Chapter 737: Chapter 607: Chu Family’s Seven Color City, Hidden Disaster Dangers

With Chu Mu’s current speed, if he directly rode the Night Thunder Dream Beast, he could probably reach the Chu Family in about a month.

However, Chu Mu chose a mountain range that no one in the Zhanli Realm and West Region dared to traverse.

The mountain range was the West Zhan Mountain Range, a genuine vast Mysterious Realm. The resources in the mountains were abundant, and the stages of various soul pets were very high. Clans also had an excessive number of members, and one could easily encounter soul pet groups of hundreds or even thousands.

A good Mysterious Realm should have a certain hierarchy so that soul pet trainers of different levels could practice. This mountain range belonged to a region between the two realms with an extremely irregular distribution. If one did not have enough strength, crossing would be a life-or-death gamble.

Since Chu Mu planned to find spirit items suitable for elevating his soul pet to the Peak Monarch Level by himself, the abundant resources of this mountain range served as an excellent place for Chu Mu to practice.

…

Chu Mu’s training was different from other soul pet trainers, as most trainers would avoid encountering groups of soul pets.

Chu Mu, on the other hand, delved into areas densely populated by clan groups. If a battle didn’t involve thousands of participants, Chu Mu himself would feel somewhat unsatisfied.

After all, the West Region and Zhanli Realm were minor territories with very few high-level soul pets. Chu Mu naturally had to rely on quantity for his soul pets to gain sufficient battle experience.

One month quickly passed, and Chu Mu had obtained a level 10 wood-element soul crystal, which was perfect for strengthening the Demon Tree Warrior.

Of course, having obtained the spirit item, it wouldn’t necessarily improve the Demon Tree Warrior if it were strengthened right away. At least two more months were needed, or else the level 10 wood-element soul crystal would be wasted.

During this month in the mountain range, Chu Mu frequently had the Little Hiding Dragon take on creatures with weaker stages. Every time the Little Hiding Dragon fought, Mo Ye would be by its side, acting as a bodyguard to prevent any accidents.

Through continuous battles, the growth of the Little Hiding Dragon was rapid. By the time Chu Mu left the mountain range, the Little Hiding Dragon had reached the 8th stage.

Chu Mu had estimated that it would take two months for the Little Hiding Dragon to reach the second rank, but it had reached the first rank and 8th stage within just one month, showing the effectiveness of continuous combat.

…

One month later, Chu Mu stepped into the land of the West Domain in the West Region.

West City was the Domain City of the West Region, and after emerging from the mountain range, Chu Mu started to inquire about the Chu Family’s whereabouts.

Since the Chu Family managed to expand their business to the Zhanli Realm, they surely weren’t as simple as an eighth-level city family. By now, they should have gained some renown in a level 10 city.

As expected, after some inquiries, Chu Mu quickly learned that there indeed was a Chu Family in the West Region, which was considered a top-tier family in the area. They even had businesses in the West Domain City.

The person managing the businesses in West City was none other than Chu Lang, who had participated in the clan competition with Chu Mu back then.

Chu Lang was an easygoing person with strength among the top of the Chu Family’s younger generation. It was said that he had a high ranking among the young generation in the Western Region as well.

The upgrade of soul pet stages and levels relied on continuous combat practice and the assistance of spirit items. If the Chu Family had indeed grown their businesses significantly, their younger generation should have gained quite a few resources, and their strength must have greatly improved.

Chu Family’s business in West City dealt with crystal stones, which were somewhat equivalent to soul crystals in value. Soul crystals were worth more than gold coins and never devalued. Although Chu Mu didn’t have a deep understanding of the economic industry, he knew that the Chu Family’s ability to monopolize the crystal stone business meant they were far beyond the small family from the eighth-level city they used to be.

It seemed that relocating the family was a very wise decision, as the family was now thriving and growing rapidly.

Chu Mu arrived at the central street and quickly found a four-story crystal stone shop.

As soon as Chu Mu entered the store, a friendly shop assistant rushed over and said fluently:

“Welcome, our store has all kinds of elemental crystal stones available. The first floor has levels one to two crystal stones, the second floor has levels three to four crystal stones, the third floor has levels five to six crystal stones, and the fourth floor… I don’t know what level of crystal stone the customer needs, but we guarantee a satisfactory price…”

“Is your store’s manager Chu Lang?” Chu Mu asked directly.

Chu Mu was no longer interested in items within the level 10 system unless they appeared in large quantities.

“Yes, Young Master Chu Lang is on the fourth floor. If the customer has a big deal to discuss with Young Master Chu, I can report it immediately. If it’s other matters, I’m afraid the customer will have to wait for a while.” The shop assistant was quite good at speaking.

Of course, the shop assistant primarily noticed the noble and beautiful little Nine-Tailed Fox on Chu Mu’s shoulder. With such an appearance, this soul pet must be incredibly expensive, so this person must also be someone of high status.

Chu Mu thought for a moment and remembered that he had gotten quite a few soul crystals and crystal stones from his slaughter in the mountain range, so he might as well dispose of them now.

“I have thousands of soul crystals and crystal stones to process. Take me upstairs.” Chu Mu said indifferently.

The shop assistant was stunned, “Thousands?”

Without daring to ask further questions, the shop assistant hastily led Chu Mu to the fourth floor, thinking to himself: A big customer has arrived!

Chu Mu climbed up the staircase, and by the time he reached the third floor, he picked up the sound of a man’s voice through his soul sense.

“Sigh, it’s not that easy. I didn’t fully agree with the decision to establish our clan city in Seven Color City. The entire Western Region knows that city is prone to disasters. Our family already spent so much money defending against those things. Although the profits are high, the risks are simply too great…”

“There’s no other way. Our clan’s rapid rise depends on the resources of Seven Color City. Now that there’s a problem, we have to solve it.” The voice of another man came through.

As the two speakers seemed to have heard footsteps, they stopped talking.

Upon reaching the fourth floor, Chu Mu immediately spotted Chu Lang, dressed in green clothes. Chu Lang was sitting in a chair with a dozing Winged Soaring Tiger beside him, probably around the 8th or 9th stage.

Next to Chu Lang was another older man. Chu Mu couldn’t recall his name, but he was likely a side branch member like Chu Lang.

“This friend…” Chu Lang stood up, stared at Chu Mu, and was about to properly greet him when he was surprised to find this handsome young man in white clothes looked extremely familiar.

Chu Mu showed a smile. Upon entering West City, Chu Mu had Fox Elder change his appearance back. Although years had passed, Chu Lang certainly wouldn’t forget Chu Mu’s face.

Indeed, Chu Lang’s expression gradually changed from confusion to astonishment and joy!

“Chu Mu, it’s you!” Chu Lang exclaimed, rushing over hurriedly.

“It’s me. Chu Lang, long time no see.” Chu Mu greeted him and shared a solid hug with Chu Lang.

“It really is you! I… I…” Chu Lang was so excited that he didn’t know what to say.

After wiping out the Yang Family, Chu Mu had proposed to relocate. Since then, the clan members hadn’t seen him appear again.

Chu Lang had initially thought that Chu Mu, who had flown higher and further, would never return to this small clan. But he didn’t expect Chu Mu to return, surprising and delighting Chu Lang.

After catching up, Chu Lang eagerly introduced the young man beside him to Chu Mu.

The young man’s name was Chu Shenghua, a side branch disciple. After relocating to the Western Region, his performance in the clan had been very outstanding. Now, he served as Chu Lang’s second-in-command, assisting Chu Lang in managing the crystal stone business in West City.

“Chu Lang, what did you mean just now about the hidden danger in Seven Color City?” Chu Mu quickly moved on to the main topic.

“Ah, I was just about to tell you.” Chu Lang patted his head and promptly told Chu Mu about the problem faced by the Chu family.

It turned out that after relocating, the Chu family chose Seven Color City as their clan city.

Compared to Gangluo City, Seven Color City was a ninth-level city, with more resources, territory, and connections. Even the domain cities in the West had to purchase rare resources from it.

Because of this city, the Chu family flourished more and more, and their strength grew increasingly formidable.

However, there was a huge problem with this city: frequent disasters.

These disasters didn’t refer to scarce resources like grain but similar to scourges like Zhehuang, where large numbers of soul pets recklessly destroy human cities and occupy human resources.

This phenomenon is common, and Seven Color City just happened to have more than its share of bad luck, getting looted by certain “tribes” every few years.

At the moment, the Chu family had just developed for a few years before encountering a massive disaster. If they couldn’t resist it, they would certainly be heavily injured.

“Young Master, if it’s Seven Color City, then it’s close to the spiritual source I mentioned. Most likely, the frequent disasters are due to the existence of this spiritual source.” Fox Elder’s voice floated through Chu Mu’s mind.

Fox Elder told Chu Mu that the spiritual source was extremely concealed and had a vast one-time output, with huge gains every month afterward!

The resources in the Western Region were scarce, with only about 100 spirits produced each month.

However, Fox Elder informed him that the spiritual source had existed for many years, possibly producing thousands of spirits in a single instant. Future monthly production wouldn’t be any less either. If Chu Mu could seize that spiritual source and manage it well, he wouldn’t have to worry about supporting an Emperor-level soul pet, even if he just stayed at home.

In every region, resources to strengthen Emperor-levels were extremely limited. The Emperor-level problem of the Wind-binding Spirit was already solved, and the Demon Tree Warrior could be enhanced with the Emperor Wood Element Soul Crystal.

Chu Mu still had Ye, the Ice-Feathered Spirit, Ghost Dome King, and White Nightmare Demon. These soul pets needed to reach the Emperor-level, and the only way to strengthen them was through spirit items.

Emperor-level spirit items were rare, and Chu Mu had no idea where to find them. Thus, he could only acquire a large number of spirits.

Spirits were like the currency of Emperors. Possessing them would allow Chu Mu to exchange with other Soul Emperors. So, Chu Mu needed to acquire enough spirits to feed his soul pets and enough to exchange for the spirit items that could enhance Emperors.
