Chapter 151 - 132 Dragon Blood Sea Valley 1
“My respects to elder!”
Facing the Divine Intent of a Golden Core Stage, Xu Mu calmly bowed.
Before he arrived, he had anticipated the worst-case scenarios, such as encountering a Golden Core Stage or a Nascent Soul Stage. What should he do? Although the chances were minimal, the always cautious him had still prepared for it.
He didn’t expect that a blind cat would really run into a dead mouse.
So he handled the situation quite calmly!
The other party didn’t seem to detect anything unusual.
Indeed, opportunities are always left to those who are prepared.
“What is your name?”
A woman’s voice came from the Divine Intent, possessing a hint of superiority.
“Yinmu!”
Xu Mu said a name he had prepared long ago.
“Which clan are you from?”
“When I left, the elders in my family told me not to reveal it to outsiders. I ask for elder’s understanding.”
Xu Mu found a reason to evade the question.
You can make up a name, but not a clan. If the other party knows, it would be troublesome.
Fortunately, his lame excuse still seemed plausible.
Some ancient Sea Race indeed have such rules to prevent their younger generation from wreaking havoc in the name of the clan.
The mysterious Golden Core Stage Sea Race did not ask him why he was here.
After a simple inspection to confirm he was not disguising, he withdrew his Divine Intent.
Xu Mu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“Facing me, a member of the King Clan, and still acting superior. He must not be from the Imperial Clan, right?”
At this time, he remembered what Zhang Tianluo had said before. A distinguished guest had recently arrived at the Blue Scale Clan, to the extent that her friends dare not sell her anything.
It should be this Golden Core Stage!
A Golden Core Stage is already an unruly existence in this area. If the other party is a King Clan, their strength would be even stronger than an ordinary Golden Core Stage.
“Could he be stirring up trouble?”
Xu Mu suddenly got worried.
He had been at peace for a few days and was not eager to stir up trouble again. “Looks like I need to strengthen my power as soon as possible! Who knows if I’ll encounter situations like the one with Mu Yunwan again!”
Originally, he wanted to hide his strengths and observe for a while.
But now, even a Golden Core Stage has detected him, so there’s no need to keep a low profile.
He started to sell a large amount of supplies in the store.
Such as Mu Yunwan’s robes and the items he just looted from the Iron Corpse Gang. These things would be troublesome to deal with outside, but here he can rest assured.
Even the mighty Butian Pavilion couldn’t investigate the Sea Race.
The Sea Race can use human items too, and at a higher price.
Perhaps because of their living environment, whether in Alchemy or other aspects, the Sea Race is far behind the Human Clan.
This is one of the reasons why the Human Clan can hold its own in the war.
The various Magic Artifacts of the Human Clan are quite valuable here. Among the supplies sold by Zhang Tianluo, there is a part of Magic Artifacts.
To Xu Mu’s surprise, his inventory sales caused quite a stir at the Blue Scale Clan assembly point.
This situation arose because he sold a large amount of goods, and the goods were high-grade.
For items below tier three, Xu Mu wouldn’t bother.
Fortunately, he is powerful and of high status. Even if someone craved his wealth, they had better weigh their own strength first.
Even if they were Sea Race at the Perfection Stage of Foundation
Establishment, they wouldn’t be sure if they could defeat a King Clan who had just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Unless they start the Great Array!
However, doing so would be equivalent to challenging all the King Clans. As long as they are not brain-damaged, they definitely wouldn’t do this.
The only one who could pose a threat to him was the unknown Golden Core Stage Sea Race.
However, considering the other party’s identity, he probably wouldn’t care about the little things he has.
“Where did you get the clothes you sell?”
The Divine Intent of that Golden Core Stage swept over him again, and at the same time, two unfamiliar Golden Core Stage Divine Intents surrounded him from front and back.
It’s one thing to be slapped in the face once, but why keep slapping?
Xu Mu felt depressed.
But he could only answer honestly.
“I have killed several Human Clan cultivators before. The clothes were taken from them.”
Xu Mu admitted generously.
Killing Human Clan cultivators is considered an honor here and will neither be punished nor despised.
When they heard it was stolen from the Human Clan, the superiority in the Divine Intent seemed to fade a lot.
“Do you have any more clothes for sale?”
“Eh?”
Xu Mu was thinking in his mind, wanting to find an excuse to dodge this.
The other party was stronger than him and had a mysterious identity. He really didn’t want to have too much contact.
As for the robes, he indeed still had some. These were high-quality goods he stole from Mu Yunwan, all of which were at least tier five.
The reason he didn’t sell them was that the robes were of too high a grade and the Blue Scale Clan’s market couldn’t digest them.
Secondly, these robes could only be worn by female Sea Race, and not ordinary Sea Race females.
The audience was relatively small, so even if he wanted to sell them, he couldn’t.
“Don’t try to deceive me!”
The other party seemed to have detected his intention and directly threatened.
“Indeed, I have some left. Does elder want to buy them?”
Xu Mu could only respond with a bitter smile.
He was afraid that if he said he didn’t have any, the other party would forcefully confiscate his storage bag.
“Come to the castle in the center!”
“Yes!”
Xu Mu dispelled the illusion on his body and flew towards the castle in the center.
This place was originally where the high-ranking members of the Blue Scale Clan resided, but now it was completely occupied by another group, surrounded by a powerful formation, likely a tier seven.
As for the people of the Blue Scale Clan, they could only serve as guards on the outermost perimeter.
This team was extremely diverse, consisting of various Sea Races.
The Frog Clan, Shell Clan, Crab Clan, Squid Clan, and more, and also—
“The Tiger Whale Clan!!”
Xu Mu saw two men stationed at the deep end of the castle entrance, standing taller than three zhang, with mouths large enough to swallow a man whole. His pupils slightly contracted.
This was the Tiger Whale Clan, renowned as equal to the Silver Shark Clan.
The Tiger Whale Clan had a large body size and were naturally terrifyingly powerful. Their combat effectiveness was astonishing, and even those of a higher realm would find it difficult to subdue them.
“They actually let two Princes guard the door, and there is such a large force to guard, could the woman inside actually be of the Imperial Clan?”
He was not allowed to go in to meet her, but was stopped at the entrance. All the clothes were taken out and a maid took them in.
After a long time, the Divine Intent came, transmitting the sound again.
“I want all these clothes, you give me a price.”
Hearing the other party’s words, Xu Mu didn’t know whether to be happy or worried.
What made him happy was that he could sell all the clothes at once, saving him a lot of trouble.
What worried him was that he didn’t know about the other person’s character, so what price should he ask for?
If it’s too high, he is afraid of angering the other party, if it’s too low, he can’t bear it.
After all, these were things he got risking his life for.
He looked around at the surrounding guards and suddenly had a brilliant idea.
“Replying to your senior! This junior would like to exchange these items for some Haiyu that are at least a hundred years old, but of course, those of a thousand years would be better!”
“Haiyu?”
That was somewhat surprising to the other party.
Because to the Sea Race, Haiyu is just food.
Unlike the lingyu of the Human Clan, haiyu is produced by sea anemones. As long as the sea anemones do not die, they can be produced indefinitely.
Compared to the lingyu, which humans need to painstakingly tend to, haiyu’s output is much higher.
Many human cultivators who deal with the Sea Race like to resell haiyu; because haiyu is not expensive in Haizhu, but it is in the Human Clan.
In the woman’s eyes, clothes were very precious, and it didn’t seem right to exchange such precious things for food.
If it were low-grade haiyu, she would have suspected him of reselling them.
But trading centuries-old and millennium-old haiyu wouldn’t be advantageous for resale.
“Alright!”
The woman hesitated slightly, and then chose to agree.
This swap was beneficial to her, so there was no reason not to agree. As for what the other party wanted to do with them, she didn’t care.
With her status, it was easy for her to get haiyu.
Not to mention a hundred and thousand-year-old anemones, even ten- thousand-year-old ones, she had them all.
Shortly after, a brown-skinned maid from the Ray Tribe, showing respect, brought over a storage bag.
While her mistress could ignore Xu Mu, they, the servants, dared not.
The storage bag had no mark on it, and Xu Mu immediately refined it.
Inside was a small pile of grains glowing a lustrous, blood-red colour, their crystallized form sparkling like diamonds.
Just by extending his Divine Intent to check, he could feel the enormous essence contained within them.
Each grain was like a miniature version of the Blood Sun Pill.
Xu Mu couldn’t help but feel elated.
This was exactly what he needed.
With these Haiyu, he could continue to enhance his Heavenly Extreme Purple Thunder Body.
This trade was the most profitable one for him.
“This is five hundred catties of thousand-year-old Dragon Blood Haiyu! Not only can it replenish your essence, but it can also nourish your body. It should be enough to compensate for the value of these clothes! You don’t have any objections to this transaction, right?”
“No objections! Thank you senior!”
Even if Xu Mu had objections, he wouldn’t dare voice them. Besides, the haiyu they gave him didn’t seem to be of a lesser value when calculated.
Having received what he wanted, Xu Mu thanked them and left. The other parties did not intend to retain him.
“Your Highness, this Silver Shark’s origins are mysterious, should I send someone to investigate?”
An elderly man with blue shell on his body and wrinkled grey skin asked respectfully, bending over towards a silhouette of a woman behind the gauze window.
“No need! The Silver Shark Clan has always been mysterious, there’s no need to provoke them! With the time we have, it would be better to quickly confirm the location of the ruins. If we miss this opportunity, who knows how long we’ll have to wait. Upon return, we’re sure to be punished by the Emperor!”
The woman said impatiently.
“Yes!”
He could only acquiesce with a deep bow.
“Alright! You all may withdraw! I’m tired, I need to rest for a while, and I don’t want to be disturbed! ”
“Yes!”
The few people in the room all had helpless expressions on their faces.
What tiredness?
She clearly wanted to try on the newly purchased clothes!
After everyone left, sounds of uncontrollable excitement soon came from behind the screen.
“I didn’t expect to have such an unexpected gain this time, these clothes are really beautiful! When I return to the palace, they will definitely be envious! Hehehe!”
“But why do these clothes look so strange? Why is there such a thin cord added? How do I wear these pieces of cloth? Are they accessories! And this clip, why is it inside…”
