One of Lin Mu’s goal in coming to the Holy Topaz Continent was to find materials that were needed for him to progress his body cultivation.

Senior Xukong had given him the option of three body cultivation techniques: The Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets, The Three Apertures Invoking Technique, and finally the Deep Nether Vitriolic Baptism.

Out of the three, the Deep Nether Vitriolic Baptism was unusable since the requirement for it was a Caustic Nether Spring. Unless Lin Mu could stumble upon one, it would be impossible for him to cultivate it.

This left him with the Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets and the Three Apertures Provoking Technique. Both of these needed special materials to cultivate, that Lin Mu intended to find in the Holy Topaz Empire.

And to do that, he decided to first see if he could find them in the shops here.

“What do you wish to do now?” Shu Shaoxing asked, seeing that Lin Mu was thinking about something.

“I want to find shops selling body cultivation materials. I’d like to see if I can find them there before going out to search for them.” Lin Mu replied.

“That should be easy. There is no lack of such shops.” Shu Shaoxing said before taking out a booklet. “This should help us with it. It’s got all the information we need about the city.”

“Ah, good.” Lin Mu took the booklet, realizing that it was actually a spirit tool.

Similar to a jade slip, as long as one injected some Qi, it would show the stored information. The booklet was basically an all comprehensive map about the Holy Topaz empire and was quite detailed.

Lin Mu spent five minutest looking through it and found most of the information that he needed.

The city they were in was one of the biggest cities of the Holy Topaz Empire. It was called as the Middle Fort City and was quite important as it had one of the Transcontinental teleportation arrays in it.

The reason why it was called as the Middle Fort city was because it was originally built as a fort to guard the Desolate Blood Battlefield. There were two more such cities, named as the Upper Fort City and Bottom Fort city, but they had been destroyed a long time in the past.

Back then, there used to be multiple entrances to the Desolate Blood Battlefield, and the other two cities guarded the upper and bottom entrances. But now that it was all in the past, the function of the city had changed.

It was now an important center of commerce and all the goods traded in it were highly valued. Not to mention, there were a lot of materials that were brought in from the Desolate Blood Battlefield as well and sold here.

Lin Mu quickly found several of these shops and decided to go check them out.

“Did you find what you needed?” Shu Shaoxing asked.

“Yes, thank you for this.” Lin Mu handed the booklet back.

“You’re welcome.” Shu Shaoxing said before talking out a jade slip. “Why don’t we exchange our contacts? It might come in handy later.” He asked.

“Sure,” Lin Mu didn’t mind that, as he could see that Shu Shaoxing was a decent man and was knowledgeable too. ‘It doesn’t hurt to make some friends anyways.’ He thought.

“Contact me if you need help, brother Mu Lin. I’ll be heading off now. I got some work to do too, I’ll leave you be.” Shu Shaoxing bid farewell.

“Good bye.” Lin Mu said cupping his hands.

Shu Shaoxing quickly left after that, and from what Lin Mu could see, the man was leaving the city right away.

‘He said he wanted to research grass type herbs, so I guess he is heading out to the wilderness.’ Lin Mu thought before going on his own path.

His destination was a large building by the name of Grand Sky Pavilion.

According to the information that Lin Mu had read, the Grand Sky Pavilion dealt with everything, whether it be alchemical pills, herbs, fruits, refining materials, Qi skills as well as cultivation techniques.

They were also said to be the biggest independent supplier other than the Empire itself.

If there was something that Lin Mu needed, he would surely find it in the Grand Sky Pavilion.

And upon reaching the Grand Sky Pavilion he realized that the Grand Imperial Bank of the Holy Topaz Empire was still small considered to it.

The Grand Sky Pavilion was over a kilometer in size and had several sections inside, divided into individual buildings. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that this was an entire town contained within the city.

“Guess they are worthy of their name… Even the Formation arrays here are formidable… I can’t even read half of them.” Lin Mu muttered as he sensed the Immortal Formation arrays around the Grand Sky Pavilion.

There were so many of them overlaid that it was almost impossible for Lin Mu to read it right away. He would have to focus and unravel each layer to see what was hiding under it. With such a display of arrays, Lin Mu’s confidence in the organization rose.

Similar to the Grand Imperial Bank, there were thousands of people here, but there was no lack of staff to attend to them either.

“Where do I go if I want to look for Body Cultivation materials?” Lin Mu asked one of the passing staff members.

“Body Cultivation materials?” The staff member paused before pointing to another section. “That is the Vitality Hall. That is where you can find everything to do with body cultivation.”

“Thank you.” Lin Mu quickly made his way there, leaving the staff member a bit confused.

‘He didn’t seem like a body cultivator from his physique… he’s too thin for that. Maybe he want’s to start cultivating his body?’ to the staff, most body cultivators were large people with muscular bodies.

To them, Lin Mu didn’t exactly fit the description. After all, the techniques that Lin Mu had practiced were quite different.
