CHAPTER 315 - REFINING THE TRUNK FACED COW'S AWAKENED BLOODLINE

Lin Mu returned to his room after having told Hei Wen of what had occurred a little while ago. She was shocked, to say the least upon hearing it, but then her expression turned serious after that. She simply told Lin Mu that she will inform him if anything happens or if that man is found.

Lin Mu returned to his house after that, seeing that everything would be handled. He now had the most important task of practicing the method that was used to refine the awakened bloodline.

"How do I start then, Senior Xukong?" Lin Mu asked.

"First, you will need a large container for the blood," Xukong spoke.

"Blood?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Yes, the blood of the beast. The entire beast is required in order to prepare the bloodline. You need a large container in which you will be draining the blood of the Trunk faced cow. Then you will be creating some formations which I will instruct you on." Xukong answered.

Lin Mu nodded and took out of the large barrels he had bought long ago. He then took out the corpse of the trunk faced cow and slit its throat, letting all the blood spill into the barrel.

"While the rest of the blood collects into the barrel, you can use the amount that is in it to make the formation runes." Xukong instructed.

Lin Mu dipped his fingers into the blood and drew the formations runes onto the floor of the room. Lin Mu would have preferred not to make a mess in his room, but he couldn’t actually draw this any place else and certainly not on the soil, thus this was the only choice.

Xukong kept on speaking and showed him how to move his fingers to write the runes. There were different kinds of runes, most of which Lin Mu could not understand. The runes included some in the common tongue and some in the Dao script. There were even some other runes that Lin mu had no idea which language they were from.

Still, Lin Mu did not question it and just kept on writing as he knew that it was not the time and he should simply focus on finishing this task. He knew that there was still a chance of failure and if he really wanted to succeed in obtaining the bloodline of the great slumber bear, he had to be sure.

About an hour passed by, after which Lin Mu had finally finished writing all of the runes.

"What’s next Senior?" Lin Mu asked as he wiped the sweat off his brow.

"Now place the corpse of the trunk faced cow in the very center of the formation. Then divide the blood that you drained from it into three parts and place them in the three empty sections in the formation." Xukong spoke.

Lin Mu took out three small containers and split the blood into three parts and placed them according to where senior Xukong had instructed.

"Now comes the most difficult part, you need to release the bloodline from the beast core of the trunk faced cow." Xukong spoke in a serious tone.

~Gulp~

Lin Mu swallowed his saliva and withdrew the beast core from the ring. Xukong started speaking in his mind about what to do and he tried to repeat that, which was quite difficult as Lin Mu was failing a few times at every step.

This was the first time he was actually doing something like this purely using his spirit sense, thus it was no wonder that it was difficult. Xukong had told Lin Mu to sense certain points in the beast core, which was quite difficult due to how dense the beast core was.

The sheer amount of spirit qi condensed in it made it difficult for Lin Mu to observe it with his spirit sense and thus took him multiple efforts to even be able to enter it. But once he did, he was able to find the first point that he needed to unlock.

Lin Mu could see that there were dense nets of spirit qi in the beast core that formed complex shapes, and within the joints of these shapes were the points that Lin Mu needed to unlock. After six attempts, he was finally able to unlock the first point.

But this was only the start, and there were many more to come.

In all, Lin Mu ended up unlocking forty two points in the beast core which took him over eight hours. This was quite taxing on Lin Mu’s mind and he was feeling extremely tired mentally. Even if his vital energy or spirit qi had not been used as much, it was still exhausting.

But as soon as the final point was unlocked, Lin Mu could feel the change in the beast core.

"MOOOOO"

A loud cry of the trunk faced cow was heard. If it were not for the illusory formation that Lin Mu had placed on his house, the neighbors and guards would have definitely been alerted. The beast core then started glowing and Lin Mu could see the faint figure of the trunk faced cow moving around inside of it.

"You have to be quick now, or there is a chance the beast core may explode," Xukong warned. Content © copyrighted by .

~Huu~

Lin Mu took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his exhaustion. He roused his vital energy and spirit qi, making him refreshed again.

"Now you need to put the beast core on top of the beast corpse, and then you will need to manually guide the process using your spirit sense." Xukong instructed.

Lin Mu did as he was told and placed the beast core on the corpse. As soon as he did, the formation runes he had carved on the ground lit up and floated up. The three containers of blood that he had placed in the formation also started floating and the blood came out of them.

The blood formed into three ribbons that started wrapping the beast corpse while the beast core released a bright light.
