Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 298 - Planning Ahead

Lin Mu was sitting cross-legged on his bed while Little shrubby snuggled against his back.

He was currently replenishing the liquid spirit qi he had exhausted while using the fourth skill ʼFadeʼ and was also thinking of what to do next. He had expended twenty drops of spirit qi in two uses of the skill, thus he wanted to regain them as soon as possible so that he could continue his normal cultivation.

Lin Mu popped the basic qi pills into his mouth one after the other as he refined the spirit qi wisps into liquid drops. He then remembered how he had refined a large amount of liquid spirit qi all at once yesterday and was wondering if he should do that.

It seemed to him that it was a more efficient method of refining liquid spirit qi but it was also quite taxing on his mind and took up a lot of his focus. Doing that had also made him aware of the fact that the longer he refined the liquid spirit qi without storing it in the dantian, the higher his speed would rise.

It was obvious that if not for something like that he would certainly not have been able to refine three hundred drops of liquid spirit qi all at once that too in mere thirty six hours. If it were his usual session, he would have only been able to refine a maximum of fifty drops of liquid spirit qi.

The consumption of basic qi pills in addition to his increase in body tempering cultivation had greatly helped him. But that continuous method of liquid spirit qi also came with its flaws. It simply took a lot of his time and he could not be interrupted in between.

If he was disturbed, he could do nothing but end it right there and store the refined liquid spirit qi into the dantian. Lin Mu also could not repeat the same thing again as he had a few things to do every day and thus could not enter seclusion like before.

A few hours passed and Lin Mu had fully replenished the twenty liquid spirit qi drops that he had used up. Lin Mu opened his eyes and let out a sigh.

~Sigh~

”I now need to focus on the nameless technique of the lost immortal and make sure that I reach the required level. Though I still have about four more months till the Great slumber bear would start recovering. Hmm… I think Iʼll use the majority of the liquid spirit qi that I refine every day to practice the nameless technique of the lost immortal.

I am already at a sufficiently strong cultivation base and need to gain the bloodline first. After that is done, I should have no problem reaching the core condensation realm with all the pills that I have with me now. These should easily last me for more than a year.” Lin Mu thought out loud.

Lin Mu then stood up, making little shrubby move to the side as it had no support from his back. The beast did not even react though and simply continued sleeping soundly.

ʼI need to go hunt some beasts. Even if Hei Wan will be getting me the beast meat, it will still take a weekʼs time before I get the reply from the lord and actually obtaining it will perhaps take even longer. I canʼt waste this week of time. Iʼll just hunt beasts and use them for the technique.ʼ Lin Mu thought to himself as he walked out of the room.

An hour later Lin Mu was in the Northern forest tracking down some spirit beasts that he had seen. While in the forest Lin Mu was able to come across some spirit beasts but they were already being targeted by some mercenaries thus he had to give up on them.

The mercenaries however were willing to share it with Lin Mu when they recognized who he was. Lin Mu kiddingly rejected their offer as he knew the beast would not even satisfy him for one meal. He just decided to continue on deeper into the forest.

Another hour passed as he found his fourth spirit beast. He killed that one too and hear the sound of something in the distance. Lin Mu guessed that it was either the mercenaries fighting some beasts or just beasts battling amongst themselves.

Lin Mu headed there and found a few ape beasts that were fighting a lizard beast. The apes were smaller than Lin Mu but were at the mid stage qi refining realm. There were about four of them and the lizard beast they were fighting was alone being at the late stage of the qi refining realm.

Lin Mu scanned the area with his spirit qi and did not even bother to hide. To him, these beasts were rather easy and would not take him much of an effort to kill. The five beasts of course detected him when he approached them and got enraged.

The ape beasts bared their fangs at him while the lizard beast simply hissed at him. Lin Mu looked at their conditions and saw them to be relatively fine.

ʼLooks like they had just started fighting when I interrupted them.ʼ Lin Mu thought.

Lin Mu used his spirit sense and his short sword came flying out of the scabbard while Lin Mu himself withdrew a spear from the ring. He then commanded the short sword to fly towards the four ape beasts while he himself went to the lizard beast.

The apes were surprised by the flying short sword and jumped around while dodging it. Lin Mu did not mind it, as his main goal was to merely distract the ape beasts and keep them occupied while he killed the lizard beast.

Lin Mu directly blinked to the top of the lizard beast and pierced its skull with the spear. With its brain skewered from the middle, the lizard beast let out a light hiss before dying.

”Now itʼs your turn…”
