Chapter 478: The Dark Soil Pill Is Ready (1/2)

Now that he had ordered the pill, Lin Mu just returned back to the library. There wasn't much left for him to do other than to wait. He couldn't progress his cultivation and he couldn't practice the mortal strengthen scripture either.

”Hmm… may as well try to further my five treasures realm cultivation, even if it is slow it'll be fine. A drop will eventually turn into a pond and then into a sea.” Lin Mu muttered to himself.

Currently, his spleen had reached the fifty percent mark due to the large number of earth elemental herbs and pills he had consumed. This was not the intendant method of cultivation for the five treasures realm, but this was all he had.

Originally the five treasures realm could be cultivated with vital essence but because Lin Mu lacked the specific technique he was using the inefficient method of using spirit Qi to convert into the elemental spirit Qi and then use that to refine the related organ.

This was a long winded and inefficient process, but this was all he could do for now.

'Perhaps I can get some ideas from the lost immortal's memoirs….' Lin Mu thought and started reading them.

Back in the ring, Xukong was observing Lin Mu while thinking about some things.

”He's going to need a proper body cultivation technique soon, if he wants to progress it. But finding it in this world seems close to impossible. ~Sigh~ I should have paid more attention and collected techniques in the past.” Xukong muttered to himself.

He then looked back at the altar in the center of the ring and thought a bit more.

'Will you be interfering this time? I wonder…' Xukong thought.

***

The ten days passed in the blink of an eye and Lin Mu just continued his routine in that time.

In that time he had been able to find some clues to the five treasures realm from the lost immortal's memoirs but none of them were useful in his situation. Still, he noted them down in his mind thinking that he may have a chance at using them in the future.

Another thing that he discovered in this item was about the alchemist Bilao. He had thought that he had heard or seen his name somewhere before, and it was actually in the records of the mercenary union.

Alchemist Bilao was over two hundred years old currently and thus quite a lot of information about him was available. He was actually a big shot in the Tri cauldron peony sect and had won a few accolades in the alchemist competition that were held by the many sects.

His accomplishments in the field of alchemy were good for his age and cultivation base, not to mention that most of this was self learned. He actually did not have any master and had learned everything on his own.
