Chapter 125: Chapter 112: Blood Refining Magic Treasure_2

Looking into the distance, he seemed to take in everything the world had to offer.

Not long into his flight, a small black spot entered his field of vision.

Xu Mu lowered his sword, drawing ever closer.

The black spot gradually grew larger, revealing its true shape: an island lush with greenery, in the shape of a gourd.

“It seems I’m on the right path!” Xu Mu muttered to himself.

To avoid drawing attention, he retracted his aura and slowed his speed of flight.

Peep!

A clear bird cry came from his right rear.

Xu Mu turned his head to look.

A small white dot was sharply closing in, judging by its path, it was heading to

the same island.

As the white dot came closer and more into focus, Xu Mu finally recognized what it was.

It was a giant, white seagull.

A monk in a green robe sat on its back.

The man in the green robe looked middle-aged, with sunken eyes, a thin face and his cloak flapping in the wind, giving off an eerie aura.

On his back, he had a massive sword, which had snapped halfway off.

Noticing Xu Mu’s gaze on him, he also turned to look

Only then did Xu Mu notice, the man’s eyes were bloodshot, looking as if he hadn’t had rest in a long time.

The robed man expressionlessly returned Xu’s gaze, his eyes lingering momentarily on the longsword beneath Xu Mu’s feet. He then turned away, signaled the white bird, and abruptly sped up, quickly surpassing Xu Mu and flying towards the center of the island.

Xu Mu did not pursue, and as he neared the island, he sheathed his sword and descended onto the rocky edge of the island.

He looked around to ensure there was no danger before taking a long stride, covered several meters in one step, and walked towards the center of the island.

Not long after, several flashes streaked across the sky, each one carrying a swordsman.

These swordsmen appeared to be headed towards the center of the island. However, upon noticing Xu Mu on the ground, they abruptly halted, pointed their swords downward, and flew his way.

Xu Mu’s eyes glittered as he stopped in his tracks, observing the approaching figures.

They were merely Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators and posed no threat to him. The men halted a few metres in front of him, then sheathed their flying swords and slowly descended.

There were three men and two women, all dressed in fairly outdated wizard robes.

One of the cultivators, dressed in a yellowish-brown robe, stepped forward with a smile, greeting Xu Mu with a bow.

“Are you a new resident in this area?” he asked.

“Indeed,” Xu Mu replied, returning the bow.

Due to the chaos in the Outer Sea, relocation of cultivators was fairly common, thus his recent arrival didn’t draw any particular attention.

Upon hearing Xu Mu’s reply, the cultivator in the yellow robe smiled even more broadly.

“I am Zhang Shu, may 1 know your name?”

“My surname is Xu.”

“Is Friend Xu interested in joining our hunting expedition for a monster beast? To be honest, we’ve recently discovered a baby Whimpering Beast and we desperately need more manpower. If you’re willing, we can offer immediate Spirit Stones, or share the profits evenly!” Zhang Shu explained hurriedly.

“Whimpering Beast?”

Xu Mu didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he recalled information about the Whimpering Beast in his mind.

The Whimpering Beast was a water-dwelling monster. It had a flat head, a long body, no scales, and mostly resembled an enlarged catfish. It typically lived deep in the sea and was named for its whimpers that sounded like a crying baby.

The meat of this creature was inedible, but its skin was a top-grade material for crafting armor.

Most importantly, its eyes were said to be used for refining special magical artifacts, which fetched a high price.

The Whimpering Beast was not only incredibly rare but formidable. A full-grown one had the strength of the Golden Core Stage.

With the strength of Zhang Shu and his group, they wouldn’t be able to take down an adult, but if it was still at its juvenile stage, they might stand a chance with the right strategy.

Zhang Shu and his group were most likely worried about the beast getting away, and hence they wanted to rope Xu Mu into their team immediately.

Given the circumstances, they saw Xu Mu as less of a threat and more of a potential resource.

Zhang Shu had initially thought Xu Mu would agree, given the value of a Whimpering Beast.

After all, cultivators living in the Outer Sea were usually audacious and would do anything for Spirit Stones. A free meal like this was hard to turn down.

If it weren’t for the fear of the Whimpering Beast escaping, Zhang Shu wouldn’t have risked inviting Xu Mu in the first place.

So he was surprised when Xu Mu, after a brief moment’s thought, shook his head in refusal.

Seeing Xu Mu refuse such an opportunity, a look of surprise crossed the faces of the group.

“Are you skeptical of our information, Friend Xu? If that’s the case, I can provide some Spirit Stones in advance. If the monster isn’t seen, you can leave anytime!” Zhang Shu quickly countered.

Xu Mu shook his head again.

“I have my matters to attend to. Maybe you should invite someone else!”

“Friend Xu…”

Zhang Shu wanted to continue pleading, but a female cultivator in a purple robe stopped him.

■Big Brother Zhang, let’s find someone else. If we keep waiting, it’ll be too late!”

“All right, then!”

Zhang Shu bowed to Xu Mu, and the group flew away towards the marketplace. From their conversation and behavior, their situation seemed genuine.

What a pity, Xu Mu simply didn’t think the potential reward was worth his time.

Xu Mu continued to walk towards the center of the island, unhurried..
