Chapter 522 - The Two Vaults

With the plan now in place, Lin Mu decided to wait till then. He did stay at Jiao Fang’s residence though, instead of that, he went back to that residence he had previously taken over. He was currently sitting on the mat and was absorbing the spirit Qi from it.

Seeing that he had a rather large amount of spirit Qi supply, Lin Mu just decided to take this chance to further refine the range of his spirit sense. He failed many times during the night that made his spirit sense collapse, but with the nearly unlimited supply, he was able to rebuild it to its previous range once again.

Little by little, it started to increase in range with each failure. With this uninterrupted supply of spirit Qi, Lin Mu could freely practice with the spirit sense and didn’t have to worry about not having a spirit sense in the time of distress.

By the time for the opening of the vault came in the morning, Lin Mu had already refined his spirit sense to a maximum range of six hundred. This was a massive increase and Lin Mu didn’t know if he would be able to replicate their progress in a short time again.

~huu~

He exhaled a breath and muttered. "this will only help me more now..."

The jade slip in Lin Mu’s spatial ring stirred and he withdrew it.

"It’s me Jiao Fang. The core disciple has left the complex they live in. You will have to take this time to observe the formations of the vault." Jiao Fang spoke.

"I understand. I’ll leave right now." Lin Mu said before blinking away.

He quickly left the residence and entered a path that led to the courtyards of the inner court disciples. Once he was there, he went hoards the location of the vault, which was already known to him now.

Upon reaching the vault, Lin Mu kept hiding behind on the spots in the ground as no one was here yet. But in the distance, he could see a couple of people heading toward it.

"Ah, seems like I’m just early this time..." Lin Mu said to himself.

He saw that the disciple was not alone and even a junior sect elder was following him around. But when Lin Mu saw the face of the elder, he could tell that he had an expression of jealousy.

Jealousy was something he had grown good at recognizing by now. It was evident that this elder was not happy about this disciple taking whatever treasure they were going to take.

"Stand here, I’ll open the vault. And remember no funny business..." The junior elder said, before taking out a small formation plate and checking it.

Even if a disciple had gotten rewards normally the man would not ever paid any mind to it. But here he was observing a good for nothing junior taking the best techniques of the sect.

That’s right, the reward that had been chosen by him was nothing by a spirit tool. The elder held out the identity badge of his own and held it out in front of his body.

Then... it happed.

~huu~

The formations surrounding the vault started unraveling, and Lin Mu watched it with rapt attention. Only when five minutes passed and the formations were all open was the disciple able to enter the formation.

Lin Mu continued observing as he knew it was going to take a relatively rare technique that may be hard to get in the sect. During this time he did his best to comprehend these formations and by the time the inner court disciple returned, about thirty minutes had already passed.

~harrumph~

"Took you long enough..." The junior elder stated.

The elder didn’t know what the disciple had gotten into the vault and could only act like this. He knew that even with a low grade technique he won’t be able to get that from the disciple unless he was willing to break a lot of rules.

Taking out the identity badge again, the elder closed the vault behind his back. The two of them went either separate ways, and Lin Mu returned to his temporary residence in the sect as well. Upon reaching it, he got a notification from Jiao Fang.

Jiao Fang reached to him on the jade slip and asked him if everything had gone well on not. Seeing that Lin Mu was back, he reckoned it was.

"Yes. It worked just as you said. I’m now much more confident in opening the formations on my own." Lin Mu replied.

Jiao Fang nodded his head and stopped the link.

~huu~

"May as well continue refining my spirit sense, seeing I got a few hours to the next opening of the second vault." Lin Mu muttered to himself before sitting down cross legged on the prayer mat.

He raised the limit of the limiter formation and allowed his body to be doused in spirit Qi. Time passed and finally, it was evening when the second disciple would be opening the second vault of the Main peak.

Lin Mu left before Jiao Fang even reminded him to be ready for it and left for the second vault. He waited for the disciple to come as well but saw that someone else came before them.

The person was one of the elders he had seen in the elder’s compound.

The elder came to a stop in front of the vault and waited, evidently for the disciple to come.

"Sorry for making you wait, elder!" A voice came from the side.

Lin Mu’s gaze went there instantly as he seemed to have recognized the voice. The voice was that of a woman, and it was someone that Lin Mu recognized.

"Ye Zi Jin? Why is she here? Don’t tell me... she’s the disciple who wants to get resources from the vault. Since this is the second vault, then it has spirit tools kept in it. Some of them should be at the high grade too..." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

Unlike the previous elder and disciple, this elder was much composed and respectfully nodded to Ye Zi Jin.
