Chapter 1885 Suggestions For A Forest

Hearing the Crown Prince's words, Lin Mu recalled that there was indeed he could ask from him.
"Actually, I do." Lin Mu replied.
"What is it?" The Crown Prince asked.
"I want suggestions from you about a forest." Lin Mu replied.
"A forest? There are many forests in the Dao Wind Empire." Crown Prince Feng Shun responded with raised brows. "What are you looking for specifically? Some materials or beasts?" he questioned further.
"No… One of the techniques I obtained from the Four Guardians requires me to practice it in a Verdant Forest." Lin Mu replied.
"A Verdant forest… That doesn't narrow it down much… Within the Rust Sky World, the Dao Wind Empire has the biggest forest cover. There are literally hundreds of forests that span thousands of kilometers." Feng Shun spoke. "Most of these forests are verdant and filled with life. As such you have a lot of options." He added.
"Actually, we can narrow it down further." Crown Princess Shang interrupted. "Since Daoist Mu Lin wished to cultivate and practice the technique in the forest, I believe he wouldn't want any excess disturbance, would he?" she asked.
"Right… I won't mind a few. But constant interruptions won't be good." Lin Mu replied.
He knew that he could very well set up a secure area using formation arrays, but it could still get problematic. After all, there was no telling what kind of beasts or unexpected dangers would be residing in those forests.
After all, it wasn't just humans who had Immortal Realm cultivation base, beasts did too. There were bound to be a few beasts that were at the sixth or even Seventh Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm.
Lin Mu didn't fear getting ambushed by them, as he had the confidence to escape. Rather, he was more worried about losing focus at a crucial moment and losing the opportunity.
'That would certainly be a bigger loss for sure.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
"I guess we'll have to pick forests that are more 'calm'." Crown Prince Feng Shun said before taking out a jade slip.
He held the jade slip for a minute and closed his eyes. From the immortal Qi fluctuation, Lin Mu could tell that the man was searching for something within the Jade Slip.
"Here, you can check this." Crown Prince Feng Shun said and handed the Jade Slip to Lin Mu.
~shua~
Lin Mu injected a little Immortal Qi into it and a formation screen appeared above the Jade Slip. The formation screen was flat and looked more like a tray right now though.
~shua~
A second later, the formation screen changed and a large map appeared on it.
"The Dao Wind Continent?" Lin Mu saw that the map was showing the entirety of the Dao Wind continent.
And on the map, there were hundreds of markers. Some of the markers showed the major cities and areas, while some showed other sites like forests, mountains, lakes and more.
The markers were also of different colors, making it easier for a person to navigate and understand it.
"The map contains most of the Dao Wind Empire's locations within it along with forests. The ones I've marked in green are the ones that fit your needs. They are relatively calm forests with weaker beasts or with beasts that won't disturb you." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied.
"I see…" Lin Mu said and browsed through the map.
On it he saw about twenty different green markers that showed the forests that would be suitable for him.
Lin Mu's own location was also highlighted in the map and it was right in the center of the continent.
Ten of the green forest markers were above where he was and were located in the northern half of the Dao Wind Continent.
Three out of those were located at the very north of the continent, almost near the sea.
Feng Shun saw Lin Mu looking at them and spoke up, "Those are the forests near the Northern Ridges. They are relatively peaceful, but getting there will take a while for you."
"What if he takes a teleportation array?" Crown Princess Shang asked.
"The farthest teleportation array goes is Buck Row City." Crown Prince Feng Shun said and tapped on the map, highlighting a location. "If he wishes to go to the forests, it will still take him a couple of months from there."
"Yeah, they are quite far, indeed." Lin Mu decided against those forests. "I'll look at the others." He said before moving further down.
Below that, there were two more forests, that were also located near some cities. They were very convenient for Lin Mu, as he could just use a teleportation array to get there.
"East Walnut Forest and West Walnut Forests. These seem good choices." Lin Mu spoke. "They're right next to the Black Walnut City too."
"Black Walnut city is one of the mid sized cities in our empire. You shouldn't have any issues going there. The two forests are also very calm and are actually abundant in herbs and other materials.
Though the specialty of the region is none other than their Dark Shell Walnuts, which are a cultivation resource. A good choice indeed." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated.
"I'll consider these, but I should also check out the others." Lin Mu said and moved further on.
There were five more forests in the northern half, with two spread on the eastern side and three clustered on the western side.
"Blue Drake Woods?" Lin Mu read a particular name on the western side.
It was one of the forests that were in a cluster of three.
"Ah, that group of forests is ruled by a Blue Drake." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated. "The Blue Drake is a seventh tribulation stage immortal realm beast and rules over the entire area." He explained.
"Then won't it be dangerous?" Lin Mu asked, just in case. "Or is there something more?"
"Haha, the Blue Drake won't do anything." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "It has lived there for a long time and has an understanding with the towns there. The people there pay it a tribute every year as respect and the Blue Drake protects the area. As far as I recall, it has been living there for eighteen thousand years already." He added.
"Ah, that's good." Lin Mu replied before noticing something else. "Though I see there is no teleportation array near it."
"Hmm… seems suitable enough. But I'll look at more." Lin Mu said and finally moved to the southern half of the continent.
"Yeah that'll be an issue for you. There is no city near it that has a teleportation array. You'll have to fly there right from the Capital City. Though it's a bit near, it'll take you roughly a Month to reach there while flying." Crown Prince explained.
"Hmm… seems suitable enough. But I'll look at more." Lin Mu said and finally moved to the southern half of the continent.
This part seemed to have a lot more forests, but only ten among them were marked as suitable by the Crown Prince. And it wasn't just forests either, Lin Mu also saw several mountains, volcanoes and a few swamps mixed in the area.
Unlike the northern half, almost all of the suggested forests here seemed suitable for Lin Mu, except for two that were at the extreme southern edge. The last two were simply too far and would take extra effort to reach.
"Huh…" While Lin Mu was looking at the forests, Lin Mu recognized the name of another place that was near them. "Serene Glass Valley?" He muttered.
It was none other than the place where Shuijing Ju and Shuijing Mingzhu were from. They were Lin Mu's opponents during the tournament and had even extended an invitation to him.
"You're interested in the Serene Glass Valley?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked. "They are a staunch ally of the imperial court and are of a good standing due to them making a Peak Grade Immortal Weapon for us." He revealed.
"They have?" The Crown Princess was interested.
"Yes, they made the Tearing Glass Claws for us." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied.
"But doesn't the Emperor use something else?" Crown Princess Shang asked.
"He does yes… The Tearing Glass Claws are a reserve Peak Grade Immortal weapon that has certain conditions to use. As such, they aren't suitable for everyone.
Neither my father, nor I were able to control them. They did not accept anyone for a long time after the former emperor retired." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied.
"Are they just lying in the vault then?" the Crown Princess was curious as it would be a waste of a perfectly good weapon.
"No… We did find someone who could use it." Crown Prince Feng Shun said with a wry smile.
"Who?" She asked while Lin Mu also listened on with interest.
"My second sister… Princess Feng Lan." Crown Prince Feng Shun revealed. "The Tearing Glass Claws became her dowry when she got married. The claws picked her as the owner… which was surprising to all of us."
