Chapter 818
Humans are also rare treasures
Ye Tongxuan was surprised that Su Mu actually wanted to find an ordinary doctor.
He had originally brought Su Mu to a clinic out of spite, but Su Mu actually behaved like an ordinary person, obediently letting the doctor take his pulse.
He also asked many questions with great interest.
He even personally inspected each of the medicinal herbs in the pharmacy.
Ye Tongxuan couldn't understand at all what use those ordinary medicinal herbs could be to a Dao Extreme Realm expert like him.
Let alone Dao Extreme Realm experts, even Dao Source Realm experts wouldn't look down on these things.
These medicinal herbs only have a slight effect on low-level martial artists.
Seeing Su Mu's serious expression, the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect revealed a thoughtful look.
He seemed to understand what Su Mu was going to do.
Su Mu wanted to learn about the Great Luo Heaven.
For ordinary people, the biggest problems are birth, aging, illness, and death.
By visiting a medical clinic in a different world, one can gain insight into the lives of ordinary people in that world.
By observing the lives of ordinary people, one can infer what the upper echelons of the world are like.
They are outsiders, and with Ye Tongxuan, a traitor, by their side, they will face numerous obstacles if they want to understand the Great Luo Heaven.
However, ordinary people in the Great Luo Heaven have no idea what those important figures are doing, nor can they care.
They have their own lives.
Su Mu certainly knew that if they tried to contact the powerful figures of the Great Luo Heaven, those powerful figures would definitely not tell them the truth about the Great Luo Heaven for various reasons.
This method of Su Mu is actually the most effective.
Only by fully understanding the Great Luo Heaven can they know what is most precious about it.
After figuring all this out, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect didn't sit idle either. He followed Su Mu's example and began to carefully study the medicinal herbs of Da Luo Tian.
The medicinal herbs of a small world can reveal the situation of that small world.
Different environments can nurture different medicinal materials, and based on these environments, one can infer what kind of rare and precious herbs might be found there.
Ye Tongxuan didn't care what the two were doing. As long as they didn't cause trouble, he didn't care if they spent a year counting medicinal herbs.
However, Ye Tongxuan's idea of slacking off was obviously impossible to realize.
After spending two hours wandering around the clinic, Su Mu went to another one.
This was repeated time and time again.
For several days in a row, Su Mu wandered around the streets.
After visiting all the medical clinics, he started visiting restaurants.
He was just like a tourist, sampling all the local delicacies.
Occasionally, when the mood strikes, he might even squat down on the street and chat with people.
Ye Tongxuan had absolutely no idea what Su Mu was planning to do.
However, the transaction between Su Mu and Chang Sheng Tian was only for one year.
All I need to do is make sure that Su Mu doesn't cause trouble in Da Luo Tian within this year.
As for what Su Mu can acquire through his own abilities, that's none of his business.
In his eyes, it would be better if Su Mu got nothing at all.
However, it is clear that his idea is impossible to realize.
Because he personally witnessed Su Mu buying a sword from a general store.
It was an ordinary sword. A True Essence Realm martial artist might regard it as a divine weapon, but to a Dao Extreme Realm expert, that sword was not much better than a wooden stick.
In fact, Ye Tongxuan knew very well that there was nothing useful to Dao Extreme Realm experts in this first level of heaven.
The resources in each of the nine heavens of the Great Luo Heaven are different.
Once their cultivation reaches a certain level, they will ascend to a higher level of space.
For a Dao Origin Realm expert like Ye Tongxuan, the place he usually lives is the Seventh Heaven.
The place where Dao Realm experts live is the Eighth Heaven.
As for the Ninth Heaven, that is where the experts of the Primordial Realm reside.
However, Ye Tongxuan did not know whether there were any experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm in the Great Luo Heaven.
If there were any, Changshengtian might be one, but Ye Tongxuan had never heard of anyone else.
In short, Su Mu and the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect are both Dao Realm experts. If they want to find something useful to them, they will have to go to at least the Seventh Heaven.
However, Ye Tongxuan did not remind Su Mu.
Since Su Mu only has one year, he should just stay and explore the First Heaven.
Anyway, there's nothing particularly valuable in the first level of heaven. If Su Mu spends a year here, it would undoubtedly be a huge gain for the Great Luo Heaven.
As for ordinary longswords, Su Mu could have as many as he wanted.
I'd give it to him for free, no problem.
Moreover, the longsword in Su Mu's hand was bought by Su Mu himself with spirit stones.
Seeing Su Mu casually hang the sword at his waist, Ye Tongxuan was completely bewildered.
“Su Mu, if you want weapons, you can just say so. There’s no need to use this kind of trick to hint at it to me.”
Ye Tongxuan couldn't help but say, "I know a place here that specializes in selling the best weapons. If you like, I can personally give you a few."
Regardless of the circumstances, Su Mu was a guest invited by their Great Luo Heaven, so why let him wear an ordinary longsword so openly, especially since the sword even had the Great Luo Heaven's emblem on it?
Isn't this shameful?
Su Mu can afford to lose face, but Ye Tongxuan cannot.
"No need, I think this sword is fine."
Su Mu said casually, while toying with the sword.
"However, if you could take me to visit the weapon-forging masters of your Great Luo Heaven, I would be quite interested."
"To visit the weapon-forging master of the Great Luo Heaven?"
A look of confusion flashed across Ye Tongxuan's face; he didn't quite understand what Su Mu was trying to do.
"Your Great Luo Heaven doesn't even have weapon-forging masters, does it?"
The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect spoke up from the side, "Ye Tongxuan, don't forget that the Eternal Heaven asked you to be our guide. Your constant refusals show that you don't take the Eternal Heaven's orders seriously."
When did I make excuses?
Ye Tongxuan frowned.
"Since you haven't hesitated, why don't you lead the way?"
The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect sneered, "We want to meet the best weapon-forging master in the first heaven!"
Don't just send anyone to fool us; we can't hide this from you!
"Hmph, why would I need to lie to you?"
Ye Tongxuan said dismissively, "You just want to see the weapon-forging master? I'll take you there."
He sneered inwardly. This was the first level of the nine heavens of the Great Luo Heaven, and there were no remarkable weapon forgers here.
Even the strongest weapon forger in this category is only relative to low-level martial artists.
If Su Mu wanted to obtain divine weapons from this weapon-forging master, he would probably be wasting his time.
With that thought in mind, Ye Tongxuan no longer hesitated.
"Follow me."
He led the way.
Su Mu's expression was calm and composed as he followed Ye Tongxuan forward at a leisurely pace, looking as if he were on a picnic.
He walked along, observing the surrounding scenery with great interest.
The Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect secretly recorded the terrain and topography of this Great Luo Heaven.
He was thinking to himself how he should arrange his troops and how he should conquer Da Luo Tian if he were to lead an army to attack it one day.
Although Su Mu has now reached a deal with Changshengtian, in the heart of the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect, Daluotian is still an enemy, not a friend.
Who knows when they might go to war with Da Luo Tian?
Make more preparations now so that we are not caught off guard when war breaks out.
"The first level of the Great Luo Heaven is so vast that it is not visible to the outside world at all."
The three of them were flying in the air when the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect couldn't help but say something.
From the outside, it looks like an upside-down mountain, but once you step inside, it's almost exactly the same as the small world he knew.
Here, too, there is a sky, a sun and moon, mountains and rivers.
"This is the mystery of space. Even if you are a Dao Realm expert, you probably can't comprehend even a fraction of it."
Ye Tongxuan said with a proud look, "This was created by the great divine powers of the Eternal Heaven of our Great Luo Heaven through generations of divine beings."
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect couldn't help but curl his lips. This silly boy thought it was something to be proud of.
Doesn't he ever consider why the Eternal Heaven is doing this?
Isn't this just like keeping the people of Da Luo Tian like birds in a cage?
Layer upon layer, what's the difference between this and raising a venomous insect?
Didn't that silly boy Ye Tongxuan realize that their fates were all under the control of the Eternal Heaven?
However, to be fair, the methods of the Eternal Heaven are truly unbelievable.
At least, the Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect couldn't figure out what methods Changshengtian had used to create this upside-down mountain.
Involuntarily, the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect turned his gaze to Su Mu.
His current habit is that if there's anything he doesn't understand, he just asks Su Mu.
Although Su Mu is much younger than him, Su Mu's knowledge far surpasses his.
He even suspected that Su Mu might have figured something out, which was why he was wandering around aimlessly and even trying to find the weapon-forging masters of the Great Luo Heaven to talk to.
"The Eternal Heaven is indeed a learned man of heaven and earth; I am far inferior to him."
Su Mu said slowly.
Hearing Su Mu say this, Ye Tongxuan's pride grew even stronger. "You don't need to feel inferior. To be honest, Su Mu, you are the person I have ever met whose talent is second only to our Eternal Heaven."
Ye Tongxuan said, "Among all the Dao Realm experts in our Great Luo Heaven, I don't think any of them can compare to him."
"Even if you have exceptional talent, you're still just a mortal. There's no need for you to compare yourself to us in the Eternal Heaven, because how can a mortal compare to a god?"
"You dare to say that those at the pinnacle of cultivation are mortals? You're the first one I've ever seen."
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect curled his lip.
He thought to himself, "You probably don't understand Su Mu. If you did, you would never say something like that."
That's right, Changshengtian is indeed very strong, but if you say that Su Mu is not as good as Changshengtian, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect would be the first to disbelieve it.
Even if Su Mu is not as good as Changshengtian now, it's only because of his cultivation level.
The fact that the Eternal Heaven is old and temporarily ahead doesn't mean anything.
Back when he first met Su Mu, his cultivation level was also above Su Mu's.
The results of it?
It hadn't been long before Su Mu had overtaken him.
He can barely see Su Mu's back anymore.
How can we know that the Eternal Heaven is an exception?
Now that Su Mu has arrived in the Eternal Heaven, it won't be long before he surpasses it.
The Grand Elder of Yokoyama Sect had no doubt about this.
He had never met anyone with better martial arts talent than Su Mu.
The Eternal Heaven only benefits from its advanced age and long cultivation period.
"There is a weapon-forging master in the first heaven named Liu Bufan."
Ye Tongxuan said, "His weapon-forging skills are recognized as the best in the first level of heaven, but he is only in his fifties this year, his martial arts cultivation is not high, and his weapon-forging skills are, to be honest, just so-so."
Ye Tongxuan himself was a powerful figure living in the seventh heaven, so naturally he looked down on the weapon forgers of the first heaven.
"He lives on that island in front."
Ye Tongxuan casually pointed ahead.
"Okay, once we get to the island, don't speak without my permission."
Su Mu said calmly.
"Since the Eternal Heaven has promised that I can take away the things of the Great Luo Heaven at will, as long as I don't steal or rob, it's fine."
"Then he probably wouldn't mind if I took on a disciple in the Great Luo Heaven."
Su Mu said calmly.
Ye Tongxuan's eyes widened in surprise.
Want to take on an apprentice?
What do you mean?
Are you going to take our people from Da Luo Tian away?
Is this even possible?
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that the Eternal Heaven didn't actually say that people couldn't be given to Su Mu.
If Su Mu can really get the people of Da Luo Tian to voluntarily become his disciples, then taking them away wouldn't be considered a violation of the agreement.
only--
Ye Tongxuan frowned, unsure how to stop Su Mu.
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but give Su Mu a thumbs up in his heart.
Taking on apprentices?
That's brilliant!
The Great Luo Heaven may have some rare and precious materials, but it is clear that it will not be easy for the two outsiders to obtain them here.
Even if the experts of the Great Luo Heaven don't openly obstruct them, they can easily make the two of them leave empty-handed by using some tricks.
A year is far too short a time.
But if we broaden our horizons, we'll find that the Great Luo Heaven has more than just rare and precious materials; it also has people.
If Su Mu really takes in a group of disciples in Da Luo Tian and brings them back to Da Xuan, it would be equivalent to gaining a group of martial artists with considerable strength.
Most importantly, these people are familiar with the Great Luo Heaven.
If Su Mu were to ever take on Da Luo Tian, they would be the best vanguard.
As for whether these disciples from the Great Luo Heaven would turn against him, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect was not worried about that.
A teacher for a day is a father for life.
Even in the Great Luo Heaven, taking a master is a very serious matter.
They had already found out this while they were wandering around.
Once a martial artist becomes an apprentice, they will obey their master's orders without question.
The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect initially thought Su Mu wanted to learn about the customs and traditions of Da Luo Tian, but now he realizes that Su Mu already had this idea back then.
"Although this is only the first level of heaven and the strength of the martial artists is not high, Liu Bufan's talent for forging weapons is not bad, and he is barely qualified to be your disciple."
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect clapped his hands.
“Su Mu, the agreement between us, Changshengtian, and you cannot use force. You cannot force Liu Bufan to become your disciple.”
Ye Tongxuan said in a deep voice.
"Coercion? Haha."
The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect laughed loudly, "Ye Tongxuan, do you know how many geniuses in the Great Thousand World would want to become his disciples if Su Mu were to announce that he wanted to take on disciples?"
He wanted to take Liu Bufan as his disciple; that would be a great fortune for Liu Bufan for several lifetimes.
"Do you believe that if Su Mu only shows a little bit of his skill later, Liu Bufan will be begging and pleading to become his disciple?"
"I do not believe."
Ye Tongxuan snorted coldly.
"Let's make a bet. If Liu Bufan takes the initiative to become your disciple later, then you lose. If you lose, you will become Su Mu's disciple. How about it?"
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect chuckled.
"What if I win? Although Liu Bufan is not strong, he is extremely arrogant in the art of weapon forging and will definitely not easily become an apprentice."
Ye Tongxuan said coldly.
"If you win, I'll become your apprentice. Are you willing to bet?"
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect said without hesitation.
Ye Tongxuan: "..."
You, a Dao Extreme Realm cultivator, are taking me, a Dao Source Realm cultivator, as your master?
Even if you dare to worship, I dare not accept it.
If I take you as my apprentice, then who will be teaching me, or me teaching you?
"No gambling."
Ye Tongxuan said expressionlessly.
These people in this vast world are all too cunning; he feared he would be fooled.
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect looked regretful.
Although Ye Tongxuan is a bit naive, he's very strong.
A peak Dao Origin Realm expert is extremely rare even in the vast world.
Moreover, it is quite obvious that Ye Tongxuan is also very familiar with the Great Luo Heaven and is a capable general under the Changsheng Heaven.
If they could turn Ye Tongxuan into Su Mu's apprentice, they would have hit the jackpot.
pity.
Ye Tongxuan has become smarter and didn't fall for it.
As they were talking, the three of them landed on a small island.
As soon as they landed, a boy came to greet them.
"Have you gentlemen come here seeking military assistance?"
The boy bowed and said, "My master has forged a divine weapon, and powerful figures from all sides have come to ask for it. Seniors, please follow me to the welcoming pavilion for a while."
On the fifteenth, my master will arrive with divine weapons, and those destined to obtain them will be rewarded.
All three were somewhat surprised; it seemed they had stumbled upon something unexpected.
"Hey, not much skill, but quite the show."
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect chuckled.
Even in this vast world, if he wanted to visit someone, there was absolutely no reason for him to wait.
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect is an absolute big shot.
Moreover, he is already a Dao Realm expert.
How dare a mere True Essence Realm martial artist make them wait?
He looked at Su Mu, knowing that with just one word from Su Mu, he could raze the entire island to the ground.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Su Mu smiled faintly and said, "Now that we're here, let's see what kind of divine weapon Master Liu Bufan has forged."
Following the boy who was leading the way, they arrived at a beautifully constructed wooden building.
When they arrived, there were already dozens of people sitting inside the building, most of whom were at the True Essence Realm.
Within the first level of the Great Luo Nine Heavens, a True Essence Realm warrior is already a powerful figure, and a Core Formation Realm warrior is already an old monster. Going further up, one can ascend to the second level.
A group of True Essence Realm martial artists naturally couldn't see through the cultivation levels of Su Mu and his companions.
In their eyes, Su Mu and his two companions were nothing more than three unfamiliar True Essence Realm martial artists.
The crowd glanced at them briefly and then paid them no further attention.
Su Mu and his two companions calmly found a place to sit down, quietly waiting for Liu Bufan to appear with his divine weapon. (End of Chapter)
