Chapter 1783 A Request For Tian Ning
?
Upon reaching the healing Pavilion, Lin Mu simply asked for Tian Ning.
"Tian Ning? He's in the inner hall." The healer of the Temple spoke.
He seemed to have recognized Lin Mu as well and allowed him entry.
The inner hall of the healing pavilion was intended for those that had been injured heavily. It was clear that the damage Lin Mu had inflicted on the man was worse than he had initially thought.
In the inner hall, there was just one more person other than Tian Ning and he seemed to be deep asleep. Lin Mu recognized the other person to be the contestant who had fought against third prince Feng Baxing.
'Hmm… he seems to be fine on the surface. But his internals are all disturbed. His Qi is also unstable while his vitality is barely regimenting.' Lin Mu used his immortal sense to quickly assess the injured contestant.
Even with the help of the Healing Pavilion the cultivator had only recovered from his flesh wounds. The rest of the internal injuries were something that would take longer to heal.
"Daoist Mu Lin?" Tian Ning was certainly surprised to see Lin Mu there. "Why have you come here?" he wondered.
"I wished to talk to you." Lin Mu replied.
"Talk to me? Why?" Tian Ning was confused.
"There aren't many who can manifest a Titan Form thus I was interested." Lin Mu spoke.
As soon as Tian Ning heard this his expression changed. "So you know about it."
"Yes… it is certainly impressive of you to be able to use it already." Lin Mu replied. "And you also said that you had used it against Feng Baxing in the past?"
"Yeah… though it was only for a few seconds. It still managed to end the fight in a draw." Tian Ning recalled the memory.
"I see… that only raises my opinion of you." Lin Mu praised. "I also wished you to ask of another thing." He added.
"What?" Tian Ning inquired.
"Your master… He is also a celestial isn't he?" Lin Mu stated much to the man's shock.
"How do you…" Tian Ning was shocked but then realized something. "So you as well… that certainly answers a few things." He let out a sigh.
Lin Mu let the man process for a minute before he spoke again.
"You're correct. My master is a celestial indeed." Tian Ning confirmed.
"There aren't many celestials one would get to meet here, thus I was interested." Lin Mu stated.
"That is understandable." Tian Ning said while chuckling. "Master always gets bothered by cultivators wherever he goes, thus he doesn't announce his presence anymore." He explained.
"That's why no one knows about him here on the Rust Sky world." Lin Mu guessed.
"Not exactly… My master doesn't exactly 'live' in the Rust Sky world. That would be pushing the limits of the world." Tian Ning replied. "He lives outside the Rust Sky world. I have to leave the world to learn from him every time." He explained.
"That does make sense." Lin Mu muttered.
He had been wondering how could a celestial exist in the Rust Sky world unless they had sealed their cultivation like the Saintess too. But if that person didn't live in the Rust Sky world itself, it made sense.
But it also posed another question for Lin Mu.
How would Tian Ning go to a place that could accommodate both himself and a celestial?
There weren't many options for that, after all.
"My master lives on, or rather in, a special ship." Tian Ning stated. "He told me it's a ship that can traverse the space and travel to the different worlds."
Hearing that, Lin Mu's ears perked up. After all, he knew exactly what Tian Ning was talking about it.
'It's definitely above an immortal tool… A ship that can accommodate everyone.' Lin Mu remembered reading about such ships.
They were basically vehicles that were quite expensive to make and were only in the hands of wealthy experts. Tian Ning's Master being a celestial meant that he fit the profile perfectly.
"If would like to make a request to you," Lin Mu suddenly spoke.
"I can guess. You want to meet my master, right?" Tian Ning questioned.
"Indeed." Lin Mu could only imagine what he could get to learn from the man.
While Xukong knew a lot, his scope of information still had limitations. It was best to ask someone that was aware of all recent events, which just might be Tian Ning's master.
"While it's not impossible… it won't be anytime soon." Tian Ning replied. "He's in secluded cultivation. It's also why I came back to the Rust Sky world for participating." He revealed.
"I see… how long will it take him?" Lin Mu questioned.
While he wasn't in any rush, it would still be good to know when would be the next opening.
"Around thirty years?" Tian Ning replied.
Hearing that, Lin Mu's excitement quickly died down. To other immortals, thirty years was a small time, especially when considering the fact that they could meet a celestial.
But in the case of Lin Mu, it was still a bit long. After all, his current age was less than the time Tian Ning was asking him to wait. Still, Lin Mu didn't show any reaction on his face and simply nodded.
"That's fine. We'll meet when it's convenient." Lin Mu replied. "I'll try to get your master an appropriate gift as well." He wasn't one to go to an expert empty handed after all.
It would simply be rude to ask a celestial questions openly. That would be a demand and not a request. If he wished to have a good impression, it was best to bring a gift.
'Thirty years is more than enough to obtain the right kind of gift.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
"Alright then. I'll talk to Master when the time is appropriate." Tian Ning said. "You can give me your Communication Jade slip contact for now."
"Of course." Lin Mu exchanged contacts with Tian Ning, effectively forging a potential connection with a celestial.
