Hearing that the sect master of the Noon Grass sect was wary about the actions of the other top sect, Jing Luo was a bit intrigued.
"Sect Master Hua knows about this?" Jing Luo asked.
"I don't exactly know how much he knows, as even we don't know. All that he told us before leaving was to not get involved with the sects that are asking us to join their alliances and to keep away from them.
I never knew there was such a problem behind it." Hua San replied.
"I see… Sect master Hua certainly has a great foresight to be able to see the problems even when the top three sects could not." Jing Luo said with a sigh.
Hua San and Hua Wu didn't speak and waited for Jing Luo to continue.
"Alright… I can help you guys out as long as you can contact sect master Hua and tell him about Gu Yao. You should be able to tell that this matter involves the entire world and can lead to a lot of people dying." Jing Luo stated.
"Of course, senior. This can actually be considered a favor from you to us. By telling us this, you may have just saved our sect perhaps." San Hua spoke.
"We shall certainly inform master about this. Currently, we can't contact him since we are too far from the set, but once we return we shall definitely do so." Hua Wu added.
"Ah, yes. You do not have a high grade communication jade slip, do you?" Jing Luo questioned.
"Yes, we don't. I think in the entire sect, only the supreme elder and master have one. They are far too rare for us to be able to get one." Hua San said with a little embarrassment.
"Well then, here you go." Jing Luo said before handing two jade slips to the disciples.
"Huh? High grade communication Jade Slips!?" The two disciples were shocked upon seeing this.
They had never expected that they would just get one like this. And it was not just a single one, but two, one for each of them. One must know that even if a communication jade slip was also a spirit tool and that it would not be that hard for them to get a high grade spirit tool from the sect, jade slips were still hard to make.
The higher the grade, the more difficult it was to make them. But there was also the matter of the components required for it; they were simply far to difficult to find and expensive to use since they could be destroyed if the production failed.
This was the reason why high grade communication jade slips were even rarer than the other high grade spirit tools and weapons.
As for peak grade communication jade slips?
It was said that a peak grade communication jade slip would work no matter where someone was in the world.
"My communication jade slip is linked to those two, so once you link that with your masters, we will be able to communicate." Jing Luo spoke.
"We shall do that then, senior." Hua San replied.
"Before I get to making the tribulation attenuation formation though, there is one more person you should meet." Jing Luo spoke.
"Oh? Who is it?" Hua San asked.
Originally, Lin Mu and Jing Luo had wanted to talk a bit more with the two disciples and thought that they would need to do a lot more convincing. But everything had gone much easier and there was no need for Lin Mu to come in with his planned act at all.
And since that was out of the way, Lin Mu had no chance to appear and was still listening to the entire thing while hidden in the walls. Of course, he couldn't appear directly out of the walls upon being called, as it would seem inappropriate and work against the act they had done till now.
Thus, Lin Mu waited for Jing Luo to contact him using the communication jade slip.
The two disciples looked outside the cave as they suddenly felt a presence outside. There were spirit Qi fluctuations coming from there and they could tell that they were at the Nascent soul realm as well.
~gulp~
Finally, they saw a handsome man enter the cave. He was far younger than them and looked to be barely twenty years old. But the spirit Qi fluctuations coming from his body showed that he was no less powerful than Jing Luo here.
"Greetings senior!" The two of them hurriedly cupped their hands, realizing that it was another strong person.
"Greetings, I am Lin Mu." He introduced himself.
"Come sit. We'll talk for a bit." Jing Luo said and quickly explained the situation to him.
Even though Lin Mu knew about it already, they needed to do so to keep up the act. They were too far in and could not break it anymore. Thankfully, Jing Luo was able to wind it up in just five minutes.
"I see… well, I'm in agreement with everything and am thankful that you two are willing to talk to the sect master on our behalf." Lin Mu spoke.
"It is fine, senior Lin Mu. We shall do our best." Hua San said.
"Though, you two are also looking for Thousand year old Hong Lin trees like us." Lin Mu spoke. "I guess we can join up in finding them." He added.
"Seniors are looking for them too? Do you want the wood as well?" Hua Wu questioned.
"Well… Jing Luo wants the sap of thousand year old Hong Lin trees, but I just want the living trees themselves." Lin Mu answered.
"Hmm… we tried searching but couldn't really come up with any clues other than asking the king's chief adviser. While they do have the thousand year old Hong Lin wood in their reserve storage, I don't know if it is enough." Hua San spoke.
"I know. That's why I have been searching for them myself as well." Lin Mu replied.
