Walker Of The Worlds

1609 Return To The Middle Fort City

The difference in atmosphere between the Rust Sky World and the Desolate Blood Battlefield was surreal to Lin Mu.

Now that he had returned, he realized just how refreshing it felt to be back. Even if the Rust Sky world was a bit gloomy due to its unique sky, the absence of the bloody aura was still quite good.

~HUU~

Lin Mu took a deep breath and felt the difference in the Immortal Qi.

"This does feel rather good." Lin Mu now had an urge to take a walk around.

He had not realized that staying the Desolate Blood Battlefield would have an aftereffect like this.

'I'll get to do some tasks on the way…' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He had several tasks to do on his list, anyway.

Lin Mu first walked to the checkpoint of the Desolate Blood Battlefields and recorded his exit there too. He faced no issues there either and the people let him go rather quickly. Once that was done, Lin Mu flew towards the Middle Fort City and brought out Little Shrubby as well.

They quickly sped towards the city and arrived there after a few hours. Sending Little Shrubby back and gaining entry into the Middle Fort City, Lin Mu made a checklist in his mind.

The first task was none other than to head to the Grand Sky Pavilion. He not only wanted to check up on his request for the Tyrant Bull marrow, but also to meet with Alchemist Ruoxian.

'I wonder if Shu Shaoxing is here or not.' Lin Mu recalled the man who was rather enthusiastic about Grass Herbs.

Lin Mu also had another reason to meet him, which was to learn more about Sentient plants that could be later planted into the Sleepscape. It was one of his long term goals, and he now intended to look for such plants wherever he went.

It didn't matter if they could generate Qi or not, as long as they were sentient he would take them as Lin Mu knew the Sleepscape would eventually have some beneficial effect on them and lead them to improve.

With that in mind, Lin Mu continued towards the Grand Sky Pavilion.

Lin Mu also tried to contact Alchemist Ruoxian on the way, but found there to be no response.

'Perhaps he's busy working. I'll just have to meet him directly at the pavilion then.' Lin Mu thought.

Little Shrubby also wished to come out, thus Lin Mu let him do so in his kitten form. The master and beast walked through the streets of the Middle Fort City, gaining a few looks from the people.

Some were interested in Lin Mu's appearance, while some were interested in the kitten that seemed to be sitting on his shoulders.

Lin Mu and Little Shrubby were used to it though and it didn't seem like anyone was going to stop them to talk either. Soon, the two reached the Grand Sky Pavilion and Lin Mu walked up to the nearest clerk.

"I'm here to meet with Alchemist Ruoxian." Lin Mu informed.

"Alchemist Ruoxian? Do you have an appointment with him?" The clerk questioned.

"I've been told I can meet him any time." Lin Mu said before showing him the documentation that the alchemist had given him early on.

The Clerk read through it and found it to be authentic. His expression became a bit flustered as he realized that Lin Mu was actually an important customer of the Grand Sky Pavilion.

"Ah! I'm sorry for the delay, sir customer. Please come this way, I'll inform Alchemist Ruoxian." The clerk hurriedly said.

He quickly brought Lin Mu to a waiting room and went away for a minute. And when the clerk returned, he had an embarrassed expression on his face.

"I'm sorry sir, but Alchemist Ruoxian is not present at the Grand Sky Pavilion." The Clerk reported.

"He's not?" Lin Mu furrowed his brows.

"No, he's currently out on a visit somewhere but I can send him a missive to call him." The clerk replied.

Hearing this Lin Mu was surprised. He had thought that the man was busy at work in the Grand Sky Pavilion and had thus not responded to his call. But now it was evident that he was occupied with something else.

"Hmmm… very well. Send it." Lin Mu decided to permit it.

"I'll do it right away, sir." The Clerk hurriedly said. "In the mean time you can rest here or take a look around our establishment. If you wish to have some refreshments, I can also send a few servant with them." He offered.

"I'll take a look around then." Lin Mu didn't mind waiting a bit as he could do some other tasks in this time.

"Very well, sir." The clerk cupped his hand. "We'll inform you when Alchemist Ruoxian is here."

"Mmhmm." With that, Lin Mu left the waiting area and went to the Vitality Hall.

He had given his request for the Tyrant Bull Marrow here and needed to inquire about any updates.

"Ah! It's sir Mu Lin!" The clerk at the desk quickly recognized Lin Mu.

After all, the things he had bought last time had given the clerk quite a lot of commission. This had made the clerk remember him deeply. In fact, the clerk had wished that Lin Mu would come around again and buy more stuff, so that his pockets would deepen.

"So you remember me." Lin Mu raised a brow.

"Of course! How can I forget, sir?" The clerk said with a smile. "Please take a seat." He offered.

Lin Mu sat down in front, while Little Shrubby jumped down onto his lap.

"So, what do I owe the pleasure of meeting Sir Mu Lin today?" the clerk asked.

"About my earlier request. The Tyrant Bull Marrow." Lin Mu replied. "I want to know if there are any updates on it."

"Ah yes! I remember." The clerk nodded his head. "I'll check the most recent reports. Please give me a moment." The man said before tapping the desk in front of him.

~SHUA~

The formation on the desk lit up and a formation screen appeared.

It was only readable on one side though, so only the clerk could see what was being displayed on it. The clerk inputted some information and started to look through the information that had been added to their documents.

Lin Mu waited for a minute and watched the clerk work. During it all, he found the clerk's expression change several times. From a smile, it soon turned into a stiff expression.

"Hmm… it seems like there is an issue, sir." The clerk said after a bit.

"What is it?" Lin Mu asked.

"While there is indeed an update about the Tyrant Bull Marrow, it is not from your request." The Clerk replied.

"Not from mine?" Lin Mu furrowed his brows, but then thought of something. "Do you mean there is actually some Tyrant Bull Marrow available?" he asked again.

"Indeed… there is records of Tyrant Bull Marrow arriving in the Rust Sky World." The Clerk answered. "But it did not come from sir's request but was brought by an independent party." He added.

"An independent party? Are they a merchant?" Lin Mu questioned next. "If so, can the Grand Sky Pavilion facilitate me to buy it from them?" if there was Tyrant Bull Marrow already present in the Rust Sky world, Lin Mu didn't see any reason to wait.

After all, there was no telling how long it would take for the Grand Sky pavilion to obtain it on their own.

"That's the issue, sir. The person with the Tyrant Bull marrow isn't a merchant. They seem to be an independent cultivator." The Clerk stated.

"You should still be able to contact them though, right?" Lin Mu didn't see how something like this would be difficult for the Grand Sky Pavilion.

"We can certainly contact them, but the issue is that the Tyrant Bull marrow isn't for sale." The Clerk revealed.

"Huh? Then why is it in your records?" Lin Mu was perplexed.

"According to our records, the information about the Tyrant Bull Marrow is here not because of a direct sale. But rather, it came through our external channels as a request." The clerk explained.

"What kind of request?" Lin Mu wondered.

"The owner of the Tyrant Bull Marrow has put it up as a reward for some information." The Clerk answered. "The owner is seeking information about a certain object they have and doesn't seem to have any clues about what it is. Thus they are offering it as a reward to anyone who can provide accurate information." He added.

"What is the object?" Lin Mu asked for more details.

"I'm afraid, we don't know that, sir. This came from a third party, thus you will have to go there personally to check." The clerk replied.

~Sigh~

"Very well… where are they?" Lin Mu questioned.

"The owner of it is in the Dao Wind Empire." The Clerk stated.
