Chapter 555: Qualitative Change (1/2)

The next day Lin Mu opened his eyes and saw a change in Little Shrubby.

”Did his fur fall off?” Lin Mu spoke.

He stood up and observed the fur that was fallen on the ground everywhere. Lin Mu checked little Shrubby and saw new fur growing on his body. It was very small and would take a while before it would be replenished.

Lin Mu didn't know if this was a good change or not, but then remembered even he had lost all his hair when he had obtained the Xiantian Physique. He reckoned that this must be something similar, if not different.

Little Shrubby's aura had also gotten a bit more stronger than before, and it had yet to fully absorb all the Beast Qi that Lin Mu had injected into him yesterday.

”Hmm… I'll give him more when he is done with this part.” Lin Mu spoke before leaving the cave.

He wanted to see what the condition of the two snakes was now that a day had passed. Lin Mu flew there and saw the two snakes still lying there. The Fire Fang snake was in the same position as before and was resting while the Black Water snake had calmed down, too.

It no longer looked like it was in discomfort, though it was still sprawled on the ground like he was dead. Lin Mu checked both of them with his spirit sense and found that there was a slight change in their cultivation base.

It had increased by a little bit, but it was most obvious in the Black Water snake.

”Hmm… a few more strings of the Beast Qi should be enough to show an effect, I think. Since Little Shrubby shed his fur after two full strings, it should be roughly the same for them too… hopefully.” Lin Mu estimated.

Lin Mu chanted the Nurturing heart sutra and refined another string of Beast Qi before taking it out of his Dantian. The Fire Fang Snake woke up immediately upon sensing the Beast Qi and raised its head. The black water snake though, was still asleep and it seemed like it could not take any more for now.

”Seems like it's just you this time…” Lin Mu muttered.

The Fire Fang Snake looked at Lin Mu with eyes filled with interest, and actually took the initiative to approach him. Lin Mu couldn't help but raise his brows at this action and saw the snake stopping a couple of meters away from him.

It looked intently at the String of Beast Qi but did not rush in for some reason.

'It's willing to wait?' Lin Mu thought.

He moved the beast Qi around and saw the snake following it. He moved it to the top, to the left and to the right. The Fire Fang Snake Continued staring at it, not even blinking for the fear of missing it.

Lin Mu then flicked his finger, sending the beast Qi flying towards the Fire Fang Snake, who quickly consumed it.

~hiss~

The Fire Fang Snake let out a contented hiss as it coiled back up in her nest. Lin Mu could sense its heartbeats getting stronger.

”Time to wait and watch…” Lin Mu said before taking his seat on top of a tree nearby.
