Chapter 1096 Three Peak Grade Spirit Stone Mine Source Veins

Lin Mu had a hunch that it might be a new Dao Embryo, but hearing the confirmation was still rather shocking to him.

”As far as I know, there are many palm and hand type Dao Embryos in the universe. But I’ve certainly not seen or heard of any that look like this.” Xukong explained.

”I see…” Lin Mu replied as he gazed at the Dao Embryo that was still releasing some aura.

He wondered how long it would take for Little Shrubby to wake up from this. Though he reckoned it shouldn’t be long as once Little shrubby got acclimatized to the Dao Embryo he would awaken.

”Guess I just have to wait a while more.” Lin Mu muttered and decided to do some other things in the mean time.

Peering into his Dantian, Lin Mu could see his own Dao Shell that had reached about two and a half meter size. There was still some spirit stones left, thus Lin Mu decided to continue consuming them for the time being.

Since he didn’t need to convert it into Beast Qi anymore, he could simply absorb it into his Dantian and let his Dao Shell take it all in.

~shua~

The spirit Qi from the spirit stones surrounded him and entered his body. The spirit stones started to crumble at a visible rate and in an hour, Lin Mu had finished off the last of the spirit stones.

~huu~

Letting out a breath, Lin Mu checked his storage and saw that he only had his original spirit stones left and something extra.

”The source veins… I still have three of them left…” Lin Mu muttered.

He had not used the source veins of the peak grade spirit stone mines as he reckoned they would come in handy for something else. Though Lin Mu was also prepared to use them if the normal spirit stones were not enough for his and Little Shrubby’s breakthrough.

But now that he had achieved what he had set out to do so, he could go forth with the secondary options.

”Time to see if the Garden Of Karma will accept more…” Lin Mu muttered before closing his eyes and sleeping.

His vision darkened for a while and when it returned, Lin Mu found himself back in the Garden of Karma.

”Huh?” But upon appearing there, he saw some new things.

”When did the tree grow again?” Lin Mu said upon seeing the spirit apple tree.

It had almost doubled in size, and several more branches had grown on it. The number of apples on it had also increased, and over half of them were already ripened.

~shua~

At this moment, he felt a fluctuation behind him and saw a grey orb of light appearing. And from that orb came out none other than Senior Xukong.

”Looks like the Garden of Karma is nurturing them further. Your breakthrough also grows the Garden of Karma.” Xukong spoke after quickly observing the entire area.

”Mmhmm… though it doesn’t seem like the total size of the Garden itself has increased.” Lin Mu replied.

”That should not be so easy to increase. If it really is a minor dimension of itself, there is a great chance the conditions needed to increase are high. So far, your cultivation base increase has improved it. And now that you broke through in your body cultivation, the quality of the Garden of Karma has improved.” Xukong stated.

Lin Mu thought over it and came to the same conclusion.

”So if we follow that logic, then… my body cultivation improves the state of the Garden of Karma, allowing the plants here grow better. And seeing the past, the increase in my Qi cultivation will increase its total size.” Lin Mu concluded.

”Indeed. This is what we can confirm for now. Though there might be a lot more we don’t know yet.” Xukong chimed in.

”At least it is something.” Lin Mu muttered and looked around.

The Purple Sickle Amaranth had also grown a bit, but not as much as the Spirit Apple Tree. The Wood Spirit Tulip on the other hand, seemed to be the same size.

’Did it really not grow?’ Lin Mu wondered and probed it with his spirit sense.

Soon he got his answer.

”Oh? So it grew its roots rather than its top…” Lin Mu understood.

Walking up to it, Lin Mu didn’t see any other changes in it. Though the Purple Sickle Amaranth had increased the amount of wood elemental spirit Qi it was producing. The increase wasn’t anything big like double, but Lin Mu could estimate it was at least five percent more than before.

This then made him wonder more about the spirit apple tree. While its size had increased, Lin Mu questioned whether the quality of the spirit apples had increased or not.

”Let’s see then, shall we?” Lin Mu muttered and walked up to it.

Plucking one of the apples, he held it in his hand and felt the spirit Qi within. Furrowing his brows, Lin Mu took out another spirit apple that he had plucked a while ago and compared the two.

”Indeed… even the spirit apples have increased in their potency.” Lin Mu discovered that the spirit Qi within the two spirit apples was different and the newer spirit apple had at least twenty percent more spirit Qi within it.

While consuming it might not make much of a difference for Lin Mu, it was still a good difference. After all, Lin Mu could still make use of them in other ways. 

’If nothing else, I can always sell them. Might need them in the future for that.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.

Having learned all this, Lin Mu then decided to go do what he had originally come here to do.

”Let’s see if the Garden Of Karma will accept more spirit stone mine source veins.” He said before taking out the three veins he had in the ring.

~THUD~ THUD~ THUD~

The ground shook lightly as three large chunks of crystal fell onto it.
