Chapter 478 - The Dark Soil Pill Is Ready
Now that he had ordered the pill, Lin Mu just returned back to the library. There wasn’t much left for him to do other than to wait. He couldn’t progress his cultivation and he couldn’t practice the mortal strengthen scripture either.
"Hmm... may as well try to further my five treasures realm cultivation, even if it is slow it’ll be fine. A drop will eventually turn into a pond and then into a sea." Lin Mu muttered to himself.
Currently, his spleen had reached the fifty percent mark due to the large number of earth elemental herbs and pills he had consumed. This was not the intendant method of cultivation for the five treasures realm, but this was all he had.
Originally the five treasures realm could be cultivated with vital essence but because Lin Mu lacked the specific technique he was using the inefficient method of using spirit Qi to convert into the elemental spirit Qi and then use that to refine the related organ.
This was a long winded and inefficient process, but this was all he could do for now.
’Perhaps I can get some ideas from the lost immortal’s memoirs....’ Lin Mu thought and started reading them.
Back in the ring, Xukong was observing Lin Mu while thinking about some things.
"He’s going to need a proper body cultivation technique soon, if he wants to progress it. But finding it in this world seems close to impossible. ~Sigh~ I should have paid more attention and collected techniques in the past." Xukong muttered to himself.
He then looked back at the altar in the center of the ring and thought a bit more.
Finally on the tenth day, as it had been promised, he was contacted by the shopkeeper and asked to collect his commissioned Dark Soil pill.
"Let’s get it quickly, Wu Hei should also be done on his end soon." Lin Mu said to himself before leaving the library.
Tongguo Bing noticed Lin Mu leaving the building but did not question him this time. She had learned that he was a rather reserved person except for his monstrous appetite and did not speak much.
Lin Mu directly entered the ground using phase and rushed to the shop. In less than two minutes, he was already at the shop and popped back up in a secluded area.
"Senior Wu Lian! You’re here already? That was fast..." The Shopkeeper said upon seeing Lin Mu at the door.
He had just contacted Lin Mu and here was already here, which was rather quick.
"I was just nearby, so it didn’t take me long." Lin Mu said, giving an excuse.
"That’s good. Well, here is your Dark Soil pill." The shopkeeper said as he placed a box in front of Lin Mu.
The box was small, only the size of a palm, but Lin Mu could see the preservative formation that was carved on it. He opened it and saw the pill lying in a small crystal vial. The pill looked like it was made out of a hollow glass in which small particles of dark black soil were filled in.
Lin Mu slightly shook the vial and did not see the soil like particles move. This was how one was supposed to check the quality of the dark soil pill. If the particles of the soil moved, it meant that the pill was of a low potency and was not fully refined. But if it was packed to the brim, the particles would not move.
"Everything seems alright," Lin Mu said before leaving the shop and hurrying back to the library. This time he just used fade and returned.
