For five consecutive days, Chu Mu came to the Puzzle Solving Hall early in the morning and left late at night. He continued to solve the doubts of others.
There were more than thirty thousand outer palace disciples in the Heaven Wasteland Palace. Everyone had their own questions about cultivation. However, some of them would think about it themselves or exchange pointers with disciples they were on good terms with in order to achieve a breakthrough. Only a few of them would come to the Puzzle Solving Hall and pay the corresponding contribution points to have their doubts solved.
Swordsmen who dared to go to the Puzzle Solving Hall as a Puzzle Solving Hall usually had some skills. Otherwise, they would just be a joke.
But even so, not all questions could be solved. Simple questions were easy, but deeper questions were extremely difficult to solve.
Chu Mu made a name for himself on the second day, and the number of people who came increased because of his reputation.
The cultivation questions of a swordsman were nothing more than mental cultivation methods, movement techniques, swordsmanship, and so on. They were all restricted to the Origin Realm. These were easy for Chu Mu. Therefore, when others raised their questions, Chu Mu's mind would form a clear and systematic picture, and then he would come up with a corresponding solution.
Today was Chu Mu's fifth day in the Puzzle Solving Hall. In front of Chu Mu, there was a long queue of at least thirty people. Compared to the queue in front of other Puzzle Solvers, there were at least twice as many people. It was enviable.
Chu Mu also realized that Puzzle Solving Hall was actually a very beneficial thing for him.
Other than earning contribution points, Puzzle Solving Hall could also help him find out about other people's cultivation questions. Some of these questions were ones he had encountered before, while others were ones he had never encountered before. Putting himself in their shoes, he felt as if he had experienced it once. A feeling of enlightenment filled his heart, and his horizons were broadened.
Some simple questions were nothing, but some more difficult questions also deepened Chu Mu's understanding of swordsmanship.
The combination of sword forms, the combination of sword techniques, and so on. In five days, Chu Mu felt that his mastery of the Heaven Wasteland Sword Technique had deepened.
Today, some observant people did some calculations and discovered that Chu Mu had earned over a thousand contribution points in a short five days. On average, he earned over two hundred contribution points a day. Such a profit was very shocking, and it made other puzzle-solvers jealous from the bottom of their hearts.
At this moment, the three Solvers looked at each other and exchanged a few words with their sword auras. They actually gave up on answering the questions of the swordsmen and walked towards Chu Mu at the same time.
"This Junior Brother is indeed extraordinary. You can solve any problem. Coincidentally, I also have a question that I haven't been able to solve. Please enlighten me, Junior Brother," one of the three said to Chu Mu.
"What's the problem? Line up first." Chu Mu said faintly. He instinctively felt that this person did not come with good intentions, as if he was here to cause trouble. However, Chu Mu was not afraid.
"Line up!" The three of them were stunned. They looked at the line and saw that there were at least thirty people left. It would take a while before it was their turn.
"Junior Brothers, do you mind if I cut the queue?" One of the three Solvers who wanted to cause trouble glanced over and said to the thirty swordsmen in line.
"We don't mind. Senior Brother, please." They did not mind, but they did not dare to offend the other party.
The one who wanted to cause trouble stood in front of Chu Mu and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, can you solve any question you have?" He wanted to set a trap for Chu Mu.
"Tell me your question." Chu Mu did not answer. Instead, he said directly.
"My question is related to alchemy. If Junior Brother does not know alchemy, please tell me so that I don't have to waste my breath."
"If you don't want to tell me, go away. I still have to answer other people's questions," Chu Mu said faintly.
"Okay, then I'll tell you." The Solver was so angry that he laughed. "When I was refining an eighth-grade pill …"
In the world of swordsmen, refining pills, forging swords, and sealing were different from swordsmanship. Only a very small number of people would cultivate them. Most of them would not have high attainments.
Very quickly, he told Chu Mu the problem of concocting an eighth rank pill. Then, he smiled coldly and looked at Chu Mu proudly.
"Fifty contribution points," Chu Mu said after thinking for a while.
"What? Fifty contribution points? "The Solver was shocked.
"That's right." Chu Mu said, "If you are willing, I will answer your question. If you are not, go away."
"Okay, I can give you fifty contribution points. But if your answer does not satisfy me, you will know the consequences." The Solver gritted his teeth and sneered.
Chu Mu directly used his sword qi to explain to the Solver's question.
The Solver's expression kept changing. Some were surprised, some were in deep thought, and some were suddenly enlightened. There were many changes and it was very complicated.
"Okay, I'll give you fifty contribution points. After I go back, I will try according to your method. If it doesn't work, not only will you have to pay me back fifty contribution points, but you will also have to compensate me." The Solver gritted his teeth and paid fifty contribution points. Sometimes, this was his daily income.
Chu Mu did not even look at the Solver. His answer was very correct. If there was trouble after this, it was definitely the Solver's fault. But with the ability, Chu Mu was not afraid at all.
"It's my turn. I also have a question that has been bothering me for a long time. Junior Brother, please answer my question." The second Solver quickly walked up and said to Chu Mu.
"Speak," Chu Mu said.
"My question is not about swordsmanship or alchemy. It is related to sword-forging." As soon as the Solver spoke, there was a burst of boos and all kinds of whispers.
They also understood that these three had come to provoke him out of jealousy.
To Chu Mu, this was free contribution points. It would be a waste not to take them.
"Speak," Chu Mu said for the second time.
"My question is …" The Solver began to explain his doubts about sword-forging. Chu Mu didn't find it profound, but to the others, it was completely incomprehensible. After all, everyone had their own specialties. The Dao of sword-forging was an independent and complete Dao outside of the Dao of the Sword. People who didn't dabble in it wouldn't understand its mysteries.
After saying that, the Solver looked at Chu Mu with a smug expression, waiting for Chu Mu to embarrass himself.
"One hundred contribution points." Since the Solver had come to provoke him, Chu Mu didn't hold back.
"What? One hundred contribution points?! "The Solver's reaction was even more intense than the Solver's.
Chu Mu indifferently glanced at him. His gaze was saying that he could scram if he didn't want to.
"Give it to him." The Solver's Sword Qi transmitted. He didn't believe that Chu Mu had such high attainments in swordsmanship, alchemy, and sword-forging. That was impossible.
"I can also give you one hundred contribution points, but if you can't answer my questions, the consequences will be severe." The Solver first threatened.
Chu Mu began to use his sword aura to transmit his voice to answer him.
All sorts of complicated expressions appeared, making the other two Solver's Sword Qi have a bad feeling.
"Alright, one hundred contribution points," Chu Mu said after he finished.
He was a Grandmaster Sword-Forging. Given some time, it wouldn't be difficult for him to break through to the Grandmaster Sword-Forging Realm. The Solver's question was only a Grandmaster Sword-Forging Realm. It wasn't difficult.
Although the Solver was unwilling, he subconsciously felt that Chu Mu's explanation was correct. In addition, there were rules in the Heaven Wasteland Palace. He had to follow them. Otherwise, the consequences would be severe. He could only painfully transfer the hundred contribution points to Chu Mu's identity sword token.
Only the third Solver was left.
"Do you have a problem?" Chu Mu looked at the third Solver. He was very happy to receive one hundred and fifty contribution points.
"Yes, of course I have a problem. My problem isn't swordsmanship, alchemy, or sword-forging. It's the seal." The third Solver's Sword Qi caused another round of boos.
"Speak." Chu Mu's Sword Qi didn't change.
The third provocateur immediately pointed out the problem with the seal, and the others were also confused when they heard it.
This time, Chu Mu didn't answer directly. Instead, he seemed to be thinking. The Solver took it as hesitation.
"How is it? Can you answer it? If you can't, then forget it. After all, humans aren't omnipotent." Said the third provocateur. What he said was true, but when he said it, there was a hint of mockery in it.
"Why don't we make a bet?" Chu Mu suddenly said.
"Oh, how?" The third Solver's Sword Qi narrowed his eyes.
"Let's bet if I can answer your question correctly. Two hundred contribution points," Chu Mu said.
As soon as he spoke, the Solver was bewildered.
His common sense told him that it was impossible for Chu Mu to master the profound Way of Sealing. Therefore, as long as he agreed to bet with Chu Mu, he would get two hundred contribution points.
However, he hesitated again. What if?
What if Chu Mu really studied the Way of Sealing and answered his question correctly? Wouldn't he have to pay two hundred contribution points?
It was a good thing that his question was answered, but he knew that he didn't need to pay two hundred contribution points. At most, a few dozen contribution points would be enough.
"Do you want to bet or not? If not, move aside," Chu Mu said calmly.
He almost blurted out the word "bet", but he stopped himself in time. Two hundred contribution points was a lot. It would take him at least two or three days in the Hall of Confusion.
The other two Solvers didn't say anything. Two hundred contribution points wasn't a small amount, and they didn't dare to take the risk.
Their expressions changed, and their rationality and impulsiveness fought fiercely in their minds.
In the end, the third Solver took a step to the side.
"Two hundred contribution points is too much. I don't think it's worth it." After saying that, he found a way out for himself. Then, he didn't dare to stay in the Hall of Confusion any longer. He turned around and strode out.
The other two Solvers looked at each other, then glanced at Chu Mu, and also turned to leave.
Not only did their provocation fail to embarrass Chu Mu, but they also paid a price and made Chu Mu even more famous. It also made the swordsmen who wanted to ask Chu Mu to answer their questions admire Chu Mu even more.
He was an all-around genius.
Many people thought that Chu Mu also had attainments in Sealing. Of course, some people thought that he didn't, and that the previous bet was just to scare the other party. But no matter what, it made everyone admire Chu Mu even more.
