Chapter 514: Yulong And The Inheritance (1/2)

~Sigh~

”Such is the world of cultivation…” Lin Mu muttered to himself, unable to really put Fang Jiao at fault.

If it was him in the same position and he did not have the mysterious ring, he probably would have done the same thing.

”You will see far too many similar things in the future. The fortunate encounters are there for those that want to risk it and sacrifice for it. Those who hesitate will fall and never come out on top.” Xukong spoke.

~huu~

”I understand senior.” Lin Mu said.

”Good, now you should continue reading the thing to see what else he experienced,” Xukong replied.

Lin Mu nodded his head and flipped the page. The rest of the entries were not as detailed as before and were kept brief. Lin Mu reckoned that this was probably due to the altered mental state of Jiao Fang and his guilt.

After having killed his companions, he returned to his sect but not before hiding the five spatial storage rings full of treasures some place safe. At the sect, he reported the death of his companions and fabricated a story of how they were killed by the Scale Backed storks.

The sect didn't have a hard time believing something like this as disciple dying in difficult missions like these was not that uncommon. Besides, all of them were outer court disciples who were not as much worth to the sect.

If the sect wanted, they could have ten times as many outer court disciples as they had right now recruited within a couple of days. It was their own choice that they didn't want that many people so as to not lower the quality of disciples too much.

Still, there was some scrutiny that Jiao Fang had to undergo to verify the things. Thankfully, the sect was leaning on the fact that what Jiao Fang was telling was the truth and thus they didn't question him that much.

Jiao Fang also did not act unnaturally and stayed within the sect for about a year. His cultivation base also did not improve, and he just did some menial missions to get by. When another year passed and the incident was completely over, Jiao Fang finally decided to act.

He took back the treasure and slowly started to grow his cultivation base so as to stay away from prying eyes of suspicion. Over the years, he would explore the other locations mentioned in the books and gain more clues.

Each location that he went to was an inheritance site and Jiao Fang was able to overcome them due to the help of the now-dead nascent Soul realm cultivator. Apparently, he had already prepared all the things that would be needed to overcome the different sites and had actually scouted them out beforehand.

It was evident that the man had been preparing all this for a few years now, perhaps even decades; only for him to die due to a mistake.

With the tools having been handed to him on a silver platter, Jiao Fang was able to gain the inheritance from three more locations before he came upon the final inheritance ground. This inheritance ground was said to be bigger than all of the previous ones combined and was hidden in a secret location.
