Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2306  A Shocking Mistake

The missing pill was rather befuddling to the three, so much so that the others noticed it too. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

They had all been cultivating to restore their Qi stores, as they had expended a decent amount earlier but they heard the slightly agitated voices.

"What's happening?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked.

"The list that Daoist Mu Lin copied seems to be wrong." Qiao De spoke.

"That can't be, I doubt he would make a mistake like that." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "Even a normal immortal wouldn't make a mistake like that for thing simple as an item list." He added.

"Is it just one item, or more than one?" Lady Kang asked upon approaching. "We haven't checked that." Daoist Chu replied.

"Do that. Perhaps we're missing on something." Lady Kang suggested.

"Alright." Lin Mu said, his immortal sense spreading out into the room and scanning each name column. At the same time, he also kept his immortal sense connected to the jade slip to match the items. With his speed, it barely took him five minutes to look through all of them. But when he was done, a serious expression appeared on his face.

"Something was wrong, wasn't it?" Lady Kang could sense.

"It's not just one… there's five items missing." Lin Mu said furrowing his brows.

"Five items?!" Crown Princess Shang was surprised. "I'd understand if you missed one or two things, but not five." "But they are…" Lin Mu replied.

"Which one's are missing?" Monk Hushu asked.

"Other than the Vile Guarding Immortal Pill, the Shadow Salve Paste, Black Leaf Laurentii, the Dark Mist Restoration Pill and Dark Husk Talisman are alls gone." Lin Mu revealed.

The group went over the names and identified some of the items.

The Shadow Salve Paste was an alchemical material that was used in the manufacture of different kinds of pills, though mainly they were intended to be used as a suppressive agent for the Light element.

The Black Leaf Laurentii on the other hand was meant to be used in the opposite way. Consuming it would grant one temporary resistance against Yin elemental energies.

The Dark Mist Restoration Pill was the most straightforward and was meant to be used for cultivators that had an affinity to the Dark element and cultivated it. It could restore their Dark Immortal Qi.

"The Dark Husk Talisman are gone? That can't be, I took a few of them the last time we were here." Daoist Chu replied. "See, I still have them." He took out a bunch of them.

The Dark Husk Talismans were protective talismans that could guard against Dark Immoral Qi attacks. But Daoist Chu had taken them, thinking they'd come in handy in their fights.

"If you have those, then…" Crown Prince Feng Shun went over the list thinking of the possibilities. "I'd understand if these were rare pills and materials, such that only singular or a handful of them were available. But none of them are like that." He stated.

"Exactly, all these are something that would be there in bulk." Crown Princess Shang agreed. The group went silent for a bit, as they wondered just how something like this could have been possible.

"There's a commonality in all the items." Ziran suddenly spoke. "They all seem to be something that would be useful for the unique environment here, as well as for those that have an affinity to the darkness." He stated.

"I don't think any of us have an affinity to the Darkness here." Min Ju spoke. "And we haven't picked out any of those items right now, either, have we?" she asked.

"Other than the Dark Husk Talisman, I haven't taken anything. Plus I didn't even use them, as I still had other's I could utilize." Daoist Chu spoke up.

"The Dark Mist Restoration Pills are something that are a bulk good." Lady Kang said. "Same could be said for the Black Leaf Laurentii as it is a protective herb. The Shadow Salve Paste is a bit of an outlier, as it cannot be used on its own but needs to be processed, but it would still be kept in bulk, especially in a place like this.

Thus for them to be gone from the list, that would only mean one thing…" she analyzed.

"Someone took them." Crown Prince Feng Shun completed her words.

"But how can that be possible?" Qiao De asked. "There's no sign of anyone coming here either." It was now that, Lin Mu realized something.

"I don't think we are alone here." Lin Mu suddenly spoke. "And this isn't the only Offering Hall, is it?" he added. "You think there's others living in this plane?" Lady Kang inquired.

"Someone from the Sacred Tear Tribe?" Min Ju asked.

"No… it's definitely not them." Lin Mu shook his head. "It would have been far too long since then."

"Could it be the other expedition members?" Elder Hu suspected. "That is one possibility." Lin Mu replied. "There's a chance that the array here is linked to those smaller spatial pockets."

"Even if it were linked, and the other members of the expedition somehow obtained these items, I highly doubt they would run out of stock here." Ziran could sense a problem. "The Black Leaf Laurentii for example is a plant that can grows in giant patches that can cover acres upon scores of areas at once. It doubt even if all 100 members of our expedition bought them, they'd be able to exhaust the supply here." He explained. "It's also doubtful if they would even be able to pass through all the trials before reaching here." Lady Kang added.

It was now that they were starting to doubt their presence here.

"Do we really know for sure that was the only entrance into this Spatial Plane?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked.

The more Lin Mu thought about it the more he realized they had been mistaken from the very start.

"We are definitely not alone here… Someone else has arrived in the Bridge plane."
