Chapter 556 - Practice And Adapting

"He should wake up soon now, right?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Hmm... seems like it. Though with the changes that happen we can’t be fully sure." Xukong replied.

~Sigh~

"I guess we just wait and watch." Lin Mu said before cultivating.

He had to replenish the spirit Qi he used up and also sleep for a bit as he needed to practice in the Sleepscape as well. After a few hours, he had fully replenished his spirit Qi and Lin Mu appeared in the Sleepscape.

There he saw the spirit apple tree, which was covered with twenty spirit apples.

"Huh, the number of them growing at once increased again..." Lin Mu said upon seeing the tree.

He thus went to the tree and plucked the spirit apples before storing them in the ring. Lin Mu himself had little use for the spirit apples, as his recovery was much faster than eating one of them.

Even now he did not understand why there was this tree growing in the Sleepscape. Still, he didn’t mind it as he could sell its fruits for money when he needed it and it gave a pleasant look to the otherwise plain Sleepscape as well.

Lin Mu then took out the new spirit weapons he had gotten from the Tri Cauldron Peony sect and started to practice the Thousand Armament Blade Scripture with them. Over time, Lin Mu had already completed the routines of each weapon that was described in the scripture.

The next step for him was to now assimilate them into his swordsmanship. The use of the Thousand Armament blade scripture was that so the person learning it would know multiple weapons described in it, and would be able to apply their essence into the swordplay.

It was a complex technique that even Xukong was a bit impressed by. Lin Mu had been practicing this manual ever since he got it and still was at its second step.

~shua~

~zing~

~Huala~

Swords, spears, axes, halberds, sabers flew as Lin Mu practiced the manual. He could now sense the places where he was lacking in and understood where he needed to improve. Rapidly switching between the weapons, Lin Mu let his body flow like water.

He no longer thought and only let his body do the work. The moves were ingrained into his muscles and needed little to be executed. He was deep in focus and had let go of everything else in his mind.

Lin Mu spent the rest of the night in this and only stopped when he felt like it was morning.

~Humm~

The spirit weapons hummed as Lin Mu slashed out one last time, this time creating a faint outline in the air that traveled for a meter before disappearing. The most surprising thing was the fact that no spirit of Qi had been used in this.

Yet if someone were to come in front of that outline, they would undoubtedly be chopped into two.

~huu~

Lin Mu let out a breath as sheathed the weapons before storing them all in the ring.

’The weapons from the Tri Cauldron peony sect, while a bit inferior to the sword and spear I use, are still better than the old weapons I used.’ Lin Mu thought.

Having thought of this, Lin Mu willed it and returned his consciousness to his body. He opened his eyes and saw Little Shrubby gently sleeping in front of him. His aura had become stronger again and his heartbeat was stronger as well.

"He should wake up today I think." Lin Mu estimated.

He then left the cave and went to the location of the two snakes. Upon reaching there Lin Mu saw that only the Fire Fang Snake was currently present there, while the Black water snake was nowhere to be seen.

’Did it go out to hunt?’ Lin Mu wondered.

~hiss~

The Fire Fang Snake sensed Lin Mu’s presence and woke up. Confirming that it really was him, she let out a content hiss while looking at him intently.

"Where’s your mate?" Lin Mu questioned.

But the Fire Fang Snake gave no response, just staring at him intently without blinking.

~Sigh~

"Seems like talking with them is still no use..." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

He checked the condition of the Fire Fang Snake with his spirit sense and saw that its cultivation base had improved times again. In fact, he reckoned it should reach the Pseudo Nascent Soul realm soon.

"Let’s see the effect this time..." Lin Mu said before chanting the nurturing heart sutra and refining the string of Beast Qi.

In this attempt, it took Lin Mu less time to refine the Beast Qi than before. It was evident that he was getting proficient in the use of the Nurturing Heart Sutra.

~shua~

The String of Beast Qi came floating out of Lin Mu’s body as he flicked it towards the Fire Fang Snake, who quickly consumed it with pleasure. It almost looked like she had a smile on her face while she absorbed the Beast Qi.

Lin Mu also noticed that the spirit Qi fluctuations that occurred after consuming the Beast Qi reduced for her.

’Seems like her body has gotten used to the Beast Qi as well and the bloodline is adapting to it.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.

He observed the snake for a bit while also replenishing the spirit Qi.

"I should take a look at the sect. Need to have information about the recent events, just in case. Besides me using the Beast Qi caused the beasts to create an uproar, there are bound to be people from the sect who must have noticed it." Lin Mu said.

"Yeah, you should do that. Better to be safe than sorry." Xukong agreed.

Lin Mu nodded his head and flew toward the sect after changing into the robes of a Ripple Mist Sect disciple. He had changed back into his normal robes when he came back from the sect last time, as he didn’t want to damage them while he was in the forest.
