Supreme Tamer

“Are you Chu Chen?” The youth asked with a friendly smile on his face as he saw Chu Mu approach.

“Yes,” Chu Mu nodded.

“I am Shang Heng, a disciple of Lord Yu and a Hall Official. My teacher asked me to come and assist you with your work,” said the self-proclaimed Shang Heng.

“Where is Lord Yu now?” Chu Mu asked.

“My teacher has other matters to deal with. I have some understanding of Shen Yicheng, what do you need from Lord Yu?” Shang Heng asked.

“I learned something from a member of Luo Yumen and wanted to discuss it with him,” Chu Mu said.

“Tell me then, the teacher has already informed me of the general situation,” Shang Heng said.

Chu Mu nodded and told Shang Heng some of the information he had learned from Du Chang, to see if Shang Heng could guess Shen Yicheng’s purpose.

“Jiang Zhi from Luo Yumen is probably just a pawn, not worth noting. From the fact that Shen Yicheng sent someone to inform him rather than going personally, it’s apparent that Jiang Zhi is just a minor character. However, Feng Kun from Soul Covenant is a rather difficult guy, quite strong. Besides, if Shen Yicheng is going to involve the people from Soul Covenant, there must be a special reason,” Shang Heng quickly began to analyze.

“Has the descendant of that hidden expert been found?” Chu Mu asked.

Shang Heng shook his head, “The other party has always been very cautious and careful. I don’t know how Shen Yicheng found them.”

“Then we can try to find them through Jiang Zhi from Luo Yumen. At least we can follow them secretly when they act,” Chu Mu said.

“Yes, I think so too, because I think Shen Yicheng might not personally take action and that guy has always liked to hide in the dark,” Shang Heng looked like he knew Shen Yicheng well. He tossed the crystal stone in his hand, thought for a moment, and continued, “In that case, we need to get someone close to Jiang Zhi and find out his movements today. There doesn’t seem to be any reliable people around Luo Yumen.”

“The Du Chang I mentioned earlier came to visit a senior from Luo Yumen. Find that person, and through him, find Jiang Zhi of Luo Yumen,” Chu Mu had already thought of a plan beforehand and had asked Jia Jing to bring Du Chang and Qin Meng’er to find the person they were looking for.

“So you’ve already devised a plan. Shen Yicheng would never think that we’d find the breakthrough in this case because of some fool from Luo Yumen,” Shang Heng laughed.

After discussing with Shang Heng, he went to find other young experts. To confront Shen Yicheng, the two of them alone would definitely not be enough, and they needed to find out how many young experts Shen Yicheng would deploy this time.

After Shang Heng left, Chu Mu remembered Jia Jing mentioning that Miss Tinglan was at the Central Hall Holy Book Library.

Chu Mu wanted the Wind-binding Spirit for himself, and he felt that he had to tell Miss Tinglan about it to avoid any misunderstandings.

“Young Master, the Holy Book Pavilion is where Soul Hall stores soul techniques. You have a chance to choose a free soul technique after reaching the Seventh Level title. You can take this opportunity to choose a soul technique to avoid any dangerous situation where you have to rely on your body to take the hits,” Fox Elder’s voice came.

Now that Fox Elder mentioned it, Chu Mu remembered that he had such a privilege. Soul techniques have always been incredibly expensive, and Chu Mu would rather spend money on his own soul pets than add any soul techniques for himself. Now he had the opportunity to get one for free, which was naturally a good thing.

“Fox Elder, do you have any good suggestions?” Chu Mu asked.

No matter what level a Soul Pet Master reached, their Soul Power was always very limited. The Soul Power needed to summon soul pets increased with the strength of the soul pets, which also led to Soul Pet Masters’ Soul Power always being scarce.

Similarly, the use of soul techniques was also extremely consuming, limiting Chu Mu’s ability to switch soul pets. He couldn’t easily use Eighth or Ninth Level soul techniques unless it was absolutely necessary.

Soul techniques were used infrequently, but being able to control multiple techniques could sometimes play a critical role.

Chu Mu was not very familiar with soul techniques, so he felt it was better to ask Fox Elder for recommendations.

“Go ahead, Young Master. I’ll explain the soul techniques when you see them, and then you can choose for yourself,” Fox Elder said.

Chu Mu nodded and headed towards the Central Hall Holy Book Library in Soul Hall.

The Central Hall Holy Book Library is the symbol of the entire central hall of Soul Hall. This pure silver library gives people a sense of being burdened with glorious history. Standing under the silver holy light, it is as if a wave of sacred culture is surging towards one, easily getting lost in this ancient and distant Book Sea Temple…

The security in the Central Hall Holy Book Library is very strict, even more so than the heavily guarded Wind-binding Temple Holy Land. Chu Mu went through multiple identity confirmations before entering, and only then would the Hall Guards truly let him pass.

Stepping up the stairs, entering the hall, and being bathed in silver light, Chu Mu had always been very interested in places containing vast knowledge of soul pets. Now that he had settled down in Soul Hall, Chu Mu felt that he should take more time to broaden his theoretical knowledge.

“The first floor is filled with books, open for any to read. The second floor is filled with forbidden books, requiring a certain status level to read,” Fox Elder explained.

“Why are there forbidden books?” Chu Mu asked puzzledly.

“Naturally, the world is vast and there are countless soul pets that humans cannot explain or have not recognized. Even on this land that we know of, there are many unsolved mysteries, such as Young Master’s experiences, the origin of Prison Island God, the background of Layered Sky Mysterious Realm and the strongest creatures, the existence of Heavenly Boundary Monument, the forbidden domains at the south end of West Region, and the Bone Giant Mural under the Second Tier Final Glory… These mysteries do have literature related to them, but no authoritative answers have been found yet, so these books are classified as forbidden in order to avoid chaos,” Fox Elder explained.

“What level do I need to reach to be able to view them?” Chu Mu asked excitedly.

Ever since he was little, Chu Mu enjoyed listening to the mysterious stories of the mainland while lying on his father’s lap. He used to think that his father, Chu Tianmang, had made up these stories to entertain himself, but now it seemed that these might have been Chu Tianmang’s own experiences that were told to Chu Mu in a child-friendly manner. Chu Mu indeed wanted to know everything about these mysterious places and whether there were even more mysterious soul pets lurking there!

“Young Master at your current level, you can’t see them. Only Level Ten qualifies.” Soon, Fox Elder doused Chu Mu’s enthusiasm with a splash of cold water and brought him back to reality.

In fact, the examples Fox Elder mentioned all required top-notch strength, and Chu Mu could only wander in the known Mysterious Realms…

“What is the Bone Giant Mural under the Second Tier Final Glory?” Chu Mu asked.

“I already said, it is an unsolved mystery, and even if you ask me about the Heavenly Boundary Monument, I wouldn’t be able to answer either,” the Fox Elder replied impatiently.

“What about Prison Island God?” Chu Mu deliberately brought up this topic.

Chu Mu remembered that when he first mentioned the Prison Island God, Fox Elder had deliberately changed the subject and seemed very uneasy.

“I don’t know, I really don’t know, Young Master, don’t waste time here. Hurry up and find that girl, then pick a Soul Skill book and leave.” Fox Elder was impatient.

Chu Mu knew that pressuring Fox Elder would not produce an answer, so he turned to ask about the whereabouts of Ting Lan, the temple servant inside Central Hall Holy Book Library.

Walking over to the window, Chu Mu quickly saw Ting Lan half-leaning on a book couch, holding a Soul Pet book in both hands and carefully studying it.

As she was half lying down and dressed rather tightly today, her figure looked seductive and captivating beneath her beautiful and noble clothes. It was evident that many people’s eyes around her were not on their own books…

“Ting Lan.” Chu Mu walked up to Ting Lan and called out to her.

Realizing it was Chu Mu, Ting Lan seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to continue talking this way, so she stood up with a gentle smile on her face and said, “Young Master Chu.”

“Just call me Chu Chen.” Chu Mu always felt the current way of addressing each other was weird.

“Alright then, after I left your place today, an elder told me that juvenile Wind-binding Spirits are actually released in the place where they were originally captured, so there’s still a great chance to obtain this soul pet…” Ting Lan said.

“Lord Yu has already told me.” Chu Mu nodded.

Ting Lan stretched her hand out to hand Chu Mu a Soul Capture Ring and whispered, “This is a Soul Capture Ring with an Eighth Rank Advanced Stage Wind-binding Spirit. I currently don’t have a chance to enter Wind-binding Temple, but I think Young Master Chu has an opportunity to enter. I would like to ask you to release this Advanced Stage Wind-binding Spirit after you enter, and if you find the juvenile Wind-binding Spirit, please sign the Soul Pact yourself. I believe that Young Master Chu needs a Soul Pet like this. It will be more helpful to Young Master Chu.”

“Actually, when I went to capture the Wind-binding Spirit initially, it was because I wanted it for myself. I just did not understand the rules of Soul Hall.” Chu Mu honestly told Ting Lan his original intention.

Ting Lan was stunned for a while, not responding for a long time. Her bright eyes gazed at Chu Mu…(.)
