Chapter 554 - Injecting The Beast Qi
Lin Mu’s neck turned as he looked at the source of the sound.
~Hiss~
A black-blue snake looked at Lin Mu with a fierce gaze, as if warning that he should not approach the Fire Fang Snake.
"Hang on there, little guy. I got something for you two." Lin Mu said, unsure whether the beasts will even understand him or not.
Little Shrubby could, because he had eaten the Dual Circle Ascension fruits, stayed with him a lot, and had the link with him. But these two beasts were at the core condensation realm like little Shrubby, so their overall intelligence should be still better than average Qi refining realm beasts.
"They may not understand your words but they should understand the tone of your voice and your intentions. Beasts have sharp instincts, as long as you don’t show any maleficence, they should still be fine.
Especially since the Fire fang Snake is about to lay eggs, they will try to avoid conflict." Xukong said.
"I understand senior." Lin Mu said and thought of something.
He had one of the best things with him, if he wanted to show that he meant no harm. Lin Mu gave a little smile before chanting the calming heart sutra. His body’s aura immediately toned down, and the Black Water Snake observed him carefully.
While it had not dropped his guard, the snake was at least a little less tense.
In the cave, Lin Mu chanted the Nurturing Heart sutra once again and created another string of Beast Qi. This time it was for Little Shrubby, as he had already assimilated the previous one that Lin Mu had given.
Lin Mu knew that while Beast Qi was quite valuable, if one wanted to evolve the bloodline of a beast, a large quantity was still needed.
"Let’s see what happens now..." Lin Mu said as he placed his hands on Little Shrubby’s body and injected the string of Beast Qi.
~Tremble~
Little Shrubby’s body trembled a little bit on the ground but there were no abrupt and violent convulsive reactions like before. It seemed like his body had adapted to the Beast Qi and the bloodline had taken a step forward in progress.
Even the color of his fur had become more vibrant, and his aura had stabilized as well. Lin Mu could tell that if before Little Shrubby was asleep due to overtaxing his bloodline, now it was asleep because his bloodline was progressing.
Lin Mu could feel the strong yet hidden heartbeats of Little Shrubby, along with the heat that emanated from him. His claws would occasionally extend and retract while glowing.
"Oh, gonna have to stay away from there, or he’ll burn my robes when I’m cultivating..." Lin Mu muttered to himself.
The heat of Little Shrubby’s claws was strong enough that it needed no contact to burn stuff. Anything that was within one meter would be ignited just by being in their presence. And this was only when they were glowing and not fully ignited.
~huu~
Lin Mu took a deep breath and sat down to replenish his spirit Qi. He had used the Nurturing heart sutra twice and had used up most of his spirit Qi in his Dantian’s spirit Qi sea. He barely had ten percent left now.
"It will take a little trial and error... but we will get there..." Lin Mu muttered to himself.
