Chapter 252 - More Rewards

Hei Bao seemed confused upon hearing Lin Mu's words. He could not think of anyone that would fit that description and wondered if it was someone that he didn't know of. They had already done their research on Lin Mu and thought that they knew most of the things about them.

In case of friends, Hei Bao knew that Lin Mu did not have any friends left in the town. Many of his childhood friends had left the town over the years and some had even died in the plague. While there were others who chose to leave the town after their family members died.

One of the ones that was still left was Lu Xiao, but even he had become distant over time. Another guess he had that the friend Lin Mu was talking about was perhaps someone from Jing Wei's emporium. There was little they knew about that shop or its owner.

Hei Bao thought that he may as well ask right now as he had a good guess that his Lord would want to surely reward Lin Mu. It was better if he told him what was the need of Lin Mu, that way there would be no loss of precious time.

Lin Mu halted in his steps and looked at Hei Bao.

"I would like spirit stones and Basic Qi pills. As many as you can give me." Lin Mu replied without hesitation.

Lin Mu had his goals set and knew that the fastest way to reach the next realm would be for him to have resources such as these. He had already gotten some from Jing Wei and Duan Ke, but considering his pace of their consumption, Lin Mu knew that they would not last long.

Practicing the nameless technique of the lost immortal also needed a lot of liquid
