Chapter 270: Eating The Dual Circle Ascension Fruits (1/2)

The spirit qi wisps entered the pores in his skin and then moved to his meridians before being deposited into the dantian. At first, Lin Mu could not sense anything new, but after a little while, he finally found it.

The reason why he had not been able to see the change inside his body was because it was not there at all. Instead, the change was in the pores of his skin from where the spirit qi was absorbed. Lin Mu could barely tell that they seemed to have expanded more than before.

The expansion was small, yet the change was still there. Lin Mu cultivated for an hour to get a good grasp on how much his pace increased and came to the conclusion that it had increased by about one percent.

~Huu~

Lin Mu let out a breath as he stopped cultivating.

'Hmm, it's a rather small change. But no worries, I still have more Dual Circle Ascension fruits left.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

”Don't think that this is insufficient. Even a single percent increase that occurs in an instant like this is great. You don't know how much cultivators would sacrifice to have even one tenth of such an increase.” Xukong spoke.

”I understand, Senior.” Lin Mu replied before talking out another Dual Circle Ascension fruit.

He popped it into his mouth and enjoyed the taste, after which he swallowed it. Similar to before, Lin Mu couldn't observe any change in his body. He tried absorbing the spirit qi again and discovered that his speed had increased by another percent.

Lin Mu observed his pores and saw that they had expanded slightly more than before.

”Hmm, if all of those fruits work, then my speed will increase by about eleven percent, hopefully.” Lin Mu said to himself before taking out all of the Dual Circle Ascension fruit and placing them in front of him.

But when he did this, Lin Mu saw that Little Shrubby had woken up and was looking at them with longing. It was apparent that the beast wanted to eat the fruits too, but Lin Mu was reluctant to offer them to him.

”You will soon see the effect of the Dual Circle Ascension fruit decreasing, so you will have a few fruits left over. You can give those to Little Shrubby, they will be quite useful to him and should increase its intelligence and cultivation speed.” Xukong said.

Lin Mu nodded in response and ate another Dual Circle Ascension fruit. After eating it, he tried to see how much of an increase there was and discovered that it was less than before. Unlike the last two times when his speed had increased by one percent, this time it was less than that.

”Looks like it's already happening… No matter, I'll continue.” Lin Mu stated to himself with determination.

He ate the fourth fruit and finally saw his speed increase by another percent, reaching a total of three percent since the start.

”Finally, so the effect is there, but it's a fraction of what it was before.” Lin Mu muttered with a little satisfaction.

He then ate the fifth fruit and in a little surprise to him, his speed jumped a little more to about four percent of the original.

”Alright, that's good.” Lin Mu muttered as he picked up the next fruit.
