CHAPTER 2345  RECOVERING

The more Lin Mu and Xukong discussed about it, the more they found it to be likely that the creature they had encountered was an enhanced version of the Yin Heart Puppets.

"I suppose we can now call it a Yin Heart Soul?" Lin Mu said.

"That's suitable." Xukong agreed upon it.

"Now all we need to do is learn more about them and see where they are… I don't think these will be the last of them in the Bridge Plane." Lin Mu spoke with confidence.

Xukong hummed in agreement before returning to silence. With their conversation finished, Lin Mu focused on his companions who were waiting for him to response. His conversation with Xukong had happened in less than two minutes, thus it didn't seem too strange to them.

The simply thought that Lin Mu was focused on checking his body.

"Where are we?" Lin Mu asked noticing that they weren't in the previous location.

They were in a sheltered location and it was not one Lin Mu was familiar with.

"We moved you since your condition was getting bad and we didn't think it would be safe to stay at the previous place." Lady Kang answered. "As for where we are, Little Shrubby found this place some distance from the camp." "I see… Thanks for that." Lin Mu said, as he finally sat up.

"Are you feeling better now?" Daoist Chu inquired.

"A bit tired, but I'll be fine after resting and recovering my energy." Lin Mu answered.

"That's good. We all can take a rest then." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated. "The past several hours have been intense, to say the least." He added.

"Indeed." Monk Hushu agreed, holding the prayer beads in his hand.

"Ah, thank you for your help too, Monk Hushu." Lin Mu couldn't forget the prayer beads that had come to assist. "Amithabha, it is the least I could do." Monk Hushu replied. "Besides, the Prayer beads too wished to help you. They are the ones who suggested me how to help." He revealed.

"Oh?" Lin Mu couldn't help but raise his brows as he glanced at the prayer beads. "It does make sense… What I saw was the Spirit of the Prayer Beads." He muttered.

The physical form of the Prayer beads could certainly not enter Lin Mu's body, but that didn't mean the weapon spirit couldn't do the same. Plus, since it was a Buddhist tool and held no malefic intents, his body didn't reject it.

Not to mention, Lin Mu's body was familiar with Buddhist energy and accepted it quickly. But even if it didn't, it wouldn't have mattered since Lin Mu had been in a rather defenseless state where many things could invade his body.

With all this done, Lin Mu ate a few alchemical pills and began to cultivate. He needed to restore his Immortal Qi, as well as his vitality and the Immortal Essence. The latter would take the longest, thus he kept it for the last and took to restoring his Qi first. The others had also exhausted a part of their energy store, so they too, were doing the same. At the same time, those who still had the remnants of the injury from the maggot were also taking care of it. Thankfully, a few healing pills helped with that too and they didn't have any long term damage.

About Four days passed like this, after which Lin Mu and the others had recovered to their peak.

For Lin Mu, the only thing that still had damage was his Nascent Soul, but it was something that couldn't be healed quickly anyways. He would have to let it heal naturally overtime, or find special alchemical pills or fruits that were good for the souls.

His companions didn't have any such pills, but there was a location that would surely have them.

"We need to head to the Offering Hall again… We need to restock for the new dangers." Lin Mu stated. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

"I agree… if we are to face more creatures like this we'll have to be careful." Elder Hu agreed.

"What was that thing anyways?" Qiao De asked, knowing that it was still not fully resolved.

"That thing was a type of Yin Heart Puppet too." Lin Mu answered.

"What? That didn't seem like it," Qiao De said with surprise.

Ziran too wondered if that was correct, since the characteristics didn't match. But once Lin Mu explained everything to them that he had discussed with Xukong, they finally understood it.

"To think there would be something like this… Do you think it was made by Yao Changying?" Daoist Chu couldn't help but wonder.

After all, this didn't seem like a simple task as just breeding a new beast. This was an entirely new creature made from energy through unknown methods.

"It's definitely that bitch! I know it." Crown Princess Shang's grudge was still the same as always and wouldn't be decreasing any time soon.

"Oh yeah, Crown Princess Shang, would you be able to suppress the Withering Dao again?" Lin Mu asked. "You did make those bracelets before that worked against Yao Changying." He wondered.

~Sigh~

"Unfortunately, it won't work." Crown Princess Shang shook her head. "I used my clan's treasure that allowed me to temporarily wield Wood Dao Insights. I can suppress and expel the Withering Dao's energy from my own body, but I don't think I can carry it out on the same level as before.

Not to mention, that creature was a lot stronger than what Yao Changying had shown back then. Either this is an exception, or she has definitely strengthened." She explained.

"I see… I suppose we'll just seek alternative solutions. At least we know that the wood element and Buddhist techniques are good against it," Lin Mu replied before thinking of something. "The Serene Lotus Buddhist Veil… Won't that be a good counter for it?" he suddenly said.

"I can certainly use it to heal you, but it won't work the same for others." Monk Hushu replied, much to their disappointed.
