Free Web NovelChapter 2037: Chapter 2037: The Immortal Clan’s Invitation! Herb Collecting Servant! Scornful Rejection!
"Friend Mu, as you head to the Central Domain this time, do you have any plans, or are you planning to join someone?"
The elder casually asked Mu Jinyu while downing a cup of wine.
Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyu realized that this was his probe, thought for a moment, and shook his head, "No, I’m just looking to explore and see what the Central Domain is like. I haven’t decided on any plans once I get there!"
Of course, he couldn’t possibly tell them that he actually already had a plan. Once in the Central Domain, he intended to go to the Divine Race’s territory and then find a way to compete for the Divine Essence.
To say that aloud would be too shocking!
And they probably wouldn’t believe it anyway!
Most importantly, if any of them here carried the bloodline of the Divine Race and were preparing to head to the Central Domain to serve the Divine Race as a servant, revealing this would alert the Divine Race unfavorably.
"Oh? No plans?"
Hearing Mu Jinyu’s response, the elder and a few other Creation Realm cultivators exchanged a peculiar look in their eyes.
Then the elder, cheerfully smiling, said, "If that’s the case, Friend Mu, why not join us? We can look out for each other and have some company!"
"Travel together?" Mu Jinyu raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Yes!" The elder nodded lightly, his tone somewhat proud, "I’m heading out this time to join my clansman-uncle. He, several decades ago, arrived in the Central Domain and found himself near a cave residence of a powerful Immortal Clan member. Due to his decent talent, the Immortal Clan master did not kill him but took him in as an alchemy apprentice. I intend to join him there!"
"Currently, the Immortal Clan master happens to need quite a few servants and subordinates, so I’m gathering people to go. Those around us here have agreed to go see my clansman-uncle’s place!"
"Friend Mu, I see you’re young yet already at the early stage of the Life-and-Death Realm. I assume your talent isn’t bad. If you’re willing, I could take you along. Perhaps if luck is on your side, you might also be noticed by that Immortal Clan master and taken in as a herb collecting servant!"
The elder spoke in a tone filled with pride and temptation.
To Mu Jinyu, his words felt absurd and uncomfortable.
Although he had long known that in the Canglan Realm, many humans served foreign races as beasts of burden and considered it an honor, until now, he had only heard of it and never truly seen it himself.
At this moment, seeing the elder proudly speak of becoming a servant to that powerful Immortal Clan member, Mu Jinyu was completely outraged.
He really was at a loss for words!
Why would someone debase themselves so much?!
To reject being a proper human and instead choose to become a dog for a foreign race?!
However, it’s said that each has their own aspirations. Mu Jinyu couldn’t just kill them because they wished to become dogs for the Immortal Clan!
After all, this was a rather prevalent trend in the Canglan Realm.
Some people felt that cultivation was too dangerous and unrewarding. Rather than cultivating quietly in a corner, they might prefer finding a powerful foreign race to rely on as their backing.
Initially, this trend was looked down upon, but as those royal clans grew increasingly prosperous, the disdainful opinions slowly disappeared.
People began to see this behavior as normal.
As Mu Jinyu pondered silently, his heart sorrowful.
The elder, seeing Mu Jinyu’s silence, assumed he was considering the offer. His smile widened and said, "Friend Mu, you know, doing this carries quite a risk for us, so if you’re willing, you’d need to pay an application fee, and I’ll take you along..."
The elder spoke up to this point, revealing his true intention.
After all, from his perspective, taking people to become servants for an Immortal Clan master was a great opportunity.
He certainly wouldn’t take unfamiliar passengers freely without reason.
There was some risk involved, after all, if they upset the powerful Immortal Clan master, it would be a huge problem.
Therefore, they had to pay up before he would take them along!
And even after going, there was no guarantee that those who paid would be taken in as servants by the Immortal Clan master.
Therefore, he wouldn’t easily choose targets, only inviting those with money or decent aptitude.
In his view, Mu Jinyu fit the bill quite well.
Young, yet already in the first layer of the Life-and-Death Realm.
Someone who could afford fares for four passengers certainly wasn’t short on money.
So if he didn’t seize this chance to make some money off Mu Jinyu, wouldn’t it be a waste?
Thinking this way, the elder couldn’t help but send Mu Jinyu a voice transmission directly: "Your conditions are quite good, but competition there is fierce. If I take you, you might not become a herb collecting servant. Tell you what, my clansman-uncle holds a reserved spot. You give me thirty thousand pounds of Source Stone, and I’ll secure it for you!"
His tone was full of confidence.
He was sure Mu Jinyu wouldn’t pass up this opportunity!
However, to his surprise, after Mu Jinyu snapped back to reality, he simply spat out a word: "Scram! If you want to be dogs to the foreign race, do it yourself! I’m not going to debase myself like you lot!"
Nobody expected Mu Jinyu to not only refuse the elder’s invite but also outright curse them.
He cursed them fiercely!
The crowd was stunned, questioning life’s realities.
They wondered how Mu Jinyu dared!
Dare to insult them, call them debased bones, and accuse them of becoming dogs for the foreign race?
Mu Jinyu, naturally, had the confidence to curse them.
On this ship, there weren’t any Chrono Light Realm cultivators.
Even if there were, Mu Jinyu wouldn’t fear them!
Without Chrono Light Realm cultivators, he certainly wouldn’t fear these debased ones!
If these people were powerful, far above the Chrono Light Realm and beyond his capability to handle, he might temporarily bide his time, choosing to pretend or politely refuse!
But they were not his match, so why should he speak nicely to them?
Considering they were also humans, he didn’t want to kill them, which was already kind enough. Did they expect him to be polite to them?!
Just dreaming!
"You?!"
"How dare you!"
With Mu Jinyu’s stream of curses, the elder and other Creation Realm cultivators came to their senses, their faces darkening instantly as they slammed the table and stood up!
"Boom!!"
Instantly, a terrifying murderous aura, sharp as swords, burst from them.
Nearby cultivators, seated at adjacent tables, felt a chilling sensation all over, goosebumps rising.
They looked on in horror, utterly perplexed at how Mu Jinyu dared challenge these Creation Realm elders with his Life-and-Death Realm cultivation!
"You really think just because you could handle the Zhenhai City Lord, that you can ignore us?"
"Kid, Source Stones mean nothing without strength to protect them; you’re just safekeeping them for others!"
"Now, we’re nearly at the Central Domain. If you don’t want to go there and would rather fall off the ship, keep testing how tough your bones really are!"
These elders with Creation Realm cultivation glared at Mu Jinyu with sinister tones, sneering as they spoke.
They had no regard for Mu Jinyu at all!
Now they completely tore the façade away, revealing their true selves!
