Chapter 688: A Technique (2/2)

~Sigh~

”Seems like we will be focusing on Hong Lin trees even more than I thought. Though having obtained this technique is more than enough reason to come to the Hong Lin kingdom. I can't say we've wasted our time here now, despite the fact that we have basically failed with the Hei corps.” Lin Mu said while shaking his head.

”Indeed. Like I said before, there are opportunities everywhere and all you need to do is search for them.” Xukong spoke.

”I understand now, senior.” Lin Mu said before putting the technique's scroll back where he found it.

He had already memorized it and had even made a copy of its contents in another jade slip. Thus, he no longer needed it, plus he didn't want to steal it from its rightful owners. The Hong Lin kingdom had not directly harmed him yet and thus he didn't want to harm them either.

Even if they did end up harming the Hei corps, it was not something Lin Wu could blame them for. With that said and done, Lin Mu swept through the rest of the repository, reading and gathering information that was of use to him.

There were some minor pieces of information that came to his use and cleared some of the doubts that he had about the empire as well and thus he felt that this was all useful to him.

Once he was done, Lin Mu checked the entire repository to make sure that no one would find that he was here and left it. He observed the king, his uncle Kou and also the two disciples only to find them cultivating now as well.

”Hmm… this makes it easier. I'll go check up on Jing Luo and see how he's doing before doing other things.” Lin Mu muttered to himself and quickly left the royal palace.

In a few minutes, Lin Mu was already in the courtyard, which he had rented for the month. He used his spirit sense and saw that Jing Luo was still deep in assimilating the knowledge. He had also set up a barrier around his room to prevent any sound or someone from disturbing him.

”Hmm, guess I'll leave him alone for now and go do other tasks.” Lin Mu said before leaving the hall.

It was now nighttime and the streets were filled with people going about their tasks. Some were walking around, enjoying their time and eating at the various restaurants and food stalls that were located in the city.

There were children playing around while their parents looked after them. There were also several cultivators that were selling things here.

”I may as well check out the market and see how things fare.” Lin Mu said before he wandered through the streets.

There were many areas in the capital city, and they were divided according to their purpose. There was the food street that was filled with restaurants, the entertainment street that had brothels, pleasure pavilions, taverns and gambling houses, and finally shopping streets where various goods and items were sold.

Lin Mu of course, decided to visit the food street first and partake in the unique cuisine of the Hong Lin kingdom.

”This will be fun…”
