Chapter 2453  Finding More Traitors And Assessing Gains

Having realized this, Lin Mu quickly sent messages to Crown Prince Feng Shun.

The man understood the urgency of the situation and quickly got the Commander to set up assemblies in the remaining five military districts.

It was rather quick to do so through the military chain of command, and since they had already known about the Imperial Imperator's appointment, they expected to meet him soon. There was also knowledge of the Imperial Imperator visiting the Proving Sword Square and as such they just thought they were coming here to do the same.

Information about all that had happened in the square along with the arrests of the Black Ying Empires members had been kept secret, thus the other places had not learned of it yet. This gave them the perfect opportunity to act as the other Black Ying empire members wouldn't be able to run away in time or at least hide their secrets.

The group was anxious so the Crown Prince got more people to secure the districts. These were all people that they trusted and had already been vetted by Little Shrubby beforehand. Thus they knew there was no way they'd be traitors or involved with the Black Ying Empire.

One by one, they visited every military district and checked for the presence of the Black Ying Empire members.

Thankfully for them, they were cleaner than expected.

Out of the five remaining districts, only two of them had any Black Ying Empire members and even then there were just a total of seven people caught.

Among the seven, two had come from the Third Military District and five had come from the Sixth Military district. Commander Dui and Crown Prince Feng Shun were also relieved to learn that none of them were high ranking officials.

The only high ranking one among the traitors was the Second Lieutenant.

Now what they needed to find out was how they got turned, or who turned them. Lin Mu also checked their Spatial Storage tools for any clues, but they only found a couple more tokens and nothing of good value. It made them think that perhaps the Second Lieutenant might have been the one in charge of it all and the others might only be there to add numbers when needed.

With that done, Lin Mu could finally return to the Imperial Azalea Courtyard and let the Crown Prince handle the rest.

~huu~

Lin Mu let out a breath as he sat down in the garden chair.

"That was quite a lot of things in two days." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

"We did get a lot of the Black Ying Empire members, though." Little Shrubby replied, sitting on his lap.

"That's true." Lin Mu nodded before thinking of something. "Where's the twins and Ashy, by the way?" he asked remembering that they had gone out with Little Shrubby originally.

"They're still out playing." Little Shrubby answered. "When I left them, they were in the woods in the eastern part of the city." He added.

"I see…" Lin Mu knew that there were several small forests located within the city itself, and were mostly used as a place of relaxation for the people. It was a safe place, thus he didn't mind them being there. Plus, he could still sense their presence within the city, and knew that they were fine.

Lin Mu rested on the chair for an hour before getting up and walking into his room. There, he sat on the bed and began to cultivate. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

~HUU~

Taking a deep breath, he went over all that he had comprehended during the training session with the Saintess and began to cement his gains.

He did that over a day and then moved onto his body. He checked the state of his eight cores and how they were functioning.

'The increased Qi from the cores has certainly stabilized,' Lin Mu observed. 'But I haven't controlled the new types of Qi yet.' He thought to himself.

While he had managed to establish the seven cores, that didn't mean that he had an affinity to all seven elements of them yet. 'I guess it's a low leveled affinity right now.' Lin Mu estimated after analyzing the flow of his Qi.

He tried moving wisps of elemental immortal Qi within his Dantian and found that he could control at least a hundred wisps for the lightning and wind element, while for the Wood and water elements, he could control over four hundred wisps with ease.

It might not seem much for an immortal, but one must understand that this was full control over the wisps. 'If I want to control more, I'll probably have to improve my proficiency manually overtime, or simply improve the cores,' Lin Mu realized.

As such, he began practicing with the four elemental Qis that he had barely any experience with.

He first began with Wind elemental Qi since he had already learned Bending Will fists.

~WHOOSH~WOOSH~WHOOSH~

He made a few light gestures and found the wind moving exactly as he wanted.

"This is so much easier than before." Lin Mu was quite surprised. It was like finding you could now lift a 100 kilograms of weights with one hand when you were finding even 10 kilograms difficult to lift.

It wasn't just the control either. Lin Mu now felt like he could also convert attribute less Immortal Qi into elemental immortal Qi if he wished too.

'The cores have improved the functioning of my organs and the efficiency of conversion has improved too.' Lin Mu analyzed, finding that his conversion speed for earth and metal elements had improved by at least 50% while for fire it had improved by 30%.

For Wood and water though, it was much lower. If he put in 100 wisps of normal Qi, he would get back only 10 units of elemental Qi. And the processing speed was also much slower.

'This won't be viable to use during a battle for sure,' Lin Mu reckoned. 'Better to have a stockpile for them beforehand.'
