Chapter 320: Entering The Lords Manor (1/2)

An entire hour had passed and Lin Mu was still drinking water. Perhaps it was due to staying in seclusion for extended periods of time or spending nearly every moment of his time with a beast who was none other than senior Xukong, Lin Mu's common sense had been twisted quite a bit.

He couldn't grasp the extreme strangeness of the act that he was doing right now. The amount of water that he had drunk in the past hour was perhaps enough for a single man to drink for a year already and he was still not stopping.

At this point, Lin Mu simply testing out the mortal limits of his body. Another thirty minutes passed and Lin Mu finally decided to stop. Not because he was full, but because he realized that in the time he had spent here, he could have perhaps covered most of the distance to Wu Lim city.

”Well, seems like the Nameless technique of the lost immortal is definitely working. I feel no different and can probably keep on drinking for a couple of hours more.” Lin Mu said as he wiped the water off his face.

”You sure you don't have the bloodline of a river swallowing toad?” Xukong joked.

Lin Mu chuckled and then continued on his journey.

While running he realized that the conversion of his body's cells into Xiantian Physique had started again, but the pace was quite slow. But any progress was good for him, as it had halted at 95% previously.

The time passed swiftly, and soon Lin Mu could see tall buildings in the distance. Little by little the buildings grew larger and more of them were visible. The most eye catching of all the building was the one that was located at the very back.

This building had multiple roofs and had statues of auspicious placed on them. Its roof was made from red tiles while its walls were made from green bricks. This was none other than the grand manor of the Mayor, the seat of power of the entire county.

Another building that was also quite big was the ancestral temple which was located at the very center of the city. Lin Mu could faintly see the myriad of characters that were carved into the temple walls and even the guardian gods that had been painted onto them.

At the eastern part, Lin Mu could see the shimmering water near which a few buildings were located.

”Hmm, so that is where the lord of the Hei Corps lives… but also where the stronghold of the disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect is located.” Lin Mu muttered.

Lin Mu had already been informed of the location of the lord's mansion as he was to go to him after reaching Wu Lim city. Though Lin Mu had a few things on his list that he wanted to do for a long time. The last time he came to Wu Lim city was about a year before the plague and was also the time when the martial competition was held. At that time he had gone there along with his father and had a lot of fun.

A sense of nostalgia filled Lin Mu as the memories of past reused back and just like this he reached the entrance of the city.

”Halt! Declare your identity and pay the tax.” The guard at the entrance stated.

”I am Mu Lin, and I'm just a traveler.” Lin Mu said a fake name before giving the guard two silver coins as tax.
