Chapter 227 - The Expanded Dantian
These cracks slowly grew bigger, but when they reached a critical value a strong wave of energy would wash over it and mend it. This energy was none other than Lin Mu’s vital energy which had been saturated to a great extent within his body.
This process of mending and repair lasted for many hours during which Lin Mu was running a fever and his body had turned red from the heat. Fine wisps of steam could even be seen rising from his body due to the cold temperature.The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
The expansion of his dantian continued on until when finally, it had reached double its previous size. Lin Mu’s dantian was now large enough to contain three thousand wisps of spirit qi within it.
If other cultivators were to see it, they would be extremely shocked as Lin Mu’s capacity to store spirit qi was now three times that of an average cultivator. In fact, if he were to refine more spirit qi and fill it entirely with liquid spirit qi, his capacity would even contend against that of mid stage core condensation realm cultivators.
Even in the top three sects, there were barely any disciples whose capacity of dantian in the qi refining realm reached two thousand spirit qi wisps, not to mention three thousand. Even fifteen hundred wisps was considered a rarity in the top ten sects.
While it only seemed like Lin Mu’s capacity was only three times that of a similar stage cultivator, it was not so. While it was only three times for now, it would be exponentially more when he reached a higher realm.
Even a hundred spirit qi wisp difference became a huge difference in the long run as it only meant that, that much extra space was present for refinement and compression of spirit qi. The more spirit qi was refined and compressed, the more stable the foundation of a cultivator would be.
"Huh, what... Ah! Heavens! Not Again!" Lin Mu uttered painfully as the hunger attacked him like a beast.
He quickly withdrew the meat from his ring and started eating it. Over the days he had stored plenty of cooked meat in his ring, but even then it was steadily being depleted. Lin Mu had already known that his hunger was increasing more and more, thus he increased the amount of meat he cooked.
It had come to the point where he had already finished half of all the beast corpses he had accumulated till now. Still, something was feeling strange to him. Usually, when he got the rush of hunger, it would immediately start being satiated once he started eating, but that was not happening right now.
Lin Mu ignored it for a bit and continued eating, as he was more bothered by the pain for now. But after a few minutes, he had reached a point where he had already finished the entire beast and yet there was not even one percent of reduction in his hunger.
"Senior! something’s wrong!" Lin Mu shouted out in his mind.
"I know, it seems like there have been a few changes in your body. Quickly check it with your spirit sense your dantian probably expanded even more. And perhaps even the nameless technique of the lost immortal must have had some effect." Xukong suggested.
Lin Mu split his attention with some difficulty and used his sprite sense to observe his body while still continuing to eat. He had already withdrawn the second beast that was cooked beforehand and was already eating eat.
Lin Mu first observed his visceral organs and could not find anything different with them. He even looked at his stomach and scanned it closely, yet could not find any change.
’Huh? It’s not my organs, so is it my dantian?’ Lin Mu thought as he peered deeper.
