In the pavilion of the Green Bamboo Garden, Chu Mu and Tianqiao Yu sat opposite each other. In front of them, there was wine and food.
"Brother Chu, I wish you the best in the Flying Sky Pavilion. You'll be able to surpass all the other geniuses in the Flying Sky Pavilion. You'll be unparalleled in this generation." Tian Qiaoyu raised her wine cup and said.
"Thank you for your kind words." Chu Mu also smiled. He raised his wine cup and clinked it with Tianqiao Yu's before drinking.
"Brother Chu, my father wants to see you." Tianqiao Yu put down his wine cup and looked at Chu Mu.
"Now?" Chu Mu was not surprised at all.
"Now." Tianqiao Yu nodded.
"Then let's go," Chu Mu said.
The two got up and walked out of the Green Bamboo Garden with Tianqiao Yu leading the way.
With Tianqiao Yu's strength, he indeed could not stay in the Green Bamboo Garden for a long time. However, he was the young master of the Tianqiao Clan and had a secret treasure on him that could allow him to ignore the sharpness of the Green Bamboo Garden. No matter how long he stayed, he would be safe and sound.
The patriarch of the Tianqiao Clan, Tianqiao Yu's father, was called Tianqiao Shou.
When they saw Tianqiao Shou, he was assembling a beast-shaped puppet.
"Father, Chu Mu is here." Tianqiao Shou ignored Tianqiao Yu. He seemed to be immersed in the assembly of the puppet and did not know what was happening outside.
"Brother Chu, please wait for a moment," Tianqiao Yu said.
Chu Mu nodded. He did not show the slightest dissatisfaction or irritation. Instead, he looked on indifferently.
From the outside, it was hard to imagine that such an ordinary middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and height would actually be the patriarch of the Tianqiao Clan.
Tianqiao Shou had been assembling the puppet. Chu Mu had also been standing and watching. He did not have any research on the path of puppetry. However, all methods had their similarities. As he watched, he more or less gained some understanding.
After a full hour, Tianqiao Shou finally finished assembling the beast-shaped puppet. He did not activate it, so the puppet would not move.
"This must be Little Friend Chu Mu, right? Apologies for the neglect just now," Tianqiao Shou said with a smile.
"I should be the one disturbing Uncle," Chu Mu said with a smile.
"Haha, come, sit." Heavenly Qiao Shou gestured with his hand and sat down on a chair at the side. He looked very casual and didn't seem like the head of a large family at all.
Chu Mu and Tianqiaoyu also sat to the side.
"It is my honor to be able to make friends with you." Tian Qiaoshou looked at Chu Mu for a while and smiled.
"Father is right. It is indeed my fortune to be able to befriend Brother Chu." Tian Qiaoyu also smiled. The father and son were quite good with words.
"Being able to become friends with Brother Tianqiao is also my good fortune," Chu Mu said.
"You two don't need to compliment each other," Tianqiao Shou said with a smile, "I want to congratulate Little Friend Chu Mu for being selected into the Flying Heaven Pavilion."
"Uncle, I just passed the Flying Heaven Pavilion's preliminary selection. Whether I can enter the Flying Heaven Pavilion is still unknown," Chu Mu said.
"I believe that with your talent, you will definitely be able to become a disciple of the Flying Heaven Pavilion," Tianqiao Shou said. He seemed to be more confident than Chu Mu.
Of course, Chu Mu was very confident in becoming a disciple of the Flying Heaven Pavilion. Apart from his talent in cultivation, he was impeccable in all other aspects.
"I don't have anything good, so I will use this Dragon Tiger Profound Core Pill as a congratulatory gift. I wish Little Friend that you will stand out in the Flying Heaven Pavilion and become the champion of your generation." A finely carved white jade box appeared in Tianqiao Shou's hand and he handed it to Chu Mu.
"Dragon Tiger Profound Core Pill!" Chu Mu was shocked. There was a pill like this in his inherited memories. It was a very high level pill that was suitable for Spirit Condensation Realm swordsmen to use. It could allow a Spirit Condensation Realm swordsman to advance a small level in one go.
It had to be known that at the Spirit Condensation Realm, it would normally take three to four years to go from Initiation to Minor Accomplishment, four to five years to go from Minor Accomplishment to Dacheng, and five to six years to go from Dacheng to Great Perfection.
A single Dragon Tiger Profound Core Pill could allow a Spirit Condensation Realm swordsman to break through from Initiation to Minor Accomplishment, then from Minor Accomplishment to Dacheng, and finally from Dacheng to Great Perfection in a short amount of time.
With Chu Mu's current attainments in the Dao of Pills, even if he had enough ingredients, he still wouldn't be able to refine the Dragon Tiger Profound Core Pill.
"Uncle, as the saying goes, one can't accept a reward without doing anything. This is too precious." Chu Mu declined.
"Little friend, please accept it. Although the Dragon Tiger Profound Core Pill is precious, I think the friendship between you and my son is even more precious." Tianqiaoshou smiled. "Not to mention, this is my congratulatory gift."
At this point, Chu Mu didn't decline anymore. He accepted the white jade box and held it gently in his palm.
After chatting for a bit more, Chu Mu and Tianqiaoyu left.
…
Inside the Green Bamboo Garden, Chu Mu took out the white jade box and opened it. A faint fragrance immediately spread out and entered his nostrils. It refreshed his mind and refreshed his mind. The sword origin in his body flowed faster and became very active.
Chu Mu wasn't in a hurry to take this pill. Instead, he carefully studied it with his current attainments in the Dao of Pills. He then continued to integrate the inherited memories to deepen his attainments in the Dao of Pills.
The Dragon Tiger Profound Dan was jade-white in color, glossy and smooth. There were veined patterns on it, and if one looked carefully, they would discover that those veined patterns formed the shape of a dragon and a fierce tiger. When one stared at those veined patterns, it felt as if a gust of wind blew out from the dan, and then a fierce tiger rushed out, and then a cloud floated, and a dragon appeared in the cloud.
The wind came from the tiger and the cloud came from the dragon.
The roars of the tiger and the cries of the dragon rose and fell one after another, shaking one's blood and qi.
After studying it for a while, Chu Mu withdrew his gaze.
"Good pill …" Although his attainments in the Dao of Pills had improved after careful study, it still couldn't reach the level of refining the Dragon Tiger Profound Core Pill. Of course, if Chu Mu had enough ingredients, he could slowly try to refine it. After failing a few times, he would eventually succeed.
He opened his mouth and threw the Dragon Tiger Profound Core Pill into his mouth. It melted in his mouth and flowed down his throat into his stomach.
Immediately, the Dragon Tiger Profound Pill's medicinal strength dissolved. In Chu Mu's stomach, waves of dragon roars and tiger roars continuously rang out. His stomach rapidly swelled and quickly contracted. Expanding and contracting, expanding and contracting. Wave after wave of medicinal strength violently surged out.
Dispelling distracting thoughts, Chu Mu calmly operated the Sky Barren Sword Origin. He began to absorb the power of the Dragon Tiger Profound Core Pill. Strand after strand of power entered the Sky Barren Sword Origin, constantly strengthening the Sky Barren Sword Origin.
Chu Mu's cultivation base, under his daily perseverance, rose little by little. Now, he was close to the peak of the Dacheng of the Divine Condensation Realm. At this moment, under the pure and enormous medicinal power of the Dragon Tiger Profound Core Pill, it began to clearly rise.
Very quickly, the Sky Barren Sword Origin rose to the peak of the Dacheng of the Divine Condensation Realm. It began to stride towards the Great Circle of the Divine Condensation Realm.
Chu Mu placed great importance on the foundation. Therefore, when his cultivation base reached the peak of the Dacheng of the Divine Condensation Realm, he did not rush to break through to the Great Circle of the Divine Condensation Realm. Instead, he deliberately suppressed the breakthrough to refine the Sword Origin.
After the Sword Origin was refined, the impurities were removed and the quantity would naturally decrease. He needed to replenish his cultivation base in time to not retreat. In this way, the medicinal power of the Dragon Tiger Profound Core Pill would be constantly consumed.
Time slowly passed. With the addition of the sharpness of the Green Bamboo Garden, Chu Mu's refinement of the Sky Barren Sword Origin became smoother and more nimble.
Not long after, the Sky Barren Sword Origin was refined to the limit and stabilized at the peak of the Dacheng of the Divine Condensation Realm. It was time to make a breakthrough.
As he continuously absorbed the remaining medicinal power of the Dragon Tiger Profound Core Pill, the quantity of the Sky Barren Sword Origin increased little by little. With a pop, his Qi and blood churned. The Sword Origin shook endlessly. His Dantian contracted and expanded in an instant. A powerful force filled his entire body.
Great Circle of the Divine Condensation Realm!
There was still a small amount of medicinal power left in the Dragon Tiger Profound Core Pill. Chu Mu also quickly absorbed this medicinal power to stabilize his cultivation base at the Great Circle of the Divine Condensation Realm.
The Sword Origin of the Great Circle of the Divine Condensation Realm was 30% stronger than that of the Dacheng of the Divine Condensation Realm. This allowed the offensive power of Chu Mu's sword skills to increase slightly.
After finishing the cultivation of the Sword Origin, Chu Mu began to cultivate the Divine Will Secret Technique, Eye of the Sword.
He continued to cultivate. In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Tian Qiaoyu came again to find Chu Mu for a drink.
"Brother Chu, this is a good wine that my father has kept for many years. Don't even talk about drinking it. I can't even take a look at it." Tian Qiaoyu took out a jade wine bottle from her interspatial ring and smiled at Chu Mu. "This time, my father took the initiative to give it to me to entertain Brother Chu."
As she spoke, Tianqiaoyu placed the dishes on the table and opened the cork of the wine bottle. Suddenly, an indescribable fragrance filled the air. That fragrance actually had a form. It was in the form of white smoke. It rushed up from the mouth of the wine bottle like a dragon coming out of the water and soaring into the sky.
"This wine is called Hidden Dragon Rises to Heaven." Tian Qiaoyu pointed at the dragon-shaped white smoke and said to Chu Mu, "It's more than three hundred years old."
"Three hundred years …" Chu Mu was shocked.
The longer a wine was stored, the more fragrant it would be. The older the wine, the more valuable it would be. Originally, Hidden Dragon Rises to Heaven had an extraordinary value. If it was stored for three hundred years, its value would increase by a few hundred times.
This small bottle of wine was estimated to be about one jin. Chu Mu couldn't estimate its value.
However, no matter how valuable it was, it was still wine. Since it was wine, it was meant to be drunk and tasted. Otherwise, no matter how valuable it was, it wouldn't be reflected.
"Hurry up and have a cup." Chu Mu urged. He wasn't an alcoholic, but he liked to taste good wine, especially good wine that he hadn't tasted before. Of course, he wouldn't deliberately pursue it if he didn't have it.
Tian Qiaoyu laughed and began to pour a cup of wine for Chu Mu. In fact, he was here to send Chu Mu off.
Because today was the day that Chu Mu would head to the Flying Heaven Pavilion. After that, he would follow the disciples of the Flying Heaven Pavilion to the Flying Heaven Pavilion.
After that, Tian Qiaoyu didn't know when he would be able to see Chu Mu again.
"Brother Chu, this cup is for you." Tian Qiaoyu raised his cup and said to Chu Mu.
The two of them drank one cup after another with delicious and exquisite dishes. Unknowingly, one jin of Hidden Dragon Rises to Heaven was finished by the two of them.
"This wine is the most delicious wine I've ever tasted," Chu Mu said.
"Brother Chu, I heard that the Flying Heaven Pavilion has a kind of wine that's even more delicious than Hidden Dragon Rises to Heaven. The next time we meet, you have to bring some for me to try." Tian Qiaoyu smiled.
"Okay." Chu Mu agreed without hesitation. He got up and strode out of Green Bamboo Garden.
