Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 404 - Back To The Marsh?

Lin Wu watched the sky as the platform tore through it at a sonic speed.

"This… this is significantly faster than it was before!" Lin Wu said.

"Looks like it… and its even heading back to the Dread Coil Marsh it looks like it." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle replied.

"Huh?" Lin Wu was stunned upon hearing this and checked the map. "Oh shit, it really is heading back there." He said.

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle nodded her head and closed her eyes back up. Even if she had finished assimilating the bloodline crystal and had eaten her fill, she would obviously not waste this free time.

Thus, the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle started cultivating, leaving Lin Wu to his thoughts. Lin Wu saw this and shook his head, knowing that the beast was obsessed about her cultivation and bloodline.

"Well then… let's see what things we have gained from the little 'excursion'…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Multiple system windows appeared in front of him that showed various things such as the list of resources he had obtained, the cultivation techniques the system had scanned and the data nodes that were taken from the humans that Lin Wu ate.

There were literally so many entities that had it not been for the system, organizing and filtering them properly, Lin Wu would have been simply lost. He decided to first check the items that he had gotten from everyone.

"Oh wait, where did that stone Jiao Fan used go?" Lin Wu wondered and searched through the list.

"Ah, here it is!" Lin Wu finally spotted it. "Mind expanding Lardite…" 

Lin Wu took out the pale yellow stone from the storage and looked at it. Surprisingly though, there were cracks on it.

"What happened to this?" Lin Wu furrowed his brows and probed the Mind Expanding Lardite with his spirit sense.

Once it entered the Mind Expanding Lardite, Lin Wu felt his spirit sense changing. It was as if it was being cooled down and massaged. It was a stage thing to be feeling from his spirit sense, and he didn't know what to think of it.

"Is this how a Mind Expanding Lardite is supposed to work? But weren't those men suffering when they used this?" Lin Wu was confused.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: The Mind Expanding Lardite has proportionate effects depending on the quality of a person's spirit sense. Those that already have a well refined and strong spirit sense will not suffer from the side effects. 

As long as the Mind Expanding Lardite is not used to the limit, the host will not suffer from any problems either and will have a better effect. The system recommends no more than one hour of use every day.

——

"Oh, no wonder… those people did use it forcibly. But what's up with the crack, did it get damaged?" Lin Wu questioned.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: The Mind Expanding Lardite was damaged due to the forced use of the four people. It has lost a lot of its durability and will eventually be used up. Once all of its qualities are drained, it will shatter into fragments.

——

~Sigh~

"Damn those people. I should have just taken this from the very start…" Lin Wu shook his head.

Still, there was no medicine for regret and Lin Wu could only let go of the past for now. 

"At least I have it now and can take benefit of it." Lin Wu muttered to himself and put the Mind Expanding Lardite aside for the time being.

He looked through the other things and realized that he had obtained a massive amount of spirit stones. There were spirit stones of nearly all grades on the list, from low grade all the way to high grade. 

There were only Peak grade spirit stones missing from the list, but Lin Wu knew that they were unlikely to be found in a place like this. Even the cultivation sects that had spirit stone mines treated them as a strategic resource and seldom used them.

They were one of the essential requirements for making peak grade alchemical pills, formations arrays and peak grade spirit tools. Without peak grade spirit stone, making either of these things would be immensely difficult.

Lin Wu directly sorted them into different folders so that they could be kept for emergencies. He was also thinking of using them for the organization he would eventually be making if he didn't use them before that.

Lin Wu could already absorb spirit Qi at a quite fast rate and unless there was an absolute emergency that needed it, he wouldn't need these spirit stones. He was no longer like before when he needed to steal them from Shirong.

"Shirong… I need to do something about him. While he is no longer necessary for me, letting him go would be a waste as well. Hmm… I need to think of a different solution." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Lin Wu ended up spending two hours like this and finally came up with a solution that might just work. There would be some unknown problems that would occur, but Lin Wu would have to deal with them when they actually came up.

"I guess the next time we meet would be our last… for a long time." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

He pushed these thoughts aside for a now and went back to checking the items that he had gotten. The next window he checked was the ones that were showing the alchemical pills. There were thousands of them with a couple of really valuable pills.

"These seem useful to me…" Lin Wu muttered and took them out.

The first pill was a high grade pill meant for the Nascent Soul realm cultivators called as spirit Qi reservoir pill. Its use was as straightforward as its name. The pill could be filled with spirit Qi of the cultivator and then be swallowed when needed.

In a way, it was like a modifiable spirit stone. The amount of spirit Qi in it could reach a massive amount and it was able to accommodate the entire spirit Qi store of an Adult Soul Stage Nascent Soul realm cultivator!
