Chapter 314 - Checking The Spoils
Lin Mu chased after the Junior elder but the man used some kind of a skill and increased his speed by fourfold, escaping.
"DAMMIT!" Lin Mu cursed.
Lin Mu had not expected that the man would escape mid way through the Battle.
"You can find him later, you know where he would turn up," Xukong spoke.
Lin Mu then remembered what the four men were here for.
"Yes, if they were here to find a gift for that sister Ye Zi Jin, then they are bound to be at Wu Lim City later. I just need to bide my time and find them there. If I inform Hei Wen, she should be able to help me, at least that guy doesn’t know who I am." Lin Mu spoke.
But Lin Mu knew that he would have to find the man before he fiend’s him and eliminate him, or there could be big problems.
Lin Mu returned to the site of the battle and checked the three corpses. He gathered their weapons and found the three swords to be low grade spirit weapons. Lin Mu held them and channeled spirit qi into them only to find there to be Resistance.
"Huh, so this is how low grade weapons are like..." Lin Mu muttered to himself.
He stored them in the ring and then searched the bodies. He took the bangle from the senior brother’s arm and looked at it.
"He called this the spirit qi sensing bangle, right?" Lin Mu spoke before trying it out.
Lin Mu read through the booklet and realized that this was the qi skill that the junior elder Fa Shiu had used.
"This is good, at least I got some spirit stones and pills along with this qi skill." Lin Mu said.
Lin Mu read the booklet and saw that the name of the skill was minor fireball technique.
"That’s rather simple." Lin Mu muttered as he continued reading the instructions.
Five minutes later he had learned them and he tried to follow the method that was described in it.
A few seconds later, a small fire ball was floating in Lin Mu’s hand.
"I thought this would be harder? Learning the Boulder collapsing fist was a hundred times more difficult than this." Lin Mu said as he felt a bit surprised.
If the Junior elder were to see what Lin Mu had just done, his jaw would be wide open. Lin Mu had just learned a totally new qi skill in five minutes.
Lin Mu looked at the fireball in his hand and played with it for a bit, before understanding how it worked. He then threw the fireball onto the headless corpse of the Junior brother and watched it get reduced to ashes.
Seeing that this was rather effective, he threw fireballs on the other two corpses as well and turned them to ashes as well.
"This will make it convenient to cook, nice." Lin Mu spoke, feeling a bit happy.
He amplified his hand with spirit qi and waved it hard towards the ashes, blowing them away. He then stored the trunk faced cow’s corpse in the ring as well and started his journey back to the northern town. Now that he had the beast core of a beast with an awakened bloodline, Lin Mu wanted nothing more than to practice the method to refine and prepare it for assimilation.
But before that, he needed to info Hie Wen of what happened and to keep an eye out for that Junior elder named Fa Shiu. While running away, the man had gone in the eastern direction but Lin Mu knew that he could have gone anywhere from there.
’It will be faster for the Hei Corps to find that guy rather than me roaming around.’ Lin Mu thought.
