Chapter 2691 Checking The Spoils Of The River Bending Axe Sect Members
Soon, Lin Mu's figure became clear.
"That took longer than I expected," Lin Mu remarked as he landed on the ridge.
"How far did you go?" Meng Bai asked curiously.
"About two hundred kilometers," Lin Mu replied casually.
"That far!?" Meng Bai exclaimed in disbelief.
"It'll give us an early warning, which should be more than enough to prepare," Lin Mu said with confidence. "Are you done?"
"Yeah, I finished an hour earlier than before," Meng Bai confirmed.
"Good. If you keep this up, you might be able to bring it down to under an hour later," Lin Mu encouraged.
"That would be great," Meng Bai said excitedly, knowing that faster absorption meant greater strength. And greater strength meant more food.
With their preparations complete, the two settled in, knowing that a new day would bring new challenges.
Lin Mu and Meng Bai watched as the sun rose from the horizon, lighting up the entire sky. The golden rays reflected off the tranquil lake below, casting a shimmering glow across the landscape.
"No wonder people say this is one of the most beautiful places in the region," Meng Bai said, mesmerized. "The sunrise is breathtaking, even if the place is more well-known for its nights."
"Indeed," Lin Mu agreed. "The sunsets should be just as spectacular."
From their vantage point, they had an unobstructed view in all directions, making it an excellent spot for sightseeing. The vast expanse of the forest stretched endlessly before them, the gentle rustling of leaves harmonizing with the distant sound of cascading water from the waterfall.
As they enjoyed the magnificent view, Meng Bai suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, I almost forgot..." he said, drawing Lin Mu's attention.
Lin Mu watched as Meng Bai reached into his pocket and retrieved a few objects.
Meng Bai leaned over to take a look.
"The River Bending Immortal Technique?" Meng Bai read aloud. His eyes widened in shock. "Isn't this the signature cultivation technique of their sect!?"
"It should be," Lin Mu replied.
He quickly flipped through the hundred-page booklet, scanning its contents with a keen eye.
'A mid-grade cultivation technique... And it's incomplete,' Lin Mu assessed. 'This version is only suitable for Inner Court disciples.'
From what he could tell, the River Bending Immortal Technique could only be cultivated up to the Fourth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm. If someone wished to progress beyond that, they would have to pass an exam and be promoted to Core Disciple status.
"Is it safe for us to keep this?" Meng Bai asked cautiously. "I don't think Immortal Sects appreciate their cultivation techniques being leaked."
"It's our spoils now," Lin Mu said nonchalantly. "Besides, if they wanted to keep it a secret, they shouldn't have come after us."
Meng Bai hesitated, still uncertain about the implications. He had never thought of things that way before.
Meanwhile, Lin Mu examined the jade slip.
It turned out to be a standard communication jade slip, and with a simple wave of his hand, he wiped the imprint of its previous owner. As he accessed its contents, a wealth of information appeared in his mind.
The jade slip contained notes on the River Bending Axe Sect, as well as a list of names that could be contacted through it. Among them, Lin Mu recognized the names of Elder Nui, Core Disciple Jilin Tu, and Inner Court Disciple Chijin Ou.
'The Left Bank Division...' Lin Mu mused, recalling something he had read about the sect before.
Unlike traditional sects that organized their disciples by peaks, the River Bending Axe Sect was divided into three distinct regions:
The Left Bank Division
The Right Bank Division
The Central Ridge Division
The Left and Right Bank Divisions each had their own disciples and elders, while the Central Ridge Division housed the sect's High Elders, the Patriarch, and other high-ranking members. The Core Disciples also resided there.
Lastly, Lin Mu turned his attention to the token.
