Chapter 1929 Little Shrubby's Skill
The ball of Wood Elemental Immortal Qi looked like sticky sugar syrup, except for the fact that it was green in color.
In fact, with how condensed it was, there was no immortal Qi fluctuation coming from it. They were all restrained within it, showing Little Shrubby's perfect control which he had gained under the Saintess' teachings.
'Guess Saintess is really good at this too…' Lin Mu reckoned seeing Little Shrubby's skills.
She had been teaching Little Shrubby and the twins for a while now whenever Lin Mu was busy, and as a result, the three had steadily grown stronger over time. Little Shrubby's cultivation base was at the Second Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm, but he could very easily match up against those at the fourth Tribulation stage with the combination of his speed and skills.
'And if he uses the Seven Beast Burst, it might reach the fifth or even the sixth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm perhaps.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
Little Shrubby hadn't used his Innate skill for a long time and as such they didn't know how it would affect him now. Not to mention, his Fume Wood Panther bloodline had also become strengthened and he had two Dao Embryos now.
There were a lot of things that had been improved since the last time he had used the innate skill, and as such there were bound to be better effects.
'But that also means that the recoil from the Seven Beast Burst would also be higher.' Lin Mu knew how such skills could work.
~SHUA~
While Lin Mu was thinking of all that, Little Shrubby had finally finished condensing most of his Wood Elemental Immortal Qi.
The green ball of Qi had grown to the maximum size that Little Shrubby could handle right now and finally released it.
The ball fell to the ground but did not splash like water. Instead, it was immediately absorbed by the ground as if it were parched for water.
~shua~
Once the Wood Elemental Immortal Qi entered the ground, there was finally some movement.
'Is it finally sprouting?' Lin Mu wondered and locked his eyes to the spot.
The ground seemed to tremble a bit, but after a minute it stopped.
"Huh? It still didn't sprout?" Lin Mu was surprised.
"We did see it absorb all that Immortal Qi… perhaps it needs some more time to sprout or maybe needs even more Wood Elemental Immortal Qi." Xukong suggested.
"Mmmhmm, considering it was in the possession of the Crown Princess she probably did the same." Lin Mu replied. "Actually… if we consider the fact that the unknown seed might have already absorbed a lot of Qi and other resources when it was with the Crown Princess, it could already be satisfied with the Qi. What if the requirement for it to sprout is something else?" He analyzed.
"That is quite possible." Xukong agreed. "And there could also be a chance that this could be a plant that has a very long growth period. Certain immortal plants take thousands of years to grow after all. This could very well be one of them." He explained.
"If it is, the overall benefits would be greater. Though since the Sleepscape has accepted it, I guess it is a confirmation that it will be growing sometime in the future." Lin Mu didn't have to worry about any uncertainty.
"I could still continue to give it Wood Elemental Immortal Qi every day." Little Shrubby offered.
"You can yeah… it'll also serve as a practice for you." Lin Mu nodded his head.
After all, one of the most common ways to grow one's capacity for Qi was to continually drain it and then gather it all again. Not only did this give the cultivator a chance to improve their control over Qi, it also increased their overall speed of absorption.
Both of these were very important for cultivators and enhanced their capabilities. As such, this was not a disadvantage for Little Shrubby at all.
"Alright! I'll do it every day." Little Shrubby said with confidence.
"Mmhmm, you should go recover for now." Lin Mu said.
"Okay," Little Shrubby said and went to rest under the Violet Mystic Life Tree.
With this done, Lin Mu decided that he could read the Jade Slip that he had improved with the information from the library.
He too sat down and read it until it was time for him to wake up in the morning.
~shua~
Lin Mu's body disappeared in the Sleepscape and he opened his eyes in the real world.
"That was a good sleep." Lin Mu muttered, feeling refreshed.
All his fatigue over the past few days had been erased.
'Though I can still feel the Well of Slumber wanting to activate in the future.' Lin Mu knew within his mind.
The time when it would activate was still distant, and if Lin Mu wished, he could trigger it any time. But he still had tasks to do and as such it was better to wait till he couldn't.
"I also need to stock up on as much meat and other food as I can." Lin Mu had no idea how long he would be sleeping this time, and wanted to be ready. 'If I end up sleeping for a hundred years or more, I definitely need more than twice as much food.' He thought.
Though Lin Mu didn't think he would have an issue in doing that. There were more than enough beasts in the areas around them and hunting enough beasts that would last him 200 years would take just a few months, give or take.
'Plus it'll be fun too.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
He then left the luxurious room and went outside.
"Hmm, I haven't checked out the bath yet, have I?" Lin Mu had a thought.
He went towards the place where the hot springs were and arrived there after five minutes.
"Ah! Daoist Mu Lin!" The clan members there noticed him and were surprised.
"Can I use the hot springs?" Lin Mu asked.
