Chapter 213: Chapter 182: Recruitment_1

The purpose of these major powerhouses coming here was simple, they wanted to recruit Xu Mu.

In fact, since he defeated Gu Jianyi, knowing that he did not have any significant support behind him, some people started throwing olive branches at him. However, the conditions they offered were too low, so he immediately rejected them.

After he defeated Bai Yingwu, even more people tried to win him over, and the Shang Family was just one of them, not the only one.

However, the compensation proposed by Shang Lian at that time was indeed the highest. Not only did he offer a talented daughter to marry, but he was also willing to bear 30% of the resources needed for advancing to the Golden Pill stage.

While 30% might seem small, it actually represented a massive amount of resources once you calculated it all out.

Nevertheless, this was still not up to Xu Mu’s expectations.

The offers from the major factions who visited this time also did not meet his expectations.

In fact, the offers from some families were even lower than what Shang Lian had proposed the day before. Only the Cao Family and the Shang Family were able to match, willing to marry their talented daughters to him and provide 4.0% of the resources. The only downside was that Xu Mu would have to marry into their family.

If the price was right, marrying into a family could be manageable. Unfortunately, they weren’t offering enough.

“Thank you all for your generous affections, but I’ll have to think about it for a few more days!” Xu Mu laughed.

Those who came were shrewd, instantly catching the meaning behind Xu Mu’s words.

“Friend Xu, don’t mind me for being blunt, but there’s a high chance you’ll face Lu Baiyu or Qu Qingdream in tomorrow’s competition. You don’t really think you can win, do you?”

The representative from the Cao Family had a gentle expression, but inside, he was filled with sarcasm.

“The competition has not begun yet, everything is still possible, right?”

Xu Mu laughed.

“Then we wish Friend Xu all the best, may victory be yours!”

Seeing Xu Mu’s firm attitude, the others did not persuade further. Perhaps failing once might enlighten him, making him aware of his own worth.

Shortly after the factions left, just as Xu Mu was about to rest, Shang YaoYao sent him a message.

“I heard from Sister Luo that many people want to recruit you?”

“Yes.”

“And they want to marry their daughters to you?”

“Yes.”

“Did you agree?”

“I need to rest, I have a competition tomorrow, goodbye!”

“Wait, what do you mean? Can’t you explain…”

Xu Mu quickly kept the communication jade, he was not in the mood to talk with her.

“I should cut off contact with her in the future, it would be troublesome if the Cao Family found out!”

What Xu Mu hated the most was trouble. This was a serious deviation from his original intention, he came here to find treasures, not for romance.

“Darn jerk!”

Elsewhere, Shang YaoYao was so angry that she nearly threw her communication jade.

This jerk actually abandoned her after using her. It hasn’t been long since they last met, and he already disregarded her completely!

And he even thought of marrying other women, it’s simply unforgivable!!

Wait, what does him marrying other women have to do with me?

Shang YaoYao snapped out of her thoughts, wondering why she was so annoyed.

Once this competition is over, she won’t have anything to do with him.

Whether it’s to avoid suspicion or for other reasons.

No, he was nurtured by me, if he is going to pledge allegiance to anyone, it should be me. If others snatch him away, it would be as if they are stealing my peaches.

She had never made a losing deal in her life, and this time would be no exception.

She must find a way to secure him!

Early Morning.

Lonely Sword Peak.

Chirp Chirp!

A brilliantly feathered spirit bird was perched on a tree branch, tweeting. The noise woke Xu Mu from his sleep, he slowly opened his eyes, heaved a stale breath, and got up.

He walked out of his room and took a deep breath. The rich spiritual energy entered his lungs with every breath. It was easily refined under the operation of his spiritual power.

By the time he had cultivated his martial method to the Grandmaster stage, he had already activated the auto cultivation feature. Even when he reached the Transcendent stage, his cultivating speed would far exceed that of regular cultivators, even if he did nothing.

Otherwise, with his physical talent, he wouldn’t have been able to achieve Perfection in Qi Cultivation so quickly.

Although Shang YaoYao provided him with resources, it was still far less than what same-level disciples received. If Xu Mu hadn’t cultivated his martial method to the Transcendent stage early on, he wouldn’t have been able to keep up.

No one knew that he had already maximized all his skills in the first year he joined the Sect. The next nine years was simply a waiting game for him.

The reason was he didn’t want others to treat him as if he was a freak. Otherwise, his cultivation level would have already surpassed Shang YaoYao.
