Zhang Tianluo was a bit surprised by Xu Mu’s request, but after thinking about it, it seemed pretty reasonable.

First of all, the value of a martial method.

Indeed, it’s impossible to exchange just one piece of information for it.

Even if she sold herself, she probably wouldn’t be able to exchange for it.

Furthermore, such a valuable martial method, if leaked, could bring about a huge crisis.

If they become Dao companions, they would be considered as one. It would make sense to give him access to the martial method.

Moreover, with this relationship, the information about the martial method would be less likely to leak.

Although the situation seemed reasonable, there was one thing—

I’ve only met you a few times!

Becoming Dao companions so quickly felt a bit awkward.

However, considering the martial method, she quickly suppressed this awkwardness.

“I agree! But before the trade, you have to swear on your Dao heart to ensure the martial method is real!”

“Sure! But you also have to swear, not to ignore me!”

“Alright!”

Zhang Tianluo agreed without hesitation.

“I Xu Mu swear, if the martial method I hand over is fake, I will never advance a step in my cultivation from today onwards.”

Xu Mu looked up to the sky as he swore solemnly.

After the oath, there was no change in the world.

Nor was there any horrifying presence watching him.

The oath of Dao seems a bit idealistic.

Whether it works or not, Xu Mu knew, in legends, no one who violates the oath has a good end.

“I, Zhang Tianluo, swear to become a Dao companion with Xu Mu, as long as he doesn’t betray me, I won’t betray him either.”

Zhang Tianluo announced eagerly.

This woman really knows how to play word games!

Xu Mu grumbled internally.

But he didn’t argue. As long as she agreed, it was enough for him.

He wouldn’t break his oath anyway. As for her, he naturally had ways to make her yield.

Was the secret skill he cultivated for just looking?

“Alright, the oath is done, quickly give me the martial method!”

Zhang Tianluo implored impatiently.

“No rush about the martial method. Since I already swore, I will definitely give it to you!”

He can’t give her the martial method now for sure, as she might turn against him on the spot.

You might as well take the advantage first.

“First tell me about the Sea Race. I promise not just to give you the martial method, but will also teach you my cultivation experiences!”

“Well, alright… but if you dare deceive me, I won’t let you off!”

Zhang Tianluo hesitated a little before finally agreeing, not knowing what Xu Mu was thinking inside.

Because, rationally speaking, she still thought she was taking advantage.

Indeed, she should show enough sincerity first.

“We’re family now, how could I possibly lie to you?” Xu Mu laughed.

“Hmph!”

Zhang Tianluo gave a habitual cold snort before finally revealing the information she had.

She spoke about how she had come to know the Blue Scale Tribe which was also the source of her bloodline.

Her mother was originally a human cultivator. During a resource hunting trip, she accidentally entered the hidden place of the Blue Scale Tribe and was captured. Then Zhang Tianluo was born.

Until she was nine years old, she lived among the Blue Scale Tribe. Because she was of mixed blood, she suffered a lot of bullying there.

With the help of a few young members of the Blue Scale Tribe, she escaped and turned into an ordinary Loose Cultivator.

Due to her mixed-blood, she also had a tough time among the Human Clan.

Although she wasn’t bullied daily, it was a constant struggle.

She heard that selling Sea Race resources could earn a lot of profit, so she took a risk and returned to the Blue Scale Tribe and found her young friends.

Then she began a trade between the two sides, and her business flourished. She successfully established her foundation.

But all of this was still small-scale.

Because both her contacts here and the Sea Race over there were just entry-level.

In order to avoid being discovered by both sides, she didn’t dare to trade on a large scale and also had no ability to do so.

In order to earn more profit, Zhang Tianluo joined the Whale Sea Gang and sold resources through their channels.

It’s a wonder.

The Dust Bone Flower that Xu Mu bought was on consignment by Zhang Tianluo.

Zhang Tianluo’s end was rather good, but the Blue Scale Tribe was having a hard time.

Because the Blue Scale Tribe held a strong grudge against humans, if they found out their own kind were trading with humans, they would be executed on the spot.

So besides occasionally trading some rare items, most of the time, they only sold common grains.

Xu Yiren suspected through this point that there was a Sea Race channel behind Zhang Tianluo.

Zhang Tianluo didn’t deceive Xu Mu at first. Given the attitude of the Blue Scale Tribe towards humans, even if she told him the location, they would not be able to establish a trade.

“I remember the Blue Scale Tribe isn’t a weak tribe. Why would they come to the shallow sea?”

Xu Mu stroked his chin wondering.

“It seems that they are looking for something. How would I know the specifics?

Alright, I’ve told you the information. Hurry up and give me the martial method!”

“No!”

Xu Mu shook his head.

“What do you mean? You want to go back on your word?”

Zhang Tianluo’s face changed instantly.

“I mean your information isn’t enough—it’s as if you didn’t say anything.”

“It’s not my fault, you insisted on exchanging information.”

Zhang Tianluo was a bit guilty.

Her information indeed didn’t have much value. Only she could make use of this channel.

“No, you have to bring out something more substantial.”

“What kind of substantial thing? A distinguished guest from the Blue Scale

Tribe recently visited. For fear of being detected, I did not make any trades. I only have a few dozen Medium-grade Spirit Stones left!”

Zhang Tianluo frowned as she looked through her storage bag.

“I’m not talking about Spirit Stones! I mean—”

Xu Mu looked at Zhang Tianluo from head to toe, causing her to shudder.

“What do you want to do?”

Zhang Tianluo quietly took a few steps back.

“Since we’ve become Dao companions, we naturally have to do some things that Dao companions normally do!”

Xu Mu laughed as he stood up slowly and walked over.

“Don’t come over! You stay away!”

Zhang Tianluo was gradually retreating.

Xu Mu really stopped.

“If you don’t want the martial method, then I won’t come over.”

Xu Mu shrugged.

“You, you swore an oath, how can you go back on your word?”

Zhang Tianluo complained.

“I did swear, but I didn’t say it was going to be today! Maybe in ten or eight years!” Xu Mu responded in an unashamed manner.

“You, you!”

Zhang Tianluo was so angry that she was shaking slightly.

“It’s only a matter of time anyway, why are you so upset? Or could it be that you never planned to agree at all?” Xu Mu suddenly countered.

Zhang Tianluo’s face turned red.

She did want to agree, after all, she had already sworn an oath. She just didn’t want it to happen so soon.

After some hesitation, she suddenly spoke with a mixed expression.

“I’m not that pretty, why are you insisting we go that far?”

Because she was a mix of the human bloodline and the Sea Race bloodline, her body developed abnormally. She had the head of an adult but her body looked like an immature child.

It wasn’t that she was ugly, just that her proportions were a bit off.

She’d initially thought that they would just be Dao companions in name. After all, given Xu Mu’s status, he wouldn’t lack beautiful women.

“I’m not picky!”
