Lin Mu knew that geomancy was an important aspect in the setting of large-scale formation arrays. He had not yet done any progress on that aspect simply due to the fact that he had not gotten to setting any of them himself.
While he had indeed manipulated and changed them, he had not created them from the start. And since Geomancy was something that needed practical experience in order to learn it, Lin Mu had no proficiency with it yet.
Thus, he was interested in the demarcation that was made in the sect. After crossing over to the next side, Lin Mu could feel the change in the aura as well and faintly sensed the flow of energy in the environment.
'It is certainly different.' Lin Mu took note.
The border soon passed, and Lin Mu arrived at the main peak. The main peak was rather empty looking and no one could be seen on it.
"Is this place like this most of the time?" Lin Mu asked, remembering how the other peaks of the sects were.
"The main peak only has the sect patriarch, his personal disciples, and the supreme elder residing on it. The other members of the sect only go there when summoned or if they need to ask something.
Plus, our sect is very vast and has a lot of space with proportionately fewer disciples. The disciples get a lot of space for them to live privately; the largest in any of the top sects." Elder Weimin explained, with the last part being said proudly.
"Ah, I see." Lin Mu responded, but then thought of something.
"But if Patriarch is not at the sect, who are we going to talk to here?" Lin Mu questioned.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"The supreme elder of course." Elder Weimin answered.
"Huh? Has he recovered already?" Lin Mu asked, raising his brows.
"He still has a while to recover fully, but this should not be a problem for him. After all, he can still deal with the sect matters relating to the normal decisions since he doesn't need his cultivation for it.
While the sect patriarch is out, the supreme elder is the in charge." Elder Weimin replied.
Lin Mu could only nod his head in response and head into the large hall that was located at the top of the mountain. It was rather peculiar looking since it hung off a cliff and half of it was suspended in the air.
Lin Mu entered the building under the supervision of Elder Weimin and was quickly brought to an inner room. This was not the central area where all the matters were discussed, but rather a separate room in it.
"The Supreme elder resides in his own residence in the hall. Plus, since he's injured, the room is especially conducive to healing." Elder Weimin spoke.
"That's rather good." Lin Mu said and finally came to stand in front of the door.
Jing Luo looked at Lin Mu and nodded at him in assurance.
"Please come in," A voice came from inside, before Lin Mu even got the chance to say anything.
"We are coming in, Supreme elder." Elder Weimin said as a formality before opening the doors.
The two doors slid apart and the interior was revealed. In there, Lin Mu could see a few formations that were painted onto the floor and were lightly glowing. They let out very faint vibrations that were hard to sense normally.
But coming into contact with them, Lin Mu could feel some of his injuries healing faster.
'This is better than I thought. I need to take note of this.' Lin Mu thought.
"It won't really do you much benefit though." Xukong suddenly spoke.
"Huh? What do you mean, senior? It seems to be working pretty well." Lin Mu replied.
"It is for now, yes, but the healing will only be temporary and for your surface wounds. For normal cultivators, this would be very good, but for you who has the Xiantian physique and body cultivation of two treasured organs, it would barely make a dent." Xukong explained.
Hearing this, Lin Mu understood.
"So in simple terms… I'm beyond the capabilities of the formation." Lin Mu muttered.
"Yes… at least for a formation of this level. There are other healing formations that will be effective on you of course." Xukong replied.
Lin Mu hummed in agreement and finally gazed upon the man who was sitting on a meditation pillow in the back of the room. He rested his back against a bolster and had his eyes closed.
In his hands, a set of beads could be seen. He was rolling the beads between his thumb and index finger, as if praying. The man opened his eyes and gazed at the youthful face of Lin Mu.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Greetings, Junior Lin Mu. I have been wanting to meet you for a long time now." The supreme elder spoke.
"Greetings, Supreme elder. It is nice to finally meet you too." Lin Mu replied.
"No, no… the pleasure is all mine. I am very grateful to you and owe you my life. After all, if it were not for you, Hua San and Hua Wu might have never found thousand year old Hong Lin trees.
If I am alive here today, it is because of you." The supreme elder spoke.
He then stood up and cupped his hands before bowing his head. Seeing this, Lin Mu was rather surprised and the eyes of the disciples that had accompanied them went wide.
"This… there is no need for this," Lin Mu wanted to stop the elder.
"No… this old man named Hua Langya will forever be grateful to you." The supreme elder said.
Jing Luo lightly patted Lin Mu on the back and gestured him to go ahead.
"Please stand up Supreme Elder Langya, this is enough." Lin Mu said, finding it a bit overwhelming for him.
The old man finally accepted and stood back up normally.
"Please sit, we shall talk about what happened." The old man gestured.
A pair of disciples rushed in at this point and quickly set up the pillows for everyone to sit in the room. It was all very efficient.
