Chapter 499: An Opportunity To Observe (1/2)

The person who had just appeared was none other than Shaoyan Qianyu, who was the peak master of the Herb Peak. The woman looked liked she was in her late thirties, yet still had a special charm.

She had no wrinkles on her face, but there were a few strands of white hair on her head that could be seen. She was wearing the robes of a peak master with the symbol of the Herb peak embroidered on them.

On her face, there was a rather calm look as she strolled to the vault.

~swish~

She waved her hand and a small jade appeared in her palm. As soon as the jade appeared in her hand the formations on the vault started to light up and a wave of spirit Qi fluctuations could be perceived.

Lin Mu instantly knew what was the jade in her hand.

”The key to the vault…” He muttered.

”Quick! Don't waste this opportunity. Look at the formations and observe how they are unraveling. It will make it much easier for you to do it later.” Xukong prompted.

”Yes, senior!” Lin Mu responded before focusing on the formations of the vault.

He saw how each layer reacted to the key and the specific waves of spirit Qi that were released from it one by one. Lin Mu memorized the patterns and the order of their movement. The process was rather quick, lasting only two minutes, but even in that Lin Mu reckoned that he had seen at least a hundred layers of formations.

”Thankfully, I get the chance to observe it opening, or I would have had a bad time unlocking them one by one. Not to mention there are three more of these vaults, each with a different formation array.” Lin Mu muttered to himself.

After the formations were finally open, the door of the vault moved to the side, giving one the view of what was inside. There were a lot of boxes and containers kept in the vault, each of which was made from special preservative materials.

Some of them were made out of fragrant wood that helped maintain the qualities of the herbs kept in them, which some were made out of precious blue jade that kept the herbs cool. In addition to this, each of these containers were inscribed with more formations.

Overall, the security was top notch. Thankfully, Lin Mu only needed to enter the vault, as after that he would be able to store everything in the ring at once. The peak master Shaoyan Qianyu entered the vault and went to a specific shelf.

There was a brocade box kept on it which gleamed with the glow of formations. She traced her finger over it and made a seal before the box opened. Lin Mu couldn't see what was in the box from this angle and neither could he risk using his spirit sense to see it, as there was a chance that the woman would sense him.
