Chapter 595: The Neglected Egg (1/2)

About two months had passed since Lin Mu had appeared in the Sleepscape. His practice was going quite well and he had finally finished the entire Thousand Armament Blade scripture.

While he wouldn't say he was fully proficient in all of the weapons from the scripture, he could very well say that he was able to use them all. And was also proficient in about ten percent of them.

It could not be helped, as the total number of weapons in the Thousand Armament Blade scripture was over three hundred. Lin Mu being able to become proficient in even ten percent of them was quite a lot.

Lin Mu had also furthered his understanding of the Dao Script during his lessons with Senior Xukong and could read far more characters than before. He also read more from the memoirs of the Lost immortal and gained some wisdom from them.

Overall, it was a rather productive two months and Lin Mu's strength had become more refined than before.

”My cultivation base has also increased but quite a lot…” Lin Mu muttered.

”How far along are you?” Xukong who was calmly floating on the side, asked.

”I should be close to breaking through to the Child Stage of the Nascent Soul realm soon.” Lin Mu replied.

”That's good, hopefully the spirit Qi in the Minor plane has also started to reduce by now.” Xukong stated.

”I can't really tell that accurately right now. But if I correlate it with the increase in my cultivation base, I would say it is at the same rate as it was about a month ago.” Lin Mu spoke.

”Yes, but that is in addition to the spirit Qi you were constantly using as well. If you were just absorbing spirit Qi during this time, I reckon you would have already broken through to the Child Soul Stage of the Nascent Soul realm.” Xukong estimated.

”That's true, but doing that would have made my foundation unstable. At least this way I have a steady increase and my body gets used to it as well. Plus, I'm still improving my strength in other ways.” Lin Mu said in an understanding tone.

Xukong nodded in appreciation. He was feeling content with how far along Lin Mu had come and how his understanding of cultivation had also increased. He did not doubt himself as much as before either, and had gained confidence.

But while thinking of all this, Xukong was suddenly reminded of a certain thing that had been lying near a certain glowing altar.

”Have you checked up on that egg yet?” Xukong suddenly spoke.

”Egg?” Lin Mu repeated before his eyes went wide.

”THE GREY EGG OF THE SNAKES!” Lin Mu remembered and hurriedly withdrew the egg from his ring.
