Chapter 675 - The Hong Lin Forest
Swords and spears flew around as they decapitated, pierced and killed the Green tailed howler monkeys. In less than five minutes, the entire horde of monkeys was eliminated while Little Shrubby finished up fighting the chief.
He too returned with the corpse of the Green Tailed Howler monkey chief, which was being carried by the prosthetic hands.
"Well... that was quite a bit of action." Lin Mu said upon seeing the hundreds of corpses that littered the forest now.
"This is unusual though. They should not have been active at this time, not to mention attack us like this." Jing Luo commented.
"Indeed, this does not seem like their natural behavior." Lin Mu agreed.
He then looked at all the corpses and didn’t feel like letting them go to waste.
"Little Shrubby, can you pile all the corpses up here?" Lin Mu asked.
~shua~
Little Shrubby didn’t even wait to answer before he started collecting all the corpses. With his speed, only two minutes were needed before all the corpses had been stacked into a pile near Lin Mu.
Lin Mu then simply placed his hand on them and stored them into the ring, leaving only the Chief Howler monkey outside.
"You want its bones, right?" Lin Mu asked.
Lin Mu closed his eyes and sensed the spirit of Qi in the area. After a bit, he could sense a different kind of spirit Qi in addition to the basic attribute less spirit Qi.
"Fire attribute spirit Qi..." Lin Mu muttered as he took a deep breath.
Spirit Qi rushed into his body from all seven of his apertures along with the millions of pores on his body. This spirit Qi had the fire attribute spirit Qi mixed in and thus automatically elicited a new response from his body.
As the fire attribute spirit Qi flowed through his meridians for the first time, they reacted to it and it was a bit uncomfortable for Lin Mu at first. But as he kept on breathing more and more, his meridians started to adapt to it and soon formed a small pool of fire attribute liquid spirit Qi in his Dantian.
The pool was small, containing only ten drops of liquid spirit Qi, but the rate at which Lin Mu had made it was astounding. If it were any other cultivator, it would have taken them several days just to be able to sense the fire attribute spirit Qi in the air if they did not have an affinity with it.
Lin Mu was someone who had the affinity with earth elemental Qi and none of the other elements. But despite that, his speed of absorbing was no less than that of a cultivator who had been cultivating using fire attribute cultivation technique their entire life.
In ten breaths, Lin Mu had expanded the pool of fire attribute spirit Qi to a hundred drops. At this point, something else started to change within his body. His heart suddenly started to heat up as waves of energy started coming off it.
As soon as Lin Mu sensed it, he realized what was happening.
’The five Treasures realm... it’s progressing!’ Lin Mu thought.
Unknown to himself, he had already entered an extremely focused state of cultivation. Jing Luo, who watched the change happening in a matter of minutes, was left with a wry smile.
~Sigh~
"Comparing oneself with geniuses will only hurt our Dao hearts..." Jing Luo shook his head and sat down, deciding to wait till Lin Mu was done with his cultivation.
Little Shrubby joined Lin Mu as well and started to absorb spirit Qi like crazy. To him, who had two beast bloodlines that were of the fire element, it was even faster than Lin Mu!
