Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2472  A Five Day Long Lesson And Banquet Invite

Lin Mu was hit by hundreds upon hundreds of clouds waves and was finally managing to withstand them.

He understood that the key to overcoming them was to find the lowest concentration of the Cloud Dao Traces and pass through that part without missing when it changed.

This way he managed to come out on the other side safely. Of course when he managed to do this, the Saintess upped the difficult and now he had to face not one but two waves in a row!

This doubled the difficulty as even sensing the concentration and flow of Cloud Dao Traces in one wave needed considerably effort and by the time Lin Mu got to working on the second, the wave was usually too close for him to sense the flow.

It took him two days before he managed to pass through the second wave without getting wiped out. Of course without a hitch, the Saintess upped the difficulty to three waves now!

Third time around though, Lin Mu was getting a betters grasp on it and didn't lose as badly as he did before. He actually managed to get around a third of the way through the wave on his very first try before missing the flow and getting washed away.

And by the fifth try he had actually over come the third wave.

It was a faster improvement than before and showed that the Saintess's training was working quite well.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye as Lin Mu continued his training under the watchful eyes of the Saintess.

On the sixth day of the lesson he was already managing to overcome about seven waves before he had hit his limit. Though this was already significantly better for him since the effects of his improvement could be seen in the Cloud Dragon Stride.

Not only was his movement a lot smoother, but the generation of a cloud was also more in attunement with the Cloud Dao.

"That will be enough." The Saintess stated, bringing her second lesson to an end.

~huu~

"Thank you, Saintess." Lin Mu said with gratitude as he came out from the lake.

This time around, the Saintess hadn't just dispersed the clouds in a moment and let Lin Mu sink in the water.

So Lin Mu reckoned that was good too.

"You've already improved enough that you should see gains in the Cloud Dragon Stride. Use it more and you'll probably apply more of your insights." The Saintess suggested.

"I shall do that then." Lin Mu nodded.

"But for now I think you have some work to return to." The Saintess said mysteriously.

"Oh?" Lin Mu wondered what she meant but then he soon felt the Communication Jade Slip humming.

He held it and read the message.

"Looks like I have a banquet to go to." The message was from none other than the Treasury Minister. The man was fulfilling his promise and had finally set up the gourmet banquet he had told Lin Mu about.

The Treasury Minister had actually finished the preparations several days ago, but he also knew the situation of the city. It would not be appropriate for him to held a banquet when things were tense. Plus there was also the fact that the Crown Prince had told everyone in the court about Lin Mu's personal intervention and restriction of the Crater site.

His immediate action had saved more lives than he knew, and everyone was impressed by it.

The Emperor intended to invite him to court to personally thank him and gift him something, but the Crown Prince advised against it.

Having stayed with Lin Mu for eight years, he knew how his personality was and that it would do little for him. As such he just recommended that they leave him be and let him do whatever he wished in his own time.

The Emperor heeded and since the Treasury Minster was also present at that time, he decided to follow the same.

As such he waited several days before he finally thought it was appropriate to send the message. Even then he didn't insist that the banquet be tonight itself, but rather suggested that everything was ready and if Lin Mu wished for it, it could be held right away too.

"I guess we can go tonight." Lin Mu muttered to himself and contacted Little Shrubby and the twins. "They should join in too." Of course upon hearing that there was going to be new kinds of food, the trio of beast immediately began heading back.

"Will you come too Saintess?" Lin Mu asked just in case.

"No, I'll go cultivate." The Saintess replied. "Our next lesson will take some time anyways." She added.

"Alright, thank you Saintess." Lin Mu said once more and watched as her form simply faded away.

~SHUA~

The lake also returned to normal with all the clouds dissipating.

~WHOOSH~ WHOOSH~

And shortly, the trio of beasts arrived. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"When's the banquet!" Little Shrubby asked right away.

"Will there be Crocodile!?" Xiao Yin asked.

"Will there be Dragon!?" Xiao Yang questioned.

"Uhh… The Banquet is in the night." Lin Mu spoke first. "I don't know if there will be Crocodile… maybe? As for Dragon, definitely not." He answered.

He didn't even know where the twins got the idea of eating a Dragon. 'Is it even possible to eat a dragon here?' Lin Mu wondered.

As far as he could recall, there were no Dragons on the Rust Sky World in the current age. The only Dragon that could be considered was the Azure Dragon's spirit which was sacred and definitely off limits.

The other closest being to Dragons would be the Drakes and the only Drake Lin Mu knew off was in his own forest and was considered a protector.

Dragons were very strong beasts in the first place and eating even a little bit of their flesh was considered a fortune. Even for Great Immortals, getting to eat a Dragon's Meat might be a once in a lifetime event.
