Chapter 298 - Planning Ahead
Lin Mu was sitting cross-legged on his bed while Little shrubby snuggled against his back.
He was currently replenishing the liquid spirit qi he had exhausted while using the fourth skill ’Fade’ and was also thinking of what to do next. He had expended twenty drops of spirit qi in two uses of the skill, thus he wanted to regain them as soon as possible so that he could continue his normal cultivation.
Lin Mu popped the basic qi pills into his mouth one after the other as he refined the spirit qi wisps into liquid drops. He then remembered how he had refined a large amount of liquid spirit qi all at once yesterday and was wondering if he should do that.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
It seemed to him that it was a more efficient method of refining liquid spirit qi but it was also quite taxing on his mind and took up a lot of his focus. Doing that had also made him aware of the fact that the longer he refined the liquid spirit qi without storing it in the dantian, the higher his speed would rise.
It was obvious that if not for something like that he would certainly not have been able to refine three hundred drops of liquid spirit qi all at once that too in mere thirty six hours. If it were his usual session, he would have only been able to refine a maximum of fifty drops of liquid spirit qi.
The consumption of basic qi pills in addition to his increase in body tempering cultivation had greatly helped him. But that continuous method of liquid spirit qi also came with its flaws. It simply took a lot of his time and he could not be interrupted in between.
Another hour passed as he found his fourth spirit beast. He killed that one too and hear the sound of something in the distance. Lin Mu guessed that it was either the mercenaries fighting some beasts or just beasts battling amongst themselves.
Lin Mu headed there and found a few ape beasts that were fighting a lizard beast. The apes were smaller than Lin Mu but were at the mid stage qi refining realm. There were about four of them and the lizard beast they were fighting was alone being at the late stage of the qi refining realm.
Lin Mu scanned the area with his spirit qi and did not even bother to hide. To him, these beasts were rather easy and would not take him much of an effort to kill. The five beasts of course detected him when he approached them and got enraged.
The ape beasts bared their fangs at him while the lizard beast simply hissed at him. Lin Mu looked at their conditions and saw them to be relatively fine.
’Looks like they had just started fighting when I interrupted them.’ Lin Mu thought.
Lin Mu used his spirit sense and his short sword came flying out of the scabbard while Lin Mu himself withdrew a spear from the ring. He then commanded the short sword to fly towards the four ape beasts while he himself went to the lizard beast.
The apes were surprised by the flying short sword and jumped around while dodging it. Lin Mu did not mind it, as his main goal was to merely distract the ape beasts and keep them occupied while he killed the lizard beast.
Lin Mu directly blinked to the top of the lizard beast and pierced its skull with the spear. With its brain skewered from the middle, the lizard beast let out a light hiss before dying.
"Now it’s your turn..."
