“You are supposed to know everything, so why are you so in the dark about my father’s affairs?” Chu Mu asked the Fox Elder.
“Young Master, the Soul Covenant is not just for show. If they do not want others to know certain things, even if you have already entered the top level of the Soul Covenant, you would still have no idea what power they rely on to stand in the authoritative position in this world. Chu Tianmang must have committed some sin, and this sin is something the Soul Covenant cannot make public,” Fox Elder said.
Sin. Chu Mu doesn’t care about any sin; the arrogant Soul Covenant drove his father’s three great main pets to commit suicide in the Seal Tower. This behavior, more painful than killing the Soul Pet Master, only made Chu Mu despise the Soul Covenant even more!
In fact, Chu Mu got a bad impression of the Soul Covenant’s tyranny and dictatorship from the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon incident.
“Young Master, since you have some spare money now, you should go ahead and get the Soul Hall’s Sixth-Level Title,” Fox Elder reminded Chu Mu.
“That’s right, a Sixth-Level Title only requires a contribution of around 5 to 6 million, I think.” Chu Mu nodded.
Now, for Chu Mu, 5 to 6 million is not that difficult to get. In any case, the Soul Hall’s Sixth-Level Title allows him to obtain a Commander-level Soul Pet and a Soul Skill for free.
“No need, your Second Place Title has five title values, which is enough to get the Sixth-Level Title,” Fox Elder said.
“That’s great.” Chu Mu nodded his head.
Unenhanced Commander-level Soul Pets generally cost between 100,000 and 10 million, which is a considerable range. Many Soul Pet Masters’ financial abilities can only maintain around the amount of 1 million. Without enough funds to strengthen their Soul Pets or purchase stronger Soul Pets, they may choose to take up positions in certain forces or cities. They slowly improve their strength with the steady salary they receive from their work.
Hunting in the wild is one of the best ways to get rich, but not every Soul Pet Master can bring the precious Spirit Items and Soul Pets back to the city alive during their training. Even if they are alive, there may be cases of Soul Pet’s death. Most Soul Pet Masters without this ability would have a hard time bearing the huge loss of Soul Pets dying even if they gain something from their training outside.
Hunting is an extremely dangerous profession. Many Soul Pet Masters dare not take risks after brushing shoulders with death and spend a peaceful life. After all, in their own small field, as long as they can reach a certain level, they are already quite satisfied.
Chu Mu’s main source of income now is also hunting. In order to not be so poor and down-and-out in the future, Chu Mu joined the Hunting Association through the privilege of his Sixth-Level Title in the Soul Hall.
The Soul Hall’s influence and the Hunting Association do not conflict. Chu Mu’s dual positions do not have much impact. Moreover, through the privilege of the Sixth-Level Title in the Soul Hall, Chu Mu can get quite a bit of hunting intelligence from the Hunting Association.
Hunting information is crucial. If you know about a certain Soul Pet in a specific place, you can take some experts with you and proceed cautiously, usually succeeding in getting that Soul Pet.
If you wander aimlessly in the wild, you might go for months without any gains, especially for a Soul Pet Master like Chu Mu at his current level. Chu Mu doesn’t even have the desire to capture ordinary Commanders…
Chu Mu encountered the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird in the deep mountains and old forests after running around for half a year. This was considered quite lucky, as there were no mature Monarch-level Soul Pets around the Star Phoenix Butterfly Tail Bird.
“Looking at these bounties and Soul Pet information around 5 million…” Chu Mu stood in the Hunting Association’s Hall, feeling somewhat helpless as he looked at the privileges that he could get from the Sixth-Level Title.
Chu Mu now has a Sixth-Level Title in the Soul Hall. The highest reward information he can see in the Hunting Association is also at the sixth level, and 5 million is quite normal.
“Once you reach the Seventh-Level Title, you will have the right to view Seventh-Level bounties. The price of Seventh-Level Bounties ranges from 20 million, which is more in line with your current level,” the Fox Elder said.
“20 million is still a little less. For 20 million, spend a month’s time traveling back and forth…” Chu Mu said.
“Then you should focus on considering the Eighth-Level Hunting Bounties. The Eighth-Level Bounties are above 60 million… But Young Master, you are still only a Sixth-Level Title now, and the employers won’t give out bounties to you,” Fox Elder said.
Bounties are issued by employers and assessed by the Hunting Association as an intermediary to identify the difficulty and reward levels of the bounty. After that, the general information is listed in the Hunting Association Hall for those who are qualified to see and take up the bounty.
Any information must be kept confidential, and only the person who really takes the bounty will be told the complete information by the employer.
Employers couldn’t possibly wait in the Hunting Association all the time for someone to take their bounties. This kind of thing is usually handled by the Hunting Association’s staff, who are paid a fee by the employers.
The staff must ensure that the completion rate of the bounties is high, and they have many bounties to deal with, so they cannot observe the strength of the hunters one by one. This is when Title Levels become the staff’s most direct selection criteria. Without reaching the required level, the staff will not issue the bounties.
Chu Mu now has a Sixth-Level Title in the Soul Hall and is also entitled to take up Sixth-Level Bounties in the Hunting Association. To qualify for Seventh-Level Bounties, Chu Mu must reach the Seventh-Level Title.
“Young Master, since you are on a journey, it might not be advisable to take up a bounty. After all, bounties are generally one-on-one, have confidentiality and privacy. Even if you complete the task, you have to go to the employer to complete the transaction specifically. You can go straight for collecting wild hunting information now, which is available for browsing as long as you pay the gold coins. Once you capture these Soul Pets, you can sell them to the trading place, Soul Pet Palace, or Soul Hall like before. It is a much freer way of trading,” Fox Elder said.
“Yeah, I also think that if I want to take a bounty, I must pick one with very high rewards; otherwise, it will waste too much time,” Chu Mu also nodded.
Sixth-Level wild hunting information has some degree of openness, meaning that as long as one pays a certain amount, any Sixth-Level Title holder can see it. There are many uncertainties and drawbacks in wild hunting information, and there are often many competitors as well.
Chu Mu’s situation now is more suited for this method, after all, Chu Mu cannot afford to waste his precious time for a bounty reward of just 5 million or so.
“Hall Assistant, are you sure you want to buy this Sixth-Level wild hunting information?” The female Hunting Staff asked with her beautiful big eyes.
“Yeah, any doubts?” Chu Mu nodded his head.
Soul Hall’s sixth-level titles are referred to as Hall Assistants, seventh-level titles as Hall Executioners, and eighth-level titles as Hall Officials. Ting Lan has an eighth-level title, making her a female Hall Official in Soul Hall.
“Well… I don’t have any doubts, but I feel like… you’re casting a… rather large net,” the female hunting staff whispered very quietly.
This hunting staff member had never seen anyone buy 100 wild hunting information at once!
She had been working here for a while now, and her experience told her that a sixth-level title holder would need about one to two months to complete a sixth-level bounty task. Wild hunts, although semi-public knowledge, also took a long time to complete, and the success rate was meager.
“100 wild hunting information from the east will cost 10 million Gold Coins, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider carefully?” the female hunting staff whispered.

Sixth-level wild hunting information wasn’t cheap, and Chu Mu was certainly splurging.
“You help me organize these 100 pieces of information, and I will head east on this route towards World City. Help me eliminate the ones that are too remote in the east and a waste of time,” Chu Mu took out a map and pointed out the route he wanted to take.
The female hunting staff looked dumbfounded, “So you’re just hunting on the way there…”
“Yeah, please hurry up, I’ll set off early tomorrow morning,” Chu Mu said.
After leaving the Hunting Association, Chu Mu returned to Soul Hall and spent 10 million Gold Coins on food for his Soul Pets over the next three to four months.
Chu Mu now had to spend an average of 3 million Gold Coins per month to feed his Soul Pets, not counting Soul Crystals.
Chu Mu couldn’t imagine how much money he would have to spend on food for these gluttonous Soul Pets each month once they all reached the eighth stage.
Chu Mu quickly spent another 5 million Gold Coins on seventh-level medicines. Just in case, Chu Mu also bought a few very expensive eighth-level recovery potions and healing potions, costing another 5 million Gold Coins. The total expenditure on medicines was 10 million Gold Coins… Chu Mu could only hold onto the mentality of high expenditure for high returns…
“Only 60 million Gold Coins left, fortunately that guy postponed the trade. Otherwise, what would I do about these regular expenses?” Chu Mu shook his head with a bitter smile.
“Woooo~~” Little Mo Xie lay on Chu Mu’s shoulders, with an expression that said, “Soul Pet Masters have it hard, being a Soul Pet is much better.”
The expenses of medicines were almost equal to those of Soul Cores. In the case of accidents, it might even be higher. At this point, Chu Mu couldn’t help but miss Ye Qingzi.
If Ye Qingzi were here, Chu Mu’s expenses would be almost directly spared. Moreover, Ye Qingzi could concoct many seventh-level spirit items, which were at least half the price of those bought on the market.
Eighth-level spirit items are now worth tens of millions, hitting hundreds of millions if one is not careful. If Ye Qingzi could become an eighth-level spirit master, the price would be at least half…
Of course, Chu Mu missed Ye Qingzi herself more, hoping to meet her again in World City.
Although Chu Mu had not spent a long time with Ye Qingzi, he always had a good impression of her, especially when she faced Duan Xinhe with such determination…
After purchasing all the items, Chu Mu returned to the Hunting Association.
“They are all organized,” the female hunting staff said with a delightful smile.
Chu Mu nodded and placed the valuable information organized by the female hunting staff.
“This… actually isn’t part of my job,” the female hunting staff glanced at Chu Mu and whispered.
Chu Mu looked at the young lady and quickly understood the meaning of her words. He took out another sum of money from his Space Ring and handed it to her, saying, “This is your extra reward.”
The young lady stared at the extra reward Chu Mu handed over, hesitated for a moment, and then blushed, “I… I didn’t mean that… What I meant was that I saw your battle in the second place match… You are very strong…” She blushed even more.
Chu Mu, who wasn’t so clueless, awkwardly took back the so-called extra reward and smiled faintly.
“I… I’ll be transferring to World City soon for work. If you need anything, I’ll be… happy to help…” the female hunting staff said. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
“Alright, what’s your name?”
“You can just call me Xiao Qin.”
After saying goodbye to this enthusiastic young lady, Chu Mu packed his bags and began his journey to World City and incidental hunting along the way…
