Walker Of The Worlds-Novel

Lin Mu looked at the three objects, wondering what Ruoxian was intending to do with them.

"Here's the translated version of the map as well as additional guidance on how to get to the location of the Immortal Essence crystal cache." Alchemist Ruoxian first handed Lin Mu the jade slip.

Lin Mu took a quick look through it and saw the map as well as more detailed information in it.

"This'll be good." Lin Mu said before looking at the object made out of glass.

It looked like a kite shaped glass sculpture in which a thin and long fragment was suspended. It seemed to be floating inside it with no support and was also stationary. From the faint Qi fluctuation coming from it, Lin Mu determined that this was an immortal tool of some kind.

But its function was still unknown to him.

"This blood vein tracker will help you avoid some danger." Alchemist Ruoxian spoke.

"Blood Vein tracker?" Lin Mu raised a brow. "What does it exactly do?" he asked since Ruoxian's words could mean a lot of things.

"You might have heard that a lot of blood was spilled on the Desolate blood Battlefield, hence its name. But this also lead to the formation of Blood essence crystals." Ruoxian replied.

"Yeah, these can be used to refine high grade immortal essence crystals. I've heard that too." Lin Mu replied.

"Indeed. But they also come with danger. Along with the blood of the deceased, the Desolate Blood Battlefield is also filled with their resentment. Over the years, this resentment has transformed into baleful energies that are highly corrosive.

These are often found hidden along with Blood Essence Crystals and can easily contaminate one if they are not careful." Alchemist Ruoxian explained.

Lin Mu had heard about baleful energies before from senior Xukong as well as read about them in the Lost immortal's memoirs.

It was a general term for all manners of negative energies that could harm living beings. There were many forms of them and it was hard to tell which was found where, thus they were just called baleful energies.

Even the impure Yin Qi that Lin Mu had encountered in the southern deserts of the Xiaofan world could also be considered a form of baleful energy.

"The Blood Vein Tracker will help you avoid these. Though you can also use it to track Blood Essence crystals, since this tracks the turbulent energy fluctuations." Alchemist Ruoxian revealed.

"Really?" Lin Mu was surprised. "Then isn't it really valuable?" he could easily see the value of something that could track blood essence crystal.

"It is yes… but the chances that it can find Blood Essence crystal is also less since its fluctuations and the fluctuations of Baleful energies are almost similar. Thus there is a high chance you might end up encountering Baleful energies instead." Alchemist Ruoxian warned.

"I see… I'll keep it in mind." Lin Mu nodded his head.

Next, the alchemist wrote down a few lines on the roll of paper. And once he did that, he took out a seal and stamped it, leaving a mark of his immortal Qi on it.

"This will serve as some extra insurance." Alchemist Ruoxian spoke. "If you encounter some people who look insistent on making things difficult for you, you can show them this." He added.

"Oh?" Lin Mu read the paper, realizing that Ruoxian had stated his identity as a noble as well as a member of the Grand Sky Pavilion on it.

"Most should give you face seeing this." Ruoxian said. "Or at least I hope so… there are always crazy people that don't think much before acting." He added.

"Yeah I know… I've had my fair share of encounters with them…" Lin Mu said recalling some memories. "Though, this says you are a noble too?" he asked feeling curious.

"I am one, but not of any big clan." Alchemist Ruoxian acknowledged. "My clan is nothing compared to real big wigs and is just involved in some minor trading businesses." He said, clearly not wanting to reveal everything.

Lin Mu tacitly understood his intentions and nodded his head.

After all, everyone had their secrets and he wouldn't want others to force him to reveal his either. Thus he wouldn't do the same for them.

Done with all this, Lin Mu put away the items in his storage.

"So what is it that you intend to use as materials for the Tri-essence pills?" Alchemist Ruoxian asked next.

"Ah yes! I almost forgot in all this." Lin Mu said before taking out three things.

The first was a bunch of orange flowers, the second was a vial of shimmering green liquid and the third a pouch.

Alchemist Ruoxian easily recognized the pouch of immortal stones, but the other two items were a bit different to him.

"This…. Ten Apertures Blood Vein Flowers!?" The man identified.

"Yes. These should be fine for the Tri-essence pill right?" Lin Mu asked just in case.ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoᴠelFɪre.net

"Fine? This is overkill for a pill like that." Ruoxian said with excitement. "Just a single petal from one of these flowers would be enough for one refinement."

"And how about this?" Lin Mu gestured to the vial.

"Wood Elemental Essence? No… this is 100% pure wood elemental essence!" Alchemist Ruoxian exclaimed. "Where did you even get this?" the man was astounded.

"I… have my sources." Lin Mu replied. "But I take it, this should be fine too?"

"Just a drop of this pure wood elemental essence can be diluted in a 1:100 ratio and be enough for the pill." Alchemist Ruoxian said with fervor. "This vial alone… it'll be a waste to use it for a Tri-elemental pill."

"A waste? So what's it good for?" Lin Mu asked.

"Several better quality pills can be made with it, but unfortunately I need to be a high grade immortal alchemist for that." The man shook his head. "But yes, we can use this. At the very least, the quality of the Tri-essence pills is going to be very high."
