Chu Mu's return was out of Li Wei's expectations. It made Li Wei extremely happy. She hurriedly prepared even more delicacies to properly reward Chu Mu.
Chu Mu smiled and didn't refuse. Instead, he sat on the second floor's balcony and looked at the dusky sky. He didn't think about anything and emptied his mind.
Only when Li Wei brought out the fragrant dishes did Chu Mu come back to his senses and slowly enjoy them. As for Li Wei, she quietly sat to the side and watched Chu Mu eat. From time to time, she would chat with him.
After that, Chu Mu had Li Wei practice her sword skills. He wanted to see how much progress she had made in the month he wasn't here and give her some pointers.
Chu Mu also discovered that Li Wei's cultivation had broken through to the early stage of the Sword Qi Realm. His heart trembled and he took out the last bottle of Qi Gathering Pills. This thing was already useless to him, but it was very useful to Li Wei.
Li Wei was both happy and grateful. She would probably wake up laughing from her sweet dreams for the entire night.
Talking softly and relaxing his body and mind. This kind of feeling was very pleasing to occasionally enjoy. Especially for Chu Mu who had comprehended the dual concepts of wind and cloud, it was even more appropriate.
"Tomorrow, I'll first pay a visit to the High Wind sect master and then go to the Sword Battle Arena. After that, I'll do my best to obtain Qi Gathering Pills and raise my cultivation to the peak of the eighth stage as soon as possible." Chu Mu thought to himself. After washing up, he went to sleep.
… …
"You're back. Not bad, your cultivation has increased a bit." The High Wind sect master looked at Chu Mu. His eyes flashed as he smiled. He had only seen that Chu Mu's cultivation had increased from the early stage of the eighth stage to the middle stage. He didn't know that Chu Mu's comprehension of the concept of wind had reached thirty percent. Moreover, his second concept, the concept of cloud, had also reached ten percent. He also had the inheritance of a transcendent sword skill and comprehended a sword force that he had never comprehended before.
Otherwise, he might have directly pissed his pants.
"I've gained something from my trip home," Chu Mu said with a smile.
"Very good, with your eighth phase middle stage sword qi cultivation, twenty percent wind mentality, and exquisite sword arts, you can sweep away any eighth phase disciple in our school. Even an elite disciple in the early and middle stage of the ninth phase may not be your opponent. You can compete with the late stage or even the peak stage of the ninth phase." Ling Feng Sect Master clapped his hands and laughed, he was extremely happy: "In another two months, it will be our triennial Qing Feng Sword Battle Gathering. In the past, our three inner courts were just going through the motions and were unable to obtain any rankings at all. But this time, I believe that you will be able to show your talent in the Sword Battle Gathering. "
"Sect Master, can you tell me more about the Qingfeng Sword Battle Festival?" Chu Mu asked curiously.
"The Qingfeng Sword Battle Festival began a hundred years after our sect was founded. It is held every three years." Ling Feng Sect Master slowly said: "In theory, any disciple has the qualifications to participate, but those who can truly enter the Qingfeng Sword Battle Festival are all disciples in the eighth or ninth phase of the sword qi realm. You also know that whether it is the inner court disciples of the main palace or our three courts, once they break through to the ninth phase, they will become the elite disciples of the main palace. So, the eighth phase disciples are often just going through the motions to gain experience. Only the ninth phase disciples can truly fight to the end. In the end, those who can obtain the top three are usually at the peak of the ninth phase. "
Chu Mu nodded.
"Let me tell you, the rewards for the top three of every Sword Battle Festival are the same and have never changed. But to any swordsman, it has a fatal attraction. " Ling Feng Sect Master had a mysterious and yearning look. After feeling that he had aroused Chu Mu's curiosity enough, he continued to show off: "You also know that when a swordsman has comprehended the first conception, the difficulty of comprehending the second will increase exponentially. And the top three of the Qingfeng Sword Battle Festival's rewards are to comprehend the Qingfeng Sword Stele for three days, two days and one day. There is a 5% chance of comprehending the gold conception, a 10% chance of comprehending an advanced sword skill, and a 30% chance of comprehending an intermediate gold sword skill. How is it? Is it attractive enough? "
"Gold conception …" Chu Mu was truly shocked.
Now that he had comprehended the wind and cloud conception, if he comprehended the gold conception, he would have three kinds of conception.
Moreover, Chu Mu had already deeply experienced the benefits of comprehending conception.
Conception could not only increase the power of sword skills of the same element, but it also had an obvious auxiliary and accelerated effect on the cultivation of sword skills of the same element.
Moreover, the gold element was said to be the sharpest of all elements. Chu Mu was moved.
"Are you moved? Actually, I am also very moved. However, the Qingfeng Sword Stele is the best for everyone's first comprehension, and it will get weaker and weaker. " Ling Feng Sect Master sighed with regret: "It's a pity that when I comprehended the Qingfeng Sword Stele, I only comprehended an intermediate sword skill. If you can raise your cultivation to the peak of the eighth phase before the Sword Battle Festival starts, you might be able to compete with those disciples at the peak of the ninth phase and fight for the top three. "
"I will." Chu Mu nodded: "Sect Master, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Wait, you brat, did you offend the Sect Master's daughter?" Ling Feng Sect Master said as he looked at Chu Mu with a strange expression.
"Sect Master's daughter?" Chu Mu was slightly stunned, a white figure flashed in his mind. Only then did he realize that it was the Sect Master's daughter. No wonder she was so willful and spoiled: "You can say so."
"You're so awesome." Ling Feng Sect Master looked at Chu Mu speechlessly for a long time before giving him a thumbs up: "Last night, an elder of the main hall came to find me, hoping that you can practice the sword with her."
"I don't have time." Chu Mu's eyes flashed with an apologetic look as he said indifferently: "Sect Master, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"I knew you would say that. Go." Ling Feng Sect Master said with a smile. He didn't pay much attention to such matters. It was just a spoiled temper.
… ….
After bidding farewell to the Ling Feng Sect Master, Chu Mu went straight to the Sword Battle Arena.
When Chen Jin saw Chu Mu appear, he was stunned at first, but then he was overjoyed. When the other disciples saw Chu Mu, they were all incomparably excited, but at the same time, their hearts were extremely complicated.
"I hope that this time, you can break the previous record and create a new one." Chen Jin handed the unsharpened Hundred Refined Sword to Chu Mu and said solemnly.
"Two months." Chu Mu took the sword and said, making Chen Jin even more excited.
Chu Mu went up on stage.
"Senior Brother Chu, I haven't seen you for a month. My sword skills are even more profound than before. Please guide me." The guardian of the stage said after saluting to Chu Mu. His expression was a little excited, but also incomparably vigilant.
"Please." Chu Mu returned the salute and smiled.
After Chu Mu let the other party attack more than ten times, he defeated the other party with a single strike. After that, the Sword Battle Arena was Chu Mu's world. Chu Mu once again dominated the Sword Battle Arena.
Two months, for an entire two months, Chu Mu would be on the Sword Battle Arena every day. At the same time, at the highest point of the Sword Battle Tablet, there was a small bronze sword engraved with Chu Mu's name, symbolizing an unprecedented glory.
