Chapter 373 - Getting Ready For The Tournament
Lin Mu looked at the temple and had a complex expression on his face. From what he could understand, the temple itself wasn’t involved in any way with the Gu Legion or the blood sacrifice. In fact, he was sure that everyone in the temple was unaware of what existed beneath it.
"What are we going to do about the blood sacrifice chamber beneath the temple?" Lin Mu questioned.
"I’ll try to get some formation masters to analyze it. Though I’m afraid that it won’t be easy and will take up to a month. Those formations were set up by at least a nascent soul realm cultivator, so it would be quite difficult for anyone below that level to break it.
I’ll have to call some core condensation realm formation masters for this." Wu Hei answered.
"Alright, I guess there really isn’t much we can do except for waiting." Lin Mu replied. "Inform me when it’s daytime. I’ll spend my time cultivating till then." He added.
"That’s no problem. I’ll inform you as soon as something happens." Wu Hei assured.
Lin Mu then bid Wu Hei farewell before heading back to the courtyard. On the way, he did see more people coming to the city and among them, there was a core condensation realm cultivator too. Lin Mu hadn’t totally probed the person, so as to not offend them.
But he was sure that this was one of the participants in the tournament. He looked at the symbol that was carved on the carriage he was sitting in and found it to be a bit unfamiliar. He jogged his memory and realized that it was none other than the Autumn Valley sect.
Lin Mu spent the few short days cultivating just like this, and time passed quickly. The day of the tournament finally came, and he was awakened by the servant knocking on the door.
"Master, Lord Wu Hei has called for you at the Manor." The servant spoke from outside the door.
Lin Mu who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes as they glowed with a faint light.
~Huu~
He let out a strong breath that ruffled the curtains on the other end of the room. He had just exceeded 2500 drops of spirit qi and was happy with his progress. He had used the same method he had used before, which was to continuously refine spirit qi till a large amount was accumulated.
Lin Mu was only able to do that twice during these four days, yet it was enough to give him more than 300 drops of liquid spirit qi. He had already finished it last night and had spent the rest of the time calming and relaxing his mind, making sure that it was in tip-top condition.
"I’m coming," Lin Mu simply spoke.
He then changed his clothes and ensured that he had everything ready. Finally, he took out a few pill bottles from his ring. These were the pills that Duan Ke had given him, and they were used for helping the cultivator during a fight.
Lin Mu did not eat them but just checked them as he wanted to be ready if anything problematic happened. There was one pill though that he still wanted to take though. It was none other than the Earthen Qi pill that he had received a while ago from Duan Ke.
It could form a defensive armor on the cultivator’s body that would last for up to 12 hours and could bear one attack of a core condensation realm cultivator.
