Chapter 316: Bloodline Refinement Success! (1/2)

Lin Mu controlled the runes that would act on the blood and made sure that they worked according to the proper institutions.

The three ribbons of blood completely wrapped the corpse of the trunk faced cow, turning into a red mass and then the beast core melted before merging into the red mass. This red mass floated up and twisted and turned, letting out more noises.

The trunk faced cow's grunts and cries could be heard in the room. Lin Mu was profusely sweating, but he did not dare to lose focus for even one second and continued operating the formations. An hour passed by after which the red mass had shrunk by half and continued to do so.

”How long do I need to keep this up, senior?” Lin Mu asked with difficulty.

”Until it has been reduced to the size of a small pill.” Xukong answered.

~Sigh~

Lin Mu let out a sigh and then focused back on the task at hand. Another hour passed and now the red mass was reduced to ten percent of its original size. But it was still far from the size it needed to be. One more hour for a total of three hours passed and now the red mass had reached the size of a fist.

Lin Mu's eyes were blood shot at this point and veins had popped up on his face due to how much he had been straining himself.

Suddenly a new change happened and all the formations runes that had been floating in the air started to fall towards the fist sized mass and hammered on it. With each formation rune that imprinted on it, the size of the red mass shrank by a little bit.

Grasping what he now needed to do now, Lin Mu started to control the runes to hammer onto the red mass. With each rune, he increased his speed and continued to do so until finally all of the runes had disappeared and the red mass had shrunk to the size of a small pill.

”MOOOOO”

An unyielding cry came from the pill, and it almost escaped Lin Mu's control. The pill was trying to run away!

”NO, YOU WON'T!” Lin Mu uttered with determination.

In that moment, the aura of the sword path unconsciously leaked out of his body and touched upon the small red pill. As soon as it did, a suppressed grunt came out of the pill as if it were submitting to Lin Mu.

Finally, the small red pill glowed brightly, and when the light faded away Lin Mu saw it. There was now a translucent red bead floating in his hand. The bead had the figure of the trunk faced cow in it, but unlike before, it was fixed and did not move.

~Phew~

Lin Mu let out a breath of relief and held onto the small bead.
