Chapter 680 - Into The Hong Lin Capital
Seeing Jing Luo’s response, Lin Mu knew that he had definitely figured out a solution to his problems from this.
"I reckon you had some good gains from this?" Lin Mu asked.
"Good Gains? That will be a grave understatement... this knowledge... I... If I’m given enough time, I can bet my life that I can make hundreds of peak grade spirit tools, pseudo immortal tools, or even ... an immortal tool!" Jing Luo spoke.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
Seeing Jing Luo’s enthusiasm, Lin Mu knew that the man was quite pleased.
"Very well then, I guess you should finish up on the entrance token first?" Lin Mu asked.
"I’ll do that later. First, I need to assimilate all this information." Jing Luo spoke.
"Ah, yes. Your grandfather needed to do the same. That was also one of the reasons why he chose to go to the ancestral land." Lin Mu replied.
"That would be the most optimum decision. There is said to be a comprehension and enlightenment room there which can greatly speed up the process of learning new techniques and skills.
Though it does require a large amount of spirit Qi to operate." Jing Luo said.
"Oh really? Interesting..." Lin Mu stated, taking note of this.
The remaining members of the Hei corps have been in hiding for years now and had only gotten warier and warier of the enemies. Even from their own companions and other members, they were barely keeping any contact.
’Hopefully, these members and Wu Hei are still in contact. If they are hiding, it should be under the guidance and instructions of Wu Hei.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.
Lin Mu and Jing Luo had no problems entering the city and quickly found a suitable place to live in a rather isolated courtyard. The costs of these things were irrelevant to them with the amount of fortune they had and thus they directly picked a place that was the best one.
"This should be good enough. Take any room you fancy. I’ll go out and take a look around the city." Lin Mu spoke.
"Alright, just be a bit more careful. We are now in the central area of the continent, which is far closer to several top sects and also the imperial capital. You are far more likely to encounter stronger cultivators here." Jing Luo warned.
"I’ll keep that in mind." Lin Mu said before taking his leave.
He then spent the rest of the day wandering the city and learning more about it and its people. Lin Mu learned of the royal palace of the Hong Lin Kingdom that was located in the center of the city. It was the most eye catching piece of infrastructure and also took up nearly a quarter of the entire city’s area.
He learned how it was divided into the different sections and the people that worked in it. Lin Mu also took the opportunity to find out more about the Hong Lin trees and where he could buy the type that Jing Luo wanted.
Even though it wasn’t really the focus of their mission, it wasn’t something that really caused Lin Mu any problems, so he thought he may as well do it.
"Huh... hundred year old Hong Lin wood is still available to buy at a high price but the thousand years old is nowhere to be seen. Just as Jing Luo said, they can only be found with luck..." Lin Mu muttered to himself while walking.
He had just consulted several traders that sold Hong Lin Wood and got the same answer.
’Looks like we’ll just have to shelve this for later. I’ll get started on the possible locations of the Hei corps members.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.
The location that he was heading to was actually the royal palace, or more accurately, the second circle of the royal palace. This was the place where the law enforcement records were stored.
