Chapter 511: Jiao Fangs Secret (1/2)
In Jiao Fang's residence, what Lin Mu saw could only be described as a treasure trove. There were literally mountains of gold coins and gems lying around along with spirit tools and what looked like pill bottles.
Had it not been for the basic formation that isolated the spirit Qi fluctuations coming from outside and inside the residence, the residence would have been nothing less than a bright beacon, shining in the middle of the night.
Even Lin Mu, who had a substantial amount of wealth currently was astounded on seeing all this.
”How….” Was the only word that came out of his mouth.
”Ahh~ Home sweet home,” Jiao Fang said as he tossed the badge he had been wearing the entire time into one of the piles of treasure.
He then went to a bed which looked to be made out of solid jade and had a mattress made out of what could only be the finest of silk spun by an Arctic Frost Silkworm. Even the bed itself was a spirit tool that could help one in cultivation and would help one restore their mental condition when they slept in it.
While lying on the bed, Jiao Fang took out the page from his sleeve and opened it. Lin Mu took this opportunity to take a look at what was written on the page. He stood right behind the bed and leaned out slightly from the floor.
”Let's see… where is the next clue to the inheritance…” Jiao Fang said as he read the page.
Lin Mu saw it too, but couldn't find anything special in it. The page described some cultivation experiences of a cultivator by the name of Yulong. Lin Mu reckoned that this was the person who had made that book.
Jiao Fang read the page multiple times before nodding his head in understanding. Lin Mu on the other hand, was completely in the dark about what this all was. He was as confused as a fish in the sky and could only wait for Jiao Fang to say something.
But the man didn't do anything and simply folded the page, putting it back into his sleeve before closing his eyes.
”Is he… sleeping?” Lin Mu questioned.
~snore~
”Oh yeah, he's sleeping alright…” Lin Mu confirmed.
”This man is really carefree, isn't he?” Xukong said.
”Indeed senior. All this treasure and barely any security. It's as if he's not scared of this getting stolen at all.” Lin Mu replied.
”Though if you think of it this way… he's hiding the things by not hiding anything at all. If he put up additional security, there is bound to be someone that notices this. Not to mention if he started to act as if he had treasure and behaved like that it would become suspicious too.
But being as he is now, there is a very minute chance that anyone would even doubt him. No one would think that an inner court disciple would have enough treasures to make even the sect master jealous.” Xukong said.
”That's true. There is no way all of this was earned by him.” Lin Mu said.
