Walker Of The Worlds-Novel

While Shang Yingtai was thinking about her error, Feng Shun spoke again.

"I've fought many beasts and can tell that kitten was not simple. It might appear small, but a might was hidden in its eyes. The power of a predator was apparent." Crown Prince Feng Shun revealed. "Even that beast might be quite strong considering it could hide its cultivation base well."

"He only keeps on getting more mysterious, huh… Looks like we'll have quite a lot to look forward to." Daoist Chu said before taking out a jade slip. "Though I think we should take our leave now too."

"Did they arrive?" Crown Prince Feng Shun guessed something.

"Indeed." Daoist Chu nodded his head.

"Very well. Let's leave." The prince ordered, after which all of them departed.

Lin Mu was unaware of the events that had happened after he had left. He had no idea that he was being suspected this entire time, and had been saved by something entirely unexpected.

He was on his way back to the Hundred Fruits Courtyard and was thinking about what had happened.

"The Crown Princess… She has some rather strong skills doesn't she?" Lin Mu muttered.

"Not just strong skills. She has an innate physique." Xukong replied.

"She does?" Lin Mu raised a brow.

"Yes. It is the Renewing Wood Retaliating Fire Physique." Xukong revealed. "It's a rare dual element physique that is only found in those that have parents with Fire and wood physiques."

"I see… No wonder she could germinate those immortal seeds that quickly. Her wood immortal qi was also quite strong." Lin Mu recalled.

"If she really does find a Fume Wood Panther and tames it, she'll definitely have a great advantage. She'll be able to amplify the power of the beast, while the beast could provide support for her fire. Wood would fuel the fire, bringing forth a great blaze." Xukong stated.

Lin Mu could imagine the effect, and wondered how Shang Yingtai compared to Little Shrubby. After all, Little Shrubby had both the elements within him too. Though they were not as strong and he had other elements mixed in as well.

It also explained why she had taken interest in him and even decided to go so far as to replicate the growth of Little Shrubby.

"Unfortunately she'll be facing failure even if she does get a Brown Forest Shrubby cat." Lin Mu muttered.

"Indeed. Even if she does find a Brown Forest Shrubby cat with the same potential, without Beast qi it would be impossible for it to have the same kind of growth." Xukong replied.

"At least we now know they have no bad intentions." Lin Mu said feeling a bit relieved.

"Rather than the girl, the other two men there were more interesting." Xukong said gaining Lin Mu's curiosity.

"How so? I did feel like they were quite silent." Lin Mu questioned.

"The Daoist was keenly watching your every move, despite keeping to himself while the Monk seemed to be focused on sealing some kind of energy." Xukong answered.

"Huh?" Lin Mu could understand the Daoist watching him, but the monk was a bit strange to him. "Sealing energy? Wasn't he just meditating?"ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ Noᴠel Fɪre.net

"Did you notice the Prayer beads in his hands?" Xukong asked instead.

"I did. They seemed to be normal though. There were no energy fluctuations." Lin Mu replied.

"That's simply because the monk was focused on sealing that very thing." Xukong revealed. "That was no normal set of prayer beads. Those were Buddhist treasured prayer beads."

Hearing this Lin Mu's eyes went wide. He had learned a bit about the Buddhist cultivators from both Senior Xukong as well as the memoirs of the Lost immortal. From this, he knew that the Buddhist Treasured prayer beads were a special kind of tool.

They could be considered on the same level as an immortal weapon or tool, but the way they were made was differently. They also needed Buddhist energies to be used.

They could be made from auspicious materials, as well as by infusing normal materials with Buddhist energies. Though the most common method was to chant the Buddhist scriptures for hundreds of years, and letting normal items bask in it.

This would eventually lead the normal mortal items to transform into Buddhist treasures.

"Why was he sealing it though?" Lin Mu couldn't help but wonder.

"That is unknown. But he started to do that shortly after you entered." Xukong hinted.

"It can't be… me?!" Lin Mu was astounded. "But I didn't even do anything."

"You don't have to. You were recognized by the Buddhist Path itself. For a Buddhist treasure to react to you like that without any interaction means that it is no normal Buddhist treasure.

I think its might be a great Buddhist treasure that is on the same level as that of a High Grade immortal tool that has been nurtured long enough to gain a spirit." Xukong explained.

Lin Mu didn't know if he now needed to worry or not.

"It isn't necessarily a bad thing." Xukong said, guessing Lin Mu's thoughts. "If he is a monk that can have a treasure like that, he is likely to be from a Buddhist temple of significant strength. He should know that he prayer beads were responding to you."

"Then that means… He'll consider me the same?" Lin Mu grasped.

"Quite likely. And since he is from a Buddhist power, we at least know that they won't interfere into your matters." Xukong said with a chuckle.

"That's good. Just the Crown Prince, and Crown Princess were already a bit too much. Thankfully I had the old excuses ready for Little Shrubby and he could hide his abilities well too." Lin Mu said as his nerves eased up.

"Did I do good?" Little Shrubby asked looking up.

"Of course! You did great!" Lin Mu patted the beasts head.

"Yay!" Little Shrubby cheered. "The fruits she gave were good too. I can feel my cultivation base growing." He added.

"You do?" Lin Mu used his immortal sense to check Little Shrubby.

But when he did, he found something astounding.
