Chapter 724 - Convincing The Team

Hearing that Lin Mu wanted to get to the Wandering Sinkhole on his own, the others felt concerned and didn"t know if it was good.

"You can"t do that. It will be too dangerous to go alone. Plus with more people, we would be able to cover more ground." Hua San replied.

"That is exactly why I don"t want you all to go. It will be too dangerous. If it"s just me alone, I can deal with danger and escape if I want to. The greatest confidence I have is in my speed and ability to retreat.

Plus, I won"t be going alone completely, I"ll be having another companion with me." Lin Mu spoke.

Hearing this, they were a bit confused but then realized that Lin Mu might be talking about Jing Luo.

"Why can senior Jing Luo come with you then?" Hua Wu asked.

"Oh, he won"t be coming either. He is needed here more. Not only will he need time to set up the tribulation attenuation formation, but he has his own preparations to do." Lin Mu said, remembering that Jing Luo had yet to fully a.s.similate the knowledge he had been given.

Not to mention the entrance token to the ancestral land of the Jing clan that he still needed to make. Plus, it would be far more safer if Jing Luo was still in this world as there was no guarantee that Gu Yao won"t just attack.

Even if these two disciples were from the Noon gra.s.s sect and were at the Nascent Soul realm, Lin Mu didn"t know if they would be strong enough to fight against the tricks and schemes of Gu Yao.

Heck, from what Lin Mu had heard, they didn"t even go out of sect that much and didn"t have enough experience with the world, despite being significantly older than him.

"Not senior Jing Luo? Then who"s going to come? It won"t make sense if they are weaker than him or us." Hua San asked.

"Oh, the one I"m taking is far faster than anyone here. Even faster than me and has decent strength." Lin Mu stated.

"And who"s that?" now even Adviser Liu was curious.

So far they had met two Adolescent soul realm cultivators and now he heard there was an additional expert?

Adviser Liu wondered how they were just popping up now, or if Lin Mu was hiding even more than that. While he hadn"t seen the full might of Lin Mu, he could tell that the young man was not normal.

Casual actions of him exerted strength that seemed unusual.

"The one I"m taking is my tamed beast." Lin Mu answered.

"You have a tamed beast too?!" Hua Wu asked, feeling excited.

"I do indeed. He"ll also be the one to help us find the wandering sinkhole in less than a month." Lin Mu stated.

"Huh? Can he really do that? I mean, even if one is fast, just how fast would they even have to find it in a month?" Hua San was doubtful and so was adviser Liu.

It was understandable since finding the wandering sinkhole was the same as searching the entire Hong Lin forest for it. And that was a ma.s.sive area to cover. Even with the spirit sense of a Nascent soul realm cultivator expanding the area that could be observed at once, there were still several thousand square kilometers of the area to cover.

Not to mention the Wandering sinkhole did not have a set location and would move around, which meant that it might appear in a location one had already searched in which meant that one would have to search the entire forest multiple times.

"Mmhmm… It shouldn"t really be a problem. He"s actually out looking for Hong Lin trees now that are hundred years or older than that." Lin Mu spoke.

The people in the hall didn"t really know what to think of it now and asked a few more questions while Lin Mu tried to convince them. After several minutes, though, they agreed; albeit reluctantly.

They were anxious that Lin Mu might not return and get trapped or something. But Lin Mu a.s.sured them that trapping him won"t be possible, not to mention that spatial manipulation was something he was good at.

"Senior can do spatial manipulation!?" Hua San and Hua Wu were shocked.

This was not a skill that anyone could have. Even Dao Treading realm cultivators struggled with it, and the only way most cultivators could come in contact with it was through formations.

Otherwise doing it on their own was close to impossible since not only did it require great comprehension ability but also the spirit Qi to back it up. Lin Mu had a great advantage in this since the skills granted by the ring didn"t have as high of a spirit Qi usage as compared to the other crude spatial manipulation skills cultivators had in this world.

"Indeed, I can. So don"t worry. Worse comes to worst, I get trapped in an isolated s.p.a.ce. If that does happen I would just choose the second option that Adviser Chu told us. I"ll just make my own exit by carving out an opening in the void." Lin Mu said.

Hearing Lin Mu speak casually about manipulating the s.p.a.ce and interacting with the void felt surreal to them. If this was some great elder from a top sect like the Sky precedent sect, they would understand, but this was not.

Lin Mu was only at the Adolescent soul stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

After a few minutes of shock, they came to a complete agreement and decided to let Lin Mu go on his own. Lin Mu contacted Jing Luo and told him about what he was going to do, and Jing Luo agreed that it was better for him to go on his own.

If one knew Lin Mu and his skills better than anyone else now, it was Jing Luo. After all, it was due to Lin Mu that he had managed to escape the isolated fragment of the sacred ground of Ripple Mist sect.
