Dragon King Hall's Legend-Chapter 1682: Leaving Dongyue Mansion! Someone Is Secretly Following!

"Hiss!!"

The firewood knife in Mu Jinyu's hand gradually began to melt under the refinement method from the "Scroll of the Sword," turning into a pool of liquid that then merged into his body.

Within Mu Jinyu's internal view, he could see a miniature firewood knife gradually forming in his dantian. As his blood essence continued to surge in, the cold gleam of the blade became even more biting, and its murderous aura grew stronger.

"Phew..."

Mu Jinyu opened his eyes, exhaled lightly, and whispered, "It's quite simple, huh?"

As he spoke, he clasped his hand, and immediately a flash of light appeared, and the firewood knife manifested in his palm.

At the same time, because of the refinement through the "Scroll of the Sword," holding this firewood knife in his hand, Mu Jinyu felt a bloodline connection, as if it were an extension of his arm.

This was a feeling that none of the many magic treasures Mu Jinyu had previously refined possessed.

"This feeling... is quite wonderful..."

After quietly experiencing it for a while, Mu Jinyu suddenly wanted to try using the Firewood Chopping Saber Technique in this state.

It felt like the power should become significantly stronger.

Unfortunately, the small shabby house he lived in couldn't seem to withstand such a commotion!

After a long while, Mu Jinyu finally suppressed that wild thought.

Exhaling lightly, Mu Jinyu took out the low-grade divine longsword and began to operate the "Sword Scroll," also refining it into his body.

When Mu Jinyu finished his cultivation, it was already noon.

"I can leave seclusion now."

Mu Jinyu waved his hand to retrieve the array plates arranged in the room, then opened the door and walked out.

In the surrounding houses, many people were chatting and discussing the Dao. When they saw Mu Jinyu coming out, they only glanced at him casually without speaking.

Mu Jinyu wanted to go see Chu Huannian but was worried she was in seclusion, cultivating.

"Wait, didn't she use all her academic credits to buy that top-quality divine spear? Refining a magic treasure shouldn't take long, so she should be about done by now, right?"

Mu Jinyu suddenly realized that while he used his academic credits to buy many secret manuals and divine weapons to cultivate, Chu Huannian didn't do as he did. She only bought a divine weapon, so she shouldn't still be refining it, right?

But it couldn't be certain, after all, his speed in refining the knife and sword might be due to the "Armament Martial Scripture"?

Hesitant, Mu Jinyu walked to Chu Huannian's residence, wondering whether to knock.

"Come in."

While he hesitated, Chu Huannian's calm voice came from inside.

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief, glad Chu Huannian wasn't cultivating, so he wouldn't be disturbing her. He reached out to push open the door, walked in, and then closed the door.

"Is there something you need?"

Chu Huannian's room didn't have wooden tables and chairs like Mu Jinyu's, only a meditation cushion for sitting cross-legged. The top-quality divine spear lay across her knees, glimmering softly.

Clearly, Chu Huannian should have finished refining the spear but was still nurturing it.

"No, nothing."

Mu Jinyu shook his head slightly, then added, "I just came because I had nothing to do, to see if there was anything to do together?"

"Do you want to earn academic credits by taking on tasks?"

Chu Huannian asked softly, glancing at Mu Jinyu.

"Earning academic credits? More or less."

Mu Jinyu nodded, "Mainly, I just finished learning the secret manuals I exchanged for and wanted to try them out. Also, I find Dongyue Mansion a bit boring; no one's giving lectures or anything? Do they just leave us to cultivate on our own?"

"There are lectures, but they all require academic credits. In Dongyue Mansion, basically everything requires academic credits," Chu Huannian replied.

"I see." Mu Jinyu nodded slightly.

Chu Huannian said, "There are many lecturers in Dongyue Mansion; for each bloodline ranked in the top five hundred, there's a corresponding teacher. You just need to pay academic credits to hear the insights of those teachers on the cultivation path of their respective foreign races."

"What about species ranked below the top five hundred?" Mu Jinyu curiously asked.

Chu Huannian gave Mu Jinyu a sidelong glance, "Do you think those ranked below five hundred can even enter Dongyue Mansion? Do you think everyone is a freak like you?"

"You're right..."

Mu Jinyu nodded thoughtfully, "So, I actually don't need to stay in Dongyue Mansion?"

"You can't say that. Although you don't need a mentor to teach you, your path you must walk yourself, but Dongyue Mansion has plenty of cultivation resources, which you can use well," Chu Huannian advised.

"I understand..."

Mu Jinyu nodded lightly.

Of course, he would stay in Dongyue Mansion, but he also decided not to remain there permanently.

After all, to improve his cultivation, he still needed to find the Royal clan for the subsequent chapters of the "Humanity Path Sutra."

Now that he had arrived in Donghua Province, he had more opportunities and no need to stay hidden in Dongyue Mansion.

After thinking a bit, Mu Jinyu honestly told Chu Huannian, "By the way, Sister Nian, I might not return to Dongyue Mansion often, so could I trouble you to take care of Little Yun when I'm not here?"

"Alright..."

Seeing that Mu Jinyu still wanted to leave, Chu Huannian had no choice but to nod in agreement.

She thought to herself, "Sigh, Ah-Xui, there's not much more I can do for you."

Mu Jinyu invited, "Sister Nian, are you busy now? If not, shall we take on a task together to earn some academic credits?"

Chu Huannian shook her head, "I still need to refine this divine spear. After all, it's a top-quality divine weapon, and it's a bit challenging to refine it thoroughly. Also, I plan to attend a lecture from a Fighting Spirit Tribe mentor."

"Alright, I won't disturb you then."

Mu Jinyu nodded, understanding, and then took his leave.

Chu Huannian didn't want to go out, and Mu Jinyu understood. If Dongyue Mansion had a capable human mentor to teach him cultivation, he wouldn't be in a rush to leave either.

But Dongyue Mansion didn't!

So there's no reason for him to stay here indefinitely. It's better to go out, earn some academic credits, gather intel, and see which Royal clan might have the "Humanity Path Sutra" on hand!

He would be able to visit them!

Thinking this, Mu Jinyu went to the task hall, casually took on a rather troublesome task that would let him leave for about three months, and then left the task hall under the surprised gaze of a disciple.

"He's courting death!"

The disciple in charge of assigning tasks watched Mu Jinyu leave, shook his head slightly, and couldn't be bothered to interfere more.

After leaving the task hall, Mu Jinyu headed toward the teleportation hall at the secret realm exit!

Yes, Dongyue Mansion was located within a very large secret realm, not actually in the Canglan Realm.

In fact, most of the major forces in the Canglan Realm had moved their imperial palace temples into minor worlds within secret realms. This way, external enemies wouldn't know their spatial coordinates, making it difficult to invade, thus ensuring greater safety.

Arriving at the teleportation hall, Mu Jinyu presented his identity plaque to the staff, paid a few source stones, and left Dongyue Mansion via the teleportation array.

As Mu Jinyu departed, some people were communicating secretly in the dark.

"Senior, he's already left through the teleportation hall!"

"Got it. I'm coming over right away!" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Upon receiving the message, the two seniors who had previously broken into the secret realm to steal the Heavenly Mysterious Ice Spirit Marrow let their sinister eyes flash with anticipation a few times, then headed toward the teleportation hall.
