Walker Of The Worlds-Novel

Chapter 467 - Completing The Recording

Lin Mu and Wu Hei discussed the plan for about two hours more before they were able to clarify the more fine points of it.

They had separated their duties of the plan and now knew what they needed to do. Wu Hei will be taking care of the background tasks of the plan, gathering information about the resource and shipments while Lin Mu will be the one who was actually going to attack them.

"Where is Hei Wan though?" Lin Mu asked feeling curious.

He had heard from Wu Hei that Hei Wan was safe but he didn’t know where she was or what she was doing.

"She is currently working as an attendant in one of the shops of Tri caution peony sect. She can hide there and also gather some information." Wu Hei answered.

"Hmm... that does seem good for the plan." Lin Mu replied.

"Indeed, once we get this started we will need to be quick. We can’t let Gu Yao or his allies get a whiff of this." Wu Hei said.

"Of course. Thankfully, with the people you are saving, we will get more people to gather intel. As long as I have the information I’m confident of doing it." Lin Mu stated.

"Good, I’ll contact you when I have enough details." Wu Hei replied.

Lin Mu registered Wu Hei’s communication jade slip with his and could now contact him at any time without needing to meet him. The two of them split after this and Lin Mu went back to the library at the mercenary union branch.

Lin Mu knew that even if Wu Hei was going to gather the information he still needed to do some parts on his own. Obtaining the information from the library would also be helping him in the long term and as such was quite important.

But while he was going towards the mercenary union’s branch, he felt his communication jade slip vibrate. He held it and realized that it was Refiner Ru contacting him.

"All your items are ready, you can come to collect them anytime you want." He said.

Lin Mu changed his direction and decided to directly go to the Gengbai Emporium to get the Harness that he had commissioned to be made.

"Greetings, Senior Wu Lian." The Shopkeeper spoke upon seeing Lin Mu.

"Mm, I’m here for the harness." Lin Mu spoke.

"Of course, we have it ready." The shopkeeper said before going to the other room and returning after a minute.

He had a dark leather harness in his hand and placed it on the counter.

"Please see if it is up to your standards," The shopkeeper said. "If you want changes to be made, we can do them." He added.

Lin Mu saw the harness which had multiple straps that firmly secured against the body of a beast. Its seat was firm yet soft and Lin Mu could tell that it had some excellent craftsmanship. The size was also perfect for Little Shrubby and because the straps were adjustable, even if he grew more the Harness would still fit him.

"Everything seems alright, I’ll take it." Lin Mu stated before picking the harness and storing it in his ring.

"Thank you for your patronage." The shopkeeper bade Lin Mu farewell, while hoping that he would return again.

High paying customers were always welcome no matter what kind of a business or shop it was. And any business man would want more of them to come in.

’Hmm... after I finish up with the books in the library, I should go to Little Shrubby and give him these things. Wonder how he’ll react...’ Lin Mu thought to himself.

He soon reached the mercenary union and entered it without bothering the clerks. They seemed absent currently and Lin Mu did not know where they had gone to. He estimated the time and could tell it was a little past noon.

"Are they having lunch, perhaps?" He wondered.

Pushing this thought to the back of his mind, Lin Mu opened the door of the library. The doors made some noise while being opened as well.

~Rumble~

It was evident that infrequent use had led to it losing its smoothness and now its hinges were getting rusty.

Lin Mu sat back in his previous position and took out more spirit stones to use for the million word transference formation.

~WENG~

The runes appeared in the air and the formation became active again. Books started trembling in their shelves and when Lin Mu finally placed the jade slip in the center, they all flew out of the shelves.

They floated over to the center and words started coming out of them before pouring into the jade slip. The formation was working well and Lin Mu could tell that its speed had even increased by a little bit.

"Your control is getting better," Xukong praised.

"It is all due to your guidance, senior." Lin Mu replied before fully focusing on the task at hand.

He continued using the formation and transferred all the information from the books into the jade slip one by one. It took him twelve hours, but he had finally completed the task and all of the books had been copied into the jade slip.

This gave rise to a thought in Lin Mu’s mind.

"Senior, if keeping the information in a jade slip is so convenient why do they not use it more?" Lin Mu questioned.

"They do that, of course. Did you forget that not everyone can afford them though? Only sects and rich organizations can afford to set them up though. Besides... for the amount that you bought that Jade slips, you would probably have been able to buy multiple copies of each book in this library." Xukong answered.

"Ah! I understand... I really did forget that, Hehe..." Lin Mu replied.

He looked out through one of the windows in the library and saw that the moon was already high up in the sky. It was starting to wane, which meant that it was the second half of the fortnight.
