Chapter 558: Fruit Of Wisdom (1/2)

Lin Mu could tell that Little Shrubby was definitely interested in the beast Qi in his hand. The way he was looking at it was of absolute attention and it would not even blink, no matter how much Lin Mu moved his hands around.

”Beast Qi really is every attractive to beasts huh…” Lin Mu muttered to himself.

He looked at little Shrubby who was still enthralled by it and coughed lightly.

~Ahem~

”So I presume you want it?” Lin Mu questioned.

”YES!!” Little Shrubby responded hurriedly.

”Okay, I'll give it to you. But you need to tell me what effect it has on you.” Lin Mu replied.

”Okay!” Little Shrubby said in an impatient tone.

Lin Mu then sent the Beast Qi flying towards Little Shrubby, who quickly sucked it in. He then closed his eyes in pleasure as if he had eaten something very delicious and his stomach was full.

”This feels good.” Little Shrubby said before laying down on the ground.

”What are you doing now?” Lin Mu questioned.

He wanted to know how exactly was little Shrubby processing the spirit Qi as he had only seen him do this unconsciously. He reckoned that it was the passive absorption that his body did automatically, which must have been slow.

Lin Mu wanted to see how it worked when Little Shrubby was awake.

”The Beast Qi… it feels good… it is spreading in my body and my spirit Qi, feels to be flowing smoothly. It feels warm.” Little Shrubby said.

~Sigh~

'Must have guessed that he wouldn't be able to fully explain how it works.' Lin Mu thought.

Lin Mu then extended his spirit sense and probed little shrubby's body. The beast did not mind it at all and Lin Mu's spirit sense easily entered his body with no obstructions. Inside little Shrubby's body, Lin Mu could see that the beast Qi had fully assimilated into his cells.

There were only faint traces left with which he could tell that the beast Qi was still here. The beast Qi was stimulating his cells and was causing them to produce a lot of vital energy which coursed through the blood, nourishing his body further. After a few circulations, Lin Mu could even see that the vital energy was being converted into Vital essence.

”So this is how it works… the beast Qi stimulates the cells, producing vital energy which nourishes his body, prompting it to further refine the vital energy to vital essence. This vital essence then increases the overall quality of his body, thus causing the bloodline to improve.” Lin Mu hypothesized.

It was quite similar to how Lin Mu had reached the Xiantian physique after breaking through the thirteenth stage of the body tempering realm. It had triggered a qualitative change that caused his body's cells to be replaced by Xiantian cells which could produce vital essence.
