancient Beast-taming Skill that Chu Mu had obtained was more precious than the Ancient Beast-taming Skill.
Chu Mu had always trusted his intuition. This time, he still trusted it. It did not disappoint him. His intuition had brought him great benefits.
Although he hadn't started cultivating it yet, just from the description of the Ancient Beast Taming Technique, Chu Mu knew that the Ancient Beast Taming Technique's value wasn't normal. If the stall owner knew, he might regret it.
Ten million pieces of supreme spiritual stones was a big loss.
Fortunately, this kind of jade was very special. It could only be passed on once. Once the mind power seeped into it, the jade would automatically shatter after the information was passed on.
Therefore, no one knew what kind of cultivation method was stored in this kind of jade. Otherwise, Chu Mu would not be able to obtain it. Even if he was fated to encounter it, he might have to pay a higher price to obtain it. He might even expose some of his trump cards that he was not willing to reveal. (To be continued.
