Chapter 1093 Continuing The Breakthrough

Lin Mu gazed at his body that was naturally floating and knew that he had finally managed to fly with his body cultivation.

”I can do it again.” Lin Mu said, a hint of excitement in his voice.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t fly with his body cultivation before, but rather after he had practiced the True Gold Body Forging Arts and assimilated a lot of gold in his body, his weight had made it difficult to fly just with his body cultivation.

Body Cultivators had this one disadvantage as compared to Qi cultivators and it was well known.

In order to fly, just reaching an equivalent of the Nascent soul realm was not enough for Body Cultivators. They would need to be at a higher cultivation base than that to do the same as Nascent soul realm cultivators and fly.

The mechanism of flying was also different for both paths of cultivation.

Qi cultivators absorbed and expelled spirit Qi at the same time, in order to fly. But the body cultivators didn’t do the same.

After all, they used vital essence along with spirit Qi to cultivate. And since they didn’t use their meridians the same way as spirit Qi, they couldn’t fly normally. Instead, they would have to use their vital essence and create a thrust using their aura to fly.

This was harder than just using spirit Qi and thus they would often need a very strong aura to do this.

And Lin Mu had reached exactly that point. 

But it was not that a body cultivator would be slower than a Qi cultivator who could fly. No, they could achieve the same space by simply running around with their legs. Not only that, but they could also leap to great heights and some could directly step on air with their sheer strength to fly!

”Seems like I’ll need to get used to this.” Lin Mu said as his gaze went to the sect in distance. “And I have the perfect target to practice with too…” 

But as much as Lin Mu wanted to go forth and wreak havoc on the Zither Wind Sect with his golden fists, he knew there was still more preparation to do. 

He glanced around at the small hills of spirit stones that were lying around and estimated that there was still enough to push his Qi cultivation further.

”Hmm… perhaps I can do more at once.” Lin Mu thought to himself.

A few ideas passed through his mind before he glanced at Little Shrubby.

”Alright, I have a new idea, Little Shrubby.” Lin Mu suddenly spoke.

”What is it?” Little Shrubby questioned.

”We’ll speed up your process of cultivation. You can continue absorbing the spirit Qi, and I’ll also give you beast Qi at the same time. It should help you from a Dao Embryo sooner, since it is dependent on your bloodline more.” Lin Mu answered.

Little Shrubby had no qualms about it and quickly replied. “Okay~” 

With both parties in agreement, Lin Mu quickly got to work.

He directly pulled several slabs of spirit stones under him and gathered more around him.

~huu~

Taking a deep breath, Lin Mu startled to draw the spirit Qi from the stones at a rapid pace. The spirit Qi rushed through his meridians and settled in his Dantian, where the Dao Shell sucked a part of it.

While doing this, Lin Mu also chanted the Nurturing heart sutra and transformed a part of the spirit Qi he had into beast Qi.

He continued condensing it until it had turned into a thin string of Beast Qi. But he didn’t release it right away, instead letting it float around in his Dantian for now. 

’I’ll have a stock of it ready before giving it to Little Shrubby. That way, my rate of conversion and depletion will be almost equal.’ Lin Mu thought.

And while he was doing this, Little Shrubby also continued to absorb spirit Qi into his Dao shell directly. It was floating above his head and was red in color since the fire elemental spirit Qi had also entered it.

Time continued to pass, and an entire day elapsed.

At a certain moment, Lin Mu opened his eyes and spoke. 

”Get ready, Little Shrubby!” Lin Mu said out loud as he raised his hand.

~grrr~

Little Shrubby growled in excitement and watched as a stream of Beast Qi spread out from Lin Mu’s hand. 

~WHOOSH~

A strong suction force came from Little Shrubby’s body and sucked in the beast Qi stream. But it didn’t stop there as more and more beast Qi kept on pouring out of Lin Mu’s hand.

The spirit Qi from the spirit stones underneath Lin Mu started to fall rapidly and was soon reduced to half. 

With this, a new cycle had formed.

Spirit Qi would enter Lin Mu’s body, where a part would expand his Dao Shell and the rest would convert to Beast Qi and shoot out of his hand, entering Little Shrubby. The beast would in turn, absorb the beast Qi and enrich his bloodline while also expanding his own Dao Shell with the spirit stones.

The rate of consumption of spirit Qi reached a new level and the spirit stones started depleting at a stunning level. Soon, the spirit stones under Lin Mu had turned to dust, but he quickly added more of them.

The same was done with the spirit stones surrounding him as well. Lin Mu had plenty more spirit stones in storage and was ready to finish them all for the breakthrough!

Such a method of cultivation was indeed very rapid, but the cost was something that would literally bankrupt a sect. After all, the spirit stones were basically obtained from spirit stone mines and vaults of the sect.

This was all that a sect owned and was used to nurture hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of disciples at once.

But instead of that, all the spirit stones and resources were being used by merely two individuals!
