Chapter 1400 The Saintesss Conditions

1400 The Saintess's Conditions

Lin Mu’s courage was taken positively by the Saintess.

While she had seen many brave cultivators, the ones who faced great threats despite knowing them were very few. It only made her want to see just how far Lin Mu could go.

‘But that alone is not enough...’ The Saintess thought while looking at Lin Mu. “I shall be accompanying you from now.” She stated.

“Accompany me?” Lin Mu was a bit taken aback.

To him it didn’t seem normal for a woman of her status to be going around with him.

“Why?” he asked.

“Since you have already tamed the Yin Yang Twin Serpents, I cannot take them away from you but I still have a duty to fulfill. Ideally I would like to take you to the Serpent Moon Sect right away, but the Celestial Court will be a bother.

It might bring more attention to the Ancestral Serpents instead.” The Saintess replied.

Her words did seem reasonable to Lin Mu.

“Even if you did intend to bring me away, I cannot go. I have some things I have to do first.” Lin Mu stated as well.

“What is it that you want to do? Visit the Temple of the Four Guardians?” The Saintess questioned.

“That’s one part but my main goal is something else... there is something that has been taken from me. And I... need to get it back.” Lin Mu said a hint of desire appearing in his eyes.

This didn’t escape the Saintess’s senses and she knew that this was the same desire she had seen before.

‘It’s suppressed but its still there... it truly is his main goal.’ The Saintess concluded.

“Will you still follow me despite that?” Lin Mu inquired knowing that this was not fully her obligation.

“I will yes. That is not something that can be questioned. No harm can ever come to the Yin Yang Twin Serpents until they mature.” The Saintess stated firmly.

“Alright.” Lin Mu nodded his head.

This was an advantage for him too as having a peak Celestial expert was more than enough anyone could ask for.

“Though I have several conditions of my own too.” The Saintess stated. “With my station, there are several restrictions on my. Technically I’m not supposed to be on this world either. If it is found out, I will have to leave most likely.

I also won’t interfere in your conflicts unless it is beyond a certain point.” The Saintess stated.

“I’m fine with that. I also wish to be independent and battle on my own. If I don’t I won’t improve.” Lin Mu replied.

This was something Lin Mu truly wished for. He didn’t even take direct help from Xukong either and would only take some information when he was lost. Additionally if he had someone looking after himself all the time, it would not be good for his own growth too.

Having stated their conditions, Lin Mu felt like the situation was now good. They had a basic understanding of each other and knew where their baseline was as well.

“So where will you be heading now?” The Saintess asked.

“My first goal is to go to the Holy Topaz Continent.” Lin Mu replied. “So I’ll need to get to a teleportation array that crosses continents.” He added.

“Alright, then. When are you going to leave?” The Saintess asked.

“I want to buy a few things here and then we can leave tomorrow. I also want to gather some information.” Lin Mu answered.

“Very well, you can go ahead. I’ll be here.” The Saintess let Lin Mu go on his own.

She didn’t need much effort to monitor the Yin Yang Twin Serpents either and thus could let Lin Mu go around. He didn’t wait for long and simply went to the city.

With the amount of taverns and inns around, it didn’t take him long to find the information pavilion. There were many of them here due to this being a port and all of them sold information at various prices.

“Welcome sir! What kind of information are you looking for? Unique beasts? Fortunate encounters? Secret Inheritances? We got everything.” The clerk standing at the entrance greeted Lin Mu very enthusiastically.

“I want a set of information about all the continents, their powers, and I want maps too.” Lin Mu quickly stated.

“Ah! So sir wants our comprehensive intelligence set.” The clerk smiled widely knowing that he had netted a big customer. “Our Comprehensive intelligence sect costs ten mid grade immortal stones and I assure you it will satisfy—”

“I’ll take it.” Lin Mu didn’t mind the price and simply handed over the stones before the clerk could even finish his pitch.

“Uh... Of course sir!” The clerk quickly adjusted and went to get what Lin Mu had asked for.

In just a minute, Lin Mu was handed a jade slip filled with all the information that he would need.

“Now let’s take a look.” Lin Mu scanned through the information, finding there to be quite literally a library’s worth of information in it.

‘Hmm, the closest Transcontinental Teleportation array is in the Capital city of this province. It is located a week away too.’ Lin Mu now knew his destination.

But this wasn’t all that Lin Mu looked for as he also wanted a certain type of resources. With that in mind, Lin Mu went to a shop that specialized in selling cultivation resources such as immortal herbs, immortal pills, immortal fruits and more.

pa(nd)a novel It was a large building located in the business district of the port city and there were hundreds of people going in and out of it. And when Lin Mu stepped into the building, he saw even more people.

“Now then where are all the spirit herbs being sold?” Lin Mu looked at the many counters that were set up in a square manner.

There he soon spotted a counter at which a distracted looking man was sitting. His eyes looked lazy and a hint of boredom could also be felt from him.
