Chapter 893 - How To Hatch The Egg (1/2)

Two days passed by before Lin Mu finally woke up from his trance.

~shudder~

His eyelids trembled and his body shook as he gained control again.

”W-what…” Lin Mu muttered. ”What happened?”

~Grunt~

But just as he did that he felt a rush of memories in his mind. He recalled all that he had learned and soon a calm expression replaced his distressed one.

”Are you fine now?” Xukong questioned.

”I am… Senior.” Lin Mu answered after a second.

”Did you see?” Xukong asked.

”I did… everything.” Lin Mu replied.

”Hmm… you did see it, but it's not everything. You'll see more later as you grow. But for now that's enough.” Xukong said, keeping things vague.

By now Lin Mu understood that the secrets of the cosmos were not to be pried into easily and it was best to keep one's distance, lest one was pulled into it and torn apart. The weight of it was not something light to bear.

Lin Mu instead focused on the thing that had started all this: The egg.

”I now know how to make the egg hatch, senior.” Lin Mu replied.

”You do?” Xukong asked, feeling surprised.

”Indeed. The egg is certainly special… it absorbed the impure yin spirit Qi from the crystals and grew. But that is not enough… only half of the progress is done.

If it is to be hatched, it will need something to balance the Yin spirit Qi.” Lin Mu replied.

”Yang spirit Qi…” Xukong muttered.

”Exactly. Only after the egg is fed a certain amount of Yang Spirit Qi would it regain the balance and hatch.

From what I understood, if we had never given it the crystal, it might have not needed Yang Spirit Qi. But at the same time, it would have taken an exponentially longer time to hatch on its own.

But this will help shorten that time. As long as we can feed it some Yang spirit Qi, it will hatch eventually.” Lin Mu explained.

”That will not be an easy task. While Yin and Yang Spirit Qi are literally everywhere in the universe, the problem is in refining it. Even that impure Yin spirit Qi from those crystals would take hundreds of years of refinement to obtain.” Xukong said.

”Yes… it will be a tough task. But thankfully we are in no rush for it. We simply need to continue on and wait for the right opportunity.” Lin Mu said a smile.

This was a fact, since there was nothing really dependent on the egg hatching. It was just an extra thing that Lin Mu was keeping with him, hoping that something good would come out of it, eventually.

Plus, Lin Mu had far too important things to deal with currently.

”How long has it been, senior?” Lin Mu asked, knowing that he had lost track of time when he was in trance.
