The two walked to the end of the corridor and entered another passageway, which led them to a series of adjoining rooms.
There were no numbers on the rooms and, finally, after passing by more than a dozen rooms, Little Xu stopped in front of one of them, leading Xiao Mu.
Little Xu paused, pointed at the door, and said, "Mr. Xiao, the previous Mr. Wang stayed in this room. He went for a meal and isn't here at the moment. Would you like the room to the right or the one to the left?"
"Either is fine. I have no particular requirement for the room. Let's take the one on the left," Xiao Mu casually chose one.
"Mr. Xiao, please."
Little Xu, standing sideways, helped push the door to the left room open for Xiao Mu to enter.
The room was not large, merely a one-bedroom suite, probably about forty to fifty square meters in size. Yet, the arrangements inside were clean and came with all kinds of living necessities.
"This is a nice room, thank you for the trouble," Xiao Mu said as he stepped inside, turned to face Little Xu, and strategically blocked the doorway.
"Mr. Xiao, do you want me to pass on your message to Mr. Wang?"
Little Xu quietly asked Xiao Mu, with an attitude of fearing inadequate hospitality.
"No need, I will contact him myself. Also, I'm going into seclusion. During this time, unless I come out on my own, do not come to disturb me."
Xiao Mu declined Little Xu's offer and then stated his own request.
"Yes, Mr. Xiao, I will remember your words and will also tell others not to disturb you."
Little Xu responded very submissively to Xiao Mu.
"Good, you may leave now. Wait, take these three energy fruits with you. I am very satisfied with your service; this is to show my gratitude."
As he spoke, Xiao Mu called Little Xu back and took out three ordinary energy fruits from the Earth Seal Space and handed them to Little Xu.
"Ah~"
Little Xu clearly was astonished to suddenly receive energy fruits from Xiao Mu, couldn't help but exclaim, hurriedly accepted them without guilt, and with a mix of confusion and joy, took the energy fruits from Xiao Mu's hand "Thank you, Mr. Xiao. Thank you very much."
"Don't mention it, you may go now."
Xiao Mu nodded at the other party.
"Yes, Mr. Xiao. If you need anything, please feel free to call me." Little Xu bowed slightly with politeness to Xiao Mu before retreating outwards and leaving the doorway of Xiao Mu's room.
Xiao Mu nodded at the other party, casually closed the door, and went inside.
He listened attentively to the sounds from the room on the right side. With his hearing, he could tell straight away that Wang Yu's room was empty at the moment.
Sitting down on the floor, he waited patiently.
About an hour or two later, faint footsteps echoed in the corridor and, to Xiao Mu's ears, these faint footsteps were crystal clear.
Xiao Mu immediately recognized that these were the footsteps of Wang Yu returning.
With a gesture of his hand, a flash of yellow light appeared and the Ghost Servant materialized in front of Xiao Mu.
"Greetings, Master!"
The Ghost Servant knelt on one knee to salute Xiao Mu.
"Rise!"
Xiao Mu gestured with his hand for the Ghost Servant to get up, "I have a task for you."
"Please command me, Master. Your servant would not hesitate to die for you," the Ghost Servant responded with his head bowed, not daring to lift his eyes to Xiao Mu.
"It's nothing troublesome. Just go to the room on the right and extract a drop of blood from the mortal residing there. Be careful not to disturb him," Xiao Mu instructed casually.
"Yes, Master. Your servant will attend to it at once."
The Ghost Servant said, his body gradually becoming smoke-like. The smoke followed the wall to the right side of the room, seeping through into the next room.
It wasn't long before the Ghost Servant returned, with a drop of crystalline blood, faint with the ancient aura, held in the palm of his hand behind him. He came before Xiao Mu, kneeling on one knee, holding out his hand to present the crystalline blood bead respectfully, "Master, the mortal's blood has been retrieved. Please inspect it."
"You did very well."
Xiao Mu commended his Ghost Servant, and with a gesture of his right hand, the Blood Bead held in the palm of the Ghost Servant automatically flew into his own hand.
Following that, he waved his left hand and collected the Ghost Servant.
As the Dao Method Spiritual Energy was infused into the palm of his right hand, the Blood Bead in Xiao Mu's palm lifted into the air and spun around.
With a thought from Xiao Mu's Divine Sense, a stream of golden-colored Dao Method Spiritual Energy flew out from his palm and directly entered the Blood Bead, merging with it.
The Blood Bead immediately became filled with Spiritual Energy. The energy, like a seed, sprouted within the Blood Bead. Within the bead, the ancient and sacred aura of the bloodline was released instantly and, driven by the Spiritual Energy, began to grow larger.
"Transform!"
Xiao Mu uttered softly and the Blood Bead abruptly mutated.
The ancient and sacred bloodline aura overcame all other auras, as the spherical Blood Bead suddenly expanded and quickly formed a torso, limbs, a head, and hands and feet.
This was a bean-sized human shape, appearing filled with Spirituality and composed entirely of the ancient bloodline aura, vaguely connected with the same bloodline in other locations of this world.
"Go!"
Xiao Mu pointed at the bean-sized human, and it immediately began to fly through the air at a fast speed, heading straight for the Stone Wall on the right side of Xiao Mu's room.
As it passed through the wall, the small figure merged directly with the Stone Wall and went through it.
Seeing this, Xiao Mu's face showed a look of relief, clearly breathing a sigh of relief.
The method of using the Spiritual Energy within the bloodline to refine and locate someone of the same bloodline was a kind of Secret Art within Taoist Law.
However, this method of searching for people had many limitations: firstly, it pertained to the bloodline issue, as it could only find beings of the same bloodline; secondly, there was the issue of distance between Xiao Mu and other beings sharing his bloodline.
This meant that the being with the same bloodline that he was searching for couldn't be too far away; if too distant, the magic would become ineffective, and he wouldn't be able to find the person.
Following the bean-sized human, Xiao Mu's thought moved, and his body suddenly turned to Dust, followed by the Great Decree flying out, a gust of wind carrying the Dust out of the window.
The Dust flew out the window, immediately chasing after the bean-sized human.
The defense of the Putuo Domain Domain Master's residence was quite strict, with Mutated Beings stationed everywhere.
But to these ordinary Mutated Beings, it was obviously impossible to detect the Dust formed by Xiao Mu's Feign Death Technique and the bean-sized human formed from the ancient divine bloodline extracted from Wang Yu's body.
After leaving the Domain Master's residence, the bean-sized human continuously flew in a northwest direction.
Xiao Mu retracted the Feign Death Technique, manifested his own body, deployed his agility, and followed behind the bean-sized human, advancing slowly.
After walking for about three or four hundred Li—roughly over three hours—Xiao Mu, following the bean-sized human, arrived at the front of a dilapidated garden.
After the World Mutation, the Earth grew larger and the geography grew more complex. Many areas that were once prosperous were now in ruins.
The Jinhai Garden, where Xiao Mu was currently located, used to be a thriving area before the World Mutation but is now desolate and uninhabited.
The bean-sized human continuously flew into the garden, and Xiao Mu followed closely behind.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
At this moment, the sound of Escape Art flying came from the far north of the Jinhai Garden, followed by the appearance of Escape Light. The Escape Light was green, indicating at a glance that it was the Wood Escape Technique.
"This..."
Xiao Mu turned his head to look in the direction of the distant green Escape Light to the north. The speed of the green Wood Escape Technique was incredibly fast, clearly indicating that it concealed a Divine Being of the Divine Spirits realm.
However, the distance was somewhat far, and Xiao Mu couldn't immediately distinguish whether the Escape Light was friend or foe. After a brief hesitation, the light moved further away.
"Could it be a Mutated Being from the Life and Death Sect? A powerful being from the Life and Death Sect, hidden in Jinhai Garden all along?"
With his doubts, Xiao Mu then noticed that the bean-sized human had already flown directly into the depths of Jinhai Garden. He promptly stopped speculating and chased after the bean-sized human.
As the bean-sized human continued flying deeper into the Jinhai Garden, after about twenty to thirty Li, a disturbance suddenly came from the front.
From behind a massive Stone Wall, abruptly rising twenty to thirty meters high on the right front side, the voices of two men were heard.
One with a hoarse voice, seemingly in his thirties, snorted discontentedly, "Such arrogance, thinking they are from the Heavenly Court, they can order us around like this?"
