Chapter 533: Robbing The Main Peak's Vaults
Chapter 533: Robbing The Main Peak's Vaults
The door of the vault opened and Lin Mu saw the thousands of spirit tools and weapons that were kept here. Forcibly suppressing his curiosity, he ran across the vault while touching everything and storing them in the ring.
After that, he left the vault but discovered a problem.
“Dammit, the door won’t close!” Lin Mu cursed.
Lin Mu walked up to the door and tried to physically push the door. While it moved when he did that and even got to the closed position, when he let go of the door, it snapped back and opened wide.
“A formation may have been damaged while you were unraveling, probably the one that is supposed to keep the door locked.” Xukong said.
“What do I do now?” Lin Mu questioned.
“Just leave it for now. You will need to escape the sect after this, anyway.” Xukong spoke.
Lin Mu nodded his head with a little hesitation before blinking away. He headed to the third vault, but saw that there was actually someone standing there.
“Jiao Fang? What are you doing here?” Lin Mu questioned.
“Do you think I’m going to let you take benefit alone?” Jiao Fang said with a grin.
“I want something from here.” Jiao Fang stated.
Lin Mu didn’t really mind this, as his main goal was to just take away the resources of the sect. It didn’t matter in the long term in whose hands they were, as long as it wasn’t Gu Yao.
“Alright, now stand back.” Lin Mu said before getting to work.
The reason why Jiao Fang had actually appeared here was to see how Lin Mu would actually open the vaults formations. He reckoned that he may get to see some tricks which could help him in his own endeavors.
But when he actually saw Lin Mu’s actions, he was stunned.
“What in the world… what kind of a skill is this?” Jiao Fang couldn’t help but wonder.
Unlike the other formation masters Lin Mu was not using analyzing tools, formation plates, flags and talismans to open the vault’s formations. Rather, he was just using his own hands to make runes while using his spirit sense to observe the formation layers.
What Jiao Fang couldn’t tell was that Lin Mu was seeing something that he could not. By separating the layers by creating small portals for his spirit sense, Lin Mu was basically cheating his way into unlocking the vault.
Jiao Fang couldn’t believe his eyes when Lin Mu opened the vault door in less than five minutes. And this time Lin Mu also paid attention to the formation layer which dealt with the locking mechanism of the vault door.
Because of that, he didn’t mess up like last time and the door would be able to be locked again.
~creek~
The vault door opened wide and all the shelves inside it were now visible. Jiao Fang’s eyes lit up after seeing this, and a smile bloomed on his face.
“HAHAHA! Brother Wu Lian is a genius, an absolute genius!” Jiao Fang genuinely praised.
There were no other words he could use to address Lin Mu as the skill that he had shown right now was nothing less than that of a Genius in formations.
“Shush! Don’t make excess noise!” Lin Mu scolded before entering the vault.
“Take what you want quickly!” Lin Mu said in a stern tone, feeling tense.
“Alright, alright.” Jiao Fang said before he quickly picked out about ten manuals from the vault.
Lin Mu used his spirit sense to scan over them and found them to be various Qi skills and a few pill refinement techniques. He then started his routine of running across the books as they all started getting stored in the ring.
Jiao Fang was once again stunned by this and wondered what kind of spatial storage treasure was Lin Mu using. He reckoned that like him, Lin Mu probably had multiple high grade or mid grade spatial storage treasures or something like this would not be possible.
Still, Jiao Fang did not ask any questions and quietly stood to the side. He knew the man was stronger than him and he did not want to offend him at this time.
~DENG~
Lin Mu was done gathering everything in three minutes and quickly closed the vault door.
~phew~
“Two more to go… at the very least.” Lin Mu muttered to himself.
Originally he was supposed to rob four out of six vaults, or one vault from any two peaks and two vaults from any one peak. But he already had three vaults from the main peak. He now wondered if he should continue with the main peak or not.
“Are you going to get more things from other vaults?” Jiao Fang questioned, guessing Lin Mu’s thoughts.
Seeing that Lin Mu did not answer him, he reckoned his guess was correct.
“Then I would recommend you go to the other peaks now. It is not safe to continue on the main peak as the people are concentrated here. It was still fine if you are at the vault area but if you go to the pavilions, there are still a few people around there that will probably notice you.” Jiao Fang suggested.
Lin Mu heard his words and realize them to be valid. He nodded his head and quickly ran away before Jiao Fang could react.
“Wait!” Jiao Fang was about to say more, but realized he couldn’t see Lin Mu anymore.
“Damn, he’s fast!” Jiao Fang cursed, unaware that Lin Mu was right below him.
Lin Mu had intentionally waited here as he wanted to hear what Jiao Fang wanted to do.
~Sigh~
“Better get to the Tribulation platform… that would be the best place to enjoy the after-show once everyone realizes the sect has been robbed.” Jiao Fang said before chuckling.
Lin Mu saw that he genuinely went to the Tribulation platform and stood among the rest of the people. Lin Mu also took this opportunity to see the situation and saw that Alchemist Bilao had still not started the tribulation.
