Chapter 932 - A Bowl Of Liquid Gold (1/2)

Hours upon hours passed by as Lin Mu continued his work. Due to the vastly more amount of gold than before, it took Lin Mu more time and effort. But after sixteen hours, it was finally done.

~HISS~

Hot gas escaped from the gaps of the lid as Lin Mu opened it up.

~clang~ clang~ clang~

Each of the metal clasp opened with a crisp sound, as a bright glow escaped from the cauldron. The glow was yellowish white and made it hard for most people to look at it. But for Lin Mu, who had already gotten used to it, it was nothing.

”You are going to use this?” Little Shrubby asked.

”Yes. I need it to practice the new technique I got.” Lin Mu replied.

Little Shrubby nodded his head and then watched Lin Mu proceed. Removing his robes, Lin Mu used a large metal bowl to scoop out some of the liquid gold. The over all quantity of the gold was not actually that much once it was melted down, being less than twenty five liters.

'It's now or never…' Lin Mu thought as a he took a deep breath and poured the liquid gold over his hand.

~Sizzle~

With the mortal strengthening scripture's armor deactivated, the hot gold touched his skin and quickly vaporised the moisture on it. It spread over his skin as Lin Mu moved the bowl around.

If anyone were to see this, they would quite likely want to avert their eyes, but to Lin Mu, it seemed more like he was taking a warm bath. The visual appeal was far too impactful than the actual effects.

Soon he was done pouring the gold in the bowl and scooped up another bowl from the cauldron.

~HUU~

Little Shrubby on the other side controlled his fire to continue heating the cauldron. That way it would not cool and solidify. It took Lin Mu around three bowls to coat his hands entirely.

It was not a quick process since he actually needed it to harden on his hand, before he could turn it over and pour the gold on the other side.

”Hmm… I guess this is it?” Lin Mu muttered as he looked at his now rigid golden hand. It was stuck in a 'L' shape from his elbow and didn't really bend freely like it normally would.

Lin Mu recalled the details of the True Gold Body forging arts and revised its mnemonics.

'Now to use the cultivation method on my arm.' Lin Mu thought as he followed the method prescribed in the technique.

He closed his eyes and put all his focus on the arm while circulating spirit Qi in a very specific manner. At first it was normal and Lin Mu felt nothing, but about an hour later, he could feel as if there was something rough being pressed upon his arm; something like sandpaper.
