Chapter 355 - BROTHER!

There were not many people that could reach the peak stage of the qi refining realm, but the age of sixteen and this kind of talent was usually only found in sects. There were the disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect sitting here in this room, and even they couldnʼt help but compare themselves with Lin Mu.

Among them, the highest cultivation was that of the senior brother Fa Lao and Quan Hong. They were first and second in the seniority among the disciples of Peak master Ye Jing. Thought Fa Shiu was once the Senior most disciple, but he had been promoted to the position of a junior elder after he reached the core condensation realm.

In the entirety of the Tri cauldron peony sect, there was no one that could compare with Lin Mu currently. The record that they had was reaching the peak stage of the qi refining realm at the age of twenty. This record was held by the current patriarch of the Tri cauldron peony sect and hasnʼt been broken for the past forty years.

Lin Mu reaching the Peak stage of the qi refining realm at the age of sixteen meant that he was easily comparable to the disciples of the top sects. They even wondered if there was a chance that he would reach the core condensation realm before the age of twenty.

If he really did, then he would take over the position of the fastest person to reach the core condensation realm which was held by none other than Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Empire. While the sects also had a lot of disciples that achieved this, they could not be compared to mortal kingdoms. Their baseline was much lower.

Still, it was an inevitable fact that reaching it at such a young age meant that there would be many sects willing to recruit Lin Mu as a disciple. In fact, the first thought they had was to none other than to report to the Peak master about this.

Even if Lin Mu currently had a master, all they had to do was to get them both. The sect would definitely be willing to get a cultivator that could teach a person like Lin Mu and would not be stingy with benefits.

”Lord Mu Lin is impressive! I never would have thought that I would get to meet such a talented person such as you today.” Lord Cai said in a humble tone.

He now knew that he had to develop a good relationship with Lin Mu no matter what. The old man had a hunch that this boy in front of him would one day be a big power, perhaps. If he was able to grasp this opportunity today, his future may be bright and he may even have the chance to reach the core condensation realm.

Lord Cai was around sixty years old by now and had already expended half of his lifespan. He knew that he didnʼt have that great of a talent, and his only chance at progress would be a better cultivation technique or alchemical pills.

But both of the things were not something he could obtain easily. Another thing he wondered about was Lin Muʼs master, who could be so good so as to raise a disciple such as him. Not to mention he now wondered about this Mu clan. He wondered if he should pay attention to them now and also to the Fenlong kingdom.

”You flatter me, Lord Cai. I dare not speak of talent here.” Lin Mu humbly replied.

The disciples also praised him but did not do it as overtly as Lord Cai. They knew that they had to make a good impression but not repulse him. Besides, they still had to get the confirmation from the Peak master first.

”Well then, Lord Cai, do you know about this Gu Legion?” Wu Hei interrupted bringing the conversation back on track.

~Cough~

”Ah yes, I unfortunately do Lord Wu Hei. I had a few run-ins with them and they threatened me to hand half of my Establishment to them.” Lord Cai replied.

”Indeed, this is one of the reasons why we are cooperating with each other now.” Senior brother Fa Lao revalued.

”Actually, all the sects in the kingdom have been alerted about the Gu legion and have been asked to capture or kill them if they are found.” Quan Hong spoke.

”I see, then I guess our cooperation should only be of benefit.” Lin Mu stated.

”Yes, yes. This is in line with both of our goals.” Lord Cai agreed with a toothy smile.

~Knock~Knock~

Someone knocked on the door and the room suddenly went silent.

”Owner Cai, nearly all of the guests have arrived now.” A person spoke from outside the room.

~clap~

”Seems like we will have to discuss the rest of the matters later, let us all go and enjoy the banquet for now.” Lord Cai said before standing up and walking towards Yue. ”Take care of Lord Mu Lin and if any one displeases him you know what to do. He is now far too important for us to treat him the same.” He whispered in her ear.

”Yes Owner,” Yue replied.

Everyone stood up one by one and followed behind Lord Cai while Yue stayed behind to talk something with the servants. They appeared in the garden and saw the tens of people who were all mingling. Lin Mu did a quick scan of the area and saw that the people here in the garden were only half.

The other half were already in the rooms of the Alluring Wisteria pavilion, having their fun with the courtesans. He thought of something and walked close to Wu Hei.

”Wasnʼt your brother supposedly spending his time here at the Alluring Wisteria Pavilion?” Lin Mu questioned.

~Sigh~

”Yes, he was. But mother called him back after she felt someone was targeting her a day ago. He is back at the mayorʼs manor now with mother. They are checking the arrangements for the ceremonies, the last I heard of them.” Wu Hei answered.

But then suddenly a loud shout was heard.

”BROTHER!”
