Walker Of The Worlds-Novel

Chapter 680 - Into The Hong Lin Capital

Seeing Jing Luo’s response, Lin Mu knew that he had definitely figured out a solution to his problems from this.

"I reckon you had some good gains from this?" Lin Mu asked.

"Good Gains? That will be a grave understatement... this knowledge... I... If I’m given enough time, I can bet my life that I can make hundreds of peak grade spirit tools, pseudo immortal tools, or even ... an immortal tool!" Jing Luo spoke.

Seeing Jing Luo’s enthusiasm, Lin Mu knew that the man was quite pleased.

"Very well then, I guess you should finish up on the entrance token first?" Lin Mu asked.

"I’ll do that later. First, I need to assimilate all this information." Jing Luo spoke.

"Ah, yes. Your grandfather needed to do the same. That was also one of the reasons why he chose to go to the ancestral land." Lin Mu replied.

"That would be the most optimum decision. There is said to be a comprehension and enlightenment room there which can greatly speed up the process of learning new techniques and skills.

Though it does require a large amount of spirit Qi to operate." Jing Luo said.

"Oh really? Interesting..." Lin Mu stated, taking note of this.

"We should enter the city and get a place. It’ll take me a few days to comprehend and assimilate all this. Plus, the target we want to find is also rather intricately hidden. We will need to be careful, lest they go further in hiding." Jing Luo said.

"Yes, that would be for the best. Let’s head in," Lin Mu said before turning to look at little Shrubby. "You know what to do."

"I’ll just stay here and cultivate. It feels good here." Little Shrubby replied.

"Yeah, do that. We’ll be close by, anyway." Lin Mu replied before leaving with Jing Luo.

"Wait, the beast Qi." Little Shrubby reminded Lin Mu.

"Ah, yes. Let me give you some before leaving." Lin Mu stated before chanting the nurturing heart sutra.

In this area, the concentration of fire attribute spirit Qi was higher than normal and it was very conducive to Little Shrubby’s cultivation. Normally, with the assistance of the beast Qi, the speed of cultivation was already increased by a certain level. Lin Mu could only imagine the speed little shrubby might have with a suitable area like this.

"Here you go," Lin Mu said as she sent a thick stream of Beast Qi to Little shrubby.

Little shrubby absorbed it and quickly sprawled on the soft grass before falling asleep.

Jing Luo looked at the barrier formations and spoke, "I guess we’ll leave the formations here just in case."

"Mmhmm, it’ll prevent most people from coming close or even seeing him." Lin Mu agreed.

Jing Luo had already winded up the Ji All-Refinement formation array and was ready to leave. The two men flew towards the city before landing at a short distance away from it. Even if they would have no problem revealing their cultivation base in the Hong Lin City, it was still better to keep as low of a profile as possible.

After all, Gu Yao’s spies could be everywhere and who knows if they report about them, which reached Gu Yao and he takes an interest in them. Plus, they also needed to ensure that the members of the Hei corps they were looking for wouldn’t be scared off.

The remaining members of the Hei corps have been in hiding for years now and had only gotten warier and warier of the enemies. Even from their own companions and other members, they were barely keeping any contact.

’Hopefully, these members and Wu Hei are still in contact. If they are hiding, it should be under the guidance and instructions of Wu Hei.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.

Lin Mu and Jing Luo had no problems entering the city and quickly found a suitable place to live in a rather isolated courtyard. The costs of these things were irrelevant to them with the amount of fortune they had and thus they directly picked a place that was the best one.

"This should be good enough. Take any room you fancy. I’ll go out and take a look around the city." Lin Mu spoke.

"Alright, just be a bit more careful. We are now in the central area of the continent, which is far closer to several top sects and also the imperial capital. You are far more likely to encounter stronger cultivators here." Jing Luo warned.

"I’ll keep that in mind." Lin Mu said before taking his leave.

He then spent the rest of the day wandering the city and learning more about it and its people. Lin Mu learned of the royal palace of the Hong Lin Kingdom that was located in the center of the city. It was the most eye catching piece of infrastructure and also took up nearly a quarter of the entire city’s area.

He learned how it was divided into the different sections and the people that worked in it. Lin Mu also took the opportunity to find out more about the Hong Lin trees and where he could buy the type that Jing Luo wanted.

Even though it wasn’t really the focus of their mission, it wasn’t something that really caused Lin Mu any problems, so he thought he may as well do it.

"Huh... hundred year old Hong Lin wood is still available to buy at a high price but the thousand years old is nowhere to be seen. Just as Jing Luo said, they can only be found with luck..." Lin Mu muttered to himself while walking.

He had just consulted several traders that sold Hong Lin Wood and got the same answer.

’Looks like we’ll just have to shelve this for later. I’ll get started on the possible locations of the Hei corps members.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.

The location that he was heading to was actually the royal palace, or more accurately, the second circle of the royal palace. This was the place where the law enforcement records were stored.
