Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 373 - Getting Ready For The Tournament

Lin Mu looked at the temple and had a complex expression on his face. From what he could understand, the temple itself wasn’t involved in any way with the Gu Legion or the blood sacrifice. In fact, he was sure that everyone in the temple was unaware of what existed beneath it.

"What are we going to do about the blood sacrifice chamber beneath the temple?" Lin Mu questioned.

"I’ll try to get some formation masters to analyze it. Though I’m afraid that it won’t be easy and will take up to a month. Those formations were set up by at least a nascent soul realm cultivator, so it would be quite difficult for anyone below that level to break it.

I’ll have to call some core condensation realm formation masters for this." Wu Hei answered.

"Alright, I guess there really isn’t much we can do except for waiting." Lin Mu replied. "Inform me when it’s daytime. I’ll spend my time cultivating till then." He added.

"That’s no problem. I’ll inform you as soon as something happens." Wu Hei assured.

Lin Mu then bid Wu Hei farewell before heading back to the courtyard. On the way, he did see more people coming to the city and among them, there was a core condensation realm cultivator too. Lin Mu hadn’t totally probed the person, so as to not offend them.

But he was sure that this was one of the participants in the tournament. He looked at the symbol that was carved on the carriage he was sitting in and found it to be a bit unfamiliar. He jogged his memory and realized that it was none other than the Autumn Valley sect.

"Huh? I thought they were a small sect, when did they get a disciple in the core condensation realm..." Lin Mu wondered.

Pushing the matter to the back of his mind, Lin Mu reached his courtyard. The servant was already there prepared with lunch, and Lin Mu ate it before beginning his cultivation.

Lin Mu’s dantian was currently at about 2200 drops of liquid spirit qi, and he wanted to use these four days to increase it as much as possible. He wasn’t going to practice the nameless technique of the lost immortal and fully contribute his spirit qi to increasing his cultivation base.

Him eating the spirit food last night at the Alluring wisteria pavilion had also helped in increasing his overall stores of spirit qi. He would cultivate for about fifteen hours every day and then sleep to practice in the Sleepscape as well.

Even if he was confident of being able to defeat most of the people at the tournament, Lin Mu did not want to be complacent and make a mistake. Besides, his experiences had taught him that the future was unpredictable and anything surprising could happen without anyone knowing.

His progress in comprehending sword intent had also helped him a lot. Lin Mu felt as if his progress in learning the thousand armament blade Scripture had increased by a lot. He had already exceeded half of the weapons that were mentioned in the manual and was at the basic proficiency with the newer weapons.

For the ones that he used more, he was rather decent with them. Besides, the aim of the thousand Armament blade Scripture wasn’t to become an expert with all the weapons. No, rather it was to gain the experience of using different types of weapons and applying those experiences to your swordplay.

Wanting to become an expert in all weapons was rather foolish, and even the immortals would not dare to attempt that. Each weapon had an intent of its own, and becoming an expert at it meant that they would have to develop its unique weapon intent.

If it had taken Lin Mu so much effort just to gain an understanding of the sword intent and yet he was only touching the surface, then one could imagine how long it would take for the other weapons. Another thing was that Lin Mu only had two types of spirit weapons, the short sword, and the iron thorn spear.

He did have the other spirit swords he got from the Tri cauldron peony sect disciples, but they weren’t as good as his, they were both high grade spirit weapons. Only spirit weapons and above could be useful in exerting his skills to the full potential, and thus he couldn’t go beyond a certain level with the other weapons, anyway.

Lin Mu spent the few short days cultivating just like this, and time passed quickly. The day of the tournament finally came, and he was awakened by the servant knocking on the door.

"Master, Lord Wu Hei has called for you at the Manor." The servant spoke from outside the door.

Lin Mu who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes as they glowed with a faint light.

~Huu~

He let out a strong breath that ruffled the curtains on the other end of the room. He had just exceeded 2500 drops of spirit qi and was happy with his progress. He had used the same method he had used before, which was to continuously refine spirit qi till a large amount was accumulated.

Lin Mu was only able to do that twice during these four days, yet it was enough to give him more than 300 drops of liquid spirit qi. He had already finished it last night and had spent the rest of the time calming and relaxing his mind, making sure that it was in tip-top condition.

"I’m coming," Lin Mu simply spoke.

He then changed his clothes and ensured that he had everything ready. Finally, he took out a few pill bottles from his ring. These were the pills that Duan Ke had given him, and they were used for helping the cultivator during a fight.

Lin Mu did not eat them but just checked them as he wanted to be ready if anything problematic happened. There was one pill though that he still wanted to take though. It was none other than the Earthen Qi pill that he had received a while ago from Duan Ke.

It could form a defensive armor on the cultivator’s body that would last for up to 12 hours and could bear one attack of a core condensation realm cultivator.
