Chapter 309: Four Hooded Men (1/2)

Lin Mu let out a sigh filled with fatigue after he finished listening to Senior Xukong's words. He recooked that it would be better to just focus on the task at hand and continue looking for a beast with an awakened bloodline.

”Senior, is there any easier way to find a beast with an awakened bloodline?” Lin Mu questioned curiously.

”There are of course, but I'm afraid none of them are possible for you to use. There are special spirit tools that can do help in searching beasts with an awakened bloodline, but I doubt anyone in this world even knows something like that exists not to mention having one.” Xukong answered.

Lin Mu nodded in understanding and continued his hunt. He ended up hunting for about two more hours before deciding to head back for the day.

'At least now that spring is here, the sun doesn't go down as early.' Lin Mu thought to himself while returning.

He followed his routine and cultivated for a few hours before lying down on the bed and appearing in the Sleepscape. Lately, Lin Mu had been reading up on the records that Jing Wei had given him. He realized that there were a lot of things he didn't know, and as these things were native to this world, Senior Xukong could not help him in this aspect either.

He would practice the thousand armament blade scripture and then the nameless technique of the lost immortal before reading the records. He had learned quite a few things that included the history of the continent, the geography, and also the Powers of the continent.

Lin Mu also found out that there were around twenty five kingdoms in the great Zhou empire and that the number of sects was even more than this. The exact number of cultivation sects was difficult to say, as new ones would appear and disappear every few years.

But the one thing that remained constant was the top ten sects. Their numbers had stayed the same for the past thousand years, and they had always been ruling over the cultivators in a way. Lin Mu suddenly felt lightheaded and realized that he should probably sleep now.

Thus another day began, and Lin Mu went to hunt. This time he changed the location and went towards the North eastern part of the forest, seeing that he was having no luck in the middle or the North western part. Lin Mu wondered if he'll just end up practicing for the first time with the Great slumber bear itself if he was not able to find any beast with an awakened bloodline.

Two hours passerby by in the blink of an eye during which he was able to Hunt three spirit beasts but sadly none of them had an awakened bloodline.

While walking, Lin Mu suddenly realized that he had reached the area that was rather close to the place where he found the Dual circle Ascension fruits. He decided to check up on it and wondered if the bewildering formation was still there or not.

Five minutes later Lin Mu reached the location and discovered there to be people there.

”Huh, what?” Lin Mu muttered before quickly hiding.

Lin Mu knew that the mercenaries had already stopped their mission and were no longer hunting any more beasts in the forest and the hunters would not dare come in this far deep into the forest either. This left only one option.

'Cultivators? But from where?' Lin Mu thought as he peeked from the side of a tree.
