Chapter 286: Chapter 255 Sparring_1

“…”

Fairy You Lan fell silent, and Elder Jin, standing behind her, also showed a shocked expression.

It was not surprising to them that Xu Mu would encounter the attacking cultivators, as their investigations suggested that the cultivators were likely hiding in Chi Zhou Prefecture.

However, the fact that Xu Mu claimed to have dealt with all the attacking cultivators was a bit unbelievable to them.

After all, those cultivators were not weak in strength and were extremely cunning and scheming. It was by no means easy to destroy them.

Seeing their disbelief, Xu Mu didn’t say much. He directly took out the bodies of the attacking cultivators from his storage pouch and placed them before the two.

He had been staying in Chi Zhou Prefecture for over a year, and had long taken the opportunity to bring these bodies out of the small space.

Originally, he was worried about how to hand over these bodies to gain merit.

A few of these cultivators had reached the Golden Core Stage, including two that were at the middle stage of Golden Core. As a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, it would be a bit inappropriate for him to hand them over all of a sudden. If his real cultivation level was exposed, it would certainly cause some problems.

Even if it could be resolved eventually, it would be quite troublesome. The appearance of Fairy You Lan, in a way, solved his urgent need.

Looking at the neatly arranged bodies in front of her, Fairy You Lan confirmed several times that these were indeed the culprits she had been after.

But even though the bodies were in front of her, it was still hard to eliminate all the doubts in Fairy You Lan’s mind.

“Did you do this by yourself?” Fairy You Lan asked.

“Yes!”

The more lies about this kind of thing, the more troublesome. Xu Mu simply admitted directly.

Fairy You Lan and Elder Jin communicated with their divine intent for a while before she said, “Friend, your origin is somewhat improper. If you report it directly, I’m afraid there will be a lot of troubles. I have a compromise here. I wonder if you’d like to hear it?”

“I would like to know more.”

“Why don’t you let me take credit for this time, and I will compensate you with treasures of equal value!”

This mission was of great significance to her. If possible, she would like to keep it in her own hands.

For Xu Mu, this was just a simple achievement, but for Fairy You Lan, it was a great experience.

Although Xu Mu had never experienced such a thing, he had been living for many years in two lives and could see it at a glance.

He pondered for a moment, then said, “It’s not that I don’t want to agree, but I plan to live here in the future, so I want to use these merits to get a title, which will facilitate my actions.”

“What level of title does friend wish to exchange for?” Rather than giving up directly, Fairy You Lan asked first.

“At least an Earl, I think!”

With Xu Mu’s cultivation at the Golden Core Stage, only the status of an Earl would be suitable.

Upon hearing Xu Mu’s words, a smile appeared on Fairy You Lan’s face.

“That’s easy! The merit from this operation is enough to exchange for four or five Earl titles. When I report it, I just need to include you, give you a supportive merit, and it’s easy for you to get an Earl title!”

Xu Mu thought about it and felt that this method was not bad.

“If that’s the case, I have no objections. However, I do have a small request.”

“Friend, don’t hesitate to say.”

“If possible, I hope the princess can give me a formal identity, and how should the treasures on these people be handled?”

“The identity can be established easily with my guarantee! As for the magical treasures and storage pouch on these people, they must be handed over as evidence, but I will estimate the market price and compensate you with Spirit Stones.”

Fairy You Lan’s arrangements were very sound. After thinking about it and feeling that there was no problem, Xu Mu nodded.

Then Xu Mu took out the magical treasures and representative items he had collected from these people and exchanged them with Fairy You Lan.

Fairy You Lan estimated a rough Spirit Stone price and settled with him.

Following this secret transaction, Xu Mu inevitably developed a bit of goodwill towards this princess.

After the transaction was completed and the details were discussed, Fairy You Lan put away her things and said, “I have a small request, and I hope friend can agree.”

“Please speak, princess.”

“I would like to have a discussion with friend, would that be OK?”

“…”

Xu Mu’s eyes flickered and he took a sip of tea.

He could probably guess that she wanted to take this opportunity to test his strength and probe his depth.

Xu Mu’s mind was full of thoughts, but he finally nodded.

In the future, there would be many opportunities to deal with each other. If he hid his talents too much and made her cautious all the time, it would be difficult to act in the future.

“Thank you, friend! This way please!”

Fairy You Lan stood up and led Xu Mu to a venue specially used for practicing skills. The venue was protected by formations, allowing both of them to let go.

Elder Jin stood on the outside of the field, preventing others from approaching.

“I practice the fire Martial Method, which is of dual cultivation nature. Friend needs to be cautious!”

“I too practice dual cultivation, no need to show mercy when making your move, princess!”

“Oh! I’m indeed looking forward to this.”

A smile appeared in Fairy You Lan’s eyes, the next moment she formed a command hand seal, her aura suddenly changed, revealing a murderous aura. A white jade-like Fangtian Huaji appeared in her hand, and a set of ferocious armor appeared on her body.

In just a few breaths, the refined beauty had turned into a killing god.

A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Mu’s eyes, he hadn’t expected her to cultivate such a weapon.

I’ve always wanted to learn a method to use the large Sky-splitting Halberd, and perhaps I can find a breakthrough from this woman.

Xu Mu thought to himself.

While thinking about this, he wasn’t slow with his moves. He cast the Space Grasp Skill and summoned eight arms.

“What kind of Skill is this? I’ve never seen it before.”

Seeing the arms condensed by Xu Mu using the Space Grasp Skill, surprise appeared in Elder Jin’s eyes. He had lived for hundreds of years, and this was the first time he had seen such a Skill.

Fairy You Lan had a gleam in her eyes. She was the first to attack. Her figure disappeared from where she stood, and when she reappeared, she was above Xu Mu, swooping down with her large Fangtian Huaji.

Xu Mu didn’t dodge but shouted in a loud voice, with eight arms forming fists simultaneously, they moved like a wave towards the Fangtian Huaji that was smashing over.

The two collided with a bang, sounding like a thunderclap on a clear day and shaking the ground.

“I really underestimated this kid!”

Elder Jin praised inwardly.

He could feel that both of their attacks had reached the late Golden Core Stage, but Xu Mu’s attack was even stronger.

The use of Skills and magical treasures for a showdown truly surprised him, Fairy You Lan’s eyebrows even frowned slightly.

Even though it was just a discussion, as a princess, she didn’t want to lose to a Loose Cultivator. Although she guessed that Xu Mu’s strength would not be weak, she was also confident in her own abilities.

After the strike, Fairy You Lan did not stop. The large Halberd in her hand seemed to turn into countless dragons, attacking Xu Mu.

Similarly, Xu Mu was not polite either. The eight arms turned into endless shadows of fists, punching the air into a vacuum, colliding head-on with Fairy You Lan without fear.

Neither of them used any other methods, they just fought hard against each other.
