Chapter 878 A good deal
While Lin Mu and Gu Zhenhao were talking, the results of the competition on the nine-seat battle stage were also coming to fruition one after another.
In this first round of competition, the strength was mixed. There were five battle platforms, and the battles all ended quickly. Only three battle platforms were more time-consuming, but the winner was already determined.
In eight of the battle stages, no one died, not even the cultivators who were seriously injured.
After all, this is the first round. All cultivators are very clear about their own strength. If you can win, try to win. If you can't win, give up as soon as possible and save your energy to cope with the next competition.
The two hundred and forty cultivators who lost will have a competition next. As long as they are not ranked at the bottom fifty, they can still get a mine.
The winning cultivator can participate in the second round of competition.
The second round of competition will begin in three days.
During these three days, the two hundred and forty defeated cultivators fought with each other to select the last fifty cultivators.
These cultivators were already defeated and had no time to rest, so they directly participated in the competition among the defeated cultivators. If they were injured, it would be almost impossible to win the mine again.
Therefore, losing in this first game is not considered a desperate situation. On the contrary, if you feel that you can't win, you will decisively admit defeat so that you can preserve your strength and cope with the next competition.
All the competitions on the eight battle platforms were over. Only the sixth battle platform where Lin Mu and Yulin were located suffered heavy casualties.
Yulin, whose cultivation was already infinitely close to the middle stage of integration, fell directly!
"I didn't expect that you could really defeat Yulin, and you only used one move!" Gu Zhenhao said, "I'm willing to admit defeat, so don't worry, I will definitely give you the mine I owe you. you."
Lin Mu smiled and replied: "I was just joking with you. Not to mention you, anyone else would not believe that I could beat Yulin before the competition started, let alone in three moves." Defeating him is simply impossible.”
"To be honest, I don't have much confidence myself." Lin Mu said with a smile, "The reason why I made this bet with you is because it is difficult for me to get 30 billion spiritual stones. With this bet, I I will definitely go all out and strive for victory. This bet is mainly to motivate myself, but I didn’t expect Yulin to be so arrogant. I really dare not to mobilize the power of heaven and earth. I am so lucky.”
"Luck is also a part of strength." Gu Zhenhao said seriously, "If it were other cultivators, even if Yulin didn't mobilize any power of heaven and earth, they would still be completely tortured by Yulin. And you killed Yulin with one sword, strength is more important here !”
"That makes sense." Lin Mu unconsciously touched his nose and said.
"Don't worry, I will definitely give you this vein. As long as you can defeat two opponents in a row and enter the third round, you can get two veins." Gu Zhenhao said, "A hundred years ago, I defeated two opponents in a row. I defeated two opponents and obtained two mineral veins. Now, a hundred years have passed and my strength has improved a lot. Not to mention defeating three opponents, I entered the fourth round and obtained three mineral veins. Maintaining the original level, I still obtained two mineral veins. In short, It can be done, right?”
Gu Zhenhao said it very seriously.
Originally, he regarded Lin Mu as a peerless genius and wanted to make friends with him.
But just as a peerless genius, it is difficult to achieve much in a short period of time.
Although Blue Star Jade Slips are very profitable, they do not have great strength and can easily be coveted.
He believed that with Lin Mu's mind, he would be able to take this into consideration and would not sell in large quantities for the time being.
Unexpectedly, Lin Mu easily killed a mid-level fusion cultivator in the first round of the mineral vein competition. It seemed effortless, as if he had not used 60% of his 100% strength.
With such extreme strength, coupled with the prospect of misty fairyland, the amount of spiritual stones he will earn in the future will definitely be beyond imagination.
It is certainly impossible for a peerless genius like Lin Mu to spend a lot of time on operating mineral veins.
As long as he has a good relationship with Lin Mu, Lin Mu will definitely rely on him for these things in the future.
Therefore, he owns one ore vein, and there is not much difference between the two veins.
Lin Mu has more mineral veins, so he can benefit more.
This time he was willing to admit defeat and simply gave Lin Mu a vein of minerals. This would undoubtedly bring him and Lin Mu closer together. Which mine owner could compete with him in the future?
"I didn't know before that cultivators with two mineral veins can choose their opponents at will." Lin Mu apologized, "I used one of your mineral veins, causing you to lose the opportunity. I am already very sorry. The previous gamble Just treat it as a joke."
"How can this work?" Gu Zhenhao said seriously, "One yard equals one yard. When we bet, we bet on two veins of minerals. You have already missed one. No matter what, I will definitely give you this vein of minerals. "
Seeing that Gu Zhenhao was determined, Lin Mu couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
A mineral vein could earn tens of billions of spiritual stones over a hundred years. After Gu Zhenhao lost the bet, he was still very straightforward and willing to give him a mineral vein.
People with such credibility are already rare.
When he made a bet with Gu Zhenhao, he was indeed half serious and half joking.
But now that Gu Zhenhao insists on giving it to him and is determined, if he refuses again, it will look hypocritical.
Besides, where can I find such a good thing?
"How about this? If you can defeat three cultivators in a row and enter the fourth round, you can get at least three veins." Lin Mu pondered and said with a smile, "As long as you can enter the fourth round, this You can’t give it to me even if you want to give it to me!”
"In case you unfortunately lose in the first round, even if you show off your strength later and are not ranked at the bottom fifty, you will only be able to obtain one vein, and the quality is very average. If you use this only vein It was given to me, wouldn’t it be too pitiful!” Lin Mu joked, “I don’t like this kind of mineral vein.”
When Gu Zhenhao heard this, he weighed it in his mind and nodded in agreement with a smile.
If he can defeat three cultivators in a row, enter the fourth round, and give Lin Mu a vein of minerals, he will not lose anything compared to before.
If you can't do that, then you can only keep these two veins of minerals for yourself as before.
For long-term considerations, Gu Zhenhao decided to give it a try.
Let’s see if we can make it to the fourth round this time!
"Then it's a deal." Gu Zhenhao agreed with a smile, and then flew towards the fifth battle platform with a relaxed look on his face.
The elder in white on the fifth battle platform was calling his name and that of another cultivator in the integration stage.
Lin Mu went to the fifth battle stage to watch Gu Zhenhao fight.
The surrounding cultivators are densely packed, the sky and the earth are crowded.
But when many cultivators saw him coming, they all smiled and made way for him.
Many practitioners in the integration stage were smiling and nodding to him.
Along the way, many cultivators took the initiative to strike up conversations and fawn over them, but Lin Mu dealt with them with a smile.
Gu Zhenhao's competition with a cultivator in gray began soon.
This can be called a battle without any suspense.
From the beginning, Gu Zhenhao had the upper hand, but he did not press forward step by step, but slowly dealt with the cultivator in gray.
During the fighting, the cultivator in gray clothes used several powerful killing moves one after another, but Gu Zhenhao calmly defused them all.
After a while, the cultivator in gray clothes saw that he could not attack for a long time, and was suppressed by Gu Zhenhao. He could not resist. Knowing that his strength was far different from that of Gu Zhenhao, he immediately signaled to the elder in white clothes to simply admit defeat and save his energy to deal with tomorrow's battle. .
Gu Zhenhao succeeded and flew off the stage with a smile on his face.
"It took a long time, but I finally got it!" Gu Zhenhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.
"You are much stronger than the gray-clothed cultivator. It can be clearly seen." Lin Mu said with a smile, "If you explode with all your strength, he will definitely not be able to withstand it and will give in soon!"
"If you push too hard, it's easy to miss. If you get angry, it will consume more energy. It's better to fight steadily like this. He knows he's outmatched and will soon give up." Gu Zhenhao shook his head and said, "I'm sure you can't step on me." The flying sword can't catch up with you, it can be said that you can kill the middle stage of the fusion with one sword, and there are not many people in the entire Splendid World who can do it."
"Don't belittle yourself. I'm just lucky. This is your real strength." Lin Mu asked with a smile, "Are you sure of entering the fourth round this time?"
"I think it's very suspenseful!" Gu Zhenhao said with a smile, "My current strength is only slightly better than the average cultivator in the integration stage. The second round of competition will take a lot of effort. The third round of competition is my limit. Once, I lost in the third round and only got two veins.”
While the two were talking, they flew outside and returned to Yuelai Inn.
"I believe that after a hundred years, your strength will have greatly improved." Lin Mu said with a smile, "There is a great hope of passing the third round and entering the fourth round this time."
"A hundred years, for mortals, is as long as a lifetime, but for us cultivators in the integration stage, it is a fleeting time, very short." Gu Zhenhao said helplessly, "You also know that the further a cultivator goes, the more his strength improves. Slowly, in just a hundred years, my strength has indeed improved, but it has only improved to a limited extent. Whether I can successfully pass the third round this time really depends on my luck. "
Lin Mu nodded lightly.
He knows very well that according to the current rules, the first five rounds are drawn randomly. Who the opponent is and how strong they are really depends on luck.
If you had the opportunity to enter the top sixteen and participate in the wheel battle, but you met the strongest person in this mineral vein conference before, you could only be eliminated unjustly!
Not only does Gu Zhenhao depend on his luck, but he himself will depend on his luck next.
Now that Sui Xin Sword has not been promoted to the peerless spiritual treasure realm, if he encounters a late-stage integration cultivator, he is likely to fail.
"In the second round of the battle between the two hundred and fifty-six cultivators, if their luck is not too bad, they probably won't meet the ten or so strongest people." Lin Mu said with a smile, "As long as you don't meet those masters, the competition will actually be good. In terms of cultivation, there is not much difference between you. The outcome will depend on your swordsmanship, how you exert the power of heaven and earth, and the power of the flying sword."
"Indeed." Gu Zhenhao nodded repeatedly.
"Swordsmanship and how to maximize the power of heaven and earth are difficult to improve in a short period of time. They rely on accumulation over time. However, I am confident that I can help you improve your flying sword power quickly!" Lin Mu smiled. road.
"Rapidly increase the power of the flying sword?" Gu Zhenhao asked in surprise.
In his opinion, the most difficult thing to improve is the power of the flying sword. This requires thousands of years and tens of thousands of years of tempering and tempering. The speed of improvement is simply much more difficult than cultivation.
"Not only the power of the flying sword, but also your spiritual realm, I can help you quickly improve it." Lin Mu said with a smile without hiding anything.
If Gu Zhenhao can successfully enter the fourth round, he will get a mine.
Cultivators who can enter the fourth round will obtain mineral veins of good quality.
A mineral vein, over a hundred years, can yield tens of billions of spiritual stones!
This deal is still a good deal!
