Chapter 187: Tracing The Formation (1/2)

Following senior Xukong's advice, Lin Mu tried it again. He extended his spirit sense all the way to the place where he had observed the node and started tracing it from there again. Alas, he made a mistake again and lost track of it again.

~Sigh~

'I need to think of a better method.' Lin Mu thought.

Lin Mu didn't know why he was doing this. He just felt like this was something new and interesting, thus he wanted to know more about it. He had seen the beast storage treasure and knew that it had formations on it too. But their level was too high for him to be able to sense them.

Now that he had this opportunity to observe and study formation here, he didn't want to stop. Luckily it was night time and the place Lin Mu was in was a rather desolate part of the town, where people rarely went past in day time not to say at night.

After a few more attempts, Lin Mu decided to chant the severing heart sutra while tracing the formation. He had already tried the calming heart sutra, but it was not suitable for this situation where he needed to be completely still.

This time Lin Mu had better success and was able to go much further than before.

'Yes! This is it!' Lin Mu shouted inwardly in excitement.

But just as he thought this, he had accidentally stopped chanting the severing heart sutra and had faltered in his concentration. Swearing to himself that he'll focus better this time, Lin Mu tried again. He had been here for about an hour now and the snow had started falling again.

In his latest attempt, Lin Mu was able to trace the branch of the formation to the next node and found it to be present on the wall of one of the old shops. He walked closer and touched it with his hand.

”Nothing… Just as Senior said.” Lin Mu muttered to himself.

When Lin Mu touched the wall, he could not feel it to be any different from a normal wall. But when he touched it with his spirit sense, he could see the difference in the texture. It was as if there were countless patterns made on the wall that could only be felt by him.

”That should be the second node,” Xukong informed upon seeing Lin Mu feeling a little lost.

Lin Mu's eyes lit up at this, and he kept on exploring further. He must have spent nearly two hours there at this point and had forgotten about time. Because he was standing still for most of the time, a layer of snow had settled on his head and shoulders by now.
