1419 The Saintess's Quick Observation
The ability to combine multiple skills had made Lin Mu a lot more excited about Wonder Seeker than before.
He was a bit unsure about how it would work out, but now that he knew the Immoral weapon could accommodate most things, it was a pleasure to him.
For example, the Qi skill he had made Searing Sparrow Darts was automatically adapted by the Wonder Seeker and turned into a flaming arrow. The same was down with his True Earth Heart Dao embryo and it had been used to make a stone arrow too.
The Stone arrow was imbued with the aspect of heaviness and made to turn heavy. It was how he had managed to stun his opponent, and now he would be using it to overwhelm more foes.
He had made it so that the Scoring Sorrow Darts were used as the distracting and the Aspect of heaviness was the true trump card. It had made it possible for Lin Mu to defeat the group of Saber Battle Union people at once.
Though he did wonder if it would have been possible with the other skills he had. After all, he had to restrict leftism from using the full extent of it. He had not used the Boulder collapsing fist, and neither had he used the ring’s skill at the full level.
Heck, he hadn’t even used his raw physical strength to fight.
Lin Mu was basically trying to restrain himself and see how far he could go. Only by doing it would he know what his limits truly were.
Honestly, with the cultivation he practiced and the multiple things he did at once, it had made it difficult for himself to estimate his expertise; at this point, the only method was to do it manically by himself.
The added abilities his new immortal tools only made it that much more important to test it out. The most complex thing was that they needed to be tested out on true opponent to be authenticated.
For example, Afternoon Pine was an immortal tool that was of the Qi skill type. Its utilization’s depended on how strong the user’s Qi skill was and how proficient he was with it. Other than that, it was hard to truly assess how strong one was with the Qi skill.
Lin Mu felt like he had learned in this brief time and it was the same for the loot he had obtained too. When he took a look through the spatial storage tools, he realized just how much of a profit he had made.
“Mid and high grade immortal stones, as well as several alchemical pills and even a few Qi skills….” Lin Mu checked his gains.
The items the Saber Battle union people had were limited, but it could also be attributed to their status.
It made sense to keep a minimal amount of things with you if one was in a business that could influence their life. It applied even if they were mercenaries and were on a mission in the city.
~huu~
Lin Mu appeared ten kilometers away from the site of the incident and took a breath of relief.
“It went a bit better than I had expected.” Lin Mu said as he took out the spatial storage tools.
He had obtained several of them and it was only normal to take a glance at all the spoils of wary. One might think that this was disgraceful, but in the world of Jianghu, there was little to care about stuff like this.
Lin Mu ended up finding several things that were useful to him in cultivation, as well as a lot of associated information that had been hidden away from the commoners. It allowed him to understand that even in the Immortal realm, there were many that didn’t prefer the commoners reaching their level.
This was why they exerted a soft power and prevented others from gaining any semblance of power in their efforts.
Lin Mu though didn’t mind all this. To him, whoever went against him would be an enemy, unless they could resolve their difference.
Done with all this, Lin Mu just decided to return to the courtyard he had rented.
What he didn’t notice was the fact that there were actually more people watching him this entire time.
“What do you think of this man?” one of the many people watching him spoke in a light voice.
If Lin Mu heard this voice, he would find it familiar.
This was because it belonged to none other than the people of the Great Kang Palace. About two kilometers from the site of the incident, a small group of people were standing. They were hidden under a Qi skill and could not be seen with the naked eyes.
Even Lin Mu would only be able to tell them if he used some level of the Qi skill. If not for that, it was easy for them to blend in with the area nearby.
“Miss, are you sure?” one of the workers of the pavilion responded.
“Yes, just let it be for now. I wish to see how all these things progress.” Lady Kang replied.
To her, all this was just a value for a joke and she did not care for it much. Though it wasn’t that she was uninterested in men, the only thing was that she didn’t find someone that could fit her values.
‘Still… for him to reach this level, I can’t help but be interested in his rise.’ Lady Kang’s inner thought said.
To her, this was also a type of an adventure, and the longer she spent in it, the better chances she would have to continue her work and learn more..
Taking this opportunity, Lin Mu simply got back to the courtyard, he had returned.
~SHUA~
~CREAK~
The door of the courtyard opened, and he could now see a myriad of small black dots that were scattered around the entire mansion.
“Now it makes sense as to wetness is present everywhere…” Lin Mu muttered, sensing the dense amount of water elemental Qi.
This was a surprising revelation to the party with what was also present around the long leaves merchant ship.
It had not taken Lin Mu to know exactly where he was. He could sense that the area around him was rich in water elemental Qi and there were also a lot of clouds appearing in the sky above him.
A few seconds later, when Lin Mu finally stepped into the courtyard, he heard a voice.
“You got into a conflict?” A voice questioned him.
“Yes I did, Saintess.” Lin Mu replied honestly, not caring about the entire thing.
He knew that the Saintess could watch everything with her perception, thus it was better for him to just be honest.
The Saintess watched Lin Mu from within the courtyard, sensing every fine change on his body.
Unlike what others might think, she could tell exactly what he had gone through.
‘More immortal tools and the presence of a Spiral Flake Crystal?’ the Saintess analyzed.
To her, the new immortal tools were nothing and she wouldn’t pay much attention to them, if not for the fact that each of these immortal tools had a remnant aura associated with them from their descended owners.
But the Saintess was not that prodding with Lin Mu. To her, these immortal tools were nothing.
After all, with her status, obtaining things at this level was an easy task.
To her, it didn’t matter if it was a mid grade immortal tool or a peak grade immortal tool. They both could be considered nearly the same at her status. It was in fact, her demeanor that could determine the final status of an object.
Instead of the Immortal tools, she was interested in the Spiral Flake crystal that Lin Mu had obtained.
‘A spiral Flake Crystal is something hard to find even in the Celestial worlds. If he has managed to get his hands on one, it must be a rare encounter. No wonder he has the traces of death and blood on him.’ The Saintess thought to herself.
Even for her, the Spiral Flake Crystal wasn’t too big of a thing. At most, it would make her concerned when someone discovered it.
And right now, the target of that was none other than Lin Mu.
Lin Mu waited in silence, wondering what the Saintess would tell him.
‘She might have some chiding words perhaps…’ Lin Mu reckoned.
But much to his surprise, there was not much of anything.
“Hmm… there are some traces left behind from your conflict. You need to learn to erase them.” The Saintess said.
~SHUA~
Then, in the next moment, Lin Mu felt a wave of energy wash over his body. It was none other than the Dao of Air and covered him entirely. It essentially wiped away any traces of the Spiral Flake Crystals and the other Immortal tools he had obtained recently.
Realizing all this, Lin Mu felt surprised and grateful.
“Thank you Saintess, for your help.”
