Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu was now standing near a place that he had avoided that very afternoon. It was none other than the Alluring wisteria pavilion. He peeked at its entrance and saw that there was no decrease in the number of people coming and going.

~Sigh~

"This will be a bit tough." Lin Mu said to himself.

He was a bit unwilling to use this location as there were a lot of people here, but on the other hand, the spatial channel here was at the perfect place. If he went a bit too far, there was a chance the letter may pass through before he got it.

"You should be able to change it a bit if you try it. You have a bit of experience with using the spatial attribute qi, so use that and try to perceive the changes in the teleportation channel." Xukong advised.

"Alright Senior, I'll try that." Lin Mu said while nodding.

He then found a different location that was a bit isolated but also had one of the black dots located in it. This place was in between a tree and a street stall. The stall was closed, and no one was there currently, making it easy for Lin Mu to hide.

He extended his hand over the black dot and focused. He was not using his spirit sense, but rather his spatial sense. It was much more difficult for him to use it, but after a minute he felt like he was able to get a grasp over something.

It was a thin layer that existed in front of him, but it was immaterial. He started using the spirit qi in his dantian and powered the ring with it, before forcibly changing the path of the teleportation channel.

~Haa~

Lin Mu grunted as sweat dripped down from his forehead. This had taken a toll on his mind, but he did not dare to lose focus even for a second. Finally, a minute later the Black dot started expanding and opened up into a rift.

"I DID IT!" Lin Mu said with excitement.

He looked at the spatial rift and found it to be relatively stable. But when he looked at his dantian, he was a bit surprised. It had taken him nearly fifty drops of liquid spirit qi to forcibly change the path of the teleportation channel.

This was even higher than when he forcibly put that servant into the ring. Which now that he thought of it, he needed to dispose of. 

"Hmm, you should be able to reduce the consumption once your proficiency increases," Xukong said upon seeing the results.

Lin Mu nodded and turned his eyes back to the spatial rift. He closed his eyes and could feel something approaching fast from the teleportation channel. Lin Mu put his hand inside the rift and caught the object in his hand.

He pulled it out and opened his eyes.

"Hahaha! I got it." Lin Mu said before putting the letter into his ring.

He then withdrew the fake letter that he had written and put that into the spatial rift instead. Lin Mu then willed it, and the spatial rift started closing. A few seconds later it was gone and no traces of it could be found.

~phew~

"Finally, it is done," Lin Mu said.

The idea to replace the letter with a fake one had come to Lin Mu after remembering how he had taken the Four vessels restoration pills from the mayor and had put a small stone in it back then. He had seen the letter that the Tri cauldron peony sect had sent the mayor, and it was mentioned in it that the mayor had claimed to have received a stone instead of the pills.

This confirmed it for Lin Mu that objects that were traveling through a teleportation channel could be relapsed and that they will still reach their intended location. Another thing was that he no longer felt sad at having stolen the Four vessels restoration pills from the mayor, seeing how he was involved in the blood sacrifice.

In fact, if he got the chance again, he would do it again.

"Now to rest for a bit… today was a long day." Lin Mu said as he started to go back.

He was passing over the roofs when he spotted someone below. Lin Mu abruptly stopped and almost fell down, but was able to gain control of his balance.

"The man from that house?" Lin Mu said after seeing the old man called Lord Cai below.

He was entering the building, which was none other than the Alluring wisteria pavilion. He could see that the women there were quite excited upon seeing the old man, and even the workers that were from the establishment had come out to greet him.

Lin Mu could not hear what they were talking about clearly, but the old man was speaking something. Lord Cai pointed to a carriage that was standing to the side and whispered something in the ears of the manager who had walked from the Alluring Wisteria pavilion.

Then Lin Mu saw the door of the carriage open and out walked none other than the three disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect, which he had hidden from inside a rock just an hour ago.

"What are they doing here? That too with the old man…" Lin Mu wondered.

He then thought over it a bit and realized that it could be something related to the incident he had caused earlier. That explosion was quite loud and the stronghold of the Tri cauldron peony sect was only two blocks from that house.

Lin Mu deliberated over it for a bit before deciding to check it out, regardless. But he knew that he would not be able to use the disguise he used before. 

Lin Mu used phase and sank through the building he was standing on top of like a stone in water. He entered the grounds and went near the disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect and Lord Cai. Luckily they were not checking everything with their spirit sense or they would have detected him being right below them.

"Let's see what they are here for…"
