    Lin Mu felt his stomach rumble and realized that he had not eaten for a few hours. Since he had already exhausted most of the energy provided by the meat that he had eaten in the past two years, he now needed to eat again regrly.


    "I’ll eat first then, I guess." Lin Mu muttered to himself.


    "You need to watch for the changes in the Nameless technique of the lost immortal. Who knows what kind of changes it may suddenly present to you." Xukong advised.


    "I understand, senior. That is why I don’t want it to trigger the hunger by holding back too much." Lin Mu replied.


    "Hmm, that would be for the best," Xukong said before going silent.


    Lin Mu left the library and found the female clerk to be standing nearby. It was almost as if she was waiting for him.


    "Senior! Good morning." The female clerk greeted.


    "Good morning. Can you tell me some good ces to eat?" Lin Mu asked.


    Although he had the guide, he reckoned asking a local would be better for now, as he did not want to go too far.


    "Of course. There are a lot of good restaurants nearby that you can go to. Let me take you to them," The female clerk said.


    "Alright," Lin Mu replied before he was attempted to be dragged by the clerk only for her to stumble.


    She rubbed her head in embarrassment and let Lin Mu walk on her own.


    ’Damn, he’s heavy... he doesn’t look that heavy though...’ The female clerk thought.


    It was not that the clerk was weak, rather she was decently strong and had a cultivation base that was at thete stage of the Qi refining realm. If she wanted to, she would be able to lift a few hundred kilograms of weight easily.


    But Lin Mu’s current strength was something on apletely different level. Not only had hepleted the entire body tempering realm, but he had also started to progress slightly in the Five treasures realm.


    Along with his peak stage core condensation realm cultivation base, there were very few people who would be able to pull and push him around. The two of them went through the streets as Lin Mu took in the sights.


    There were a variety of people living in the capital city, frommoners all the way to nobles. Lin Mu also spotted sect disciples who were going about their business. He saw plenty of cultivators who were at the core condensation realm as well. Though most of them were in the early stage and only a few were in the mid stage.


    They eventually reached a wide square and in the distance, Lin Mu could see the royal pce. On its two sides, more buildings could be seen that were rather borate and luxurious. While walking, the female clerk was enthusiastically introducing him to the various things and telling him about them.


    "And that is the new residence of minister Wu Xun, he got it recently built about six months ago. He and his family are currently residing there." The female clerk spoke.


    ’So that is where Wu Xun is...’ Lin Mu thought after seeing one of the bigger buildings near the royal pce.


    "I heard that he has two sons. Do they live there too?" Lin Mu asked.


    "Umm... I think the elder son lives somece else as he is also the son-inw of peak master Yi Deng of Tri cauldron peony sect, but the younger son does live with them." The female clerk answered.


    "I see." Lin Mu muttered.


    ’I need to at least see the condition of Wu Hei. I need to free him from the control...’ Lin Mu thought.


    "Here we are! This is the best restaurant I know of that makes amazing food. Even the noblese here to eat." The female clerk said.


    Lin Mu looked up at the building that was about five floors tall and had a wide name board that read: Big Zhao’s Heavenly Delicacies.


    "The name is pretty... impressive." Lin Mu said, finding it to be a tad too much.


    They stepped into the restaurant, finding it to be full of people. On the first floor Lin Mu mostly saw average looking people. A majority of them weremoners, but there were also some cultivators mixed in.


    A waiter spotted them as soon as they walked in and approached them.


    "A table for two?" He asked.


    Lin Mu saw the eager expression with which the female clerk was looking around and sighed to himself.


    "Yes." Lin Mu replied.


    "Pleasee with me then," the waiter said and was about to take them to one of the empty tables.


    But then the female clerk suddenly spoke, "wait, we want a table on the fourth floor."


    "Oh?" the clerk looked at the two of them with a questioning look. He could tell that the two of them were cultivators, but from their clothes, it did not seem like they were affluent enough.


    "This senior is at the core condensation realm." The female clerk spoke.


    Just as she said this, Lin Mu felt a spirit sense probe nearing him. His eyes darted to the source and his aura fluctuated, halting the spirit sense in its tracks. He found the spirit sense to being from a guard that was standing at the stairs of the next floor.


    He had a surprised expression on his face and secretly gulped. The waiter seemed to have turned to look at him as well, only to see him nod and gesture something with his fingers.


    The waiter’s eyes went wide too, but he quickly controlled himself. Lin Mu of course, witnessed the entire interaction and wondered if they had suspected something or not.


    "Forgive me, senior, pleasee with me. You are eligible to sit on the fourth floor." The waiter spoke and took them upstairs.


    Lin Mu saw more cultivators on the upper floors, but when he reached the fourth floor he was shocked to see someone he had not expected.


    "Wu Hei..."
