“Your Sacred Martial Sect wants to recruit talents, but you should also consider the timing, right? Someone just sat down, intending to have a drink, and you directly invite them. Where is the respect?” The middle-aged man looked at the two men in tight-fitting combat attire, his words not very polite.
The man in tight-fitting combat attire frowned, “This is Sky Sword City. It’s none of Your Excellency’s business, so Your Excellency had better not meddle. Besides, to be valued by our Sacred Martial Sect is an honor, far more important than having a drink!”
“I’m very sorry! Judging by the looks of you two, I’m not interested in this honor.” Qin Chu spoke up. He didn’t like how domineering they were when recruiting talents!
Although the brocade-clothed youth didn’t speak, a look of disgust appeared on his face.
“I hope you don’t misunderstand yourselves.” The man in tight-fitting combat attire said coldly.
“You can leave. If your Vice City Lord wants to see someone, then go back and ask him if he needs me, Su Mu, to see him!” The middle-aged man flicked his robe sleeve, then called out to the waiter in the tavern for more wine.
Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, the two men in tight-fitting combat attire changed their expressions, then exited the tavern.
At this moment, the brocade-robed youth stood up and bowed to Su Mu, “Junior Qian Xun greets Senior Su!”
“If you’re not here to drink, then you can leave.” The middle-aged man, Su Mu, said after glancing at the brocade-robed youth, Qian Xun.
Qian Xun gave an awkward smile, then sat down. After sitting down, his eyes were fixed on Qin Chu. He didn’t understand why Qin Chu was still so calm at this moment.
“Young man, the wine and braised meat here are very good. Braised meat with wine is an absolute delicacy.” Su Mu said to Qin Chu.
“Then Junior will try it.” Qin Chu said with a smile.
In Sky Sword City, inside the City Lord’s Mansion, the guards who had gone to invite Qin Chu and Qian Xun reported to the Vice City Lord!
“Su Mu… why did he come? Don’t offend him. Pay more attention to those two youths, just observe them, don’t take any action.” The brocade-robed Vice City Lord of Sky Sword City spoke.
Qin Chu and Su Mu’s large wine bowls clinked continuously, while Qian Xun was a bit more reserved.
After a round of drinking, Su Mu stood up and led Qin Chu and Qian Xun out of the tavern, “The Sacred Martial Sect’s recruitment will provide you with some Cultivation resources, but it will also bring some restrictions. It just depends on how you choose.”
“I don’t need Cultivation resources provided by others, so I won’t choose to be recruited. But this is also troublesome, I need to prepare to run.” Qin Chu said with some helplessness.
“That’s right! If we don’t accept the recruitment, they definitely won’t make us comfortable.” Qian Xun also muttered.
Su Mu smiled, “It won’t come to that. The Sacred Martial Sect still cherishes its reputation. It’s just that some people below don’t know proper etiquette. If they really make things difficult for you, mention my name.”
Qin Chu cupped his fists at Su Mu, “Qin Chu thanks Senior for the guidance.”
“On the path of Sword Dao Cultivation, you must stick to your original heart. Never compromise when you shouldn’t. Follow your heart and your own ideas, and you will achieve success.” Su Mu patted Qin Chu’s shoulder and said.
“Senior, are you leaving now?” Qin Chu asked, looking at Su Mu.
“Yes, we will meet again if there’s a chance.” Su Mu waved to Qin Chu and Qian Xun, then left.
Watching Su Mu leave, Qin Chu turned to Qian Xun, “Let’s go to Cloud Come Inn. I’ll return your beast carriage.”
“Boss, you don’t know who Su Mu is, do you?” Qian Xun asked, looking at Qin Chu.
“Is Senior Su very famous?” Qin Chu asked while walking towards Cloud Come Inn.
Qian Xun looked at Qin Chu with a strange expression, “Boss, are you from a big mountain? Who among Sword Cultivators on the Sacred Martial Continent doesn’t know the name Ling Tian Sword Su Mu?”
“I don’t know!” Qin Chu said after glancing at Qian Xun.
Qian Xun was quite speechless. He followed Qin Chu to Cloud Come Inn, didn’t ask Qin Chu to return his beast carriage, but instead booked several rooms and stayed at the same inn as Qin Chu. Why several rooms? Qian Xun was different from Qin Chu. Qin Chu traveled alone, full from eating, no family to worry about. Qian Xun traveled with guards and maidservants.
Back in his room, Qin Chu slept soundly. After waking up, he washed up and left the room.
In the small garden in the inn’s backyard, Qian Xun was drinking tea. Seeing Qin Chu, he directly waved and greeted him, “Boss, have some tea!”
Walking over, Qin Chu glanced at Qian Xun’s guard, then sat down.
“Boss, I’ve already disciplined Xiao Zhu. He won’t be arrogant and overbearing anymore.” Qian Xun said to Qin Chu, Xiao Zhu being his guard.
“Arrogance and overbearing behavior easily cause trouble. It’s better to be calm and composed in everything you do.” Qin Chu said.
After drinking a cup of tea, Qin Chu stood up, “I’m going to buy some things in the city. You continue.”
Qian Xun directly followed Qin Chu. He was now extremely impressed with Qin Chu.
Arriving at a Medicinal Pill Pavilion, Qin Chu bought some Materials for Bigu Pills and Lingyuan Pills. This meant that the spoils of war he had obtained from previous battles and the Materials he had acquired in Misty Cloud Mountain were almost used up. There was no other way, transactions between Cultivators were not made with gold and silver, but with Materials through bartering.
“Boss, are you running out of Medicinal Pills?” Qian Xun asked, looking at Qin Chu.
“Hmm, but it’s fine. I have the Materials, I’ll just go back and refine them.” Qin Chu said. He wasn’t worried about his resources being insufficient. He had just seen that there was Sky Fragrance Grass for sale in the Medicinal Pill shop, but it only traded for Advanced Fifth-grade Materials. If he took out Sky Fragrance Grass, there would be no problem exchanging it for Fourth-grade Medicinal Pills, but he didn’t want to use Sky Fragrance Grass right now.
Thinking of Sky Fragrance Grass, Qin Chu thought of Zihuan. He didn’t know how Zihuan was doing now, or if she was getting along well with the Qian Dynasty and Qingyun Sect.
Back in the inn, Qin Chu took out his Pill Furnace and, to Qian Xun’s astonished gaze, refined a batch of Bigu Pills.
As the Bigu Pills came out of the furnace, Qian Xun first picked one up and looked at it, “Boss, are you a Fourth-grade Alchemist?”
“What do you think? Can a Third-grade Alchemist refine Fourth-grade Bigu Pills?” With a laugh, Qin Chu put the Bigu Pills into a Medicinal Pill bottle, then continued refining. After the Bigu Pills were finished, he moved on to Lingyuan Pills. He needed to replenish his consumption.
“Boss, which Sect are you from?” Qian Xun became curious about Qin Chu’s origins.
“Does that matter? If you keep digging, stay away from me!” Qin Chu glanced at Qian Xun. This wasn’t a joke. If Qian Xun really insisted on knowing his origins, Qin Chu would no longer associate with him. His current identity truly couldn’t see the light of day.
“I won’t ask, I won’t ask, alright?!” Qian Xun was a bit puzzled. It was just asking about his Sect, yet it was like stepping on Qin Chu’s tail.
After resting for a few days, Qin Chu planned to enter Sky Sword Mountain again to Cultivate. His Sword Intent had reached the Fourth-grade Middle Stage, and he could continue to temper it. Upon learning that Qin Chu was going to Sky Sword Mountain, Qian Xun also prepared to go with him.
