Chapter 419: Refining The Snow Fox Bloodline (1/2)

Lin Mu was standing some distance away from the huge beast that was sleeping in the cave. It was curled up against the wall of the cave and steam could be seen coming out of its mouth and nose.

”Damn, so the warmth in the cave is due to its body temperature…” Lin Mu muttered.

The great slumber Bear's condition was much better than before and it had recovered completely. There were no more bone spurs on its body and the black patches had disappeared as well. Lin Mu could see the triangular pattern on its body much clearer than before.

Lin Mu chanted the severing heart sutra and sensed the faint fluctuations of spirit qi that were coming from the great slumber bear. Since he couldn't use his spirit sense due to the chance of him walking the beast up, Lin Mu could only do this.

'What!' Lin Mu exclaimed in his mind so as to not alert the beast.

”How did it reach the peak stage of the core condensation realm so fast?” Lin Mu wondered.

The spirit qi fluctuations coming from the beast were quite faint, but they were still enough for Lin Mu to tell that.

~Sigh~

”This is gonna be difficult, isn't it?” Lin Mu muttered to himself.

He returned back to the other cave and sat down on the ground. He started thinking about whether he would be able to kill the beast or not this time. He had been able to successfully injure Gu Yao, who was at the pseudo Dao Shell realm, thus he knew he could do it forcefully if he needed to.

But he needed the entire body of the Great slumber bear if he wanted to refine the Bloodline. The more parts that were lost, including blood, the lesser his success rate would become.

~sigh~

”May as well practice for now…” Lin Mu decided.

He took out the corpse of the snow fix and also a small barrel to collect its blood. The snow fox was much smaller than the trunk faced cow and thus would not have the same amount of blood as it. He had not wasted much of its blood back when he killed it, as he had stored it rather quickly.

Lin Mu held its body over the barrel upside down and let the blood flow out of the neck.

~Drip~

The blood started dripping into the barrel and was fully drained after ten minutes.

”Now that this is done, the next step is to set up the runes.” Lin Mu recalled.

He took a small amount of blood from the barrel and started writing runes on the floor of the cave. than fully the ground was solid rock and thus, he didn't have much problem in writing the runes. If it was soil or dirt, the runes would not have been properly written.

About thirty minutes later, he completed this and go ready for the next step. He placed the barrel in the center of the formation and then the corpse of the snow fox. Finally, placing the core of the beast, he started pouring his spirit qi into the formation and started the process.
