CHAPTER 300 - A WEDDING INVITATION

Little Shrubby looked pleased after eating the beast core, and Lin Mu could feel the faint waves of spirit qi coming off of its body. They had increased in frequency and were now getting stronger.

"Is he gonna breakthrough?" Lin Mu wondered.

"It won’t be unusual, you have been feeding him spirit beast meat for the past months. With the amount he has eaten, his progress should be quite fast compared to other beasts who have to spend time hunting themselves. Plus, his aptitude along with intelligence has also been raised because of the Dual Circe Ascension fruits.

This beast core should possibly push him into the late stage of the qi refining realm." Xukong replied.

Lin Mu nodded in response and watched the condition of Little Shrubby. After a few seconds, it seemed to have become sleepy and thus went back inside to sleep on the warm bed. Lin Mu went back to preparing the beast corpses and took about an hour to butcher them all. In all, he had obtained about three late stage qi refining realm spirit beasts, four mid stage qi refining realm spirit beasts and five early stage qi refining realm beasts.

Lin Mu especially stored the beast cores separately so that Little Shrubby could get them to eat whenever he wanted to.

’Oh, almost forgot about all the blood...’ Lin Mu remembered.

He then went to the yard and willed for all the spilled blood from the ring to come out. It was as if a dam was broken and a river of blood started flowing.

"Uhh... I may have misjudged the amount," Lin Mu muttered, feeling shocked.

Soon the entire ground of the yard was covered in beast blood. But it didn’t take long for it to be fully absorbed into the soil, leaving behind some stains which showed that blood was spilled here. There wasn’t much of a bloody scent either, as it was soon dispersed by the blowing wind.

Right now, the only place that was left bare of the blood was the two graves of Lin Mu’s parents. Lin Mu shook his head and went back to the bedroom to continue his cultivation.

Lin Mu returned to the routine that he had before. He cultivated and refined the liquid spirit qi and then infused about eighty percent of it into his stomach in order to progress the nameless technique of the lost immortal while storing the remaining twenty percent.

He would then eat as much beast meat as he could and improve the technique further. This also led to an increase in Lin Mu’s body tempering cultivation and he was getting even more closer to the Xiantian Physique.

The day after Little Shrubby had eaten the beast core, he broke through to the late stage of the qi refining realm. Lin Mu didn’t see much change in him except for it getting a bit stronger. He had not seen any change in its speed either. He could have gotten faster, but because he didn’t use its full speed, it was not apparent.

Lin Mu would also go to the forest and hunt down some beasts for him to eat and was able to hunt about sixty five Spirit beasts in total by the end of the week. But even out of all these beasts, not one of them had an awakened bloodline.

Neither was Lin Mu able to find a large number of the same type of beasts so that he could use the alternative method that Senior Xukong had told him of.

Today was the eighth day after he had spoken with Hei Wen and was also the day when he was supposed to receive the answer back from the Lord. It would be good for him if he was able to obtain the beast meat early on, as that would mean he could keep a reserve stock of them when it would be the time to assimilate the bloodline of the great slumber bear.

~Huu~

Lin Mu opened his eyes and let out a breath. He was able to sense that someone was standing outside the gate of his house and knew exactly who it was.

"Looks like Hei Wen got the reply," Lin Mu said before he stood up.

He walked out of the bedroom and walked to unlock the gate. Standing in front of him was none other than Hei Ping, who had been posted near his house and would bring him any messages from the Hei Corps if there were any need for him.

"Senior Lin Mu, the leader has called you. She told me that a letter has come for you." Hei Ping informed.

"Ahh, nice. Right on time." Lin Mu replied before closing the gate on his way out.

Hei Ping nodded and went back to his post while Lin Mu went to the town center. Hei Wen was waiting in her office and an opened letter was lying on the desk in front of her. She noticed Lin Mu walking in and gestured for him to sit down. Content © copyrighted by .

"So, what did the Lord say?" Lin Mu asked.

"As per your request, a year’s worth of beast meat is being shipped to the town as we speak. It should be here in two to three days of time and will be entirely filled with spirit beast meat." Hei Wen replied.

"Also about the other thing that I spoke to you about..." She added after taking a pause.

"You mean about me representing the lord in a competition of some kind?" Lin Mu asked.

"Yes, that. Well... there is a great chance they will be holding it in the next week, so now you know to be prepared and to keep your schedule clear. It will be lasting for about ten days and you are free to stay in Wu Lim city for the entire time.

You also don’t need to pay for anything all the expenses will be taken care of by the Mayor. And... you will also need to attend the wedding so take this as an official invitation to the wedding." Hei Wen answered.
