<h4>Chapter 656: Searching for an Expert from the Last Century, Half Human Half Pet?</h4>


    Chu Mu was riding on his Night Thunder Dream Beast that had already reached the peak monarch rank. It ran along the wide main street towards Seven Color City’s City Lord Residence.


    Coming back after two months of training, Seven Color City had turned over a new leaf. Although it couldn’t be considered flourishing, it was in the early stages of bing like that. Chu Mu was very satisfied.


    The size of a city was often times determined by whether there wererge factions stationed there.


    Nightmare Pce, Soul Pce, Soul Pet Pce, Merchant Alliance, and Hunting Association...


    Merchant Alliance’s trade line was already established in the city’s bustling district. Presumably, Merchant Alliance had seen some business opportunity and nned on making money here.


    As for the omnipresent Soul Pet Pce, they had already upied a patch ofnd, and were beginning to open up to every soul pet trainer.


    Soul Pet Pce never had an entrance barrier, and one would be able to find them in many eighth rank cities. Soul pet trainers could also engage in exchanges in Soul Pet Pce regardless of status.


    Of course, being able to enter Soul Pet Pce didn’t mean one had the qualifications to join Soul Pet Pce, since the requirements to join were as strict as Soul Pce and Nightmare Pce. In reality, numerous people understood that the Soul Pet Pce that was established in this low ranking city was only a subordinated Soul Pet Pce. A true Soul Pet Pce was normally only found in kingdom rank cities.


    Equivalently, Nightmare Pce and Soul Pce were also missing from Seven Color City. These two factions would normally only establish themselves in kingdom cities or special cities.


    Arge city had to have all of therge factions in order to convince more soul pet trainers to reside in this city. If they could even make Hunting Association and Soul Pce establish themselves in the city, this meant that the city’s rank was high.


    If Seven Color City were to truly develop, then these factions had toe and set up shop here. This, in turn, would depend on the state of Seven Color City’s growth and whether Chu Mu had the resolution to go and attract these factions.


    ......


    After returning to the Chu Family residence, Chu Mu returned to this room. He washed himself and changed into clean clothing before heading to Chu Tianren’s residence.


    Chu Tianren was the Chu Family’s number one expert, as his strength was even higher than a third rank Kingdom Lord. However, he had no clue how to manage a city and had no interest in doing so. Therefore, the City Lord position went to Chu Tianheng.


    After Chu Mu went to Chu Tianren’s courtyard, he saw him an astronomy book.


    “Third Uncle, Chu He said you wanted to discuss something with me?” Chu Mu walked up to Chu Tianren and spoke.


    Chu Tianren didn’t look at Chu Mu but instead seemed to be talking to himself: “The fifth rank ice type crystallization is ground immortal ice. But will ground immortal ice reject the fifth rank absolute rock?”


    Attributes could reject each other and could bebined. For example, the Ghost King’s dark rock was thebination of its dark attribute and rock attribute. Chu Tianren probably had an ice rock type soul pet, otherwise he wouldn’t be researching this.


    “Ground immortal ice is found underneath ciers and innately is very closely tied with the rock attribute. The two can bebined; however, you must spend arge amount of money while training to do so.” Chu Mu thought that Chu Tianren was asking him the question, so he answered.


    Chu Tianren heard Chu Mu’s voice. Stunned, he looked up at Chu Mu and said: “How do you know?”


    Chu Tianren had already seen Chu Mu, and after knowing that Chu Mu was essentially a spirit emperor at such a young age and managed to kill the Kingdom Lord and Sun Qiming, his expression had be strange.


    Everyone knew that Chu Tianren and Chu Mu’s father, Chu Tianmang, did not get along. Yet, Chu Tianmang’s son ended up so abnormal that Chu Tianren was speechless after training for so many years.


    Of course, he was now much older and much time had since passed. Thus, he had gotten over their dispute. Chu Tianren actually admired Chu Mu, since he was so young, yet so strong.


    “I saw it in a book.” Chu Mu didn’t tell him Old Li had told him this. He continued to ask, “Third Uncle wanted to see me for this matter?”


    “Oh, of course not! I went to go see the spirit source you spoke of. It really does produce 3 thousand spirits every year. To a first or second rank Kingdom Lord, this is a huge treasure.” said Chu Tianren.


    “Yes.” Chu Mu nodded his head.


    “If my soul pets don’t fight, they need to eat 200 spirits every month. ording to my normal cultivation, I need about five hundred spirits every month, but this spirit source doesn’t produce even 300 spirits a month. At most, they will be able to appease your soul pets, while my soul pets will starve to death.” Chu Tianren was very straight forward.


    Having interacted with him over this period of time, Chu Mu got to know that while Chu Tianren was serious and callous on the outside, he was actually rather carefree, and sometimes spoke of irrelevant things. It was no wonder that young female servant by his side would often just babble on. She probably got it from Chu Tianren.


    “If they don’t fight, you’ll need 200 spirits. Third Uncle, how many emperor soul pets do you have?” Chu Mu was a bit shocked.


    “3 pseudo emperors, and one low ss emperor. A low ss emperor eats five times that of a pseudo emperor. Or in other words, five spirits a day. You can calcte yourself whether they need that much a month.” said Chu Tianren.


    After listening to Chu Tianren, Chu Mu finally understood how difficult it was to raise emperors.


    “I am a high ranking guest in Soul Pet Pce, and each month they will give me 50 spirits as pay. I don’t earn as much as Pce Lords. Normally, I head to tribes and ughter and steal things. Ever since I identally obtained a low ss emperor, I haven’t been able to stay idle in one ce... moreover, I have another pseudo emperor that’s about to be born. I’m really worried about that.” Chu Tianren continued to speak.


    Although Chu Tianren said he was worried, he also looked a bit pleased.


    One had to understand that with another pseudo emperor, one’s strength would greatly rise. Chu Tianren could also quintuple control and in the future, his main pets would beposed of solely emperors. He would be considered an incredible person inrge factions.


    If Chu Tianren was willing to settle down in Soul Pet Pce and be a Great Pce Lord, then Soul Pept Pce would definitely provide Chu Tianren the fees to raise his emperor rank soul pets. However, Chu Tianren enjoyed freedom and only stayed as a high ranking guest. Each month he would earn 50 spirits, which was practically nothing...


    “Then that’s a problem. After I reach the spirit emperor rank, arge group of my soul pets will reach the emperor rank.” Chu Mu bitterlyughed.


    When Chu Mu reached the emperor rank, the small Mo Xie would probably evolve from the ninth phase to the tenth phase, bing a true low ss monarch. That meant that Mo Xie’s everyday food requirements would be five times that of a pseudo monarch. In other words, five spirits a day.


    As for the Binding Wind Spirit and Devil Tree Battle Soldier, they were destined to be emperors. Chu Mu was about to enter the same circumstances as Chu Tianren, where he would consume a huge amount of spirits. For the time being, Chu Mu truly didn’t dare spend the remaining 10 thousand spirits.


    “A group of soul pets... could it be, after you killed the Kingdom Lord and Sun Qiming, you obtained arge amount of gains?” Chu Tianheng opened his eyes wide.


    Just now he was pretending to be worried as he unted his new pseudo emperor. Yet, Chu Mu’s words ended up shocking him. This was the first time he heard someone say that they had a group of soul pets that were about to be emperors!


    “They only had 3 thousand spirits, and the inner soul crystals from their two emperors.” Chu Mu shook his head.


    “Fine, you’re even more ruthless. At least you understand that Seven Color City provides quite a bit for normal spirit emperors. However, to the two of us, it’s still too little. Without a spirit source, I won’t be able to oversee this ce for a long period of time. At best, I will be able to head to Nightmare Pce’s Eternal Ocean to find resources. However, I don’t have any water type soul pet and will be disadvantaged in a fight in the water.” said Chu Tianren.


    “The forbidden region in Barbarian Mountain Range has a fourth rank tribe. You can head there, and you’ll be able to find an evenrger spirit source there.” said Chu Mu.


    Old Li had told Chu Mu that there was a spirit source there. Chu Mu himself was unable to determine where spirit sources were located, but Old Li was rather adept at this.


    Chu Tianren shook his head and said: “A third rank tribe is my limit. I can’t deal with a fourth rank tribe, which will have at least two low ss emperors. That would cost my life. Moreover, it would also have pseudo emperors and legions under the pseudo emperors. Ourbined strength wouldn’t be able to deal with them either.”


    “Then there’s only Great Broken Sting Valley.” said Chu Mu.


    “I was also nning that. We can’t get rid of Western Marsh, otherwise Seven Color City’s soul pet trainers won’t have a ce to train. We can go to the depths of Great Broken Sting Valley and afterbining our strengths, we’ll be able to get rid of a third rank tribe. After all, it’s impossible to kill all of the bugs in Great Broken Sting Valley.” said Chu Tianren.


    Chu Tianren indeed had the strength to fight against a third rank tribe by himself. However, the third rank tribe’s legion was very troublesome, and Chu Tianren would only be able to fight with the third rank tribe’s emperors, which normallyprised of a low ss emperor and three pseudo emperors.


    However, underneath the three pseudo emperors was the tribe’s legion which had the aggregate strength of about six pseudo emperors. The legion of six pseudo emperors would pretty much exhaust most of Chu Tianren’s soul pet’s physical strength. If it wasn’t because Western Marsh had dispatched its legion to Western Kingdom this time and the fact that Chu Tainren had taken advantage of this, he would not have been able to kill half of the third rank tribe without suffering injuries.


    Therefore in order to deal with the third rank tribe, Chu Tianren needed a helper.


    Chu Mu was originally nning on going to Great Broken Sting Valley to train. It was about time to raise Zhan Ye’s strength. If he worked with Chu Tianren, the two of them would be able to head to Great Broken Sting Valley.


    “The third rank tribe may not necessarily have a spirit source, and we may only end up with inner crystals. Therefore, we should find another person who can urately find a spirit source for us, and know how many spirits there are inside the tribe.” said Chu Tianren.


    “Then who are we going to find?” Chu Mu saw that Chu Tianren seemed to have someone in mind already.


    “urately speaking, it’s a half pet. I’ve heard before that he roams around Western Kingdom. I don’t know now if he’s still here, but we should still search for him. If we can find him and have him give us some suggestions, we won’t be wasting our effort. You need to understand that someone who knows spirit sources is much more valuable than another expert. Otherwise, we’ll just be going to a tribe and killing without profit.” said Chu Tianren.


    “A half human half pet?” hearing this, Chu Mu suddenly realized something.


    Old Li, who was hiding in Chu Mu’s ring, shivered from head to toe and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
