Being Forced to Keep a Pig?
That name was sort of funny.
At first, there were still people who hesitated whether or not they should pay ten copper-colored fairy crystals to read the post. After all, the price of ten copper-colored fairy crystals was sort of high compared to the fee to browse other news on the Immortal Net.
But in less than two hours, thousands of people paid the price and read the content of the post.
“Why was it a pig that fought in the restaurant?”
Someone posed such a question.
People were expecting to see Li Mu the Wild Broadsword battle, but the footage was all about a fat, white pig spirit, who wielded his nine-forked rake and beat Mu Shun and the others until they pissed their pants. Li Mu didn’t even get his turn to deal with them himself.
Many who had paid to watch the footage felt that they had been tricked.
Some people filed complaints.
The trade made on the Immortal Net was directly reflected on the personal wealth center of the users. The money in their accounts could be withdrawn in actual terms, which was equivalent to real money. Therefore, the managers of the Immortal Net aimed to provide a fair and square trading environment on the Immortal Net. Thus, they would severely punish all kinds of fraudulent conduct on the Immortal Net.
One should never doubt the power of the Immortal Net.
Since the establishment of this mysterious Immortal Net, countless people and forces had tried to seize benefits by taking advantage of the Immortal Net or challenge its authority.
But in the end, whether it was the famous geniuses, the king-level giants, or the super sects dominating a place, they were all overpowered by the Immortal Net and vanished like smoke.
The power of the Immortal net had been deeply rooted in the hearts of countless cultivators for many years.
No one in the entire Ziwei Star Zone dared to compete or try to undermine the fundamental interests and rules of the Immortal Net, let alone those in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.
Therefore, some people who had paid for the content of this post felt wronged and wanted to take revenge on this guy called “Being Forced to Keep a Pig” by resorting to the channels of complaint on the Immortal Net.
However, such complaints were all rejected by the managers of the Immortal Net.
The reason was quite simple.
The title of the post posted by the user called “Being Forced to Keep a Pig” was the “Footage of the Battle in the Immortal Pavilion”, which didn’t refer to Li Mu at all, so it was only reasonable that Li Mu the Wild Broadsword did not appear in the footage.
It was not until this moment that it dawned on the viewers that this guy called “Being Forced to Keep a Pig” was really a sly fraud. He had set the trap from the very beginning and waited for everyone to jump in.
However, some people started to get curious about this guy called “Being Forced to Keep a Pig”.
“The footage he released was indeed recorded at the first person angle in the Immortal Pavilion, so it could not be a fake one. Then this was very interesting. Since the person who battled was not Li Mu, the person who recorded the battle must be… Li Mu the Wild Broadsword himself.”
A master of logic could give his analysis.
“That pig is the pet that Li Mu got from the divine-level Primordial Stone. That is weird. It’s very rare for a pig to turn into a spirit. We haven’t seen one in tens of thousands of years. After all, pigs have congenital defects.”
“And this pig looks like a domestic pig, not a wild boar.”
“And Li Mu has a servant by his side…”
On the forum of the Big Events in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, all kinds of posts and analyses made appearances, which uncovered the truth bit by bit. It had to be said that there were really many smart people in the world.
“Shoot, can’t believe I got caught so soon!”
Li Mu was disappointed by the result.
Of course, he was the one “Being Forced to Keep a Pig”.
However, it didn’t matter.
Because he knew people would find out about him sooner or later. After all, he had left some traces in the post.
But at the personal wealth center on the Immortal Net, copper-colored fairy crystals were constantly rolling in, which made Li Mu very happy. He didn’t expect that it would be so easy to make money in this world.
He had made just one post. Yet, within a couple of hours, he had earned more than 10,000 copper-colored fairy crystals, which were equivalent to more than 100 silver-colored fairy crystals.
And that was what he got after he deducted the channel fee charged by the Immortal net.
For many disciples and experts from large sects, 100 silver-colored fairy crystals might not be a big deal. But to many low-level cultivators in the Worm Realm, it was a fortune they did not even dare to dream of.
Moreover, as the identity of the “Being Forced to Keep a Pig” was revealed, more and more curious people paid ten copper-colored fairy crystals to watch the content of the post. They didn’t pay the money just for the footage, but purely to satisfy their curiosity.
As a result, Li Mu’s income at the personal wealth center of the Immortal Net was still snowballing.
Li Mu considered for a moment and then posted another post on the forum of the Big Events in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.
“The man ‘Being Forced to Keep a Pig’ has shown up again!”
“Li Mu just made another speech on the forum of the Big Events in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.”
“Is he that crazy?”
“What did he say?”
Many cultivators who were browsing the Immortal net were thrilled again when they heard such news. Even many people who didn’t use the forum on usual days flooded into the forum to read the post.
The latest post released by the man named “Being Forced to Keep a Pig” said—
“A letter to all the major sects in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.”
People had to pay 20 copper-colored fairy crystals to read the post.
When the cultivators saw the price, they thought that the post writer was too shameless to raise the price again.
However, there were still some people who couldn’t hold back their curiosity and paid the fee to read it. As it turned out, they found that the content of the post was even more shameless. There was only one sentence there—
“Guess who I am?”
The cultivators who had paid the fee almost spat out blood.
Could he be any more brazen?
They thought it would be something about Li Mu the Wild Broadsword throwing down the gauntlet to all the sects online, but it turned out to be such a worthless remark… Well, Li Mu certainly didn’t play by the rules.
After pulling the tricks on the Immortal Net, Li Mu logged out.
Then, he, Ding Yi, and the pig spirit concealed their auras and hid in Star Wind City. They did not stride through the street showily as they did before. After all, the first goal of attracting attention had been achieved, and they did not need to expose their whereabouts deliberately anymore.
The Star Wind City was the territory of the Tianyi Palace. It could be said to be their enemy’s camp.
At this moment, Li Mu did not have the confidence to deal with the experts in the Soldier Realm from the Tianyi Palace.
Furthermore, even if Li Mu only ran into some in the Mortal Realm, once there were too many of them, they would pose a huge threat to him. If he wasn’t careful, he might get killed.
What Li Mu was doing now was playing with fire.
Although everything seemed to be going well now, it was only because that many masters in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region were overwhelmed and failed to act in time due to the time difference and the expectation lapse. But now, the time difference was gone.
From now on, all parties would have a new estimation and judgment of Li Mu’s strength and other aspects. They tracked down his combat record on the Bitter Star and investigated all the battles Li Mu had participated in. Hence, they would not make the same mistake as the black-robed girl from the Black Killing Tower and Saint of Blood Sea did. They would never consider taking down Li Mu on their own. So, the hunting and encirclement of Li Mu launched by all parties would be more intense, and Li Mu would be in a more precarious position.
Li Mu was now like a fearless Monster Tank, mocking and ruffling monsters’ feathers at the risk of his life. It was all because of his coquettish body movements and witty attitude that he was able to survive until now.
But this kind of confrontation couldn’t last for long.
Now that he had realized his goal, he would have to stay low-key for some time.
“Gotta swallow my pride and lay back for a while.”
He couldn’t really dice with death.
However, Second Senior Fellow Apprentice was quite disdainful of Li Mu’s choice.
“Why should I transform into a woman? In my opinion, what is there to be afraid of? There aren’t many capable people in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. I can squash them with the rake in my hand. If you’re manly enough, then come and fight. Let’s shatter this world,” Second Senior Fellow Apprentice said.
Li Mu sneered and said, “Either transform or get lost.”
He was just longing for an opportunity to get rid of this shameless pig spirit with an insatiable appetite.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Second Senior Fellow Apprentice immediately caved and turned into a charming and attractive beauty, who complained, “I’d transform if you wanted me to. But why being so rude?”
Li Mu did not know what to say.
“I’m telling you to be a f*cking ugly one!” Li Mu roared.
It was too eye-catching now that the pig had become so pretty.
So, Second Senior Fellow Apprentice groaned and transformed into a bald middle-aged woman, the kind that no one would take a second look at once she blended into the crowd.
Li Mu then looked at Ding Yi.
Ding Yi was startled and said, “Don’t look at me like that. I can’t transform.”
Li Mu said, “Then you should at least change your clothes and wear some makeup, will you?”
Fifteen minutes later.
The three of them all looked completely different from their original appearances. Then, they each put on the jade pendant attached with a tactical deployment prepared by Li Mu, which altered their auras and energy fluctuations, and merged into the crowd in Star Wind City.
In the next four days, even though the law enforcement team of the Tianyi Palace, as well as the major forces in Star Wind City, had turned the whole Star Wind City upside down, they still couldn’t find a trace of Li Mu and the other two.
It was said that Feng Zhen the Bloodless Sword was getting more and more furious.
The major gambling houses also suffered great losses.
No one had expected that Li Mu the Wild Broadsword could really disappear under the nose of the Tianyi Palace and so many bounty hunters from the universe and live to the fifth day.
“He’s really something.”
In the Immortal Pavilion.
Li Mu was sitting cross-legged in a courtyard, cultivating.
The most dangerous place was the safest place.
After changing their appearances and using the jade pendant to cover up their traces, Li Mu and the other two went straight back to the Immortal Pavilion run by the Tianyi Palace. They rented a small house and settled down there.
The members of the Tianyi Palace and all those bounty hunters would never guess that the people they were searching for days and nights were right under their noses.
Even the pig spirit was amazed by Li Mu’s wise choice. He said humbly, “I thought I was the one who knew how to make waves. Who knew that you were more capable of doing that than me? You can make waves without paddling.”
Li Mu didn’t care to argue with the pig.
Because he had some more important things to do.
Since he opened the divine-level Primordial Stone in Gold Town, Li Mu had always felt that there was something wrong with his cultivation. The major difference was the appearance of the Primordial Spirit, which should not appear inside him according to the normal martial arts cultivation process.
Li Mu came to realize that this might have something to do with the Third Deployment of the Origin-less that Second Senior Fellow Apprentice had mentioned.
The silver maze in the crust of the divine-level Primordial Stone was the Third Deployment of the Origin-less, which was a tactical deployment.
In the past few days, Li Mu tried to control the little white figure staying in front of his Mud-pill Palace, but he found that he couldn’t do it. Therefore, he could only continue to absorb the Spiritual Qi in the gold-colored fairy crystal to increase his cultivation and convert the primitive natural qi to the astral primitive natural qi.
Meanwhile, he had also started to study the Third Deployment of the Origin-less.
In the past three days, he had not converted much, but Li Mu’s understanding of the Third Deployment of the Origin-less had improved by leaps and bounds.
“This is really a brilliant tactical deployment, which is much more powerful than the ones the old faker taught me.” Li Mu sighed with emotion.
He had just peeked at less than one percent of the mystery of the Third Deployment of the Origin-less, but he felt the intendment it contained was sort of astounding.
Li Mu began to try to break down the deployment diagrams and make imitation copies.
On the afternoon of the sixth day, there was a knock on the front door of the house.
“Sir, the goods you ordered on the Immortal Net are here. Please sign the receipt.” A pleasant female voice fluttered in.
