Chapter 579: The Tunnels Below The Mountain (1/2)

”Perhaps only my grandfather will have any idea about how the sword really works. If there is anyone who can do it then it will be the number one Weapon refiner in the world!” Jing Luo claimed in a prideful tone.

One could tell from his voice that he truly believed this. Lin Mu nodded as well as Jing Wei was the only man he had seen that had skills such as that and was even praised by Senior Xukong. The latter part was of the greatest importance.

”That's probably true.” Lin Mu agreed.

”Sad that we won't be able to take it with us…” Jing Luo spoke.

”Huh? What do you mean?” Lin Mu questioned.

”The sword does not allow us to carry it and neither does it want to be kept into a spatial storage treasure.” Jing Luo replied.

”Can I try it?” Lin Mu asked, having an idea.

~Sigh~

”Sure… I guess it doesn't really matter much now. Either we get it now, or just leave it here anyway.” Jing Luo said, fully expecting the sword to run away again.

'Perhaps I'll have to patch up the roof again. It has already made enough holes that I ended up turning the roof holes into a skylight.' Jing Luo thought.

Lin Mu simply nodded his head and approached the Great Sword. It did not react to him, even when he was at the very side of it. It was just like Jing Luo had stated, the sword would only respond when someone touched it.

Lin Mu extended his right hand and touched the great sword's handle. The great sword trembled and at that moment, Jing Luo braced his head; as once the great sword had broken through the roof and the fragments had fallen on top of his head. While it had not injured him greatly, he still had a bump on his head for a couple of days.

”H-how?!!” Jing Luo said in the next moment, feeling absolutely shocked.

The great sword had disappeared into thin air, which was proof that it had been stored into a spatial storage treasure.

”See, it isn't really a problem.” Lin Mu spoke.

Jing Luo couldn't help but look at the gold ring with green patterns on Lin Mu's hand. Lin Mu had already told him it was Jing Wei who had made the ring so he thought that was where the Great Sword was stored.

”Grandfather's craft has only gotten better over time…” Jing Luo murmured.

”Well then, where is the tunnel that leads to the Spirit stone mine?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Ah, yes. I almost forgot.” Jing Luo said, recovering from the shock. ”Follow me. The tunnel is quite deep in the mountain. I've been digging it for nearly twenty years now.” He added.

Lin Mu followed behind the man and continued inward. Jing Luo got to the very back of the residence, where a pair of stone gates were erected. Lin Mu could tell that these were handmade and there were formations carved on them, too.
