Chapter 838: No Choice
"Keep your word!" Xu Jiao smiled.
"I will take you there after I refine the Sui Xin Sword into a peerless spiritual treasure." Lin Mu agreed happily.
"You might as well not say it!" Xu Jiao was discouraged and stamped her feet. "If you don't want to, don't promise. Do you think I am as easy to deceive as Xing Yu?"
Lin Mu touched his nose, feeling embarrassed, and then smiled and said, "Since I said it, I will fulfill my promise. When have I ever lied to you?"
"You really didn't lie to me. You did everything you said." Xu Jiao was a little speechless, "But how easy is it to refine a peerless spiritual treasure? How many peerless spiritual treasures are there in the entire Jinxiu world?"
"You don't believe me?" Lin Mu asked seriously.
"Of course I believe you." Xu Jiao said bluntly, "As long as you want to do it, you can definitely nurture and refine the Sui Xin Sword into a peerless spiritual treasure, but the time spent in the process must be long, and it depends on whether there is such an opportunity. Even if you are extremely talented, you may not be able to nurture it within a hundred years. After such a long waiting time, I am afraid that I will forget it by then. Isn't it the same as not saying it?"
"You are just telling the truth." Lin Mu laughed, "In the entire Jinxiu world, even if the peak cultivators of the Fusion Stage try their best, they are not sure to nurture a peerless spiritual treasure. This is indeed a fact. But I am different from them. I have Piaomiao Fairyland."
"Didn't I nurture my Five Elements Magic Mirror into a peerless spiritual treasure before?" Lin Mu said with a smile.
"You were just lucky that time. You should know it better than anyone else." Xu Jiao was still angry and exposed Lin Mu.
"I was really lucky that time!" Lin Mu admitted without changing his expression, "At that time, there were only a million cultivators in Piaomiao Fairyland, and the number of cultivators tempering their spiritual consciousness there was not large. At that time, there was no illusion trial, and the accumulation of spiritual consciousness in Piaomiao Fairyland was extremely slow. By chance, I was able to nurture the Five Elements Magic Mirror into a peerless spiritual treasure.
Now, all ten Feixian Palaces have been successfully built. We are working hard to make the jade slips for reception. Soon, nearly ten million cultivators will enter Piaomiao Fairyland. At the same time, there are a large number of cultivators tempering their spiritual consciousness here, and there are even more cultivators participating in the illusion trial. With a spiritual consciousness foundation that is ten times greater than before, I have the confidence to nurture a peerless spiritual treasure without any luck!"
"Don't brag." Xu Jiao said contemptuously, "Don't you think I don't know? Your transcendence is self- When my illusion first came out, it was indeed popular for a while. In Qianjin City, it was quiet and few people came out. A prosperous city actually felt deserted. I am proud of you for being able to do this! I also had a good impression of you at that time, and I also entered the illusion to challenge it several times, but that was in the past. What about now? "
"You had more than just a good impression at that time, right?" Xingyu said while making the jade slips for receiving and guiding, "That was because you were so addicted to it that you didn't even care about making the jade slips for receiving and guiding."
Xu Jiao blushed and whispered to Xingyu: "Don't interrupt, why are you so stupid, who are you standing on the side of?"
Xing Qing supported Xu Jiao: "You are right, Xiaoyu, don't talk anymore."
"Oh." Xingyu didn't understand why, so he shut up immediately and made the jade slips for receiving and guiding with peace of mind, not caring about it.
"Now Qianjin City has returned to its past state. The city is bustling with cultivators coming and going. It can be seen that most cultivators no longer challenge the illusion." Xu Jiao puffed out her chest and asked, "What do you have to nurture and refine the Sui Xin Sword? Don't fool me, I'm not stupid!"
Lin Mu had a headache. He once again felt Xu Jiao's difficulty, so he had to follow her wishes and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"I am a reasonable person and will not argue with you." Xu Jiao smiled and said, "Then I will give you a three-month deadline. If you can nurture a peerless spiritual treasure by then, it would be the best. If you can't nurture it, we will also go to the Endless Star Sea."
Lin Mu was crying when he heard this.
He was completely defeated.
Just now, Xu Jiao said that he wanted to nurture and refine the Sui Xin Sword into a peerless spiritual treasure, but it might not be successful in a hundred years. Now he only gave a three-month deadline.
Is this called being reasonable and not being unreasonable?
Three months is just a blink of an eye for cultivators like them who have a lifespan of a thousand or even tens of thousands of years.
If it was before, Lin Mu had no confidence that he could do it within three months.
But now, Xu Jiao's words aroused his arrogance. Why is it impossible?
He wanted to try!
He had just deliberately boasted. What nearly ten million cultivators? There are only four million cultivators in Piaomiao Fairyland now. He would have to make at least five or six million jade slips of guidance, and then sell them all. His newly created secret cave exploration fantasy is popular from now on. How much spiritual consciousness can he accumulate in three months?
Xu Jiao's move was too cruel.
"Do you dare to agree?" Xu Jiao stared at Lin Mu and said, "I know you don't dare."
"Don't provoke me. I promise you." Lin Mu touched his forehead and said helplessly.
After Xu Jiao pestered him for a while, he felt more tired than fighting a big battle.
It was too torturous.
"I knew you wouldn't dare!" Xu Jiao thought Lin Mu refused and was about to ridicule Lin Mu, but suddenly she realized that Lin Mu actually agreed to her unreasonable request. She looked at Lin Mu in surprise and asked, "You? Are you okay?"
She only knew that this was an unreasonable request and Lin Mu would never agree to it.
But she just wanted to argue with Lin Mu and pester him for a while, which made her feel extremely satisfied and happy.
Unexpectedly, Lin Mu really agreed. She was a little unprepared and didn't know how to continue.
"Are you surprised?" Lin Mu asked with a smile.
Xu Jiao nodded repeatedly.
"Xing Qing is right, you are right, I should indeed take you to the Endless Starry Sea for a tour." Lin Mu said apologetically, "If it weren't for you working day and night, enduring endless boredom and loneliness, and making so many jade slips, Piaomiao Fairyland would never be like this now. I should have taken you out to have fun and celebrate."
"But I haven't." Lin Mu said helplessly, "I was busy with the tribulation before, and I succeeded after going through untold hardships. I just returned to Qianjin City and found that I was targeted by major forces again. I could die at any time. I had no choice but to develop my own strength and power more quickly. How could I have free time, but I know that I owe you."
"So, I said that as long as I nurture a peerless sword, I will not be afraid of anyone, and I can take you to the Endless Starry Sea and have fun." Lin Mu said emotionally, "I also want to be free and unrestrained, and travel around the three thousand worlds in the world. This time it will last for three months. Regardless of whether I can nurture it successfully, I will take you to the Endless Starry Sea."
After speaking, he turned and left.
Xu Jiao and Xing Qing stood there in a daze, and then their eyes became moist.
"We're not going!" Xu Jiao suddenly murmured to Lin Mu's receding back.
