Chapter 436 - Mortal Strengthening Scripture
Lin Mu was now excited to learn the new technique and also wanted to see its effects. But there were also some questions that he had.
"Senior, if it requires a lot of resources will I be able to cultivate it right now?" Lin Mu questioned.
"The first two stages shouldn’t be much of a problem, as all you need is spirit Qi for them. The ones after that need earth attribute herbs to progress it. The good thing about the technique is that it has no specific requirement for the herbs and any would work.
No matter how low quality they are they can still be used, the only problem would be that they would need an even greater quantity to compensate for the quality." Xukong answered.
"Ah, I understand senior." Lin Mu responded.
"Now then, I’ll transfer the technique to your mind," Xukong said.nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.
Lin Mu nodded his head and felt a slight prick in his mind. It lasted for a couple of seconds before new knowledge appeared in his memories.
"So this is the Mortal Strengthening scripture..." Lin Mu muttered to himself.
The overall method of practicing the technique was rather simple. The technique would convert his spirit Qi into earth element spirit Qi and then use that to strengthen his skin. There were five stages to this skill, and each level increased the defensive ability exponentially.
"This should be enough for now. On to the next step now..." Lin Mu muttered before closing his eyes again.
The earth attribute spirit Qi flowed out from his Dantian and reached his arms first. There it seeped out of his skin and started covering it in a thin layer. Little by little, it spread from his arms to his shoulders and then onto his back, from there it finally reached his legs.
Now his entire body leaving his head was covered in a thin brown layer that looked like mud. Lin Mu continued pouring more earth attribute spirit Qi into it, and the layer started to get thicker. When the layer reached a thickness of one centimeter, a wave of spirit Qi was released from his body and his skin glowed for a few seconds before calming down.
The brown layer that was covering his skin disappeared, and Lin Mu opened his eyes. He looked at his arms and wondered if it was successful. According to the technique, he should have completed the first stage now.
"You should test it out," Xukong suggested.
"Yes senior, I’ll try." Lin Mu said before looking for Little Shrubby.
Little shrubby had become bored while Lin Mu was practicing and had gotten a beast to eat till then. It had already set up a small camp fire and was grilling the meat on it. He was even using his own claws as skewers, unafraid of the fire.
"When did he get this?" Lin Mu wondered and called out. "Little Shrubby, come help me."
The beast looked at Lin Mu and stuffed the meat he was grilling on its claws into its mouth, before going towards Lin Mu.
"What do you need help with Master?" He asked.
"I need to test out a new technique, so I want you to attack me."
