Chapter 479: Fourth Stage Of The Mortal Strengthening Scripture (1/2)

Appearing in the library again, he shut the doors and got ready. He sat down cross legged and took out the Dark soil pill. Its glassy exterior glittered in the sunlight that was coming from one of the windows.

After looking at it for a moment, Lin Mu put it in his mouth, swallowing it down. Unlike most of the other pills which turned into liquid when put in mouth, this one stayed solid. Even when it was in his stomach it stayed in the solid form.

'Why is it now showing any effect?' Lin Mu wondered.

And just as this question appeared in his mind, it happened.

~boom~

It was as if an explosion had happened in his stomach and the pill started releasing its efficacy. Dense earth elemental spirit Qi was released from it that was rapidly absorbed into Lin Mu's body.

The spirit Qi coursed through his meridians putting pressure on them. This was the first time in a long while, Lin Mu was feeling such kind of a pressure on his meridians. Ever since his meridians had expanded and he had reached the Five treasures realm, he had not had any problem bearing the spirit Qi.

This showed just how much power was contained within that little pill. Lin Mu got over the initial shock after a second and hurriedly practiced the Mortal strengthening scripture. The earth elemental spirit Qi, traversed the meridians and followed the Qi circuit of the moral strengthening scripture.

Unlike before, the brown armor layer did not appear on his skin right away. It took him fifteen minutes before he had even absorbed the initial wave of the spirit Qi. Lin Mu took a look at the pill in his stomach and saw that it was barely 10% dissolved.

'This is definitely way more powerful than any other pill I've taken…' Lin Mu thought to himself.

~shua~

Finally, he had gone past the limit and the brown armor layer appeared on his skin again. The plate like patterns on it started expanding as the armor started to get thicker. The earth elemental spirit Qi kept on pouring into it and hours passed in the blink of an eye.

About half of the Dark Soil Pill's efficacy had been used up by Lin Mu and he had still not broken through to the next stage. He looked at the armor which was now two inches thick. If one looked at Lin Mu right now, they would think that some barbarian that was wearing a thick armor was sitting there instead.

The armor masked Lin Mu's appearance and he looked like a very bulky man instead. From afar it looked heavy but in reality, it was weightless. More time passed and then the communicator jade slip hummed.

Lin Mu paid no attention to it right now though, and simply continued practicing the mortal strengthening scripture. Finally, the armor could not absorb any more of the earth elemental spirit Qi and reached a peak.

~Crack~

The armor shuddered before cracks started spreading all over it. Bit by bit they covered the entire surface of Lin Mu's body until it finally shattered.

~Tremble~

A wave of aura was released by Lin Mu's body and spread all across the area. All the people who were currently in the Mercenary union and the district that it was located in felt tremors.
