Looking at the simple key, Lin Mu found it a bit suspicious.

'A bit too simple…' Lin Mu thought as there were basically no Immortal Qi fluctuations coming from it at all.

Lin Mu made contact with the key with his Immortal sense and learned another thing about it.

"It really is a simple iron key." Lin Mu muttered.
