Chapter 174: Array Master

The next morning, Lin Mu woke up slowly.

All he saw was luxurious scenes, and Lin Mu suddenly realized that he must be in Zuixinju.

Yunmeng sat by the bed, with bright eyes and white teeth, and a beautiful smile.

"Why is Junior Sister here?" Lin Mu stood up, and his mind had recovered.

Yunmeng's cheeks were flushed, and she scolded: "Why can't I be here! You were drunk and unconscious last night. If it weren't for me, I'm afraid you would have slept on the floor."

Lin Mu looked at the luxurious scenes around him, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This must be Zuixinju. Sleeping here for one night, a thousand low-grade spirit stones are gone just like that."

Yunmeng smiled and covered her mouth, "When did Senior Brother become so stingy? He didn't care about spirit stones at all at the beginning."

Lin Mu smiled bitterly, "It's not easy to earn spirit stones. I slept here for one night, and I have to work hard for many days to earn back these one thousand low-grade spirit stones."

Although he is now in the middle stage of foundation building, he is unwilling to waste spirit stones casually.

Yun Meng recalled that Lin Mu had given her a thousand low-grade spirit stones before leaving.

At that time, he was only in the Qi Refining Stage, and his cultivation was far inferior to that of now, so his wealth was naturally not rich.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel happy, and a blush appeared on her face.

"I will pay for this thousand spirit stones, are you satisfied?" Yun Meng smiled.

Lin Mu hurriedly said, "Don't do it, you have just established your foundation, and you need spirit stones at the right time." Then he smiled and said, "Although Senior Brother is very poor, I can still afford this amount of spirit stones."

Yun Meng smiled and nodded, Lin Mu got up, washed up, called the maid, and paid the spirit stones.

The two left Zuixinju, and Lin Mu said, "Why don't you go back first, I'll do something, and then I'll find you and say goodbye to you."

Farewell?

Yun Meng was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Where are you going, are you not going back to the sect?"

Sect?

Lin Mu smiled bitterly, such a sect was not worth him going back.

Lin Mu said, "Maybe I will go back in the future, but I can't do it now. My parents and I found a third-grade cave paradise and are practicing there. We can't give it up and can't go back for the time being."

Yun Meng lowered her head and remained silent for a long time, then raised her head and asked Lin Mu, "Do you hate the Sect Master?"

She had vaguely heard about Lin Mu and thought about it a lot. She knew that the reason why Lin Mu fell into this situation was all thanks to the Sect Master Shi Weihan.

Whether Lin Mu hated Shi Weihan or not, she hated him.

If it weren't for Shi Weihan, Lin Mu wouldn't have taken the risk, and she wouldn't have not seen Lin Mu for so many years.

Lin Mu smiled and said, "What if I hate him? What if I don't hate him? I survived and I'm living well now. But what Shi Weihan gave me, I will give back to him one day."

Yun Meng said, "I don't want to go back to the sect. There are intrigues and endless fighting inside. Why don't I go to your cave paradise to practice in peace? Do you welcome me?" After saying that, she looked at Lin Mu pitifully.

Lin Mu felt nervous. Looking at Yun Meng's beautiful face, his face turned red. He turned away quickly, but it was difficult to refuse, so he could only say: "Why are you doing this?"

Yun Meng smiled and said: "This is not suffering. There are too many restrictions in the sect. You have to see people you don't want to see, do things you don't want to do, and say things you don't want to say. That's suffering."

Lin Mu couldn't refute it. What Yun Meng said was true. This was why he didn't want to return to the sect. He would rather be self-reliant, self-sufficient, and free outside.

He nodded gently.

Yun Meng immediately smiled, like a hundred flowers blooming, and the surroundings suddenly brightened.

Lin Mu lowered his head and said, "I'm going to the market to do something. I'll be back soon. You go back first and I'll find you later."

Yun Meng smiled and said, "I'll go with you. Don't make excuses to escape. You said you would be back in three months, but you didn't come back."

Lin Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, let's go."

The two walked towards the market, and Yun Meng followed closely behind Lin Mu, fearing that he would suddenly disappear.

Lin Mu took Yun Meng and went straight to the Free Market.

Free Market!

Ren Cai sat cross-legged in the southwest corner of the square, expressionless, and the magic stone tablet beside him was shining, with lines of text floating up and down, and light and shadow interlaced.

Lin Mu came to Ren Cai and asked straight to the point without wasting words: "I posted a task before, looking for a third-grade array master. I wonder if there is any news?"

Ren Cai looked up at Lin Mu, his face calm as water. He stretched out his hand and touched the magic stone tablet. A flash of spiritual light flashed, and lines of text quickly moved, and tasks continued to appear.

Suddenly!

The light stagnated, and all the texts stopped moving.

In the middle of the magic stone tablet, a line of text was extremely eye-catching.

Urgently need a third-grade or higher array master to help set up the array. All the array setting equipment will be provided by me. The treatment is favorable and the price is negotiable. Those who are interested can come quickly! —Completed.

Completed!

Lin Mu looked at the three small words at the back and his face was happy.

Ren Cai said: "Wait a moment, the array master will be here soon."

Then he took out a sound transmission note from the storage bag, whispered a few words, and the sound transmission note flew to the market.

Lin Mu and Yun Meng looked at each other, both smiling.

After a cup of tea, a figure flew over from a distance.

This is a middle-aged cultivator, wearing a golden robe, and his cultivation is already in the late stage of foundation building.

As soon as he landed, he saluted Lin Mu and Yun Meng, and then looked at Ren Cai.

Ren Cai glanced at this person and said lightly: "He is the employer." Then he turned to Lin Mu and said: "This is Jin Gu, a third-grade formation master. You can negotiate in person. If there is any problem, you can find another one."

Lin Mu smiled and saluted Ren Cai to thank him. Then he turned around and said to Jin Gu: "I want to set up a third-grade mountain protection formation. The defense should at least be able to withstand the attack of a late-stage spiritual cultivator. I wonder if you can set it up?"

Jin Gu is only in the late stage of foundation building, and Lin Mu is also a little worried whether he can set up a convincing formation.

Jin Gu knew that Lin Mu was worried about his insufficient cultivation, and said with a smile: "The formation of the formation master is related to the cultivation, but not absolute. Although my cultivation is in the late stage of foundation building, I have arranged no less than 200 third-grade formations. A mere mountain protection formation is not difficult for me."

After Jin Gu finished speaking, a confident aura spread out, and Lin Mu's eyes lit up.

Lin Mu smiled and said, "That's great. I wonder what kind of mountain protection formation you can set up. Can you tell me about it? If you can really satisfy me, you don't have to worry about the reward. I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Jin Gu smiled and said, "I am good at the third-grade formation "Golden Stone Formation". It is easy to set up and powerful. This third-grade "Golden Stone Formation" is based on gold and earth. Gold is mainly for attack and earth is mainly for defense. It has both offense and defense. It is the most suitable for mountain protection formation."

Lin Mu nodded and smiled, "Then use this "Golden Stone Formation". What do you want in terms of reward?"

Jin Gu glanced at Lin Mu and smiled, "How far is your cave paradise from here?"

"About a thousand miles." Lin Mu answered truthfully.

Jin Gu pondered for a moment and replied, "It's not too far. In this case, you only need to pay me 8,000 low-grade spirit stones. How about it? Of course, all the formation equipment must be prepared."

Eight thousand spirit stones!

Yun Meng was stunned. This person asked for such a high price for setting up a formation.

Lin Mu didn't care. Formation masters are rare and hard to find. There are risks in helping others set up formations. If after the formation is completed, others refuse to pay the spirit stones, or the employer is cruel and kills people to silence them, the formation master himself is not strong, and the risk is very high.

These 8,000 low-grade spirit stones are not expensive.

Lin Mu smiled and nodded: "It doesn't matter. If you can really satisfy me, I will increase the price as appropriate."

Jin Gu was overjoyed and thought to himself that he finally met a sponsor.

This man is so rich and his character doesn't seem to be a bad person.

This time he will make a lot of money!

Jin Gu looked happy, took out a piece of paper from his storage bag, handed it to Lin Mu, and said with a smile: "This is the list of equipment needed for the formation, you just need to buy it according to the list."

Lin Mu took the list, which listed a long list of various formation equipment, nothing more than formation plates and flags. In addition, two top-grade magic tools were needed, one gold and one earth. These two magic tools are extremely important. They are the core of this "Golden Stone Formation", that is, the eye of the formation.

The items listed on this list are probably worth a lot of money.

Lin Mu put the list away: "Go buy it now. We will meet here again in three hours. How about setting off?"

Jin Gu smiled: "You go first. I have nothing to do, so I will wait here."

Lin Mu smiled and said goodbye to Jin Gu and Ren Cai, and left with Yun Meng.

The two left the free market. Lin Mu hesitated for a moment and walked towards Qianbao Pavilion.

There were many shops in Linwufang. Lin Mu didn't know what other shops were like, so he decided to go to Qianbao Pavilion first.

The two crossed several streets and came to the door of Qianbao Pavilion.

As soon as they entered the door, the owner came out with a smile, his eyes narrowed into a thin line: "Two distinguished guests, what do you want to order?"

Lin Mu took out the list, handed it to the owner, and said with a smile: "Can you get all the things on it in your store?"

The owner took the list, glanced at it, and then smiled: "What's the difficulty? Qianbao Pavilion's name is not in vain. The shop may not have the best magic tools, but these things are not lacking in the shop. Please wait a moment, I will send someone to get them immediately."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to call the waiter, handed over the list, and ordered: "Go and find all the things on it quickly, and be quick."

The waiter took the list and went to the shelves to look for it.

A moment later, the waiter came over, sweating, holding a green cloth bag in his hand, which was already full of array plates, array flags and the like, and two top-grade magic tools in his hand, which he placed on the counter.

Lin Mu's face lit up, and he asked with a smile: "How many spirit stones are these in total?"

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and smiled: "These array plates, array flags and the like are the most troublesome to refine. Each one is not too expensive, but you bought too many, no less than 600 pieces, so let's count it as 20,000 low-grade spirit stones. These two top-grade magic tools, this Golden Scale Shuttle has amazing attack power, at least 9,000 low-grade spirit stones, and this Earth Sky Turntable has good defense power, and it also needs 8,000 low-grade spirit stones."

A total of 37,000 low-grade spirit stones!

Lin Mu smiled and said: "This is not the first time I buy in your store, can you give me a discount?"

The shopkeeper opened his eyes, which were small and shrewd, and then narrowed them and smiled, "Since you said so, I can't refuse you, so I'll count it as 36,000 spirit stones."

Yun Meng was delighted. With just one word from Lin Mu, the 1,000 spirit stones from last night were returned.
