Luo Mu then chopped off the heads of all the Demon Dao martial artists he had killed.
The first level of the True Aperture Realm was worth 5,000 contribution points.
Someone like Mo Luo was worth as much as 10,000.
Luo Mu calculated roughly, this trip had yielded nearly 70,000 contribution points.
“It’s really like making a killing by starting a fire and getting a golden belt!”
Besides the contribution points, these Demon Dao martial artists also had some resources, which were a bonus.
Because the number of heads was too great, they would have been an eyesore hanging from his waist.
So he put them all into Cheng Qing Man’s storage ring.
This was the first time Luo Mu had seen a storage artifact.
In the cultivation world, even the smallest capacity storage artifacts were very expensive, not something ordinary people could afford.
Because Jiang Hai was injured and couldn't travel for long periods of time, he had to stop and rest every half an hour.
Luo Mu didn't waste this rest time.
Not far away.
He began to practice his swordsmanship over and over again.
After killing Mo Luo, he had received a massive reward of 300 times the normal amount.
Among them, the massive amount of swordsmanship insights.
Had already let him put one foot into the door of the Sword Intent.
As long as he kept practicing, he would definitely be able to successfully comprehend the legendary – Sword Intent!
This was also the mysterious power that all martial artists dreamed of!
Any martial artist, as long as they possessed Sword Intent, their strength would completely change.
To put it simply.
At least a tenfold increase!
However, comprehending Sword Intent was incredibly difficult. In the entire Chang Le Academy, only the top ranked prodigies could possibly possess it.
The sun was setting.
The rays of the setting sun shone on Luo Mu.
He was completely absorbed, without the slightest distraction, immersed in his swordsmanship.
And the three of Cheng Qing Man were stunned.
“I can perhaps understand why this fellow disciple Luo could have mastered the ‘Lifeless Sword Scripture’ in such a short time.”
Jiang Hai said softly, “Besides his extremely high talent, he is also so… diligent!”
“Yes.”
Lin Ru Feng nodded.
After leaving the Demon Dao stronghold, whenever they rested, Luo Mu would always practice his swordsmanship alone in the distance.
He would never sit down to rest.
“There are many geniuses in the world, but the most frightening thing is those who are both talented and incredibly hard-working!”
Cheng Qing Man rested her chin on her hands.
Her beautiful eyes, like water, reflected Luo Mu’s tall and strong figure.
Her father had said.
Geniuses who don’t work hard, will sooner or later have their talents taken back by heaven. Only hard-working geniuses can reach the pinnacle of martial arts!
“Ding!”
“You have diligently practiced and completed the ‘Lifeless Sword Scripture’, triggering a critical strike, gaining 30 times the reward!”
A system prompt sounded in his mind.
Luo Mu’s lips curved into a slight smile.
This might be the most beautiful sound in the world.
——
As the sun set completely.
When the full moon rose in the east.
The group finally arrived at Xun Yang City.
The largest ancient city in Feng Du County!
The city walls were towering, nearly 100 meters high, the grey bricks were filled with the aura of time.
Old and weathered.
The existence of Xun Yang City could be traced back to the time when the Great Zhou dynasty was established, a long history.
Throughout the ages, countless heroes and outstanding figures have been born here.
So Xun Yang City had very deep roots.
There were many royal families within.
For example, the currently famous and powerful Blood Brave Marquis Cheng family.
Even though it was already dark, Xun Yang City was still brightly lit and bustling with activity.
In Cheng Qing Man’s words.
It was a city that never sleeps.
There were lanterns everywhere, and in the center of the city there was a long river, with water lanterns lining both sides, filled with ordinary people or martial artists who had come to join in the fun.
“This is a big city.”
Luo Mu nodded slightly.
As a devout cultivator, he naturally had never been to a big city like this.
But as lively as it was.
He had no interest in sightseeing.
He just wanted to find a quiet place to continue his cultivation.
Cheng Qing Man could see that Luo Mu was not very interested, so she led the way directly to the Cheng family.
It was not as luxurious as they imagined.
It was just a relatively ordinary marquisate.
“The miss is back!”
Soon, the sound echoed through the marquisate.
Then the sound of footsteps filled the air.
One by one, housekeepers and servants stood in the courtyard to greet them.
“Welcome back, miss!”
The housekeeper was an old man, although his hair was white, his eyes were bright and radiant.
His body also looked very strong and robust.
There were several deep scars on his face, most likely from the battlefield, where he had served as a housekeeper.
“Uncle Gong, has father returned?”
Cheng Qing Man asked.
“The marquis has not returned for three years, he has been away, recently the Imperial Capital has issued a new mission, requiring the marquis to handle it.”
Uncle Gong shook his head.
“The Imperial Capital again.”
Cheng Qing Man frowned.
There were so many marquis in the dynasty, why did they specifically target her father?
She had not seen her father for almost four years.
“Forget it.”
Cheng Qing Man sighed helplessly, “By the way, these three are my good friends, Uncle Gong must treat them well.”
“Yes.”
Uncle Gong nodded.
Then he looked at Luo Mu and the other three.
All of them were covered in blood, obviously they had just been through battle.
And it was a pretty intense one.
But what surprised him was that the boy who had a sword at his waist, only at the second level of the True Aperture Realm, was the one in the best condition.
Although his body was blood-red, he had no injuries.
It was clearly the blood of his enemies.
“Tonight, you will rest first, tomorrow I will take you to have a good look around Xun Yang City!”
Cheng Qing Man said with a smile.
Then she turned and left.
“The three of you, follow me.”
Uncle Gong said.
“Thank you.”
Luo Mu nodded.
Although this old man looked like an ordinary person, without any martial arts aura, in Luo Mu’s perception, he was like a quiet tiger, making people feel threatened.
It was obvious that he was deliberately concealing his strength.
He didn’t know exactly what his cultivation level was.
