CHAPTER 314 - CHECKING THE SPOILS

Lin Mu chased after the Junior elder but the man used some kind of a skill and increased his speed by fourfold, escaping.

"DAMMIT!" Lin Mu cursed.

Lin Mu had not expected that the man would escape mid way through the Battle.

"You can find him later, you know where he would turn up," Xukong spoke.

Lin Mu then remembered what the four men were here for.

"Yes, if they were here to find a gift for that sister Ye Zi Jin, then they are bound to be at Wu Lim City later. I just need to bide my time and find them there. If I inform Hei Wen, she should be able to help me, at least that guy doesn’t know who I am." Lin Mu spoke.

But Lin Mu knew that he would have to find the man before he fiend’s him and eliminate him, or there could be big problems.

Lin Mu returned to the site of the battle and checked the three corpses. He gathered their weapons and found the three swords to be low grade spirit weapons. Lin Mu held them and channeled spirit qi into them only to find there to be Resistance.

"Huh, so this is how low grade weapons are like..." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

He stored them in the ring and then searched the bodies. He took the bangle from the senior brother’s arm and looked at it.

"He called this the spirit qi sensing bangle, right?" Lin Mu spoke before trying it out.

The gem on the top of the bangle glowed for a bit before it cracked and the bangle broke.

"What the! Why did it break?" Lin Mu questioned.

"It was a low grade spirit tool that to one that could only be used by a single person." Xukong answered.

"A single person? What do you mean Senior?" Lin Mu asked.

"There are certain spirit tools that are made in such a way that if anyone other than its first owner tries to use it, they are destroyed. This one was like one of those tools. A lot of sects do something like this to the things that they issue to their disciples." Xukong replied.

"Though, this is likely only because this was a low grade tool. If it were a mid grade or even a high grade tool, the sects would not be able to bear the losses, so they should not have the same characteristic." Xukong added while made Lin Mu relived.

Lin Mu did not want to come out without any benefits if he ever got into a battle with the disciples of cultivation sects in the future. If all of the spirit tools were like this, then it would be a shame.

He also found two small bags hanging on the waists of the Senior brother and the Eldest brother. When he touched them, he could actually feel faint spatial fluctuations.

"Are these..." Lin Mu muttered.

"Yes, they are spatial storage treasures. Albeit of the lowest grade. These are spatial storage bags and are the most basic kind of a spatial storage treasure. They are relatively easier to make but also have a very small capacity. Their durability is also rather bad and they can be damaged easily by stray attacks." Xukong explained.

Since the two men were dead, their spirit sense signature was wiped from the two bags. Lin Mu easily put his own signature on them and checked what was in them. Content © copyrighted by .

Upon checking, he saw that the volume of the bags was very small, being one cubic foot.

"This is tiny, what do they even keep in this?" Lin Mu muttered he scanned them for items.

From the two storage bags, he obtained about thirty low grade spirit stones, a few healing pills and basic qi pills. And finally, he also obtained a small booklet that had a qi skill written in it.

Lin Mu read through the booklet and realized that this was the qi skill that the junior elder Fa Shiu had used.

"This is good, at least I got some spirit stones and pills along with this qi skill." Lin Mu said.

Lin Mu read the booklet and saw that the name of the skill was minor fireball technique.

"That’s rather simple." Lin Mu muttered as he continued reading the instructions.

Five minutes later he had learned them and he tried to follow the method that was described in it.

A few seconds later, a small fire ball was floating in Lin Mu’s hand.

"I thought this would be harder? Learning the Boulder collapsing fist was a hundred times more difficult than this." Lin Mu said as he felt a bit surprised.

If the Junior elder were to see what Lin Mu had just done, his jaw would be wide open. Lin Mu had just learned a totally new qi skill in five minutes.

Lin Mu looked at the fireball in his hand and played with it for a bit, before understanding how it worked. He then threw the fireball onto the headless corpse of the Junior brother and watched it get reduced to ashes.

Seeing that this was rather effective, he threw fireballs on the other two corpses as well and turned them to ashes as well.

"This will make it convenient to cook, nice." Lin Mu spoke, feeling a bit happy.

He amplified his hand with spirit qi and waved it hard towards the ashes, blowing them away. He then stored the trunk faced cow’s corpse in the ring as well and started his journey back to the northern town. Now that he had the beast core of a beast with an awakened bloodline, Lin Mu wanted nothing more than to practice the method to refine and prepare it for assimilation.

But before that, he needed to info Hie Wen of what happened and to keep an eye out for that Junior elder named Fa Shiu. While running away, the man had gone in the eastern direction but Lin Mu knew that he could have gone anywhere from there.

’It will be faster for the Hei Corps to find that guy rather than me roaming around.’ Lin Mu thought.
