Chapter 545: Beast Qi (1/2)

Lin Mu looked at it curiously but couldn't tell what it was. From his own body's response, it didn't seem to desire the energy as it did with spirit Qi or vital energy.

”What is this senior?” Lin Mu questioned feeling completely lost.

Xukong though did not respond to Lin Mu. He just kept on staring at the string of energy that was floating above Lin Mu's spirit Qi sea without moving.

”Senior? Is everything okay?” Lin Mu questioned feeling concerned.

”Could it really be…” Xukong muttered.

”Senior?” Lin Mu called out again.

”Yes?” Xukong said snapping out of his daze.

”What is that strange energy?” Lin Mu questioned.

”That Lin Mu… is something nearly every beast in the world would desire…” Xukong said and took a pause, looking at the energy again.

”That energy is a strand of pure Beast Qi.” Xukong answered.

”Beast Qi? Is that another type of spirit Qi?” Lin Mu questioned.

”No…” Xukong shook his head. ”It's something on a completely different level.”

”Beast Qi is a special type of Qi that contains a fragment of the essence of the Beast Path.” Xukong revealed.

Upon hearing that it was related to one of the 'Paths', Lin Mu instantly connected the points and realized what it was.

”So it's similar to other derivative Qi's like the Sword Qi, Buddhist Qi, and more.” Lin Mu asked.

”Exactly… these types of qi's are different from the three categories of the Qis of the universe. They all contain a fragment of the essence of various paths. Sword Qi would contain the fragment of the essence of the Sword path, Buddhist Qi that of the Buddhist path and in this case, Beast Qi has the beast path.” Xukong explained.

Lin Mu felt excited about this as he understood that the fourth sutra that he obtained was the representative of the Beast path. Now he had sutra for four paths including the Sword, Buddhist and Demonic path.

While Lin Mu was feeling excited about this, Xukong on the other hand was going through a storm of emotions. He felt sad, angry, happy, terrified and excited at the same time.

”Seeing as it is of the beast path, will this Beast Qi help other beasts to cultivate?” Lin Mu asked.

Xukong forcefully controlled himself and reminded himself he needed to be calm.

”Yes… but not directly. It will not be like spirit Qi which would increase the cultivation base of a beast. Rather Beast Qi has a slightly different effect.” Xukong said as he took a pause.

”What is it?” Lin Mu asked impatiently.
