Chapter 812 - The Guests Are Pleased (1/2)

When Hua Wu and Hua San reported to the Noon Grass sect, they were met with great acceptance. Them finding the Thousand year old Hong Lin wood was the same as giving the supreme elder a new lease on life.

This was enough to win the hearts of the elders, and they asked what the two disciples wanted for a reward. Of course, the two of them asked what Lin Mu had requested of them. This came as a shock to the elders of the Noon grass sect and even their master, Daoist Hua was a bit taken aback.

They gave them the summary of all that had happened and told them that they should meet Lin Mu. Daoist Hua being the patriarch had to be a bit more cautious of course and asked them for more things in detail before finally agreeing to it.

Though what he was more intrigued by was none other than Lin Mu. From all that he had heard, this boy was the same Lin Mu that was wanted on the entire continent by now and had created great havoc before.

And hearing that he was already at the Dao Shell realm at his age was the most shocking thing to Daoist Hua. At that point, even if it were not for the situation with Gu Yao or the alliance, Daoist Hua would still insist on meeting him.

Finally, now that he was face to face with Lin Mu, Daoist Hua realized that what he had heard till now was not even half of it.

Daoist Hua was an experienced man and had seen a lot in the thousands of years he had lived. He could be considered to be of the same generation as that of Jing Wei, the grandfather of Jing Luo and the patriarch of the Jing Clan.

Even if he had guided his sect on a different path than most other sects and had chosen secrecy and facade as the face of it, he was not weak, nor was he foolish. He knew what it entailed for someone like Lin Mu to appear.

After all, even if someone was given unlimited resources, achieving what Lin Mu did was not easy to do alone. What it meant to Daoist Hua was that there was someone else guiding him.

And it was this very person that he was the most interested in. After all, for someone to be able to guide a junior like this from no cultivation to the Dao Shell realm was an achievement on its own.

For a teacher to have an outstanding student, he needed to be outstanding as well.

This was why Daoist Hua was a bit doubtful and wondered if the rumors mentioned by the Sky precepts sect about Lin Mu were true; that he was in fact an old man that had disguised himself.

But now that he checked it himself, he had found out the truth. And the truth was far more shocking than the falsehoods. Lin Mu had thought that Daoist Hua was checking his cultivation base, but that was not entirely correct.

What he was doing in reality, was checking his true age. It could be done through a few techniques that were used by sects to ensure that their disciples were within the limits prescribed by them.

Spirit tools were usually used for this, but Daoist Hua had individual techniques that could be used as well.

'It truly is like that… a twenty one year old Dao Shell realm cultivator… either this world is truly progressing, or someone is interfering in it.' Daoist Hua thought to himself.
