Chapter 290 - 1800 Drops
It took Lin Mu about an hour to prepare everything and in the end, he simply checked up on Little shrubby before entering his bedroom and sitting down cross-legged. He withdrew one of the many boxes of basic qi pills he had and placed it in front of him.
He then opened the box and popped a basic qi pill into his mouth before starting to chant the severing heart sutra. The spirit qi from the pill entered his meridians and arrived into his dantian. If one looked at Lin Mu’s dantian right now, they could see that half of it was filled with shimmering liquid spirit qi while the other half was filled with floating wisps of spirit qi.
Now with the arrival of the extra spirit qi from the basic qi pill, the dantian was getting saturated. But this is exactly what Lin Mu wanted. He willed the spirit qi wisps in the dantian to enter his meridians and circulate.
The concentration of spirit qi in his meridians suddenly increased, and so did the pressure on them. But for Lin Mu this was barely anything, and he increased the amount again. He steadily kept on drawing from the dantian and the spirit qi from the basic qi pill kept on replenishing it.
This kept a positive outflow of spirit qi into his meridians, which allowed him to refine it faster. The concentration of spirit qi in his meridians kept on increasing more and more until finally a single drop of liquid spirit qi was condensed.
Usually, Lin Mu would have simply guided this drop of spirit qi into the dantian, but that was not what he wanted to do now. His current goal was to break through to the peak stage of the qi refining realm and for that, he knew it would be best to jump in one go.
The more pressure he generated, the easier it would be to overcome the bottleneck. Although the bottleneck between the late stage and peak stage of the qi refining realm wasn’t too tough, it still existed. But this bottleneck was more of a passive one, in that the spirit qi had a higher chance of dissipating instead of being restricted from condensing.
Lin Mu wanted to refine a sufficient amount of liquid spirit qi in his meridians and then directly depositing it in his dantian all at once.
Lin Mu’s focus reached peak, and he immediately guided the stream of liquid spirit qi into the dantian. Usually, the spirit qi would enter the dantian drop by drop, but this time it was as if someone had opened a tap as the stream came rushing in.
~Gush~
The volume of liquid spirit qi within his dantian started rising visibly.
1500 drops
1510 drops
1550 drops
1600 drops
1700 drops
1800 drops
Finally, all the liquid spirit qi that he had refined entered his dantian and with that, a wave was emitted from his body.
As soon as the wave reached the mysterious ring on Lin Mu’s right hand, it started humming too.
