The Eighth Prince was going to give the Phoenix Cry Sword to Mu Mu?
At that moment, many people thought that there was something wrong with their ears and that they had misheard.
That was the Phoenix Cry Sword!
A fourth-grade celestial artifact!
Their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
But the Eighth Prince was giving it away so casually?
Why didn't he give it to them?
Many cultivators felt that their worldview was about to be overturned.
It was true that the Extreme Emperor Cliff was a famous force in the Moon River Prefecture, but was it really that powerful? He was giving away such a celestial artifact like it was a cabbage?
Li Mu himself wasn't surprised at all.
Everything was under control.
The Eighth Prince really thought highly of him.
Was he unwilling to give up his son to trap the wolf?
He was really willing to give up so much.
For a moment, Li Mu felt as if he was a goddess who was being pursued by a rich man. That kind of feeling … How should he put it, it was very good.
"Your Highness, this sword is fated with you and not with me. How can I take it away from you?" Li Mu declined.
The Eighth Prince laughed heartily and said, "The so-called fate of the sword is just the surface. If you use this sword for a long time and nourish it with your essence and immortal fate day and night, sooner or later, it will become one with your divine sword and become one with your mind. Young Master Mu is a sword cultivator, so you should understand this principle."
Li Mu smiled.
Actually, at that moment, when he held the sword in his hand, he didn't feel the repulsive force anymore. Instead, he felt a faint sense of intimacy.
Therefore, Li Mu had roughly guessed what was going on just now.
The Sword Pavilion was up to something.
Their final choice was the Eighth Prince.
In order to let the Eighth Prince obtain the Phoenix Cry Divine Sword 'justifiably', they really put in a lot of effort.
"Such a generous gift is too precious. I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it." Li Mu declined again.
He was acting, so he had to act properly.
The Eighth Prince smiled. "If Young Master Mu is willing to be my friend, please accept this sword. Are you looking down on me?"
"This …"
Li Mu pretended to be deep in thought.
The surrounding people were about to go crazy when they saw this scene.
At this moment, many people wanted to replace Li Mu.
Pretentious.
Stupid.
Pedantic.
Facing such a sword, this Mu Mu was still rejecting it. What a scheming b * tch.
"Alright. Thank you, Your Highness." Finally, Li Mu put on an expression as if it would be impolite to refuse. He said, "I do like this sword very much. But Your Highness and I have never met before. I feel very uneasy to accept such a big gift. I don't know how to repay Your Majesty's kindness."
The Eighth Prince smiled. "I just want to be your friend. I don't need to repay."
"This …" Li Mu's face was full of surprise and admiration.
Right at this moment, a young scholar with a white fan in his hand walked out from the crowd. He was extremely suave and carefree as he smiled, "Young Master Mu, my Highness is a man of great talent and is doted on by the Extreme Emperor. In the future, he will be the one chosen by the heavens to inherit the throne. Young Master Mu, since you are a rogue cultivator, you should know that the path of a rogue cultivator isn't easy. Since my Highness has treated you so well, why don't you follow by his side? Not only can you repay his kindness, but you can also guarantee your cultivation path. If Young Master has the heart to conquer the entire Yellow Earth, that would be even better. With Young Master's outstanding talent and methods, it wouldn't be impossible for you to become famous in the Moon River Prefecture and even the entire Eastern Saint Continent …"
The Eighth Prince waited until he was almost finished before interrupting him. "Mister Xiao, stop. Don't use such words. Don't offend Young Master Mu …"
Li Mu laughed in his heart, but he said, "Mister Xiao's words are reasonable …"
He turned his head and looked at the Eighth Prince. He clasped his hands in front of his chest and said, "I know Your Highness's intention. In the past, I've been living like a wild crane, and I don't want to be restrained. That's why I've always refused. However, Your Highness has always treated me with sincerity. I, Mu Mu, can deeply feel Your Highness's sincerity. If Your Highness doesn't mind, Mu Mu is willing to become Your Highness's disciple from today onwards.
The Eighth Prince came over and held Li Mu's hands. He asked excitedly, "Really?"
Li Mu said, "Really."
The Eighth Prince was excited. He laughed and said, "That's great. To be able to get Mister Mu's help, I am really lucky. Hahaha, from now on, I am willing to call you Brother Mu."
Xiao Xiao, who was at the side, waved the folding fan in his hand. He smiled and said, "Hahaha, this is what it means for a good minister to choose a master to serve, and a fine bird to choose a tree to perch on. Today is the grand occasion of the Sword Appreciating Assembly of the Forging Sword Pavilion. All the virtuous people are here, and they have witnessed the lies of a talented and heroic master. Haha, it will definitely be passed down through the ages.
Xiao Xiao was very satisfied with himself as the mastermind who 'successfully' helped the Eighth Prince recruit a genius like Mu Mu. He gave himself a high score.
When the others saw this, they also came back to their senses.
When they looked at the Eighth Prince again, their eyes were filled with admiration.
This was a ruthless person.
An ambitious ruthless person.
In order to win over Mu Mu, he even gave him the Phoenix Cry Divine Sword. He was bold and courageous. No wonder his status in the Extreme Emperor Cliff had been rising all these years.
Li Mu was also very happy.
He even nodded at Xiao Xiao in a very 'friendly' manner.
This person was the best assistant and the best sidekick.
Only Tie Wuqing and the others from the Sword Crafting Pavilion felt slightly awkward and nervous.
They knew very well what the so-called fate of the sword was — there was only a small, one-time formation in the sword. With Mu Mu's ability to set up formations, he would find out sooner or later that the sword was in his hands. At that time, would he have a bad impression of the Sword Crafting Pavilion?
While everyone had different thoughts, the Sword Appreciating Conference finally came to an end.
On the surface, it looked like everyone was happy.
Everyone thought that they were the ones who benefited the most.
The only thing they could be sure of was that Mu Mu's name would undoubtedly resound throughout the Fragrance Plains in the shortest time possible. He would also have a certain degree of fame in the entire Moon River Prefecture.
…
…
Ten days later.
At the Extreme Emperor Cliff.
In the Eighth Prince's Palace, a large banquet finally came to an end after around four hours.
The guests dispersed.
Li Mu, who reeked of alcohol, was arranged to stay in a courtyard on the east side of the Eighth Prince's Palace called the Carefree House.
The courtyard was not small and was extremely exquisite.
There were rockery, ponds, pavilions, gardens, forests, and so on.
Moreover, it was a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle. It was very quiet and suitable for one to concentrate on cultivation.
In addition, all the buildings and walls inside and outside the Carefree House were supported by several layers of immortal formations. They gathered the Spiritual Qi of the Immortal World and had many functions such as defense. It could be seen that a lot of effort had been put into the construction.
"Hahaha, Brother Mu, you don't know this. The Carefree House was the residence of His Highness when he was young. He had a deep affection for it. Later, when His Highness became an adult and received the title of a prince, he opened a government office on the west side of the Carefree House and rebuilt the Eighth Prince's Palace. For so many years, the Carefree House has been empty. When His Highness was restless, he would come and stay for a while. He had never let anyone enter. This time, he gave it to Brother Mu. His Highness's love for Brother Mu has even made us old brothers who have joined the Eighth Prince's Palace a little envious."
The scholar counselor Xiao Xiao said with a smile.
"Mr. Xiao, please excuse me."
Li Mu said.
On the way from Flower Language City to the Extreme Emperor Cliff, he had become very familiar with the scholar named Xiao Xiao in the past ten days.
This scholar was called the White-fan Scholar. He was also a rogue cultivator and had reached the True Immortal Realm. Twenty years ago, he joined the Extreme Emperor Cliff and followed the Eighth Prince. He was the chief strategist of the Eighth Prince's Palace and was highly valued by the Eighth Prince.
Xiao Xiao's status in the Eighth Prince's Palace was extremely high, second only to the Eighth Prince.
Over the years, with the assistance of Xiao Xiao, the Eighth Prince's development had been smooth and he was appreciated by the old emperor of the Extreme Emperor Cliff. He had made great contributions several times. From a prince who was not valued in the past, he had gradually become qualified to compete with other princes for the position of the Crown Prince.
Don't be fooled by this person's usual smile and amiable demeanor, but in reality, he was a ruthless person. Many people who opposed or betrayed the Eighth Prince had fallen at his hands, living a life worse than death.
"Brother Mu, if you need anything else, you can tell me. Maids, guards, and all kinds of cultivation resources will be sent to you tomorrow." Xiao Xiao led Li Mu to walk around the Happy House.
At last, he cupped his hands to bid farewell and said, "Brother Mu, you just came here and haven't made any meritorious deeds, so it's not appropriate to reward you for now. His Highness will create opportunities for you to make meritorious deeds as soon as possible. At that time, he will report to His Majesty and ask for an official title for you."
Li Mu shook his head and said, "I came to the Extreme Emperor Cliff just to serve the eighth prince. I'm not interested in getting promoted. So, please tell His Highness that if he needs anything, he can just order me to do it. But please don't worry about getting an official post." Li Mu shook his head and said, "That's right.
"Oh?" Xiao Xiao was a little surprised, but then he smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely tell His Highness. It's getting late, so I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."
He turned around and left.
Li Mu watched him leave and closed the door of the Happy House.
The core of all the tactical deployments was on an immortal jade token.
Li Mu returned to the room he chose and refined the immortal jade token. In an instant, the layout of the entire Happy House, the movements, the control of the tactical deployments, and the use of all the traps were all in his mind.
"It's indeed the means of the immortals. Just a courtyard is much more sophisticated than the Sword Crafting Pavilion. The Extreme Emperor Cliff is known as the fourth immortal sect in the Yuechuan Mansion, only inferior to the Donghuang Divine Dynasty, the Xuanxian Sect, and the Demon Refining Pavilion. It's not without reason."
Li Mu sighed with emotion.
After taking control of the entire Happy House, Li Mu's expression gradually became serious.
When he came to the main city of the Extreme Emperor Cliff, he could sense dozens of extremely terrifying auras in the city. They were definitely above the Golden Immortal Realm.
Any one of them could suppress him in a head-on battle.
If there were more than three of them, Li Mu would have to flee.
Among the immortal sects behind the 30 advance teams that invaded the Chaotic World, the Extreme Emperor Cliff was just one of the five third-rate forces, ranked low.
For example, the Dongxuan Immortal Sect and the Solitary Sword Sect were also third-rate forces, but ranked higher than the Extreme Emperor Cliff.
It could be imagined that they were more powerful and more terrifying.
Not to mention the second-rate, first-rate, and top forces in the Immortal World.
This made Li Mu realize how wise his final plan was.
Now, he could be said to be the enemy of the whole world in the Immortal World.
Once his identity was exposed, he would become a rat on the street.
Therefore, to deal with the big forces of the Immortal World, he could only borrow their strength to fight them. He could be a coward and slowly develop his strength. If he fought them head-on, it would definitely be like throwing an egg against a stone. In the end, he could only end up dying before he could achieve anything.
"No matter what, I should cultivate first. Improving my strength is the most important thing. As for other things, I can just play it by ear."
Li Mu was also bold because he was skilled.
He calmed down and calmed down.
All the distracting thoughts were cleared.
He held the fairy crystal in his hand and absorbed the fairy power. He first cultivated the Xiantian Skill, then the Sea, Sun, and Moon Immortal Seeking Spell. His strength was slowly but effectively improving.
In the following period of time, Li Mu decided to play the role of 'Mu Mu' with all his strength.
He was not in a hurry to ask the eighth prince to help him find Hua Xiangrong and Wang Shiyu.
If he exposed his weakness too early, it would be easy for others to take advantage of him.
It was fine if it was disadvantageous to him, but it might bring trouble to the two beauties.
…
…
"Oh? He said that? "
In the main hall, the eighth prince, who was wearing loose clothes, sat behind the table and said in surprise.
Xiao Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, I am surprised too."
"He doesn't want to be an official. Hehe, this is the first time I have heard of such a thing."
The eighth prince laughed.
The Extreme Emperor Cliff was a celestial dynasty. Its structure was different from that of a sect, but the government was the same. There was an emperor, a crown prince, a prince, a hundred officials, and an army. According to the rank of the officials, the cultivation resources they could get from the court were different.
The rank of an official represented status.
It also represented cultivation resources and prospects.
Many of the princes who came to the Extreme Emperor Cliff before, including the rogue cultivators and experts who came to the eighth prince, all came for the official rank, cultivation resources, and Cultivation Methods.
Therefore, it was the first time he heard of Mu Mu's words.
"What do you think?" the eighth prince asked.
Xiao Xiao gently waved the folding fan in his hand. He said with extreme certainty, "This Mu Mu is different from the others. He is indifferent and arrogant. The reason why he defected to His Highness is because of His Highness's charisma and his recognition of His Highness. He didn't do it for power or status. If these words were spoken by others, I wouldn't believe them. However, since they came from his mouth, I believe them."
"Oh? Hahaha. "The eighth prince laughed and said," Great minds think alike. "
Xiao Xiao said, "In fact, this kind of person who values friendship more than benefits is the backbone that Your Highness can rely on."
"Mister, you are right." The eighth prince said, "If so, how should I use this person?"
Xiao Xiao said, "You can focus on grooming him. He will definitely be useful in the future. Therefore, I think that Your Highness shouldn't be in a hurry to order him to do anything. Instead, you should treat him well in the Carefree House. You don't need him to deal with small matters. Only when there are truly thorny issues can you arrange for him to take action. Treat it as a test. Not only can you test his attitude, you can also test his ability.
