Just like Sir Yu had said, they wouldn’t have been able to stop Lin Fan if he wanted to go anywhere.
With his cultivation, it could be said that he was one of the more powerful people in the Mu Empire. The only ones that could actually keep up with me were the powerful experts of the Mu Empire.
Those experts were ones that would remain hidden in the Mu Empire since they were treated as high ranking members. They would be loyal to the royal family and would be part of the group that would ensure the safety of the Mu Empire if anything happened.
As such, they wouldn’t be free to move around that easily.
They would usually stay in the capital or other important parts of the Mu Empire.
So there wouldn’t be anyone that would be able to match Lin Fan if he were to do anything, or at least not on the side of the Mu Empire.
Lin Fan wasn’t foolish enough to cause trouble since there were always hidden dragons and crouching tigers that would be hidden in this cultivation world. There was no telling what kind of people might come out of the woodworks if he were to actually cause trouble.
Lin Fan wasn’t going to add more trouble to what he was already experiencing.
There was only one reason that he was here in the first place.
After leaving the gate and the guards behind, the first thing that Lin Fan did was find an inn.
The inn wasn’t that high class, but it wasn’t a terrible place either.
It was just a normal inn that one might find anywhere in this city, there was nothing special about this place.
However, this was the inn that Lin Fan chose to stay in.
That was because he didn’t plan on staying in the inn in the first place. He had planned on leaving the inn and searching for the thing that he came here to look for.
He just wanted the inn as a cover just in case anyone was watching him. So once he settled in the inn, he immediately jumped out a back way and flew up into the air.
Once he was in the air, Lin Fan headed off in a certain direction.
There was no fear in doing this since if there was anyone that could follow him when he did this, they would have been able to follow him from the beginning.
If they could follow him from the beginning, then they would be much stronger than him to begin with. So there was nothing that he would have been able to do against these people.
As for coming into the city by foot, that was just to leave some kind of track record. It was a sort of alibi for him if there was anything that went wrong.
After flying into the air, Lin Fan headed off in a certain direction.
He flew high enough that the people below wouldn’t be able to see him. At the same time, he flew off at a speed that normal people weren’t able to follow.
After flying for a while, he suddenly stopped.
As he floated there in the air, he looked down at the scene that was spread out in front of him.
It was a small hill that was spread out in front of him, but this small hill wasn’t a normal hill. There was this strange green hue to this hill that made it look out of place.
There wasn’t even a single trace of vegetation that was on this hill, which made it seem even more strange.
But that was because this was a very special hill.
This hill was known by the locals as Tortoise Hill.
The reason this hill had this name was because this hill resembled a tortoise’s shell.
As for why this hill resembled a tortoise shell, it was because of the special mineral that was in the ground of this hill. It was a mineral that made the ground green, rough, and made plants unable to grow on this hill.
As for why this mineral gathered on this hill, it wasn’t something that anyone knew.
That didn’t mean that there weren’t those who had tried to find out what was special about Tortoise Hill. There were definitely those that came to search Tortoise Hill for the reason why there was this strange mineral in the ground, but no one had been able to find a single clue.
So it was left as one of the mysteries of this place.
The reason why Lin Fan was here pertained to the mystery of this place.
Rather, he knew why Tortoise Hill was like this and he knew that there would be another burst of this strange mineral coming soon. It would fill the ground of Tortoise Hill and make the hill a bit bigger.
Though no one would be able to notice it since it would only be a small increase in the first place. This had been happening for a long time now and no one had been able to figure out that Tortoise Hill was growing since the growth was only a few centimeters.
But how could the growth only be a few centimeters?
It was because the mineral that was released from under the ground would be completely spread out through the entirety of Tortoise Hill.
Tortoise Hill might be a small hill, but it still covered a large area which gave it more than enough space to spread out these new minerals that appeared.
After looking at the hill for a bit, Lin Fan suddenly floated down.
He didn’t go right for the hill, but rather he landed on the edge of the hill where there was still some vegetation. The further that one got from Tortoise Hill, the more that the vegetation came back.
At the foot of the hill, there was a gradual change in the landscape.
It was a few patches of grass at first, but the vegetation in the surrounding area slowly recovered before it grew into a large forest.
It really was a strange sight seeing this hill that was completely devoid of any vegetation in the center of a forest like this.
One would think that this was a place that many people would search for treasures in, but there was no one that was around.
This Tortoise Hill had been here for a long time and there were many people that had searched it before. There were even people that had taken samples from the dirt and tried to find some useful way to use that dirt.
However, there wasn’t a single thing of value in that dirt.
In the end, everyone had no choice but to abandon this place since there was nothing that they could gain from this place.
After landing at the edge of the hill, Lin Fan started walking into the forest.
However, he wasn’t walking around randomly.
Lin Fan pulled out a map that he put in front of his face as he walked forward. With the way that he looked carefully at the map as he moved forward, it was clear that he was following the map to reach something.
He didn’t go as fast as before as he slowly walked deeper into the forest.
During this time, it was almost as if his face was placed deep in the map as he walked forward. It was almost as if he didn’t want to miss a single thing with how carefully he was looking at the map.
Eventually, he started walking even slower while also looking up around him as if he was searching for something.
It didn’t seem like there was anything special about this place as it looked just like the forest that he had walked through before. But when one looked closely, they would be able to see that there was something different about this place.
It was very hard to see if one didn’t know what they were looking for. It was only by looking carefully that they would be able to see it.
It was only a few small patches, but there were some parts of the ground where the vegetation wasn’t growing. It seemed as if there was something that was inhibiting the plants from growing in those places.
As Lin Fan went further and further forward, these patches became more and more common.
It was similar to how there weren’t any plants that grew at the edge of Tortoise Hill.
It was almost as if there was something similar in the dirt here that prevented the plants from growing.
When Lin Fan saw this, he knew that he was on the right track, so he started moving faster until he arrived at what he was looking for.
In front of him was a cave and there were no plants that grew here.
One would think that this was normal since the plants wouldn’t grow close to the cave opening that was made of rock, but…there wasn’t even a single trace of moss that was growing on the cave opening.
This showed that there was something that inhibited the moss from growing, just like how it inhibited the plants from growing.
Lin Fan went forward to stroke his finger across the opening of the cave and when he brought that finger up in front of his eyes, he revealed a satisfied smile as he said to himself, “It seems that this is the place.”
After that, he walked right into the cave without any hesitation.
