Chapter 138: Preparations - II (1/2)

~Huu~

Lin Mu opened his eyes and let out a breath. He had been refining his spirit sense for the entire day and now it was nighttime. He extended his spirit sense and saw that it had now reached a maximum range of eight meters.

In this entire day, Lin Mu was able to increase its range by one whole meter. He also failed multiple times, which caused him to lose a certain amount of spirit qi. But he didn't falter and was able to replenish it rather fast.

Now that he had reached the late stage of the qi refining realm, Lin Mu's speed of replenishing his spirit qi had increased two-fold. Previously it would take him over four hours to replenish the entirety of his dantian. But now it only took him two hours to do the same.

Feeling satisfied and a little happy, Lin Mu stood up and walked to the window. He gazed at the sky outside and saw the waxing moon in the sky that was close to half its maximum size. Looking at the position of the moon, Lin Mu determined that the time right now was probably close to midnight.

”Hmm, I should rest now, this was enough for today. I still have to resume my practice with the new weapons in the Sleepscape.” Lin Mu muttered. to himself.

He thus returned to his bed and sat down. Just as he was about to lay his head on the pillow, he suddenly remembered something.

”Wait, don't I have that bolster I got? I should use it, it's surprisingly better than this pillow.” Lin Mu spoke to himself.

He then withdrew the white bolster from his ring and placed it down on the bed. He touched it and compared it with the pillow that was already there.

'The bolster is indeed much better.' Lin Mu thought.

He pushed the other pillow aside and laid his head down on the bolster to sleep. Lin Mu's choice trend out to be for the better, since it didn't even take him a minute to fall asleep. His consciousness faded for a moment and then appeared in the Sleepscape.

Lin Mu opened his eyes and saw that he was back in front of the spirit apple tree. He looked at it and saw that it had five more apples growing on it.

”Oh? Did the number increase again?” Lin Mu spoke, feeling a little surprised.

He walked forward and saw that out of five of the apples, two were completely ripened and the other three were still raw. He plucked the two ripe ones and left the others hanging on the branch.

”Seems like their number increases by one each time you progress in your realm.” Xukong's voice came from behind Lin Mu.

Lin Mu turned around in shock as he saw him floating behind him.

”What? How did you come out senior?” Lin Mu questioned.

”It looks like your increase in cultivation is also increasing the development level of the Sleepscape. It actually allowed me to enter on my own here.” Xukong answered.

”Oh, that will be convenient. But wait, can you come here when I'm awake?” Lin Mu questioned again.

”No, I don't think so. The basic requirement is still that you should be here for me to access it.” Xukong answered.

Lin Mu nodded in response to senior Xukong's words and began his training with the new weapons. He took out the booklet of the Thousand armament blade Scripture and glossed over it once again before starting his practice.

He withdrew the first weapon, which was a pair of slim swords. The swords were identical in shape and size and looked quite light. Lin Mu held each of them in his hands and executed the moves that were mentioned in the manual.

Lin Mu practiced for around four hours, after which Senior Xukong interrupted him.

”It is time for your Dao script lessons,” Xukong spoke.

”Ah yes, senior.” Lin Mu replied hurriedly.

He was too engrossed in his training and had completely forgotten about them. Lin Mu had already learned enough of the characters so that he could read the nameless technique that was created by the lost immortal.

This lesson was the last one that he needed in order to be clear about the contents of the technique. An hour later Lin Mu was finally done and took a breath of relief.

”You should be able to read the wooden slip now,” Xukong spoke in a content tone.

”Yes senior, I've been waiting for it too.” Lin Mu replied.
