Chapter 572 - Disciple Of Jing Wei?
The rain of spirit Qi was gathering all the spirit Qi that existed in the air as of now. The wild man had replenished all the spirit Qi he had used in the battle in less than five minutes of the rain, while Lin Mu was even farther.
Within Lin Mu’s Dantian, one could see the Nascent Soul that was floating in the center. It was bathed in the liquid spirit Qi, which fully covered it. Lin Mu’s Dantian had already been filled to the bring with spirit Qi.
A few brown sections could also be seen which was nothing but the earth elemental spirit Qi which was also part of Lin Mu’s Dantian. His meridians were flowing with spirit Qi as it nourished his entire body.
Fifteen minutes passed like this before the rain of spirit Qi finally stopped. The Wild man had not only replenished his spirit Qi in this time, but he had also increased his own cultivation base by a significant amount.
"His choice in disciples... is much more terrifying than I thought..." the wild man muttered.
No longer was any fury present on his face, and no battle intent could be sensed from him either. It was hard to believe that the man was fighting Lin Mu with his full power just twenty minutes before.
While the spirit Qi rain had been enough to give the wild man an increase in his cultivation base, for Lin Mu it had barely been enough to stabilize his cultivation base. Usually the spirit Qi infusion that happened after a cultivator breaks through to the nascent soul, was so that it could provide the baseline spirit Qi needed to maintain it.
A Nascent soul needed far more spirit Qi to become stable than a spirit core. But this was also an initial cost. As once it became stable, no matter how much spirit Qi a cultivator used up his cultivation base would not regress.
In the realms before the Nascent Soul realm, if a cultivator went below the limit of the cultivation stage, they would need up regressing their cultivation base. One could actually use up all of their spirit Qi in the core and made it collapse, causing them to return to the Qi refining realm.
~Woo~
The fist came to stop just an inch away from the Wild Man’s face, but even that was enough to redden his skin. The compressed air was enough to graze and scratch his skin, making him bleed slightly.
But the Wild man would very well take this kind of damage than the full force impact of that punch. While he had been able to take multiple of these before, one had to know he no longer had any of the defensive treasures on him and his spirit tools had been broken as well.
Even with his recent progress in his cultivation base due to the rain of the spirit Qi, he very well doubted he would be able to endure the power of the punch. And even if he did, he would be quite injured from it with multiple broken bones.
Lin Mu who had stopped mid way, lifted his head and looked the wild man straight in his eyes.
"What did you say?!" Lin Mu asked, anger still visible in his eyes.
"You passed my test! I know you are the disciple of Jing Wei!" The Wild Man repeated.
"How do you know Jing Wei?" Lin Mu questioned, still maintaining his attacking stance.
"He’s my grandfather." The Wild man revealed.
"Grandfather...?" Lin Mu muttered as he looked closer at the Wild Man.
He tried to compare his feature with that of the old man Jing and realized they did seem to be a bit similar.
"Luo’er?" Lin Mu muttered.
