Chapter 37 Photographing the Spirit Seed
"Dude, are you serious?"

Zhao Manyan, who was sitting nearby, was so shocked that his eyes widened. He really couldn't tell whether Xu Mu was pretending or really knew what was going on.

To be honest, how could a beginner wizard possibly come into contact with the blue-clad believers?
If all this is just fake, then the other party's behavior, tone, and facial expression don't seem fake, right? Could it be that he is a young actor with superb acting skills?

"You'll know soon." After Xu Mu ended the call, he sat there quietly waiting.

"Okay, I'll wait." Zhao Manyan nodded. Even if Xu Mu didn't say anything, he would stay to make sure whether Xu Mu was bragging or not.

Tang Yue acted quickly. Less than ten minutes later, a black-haired man rushed to the auction site and just caught up with the auction of the spirit seeds.

"Are you Xu Mu?"

The black-haired man walked up to Xu Mu and examined him with his hawk-like sharp eyes. He then glanced at Zhao Manyan who was standing beside him and said:
"I am the deputy chief judge of the Hangzhou Trial Council - Hei Yu, and I am Tang Yue's senior brother."

Deputy presiding judge?

After hearing this, not only Xu Mu but also Zhao Manyan was extremely shocked. Is this guy serious?
Especially Xu Mu, he thought Tang Yue would ask an ordinary judge to come and handle the matter, but he didn't expect that he would directly call the deputy chief judge.

What virtue and ability does that old dog Mu He have?

“Zhao boy, why aren’t you leaving yet?” Hei Yu cast a glance at him, and Zhao Manyan immediately stood up obediently and hurriedly left the scene.

Before Zhao Manyan left, he patted Xu Mu on the shoulder and said admiringly, "I was too shortsighted. You are really amazing."

Damn, the deputy presiding judge is here.

So this guy really knows where the blue believers are? Even if he doesn't know, the relationship is strong.

Not only Zhao Manyan, but everyone else around also stood up and dispersed, preferring to stand far away rather than sit around Xu Mu.

The deputy presiding judge, you can’t afford to offend me. You can’t afford to offend me.

"You can speak now." Hei Yu nodded slightly, indicating that Xu Mu could start.

He would like to make a personal trip to see whether this student named Xu Mu really has information about the blue-robed deacon or is just pretending to know.

If what Xu Mu said next was true, let alone 10 million, even 100 million, he would pay it immediately without any stinginess.

If Xu Mu was just lying... then he would let the student deeply understand the serious consequences of deceiving the judge.

"Right here?" Xu Mu looked around. Although there was no one sitting around, the mage's perception was extremely sharp.

Even the faintest sound was clearly audible to the powerful mages present, but of course beginners couldn't do that...

Seeing this, Hei Yu waved his right hand and cast a magic spell, forming a barrier that effectively prevented any sound from spreading to the outside world.

"You can talk now." Hei Yu sat in Zhao Manyan's original seat and stretched out his arm to signal Xu Mu that he could start telling the information he knew.

"The Mu family of Bo City..." Xu Mu revealed some information without hesitation: "Mu He and Yu Ang of the Mu family, both of them are believers of the Black Church."

"Mu family... Mu He..." Hei Yu repeated softly. The mission of Bo Cheng was investigated by his junior sister Tang Yue, so he was not aware that Bo Cheng was a suspected member of the Black Church.

However, his junior sister told him that Yu Ang from the Mu family was very suspicious.

It seems that Yuang is right, but what about the other Mu He?

Why is Mu He also a believer of the Black Church? Junior Sister never mentioned Mu He to him.

Hei Yu looked at Xu Mu, his eyes full of confusion.

In Junior Sister's investigation, Mu He was not even a suspect. No matter how you looked at it, he couldn't possibly be a follower of the Black Church. Did he believe Junior Sister or this guy?

"Yu Ang was brought into the Mu family by Mu He. You can conduct a detailed investigation in this direction." Xu Mu reminded.

To be honest, he didn't have any substantial evidence to prove that Mu He was Lan Yi. If Hei Yu forced him to prove it, then he had no choice.

But Yu Ang was different, he had a black beast, which was made from his father. As long as the investigation continued in this direction, the Inquisition would sooner or later be able to find out Yu Ang's identity, and Mu He, who brought Yu Ang into the Mu family, would also be suspected.

"You even know this?" Hei Yu seemed a little surprised, and asked with some curiosity: "Tell me, what else do you know?"

"Uh..." Xu Mu said hesitantly, "You don't know anything, do you?"

"I know a little, but not much." Hei Yu is also a down-to-earth person and he spoke frankly.

"See that?" Xu Mu pointed at the lightning spirit seed that was being auctioned on the stage and said, "Buy it for me. I have 30 million. If it's not enough, you can deduct it from the reward."

The auction of the Lightning Spirit Seed was entering a white-hot stage, with the current bid reaching 44 million. As the auction drew to a close, no one was willing to raise the price any further.

If no action is taken, this spiritual seed will be lost.

"Forty-five million!" Hei Yu guessed the importance of the spiritual seed to Xu Mu, and without hesitation raised the auction board beside him and shouted loudly.

The bid stopped at 45 million, which was a very, very high number. If another 15 million was added, two rare and top-grade thunder spirit seeds could be purchased.

The aristocratic families are not fools. The reason why they are willing to spend far more than 30 million to purchase spirit seeds is to enhance the power of the family's direct descendants so that they have a greater chance of being elected as a member of the national government competition.

But in the final analysis, spirit seeds are just spirit seeds, and the increase in magical power is limited.

Even if this spirit seed comes from Mount Tai and has extraordinary spirit seed effects, it will be replaced by the soul seed when it reaches a high level. By then, no matter how strong the spirit seed effect is, it will be replaced by the soul seed effect.

If it weren't for the consideration of the legitimate descendants of the clan, the aristocratic family would have chosen to withdraw from the auction as early as when the price reached 30 million.

Forty-five million, this price is not worth it.

Of course, if they have elemental seeds, that’s a different story. Not to mention 45 million, even 60 million would have someone bidding for it.

In the end, because no one continued to raise the price, the Thunder Spirit Seed was auctioned off by Hei Yu at a price of 45 million.

"Thank you, what else do you want to know?" After taking the container containing the thunder spirit seed, Xu Mu looked up at Hei Yu and asked.

“…First, tell me why you are being hunted by the Black Church.” Hei Yu said after thinking for a while.

He had also heard about Xu Mu being hunted by the Black Vatican, and at that time his junior sister had asked him to investigate whether there was any problem with Xu Mu.

The final conclusion is that Xu Mu is a person who could not possibly have any connection with the Black Vatican.

"I overheard their conversation by chance in the old town." Xu Mu started to tell lies: "They were planning how to seize some spring water, and I happened to be there, and they caught me eavesdropping."

"Spring water?" Hei Yu looked confused. How did this have to do with spring water? Was there a hot spring in Bo City?
Wait until I get back and ask my junior sister.

Their trial knew too little about Bo City.

"What about Mu He? How did you know he was the man in blue? We suspected Mu Zhuoyun but never him." Hei Yu said helplessly.

Should we say that Mu He hid too deeply, or that their trial was too useless? They investigated everything, but found nothing.

"On the day when I was being hunted by the Black Church, I accidentally heard them mention a person named 'Grand Deacon Hu Jin'. I speculated that if the other party was in Bo City, this old dog would be the most suspicious."

"I understand. We will investigate Mu He." Hei Yu nodded. At this point, he was almost sure that what Xu Mu said was true.

Of course, the subsequent trial will also need to investigate and verify.

The clues provided by Xu Mu are very important to their trial.

Especially with the undercover missing, the Inquisition had no idea what the Black Church was planning to do to Bo City.

Xu Mu's clues were simply the savior of their trial.
