Chapter 539: Chapter 411: Cooperation with the Wind-binding Spirit
No Wind Zone, still as quiet as a place out of this world, hidden in a corner of the world, protected by the strongest winds…
When Chu Mu stepped into the No Wind Zone again, his feeling was completely different from before. Last time, he had entered this Holy Land purely as an accompanying viewer, but this time, Chu Mu would have to spend a long time in here to refine himself and his soul pets once more.
When Chu Mu entered the Wind-binding Sanctuary, the Holy Guard Leader explained to him that due to the abundance of soul pets in the Windy Zone and Strong Wind Zone, the cleaning done by the Holy Guards has caused the danger level to be much higher than before. Even soul pet masters with Level 8 t.i.tles might not be able to obtain soul pets safely in the Wind-binding Sanctuary.
Therefore, Wind-binding Sanctuary had lifted its ban on killing, meaning Chu Mu could now kill within the Wind-binding Temple and gain spoils of war.
The lifting and establishment of the ban on killing orders is a control-based adjustment Soul Hall imposes on the sanctuaries. Wind-binding Sanctuary is a world, which if too strong, Soul Hall members would not be able to draw any benefits from it. If resources become too scarce, it also loses its significance. Thus, once the soul pets within the sanctuary grow overly abundant to areas that were originally safe, Soul Hall will allow Holy Guards to intervene and lift the ban on killing to suppress the breeding agitation within the Wind-binding Sanctuary.
Wind-binding Sanctuary had delayed its opening due to the recent dramatic increase of powerful soul pets in the Wind Zones making it almost impossible for soul pet trainers to join. Only after a month-long cleanup by Holy Guards had the sanctuary barely returned to its original state.
Since the Wind-binding Sanctuary is vast and without boundaries, the cleanup done by the Holy Guards would always have some omissions. Those remaining soul pets would then be handed over to Soul Hall members who entered the Wind-binding Sanctuary for cleanup.
Chu Mu originally planned to capture a Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit before continuing to train in the Eighth-level Mysterious Realm. After all, there were no restrictive rules in the Mysterious Realm. After learning that the ban on killing was lifted, Chu Mu decisively decided to train in the Wind-binding Sanctuary, for there were no mysterious realm resources more abundant than those of Soul Hall’s Holy Lands.
Chu Mu’s upcoming tasks would be quite heavy as well.
First, Chu Mu had to elevate Mo Ye’s Combat Power Level to Intermediate Monarch level and reach the Ninth Stage!
Mo Ye should be relatively close to the Intermediate Monarch Combat Power Level at present. Under normal circ.u.mstances, if Chu Mu were to purchase a 100 million-priced Spirit Item, Mo Ye’s Combat Power Level should reach Intermediate Monarch.
However, to break through from the Eighth Rank Advanced Stage to the Ninth Stage, a 200 million priced Spirit Item would be the minimum.
Considering this, Chu Mu would definitely need to prepare 300 million in order to enhance Mo Ye’s strength to the Ninth Stage and Intermediate Monarch status!
Next, Chu Mu had to equip Zhan Ye with the complete set of equipment.
The Full-state Offensive Soul Equipment would cost 100 million. Upon equipping this offensive soul equipment, Zhan Ye’s combat power level would also reach Intermediate Monarch. As long as Zhan Ye could fully utilize its Limb Regeneration and Courageous Sting’s Heart abilities, its outbreak power might even be more terrifying than Mo Ye’s under Moonlight Ning.
Following that, Chu Mu had to raise the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s Combat Power Level from Quasi-monarch to Low-grade Monarch. Night Thunder Dream Beast was also one of Chu Mu’s soul pets that had a high hope of reaching the Ninth Stage. Thus, Chu Mu also had to prepare 200 million worth of Spirit Items to elevate the Night Thunder Dream Beast’s stage to the Ninth Stage.
Calculating all this, at least 250 million would be needed.
As for the purchase of materials for Ice Element Spirit Items, Chu Mu estimated that it would cost him 200 million. This 200 million, apart from being used to strengthen Chu Mu’s own body, could also be used on the Ice-Feathered Spirit. Chu Mu believed that after the 200 million baptism, the Ice-Feathered Spirit might even reach the Ninth Stage!
Lastly, Ghost Dome King and Demon Tree Warriors still had no specific attributes that needed to be amplified. So, Chu Mu only had to strive to raise all his soul pets to the Eighth Rank, Ninth Stage – Low-grade Monarch level.
With such strength, Chu Mu’s power would barely be on par with Ting Lan’s previous level. However, Chu Mu believed that Ting Lan’s strength would undoubtedly improve in the following time. Whether Chu Mu could truly stand out and excel in the Strong Ones of the Second Tier would still depend on him masterfully handling the strong fighters in the Second Tier.
Of course, to reach this level, Chu Mu had to make sure he earned a full 850 million to take on such a huge challenge. Chu Mu himself was unsure if he could truly obtain such a large sum of money.
…
Windy Zone
Summoning the Night Thunder Dream Beast, Chu Mu remembered the direction he took previously with Ting Lan and gradually approached the Windy Zone.
When Chu Mu entered the Wind-binding Sanctuary, the Holy Guard reminded him that all he had to do was to wander around the Windy Zone area. The Strong Wind Zone likely had many ferocious Wind Element Soul Pets, making it more dangerous than some Ninth-level Mysterious Realms. With Chu Mu’s current strength, entering that area would leave him with almost no hope of survival.
For the time being, Chu Mu had no plan of entering the Strong Wind Zone. His primary task was still to capture the Juvenile Wind-binding Spirit.
With memory as his guide, Chu Mu began to navigate the Windy Zone.
As the Holy Guards had mentioned, the frequency of soul pets appearing in the Windy Zone had indeed increased significantly. Chu Mu did not face as much obstruction on his previous trip with Ting Lan and Li Hen.
…
“There are obvious signs of battle in this area. The Tenth Stage Wind Element Soul Pet should have been cleaned out by now, right?” Chu Mu gradually approached the Wind Pit.
More wind pits appeared near the wind pit, presumably caused by level 10 wind-type skills…
“Young Master, rest a.s.sured, in most cases, creatures of that level won’t appear in wind zones, otherwise, those members of Soul Hall wouldn’t even think about obtaining soul pets,” said Fox Elder.
Chu Mu nodded and patted the Night Thunder Dream Beast with his hand, letting the Night Thunder Dream Beast release its demon spirit perception ability to search for the juvenile wind-binding spirit.
“Jing~~~~~ Jing~~~~~~~~~~~”
It seemed that the eighth rank advanced stage wind-binding spirit sensed Chu Mu’s return to this wind zone and let out an excited scream, eager for Chu Mu to release it.
If Chu Mu were to release the eighth rank advanced stage wind-binding spirit now, he would have a hard time guaranteeing that it wouldn’t interfere with his capture of the juvenile wind-binding spirit, so he let it wait for the time being.
“Jing~~~~~ Jing~~~~~~~~~~~~”
The wind-binding spirit kept sending its voice into Chu Mu’s spiritual world, hoping Chu Mu would release it.
“Ning, ask it what its relationship with the juvenile wind-binding spirit is,” Chu Mu said.
“Li~~~~~~~” The ice-feathered spirit, as an elemental spirit clan soul pet, could communicate with the wind-binding spirit to some extent, and soon began to inquire about the eighth rank advanced stage wind-binding spirit in its own language.
During the communication process, the ice-feathered spirit also constantly informed Chu Mu of the bits and pieces of information it learned from the eighth rank advanced stage wind-binding spirit, serving as a translator for Chu Mu.
“It won’t hinder us from getting the juvenile wind-binding spirit, right?” Chu Mu asked.
“Li~~~~~~” the ice-feathered spirit replied affirmatively.
Wind-binding spirits, like humans, have no power to stop other wind-binding spirits if a juvenile wind-binding spirit has been stripped of all its defenses and ultimately chooses to sign a soul contract with a human.
Since Chu Mu respected the choice of the wind-binding spirit, it also respected Chu Mu’s choice and the choice of its own clansmen. This was made clear by the eighth rank advanced stage wind-binding spirit.
“Then come out,” Chu Mu also believed that the wind-binding spirit would not play such boring tricks as lying, and immediately recited a spell to release the wind-binding spirit from the soul-catching s.p.a.ce.
“Jing~~~~~~~~~~~~”
The small figure of the wind-binding spirit slowly appeared, and a faint wind wrapped around its body, protecting this favored child of the wind from approaching enemies with ill intentions.
Back in its territory, the wind-binding spirit seemed very excited. In this windy zone, its strength could increase by one more level, with combat power equivalent to a ninth rank lower stage intermediate monarch. Under such conditions, it would be difficult for Chu Mu to subdue it again.
Instead of causing trouble for Chu Mu, the wind-binding spirit circled around him several times, enjoying the wind’s embrace, then gently landed on the head of the Night Thunder Dream Beast, and waved its crystal-clear arms, making a sound like a wind chime as if to tell Chu Mu something.
“Do you want to help me find that juvenile wind-binding spirit?” Chu Mu asked tentatively.
“Jing~~~~~ Jing~~~~~~~” The wind-binding spirit let out a series of sounds.
“Don’t worry, if it’s absolutely unwilling, I won’t kill it. At most, I’ll catch it to sell,” Chu Mu said.
“Jing! Jing!!!” The wind-binding spirit understood Chu Mu’s words and cried out angrily.
“Ning, tell it that it’s a fair trade. Unless it can help me find other intermediate monarch-level juvenile wind soul pets, even if I can’t sign a soul contract with that juvenile wind-binding spirit, I’ll still sell it. The lowest price for a wind-binding spirit in Soul Hall is 500 million,” Chu Mu instructed.
Ning quickly played the role of translator and conveyed Chu Mu’s intentions to the wind-binding spirit, regardless of whether it could understand or not.
“Jing~~~~~ Jing~~~~~~~~” the wind-binding spirit replied quickly.
“Do you know where juvenile monarch-level soul pets and wind-element treasures dwell? Do you need my help?” Chu Mu asked.
“Jing~~ Jing~~~” the wind-binding spirit nodded energetically.
“I can help you, but I need a huge amount of funds. If helping you will result in a large sum of money, I don’t mind cooperating with you,” Chu Mu said.
Since Chu Mu didn’t have a specific target in the wind zone, and the eighth rank advanced stage wind-binding spirit promised benefits for helping, Chu Mu thought it was worth a try…
