Chapter 771
Chapter 657: Surpa.s.sing Emperors, Not Unattainable
"I’ve also heard from a senior who has been reclusive for many years mention this. He said that there was a half human half pet many years ago whose nose was even more sensitive than a dog’s; he was an expert at finding spirits. Among us human experts, we don’t lack people who can fight against tribes, nor do we have people who are afraid of death so much so that they refuse to enter forbidden regions to seek breakthroughs. Instead, the reality is that spirits are just too hard to find. Often, people may slaughter for half a year and suffer heavy losses, but will only earn spirits that will only last one a few years, let alone increasing one’s strength. One would be lucky to not have lost strength.
I obtained this senior’s guidance, and the situation seemed slightly better. However, what this senior knew was limited. Forbidden regions are huge and definitely contain innumerable spirits. Tribe emperors are huge, and if one doesn’t know how to find spirits, one will still end up with a miserable death regardless of your strength.
That senior told me that with the half human half pet, one would become the world’s utmost expert at finding spirits. He told me that he’s still alive and hiding somewhere in our Western Region. The reason why I came back was partly to test my luck, and see if I could find this spirit expert… oh, also, this is a big secret." Chu Tianren carefully said.
Chu Mu was extremely astonished. It was no wonder that there were not many humans, despite there being numerous experts, who entered forbidden regions. Spirits were so hard to find, and killing could end up as useless.
Every tribe didn’t always have a spirit source, nor would every tribe stockpile a huge amount of spirits.
There was a high chance that slaughtering a tribe could only net one a month’s worth of resources. And if one’s luck wasn’t good and one attacked at the end of the month, one month’s resources would become even less. The only consolation would be inner crystals.
Unless one’s luck was suddenly extremely good, and one encountered an infant emperor or some hundred year spirit item, then that would be better. However, the chances of this were even lower.
"Can Third Uncle describe the approximate appearance of this half human half pet?" asked Chu Mu. He had already begun to guess what he was referring to.
"I’m not too sure either. I only know he’s got a small figure. Why? You seem to have seen him before?" Chu Tianren immediately asked.
At this moment, Old Li in Chu Mu’s spatial ring finally couldn’t sit still and hastily used soul remembrance to tell Chu Mu: "Young master, you absolutely cannot say that you’ve seen me before!!"
"Hmph, you old fellow still want to hide, eh?" Chu Mu silently sneered, and used soul remembrance to reply to Old Li.
"Young master, I will properly explain everything! But you absolutely cannot let people who know my real ident.i.ty know. This includes your family! Otherwise it will bring you a huge calamity!!" Chu Mu hastily said.
As expected, it was Old Li! He was the expert at finding spirits from the past century!
After Old Li gave his confession, Chu Mu was still greatly shocked!!
Although he had guessed that Old Li who had been accompanying as a servant wasn’t so simple, he never expected that he was such a hot figure among spirit emperors.
Having spent time with Old Li for so long, Chu Mu never expected this fellow to have some special skill aside from his plethora of knowledge.
Chu Mu had to respect Old Li’s wishes so he didn’t change his expression, and said to Chu Tianren: "I’ve never seen him before. I just think it’s very strange that there exists a half human half pet in this world."
"Haha, this world has many strange things. You haven’t been to many places, and naturally won’t know. I’ll go and look for him first. You can stay in the family and rest for the time being. When the time comes, we’ll depart. If we can’t find that person, we can only search ourselves." Chu Tianren didn’t really mind.
After speaking with Chu Tianren, Chu Mu left his courtyard and returned to his own place.
