Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 688 - A Technique

The technique in front of Lin Mu was unlike the other ones he had seen. The more he read it, the more he found it to be strange. By the time he was done reading it, he understood that it was not a normal cultivation technique.

It was then that it hit him.

"Senior, could this be a body cultivation technique?" Lin Mu questioned.

Xukong quickly took a look through the recent memories and assessed the technique.

"Oh? This is actually a rudimentary body cultivation technique." Xukong spoke.

"It really is!?" Lin Mu was now excited.

"Indeed. Though this one is dependent mostly on a specific kind of resources and thus it can only be considered to be the lowest grade of body cultivation technique." Xukong replied.

Lin Wu was now excited upon hearing this. A body cultivation technique was what he was lacking, and now he finally had one. Even if it was a low quality one, Lin Wu reckoned it should be better than nothing.

"What’s the difference between this body cultivation technique and others, senior?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Hmm.... This one was evidently made by trial and error. And now that I observe it again, it seems like the creator of this technique originally wanted to make a Qi cultivation technique but ended up with something completely else." Xukong explained.

"I see... this essence of Hong Lin that the technique talk about... isn’t this just Vital essence?" Lin Mu asked.

"That’s probably it. This world probably does not have body cultivation techniques since those require vital essence to cultivate rather than just Vital energy. But in the case of this technique, it managed to find an alternative way of obtaining it which is from those Hong Lin trees." Xukong spoke.

"Seems like it. Though it also needs some specific kinds of trees, it looks like. Normal Hong Lin trees won’t be enough. The tree needs to be one with a ’Heart’." Lin Mu stated.

Xukong thought over it for a bit and shook his head.

"You will have to investigate this on your own and see how it works. So far, you have managed to use elemental Qi instead of Vital essence to cultivate, but that only works for the initial stages.

I doubt your body will be that responsive to it as you increase it further. Even when you absorbed the fire elemental Qi, that was a great luck. I don’t think fire elemental Qi will work for you anymore." Xukong explained.

Lin Mu thought over it and found it to be reasonable. He knew that even if he had managed to refine some fire attributive spirit Qi and his heart had been refined due to the first influence, it was not something that could be repeated over and over again.

~Sigh~

"Seems like we will be focusing on Hong Lin trees even more than I thought. Though having obtained this technique is more than enough reason to come to the Hong Lin kingdom. I can’t say we’ve wasted our time here now, despite the fact that we have basically failed with the Hei corps." Lin Mu said while shaking his head.

"Indeed. Like I said before, there are opportunities everywhere and all you need to do is search for them." Xukong spoke.

"I understand now, senior." Lin Mu said before putting the technique’s scroll back where he found it.

He had already memorized it and had even made a copy of its contents in another jade slip. Thus, he no longer needed it, plus he didn’t want to steal it from its rightful owners. The Hong Lin kingdom had not directly harmed him yet and thus he didn’t want to harm them either.

Even if they did end up harming the Hei corps, it was not something Lin Wu could blame them for. With that said and done, Lin Mu swept through the rest of the repository, reading and gathering information that was of use to him.

There were some minor pieces of information that came to his use and cleared some of the doubts that he had about the empire as well and thus he felt that this was all useful to him.

Once he was done, Lin Mu checked the entire repository to make sure that no one would find that he was here and left it. He observed the king, his uncle Kou and also the two disciples only to find them cultivating now as well.

"Hmm... this makes it easier. I’ll go check up on Jing Luo and see how he’s doing before doing other things." Lin Mu muttered to himself and quickly left the royal palace.

In a few minutes, Lin Mu was already in the courtyard, which he had rented for the month. He used his spirit sense and saw that Jing Luo was still deep in assimilating the knowledge. He had also set up a barrier around his room to prevent any sound or someone from disturbing him.

"Hmm, guess I’ll leave him alone for now and go do other tasks." Lin Mu said before leaving the hall.

It was now nighttime and the streets were filled with people going about their tasks. Some were walking around, enjoying their time and eating at the various restaurants and food stalls that were located in the city.

There were children playing around while their parents looked after them. There were also several cultivators that were selling things here.

"I may as well check out the market and see how things fare." Lin Mu said before he wandered through the streets.

There were many areas in the capital city, and they were divided according to their purpose. There was the food street that was filled with restaurants, the entertainment street that had brothels, pleasure pavilions, taverns and gambling houses, and finally shopping streets where various goods and items were sold.

Lin Mu of course, decided to visit the food street first and partake in the unique cuisine of the Hong Lin kingdom.

"This will be fun..."
