Chapter 499 - An Opportunity To Observe
The person who had just appeared was none other than Shaoyan Qianyu, who was the peak master of the Herb Peak. The woman looked liked she was in her late thirties, yet still had a special charm.
She had no wrinkles on her face, but there were a few strands of white hair on her head that could be seen. She was wearing the robes of a peak master with the symbol of the Herb peak embroidered on them.
On her face, there was a rather calm look as she strolled to the vault.
~swish~
She waved her hand and a small jade appeared in her palm. As soon as the jade appeared in her hand the formations on the vault started to light up and a wave of spirit Qi fluctuations could be perceived.
Lin Mu instantly knew what was the jade in her hand.
"The key to the vault..." He muttered.
"Quick! Don’t waste this opportunity. Look at the formations and observe how they are unraveling. It will make it much easier for you to do it later." Xukong prompted.
"This... is quite simple..." Lin Mu said upon seeing the plain things in the residence.
There was nary an item that could be called as luxurious here. The furniture was made out of basic wood and some of it was made from stone. He saw the teapot and teacups which were made from clay, and then the set of brushes that were made out of donkey hair.
"Hmm... this woman is rather sober." Xukong said upon witnessing it.
"Indeed. Even the peak master Yi Deng’s residence in Wu Lim city was much better than this. Except for the high concentration of spirit Qi in the air, there is no luxury here." Lin Mu agreed.
Lin Mu saw Shaoyan Qianyu enter a pill refinement room and begin her work. There were already a lot of herbs kept in the room along with other materials like minerals, beast parts, and natural treasures.
There was also a black cauldron kept in the center of the room, on which there were many runes carved. The cauldron looked old, but a faint medicinal fragrance could be felt coming from it. It was evident that this was a pill cauldron that had been used for pill refinement for a long time.
"It’s a Dark Iron Alchemical Cauldron. It’s a rather simple type of a cauldron but it’s compatible with nearly any type of pill. Still, with the large number of runes that have been carved into it, the cauldron is no less than a high grade spirit tool." Xukong explained.
"I see..." Lin Mu said as he watched Shaoyan Qianyu begin her work.
She flipped her palm and closed her eyes. A few seconds later wisps of spirit Qi rose from her palm and then started to condense together before forming into ring like shape. The wisps kept on collapsing within themselves and then they ignited.
"Whoa... a blue flame?"
