Chapter 688: A Technique (1/2)

The technique in front of Lin Mu was unlike the other ones he had seen. The more he read it, the more he found it to be strange. By the time he was done reading it, he understood that it was not a normal cultivation technique.

It was then that it hit him.

”Senior, could this be a body cultivation technique?” Lin Mu questioned.

Xukong quickly took a look through the recent memories and assessed the technique.

”Oh? This is actually a rudimentary body cultivation technique.” Xukong spoke.

”It really is!?” Lin Mu was now excited.

”Indeed. Though this one is dependent mostly on a specific kind of resources and thus it can only be considered to be the lowest grade of body cultivation technique.” Xukong replied.

Lin Wu was now excited upon hearing this. A body cultivation technique was what he was lacking, and now he finally had one. Even if it was a low quality one, Lin Wu reckoned it should be better than nothing.

”What's the difference between this body cultivation technique and others, senior?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Hmm…. This one was evidently made by trial and error. And now that I observe it again, it seems like the creator of this technique originally wanted to make a Qi cultivation technique but ended up with something completely else.” Xukong explained.

”I see… this essence of Hong Lin that the technique talk about… isn't this just Vital essence?” Lin Mu asked.

”That's probably it. This world probably does not have body cultivation techniques since those require vital essence to cultivate rather than just Vital energy. But in the case of this technique, it managed to find an alternative way of obtaining it which is from those Hong Lin trees.” Xukong spoke.

”Seems like it. Though it also needs some specific kinds of trees, it looks like. Normal Hong Lin trees won't be enough. The tree needs to be one with a 'Heart'.” Lin Mu stated.

Xukong thought over it for a bit and shook his head.

”You will have to investigate this on your own and see how it works. So far, you have managed to use elemental Qi instead of Vital essence to cultivate, but that only works for the initial stages.

I doubt your body will be that responsive to it as you increase it further. Even when you absorbed the fire elemental Qi, that was a great luck. I don't think fire elemental Qi will work for you anymore.” Xukong explained.

Lin Mu thought over it and found it to be reasonable. He knew that even if he had managed to refine some fire attributive spirit Qi and his heart had been refined due to the first influence, it was not something that could be repeated over and over again.
