Chapter 520 - A Shrine And Bilao
Lin Mu’s eyes lit up as he liked this plan. For the first time, he had a concrete plan that would work.
"Alright then, I’ll do this and get the key first." Lin Mu said.
"Yup. And by then I’ll get the diversion of the other two vaults ready. It will take me a bit to check around and get to you." Jiao Fang spoke in a serious tone.
He then took out a jade slip from his spatial storage ring and held it out for Lin Mu.
"Here, register this in your communication jade slip so we can talk in the sect." Jiao Fang said.
Lin Mu gladly obliged and registered the Qi signature of Jiao Fang in his own communication jade slip.
"I’ll leave for the shrine now." Lin Mu said.
"You need to be careful then, and hide well. Even if some disciples see you and it is accidentally reported you may get found out and the patriarch may come to check up on the shrine before time." Jiao fang said.
"You don’t need to be concerned about that, I got a plan." Lin Mu said before he left the residence and closed the door behind him.
Jiao Fang waited a few seconds before taking a peek outside, but was then shocked.
"Huh? Where the hell did he disappear to?" Jiao Fang said, feeling bewildered.
~Sigh~
After all, unless they used their spirit sense to check the ground, they would never realize that Lin Mu had been hidden there all along.
Once the formation let him in, Lin Mu rose up to the floor of the shrine and saw a box kept at the back.
"That should be it..." Lin Mu muttered as he opened it.
"There we go," Lin Mu said as his eyes lit upon seeing the key to the vault inside.
This key was in the form of a formation plate and was made out of metal, along with a few precious gems. It was evidently of a much higher quality than the formation plate that Lin Mu had used to set up the illusory formation before.
Quickly putting the key into his ring, Lin Mu blinked out of the shrine and went away from the area.
’May as well check out the area.’ Lin Mu thought and he went to the location of the first vault.
This vault was located where the core disciples lived and was guarded by a couple of them as well. Lin Mu took a simple glance and could tell these formations would also take time to break.
He then went to the next vault, which was located deeper within the large compound where the elders of the main peak lived. Lin Mu was causally taking a look around the residences when he spotted someone he recognized.
"Alchemist Bilao... so this is where he has been residing." Lin Mu murmured.
He was currently around a luxurious residence that was surrounded by a lot of disciples. They were evidently guarding it and would turn away anyone that got close to it.
"Do not approach the residence, Alchemist Bilao is deep in preparation." One of the guard disciples warned another disciple who had gotten close.
That disciple took heed of the words and quickly went in a different direction.
Lin Mu though had no such problem, and he easily sneaked into the residence.
’Wonder what a person who is close to a heavenly tribulation feels like?’ Lin Mu thought.
