Jiao Fang had known about this pill even if he had actually not seen it ever before. A Pneuma Healing pill was a healing pill that was used to heal internal injures like the ones he had right now.

While it was just a mid rank pill, it was still rare. But it was not because of the difficulty of refinement, but rather because the ingredients needed to refine that pill were now all either extremely rare or in the control of a few sects.

Even the Tri Cauldron peony sect did not have the herbs that were required to refine the Pneuma Restoration pill. Still, it was not like the rarity of the pill was a problem for people, since there were plenty of other pills that could show the same effect and they were more economical too.

Lin Mu giving Jiao Fang a Pneuma Restoration Pill made him learn about a few things. The first thing that Lin Mu was definitely not from the sect; second that whichever power or sect Lin Mu belonged to, it was much stronger than the Tri Cauldron Peony sect, as only they would have rare herbs needed for the pill growing in their fields.

Jiao Fang started at the ring for about a minute before gritting his teeth for a moment and then eating it. The pill touched his tongue and rapidly started to melt. Once it was fully converted to liquid, Jiao Fang quickly swallowed it and got to healing himself.

He managed to sit in a meditative posture and guided the medicinal efficacy of the pill to heal his injuries. While he was doing this, Lin Mu had spread his spirit sense around the area ND was observing everything.

His main concern now was that another person may come here and witness this. Lin Mu didn't know how long the isolation formation would work for and if a random person would enter it despite the existence of the formation.

It took Jiao Fang about thirty minutes before he was able to take a breath of relief, literally. Even the bruise that was on his chest started to slowly fade away. Keeping his eyes closed, Jiao Fang pulled out another small pill bottle and ate two more pills.

These were some other healing pills that he was used to carrying with himself. Though this was the first time he was actually using them while he was inside the sect.

Till now an hour had passed and the isolating formation had long since lost its effect. A few people had walked in as well, and they had confused expressions on their faces. But it didn't last long as they saw everything to be normal.

A couple of them even passed by where Lin Mu and Jiao Fang were and looked at them curiously. After all, Lin Mu relatively handsome for the women, and Jiao Fang was eye-catching due to his torn clothes.

At first, they had thought that perhaps some conflict may have occurred between the two men. Private duels were often prohibited in the sect and the disciples that had disagreements with each other would either solve it amongst themselves or let it fall onto the backs of the Discipline hall.

But seeing both of the men sitting cross legged and cultivating calmly, they reckoned that it must have just been an accident or a friendly spar. Seeing this, the two people went away and Lin Mu stared at their backs.

"Hmm… looks like the isolation formation worked just as I had expected. Thankfully, it lasted long enough that I was able to get Jiao Fang healed. If Jiao Fang was still in pain and struggling, perhaps one of the disciples may have become suspicious.

" Lin Mu muttered to himself.

Just as Lin Mu opened his eyes, Jiao Fang did too. This time his eyes had a better look in them, and he no longer struggled to move.

"Do you feel better now?

" Lin Mu questioned the man.

"Yes….

" Jiao Fang replied in a low voice.

"Are you ready to cooperate and talk?

" Lin Mu asked further.

"Yes…

" Jiao Fang nodded his head.

"Good, then we shall talk. Though not here. Let us go back to your residence. This place is not suitable for a conversation such as that.

" Lin Mu replied.

"Alright.

" Jiao Fang said before staring up.

Both of them went back to Jiao Fang's residence and locked the doors behind their backs. Jiao Fang lightly waved his hands and the door of the residence locked up automatically.

~huu~

Jiao Fang took a deep breath as he sat down on his bed.

"Now tell me what is it that you exactly want.

" Jiao Fang said.

"Basically, what I want you to do is the same that you did for the guards of the third treasure pavilion. But this time the targets would be the guards that guard the vaults of the main peak.

" Lin Mu said.

"I believe you should be able to come up with a method on your own, to execute something like this. I've read the diary and know that it won't be your first time at a task like this.

" Lin Mu stated.

Jiao Fang went silent for a few minutes before speaking.

"I… I'll be able to do something. But whatever you want to do, it will have to be quick.

" Jiao Fang said.

"That will be fine. Mainly I want someone to delay the guards from noticing us. Or if that does not work, I just want the right opportunity to be able to observe the vault's formations when they are opened or closed.

" Lin Mu explained.

"Hmm… I should be able to do the first thing for two of the vaults, but for the final vault, this would not be possible as there are no guards on it. If you want to observe the formations though, it should be possible.

All we would need for it is the key of the vault which should be in the hands of the sect patriarch.

" Jiao Fang explained.
