Chapter 480 - Unexpected Progress
Lin Mu saw that while the Dark soil pill was still not fully absorbed, and the mortal strengthening scripture had reached the fourth stage, his spleen had actually gotten more refined as well.
This was unexpected to him as it was not a minor increase either, it was about 75% refined while previously it was at 50%. Just a single pill had helped him increase it greatly which was shocking and it had not stopped increasing either.nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.
Lin Mu estimated that the pill still had about thirty percent of its efficacy left and thus kept on absorbing more and more of it. The effect of it was apparent and the refinement of his spleen sped up.
But while this was happening Lin Mu was wondering how it was happening. This was not possible due to the mortal strengthening scripture as it was not this efficient. And neither did he had a technique for body cultivation.
"How can this be possible Senior?" Lin Mu questioned.
"I... don’t know either." Xukong said before turning to look at the altar in the center of the ring.
He thought that it was the altar’s doing but it seemed to be calm and no change could be seen in it.
’If not you then what? He’s not even using vital essence for refinement.’ Xukong wondered.
"Just keep on doing what you’re doing. If this is happening them you better take advantage of it. Use up all the earth elemental spirit Qi you have stored if it still continues." Xukong advised.
"Yes senior!" Lin Mu said before cutting off the connection and stilling his mind.
All that existed for him was his body and the spirit Qi in it.
Time passed and it was nighttime now.
~knock~
A knock was heard on the door of the library but no one answered it. Outside the library, a woman who was wearing a veil was standing. Along with her, another younger woman was standing as well.
"I’ll leave now. Make sure not to disturb him. Also, do you need more payment for him staying here?" Hei Wan asked.
"No!No! Senior already paid enough. Even if he stays here for a year it still won’t be enough. It’s not like this is a proper hotel or inn anyway." Tongguo Bing replied.
"Alright then. I’ll take my leave for now." Hei Wan said before leaving the building.
After she went out though, she took out a communication jade slip and contacted someone.
"How is he? What was the problem?" Wu Hei questioned.
"He’s having... another breakthrough..." Hei Wan answered.
"Another breakthrough?! He’s at the peak stage of the core condensation realm!" Wu Hei exclaimed.
"No! It does not seem like that. Rather it is some kind of Qi technique’s breakthrough; his aura is monstrous right now. I could barely look for a second with my spirit sense before I had to withdraw it." Hei Wan explained.
"Hmm... that’s better. If it really was a breakthrough, the heavenly tribulation would have altered every sect and power in the area and there is no doubt that Gu Yao would have detected it too." Wu Hei spoke.
"Indeed. I think the tremors today were related to that too. They may have been caused by him." Hei Wan replied.
"I see. Return to your post for now. It’s better you are not seen there, the king’s men are surveying the area and would probably come to check up on the mercenary union too." Wu Hei suggested.
"Yes, my lord..." Hei Wan said before leaving the area.
Back at one of the places that were near the grand palace of the Shuang Qian kingdom, two men dressed in luxurious clothes were sitting.
"Did you find out about the tremors?" The older man questioned.
"No father... whatever it was, it is likely to be something new. Or maybe a one time phenomena." Wu Hei answered.
"Hmm... I’ll inform elder brother. Just in case." Wu Xun spoke.
