2023  Thanking For The Wine

Now that Lin Mu knew, just how he had opened the rift to the Immortal Tribulation dimension, he knew that he wouldn't be caught off guard next time. He also wondered how else he could take advantage of it, but couldn't come up with it at the time. Him being able to open a rift to the Tribulation Dimension didn't seem like an advantage at the moment. It would just end up with him undergoing an Immortal Tribulation and would become work.

'Unless I can open it for others?' Lin Mu thought of a potential use.

If he could open it in a fight, he could very well devastate an enemy or multiple enemies at once.

After all, an Immortal Tribulation would be very dangerous to an unprepared enemy. It could be highly fatal, if Lin Mu managed to unleash it in a critical moment that the enemy could not recover from.

'The only question is how do I do it? And even if I can… how do I practice?' Lin Mu wondered to himself.

Touching any of the Spatial nodes belonging to the Tribulation dimension was a no no. He didn't want another tribulation to fall on his head after all. 'I'll have to figure it out later.' Lin Mu reckoned.

"Did you understand it now?" A voice snapped Lin Mu out of his thoughts.

"Huh?" Lin Mu looked back and saw that it was the Ever Spring Mistress that had spoken.

He had gotten so engrossed in his thoughts as well as talking to Senior Xukong that he had totally forgotten that there were two other people around him.

The Saintess was used to Lin Mu's behavior and as such didn't think much of it. But it was the first time for the Ever Spring Mistress to witness it.

"I said, did you figure out how you managed to trigger an Immortal Tribulation?" She asked, feeling quite curious herself.

"Ah yeah, I did." Lin Mu nodded his head. "And I must thank you for that." He said with gratitude.

"Me?" The Ever Spring Mistress asked, feeling a bit surprised.

"Indeed. If not for the Ichor Essence Wine that you gave me, it would not be possible." Lin Mu nodded his head. "It gave me just the final nudge that I needed to progress." "It did that?" The Ever Spring Mistress was surprised. "But it's supposed to purify your body."

"It is, but it seems like my body used it for something else." Lin Mu shrugged. "I reckon it could also be the path of least resistance. It was easier for the Ichor Essence wine to trigger progress in my Spatial Perception than purify the deep seated impurities. At least for now." He gave his analysis.

"Hmm… I've heard of there being some unique effects for a few people, but this is the first time I'm seeing it myself." The Ever Spring Mistress spoke. "Something like that is only possible for those that already have pure bodies though. Those that have already purged most of the impurities from their bodies." She said in doubt.

"Whatever it might be, we are not doing a repeat of it." The Saintess spoke up. "We definitely cannot have you be drunk again on Ichor Essence Wine to test out the theory." She stated.

"Ah yeah… I don't wanna undergo that again either." Lin Mu replied with slight fear.

While he had managed to breakthrough and overcome an Immortal Tribulation this time, who knows what else he might do next time.

'Though I guess I know of another weakness of mine. Someone could 'poison' me with the Ichor Essence Wine and get me drunk. Then they can ambush me.' Lin Mu thought of a potential scenario.

Of course, whether someone could even afford to do that was highly questionable. Even if they could afford it, they certainly wouldn't be in an Immortal world like the Rust Sky world. It would have to be someone from a higher world. And even then, there was no guarantee one would think of using the Ichor Essence Wine as a 'poison'.

Normally speaking, it was a beneficial resource and one would keep it for themselves rather than giving it to a foe.

Thus, it could be considered a non-issue for the most part. Only an insane person would think of using it as a poison.

With the things sorted out, Lin Mu thought of a few other things.

"Oh yeah, how long are you going to be here, Ever Spring Mistress?" Lin Mu questioned. "Probably a day more." The Ever Spring Mistress answered. "Also, I think they are having a celebration outside." She added.

"A celebration?" Lin Mu raised his brows. ~SHUA~

His immortal sense spread past the courtyard and quickly saw the scene inside the Morning Glory clan.

"Huh… they really are." Lin Mu hadn't expected that. "They're celebrating… The Morning Glory clan becoming a Dukedom!?" he was surprised after learning that.

"It seems like the Emperor is not holding back." The Ever Spring Mistress smiled. "Is this because of Meihua?" Lin Mu asked.

"Of course." The Ever Spring Mistress replied. "It would be unusual if he didn't do something like this," the woman said before raising her hand.

~HONG~

The air stirred upon her act and the cloud barrier surrounding the courtyard faded away. The Saintess had already withdrawn her control and as such, the Ever Spring Mistress could easily do this.

Lin Mu wondered what she was going to do and watched it all.

~SHUA~

He then felt a wave of energy in the air that was a mix of Qi as well as Dao Traces.

"Let's add to their celebration a bit. It is due to my new disciple, after all." The Ever Spring Mistress was fully in the mood to celebrate. Content © 2024.

Lin Mu sensed a surge of Dao Traces spreading from the Ever Spring Mistress's body and covering the entire courtyard within moments. These Dao Traces then transformed into millions upon millions of petals that then rained down onto the entire Morning Glory Clan!
