Lin Mu remembered when he had met the man, his cultivation base was at the very peak of the core condescension realm. He had expected that he could have been in the pseudo nascent soul realm but now this had confirmed it for him.
"Yes, I believe you've met with the man before." Wu Hei said.
"Yeah, Hei Wen was there too. I bought an Alchemical pill from him." Lin Mu answered and Hei Wan nodded her head in acknowledgment.
There were very few people who could refine a pill like the Dark Soul pill thus it obvious that it would be him.
"So how will this event be useful to us?" Lin Mu questioned.
"The heavenly tribulation of each disciple is considered to be an important matter for any of the sects. If the disciple successfully overcame it that would mean the sect would have another Nascent Soul realm powerhouse.
And since heavenly tribulations are so rare as not many people reach that point, the sects make it a point to get as many disciples to observe and learn from it. Even the other Nascent soul realm cultivators who have already experienced it before, observe it with great interest, as it will only bring them more insights.
For the Heavenly tribulation ceremony of Alchemist Bilao, a tribulation platform is being set up. They are making a custom one for him that is suitable for his cultivation technique.
Due to this, there will be a large influx of resources and we will be able to see their movement. Along with this, there can be lapses in security that we will be taking advantage of.
But the time of action for us will be the moment when the heavenly tribulation actually starts. Most of the people will be focused on it and even the guard disciples of the vaults will be at the ceremony.
That will be the time you will act and seize the resources. Sister She Qing already gave us the locations of where the major vaults and storage pavilions of the sect are located. In total, there are twelve of them, but you only need to target four of them.
If you have more time or the opportunity, you can go to the others as well." Wu Hei explained.
"I understand. I'll do my best." Lin Mu said with confidence.
"Don't risk entering places that will expose you or put you in excess danger. We cannot afford to lose you. Oh, and… if you cannot take the resources away… don't hesitate to destroy them. While the Northern Tribes may take advantage of this in the future, Gu Yao is the immediate threat for us.
I believe the sects will be able to figure it out on their own if the danger becomes apparent." Wu Hei added.
Lin Mu nodded his head and knew that this was a valid choice. They couldn't hesitate to destroy the resources just because of the potential danger from the Northern Tribes in the future.
"Besides, the Tri cauldron peony sect is just one of our targets. Even if its resources are destroyed, there will still be other sects to support the fight against the Northern Tribes in the future." Wu Hei assured.
"I can see that. An enemy at the gates of a higher priority that's the one beyond the mountains." Lin Mu replied.
"I'll be going with you too." Jin Kou spoke.
"You will? But I doubt you will be able to enter the sect with me." Lin Mu said.
"I will just be there as a backup. And will help relay the information, after all the range of the communication jade slips is not enough to reach the capital city." Jin Kou replied.
Lin Mu looked at Wu Hei for an explanation which he probably gave.
"Jin Kou and a few other mercenaries that we saved will be acting as the relay points for communication between you and me. Jin Kou will be the nearest to you and will help in case of any emergency.
There will be three mercenaries each at the maximum range points of the communication jade slip. This way they will be able to transmit the information from one point to the other." Wu Hei explained.
"Ah, I see. This is a rather novel way of doing communication. Why don't the other sects and kingdoms do something like this?" Lin Mu questioned, feeling interested.
"Well, they just use a long distance communication jade if a need arises or just use a teleportation formation to send letters. Relay points like these are usually only used by weaker powers who don't have the same resources or in times of war when there can't be a delay in actions." Wu Hei answered.
Lin Mu nodded his head and found the merit in the information.
"Alright then, when is the Heavenly tribulation going to be?" Lin Mu questioned.
"Alchemist Bilao had informed the sect that he sensed the tribulation coming in the next ten days. So it's better if you get to the sect as soon as possible. You can even infiltrate it beforehand and check out the situation so that you won't have problems later on. Though I already have a map for you ready, which should assist you in your task." Wu Hei answered.
"Hmm… I'll probably infiltrate beforehand. But I'll need to hide well or they'll find me." Lin Mu said.
"We have that covered too." She Qing said before giving Lin Mu a set of robes and a badge.
"This is the robes of an inner court disciple of the Tri cauldron peony sect. As for the badge, since I was a junior elder before, I was able to modify parts of it to make it seem authentic to your identity. But know this that some people may still recognize you and you will also need to hide your cultivation base." She Qing explained.
Lin Mu took the robes and the badge before checking the badge with his spirit sense. He put a brand on the badge so that it would work and stored the robes in his ring for the time being.
