Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 888: Speedy Return And A Pleasant Reception

Chapter 888: Speedy Return And A Pleasant Reception

Lin Mu and Hua Yi were now on Little Shrubby's back, heading to the Noon Gra.s.s sect.

"What was that spirit herb though, senior? Do you know of it?" Hua Yi questioned.

"I thought you would know more," Lin Mu replied instead.

"Hmm… I don't know. I've never seen or read about it before." Hua Yi answered.

"We'll take a closer look once we're back at the sect then. It shouldn't take long." Lin Mu said to which Hua Yi nodded.

But while Lin Mu said this, he still started to check the records on his own. There were plenty in the ring that he had still not read and it was literally a hill of them placed there. 

'I should get some shelves perhaps…' Lin Mu thought to himself.

Still, he could use the jade slips with little to no problem and thus just held them while Little Shrubby carried them back. Lin Mu's spirit sense would read through them and he would gain more information.

They traveled for about half a day before they finally reached the sect. The disciples from the sect were quick to detect them, simply due to the fact that there was just one beast they knew that could move that fast.

"They're back!" someone called out.

Jing Luo who was working on some things, heard the commotion as well and looked out of the hall he was in.

"Oh? That was rather fast." Jing Luo said and left the hall to meet up.

~thud~ thud~

Lin Mu and Hua Yi got off Little Shrubby, and the latter stretched his body. Sitting on a fast moving beast for that long would cause some tenseness in his body even if he was at the Nascent soul realm.

"That will certainly take some time getting used too." Hua Yi said. "But still, thank you for this experience, senior Lin Mu. I got to learn quite a few things." He added.

"And thank you for guiding me. It would have taken me quite a long time if I were to go there on my own." Lin Mu replied.

~step~step~step~

"Welcome back seniors!" The disciples finally gathered around them.

"Greetings." Lin Mu causally said.

"I honestly thought that it would take you way longer than this." Jing Luo appeared from the crowd.

"I did too. But for the first time in a long while, a plan went as I wanted it to." Lin Mu replied.

"That's good. At least luck in on our side again." Jing Luo said in a relieved tone.

"And… the harness was helpful, too. I doubt I would be able to reach the location without Hua Yi guiding me and he would not be able to keep up without the new harness. Thus you were a big help in this as well." Lin Mu didn't forget to praise where it was deserved.

"That was nothing. Give the harness back to me. I'll add the remaining things to it as well. It will be even better then." Jing Luo said with a chuckled.

~Grrr~

Little Shrubby turned around to let Lin Mu remove the Harness before it was handed to Jing Luo.

"You should go meet up with the supreme elder. The patriarch and other elders might be arriving by tomorrow." Jing Luo added.

"Very well." Lin Mu replied.

"I'll take my leave too, senior. Please don't hesitate to ask for me if you need any help." Hua Yi said.

"Will you be going to the Kong Plane?" Lin Mu questioned.

"No, I'll wait to meet master first. Plus, I think the others will be coming here as well for them." Hua Yi answered.

"Hmm, makes sense. Once the patriarch arrives, it will be time to start the next step of our plan." Lin Mu said as a complex expression appeared on his face.

"I shan't take any more of your time then, senior." Hua Yi said before taking his leave and flying away.

Lin Mu also made his way to the Supreme elder's hall and reached there in a couple of minutes. Little Shrubby on the other hand, was surrounded by a few disciples who were asking him questions.

Ever since they found out Little Shrubby could understand them, they were interested in finding out more. A couple of elders had taken notice of this too and encouraged for the disciples to learn from Little Shrubby.

They hoped that they would gain some insights into beasts which could help them in taming a beast for themselves as well.

Having a tamed beast was a good way to increase their potential power and was the same as increasing their numbers. Plus, depending on the type of beast they tamed, they might get some extra things like beast materials in the form of hair, feathers, fur and horns too.

While there were a few disciples that had tamed beasts in the sect, they were a very small number, being able to be counted on two hands. Plus the beasts they tamed were not strong either and were just used for convenience or materials.

The most common was a bird beast that helped them in surveying an area where their spirit sense didn't reach. It could also be used to send messages or small items. 

Thus, Little Shrubby was a bit popular in the disciples, even if he couldn't outright speak. The disciples found other means to talk with him. For simple yes or no answers, he could just nod and for others, they would just write and show him.

Which was even more shocking, as they just didn't know how Little Shrubby learned to read. They even thought that it was Lin Mu who had taught the beast this, which he never did.

In fact, Lin Mu didn't even know that part.

Back at the Supreme elder's hall, the old man had also found out that Lin Mu returned.

"I hope you were successful in your venture?" Hua Langya questioned from the inside.

"I did indeed," Lin Mu said upon opening the door.
