Chapter 1955 Evergreen Pillars Forest
The Evergreen Pillar Bamboo was a native plant, and as such, it thrived well here. So much so that Lin Mu could sense the steady flow of Wood Element within it.
'Guess this much is expected.' Lin Mu thought before discovering something else. "Wait… This flow… it goes into the ground?" He narrowed his eyes.
~shua~
Lin Mu's immortal sense entered the ground and followed along the roots of the Eternal Pillar Bamboo. He could observe the roots spreading everywhere and even linking with the other bamboos.
'So that's why the flow is so rich and steady… All the bamboos are linked.' Lin Mu discovered.
It was an interesting finding, as it basically meant that all the bamboos were essentially a single organism!
"No wonder it has taken up the entirety of the area. It is dominated by a single plant in the end." Lin Mu muttered to himself, wondering how strong could one consider the cultivation base.
He tried to sense any cultivation base from the bamboo but could not do so.
"They are certainly not following the conventional cultivation system." Lin Mu confirmed.
At the very least, Lin Mu could not tell if the Bamboos would be able to fight back if they were attacked.
They didn't show any higher instincts, and the flow of Qi within them was also constant which was a characteristic of immortal plants. Whereas, most animals would have a dynamic Qi flow that would change according to their bodies.
But in all this, Lin Mu did learn something else.
'Since all the bamboos are essentially the same, and have the same Qi signature… Sensing other beings here is actually difficult.' Lin Mu realized that he could have made a big mistake in the future. "And here I thought, I had sensed everything here…" He muttered in surprise.
The Evergreen Pillar Bamboos were spread in a large area, and since they had a steady flow, it was basically acting as a mask for the beings inside it. If there were beasts or other beings, their immortal Qi fluctuations would be masked by the bamboo.
"I'll always be alert!" Little Shrubby said with confidence.
"Though this also works in our favor. It just means the other beasts will also have a hard time sensing us through immortal sense." Lin Mu stated. "And hiding our scent won't be that hard." He said, taking out a Talisman.
It was one of the talisman that Shuijing Mingzhu had made for him.
"Never thought it would come in handy this fast." Lin Mu said before putting it on his body.
~Huala~
The Talisman glowed lightly, before merging into his body.
This was a Scent Masking Talisman and was mostly used to prevent beasts from sensing the cultivators. However, a majority of cultivators using it were at the First Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm or lower. It didn't make sense to use it in most cases, as the beasts could simply sense them with their Immortal Sense.
But the unique characteristics of the Evergreen Bamboo Forest made it so that the Scent Masking Talisman was the perfect fit.
"Let's see… this should last a week before its effect wears out." Lin Mu estimated. "Though if I'm in combat and use too much Immortal Qi, it'll wear off faster." He analyzed the effectiveness of the talisman.
It was still decent and he had several talismans.
Shuijing Mingzhu had clearly gone out in making them as she had handed Lin Mu over two hundred talismans of many types.
With them as a preventive option, Lin Mu hoped that he would be able to cultivate here in an undisturbed manner for the most part.
"We can now go further in." Lin Mu spoke and the two proceeded.
The Evergreen Pillars Forest was like a directionless Maze. The further he went in, the more it felt like the area never changed. The Evergreen Pillar Bamboos grew everywhere, and every location seemed to be the same.
It took a lot of effort to observe the finer details of the area, for Lin Mu to even tell that he was actually going into a new area and not just walking around in circles.
"No wonder not many people come here despite being beautiful… It can make them get lost." Lin Mu muttered to himself.
But Lin Mu had no idea that this wasn't even the start of it all. There were bigger secrets that the forest was hiding.
