Chapter 891 - Wood Element Qi Conversion? (1/2)

With a new and great discovery, Lin Mu felt even more pleased with his decision of exploring the characteristics of the Sleepscape.

”If it can do this… then there should be a lot more things that we are unaware of. It's obvious that being able to produce wood attribute spirit Qi was not a normal ability that the Purple Sickle Amaranth had before this.” Lin Mu said.

”Actually… that might not be entirely true.” Xukong interrupted.

”Oh? What do you mean, senior?” Lin Mu asked.

”Those Bile Cask beetles you saw there in the forest. Those beetles need a certain amount of spirit Qi to reproduce, right?” Xukong replied.

”Umm… yeah they do. But what's that to do with this?” Lin Mu questioned.

”What if the spirit Qi that they need is not just attribute less spirit Qi, but wood attribute spirit Qi?” Xukong revealed.

Hearing this, Lin Mu felt enlightened and pulled out a corpse of a Bile Cask beetle. He probed it with his spirit sense and could really feel the traces of wood attribute less spirit Qi in their carcasses.

”You're right senior!” Lin Mu agreed.

”It might be a qualitative situation. If they don't have enough wood attribute spirit Qi, they can make do with the normal spirit Qi but it will take it longer for them to enter the breeding cycle, but if there is wood attribute spirit Qi that cycle can be shortened.” Xukong explained.

”And that would mean that the Bile Cask beetles were only gathered around the Purple Sickle Amaranth because it could produce wood attribute spirit Qi. Even if the original quantity produced was less, it is still higher than the normal concentration in the air.” Lin Mu elaborated.

”That's correct. Plus, now that you have planted it here, the Sleepscape had an amplifying effect on the spirit herb, not only making it grow a bit more, but also improving its abilities.” Xukong added.

”This is certainly very good. At least now we have a steady source of wood attribute spirit Qi. Even if it is a weak compared to the Billion Flower Meadow.” Lin Mu replied.

Lin Mu then went on to see if there were any additional properties in the parts of the Purple Sickle Amaranth. He very carefully plucked a single leaf, a small twig, and one of the tiny flowers from the cluster.

He checked them with his spirit sense and then used a few alchemical reagents to test their medicinal properties. Even if Lin Mu was not as proficient in Alchemical pill refinement, what he did now were just some basic tests that even students that have never learned could do.

It didn't need any specific techniques or control over the spirit sense. All it needed was some basic reagents and add them to the spirit herb to test out what they could do.

Lin Mu noted down the things he learned and would hand them to Elder Pigu later on. He could tell that the portly man was very enthusiastic about the spirit herbs and just alchemy in general.

Some time later, Lin Mu was done with it and started on the next task he had on pending for a while.

Lin Mu withdrew the Egg from the ring and observed it.

”It seems to be unchanged, huh…” Lin Mu said after looking at it.

”try to sense its life force. Its vitality is a bit more strong.” Xukong
