Walker Of The Worlds

Lu Xu looked at the pouch and picked it up.

"Oh, they're giving it in a spatial storage pouch?" Lu Xu was surprised. "Ah wait… this is a temporary one." He realized soon.

Giving out rewards Ina a Spatial Storage Pouch would be a little too extra and might be considered a waste of resources. Especially when the pouch itself wasn't a rewards.

In cases like these, a Temporary Spatial Storage Pouch would be used.

It was something that was used by many places including merchants and several other cultivators. It allowed them to sell items while making it convenient to carry while also lowering the cost of storage.

These temporary Spatial Storage pouches worked exactly as their names meant. They would only be able to storage items for a set period of time, after which the formations used on them would break.

They were made using a different method than the normal spatial storage tools and could be mass produced without the explicit need of a formation master and a Immortal tool refiner.

Once they set up a production formation array, they could be made automatically as long as there was a steady supply of materials.

Lin Mu had seen and obtained them before too and was used to them.

"What did you get?" Qian Wen asked feeling curious.

The two had a bet, thus they needed to know what the other got.

"Hmm… It's good enough." Lu Xu said before handing the pouch to the man. "You can take what you want."

Qian Wen had been the winner of their bet earlier in the Spatial Plane thus it was normal for him to get the pick.

"Sure!" Qian Wen wasn't one to reject it in politesse either. After all, he had won the bet fair and square.

"Three Thousand Mid Grade Immortal Stones, Eight Immortal Qi replenishment pills, Two Immortal Flesh Mending Pills and a Calming Qi pill." Qian Wen checked the items.

"They actually gave a Hongli Calming Qi pill?" Childe Wildfire showed some surprise on his face.

"Is it strange?" Lin Mu asked the man.

"Just the Hongli Calming Qi pill alone is 50% of the value if you combined all those rewards." Childe Wildfire replied.

It was Lin Mu's first time hearing about the pill thus he was unaware of its uses.

"What does the pill do?" Lu Xu asked before he could though.

"Yeah… I don't think I've heard about it. Only about Calming Qi pills." Qian Wen chimed in.

"Hongli Calming Qi pills are made to reduce the chances of Qi deviation." Childe Wildfire replied. "They are a stronger version of the common Calming Qi pills and are only made by the Hongli Alchemy Hall. They have their own unique recipe for it." He explained.

Hearing this, Lin Mu and the others finally understood why the value of the pill was so high.

"Hmm, there aren't that many pills that work for Qi Deviation for immortals so it makes sense." Lin Mu nodded his head.

"I'll just take the items except the Hongli Calming Pill." Qian Wen replied.

"You sure?" Lu Xu asked again.

"Yeah, if you got it as a reward, I'm sure I'll get it too." Qian Wen stated before walking up to the observation orb. "Let's see it now."

~shua~

Similar to before, runes appeared above the orb before another pouch materialized on top of the counter.

Qian Wen picked up the pouch and quickly checked.

"Yeah, we got similar rewards except the Immortal stones." Qian Wen confirmed. "I got five hundred more Mid Grade Immortal stones." He revealed.

"Makes sense, you did defeat more." Lu Xu had lagged just slightly behind Qian Wen.

"Wonder what Brother Mu Lin will get." Qian Wen said.

"Only one way to find out…" Lin Mu went to get his reward and placed his hand on the orb.

~shua~

When he did it though, he could sense a lot more than others.

'Hmm… so it scans the identity token which has been recording information and that's how it confirms what rewards to give others. Interesting…' Lin Mu's immortal sense picked up on all that had happened.

He could tell the working of the formations as well as the fine mechanisms that were assisting. Not just that, but Lin Mu also saw the small teleportation formation that was hidden in the counter top.

Attached to it was a sorting array, which selected through the reward that would be given to the contestants would be given.

The observation orb would read the information from the identity token and then send it to the main array which would then trigger the sorting array to teleport them out.

"Time to see… OH?" Lin Mu's immortal sense scanned it and saw a lot of things.

Including the pills that were given to Qian Wen and Lu Xu, he had a few more things.

"Instead of mid grade immortal stones they gave me five hundred High Grade immortal stones as well as more Healing pills." Lin Mu revealed.

While the reward wasn't really much to him, it still showed the difference between the different people.

"Whoa… they actually gave you High Grade immortal stones. Usually they only give mid grade immortals tones. They will simply increase the number to match the value of the High Grade immortal stones." Lu Xu said with surprise on his face.

"Guess it makes sense, considering Brother Mu Lin defeated some of the tougher enemies." Qian Wen nodded his head.

~step~step~step~

"You really shouldn't reveal your rewards openly, you know?" Childe Wildfire said as he approached the observation orb.

~shua~

He quickly took his reward and stored it away without even taking a look. It seemed like the man didn't really care for the reward much either.

"You're gonna prepare now?" Lin Mu said seeing that the man intendant to leave.

"Perhaps." Childe Wildfire replied shortly.

"Hmm… if you succeed you'll have the greatest advantage over others… Your cultivation base will be the highest." Lin Mu stated. "Even the Third prince won't be your match, won't he?" he asked.

"That might be so, but I won't be the strongest." Childe Wildfire said much to their surprise.

"You won't?" Lu Xu raised his brows.

"The Third Prince Feng Baxing might be at the Fifth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm, but his strength is a long greater than that. His skills are also rather excellent." Childe Wildfire admitted in an unexpected manner.

"So you won't be able to match him even at the Sixth Tribulation Stage?" Lin Mu asked directly this time.

"Possibly not… he is stronger than he looks. He hasn't even used half of his strength in the tournament so far." Childe Wildfire replied. "If you face him, be ready to lose quickly." He said before leaving.

With Childe Wildfire gone, Lin Mu and the others were left thinking about it for a bit.

"Hmm… even an arrogant expert like Childe Wildfire admits he's lower than the Third Prince… Surprising." Lu Xu muttered before looking at Qian Wen. "You are in the army, so you should know more about the prince, is what the guy said correct?" he asked.

Lin Mu took looked at Qian Wen, wanting to know more.

"The Third Prince, Feng Baxing might not be comparable to the Crown Prince but he is still in the top experts in the empire." Qian Wen replied. "He's demonstrated his skills a few times and there aren't many that can compare to him. He's mastered the Imperial Family's signature technique well." He explained.

"The Six Winds Monarch Technique?" Lu Xu seemed to know about it.

"Yes… while we don't know at what level he is at exactly with it, but he shouldn't be that far from the emperor." Qian Wen stated.

Lin Mu hadn't heard much about the Six Winds Monarch Technique and simply knew that it was the technique that only the Imperial Family of the Dao Wind Empire could cultivate.

Not only was it one of the top ranked cultivation techniques in the Rust Sky world, it also had a bloodline limitation on it that prevented others from using it.

'If even Childe Wildfire is not confident in facing the man, perhaps I'll have to take a different approach.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

The first thing he realized he needed to do was to learn more about the man. And that would begin with learning more about the cultivation technique he practiced.

'Looks like I'll have to take a look in the libraries…' Lin Mu thought to himself.

"What do we do now, brother?" Lu Xu inquired.

"We'll wait for Ming Aolian and Ming Dandan. They should be done soon enough." Lin Mu replied. "In the mean time, I'll go take a look around here." He added.

"Sure, we'll wait here." Qian Wen agreed while Lu Xu nodded his head as well.

With that said, Lin Mu let the two there while he went to check out the other areas in the pavilion. Though his true aim was to see what was hidden here.
