Chapter 704 - Clarifications
Hearing that Lin Mu and Jing Luo were looking for thousand year old Hong Lin wood as well, the two disciples were surprised. They even felt that they might have a little bit of a competition when it came to that now.
"Senior wants thousand year old Hong Lin Wood as well? Why?" Hua San questioned.
"Well, not thousand year old Hong Lin Wood itself. Jing Luo needs the sap of thousand year old Hong Lin trees, while I need the actual living tree." Lin Mu explained.
"Ah, I see." Hua San said, feeling a bit relieved.
He thought at least this way they wouldn’t have a complete clash.
"Though getting thousand year old Hong Lin tree sap would be difficult. It can only be extracted when the tree is alive and even then it is quite hard to keep for long periods of time.
I don’t think even the Hong Lin kingdom has any in storage." Hua San spoke.
"Yeah, I guessed that. That’s why we prefer finding an actual living tree." Lin Mu replied.
"Hmm.. But why does senior need a living tree? Are you going to make something from it as well?" Hua San asked.
"I don’t want it for making anything. Rather, I want it for a cultivation technique I practice." Lin Wu informed.
He knew that eventually, he would need a Thousand year old Hong Lin tree as every use of a hundred year old Hong Lin tree, lesser the amount of vital essence that was obtained by him.
While the normal Hong Lin trees won’t even make a difference. The normal Hong Lin trees that were younger than hundred years were only useful for cultivators that were in the Body tempering realm.
"By the way, have you two chosen a location for the tribulation attenuation platform, or perhaps the king has chosen one?" Jing Luo questioned.
"No, he hasn’t specified anything. They only told us that they want one. I reckon they should be fine with any place as long as it has a tribulation attenuation platform. They can’t really be choosy with the location since even a single use Tribulation attenuation platform has very specific requirements." Hua San answered.
"I see..." Jing Luo muttered, not telling them that he could make one essentially anywhere to save him some work.
"How about this mountain itself?" Jing Luo asked after thinking for a bit.
"It would actually be quite good!" Hua San said. "Not only does senior have the other illusory formations set up, the location is also distant enough that the entire session should be a bit private."
"Indeed. I’ll get to working then. You guys can talk with Lin Mu and do other things." Jing Luo replied.
"Oh yeah! Speaking of the king, we would like to meet him as well." Lin Mu spoke.
"Meet the king?" Hua San asked.
"Why would you want that?" Hua Wu felt a bit confused.
The two of them thought that Lin Mu and Jing Luo were intentionally concealing themselves from the king and that’s why they were here so far away.
"For the same reason that I wanted to talk with Sect master Hua... Gu Yao. We’d like to inform them and see if they are willing to join our cause. Plus... I’d like to clarify some things with them as well.." Lin Mu explained.
