Chapter 878 A Good Deal

While Lin Mu and Gu Zhenhao were talking, the results of the competitions on the nine battle platforms came out one after another.

In this first round of competition, the strengths of the competitors were uneven. Five of the battle platforms ended the battles quickly, and only three of them took a long time, but the winners were already determined.

In eight of the battle platforms, no one died, not even seriously injured cultivators.

After all, this was the first round, and all cultivators were very clear about their own strengths. They would try their best to win if they could, and give up as soon as possible if they couldn't win, so as to save their energy for the next competition.

The 240 cultivators who lost will have another competition next time. As long as they are not ranked in the last 50, they can still obtain a mineral vein.

The winning cultivators can participate in the second round of competition.

The second round of competition will start in three days.

In the interval of these three days, the 240 defeated cultivators will fight each other to select the last 50 cultivators.

These cultivators were already defeated, and had no time to rest, so they directly joined the competition among defeated cultivators. If they were injured, it would be almost impossible for them to win the mineral vein again.

Therefore, losing the first game was not a desperate situation. On the contrary, if they felt that they could not win, they would decisively admit defeat so as to preserve their strength for the next competition.

The competitions on the eight battle platforms were all over, and only the sixth battle platform where Lin Mu and Yu Lin were located suffered heavy casualties.

Yu Lin, whose cultivation level was already infinitely close to the middle stage of fusion, died directly!

"I didn't expect that you could actually beat Yulin, and with just one move!" Gu Zhenhao said in a voice transmission, "I'm willing to accept the loss. Don't worry, I will definitely give you this mineral vein."

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 defeat him within three moves. This is simply an impossible thing."

"To be honest, I am not too sure myself." Lin Mu smiled, "The reason I made this bet with you is because It is difficult for me to take out 30 billion spirit stones. With this bet, I will definitely go all out and strive for victory. This bet is mainly to urge myself, but I didn't expect Yulin to be so arrogant that he really dared 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 did not mobilize any power of heaven and earth, they would be completely abused by Yulin. And you killed Yulin with one sword, and strength is more important here!"

"That makes sense." Lin Mu touched his nose unconsciously.

"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 and got two veins. Now it has been another hundred years. My strength has improved a lot. Not to mention defeating three opponents, entering the fourth round, getting three veins, maintaining the original level, and still getting two veins, it is always possible, right? "

Gu Zhenhao said very seriously.

Originally, he had already regarded Lin Mu as a peerless genius and wanted to make friends with him.

But he was just a peerless genius, and it would be difficult for him to achieve much in a short period of time.

Although the Blue Star Jade Slip had great profits, it would be easy for others to covet it without strong strength.

He believed that with Lin Mu's intelligence, he would definitely consider this point and would not sell it in large quantities for the time being.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mu easily killed a mid-stage fusion cultivator in the first round of the Mineral Vein Competition, and it seemed effortless, as if he had not exerted 60% of his strength.

With such top strength, plus the prospects of Piaomiao Fairyland, the spiritual stones he would earn in the future would definitely be beyond imagination.

A peerless genius like Lin Mu would definitely not spend a lot of time on operating mineral veins.

As long as he had a good relationship with Lin Mu, Lin Mu would definitely rely on him for these things in the future.

Therefore, it didn't make much difference whether he owned one mineral vein or two mineral veins.

The more mineral veins Lin Mu owned, the more he could benefit.

This time, he was willing to accept the loss and simply gave Lin Mu a mineral vein, which would undoubtedly make him and Lin Mu closer. Which mine owner could compete with him in the future?

"I didn't know before that cultivators with two mineral veins could choose their opponents at will." Lin Mu apologized, "I used one of your mineral veins, causing you to lose the initiative. I am very sorry. The previous bet was just a joke."

"How can this be?" Gu Zhenhao said seriously, "One thing is one thing. When we bet, we bet on two mineral veins. You have already counted one less. In any case, I will definitely give you this mineral vein."

Lin Mu saw that Gu Zhenhao was determined and looked at him with admiration.

A mineral vein, over a hundred years, has earned hundreds of billions of spirit stones. After losing the bet, Gu Zhenhao was still very straightforward and was willing to give him a mineral vein.

Such a trustworthy person is rare.

When he made a bet with Gu Zhenhao, he was indeed half serious and half joking.

But now that Gu Zhenhao is determined to give it to him, if he refuses again, it will seem hypocritical.

Besides, where can you find such a good thing?

"How about this, if you can defeat three cultivators in a row and enter the fourth round, you can at least get three mineral veins." Lin Mu pondered and said with a smile, "As long as you can enter the fourth round, you can't refuse this mineral vein to me!"

"If you lose in the first round, even if you show your strength later and don't rank in the bottom 50, you can only get one mineral vein, and the quality is also very ordinary. If you give me this only mineral vein, wouldn't it be too pitiful!" Lin Mu joked, "I don't like such mineral veins either."

Gu Zhenhao heard the words, weighed it in his heart, 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 mineral vein, he will not lose anything compared to before.

If he can't do it, he can only keep these two mineral veins for himself as before.

For long-term consideration, Gu Zhenhao decided to give it a try.

Let's see if he can enter the fourth round this time!

"Then it's a deal." Gu Zhenhao agreed with a smile, and then flew to the fifth battle stage with a relaxed look.

The white-clothed elder of the fifth battle stage was calling his name and the name of another fusion stage cultivator.

Lin Mu went to the fifth battle stage to watch Gu Zhenhao fight.

The cultivators around were densely packed, and the sky and the ground were crowded.

But many cultivators saw that he was coming, and they were all smiling, and they all made way for him.

Many fusion stage cultivators smiled and nodded to him.

Along the way, many cultivators took the initiative to chat and flatter, and Lin Mu dealt with them with a smile.

Gu Zhenhao and a gray-clothed cultivator will soon start the competition.

This can be said to be a battle without any suspense.

At the beginning, Gu Zhenhao had the upper hand, but he did not press step by step, but slowly dealt with the gray-clothed cultivator.

After fighting for a while, the gray-robed cultivator used several powerful killing moves in succession, but they were all resolved by Gu Zhenhao calmly.

After a while, the gray-robed cultivator saw that he could not take down the enemy after a long attack, and was suppressed by Gu Zhenhao. He could not resist. He knew that there was a big gap between his strength and Gu Zhenhao. He immediately signaled to the white-robed elder and simply admitted defeat, saving his energy for tomorrow's competition.

Gu Zhenhao won smoothly and flew off the stage with a smile on his face.

"It took a long time, but I finally took it down!" Gu Zhenhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.

"You are much stronger than the gray-robed cultivator, and it is obvious." Lin Mu smiled, "If you burst out with all your strength, he will definitely not be able to resist and will soon admit defeat!"

"If you push too hard, it is easy to miss, and it will be more tiring to fight. It is better to play steadily like this. He knows he cannot win and will soon admit defeat." Gu Zhenhao shook his head and said, "I am sure that I can't catch up with you without you stepping on the flying sword. It can be said that you can kill a mid-stage fusion cultivator with one sword. There are not many people in the entire Jinxiu world who can do it."

"Don't underestimate yourself. I was just lucky. This is your real strength." Lin Mu asked with a smile, "Are you sure you can enter the fourth round this time?"

"I think it's very close!" Gu Zhenhao said with a smile, "My current strength is only slightly better than that of an average fusion cultivator. The second round of competition is very troublesome. The third round of competition is my limit. Last time, I lost in the third round and only obtained two mineral veins."

As the two talked, they flew outside and returned to Yuelai Inn.

"I believe that after a hundred years, your strength must have greatly improved." Lin Mu smiled and said, "This time there is a great hope to pass the third round and enter the fourth round."

"A hundred years is as long as a lifetime for mortals, but for us cultivators in the fusion stage, it is a flash of lightning, very short." Gu Zhenhao said helplessly, "You also know that the further a cultivator goes, the slower his strength improves. In just a hundred years, my strength has indeed improved, but it is also limited. Whether I can successfully pass the third round this time really depends on luck."

Lin Mu nodded gently.

He knew very well that according to the current rules, the first five rounds were randomly drawn, and who the opponent was and how strong he was really depended on luck.

If he had the opportunity to enter the top sixteen and participate in the round-robin battle, but he happened to meet the strongest person in this mineral vein conference before that, he could only be eliminated unjustly!

Not only Gu Zhenhao had to rely on luck, but even he himself had to rely on luck in the future.

Now that the Sui Xin Sword has not been promoted to the peerless spiritual treasure realm, he is likely to lose if he meets a cultivator in the late fusion stage.

"In the second round, 256 cultivators will fight. If you are not too unlucky, you should not encounter the strongest ten or so people." Lin Mu said with a smile, "As long as you don't encounter those masters, in fact, if you compete in cultivation, there is not much difference between you. The winner will be determined by your sword attainments, how to exert the power of heaven and earth, and the power of flying swords."

"Indeed." Gu Zhenhao nodded repeatedly.

"Kendao attainments, how to maximize the power of heaven and earth, these two are difficult to improve in a short period of time, this depends on accumulation, but the power of the flying sword, I am sure to help you quickly improve it!" Lin Mu said with a smile.

"Rapidly improve 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, which requires thousands or tens of thousands of years of nurturing and tempering. The speed of improvement is 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.

If Gu Zhenhao can successfully enter the fourth round, he can obtain a mineral vein.

The mineral veins obtained by cultivators who can enter the fourth round are also of good quality.

A mineral vein can earn hundreds of billions of spirit stones in a hundred years!

This deal is still very cost-effective!
