Chapter 547 - Sorting Through The Contents
A herb like the Eight Sigils Chrysanthemum would be priceless even in the top sects. Lin Mu had no idea how one of them turned up here. But looking at its condition he could tell that it had been growing for a long time and had been perfectly preserved in a jade box.
"Doesn’t the Flower look a bit different, senior?" Lin Mu questioned.
"Hmm... I guess it does. It has probably been preserved in the box for a long time now and that box is the only thing keeping it alive. Once it dies, its medicinal properties will start to fall as well.
It is one of the spirit flowers that needs to be fresh for them to be useful. That is one of the reasons why they are so hard to find. While they are indeed born in many worlds, finding one that is alive is quite difficult.
Even that box it’s kept in is quite valuable and could be considered as a high grade spirit tool. The formations on it are complex enough to form an array and would probably need a formation grandmaster to inscribe." Xukong answered.
"I see..." Lin Mu said before storing the Eight Sigils Chrysanthemum in the ring.
He had no use for it now and even if he wanted to make use of it, he would need the other ingredients of the Twilight Ascension pill, each of which was quite hard to find. Lin Mu actually knew all of them since he had seen the Lost Immortal use one himself.
It took Lin Mu over six hours to sort through everything before he was done. He then stored the entire vault back in his ring, not knowing what to do with it now. He didn’t leave it here as the vault itself was quite valuable.
"You may as well further progress the mortal strengthening scripture since you have better earth elemental herbs now." Xukong reminded.
Lin Mu remembered it and took out all the earth elemental herbs he had gotten from the herb fields of the Herb peak. He then sat down before stabilizing his condition. Lin Mu checked the pool of earth attribute spirit Qi in his Dantian and saw that it was full.
In the month that he had been in the ring, his body had recovered the spirit Qi that he needed automatically. This was a surprise to him as before he needed to convert the earth attribute spirit Qi on his own manually.
’I guess this is the benefit of having an affinity to the earth element. Just having the technique is enough for it to work automatically after a certain point.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.
Back when he had been struck by the tribulation lightning, the armor made by the Mortal Strengthening Scripture was completely destroyed and all of his earth attribute spirit Qi was drained in one go. That was also the reason why Lin Mu had not sustained as many physical injuries.
If it was anyone else, they would definitely be more than just paralyzed due to the Tribulation lightning bolt.
~huu~
Lin Mu took a deep breath and picked yup one of the earth attribute herbs which was in the form of a thick brown stalk. Lin Mu put it in his mouth and chewed on it. His face cringed at the bitter taste but he clenched his fist and completely ate the herb.
As soon as he swallowed it down, the brown glowing armour around him cracked!
