Xiao Mu smiled and said, "I'm Xiao Mu. It's a pleasure to meet you, Captain Lan."

"Xiao Mu?"

Lan Cai wore a thoughtful look, "Jiang Mu's team recently received a new member, seems to be called Xiao Mu."

Xiao Mu admired, "Captain Lan has a good memory, that's indeed me!"

Lan Cai coldly said, "You work under Jiang Mu. What business do you have with me?"

Xiao Mu had learned from Xuan Xin's words that Lan Cai was cold and direct, and disliked beating around the bush, so he didn't waste words. "Jiang Mu planned something against me. I came to Captain Lan with the intention to negotiate cooperation."

"Planned against you? Jiang Mu?"

Lan Cai slightly furrowed her brows, "You're a newcomer, barely settled in. Could it be that you have a grudge against Jiang Mu?"

Xiao Mu replied, "That's what I can't figure out. I've never had any contact with Jiang Mu, and I really can't imagine why he would plan against me."

He took the chance to tell her about his visit to Jiang Mu, and the trap Jiang Mu had set for him.

Lan Cai raised her eyebrows again at Xiao Mu's words. "You say you don't know why Jiang Mu is planning against you?"

Xiao Mu responded firmly: "I don't know."

"You can leave!"

Lan Cai's demeanor immediately turned cold again.

"Wait!"

Xiao Mu said seriously, "Captain Lan, as far as I know, the Alliance's quota for the True Realm is very limited. Among the two captains supervising the ancient Song relics, only one person can have the opportunity to ascend to the True Realm."

From his conversation with Xuan Xin, Xiao Mu learned more about the secrets of the Alliance's top brass.

The Alliance actually already has True Realm powerhouses, and not just one or two.

However, the opportunity to reach the True Realm is not something everyone can get, there's a cruel competition involved.

Among the two captains supervising the ancient Song relics, Lan Cai and Jiang Mu, at most only one person can reach the True Realm.

Lan Cai sneered, "This is common knowledge."

Xiao Mu's words didn't move her at all.

Xiao Mu said calmly, "What if I said I could help increase Captain Lan's chances of reaching the True Realm?"

"You?"

Lan Cai gave Xiao Mu a suspicious look, her face gradually turning cold, "You, who are only at the Mid Fifth Realm, say you can help increase my chances of reaching the True Realm. Isn't that laughable?"

She clearly didn't trust Xiao Mu.

She could tell at a glance that Xiao Mu was only at the Mid Fifth Realm.

How could she believe that someone with that kind of strength, who claims to be able to help her increase her chances of stepping into the True Realm?

"I have..."

Xiao Mu changed to transmitting voice and whispered to Lan Cai.

The expression on Lan Cai's face gradually changed from cold to surprised, she exclaimed, "You have a magic treasure? How is that possible? You're just a Mid Fifth Realm newbie, where did you get a magic treasure?"

Xiao Mu smiled and said, "That's not something Captain Lan needs to worry about. In any case, provided that Captain Lan agrees to assist me, I will borrow the magic treasure from a senior and lend it to Captain Lan for comprehension."

"With Captain Lan's discernment and strength, you should know that understanding a magic treasure can increase the chances of stepping into the True Realm, right?"

Lan Cai's face was indecisive, she clearly hesitated, and after a moment, she suddenly asked, "Which senior are you talking about?"

Xiao Mu smiled and rhetorically said, "Hehe! I'm afraid I can't tell you the name of that senior."

He was referring to the Destruction Spear.

However, since the Destruction Spear was already in his possession, he obviously couldn't tell Lan Cai directly.

With his current strength, he doesn't qualify to protect the magic treasure.

A magic treasure, even in the eyes of a peak mutant in the fifth realm, is extremely rare.

After all, only when you step into the True Realm can you have the ability to forge magic treasures.

Those at the Fifth Realm don't have that ability, they can't even completely control a magic treasure.

Xiao Mu had to be wary of Lan Cai's ulterior motives, so he used the name of a senior to cover it up.

Lan Cai coldly said, "If you don't dare to say the name, how can I believe you can really borrow a magic treasure?"

The opportunity of understanding a magic treasure that can enhance breakthrough chances was a huge temptation to her.

Well, understanding a magic treasure does not mean you can just hold it and look at it casually. Strictly speaking, casually looking at it does not count as understanding a magic treasure.

Understanding a magic treasure requires infusing your divine sense and True Force into the magic treasure to understand its inner structure.

This will give you a deep understanding of the forging or mutation process of the magic treasure, and increase the experience of stepping into the True Realm.

But at the same time, infusing your divine sense and True Force into the magic treasure can cause a certain degree of damage to the magic treasure.

This damage is permanent, and in serious cases, it can even destroy the magic treasure.

"That depends on whether Captain Lan is willing to take the risk or not."

Xiao Mu smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "Trust me, I can borrow a magic treasure, let Captain Lan comprehend it, further increase your chances of achieving the True Realm. And don't trust me, compete fairly against Jiang Mu. Whoever is stronger will step into the True Realm, and the weaker one might never be able to step into the True Realm."

Lan Cai fell into a deep contemplation again. This time, she took a long time to make a decision.

After a long while, she said, "Your strength is too low. If Jiang Mu does plan against you, I don't think you can survive."

"You do know that your survival is the most basic requirement for a successful cooperation, right?"

From Lan Cai's tone, she was clearly moved, she wanted to take a gamble, and cooperate with Xiao Mu. After all, the attraction of a magic treasure was too great.

But at the same time, she was worried that Xiao Mu's strength was too low and that he would die in Jiang Mu's hands, eventually leading to the failure of the cooperation.
