Chapter 557 - Sacred Trials And Little Shrubby Awakens
Silently sneaking into the Ripple Mist Sect, Lin Mu began eavesdropping on the different conversations that were going on between the people.
"Did you hear? Senior sister Bi is going to participate in the sacred trials this time."
"Of course I did! It’s the talk of the sect, even the servants know about it."nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.
"Do you think she will be able to gain fortune from the secret trials?"
"If she can’t then who else can? She’s the only peak core condensation realm cultivator joining the trial this time and is the strongest of all candidates."
"That’s true. Even Core Disciple Tian Jun was at the early stage of the Core commendation realm when he joins date Sacred trials thirty years ago. If he can gain one of the supreme inheritances of our sect, then Senior sister Bi should definitely be successful."
Lin Mu heard the same topic nearly everywhere in the sect. Apparently, the Ripple mist sect had a ’Sacred Ground’ that only opened every ten years. This sacred ground contained the supreme inheritances of the Ripple mist sect and was said to have been set up by their ancestors.
The ripple mist sect had a history of thousands of years and thus they had a lot of time to nurture this sacred ground. It could be said that this was the foundation upon which they erected their sect.
Their best cultivation techniques could be found hidden within the trial ground, along with many other precious herbs that grew within. Any person that got them would be incredibly lucky and would rise up through the ranks if they obtained it.
Still, Lin Mu didn’t mind it much, as it didn’t have anything with him. It was not like he would be able to enter there, anyway. Or rather... he would not want to enter there, as it would mean risking his identity being revealed.
Since the Ripple Mist sect was part of the Zither Wind alliance, there was bound to be someone here that was spying for Gu Yao. Plus, there was a great chance that if he revealed his face, he would be discovered.
So far, Lin Mu had not seen any portraits of him in the sect so he was unsure whether anyone knew what he looked like.
~pat~pat~
Lin Mu pat the head of little Shrubby, which was a lot softer due to the new and long fur that had grown there.
"How do you feel now? Are there any problems in your body?" Lin Mu questioned.
Little Shrubby closed his eyes for a bit before opening, slight confusion present in them.
"I broke through? And I feel different." Little Shrubby spoke.
"Yes, you broke through. You’ve been absorbing the Beast Qi that I’ve been injecting into you." Lin Mu replied.
"Beast Qi?" Little Shrubby questioned.
"Ah, yes you haven’t seen it yet." Lin Mu said. "Let me show you and you can tell me what you feel about it." He added.
While Lin Mu knew about Beast Qi and had seen its effects on Little Shrubby, he would still know better if Little Shrubby himself told him how it felt.
Lin Mu chanted the Nurturing heart sutra, which made Little Shrubby’s ears perk up.
"What is that, master? It’s so... good?" Little Shrubby said, finding the chants pleasant.
Lin Mu lightly nodded his head before completing the chant and refining the Beast Qi string in his Dantian.
"It is one of my abilities that allows me to make Beast Qi." Lin Mu said before drawing out the string of beast Qi from his Dantian.
As soon as little Shrubby saw it, his pupils went wide, fully covering his eyes.
