CHAPTER 1276 CALM MONTHS

　　Lin Mu felt the effects of the refinement within his body. 

　　Even though the Liver wasn't fully refined, Lin Mu could already feel the amount of wood spirit Qi in his body increasing. Plus, since the Liver was of the Wood elemental and was representative of life and vitality, it made Lin Mu feel a lot more refreshed.

　　Each of the Treasured organs gave Lin Mu different secondary effects, and the liver was the same. It provided Lin Mu a higher rate of detoxification while also speeding up his rate of digestion.

　　Though the part about digestion wasn't really needed for him with his stomach. It was already beyond a level that could be understood, leaving even Xukong confused as to how it did that.

　　"This is rather nice…" Lin Mu muttered as he sensed the energy stir within his body.

　　In less than six hours he had refined his liver more than he had in the past two years. The feeling of growth gave him pleasure and made him happy. It also helped him forget the intense desire he had been feeling for a while.

　　'If I can keep this pace, I might reach the completion for the Five Treasures realm soon.' Lin Mu thought to himself.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

　　The increase in the wood spirit Qi in the Sleepscape had brought forth a multiplicative effect. Though Lin Mu also knew that the effect of the Wood spirit apples would stop after a certain point, or at the very least slow down to a snail's pace.

　　"At least I know that I can depend on the apples till then. And once I reach that point, I'll just seek out wood elemental herbs or fruits here. This is an Immortal world so there definitely are a lot." Lin Mu said to himself.

　　Lin Mu had even asked Huyun Chuan about this, but the man was not as knowledgeable in this regard. He had mostly cultivated using alchemical pills, but never really dabbled in spirit herbs or their refinement methods.

　　While he did know the names of some common spirit herbs and immortal herbs, they were limited in number. If Lin Mu wanted to know more, he would have to buy a compendium of herbs from one of the many shops.

　　~Sigh~

　　"I'll deal with that when it's time. For now, I need to grow stronger and also guide the Haima tribe in getting stronger." Lin Mu said with determination.

　　He spent a few more hours in the Sleepscape watching Little Shrubby who had turned into a seed as well as reading the memoirs of the Lost immortal. 

　　Reading memoirs were important for Lin Mu right now since they were his biggest source in higher level information from the Immortal worlds. Thus Lin Mu wanted to read as much as possible, and hope that he found some jackpot worthy information within it.

　　By the time the day arrived and Lin Mu woke up, there were already people of the Haima tribe waiting outside his residence.

　　"Oh?" Lin Mu could sense the people outside and opened the door.

　　"Noble Lin Mu! You're awake." The Haima tribe member said with a little surprise.

　　"Yes, I just woke up." Lin Mu replied.

　　"Forgive us for coming here, even though you had said not to. But the elder couldn't help but feel anxious about your condition. He himself came by several times by, but you didn't respond." One of the Haima people spoke.

　　"Yeah, so he just asked us to wait here and inform him if there was any chance." Another person stated.

　　"I see…" Lin Mu replied before looking at their faces, finding them to be nervous.

　　"It is fine. You didn't break any rule coming here." Lin Mu allayed their worries. "As for Elder Niji, I'll head out to meet him now." He added.

　　"O-okay. And thank you Noble Lin Mu." The Haima people spoke in unison.

　　Lin Mu nodded his head, but just as he was about to step out, he heard a sound.

　　~HISS~

　　He turned around and saw the twin snakes calling out to him.

　　~WHOOSH~

　　They jumped from their pillow and wrapped around Lin Mu's arms.

　　"Oh, you two are awake too?" Lin Mu said and felt the emotion coming from them.

　　It was a mixture of hunger and uncertainty. This made Lin Mu realize that it had indeed been a while since they last ate.

　　'I need to feed them too. I was going to head out anyway, so this works out.' Lin Mu thought before leaving the residence and going towards Elder Niji's.

　　The old man was pleased the moment he set eyes upon Lin Mu. Not just that, but he was also surprised when he felt a new feeling from Lin Mu.

　　"We saw the changes and were guessing that you had a breakthrough. But it seems like it really is true." Elder Niji said as the first thing.

　　"Mmhmm… I did breakthrough." Lin Mu acknowledged.

　　"May I ask, what your cultivation base is now?" Elder Niji questioned with curiosity.

　　While he did know of all the cultivation realms and their names, he didn't know what they felt like. Even while having the spirit Qi equivalent to that of a Dao Treading realm expert, Elder Niji didn't have the same senses.

　　"I'm at the Embryo Growth Stage of the Dao Treading realm." Lin Mu answered without hesitation.

　　"AH! That's great!" Elder Niji was even more surprised.

　　"Anything happen while I was in seclusion?" Lin Mu said changing the topic.

　　"The training of the army is going well and our people are getting stronger quickly. Around half of the tribe is now at the Nascent soul realm too." Elder Niji spoke.

　　"Half? That's impressive." Lin Mu knew such a number was enough to outnumber the nascent souls realm experts of any sect of the Xiaofan world.

　　"Not just that, but their skills and battle sense is also growing. We are actually managing to push back the Chasm Beasts that are appearing in greater numbers again." Elder Niji spoke, much to Lin Mu's surprise.
