Chapter 510: Chapter 382: Trading Place, Encountering an Old Acquaintance

“This period, Shen Yicheng is using his own connections to find a descendant of a hermit strongman. My subordinates intercepted some of their information, and they will likely make a move in about five days. This descendant of the hermit strongman has a rather special identity. Although I don’t know Shen Yicheng’s purpose yet, it’s still not necessary to let him succeed.” Lord Yu said.

“Is there anything special about this person?” Chu Mu asked.

“Yes, he’s a key figure. In fact, I also hope that Young Master Chu can provide some protection at the right time. If this person can be used by our Soul Hall, it would be a great thing for our Soul Hall. Even if this person does not want to join our Soul Hall, we can’t let them join opposing forces, as that would bring us a lot of trouble.” Lord Yu said.

“Would such a big impact be caused by having a very powerful Soul Pet in his hands?” Chu Mu asked with some astonishment.

Lord Yu shook his head: “I’ll explain these details to Young Master Chu later; after all, you are not yet familiar with the undercurrents between the major forces.”

“Alright, notify me when the time comes; I’ll be in the city during this period.” Chu Mu said, not wanting to delve deeper into the conflicts and such.

“I will send a young expert to help Young Master Chu. He will also be followed by a strong hidden helper during the mission. At a critical moment, he will make a move.” Lord Yu said.

Chu Mu nodded. Lord Yu’s actions were reasonable, ensuring his safety completely. With no need to worry about Xia Guanghan’s counterattack, Chu Mu could let go and fight.

“In the future, my assistant will convey any news to Young Master Chu. Before that, Young Master Chu can prepare for the Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit. When it’s time to enter the Wind-binding Hall again, the hidden helper will accompany Young Master Chu.” Lord Yu said.

“Thank you, Lord Yu.” Chu Mu bowed his hand and watched Lord Yu leave.

It would take some time before the Wind-binding Sanctuary would reopen. Chu Mu could take advantage of this time to improve the stages of his Soul Pets, so his chances would be even greater when he entered the Wind-binding Sanctuary next time.

After discussing with Lord Yu, Chu Mu went directly to the Hunting Association to settle the Ancient Wind Spirit bounty.

When Chu Mu entered the Hunting Association, he immediately went to find the young girl Xiao Qin. Seeing Chu Mu coming, Xiao Qin’s face bloomed with a joyous smile.

“Has Young Master completed the bounty mission?” Xiao Qin was surprised to see Chu Mu hand over the Soul Capture Ring to her.

Xiao Qin had always thought that Chu Mu hadn’t appeared for so long because the bounty was too difficult. She suspected he might have given up, but unexpectedly, he had completed the eighth-level bounty.

Chu Mu wasn’t interested in meeting the employer, so he let Xiao Qin complete the transaction. He soon received a Space Ring containing 100 million gold coins.

“I heard that Young Master Chu defeated Luo Peng with double control. Young Master Chu is really amazing; Luo Peng is no match for you.” Xiao Qin looked at Chu Mu with admiration.

Chu Mu chatted with Xiao Qin briefly and then processed all the Soul Cores, Soul Crystals, materials, and Crystal Stones he had acquired in the past three months.

Although these things were not worth much individually, Chu Mu’s Space Ring was full of them. Disposing of them all at once could net him 50 million.

After purchasing the Spirit Cold Ice Dew for 35 million gold coins, he also bought 5 million gold coins worth of eighth-level medicine and seventh-level medicine while passing by a pharmacy on the way out of the Hunting Association. Chu Mu now had a total of 210 million in assets.

After strengthening, almost all his Soul Pets could reach the eighth stage. At this time, Chu Mu had to purchase eighth-level Soul Cores, use 10 million to buy high-quality food, and would have 200 million left in usable funds.

The ones not yet upgraded to the eighth stage were Zhan Ye, Demon Tree Warrior, and Ghost Dome King. The metamorphosis to the eighth stage would cost about 50 million each, so Chu Mu needed to spend about 150 million in total.

Lastly, Chu Mu planned to spend the remaining 50 million on a seventh-level Soul Armor for Zhan Ye to equip, increasing its defense.

The stronger Zhan Ye’s endurance, the more its strength would improve. If Chu Mu is wealthy enough to buy eighth-level Soul Armor, Zhan Ye’s combat power could be raised to the intermediate monarch level. Once Zhan Ye continues to develop the Courageous Sting’s Heart, its combat power will be astounding.

However, an eighth-level Soul Armor would likely cost around 4-5 billion, while a Soul Claw might be as much as 7-8 billion. Such a horrifying cost!

Soul Armor wasn’t commonly seen in the trading lists of the Soul Hall. Chu Mu would have to find it at the Trading Place of the Business Association in the end.

The trading center operated by the Business Association connects countless high-level cities economically and has the most complete and diverse range of products in this world. Transactions are purely based on gold coins.

Most Soul Pet Masters have their own exclusive factions, but when they want to make money, they primarily go to the trading center. The trading system here is more comprehensive than other authoritative forces. Many forces base their prices on the trading center’s pricing and then make minor adjustments.

“Indeed, the trading volume in World City is astonishing. In other cities, any Soul Armor above Level 6 has to enter the auction, but here it is directly priced at 50 million, as if it can be supplied infinitely.” Chu Mu looked at the high-grade product list in the trading hall and couldn’t help but sigh.

Back in Gangluo City, which is an Eighth-level city, a Level 6 Soul Armor made major families fight till they were bloody, while in World City, Level 7 Soul Armor directly sold at a standard price without entering the auction.

Furthermore, Chu Mu felt that as long as there is sufficient funding, it shouldn’t be impossible to buy whatever he wants in World City since Level 8 Soul Armor is also available for sale at the trading center.

Chu Mu didn’t hesitate to spend 50 million to purchase a Level 7 Soul Armor.

Chu Mu didn’t plan to buy other things in the trading hall, as the prices at Soul Hall were not very different, and he had to fulfill his conditions of earning 400 million by reaching the Eighth Stage.

After securing the Soul Armor, Chu Mu didn’t linger in the trading hall for long and planned to return directly to the Soul Hall.

Just as he stepped in front of the hall’s entrance, a somewhat familiar woman appeared in his line of sight. Chu Mu paused for a moment and looked at her.

“Meng’er, those two people just now looked quite ordinary. How do you know them?” The youth beside the woman asked.

“They are from the same city as me. I heard their family moved somewhere else, so it’s a bit strange to meet them here in World City,” said the woman called Meng’er.

Chu Mu’s gaze fell on Meng’er, and his expression became surprised. Wasn’t this the Miss of Qin Family in Gangluo City – Qin Meng’er?

Chu Mu remembered that she belonged to the Luoyu Gate faction, which had a similar status to Elemental Gate. Could it be that Qin Meng’er came here to participate in The World Decree too?

“You mean that Eighth-level city of our Luo region? They really didn’t look like experts to me, just from some small family…” The youth chuckled.

These words made Qin Meng’er frown, as she herself was from Gangluo City and a small family too. It felt like the youth was ridiculing her.

Soon, the youth realized his mistake, and hurriedly explained with an apologetic smile, “I didn’t mean you. You are now our Luoyu Gate’s third-tier expert, which makes you different from your past.”

Chu Mu’s situation was too sensitive, and he initially planned to greet her privately when he got a chance, but as he listened to her conversation with the youth, Chu Mu quickly realized that his two brothers might have also come to World City!

“Where did you meet the two people you were talking about just now?” Chu Mu hurriedly approached and asked.

Qin Meng’er looked at Chu Mu and seemed somewhat puzzled. After a while, she responded, “They are in the plaza outside. You should be able to see them as soon as you walk out.”

“Oh, thank you.” Chu Mu nodded, didn’t say much, and quickly walked out of the hall.

Qin Meng’er stared at Chu Mu’s disappearing back with a strange expression, wondering why he looked so familiar, like someone she knew…

It wasn’t surprising for Qin Meng’er to not recognize Chu Mu. For a long period, Chu Mu had let Fox Elder change his appearance gradually using a special technique. This change was subtle and accumulated over numerous instances.

This appearance change was one of the Fox Elder’s signature illusion techniques. People familiar with Chu Mu would multiple times see the subtle changes in his appearance without realizing that his face had gradually changed. For example, Lord Yu and the Ye family siblings would definitely recognize Chu Mu.

But those who hadn’t seen Chu Mu for a while would find him unrecognizable.

Chu Mu did this to avoid being discovered by Xia Guanghan. This way, he could hide in the shadows, slowly gather information about Xia Guanghan, and eliminate this hidden danger when the timing was right.

On the other hand, Princess Jinrou was also an uncertain factor to Chu Mu, who believed that she must have arrived in World City by now. She was one of the people who knew about his dual identity. Whether she kept Chu Mu’s secret because she genuinely wanted to maintain a friendly relationship with Chu Mu or simply out of fear of Liu Binglan’s pressure, Chu Mu couldn’t be sure.

No matter what, being cautious wouldn’t hurt. Chu Mu had to be careful now. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets at Qidian [qidian.com]. Your support will be my greatest motivation.)
