Chapter 2035 Meeting Tournament Acquaintances

Hearing the name, Lin Mu didn't recognize it.

"Lady Kang..." He muttered the name, trying to remember if he had heard it before.

Even the Great Kang Auction house was a new name for Lin Mu. But now that the Crown Prince had spoken about it, there was no way he would be left hanging.

"Lady Kang is the one that will be able to help us figure out which of the spatial planes holds the actual inheritance of the Celestial." Crown Prince Feng Shun explained.

"Oh? There is a tool for that?" Lin Mu was surprised.

"Yes, if it is a Celestial's Inheritance ground, there is bound to be residual energy in there that can be detected through special tools." Crown Prince Feng Shun answered. "Of course, it is not a tool that's easy to get. Even for me with the Imperial Court's resources and Qiao De with the Black Candle Pavilion behind we cannot get it." He explained.

"No wonder, you had to add her to the list too." Lin Mu understood now. "But is she strong enough to endure the expedition?" he asked the other thing that had been bothering him.

After all, having a great auction house behind them didn't necessarily mean that the person would be strong too. "Oh, you don't have to worry about that." The Crown Prince chuckled. "While I haven't met Lady Kang before, I do know she's not weak. With the sheer fortune that she has, cultivating isn't exactly hard." He added.

"That does make sense." Lin Mu nodded his head. "And I supposed she'll be bringing more people with her?" he asked next.

"Highly likely." The Crown Prince responded. "Though the slots to enter the Inheritance ground are limited. We don't know the exact number, but it is at least 10 from what Qiao De informed us." He added.

"Hmm... ten people so that would be Me, You, Crown Princess Shang, Monk Hushu, Daoist Chu, Qiao De, Lady Kang... there's three spots left." Lin Mu counted.

"Lady Kang and Qiao De will likely fill it with their own people. I've already gotten four spots." the Crown Prince replied.

"Hmm... I guess it'll be a meeting to look forward to." Lin Mu said.

"Speaking of that, I think there are a few acquaintances of yours with us too." Crown Prince Feng Baxing suddenly said.

"Oh?" Lin Mu raised a brow. "Who?" he wondered.

"Why don't you go downstairs and take a look?" The Crown Prince smiled.

"Alright," Feeling a bit excited, Lin Mu decided to head down.

While the deck of the ship was quite large, its insides were even bigger. No spatial formations were even needed as the ship could easily accommodate over a thousand people inside it without any issues.

And right now it was barely at ten percent of its full capacity.

Lin Mu descended through the central stairwell and arrived in a wide open hall. The first floor below the deck didn't have any room and was just a hall where meetings could be held easily.

"Ah, I guess I'll meet him once he's done." Lin Mu knew that being a monk came with a certain responsibility that would not leave them even if they were no longer at a temple.

~step~step~step~

While Lin Mu was talking to Daoist Chu though, a set of footsteps were heard behind him. ~shua~

A cool breeze blew past Lin Mu, catching his attention. It was colder than normal air and certainly wasn't normal.

He turned around, only to see a pale white hand in front of him. The hand was unique though, with its fingertips being painted black.

"Here." A couple of white berries could be seen on the palm as an offering.

"Mei Nienzhen," There was no way Lin Mu would forget another one of his opponents from the tournament as well as someone who had shared a meal with him.

She was a slightly strange woman, whose actions were hard for Lin Mu to understand.

Mei Nienzhen looked at Lin Mu with a calm expression on her face before gesturing to him with her eyes.

"Take," She spoke.

"Alright, thank you." Lin Mu said, taking the Rimed Pearl Berries from her palm.

"Eat." She spoke again.

Lin Mu knew she wouldn't take no and insist that he ate it, which was exactly what he did.

Soon the cold taste of the Rimed Pearl Berries spread in Lin Mu's mouth, which then trailed down into his stomach.

"There." Lin Mu replied, showing that he had finished it.

"Give," Mei Nienzhen spoke next, gesturing with her fingers. "What do you want?" Lin Mu asked in amusement. "Food." Mei Nienzhen replied, using the same ploy she had last time.

"Haha," Lin Mu couldn't help but laugh seeing her actions. "I'll give it to you, but later. You'll have to wait for a while." "Okay. Promise?" Mei Nienzhen responded.

"Promise." Lin Mu gave a nod.

"Mmm." Mei Nienzhen turned around and went further down the stairs. The floor below held the living quarters for the people on the ship and would allow them to stay in comfort as well as cultivate before they reached their destination. After all, if there was one thing that all cultivators wanted was a place to cultivate in place.

They would have to be in their peak condition for the expedition after all. Which was also why the Crown Prince had specifically gotten this ship.
