Chapter 192 - The Spirit Qi In The Courtyard
’So she does have a spatial storage treasure as well.’ Lin Mu thought to himself as he continued walking behind Duan Ke.
Along the way, Lin Mu kept on smelling the sweet fragrance of the flowers. It was the first thing that he had felt upon opening the portal to this courtyard and was still smelling it. The fragrance was calming and helped him feel a bit relaxed.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
Lin Mu could only imagine how stressed Duan Ke must have been, considering she had access to a relaxing place such as this. Not only this, but Lin Mu could even feel the faint spirit qi in the air. While it was still faint, he could sense it very well.
It was different from the other places. The concentration of the spirit qi was higher than the real world, and it was easy for him to sense it as well. Even without using his spirit sense or the severing heart sutra, Lin Mu could sense it.
In fact, he felt as if he could even absorb the spirit qi straight from the air. Feeling curious, he tried that very thing.
~Whirl~
The sound of wind blowing was heard, and Duan Ke abruptly halted. She knew that wind never blew in the courtyard unless the formation array artificially did that. But looking at the status of the formation array, no such thing had been triggered, which made her think of only one thing.
She immediately turned around and saw the wind swirling around Lin Mu. She could clearly sense the wisps of spirit qi in the wind as they were absorbed by Lin Mu. This was already surprising to her, but with the ease that Lin Mu was absorbing the spirit qi only made her more shocked.
Duan Ke knew this courtyard inside out and knew of every formation array that was placed on it. There were in fact around a hundred formation arrays placed in this courtyard, which were in turn composed of many more individual formations.
"Huh? Is there a problem?" Lin Mu questioned feeling confused.
"Yes, there is a problem. You can’t just absorb the spirit qi here without our permission." Duan Ke answered, feeling slightly angered.
"Oh, I’m sorry. I should have consulted you before." Lin Mu apologized immediately.
~Humph~
Duan Ke harrumphed before speaking, "Don’t do it again," and then turned around to continue walking.
Lin Mu rubbed the back of his head in helplessness and followed behind her. Along the way, he got a closer look at the flowers that were planted in the gardens. He could now tell that the fragrance was actually coming from these flowers and he could even sense something else.
Lin Mu extended his spirit sense and observed the flowers with them. But when he did, he was surprised to find them filled with dense spirit qi.
"These are... spirit flowers?" Lin Mu muttered to himself.
"Yes, they are indeed spirit flowers and looking at their numbers it’s an entire garden of them," Xukong spoke in agreement.
Lin Mu was amazed at them, as this was the first time he had seen them. The only other thing that he had seen that was rich in spirit qi like this was the purple grape sized fruit he had eaten in the past. Still, the density of spirit qi in that fruit was unknown to him as he did not have spirit sense back then. He could only estimate that it was perhaps on the same level.
Eventually, both of them reached the entrance of the large mansion where an old man was standing.
