Chu Mu told Xiao Xiao that he heard the two people talking to see the man named Kang on the other side of the Quiet Forest.
Xiao Xiao didn’t know much about it but she could go ask her brothers. They would definitely have more accurate news.
After not too long, Xiao Xiao brought back valuable news.
“The person with last name Kang is called Kang Ruodong. He’s a famous hunter within the Quiet Forest Fort. Many hunters follow his lead. We’re pretty certain that he’s one of the people that partic.i.p.ated in the crime. He also is loyal to some leader. However, for some reason, Kang Ruodong started gathering his subordinates near the Quiet Forest edges, as if preparing for something.”
“Is this Kang Ruodong an Immortal rank expert?” Chao Lengchuan asked.
Xiao Xiao shook her head, “I also heard my fellow senior students say that the immortal rank experts that partic.i.p.ated don’t dare to show their faces anymore, only daring to send subordinates they trust to continue to find the messiah tree seed.”
“Why is that?” Ye Wansheng was confused.
Xiao Xiao wasn’t sure either, but this was when Old Li chimed in and said, “It’s simple. This crime, when really looked into, is very severe. It relates to the extinction of one of the most ancient species in the world. If you said it in a more mystical way, it’s against the way of the heavens. If you don’t do anything about it, it’s ultimately helping the evildoers.”
“And, Divine Sect is at the highest position amongst humans. Though they remain silent, it doesn"t mean they won’t do anything. Many people that partic.i.p.ated in the event were a leader level figure. Divine sect didn’t want to touch these leader level figures but they still dare to bring judgement upon the immortal rank experts below them as long as they find complete evidence. And with so many people partic.i.p.ating, there must already be a few people divine sect found and have evidence for.”
“Immortal rank experts are all famous people in Wupan and Zhengming Continent. Divine sect and all other factions are still in the process of finding criminals. Any immortal rank expert daring to look for the Messiah Tree seeds openly will have to take the huge blame. Even the immortal rank experts that didn’t partic.i.p.ate didn’t dare hop into these murky waters in these trying times.”
Old Li’s words caused everyone to understand. On one hand, they understood why the seed was important but no one dared to look for it openly. On the other hand, they knew now that immortal rank experts were restricted by divine sect. This removed the biggest obstacle on Chu Mu’s search path. After all, immortal rank experts were people they still couldn’t go against.
……
After many days of staying in Luan City, Xuan Teacher Sun’s medicine boy sent over their xuan items.
After getting it, Chao Lengchuan was the first to be unable to hold back, “It’s perfect level ninth rank xuan item! This Xuan Teacher Sun truly is amazing!”
Chao Lengchuan’s Thousand Wave Beast was trained to 90%, near 100% already. If his signature soul pet couldn’t even beat a secondary of Chu Mu’s, Chao Lengchuan didn’t have the nerve to face them anymore.
And now with a near certain success rate xuan item, it means that as long as he strengthens his thousand wave beast normally, a top tier dominator rank thousand wave beast would be born. How could Chao Lengchuan, always yearning to get stronger, not be excited?
After getting the xuan item, Chao Lengchuan headed towards his room, not allowing anyone to disturb him.
“Look at him all excited, watch him fail.” Ye Wansheng said, feeling it beneath him to be so emotional.
Ye Wansheng’s xuan items this time were mostly prepared for his secondary soul pets. His main soul pets’ xuan items were all ready. They were all taken from cloud gate elder. Only the cloud gate elder was to blame, forcing Ye Wansheng to take him as master.
Ye Wansheng was the type to not know what the word “polite” meant. Since an old territory commander expert must have a lot in store, Ye Wansheng took whatever he needed without any shame.
His Empress Heavenly Thunder Snake was only 60% trained, Multi Colored Devil Tiger at 50%, h.e.l.lthunder Spirit at fifty percent, these three were his high cla.s.s dominator ranks. He was planning on strengthening them after they reached 70% or 80%. His Sword Beetle, Star Wilderness Devil Colt, and Ice Demon were secondary soul pets he could improve first.
Seemingly influenced by Chu Mu, Ye Wansheng no longer switched soul pets either. Though these commander rank soul pets were going to face restrictions when entering immortal rank, Ye Wansheng still planned on strengthening them.
Pang Yue got the most xuan items. Following Chu Mu often meant battling beyond her rank, so her soul pets’ training percent raised extremely quickly.
After getting xuan items, Pang Yue was extremely excited, her face rosy with excitement.
In New Moon Ground, high cla.s.s dominator rank was basically a leaders.h.i.+p character and beyond Teng Lang, Shen Mo, Xiao Hai, and even the loyal outsiders. Most importantly, she was a support soul pet trainer so her status was even higher than most same rank battling soul pet trainers.
Indeed, following Chu Mu, Ye Wansheng, and Chao Lengchuan was very beneficial. They’ve only been to Wupan Continent for a short while yet she was already a high cla.s.s dominator rank support soul pet trainer!
“Why are you staring at us?” Ye Wansheng rubbed his forehead as he looked uncertainly at the happy Pang Yue.
“Thanking you guys. If I trained myself, I don’t even know if I could ever reach this rank.” Pang Yue smiled dazzlingly.
“If you’re thankful, you can give your body to us!” Ye Wansheng said while laughing.
“Pff, I’d rather be Chu Mu’s side chick than marry you.” Pang Yue retorted without showing any weakness.
Aside, Chu Mu speaking with Xiao Xiao instantly started sweating. Pang Yue was at the very least a soul pet palace princess, what was she saying?
Pang Yue also went back to her room to strengthen her soul pets. Perfect rank xuan items still had a small chance of failure. If she didn’t succeed, Pang Yue was going to cry.
Chu Mu got the beast, bug main type with dark sub type eighth rank xuan item, pure ice type seventh rank xuan item, and wind type seventh rank xuan item used to strengthen Zhan Ye, Ning, and Qin.
All three xuan items were perfect quality. One must admit that Xuan Teacher Sun was truly an amazing xuan teacher. If anyone else made so much as a single perfect rank xuan items, they would be praised to the moon. Yet, xuan Teacher Sun managed to make them all perfect quality. This caused them to no longer worry about the possibility of failure.
In reality, with Old Li beside them, as long as they could spent time, they could find more xuan items so a failure in strengthening was only delaying their progress. However, for people that may spent ten to twenty years to find a single seventh rank xuan item, a failure in strengthening could mean they were never going to step into high cla.s.s dominator rank.
Zhan Ye was near 100% in training rate. Qin and Ning were both around 70%.
In reality, such a percentage was very unsafe.
Chu Mu originally was considering whether he should let Qin and Ning train more to ensure a 90% chance of success.
However, after the generous Xuan Teacher Sun only accepted their material fees and gave back nearly 50,000 xuan, Chu Mu threw that idea away.
With this many resources, why keep his soul pets around middle cla.s.s dominator rank? They should get straight to high cla.s.s dominator rank to fight stronger organisms!
Though it was a 70% chance of success, Qin succeeded but Ning failed. It could be because of Ning’s low species rank that hindered his success rate. This was something Chu Mu had seen before on books.
Ice type xuan items were rather mainstream. Luan City sold them. Chu Mu spent another 15,000 xuan to buy a high quality seventh rank ice type xuan item to finally push Ning into high cla.s.s dominator rank.
Chu Mu left Zhan Ye’s strengthening to the last.
Zhan Ye had three whole types. Such strengthening was very tiring and the soul remembrance guidance was much more complicated. Chu Mu needed to rest well before starting that strengthening.
……
“Chu Mu, I heard you failed in strengthening, congratulations.” Ye Wansheng greeted Chu Mu with smiles.
Chu Mu didn’t bother giving this delighted man any attention and turned towards Chao Lengchuan and Pang Yue.
“Stop acting, your delight is oozing off your faces.” Ye Wansheng said.
Chao Lengchuan and Pang Yue though were calm, their flas.h.i.+ng eyes sold out the excitement in their hearts. Without a doubt, they succeeded!
“Where’s Xiao Xiao?” Chao Lengchuan asked.
Everyone agreed that after they finished strengthening, they were heading towards Quiet Forest Fort City to find a lead on the seeds.
“Probably going to say goodbye to Xuan Teacher Sun.” Chu Mu said.
“She’s really joining us? Chu Mu, if my sister knew that you started hanging out with a woman that looks like her, what do you think she’ll think about it?” Ye Wansheng said.
Chu Mu glanced at Ye Wansehng. Why was he always full of trash?
“Hey, you all done? Can we leave now?” After not too long, Xiao Xiao rode her n.o.ble four winged flying horse to them.
“En, let’s leave.” Chu Mu looked at his map to see where the Quiet Forest Fortress was.
Through his soul pact, Chu Mu could also feel Ning Maner slowly heading in that direction…..
