2111 Healing The Injured Companions And The 11th Form
Daoist Chu and Min Ju were both unconscious, having passed out the moment they had jumped into the teleportation gate. It was likely that they had been pushed to their limits and were probably betting on the teleportation gate, saving them by taking them to another place.
It was a risky choice, but had now worked in their favor, as their companions had found them.
Lin Mu and Lady Kang had quickly finished their assessment of the two, knowing what to do now.
"Here, Frost Warding Pills." Lin Mu quickly took out two pills that were suitable in dealing with damaged cured by Ice elemental immortal Qi. "Help them circulate the energy. I'll prepare the area." Lady Kang took them and put them in the two individuals mouth, before using her Immortal Qi to stimulate the pill to melt down and enter their bodies. ~SHUA~
While she did that, Lin Mu began setting up a formation. He threw out eight formation flags that planted around them in an octagonal pattern before a brush appeared in his hands.
Lady Kang felt strong Dao Traces around her, making her look towards Lin Mu.
'That brush... It's a Dao Embryo.' She recognized and watched Lin Mu draw out hundreds of runes in the air.
~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~
The runes were written at a great speed such that Lin Mu's hand was but just a blur. The runes flew around Lin Mu before being controlled by his Immortal sense and being guided to specific spots in the air. Bit by bit, the runes were assembled into a formation that looked like an inverted dome above the octagonal array made from the formation flags.
~HONG~
"Warming Hemisphere Formation! Octagonal Pagoda Formation!" Lin Mu chanted, having finished the two formations before drawing a single line in the air that connected the inverted dome with the octagon on the ground. "Transform! Warming Pagoda Array!" But he was not done yet, as he called out to someone for help.
"Xiao Yang, I need your Qi." Lin Mu spoke.
~HISS~
In the next moment, the snake responded to his master's call and breathed out a mass of white Qi. Lady Kang could easily identity this to be none other than Pure Yang Elemental Immortal Qi!
~HUALA~
As soon as the Qi appeared, the Warming Pagoda Array rapidly absorbed it and started to glow.
But Lin Mu was sure that it wasn't connecting to the void, but rather something beyond it.
'If it was connecting to the void, I would have known... But it travels past it before leaving the void...' Lin Mu tried to look past it all and track the link down, but his sight could not reach that far.
It became apparent to him that wherever the link went, it was beyond his reach for now.
But it did leave him with many questions, such as the fact that just what kind of skills was Lady Kang even using.
'That link... it was not anything normal... It doesn't seem to be made from Qi, or Dao Traces.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
Unknown to him, Lady Kang had registered his inquisitive look and had also heard his words earlier. Even though they might have been spoken lightly, in a closed and silent place like this, they may as well have been screamed into her ears.
"They are Stellar Dao Insights." Lady Kang spoke, turning to Lin Mu. "I didn't expect you to be able to see them... Even I can't see them yet." "Dao Insights? I've seen those before, but they didn't feel like that," Lin Mu replied. "No, wait... How are you using Dao Insights in the first place?" he asked, finding it unusual.
"Well, the simple answer is I'm not." Lady Kang replied. "The Cultivation Techniques that are rather unique... They draw their power from the Stellar Dao and as such have several exceptions to them that other techniques don't." She explained.
"The Stellar Dao... You mean the power of the stars and constellations..." Lin Mu had heard of it before, though it was in relation to something else. "Isn't that primarily something used by Diviners?" he spoke.
"Just because it is used by diviners doesn't mean that it can't be used for other things." Lady Kang chuckled. "The reason it is used by Diviners is because it is one of the more elusive forms of Dao that is suitable for divining. But if one has the talent for it, one can also use it for other paths." She added.
"Hmm... So you transformed it into a multifaceted cultivation technique." Lin Mu furrowed his brows.
"You could say that," Lady Kang replied before seeing a strange expression on Lin Mu's face. "What is it?"
"Is it fine for you to say this, though?" Lin Mu questioned. "Revealing what it is." "If we are to get through this trial and survive the Inheritance ground, I think it is best we know more about each other's abilities. We need to be able to trust each other." Lady Kang answered. "Besides, it isn't exactly information that has been a secret. If someone is knowledgeable enough, they would be able to figure it out eventually... And you would have been able to do that too. Or at least that's what my hunch says." She stated it as a matter of fact.
Her guess was indeed correct, as Lin Mu would have only needed some more time to look through some documents to verify the facts. And if he still couldn't figure that out, Xukong would probably be able to answer him when he woke up again.
Lin Mu didn't disturb him unless he absolutely needed to these days and let the senior cultivate as he pleased.
Plus, if it was something that aroused Xukong's interest, he would speak up on his own. But for now, it was fine for Lin Mu to do things on his own.
