Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2261  Privacy Of The Base

Lin Mu and the Crown Prince had not exacted that the Kang clan would have such a history too.

"Yeah, we know the Celestial." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied before giving her a rundown of what had happened before they had arrived at the expedition.

The more Lady Kang heard, the more she was surprised and the same could be said for Elder Hu and Min Ju.

But the most surprising part was the link to Lin Mu.

"To think Daoist Mu Lin would be acquainted with the Ever Spring Mistress…" Lady Kang started to feel that his background was getting deeper and deeper. "And she was even on the Rust Sky World… to think I would've been so close to her." Meeting a celestial was a very very rare thing and even those at the higher ranks of the Immortal world couldn't meet them. Only those that were luck would have such a chance.

And while the Kang Clan was highly influential, even for them contact with the Celestials was extremely rare and was never direct.

'Looks like the Kang Clan will have to develop closer ties with the Dao Wind Empire too.' Lady Kang thought to herself. But she also knew that even more important than the Dao Wind Empire was Lin Mu himself.

After all without his help, there the Ever Spring Mistress would have never even known of Meihua and thus never arrived at Rust Sky World.

"Well now, that we know that there can indeed be Dao Treasures inside the Null Iron Ore, the only question left is just what kind was this one." Ziran brought them back to the original topic.

Lin Mu had been thinking about this too and reckoned there was one way he would be able to find out more about it.

'Senior Xukong might know…' he thought before informing the concerned party.

"I can't tell what it is either. I'll need to take a proper look at it." Xukong replied to Lin Mu after a few seconds. Hearing that Lin Mu knew he'll have to get some privacy to figure that out. "I might be able to find more about it." Lin Mu spoke up. "But I'll have to check the documents and books I have. There might be a mention of something similar to that." He explained.

"I'll look into some of the records I have too. Perhaps I'll have some success too." Ziran replied.

The others heard it and knew that there was nothing else to do than to wait.

"Looks like we'll be resting then." Daoist Chu stated. "Not like we can go hunt more Chimeric beasts now anyways." He added.

"We've earned a rest. Time to recuperate our minds and body." Monk Hushu agreed.

They had been on the run and had to use all their might to get away due to the nature of the situation, thus it was understandable why they were exhausted. They had used up quite a lot of their immortal Qi with the skills too.

"Yeah, seems like we'll just have to wait." Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded. "Hopefully this clears up." He added.

"It should if this is a Celestial's artifact. I don't think it'll be filled with Death Qi permanently." Ziran responded. "This'll give me time to observe the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotuses too." Crown Princess Shang was excited for it. "Once I'm done, I'll give everyone their shares." She added.

"I'll be waiting eagerly." Qiao De said with a smile.

There was no way he was going to say no to a free treasure. Even if he didn't get the flower of the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus itself, he was still fine getting a cutting or some roots. They would be valuable regardless.

With that decided the group went inside the base, heading to their respective rooms.

~SHUA~

Lin Mu shut the door with the arrays, giving him the perfect privacy for anything he needed to discuss.

"Will you be able to figure out what it is, Senior Xukong?" Lin Mu asked the spider.

"It does feel a bit familiar to me, but I can't place my exact finger on it." Xukong responded before taking a pause. "Hmm… tell you what, come to Sleepscape I'll take another look there. You're body should have some traces left over." He added.

"Very well." Lin Mu replied before laying down on the bed and closing his eyes.

~SHUA~

Not even ten seconds later, he opened his eyes in the Sleepscape to the sound of the Immortal apple tree swaying gently in the wind.

~rustle~

Its branches rubbed against each other, as if it were welcoming Lin Mu.

~rustle~rustle~rustle~

The tree even lowered its branches towards Lin Mu, showing him the bright red fruits that were right for the picking.

"Ah! I guess the Immortal Apples are ripe again." Lin Mu said before quickly plucking them and storing them.

With that done, the Immortal Apple tree went back to absorbing more energy and continued to sway.

~SHUA~

Though a grey orb appeared behind Lin Mu, making him turn around. The orb faded away to reveal none other than Xukong.

"Hmm… I can't sense any traces of it on you." Xukong said, narrowing his eyes. "This won't help." He added, making Lin Mu a bit disappointed. "No traces on me? But I got directly exposed to it." Lin Mu hadn't expected that. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"The Searing energy from the Longgui Bulwark Armor probably purged it all." Xukong guessed.

"Ah yeah…" Lin Mu understood.

It was both good and bad for him, as it had saved him, but also it was hard to figure out just what that dark energy was. Though a few seconds later, Lin Mu thought of something.

"Wait, won't the twins have the traces on them too?" Lin Mu wondered. "No… if they did you'd know already by now." He realized since the twins were in the Sleepscape too.

With Xukong's senses, there was no way he would miss something like that.

"Acutally… it might still be possible." Xukong said, arousing Lin Mu's interest. "The twins did consume that energy right?" he asked.

"They did yes." Lin Mu nodded.

"Then they should still have it in their bodies." Xukong replied. "They ate it very recently too." He added.

"Of course!" Lin Mu's eyes lit up.

He knew that the twins could eat a lot and process it in their bodies. Whatever energy was consumed by them would get turned into Yin and Yang Qi which would then be absorbed or expelled depending on their initiation.

But this was not an instantaneous process.

While the twins could eat a massive amount, not all of it was digested right away. It would take some time for the process to be done, which could vary depending on the amount and quality of the energy.

"Xiao Yin, Xiao Yang, come here." Lin Mu called out to the twins.

~SHUA~SHUA~

The twins quickly rushed to him like bolts of lightning.

"You two remember the dark energy from earlier right?" Lin Mu inquired.

"Yes~ the bitter one." Xiao Yang nodded.

"The nasty energy." Xiao Yin showed her distaste.

"Yup that one." Lin Mu nodded. "By any chance have you two finished digesting it already?" he asked.

"No." The twins shook their heads. "We still have it."

"Perfect! Can you two expel it?" Lin Mu asked.

"We can yes!~" The twins nodded their heads again.

"Very well. Do it for Senior Xukong." Lin Mu said gesturing towards the spider.

"Okay~" The twins said before opening their mouths.

A low hissing sound came from their throats before smoke started to rise from their mouths. The smoke was rather dark and looked just like the Dark Energy Lin Mu had felt.

"Yes, this is it." Lin Mu was happy that the two hadn't gotten to digesting that Dark Energy.

While it was not tasteful to them, it didn't mean that it would be useless. The dark energy would be digested later, anyways. It would only take more time and the twins would not like it much.

It was the same as eating an item one was allergic to.

Lin Mu and Xukong watched as the dark smoke from the twin snakes gathered above them. ~SHUA~SHUA~

The dark smoke then started to condense a bit more, before turning into a small cloud!

If it were not for the fact that they were in Lin Mu's Sleepscape, the dark energy would have already tried to dodge in some way.

~SHA~

Xukong approached the grey energy before probing it with one of his legs. Lin Mu was a bit alarmed by it, but knew that Xukong would have no issue. The spider closed his eyes as if he were in deep thorough, while the dark energy cloud started to shrink.

Lin Mu didn't pay much heed to it, until five minutes had passed and Xukong had not uttered a single word.

"This!" but then Xukong suddenly woke up with a shocked tone. "How can this energy appear again!?"
