Three days later!
Mo Wuxin, dressed in a white robe, came to collect the pills.
Her brow furrowed slightly, carrying a touch of melancholy, like smoke hanging on willow tips.
Xu Mu refrained himself from asking imprudent questions.
He simply took out three bottles of pills from his storage bag and handed them to the other side.
Although Mo Wuxin had given him hundreds of medicinal materials, it didn’t mean that they all had to be refined. According to their agreement, as long as he could refine fifty bottles within half a year, it would be enough.
As for the extra pills, he could either keep them or sell them to the sect.
In addition to these pills, he also received a payment of spiritual stones.
Adding up all the benefits, it was only slightly below what Xu Mu would get if he sold them himself — it was quite generous.
After all, selling them by himself was not only time-consuming, but also potentially life-threatening. If he could use others’ channels, he could save a lot of trouble, but his earnings would be reduced by more than 20%.
So, this cheap master was quite good. He didn’t take advantage of Xu Mu and even gave him benefits.
What a pity that he was too old, Otherwise-
Deceiving the master, isn’t impossible!
Mo Wuxin checked the pills, and the unpleasant look on her face was finally slightly relieved.
Xu Mu seized this opportunity to ask:
“Senior Brother, can I take a walk in the sect during my rest time? I have been a member of the sect for so many years but haven’t really had a chance to travel around it!”
Over the years, he had never stayed in the sect except when delivering the pills.
The house that was allocated to him initially, he only visited once.
“The legs are yours. Go wherever you want, as long as it doesn’t affect your alchemy,” Mo Wuxin said indifferently.
“Thank you, Senior Brother!”
His request to stroll around was not for leisure, but to learn more about Mo Wuxin and Nangong Suyi’s behavior to decide whether to help or not.
After Mo Wuxin had left with the pills, Xu Mu did not immediately leave the alchemy room. Instead, he activated all defensive arrays and then took out the recently refined essence blood of the Earth-splitting Whale.
He intended to first integrate the bloodline into himself, boosting his strength.
Hoo!
Xu Mu closed his eyes, drawing a deep breath, and circulated the spiritual power within his body. His body started to shake slightly, seemingly under a great pressure.
After an uncertain amount of time, he raised his hand slightly, and numerous runes appeared on his body. An invisible force emanated from his palm, enveloping his body surface slowly.
Next, he chanted the spell of the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill, his voice low and powerful. With a finger gesture change, the runes infiltrated his body. His body began to gradually become transparent, like a luminous crystal.
On his body surface, fine blood vessels began to emerge, slowly flowing like tiny rivers.
Xu Mu raised his hand lightly again, a drop of dark yellow liquid appeared in his palm.
This was the blood of the Earth-splitting Whale he had finally refined.
The blood dripped from his palm, landed on his body, and slowly penetrated into his body, beginning to merge with him.
His transparent body seemed like a clear spring, and that drop of blood, like a drop of dark yellow ink, spread rapidly inside his body.
Xu Mu didn’t stop. He continued to chant the spell, allowing the blood of the Earth-Splitting Whale to fully integrate with his body.
Once the blood had finally covered his entire body, it quickly contracted back into a drop, lodged in his heart.
In the same location, there was also a silver droplet of blood.
Xu Mu took a deep breath, absorbing the bloodline power in his heart, and a smile of delight appeared on his face. He knew his fusion was a success.
“Let’s see how much power I have now! Roar!”
Impatient, Xu Mu roared low, his heart began to beat wildly, and his body inflated like a balloon. His blue robe was highly tensed and, soon, with a rip sound, it tore into fragments.
Without the robe covering, bulging muscles and sleek skin came into view, which differed greatly from his previous porcelain-like skin as if a thick layer of whale skin was added to it.
His eyes became deep with dark yellow light flickering in his pupils, his arms transformed into huge fin-like structures, and his legs swelled to the size of a water barrel.
His face, however, didn’t change much, except for his skin turning black, his teeth becoming sharp, and his mouth opening wide back to his head — it looked ferocious and terrifying.
In a short while, Xu Mu had transformed from a human to a terrifying halfman, half-whale creature, several feet high. His scary face, iron-like muscles, and giant body all radiate a suffocating sense of oppression.
It seemed like any slight movement would trigger a devastating force.
Feeling the changes in his body, a wild joy appeared in Xu Mu’s eyes.
The Earth-splitting Whale bloodline did not provide him with any divine skills, but only strength, pure strength to the extreme.
Xu Mu could feel that his current size was not his limit. If it weren’t for the room’s limitation, he could expand by several times more.
Once his body expanded to its limit, the power it would unleash could be a hundred times more than his normal state.
He didn’t know what it felt like to have a hundred times the strength in one punch. All he felt was that he could blow everything to pieces.
Xu Mu clenched his fingers into a fist and waved it lightly. The air immediately made a crackling sound, and the room was filled with violent winds, as if a level twelve typhoon was sweeping through.
Since this was an alchemy room and not a training room, Xu Mu dared not try too hard and quickly restored his original form.
However, his clothes couldn’t be restored and were torn into tatters.
“It seems that I’ll have to order a special set of clothes! I don’t want to fight naked with anyone!”
