After browsing through the internet, Xiao Mu was surprised to find that a lot has happened in the last few days.
For instance, some people had found a strange treasure in the mountains, others had dug up ruins underground, some had even discovered an ancient temple. But what attracted Xiao Mu the most was this incident.
A team digging on Qiwu Mountain astonishingly unearthed an ancient tomb, and upon opening the tomb, found a Corpse King.
The Corpse King is a higher level existence than the corpse general, the title given to zombies who reach the fifth realm.
Even though the Corpse King was asleep, the deadly gas it emitted caused countless mutated beings that got close to it to die tragically.
In the end, a group of corpse generals took away the body of the Corpse King.
This piece of information sent shocks through Xiao Mu's heart.
Were even more formidable beings finally surfacing?
Before this, if we exclude the golden light that was wounded from forcefully charging into the Putuo Temple, the most formidable being he had seen was only at the peak of the fourth realm.
But now, a powerful being from the fifth realm had finally appeared.
The Fifth realm is the current limit in this world; it's the highest level that mortals can achieve.
Especially this time, the being from the fifth realm that appeared was a Corpse King, belonging to the evil absurdity. This caused Xiao Mu to feel deeply worried.
Once the Corpse King comes into the world, wherever it goes, rivers of blood are bound to follow, no one can block it.
In response to this incident, Xiao Mu felt that he had to increase his strength urgently.
As he sorted through his items, looking at the fragment of the flying sword and the treasure divine sword, Xiao Mu couldn't help but frown slightly.
He had promised Zheng Yun and Chen Wu, that whoever collected the required energy fruits first would get these items.
But several days had passed and neither of them had contacted him.
After thinking for a bit, Xiao Mu sent a message to both of them, telling them that if they couldn't collect enough energy fruits, he would stop waiting.
Shortly after, both of them replied.
Chen Wu said he had almost collected enough energy fruits to buy the fragment of the flying sword and asked Xiao Mu to wait a few more days.
Xiao Mu specifically asked about it and upon verifying that the other party had only collected nine energy fruits so far, he decided to stop waiting.
Zheng Yun had managed to collect eleven energy fruits, but was still nine short of the twenty needed to buy the flying sword fragment.
Upon Xiao Mu's request, Zheng Yun decided to compromise, giving up the flying sword fragment to buy the Treasure Divine Sword with ten energy fruits.
They made a separate appointment to carry out the trade.
Next, Xiao Mu went to the trading center. He wanted to sell all the extra materials he had, exchange all for energy fruits to enhance his power.
Once he arrived at the trading center, rented a stall, and started setting up his goods.
He took out one item after another from his bag, placing them on display at his stall.
It didn't take long for a crowd to form in front of his stall.
The mutated beings were taken aback as they looked at the wide collection of items on Xiao Mu's stall.
There were so many good items on this guy's stall.
That translucent, fire-red item that looked like a tomato with a small flame inside was clearly a Flame Fruit.
If you eat it, you can acquire flame special abilities.
And that white fruit, covered in frost, looking like a translucent peach straight out of a freezer, was evidently a Frost Fruit.
Once you eat it, you can gain frost special abilities.
There was also that grey, egg-sized fruit that resembled a dark-colored metal. It was obviously a Metal Fruit.
After eating it, one would become a person resembling Vajra.
...
The most abundant items on Xiao Mu's stall were these special ability fruits, with at least seven or eight in total.
Aside from those, there were also some medicinal fruits. A transparent, pigeon egg-sized red fruit was a Healing Fruit.
No matter how severe a wound, once you eat it, you would be instantly healed.
That gray-white, ping-pong-sized square fruit was instantly recognizable as a Starlight Fruit, capable of enhancing one's special ability level.
...
That's not all. In addition to these, there were various secret manuals, martial arts secret scripts, and special ability secret manuals, totaling about six or seven.
Besides, there were treasures, the most astonishing of which was a broken sword fragment.
Xiao Mu deliberately placed this piece last, in the safest and most important position.
"My God, that...that looks like a fragment of a flying sword!"
Someone gasped, recognizing the flying sword fragment in Xiao Mu's hand.
In fact, the flying sword fragment had appeared long ago. Red Thread Woman had one, and she relied on the flying sword fragment and the sword controlling technique to remain at the top among the mutated beings.
"What? A fragment of a flying sword?"
The person who heard the name of the flying sword fragment was shocked and pulled out his phone urgently to call people.
The fragment of the flying sword is not an ordinary object. Every mutated being who cultivates martial arts dreams of it.
Quite a few people took out their phones to call people. These were all members of big teams, at least those who were eligible to covet the fragment of the flying sword.
Someone was making small talk with Xiao Mu to casually inquire where all these treasures came from.
Xiao Mu responded to each one indifferently, without answering.
This attitude made the onlookers feel even more mysterious.
"A divine being, it's a divine being!"
"How could an ordinary person get so many treasures!"
...
"Boss, I'll take that flame fruit."
A sturdy woman in her thirties stopped in front of Xiao Mu's stall, her physique was like a wrestler's.
"Each attribute fruit can be exchanged for two energy fruits."
Xiao Mu quoted the price, "Normal fruits can be exchanged for one each."
"Deal!"
The muscular woman gritted her teeth and eventually took out two energy fruits to exchange for Xiao Mu's flame fruit.
The muscular woman was the leader of a small team. She has a younger sister who is an ordinary person and she intends to give her sister the flame fruit so she becomes a mutant.
The world is becoming increasingly unsafe, and ordinary people have completely lost their ability to protect themselves.
"Boss, why is there no flame fruit left?"
The muscular woman just walked away with the flame fruit, and a middle-aged martial artist ran over panting, holding two energy fruits in his hand.
"You're late, the flame fruit was just bought by someone."
Xiao Mu was very sorry for him.
The middle-aged martial artist had asked for the price not long ago, but hadn't decided to buy it on the spot, he hadn't expected that he was late because he went to gather energy fruits.
"Sigh!"
The middle-aged martial artist beat his chest and stomped his feet, his face was full of regret.
"You can try this frost fruit, its frost ability is not inferior to the flame ability."
Seeing this, Xiao Mu quickly recommended the frost fruit that was still on sale.
"Alright, I'll take this one."
The middle-aged martial artist didn't have a better option, so he compromised and chose the frost fruit.
This frost fruit was prepared for his son. He hoped that his son would become a mutant after eating the frost fruit.
With the emergence of the Corpse King, everyone was aware of the crisis and desperately wanted to increase their power and the power of their families.
Soon, Xiao Mu had sold quite a few things and had collected a total of nine energy fruits.
"Make way, everyone make way!"
Someone pushed violently causing the crowd to part.
Then, a tall, sturdy man walked in and came to the front of Xiao Mu's booth.
