Walker Of The Worlds - Chapter 2064 [Bonus] Growing The Wood Core
Lin Mu had learned about the blood element before and knew that it was one of the derivative elements. It was also not something he had an affinity with, nor something he had used before. But now that it was in front of him, he wanted to see its effects.
~SHUA~
The elemental wisps entered Lin Mu’s body, with the wood elemental wisps going to his liver directly and condensing. The Blood Elemental wisps though, didn’t enter his liver. Instead, they seemingly wandered around his body, having no particular place to go.
Lin Mu watched this and found it to be a bit strange.
‘Is this because I have no affinity?’ Lin Mu thought to himself.
The Blood Elemental Wisp were pure energy and weren’t Qi as such they didn’t enter Lin Mu’s meridians and go down to Dantian like usual. Lin Mu observed them for a while and saw that they just continued to wander in his body without a direction.
~Humm~
That was until, his stomach seemingly awakened and drew the Blood Elemental wisps to it. The wisps responded to it and entered into his stomach, where they were absorbed and continued like many other energies that Lin Mu had consumed in the past.
‘Guess that’s the only place that suits it…’ Lin Mu honestly had no idea what he could even use the blood elemental energy for, thus was fine with it just being stored in his stomach. ‘Perhaps it can be processed by my stomach when needed.’ He reckoned.
Having witnessed this, Lin Mu continued with his work. He checked the wood core and found that just like before, it had increased by ten percent. The core which was the size of a sand grain was now sixty percent bigger than its original size.
‘So this gives a ten percent increase too… if I use more of the Broad Leaf Immortal Nepenthes, I should be able to double the size of the core.’ Lin Mu estimated.
As such, he took out more and more of them and started to consume them using Omnicore Ascendancy.
~shua~shua~shua~
After half an hour, Lin Mu had finished consuming the Broad Leaf Immortal Nepenthes until they had hit their limit. And sure enough, the Wood Core in his liver had doubled in size. It was as big as two grains of sand!
‘It’s still a bit overstatement to call this a ‘core’.’ Lin Mu thought seeing its tiny size.
He estimated that at its current rate, he would need a lot of herbs to progress to a point where his body would benefit from it. At the very least, Lin Mu could tell that there was no change in his affinity with the wood element right now.
“Guess I’ll just have to make do with what I can now.” Lin Mu muttered to himself, and pulled out all the Wood Elemental Immortal herbs he had left.
There were about forty one such herbs, and some of them were only singular in quantity. ~Huala~
A day had passed and Lin Mu had consumed about twenty out of the forty one herbs. All these herbs were at the False Immortal level and were the cheapest ones he had. They also were those herbs which he had plenty of stocks.
“Four times the size.” Lin Mu glanced at the wood core.
Consuming all the herbs had allowed him to double the cores size once more, but Lin Mu also noticed that the growth rate had slowed down once more. No longer was it rising be ten percent with each herb used.
‘The consistency is changing… Which does not hold up to the previous progression…’ Lin Mu furrowed his brows. This wasn’t in his favor of course, but he knew there wasn’t much he could do. The only thing he could do was to continue onwards.
‘Twenty one herbs left… time to start on higher quality ones.’ Lin Mu thought and held a small bunch of grass.
The grass was like fine hair and was collected from none other than the Evergreen Pillars Forest. And the one to collect it was Little Shrubby when he had gone out with the twins to explore. He found this grass growing on the sides of some rocks and found it to be a low tier Immortal herb called as the Lady Mane Grass.
It was a relatively common Wood Elemental Immortal Herb that grew in places with rich Wood elemental Qi. It would grow on top of rocks, planting it’s long roots in the solid rock, eventually breaking it down into fine soil. When this happened, the Lady Mane Grass would reach maturity and flower, creating tons of cotton like seeds that would fly away.
The seeds would land on more rocks and continue the life cycle.
~shua~
Lin Mu absorbed all the wood elemental wisps from it and let it condense in his liver. ‘Five percent increase… Improving the quality helped restore the progression.’ Lin Mu observed.
Feeling better, Lin Mu used more of the Lady Mane Grass and absorbed all of it until he had hit the limit again.
He continued practicing the Omnicore Ascendancy and grew his Wood Core with the other Wood Elemental herbs he had, raising their quality bit by bit.
This was until he finally reached the final herb.
The forty first herb was the best Wood elemental herb that Lin Mu had and was of a high grade. One could make wood elemental immortal Qi pills that could even be useful to Sixth and Seventh Tribulation stage immortals.
“Lanbao only had one of these in their stockpile… Makes sense that the wood elemental herbs are fewer in quantity in the ocean.” Lin Mu looked at the herb which looked like a coral branch.
It was green in color and had lots of holes in it.
It was called a Faux Green Brain Coral. Most would not even recognize it as a herb and think that it was just a coral. It was also very good at containing all of its immortal Qi fluctuations.
