Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 546 - Restriction And Resources

Lin Mu continued observing Little Shrubby and saw that his condition was slowly getting better. The convulsions had reduced and only some muscle twitches could be seen now from time to time.

Lin Mu waited there for over three days before the changes in Little Shrubby finally stopped, even though he was still asleep. By now his body had healed and the color of his fur had a glossy sheen again.

Even his aura seemed to be a bit more powerful than before.

Lin Mu had also restored the spirit Qi in his Dantian and had taken this time to normalize his own body and meridians. He needed to see if his spirit Qi was hampered by anything or not.

Finding that except for his core being cracked, there wasnʼt any problem for him.

”You will need to watch out for your spirit Qi consumption though.” Xukong suddenly spoke.

”What do you mean, senior?” Lin Mu questioned.

”You use the spirit Qi from the spirit Qi sea in you Dantian most of the time and donʼt depend on the spirit Qi in your core as your capacity is high. But for others, their spirit Qi sea is depleted quickly and they primarily depend on their cores.

Cores have a much higher storage of spirit Qi in them due to being condensed into a solid form. But this also determines the cultivation base of the cultivator. So you should know what would happen if they use up too much spirit Qi.” Xukong replied.

”Yeah, their cultivation base would regress and they would fall back one stage.” Lin Mu answered.

”Correct. But in your case, you canʼt let it get to the level where your cultivation base is about to regress. Otherʼs core will shrink in size when it has been deprived of Qi, but yours is cracked.

If you do the same, instead of simply shrinking in size, your core will directly explode due to becoming unstable. A core explosion is quite deadly and not many survive it. And even those that survive it, become crippled.” Xukong explained.

Lin Mu didnʼt know that there would be a restriction like this on him. But he didnʼt really mind it, as reaching that point would be quite difficult. Lin Muʼs Dantian already had a large capacity for spirit Qi and his core had over six times that capacity.

Unless it was some extreme situation, Lin Mu doubted he would even be able to deplete that much spirit Qi at once. Not to mention before reaching that point he had a lot of resources like spirit stones and basic Qi pills that he could easily use to restore his spirit Qi.

Thinking of the resources made Lin Mu realize that he now had a lot of resources taken from the Tri Cauldron Peony Sect. He quickly peered into his ring and went through them, one by one. There were many herbs, pills, manuals, natural treasures, spirit stones, weapons and such in the ring. Along with a large vault that was still lying there, locked.

”Ah, I still need to unlock it.” Lin Mu remembered.

Seeing as Little Shrubby had still not woken up, Lin Mu decided to take care of the vault for now. He definitely couldnʼt do it in the cave as the area was simply too small, thus he first carved out the cave to make it big enough.

About an hour later, Lin Mu had expanded the cave to become over ten times the size it was before. The rocky walls were easy to chop with the spirit swords and transporting them was even easier, as Lin Mu could simply store them in the ring.

Once a large enough area was constructed, Lin Mu placed the vault on the ground. The ground cracked and trembled because of the weight of the vault, but it soon settled down. Lin Mu got to unraveling the formations of the vault and took his sweet time in doing so.

He had chosen to take this opportunity to learn a bit about the formations, as well. Plus, now that he actually had resources that could help him in constructing formations, he may actually be able to use them more.

He even had access to manuals, which contained information about various formations. Lin Mu ended up taking an entire day before he finally opened the vault. When it opened though, Lin Mu felt a wave of spirit Qi coming from it.

The spirit Qi was dense enough that it had turned into a visible mist. The mist obscured the items within the vault and made it hard to see.

~HUU~

Lin Mu took a deep breath and sucked all the mist into his body, clearing it out. Once the mist was gone, Lin Mu was left to gaze at the various treasures that were left in the vault.

Unlike the other vaults, though, the number of items here was quite less, but the quality was top notch. Many of the items were things that even the top sects would desire.

”Isnʼt this… an Eight Sigils Chrysanthemum?” Lin Mu said in astonishment.

The Eight Sigils Chrysanthemum had eight petals and each petal had a sigil on it. From these petals, streams of spirit qi were being released. They would leave one petal and enter the next after spreading a bit. This way they bounced eight times before returning to the first petal.

A unique pattern was thus formed that had a mesmerizing property. Looking at the flower, Lin Mu felt as if he was being hypnotized. He chanted the severing heart sutra and dispelled the effect of the flower.

”Truly marvelous…” Lin Mu muttered.

”I didnʼt expect that there would be an Eight Sigils Chrysanthemum here… these are rare even in the higher worlds.” Xukong spoke.

Lin Mu nodded his head as he had known about this too. He had actually learned about it from the Lost immortalʼs Memoirs.

The use of this Eight Sigils Chrysanthemum was quite important in the refinement of a pill called Twilight Ascension Pill.

It was peak grade pill that could assist a Dao Treading Realm cultivator to break through into the Immortal Ascension Realm!
