Walker Of The Worlds

Having made the decision of checking out the Violet Mystic Life Tree, Lin Mu knew some preparations would have to be made.

'But before that… I need to take what I'm owed.' He thought while looking at Alchemist Ruoxian.

"Have the Tri-essence Pills been refined?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Of course." Alchemist Ruoxian nodded his head. "They were ready two weeks ago, but you didn't respond to the messages I sent you." He said before taking out a wooden box.

The box was plain, but Lin Mu could sense several preserving formations hidden inside it.

~clack~

Lin Mu released the clasp and opened the lid of the box, revealing several four bottles inside. Each of the bottles had eight pills inside for a total of sixteen pills. Similar to their name, the pills had three colors that mixed and melded, forming an elegant gradient.

The bottles perfectly sealed the aroma of the pills inside, preventing it from losing any medicinal efficacy.

"The Ten Apertures Blood Vein Flowers and the Pure Wood Essence you provided were probably the best ingredients I've used so far to make these." Alchemist Ruoxian said with a hint of joy. "Eight pills from a single batch, and I made four batches. This is the highest yield I've ever gotten from a batch." He added.

Lin Mu picked up one of the bottles and opened its cap.

As soon as he did that, the scent of the pills filled his nose, rushing into his lungs. It sent a wave of excitement across his body, with each cell of his body getting roused. The vitality within his body stirred and his stomach seemingly growled in desire.

"This is… definitely good." Lin Mu couldn't help but say.

Just taking a whiff of the pills' scent had caused such an effect, making Lin Mu wonder just how good they would be after he consumed them.

He quickly closed the bottle and stored it back in the box before putting it in his ring.

"Looks like you've done a great job." Lin Mu truly felt impressed.

"Of course, I would never sell something I wouldn't be satisfied with." Alchemist Ruoxian stated.

"Though…" Another thought returned to Lin Mu. "How did you find this place? I don't think I told you." He asked.

"This place is owned by one of the subsidiaries of the Grand Sky Pavilion. There are records of you renting it in the pavilion." Alchemist Ruoxian replied.

"Oh… makes sense." Lin Mu reckoned getting this information with Ruoxian's identity wouldn't be that hard.

"Also, there aren't that many cultivators walking around the city with a red cat beast." Alchemist Ruoxian added. "You've attracted a bit of attention from the women."

Lin Mu didn't know what to make of that. But after thinking for a bit, he understood that he hadn't really made an effort to hide or anything. Though there wasn't any reason for him to do so either.

After all, he wasn't a criminal, and neither was he doing anything wrong. So other than attracting a bit of attention, nothing else would have happened either way.

"If you are going to use the Tri-essence pills, you should restrain yourself. These are highly potent and even I don't know how strong they would be. It's best you be careful." Alchemist Ruoxian advised.

"I'll be careful yes." Lin Mu responded, though he knew that it wouldn't be an issue for him at all.

The response that his body had showed him already told him that he could probably consume the entire bottle of pills and would still be fine. His stomach was also an additional factor that could take care of any excess Immortal essence.

It would help him stabilize if there was an overload of energy.

"For the Desolate Blood Battlefield, is there a specific time frame before I should head there?" Lin Mu asked, wondering how the situation would be with many people going there.

"Normally it would be best if you head there, as early as possible. But right now, we don't know what kind of people would the various powers would be sending. I've already assigned people to gather information, but it will take some time.

The Grand Sky Pavilion has already issued an official mission for this too and their own people will be heading there." Alchemist Ruoxian stated.

"Hmmm… has the news spread to the other empires yet?" Lin Mu asked, thinking of a certain person.

"That is hard to tell. But it is safe to assume that it should have been sent already. There are many people from different empires in the Desolate Blood Battlefield after all." Alchemist Ruoxian replied. "At the very least, Huiqing Empire wouldn't need to do much since they already have one of their top experts here." He added.

"The Steel Horned General, Niu Juo." Lin Mu spoke.

"Yes, seems like Daoist Mu Lin is well informed." Alchemist Ruoxian replied, feeling interested.

"We were in the same batch of travelers that came from Huiqing Empire." Lin Mu said.

"Oh, that's interesting?" Ruoxian didn't expect there to be such a coincidence. "Though… Daoist Mu Lin is from the Huiqing empire?" he asked curiously.

"I'm just an itinerant cultivator." Lin Mu replied, casually.

Though in a way his words really were true as he hadn't joined any power officially.

"I see. Still, I'll keep you informed of any more developments. Though I don't think we'll have that long. Right now they don't know the exact location of the Violet Mystic Life Tree, but it wouldn't be long before they confirm it.

If you can get there before that, you'll have a great advantage." Alchemist Ruoxian stated.

"I'll try my best." Lin Mu wasn't afraid of lagging behind as he had Little Shrubby's speed on his side. "I'll try the pills till then but won't enter seclusion." He added.

Alchemist Ruoxian nodded his head in response and spoke, "I'll take my leave then."

The man turned around before leaving. Lin Mu closed the gate and sealed up the courtyard using the arrays.

He didn't want to be disturbed for the time being after all and wanted to use the new pills.
