Chapter 271: Little Shrubbys Improvement (1/2)
Lin Mu extended his spirit sense and observed the Spirit qi wisps in the air being absorbed into Little Shrubby's body. The process didn't last that long and concluded after two minutes.
~Meow~
A growl escaped little Shrubby's mouth as it felt the effects of the Duan Circle Ascension fruit. It was at that moment that Lin Mu could sense the connection between himself and Little Shrubby strengthening.
”Is this the effect of its intelligence increasing?” Lin Mu wondered.
”Not exactly. His intelligence would not increase this fast, it will be an eventual increase. What you're seeing is simply the connection strengthening due to little Shrubby's potential for intelligence increase. Once it reaches its potential, it will increase even more.” Xukong explained.
Lin Mu nodded in response and thought over it. Although he did not know what the effects will be like later on, he at least knew that there were some effects.
”Here you go,” Lin Mu said as he offered the rest of the Duan Circle Ascension fruits to Little Shrubby.
The beast ate them one by one, and soon the effects intensified. Lin Mu could sense the spirit qi in the air stirring again as it moved towards Little Shrubby. This time the process lasted much longer, for about ten minutes.
Little Shrubby was a bit overwhelmed and laid down on the ground with his eyes closed. It absorbed the spirit qi that was swirling around it, and its cultivation started to rapidly increase. Lin Mu estimated that the increase was much more than his own.
It took Lin Mu about six fruits to obtain an increase of about five percent, while Little Shrubby was able to obtain an increase of about fifteen percent with just four fruits. Not only that, but the connection between Lin Mu and Little Shrubby was also strengthening visibly.
”This is rather big, the benefits that it obtained are much more than me…” Lin Mu muttered.
”It was bound to happen. You are not only at a higher cultivation base, but you also have been practicing the nameless technique of the lost immortal. In addition to that, I believe the mysterious ring also had a hand in improving your aptitude perhaps, that's why the increase was lesser. You are already at a higher level.” Xukong explained.
”I understand, Senior.” Lin Mu replied before returning to his cultivation.
Time passed by and night arrived. Lin Mu slept and appeared in the Sleepscape. There he plucked the five spirit apples that were hanging on the tree before starting his daily practice. After a sufficient time, he paused and used the nameless technique of the lost immortal to infuse half of the drops of liquid spirit qi that he had obtained today.
