1568 The Loot From The Prince
Having grasped the seriousness of the situation, Lin Mu vowed to never speak about the technique.
“I shall never talk about it then, Senior.” Lin Mu stated.
“Good.” Xukong spoke, his voice still a bit heavy.
pAnDa (nov)e1 “But… will you be fine knowing this? Didn’t you say Karma can affect everything, even you?” Lin Mu asked curiously.
“I’ll be fine.” Xukong replied. “While Karma can affect me too… those trying to pry into it will only be walking into a trap if they do it with me.” He stated.
“A trap?” Lin Mu raised his brows in confusion.
“Let’s just say, the cost of doing something like that would be too high for them.” Xukong simply said.
“I see…” Lin Mu realized that Xukong might not be able to truly explain to him.
“You should not think about that for now. Just focus on the tasks at hand. You do have a lot of resources to gather, if you are to practice the technique.” Xukong said, changing the topic.
“Ah yes!” Lin Mu nodded his head. “Getting that Immortal Stone Mine just became even more important with the Omnicore Ascendancy. I’ll need it steady supply of Immortal Qi.” He spoke.
“I doubt, it’ll be anything more than a drop of water in the ocean. You’ll need a lot more than just that. Might be time for some long-term investments.” Xukong replied.
“I was thinking the same.” Lin Mu agreed. “I’ll have to get resource that can provide me a stable source of it all. The Violet Mystic Life Tree will be my first source of it all, but I’ll need more things likes it.” He spoke.
Lin Mu thought of seeking out more Immortal herbs that could produce elemental Qis or energies.
“Hmm… you might also have to look into Elemental Transformation Formation arrays. These can convert Non-elemental Qi into elemental Qi.” Xukong replied. “As well as natural treasures that gather Qi and other elemental energies, not just plants.” He suggested.
“Yes, I’ll look for all of them.” Lin Mu nodded his head. “And I think there’s something that might be able to help me with exactly that.” A certain grass loving cultivator came to Lin Mu’s mind.
“I think you can also start with something you’ve already obtained.” Xukong suddenly spoke.
“Oh? What do you mean Senior?” Lin Mu asked with interest.
“Do you remember the conversation that Eleventh Prince was having with those people?” Xukong reminded.
Lin Mu then recalled the loot that they were talking about.
“Of course!” Lin Mu said out loud. “Their spatial storage tools should have some information in it.”
“It’s already here.” Xukong interrupted.
“Huh? What do you mean Senior?” Lin Mu raised a brow.
“That prince… he probably kept his items in the ring too. And when the two rings merged the items within them did too.” Xukong replied. “I sensed a few things appearing here, that certainly weren’t here before.” He explained.
Hearing this, Lin Mu was surprised. But then excitement took over him.
“That’s great then. If the prince was with them, he certainly had a lot of information. Or had at least something substantial.” Lin Mu nodded his head.
He then closed his eyes, and sensed all the items that were within the ring’s space. It didn’t take him long to see the new items that had appeared in a slightly distant part of the ring. They were not kept with the other items and were just floating around randomly.
Lin Mu simply locked onto all of them, and waved his hand, summoning them in front of him.
~SHUA~
In the next second, all the items materialized in front of Lin Mu.
“That’s… a lot.” Seeing it with his own two eyes, Lin Mu realized just how much the prince had kept within his storage.
There was a significant pile of Immortal stones, as well as immortal essence crystals.
“He’s even got quite a lot of Immortal Essence crystals… though they’re barely a few percent of the immortal stones. But I guess that’s understandable considering how rare they are.” Lin Mu said as he checked out the items.
The immortal stones were the majority of the loot, and had thus taken up the front of the pile. Lin Mu moved past them and saw many other items like gold, silver, gems and other such wealth.
Lin Mu had plenty of them too so he didn’t pay much attention to them. Rather than that, his attention was caught by the herbs that were present in the pile.
“Oh! Aren’t these New Moon Lily Fruits?” Lin Mu recognized some of the Immortal fruits. “And this is a Rage Blood Lingzhi!” he discovered another valuable Immortal herb.
The Rage Blood Lingzhi was something that was unique to the Desolate Blood Battlefield and was used for several kinds of immortal pills.
This was just the start of the resources that were present in the loot. Lin Mu saw several more things like pill bottles, gourds, medicine boxes and entire shelves worth of common Immortal Qi replenishing pills!
He quickly did a count of all these things, before sorting them according to his own system.
“Looks like I won’t have to worry the Qi replenishing pills for a while.” Lin Mu was pleased with that.
These pills were cheaper, since they couldn’t actually be used to raise one’s cultivation base. Qi replenishing pills were a class of pills, that could only restore one’s Qi to a point where their natural storage was full. It could not increase it beyond that like certain cultivation pills.
Of course, with how large Lin Mu’s Qi stores actually were, he always needed more of these.
But after these, he found what he was truly desiring. There were hundreds of books and other documents in the pile too. This was where the true fortune was lying.
“Here it is…” Lin Mu quickly scanned through those documents and found a scroll that was made from beast leather.
It was similar to the map that depicted the location of the Immortal Essence crystal cache and looked old.
