CHAPTER 317 - ANOTHER GOAL ACCOMPLISHED!

~Meow~

Lin Mu was woken from his cultivation session by a voice which was none other than Little Shrubby. It had been bumping against his back trying to wake him up but because of Lin Mu being deep in focus, he didn’t react at all.

"What do you need?" Lin Mu asked as he woke up.

He then saw it pointing towards a place in the room. Lin Mu saw that this was the place where he had kept all the beast cores for Little Shrubby to eat.

"Huh, you finished all of them?" Lin Mu asked, feeling a bit surprised.

~Nyaa~

Little Scrubby coyly acted, asking for more of the beast cores. Lin Mu did not mind it and went and put more beast cores for Little Shrubby to eat.

’When did I put the beat cores last?... He ate ten beast cores in four days?’ Lin Mu remembered.

He then used his spirit sense to look at Little Shrubby and realized that the spirit qi fluctuations coming off of it had increased by quite a lot over the past few days. He checked little Shrubby’s own beast core and estimated that it was actually half way through the late stage of the qi refining realm.

"Merely weeks and he’s already starting to catch up..." Lin Mu muttered with a wry smile.

"Of course it would catch up. What else did you expect? Perhaps even the disciples of a sect would not have the same level of resources that it gets. Endless spirit beast meat, beast cores, all on top of the effect of a few dual circle ascension fruits. Even a common pig would become an expert at this rate." Xukong joked.

Lin Mu chuckled and got up, taking out the beast meat for his practice. Lately, he was feeling a change in the technique and could sense that his stomach was reaching a limit.

~Gulp~

Lin Mu finished the last bite of a fully roasted beast corpse when he felt it.

"Is it finally time?" Lin Mu wondered and closed his eyes.

The grey net made out of the obscure patterns had appeared once again, but this time another layer was being added to it. Previously it had two layers, of which the first layer was the most dense and looked like a coat of grey skin. The second layer was much less dense and had wide gaps in between it.

That second layer had also become similar to the first layer and formed a close-knit skin onto the surface of the stomach. Finally, a third layer was rapidly forming and the obscure patterns kept on linking up, forming into threads that then wove to form the net.

An hour quickly passed and the process finally completed.

~Shua~

A wave of energy was released from Lin Mu’s body as his hair moved with it. His hair had grown quite a bit over the months and was now up to his shoulders. He didn’t really mind it and decided to keep it, not wanting to cut it.

The wave of energy passed through his body, bathing his cells and filling them with vigor. Lin Mu felt extremely comfortable and sensed that the conversion of his body’s cells into the Xiantian physique cells was sped up.

Previously it was at ten percent but now it was rapidly approaching twenty five percent. Lin Mu reckoned that if this pace was kept up, he could even reach one hundred percent conversion soon.

Another hour passed and the wave of energy finally subsided. Then Lin Mu felt something he had not felt for a while- it was the absence of hunger.

Ever since Lin Mu had started practicing the nameless technique of the lost immortal, he had been feeling hungry all the time. Even if his appetite had been satisfied for a bit, it didn’t mean that it was his limit. He could still keep on eating if he so wanted.

But today for the first time he did not feel like it.

"Is this it?" Lin Mu wondered.

He scanned his body from the top to the bottom and witnessed the change in the physiology of his stomach. His stomach which should have originally been reddish-pink normally had changed to become a strange grey with countless obscure patterns crawling over it.

"This is weird..." Lin Mu muttered, finding the appearance of his stomach to be a bit gross.

’Let’s test it out, have I really achieved it?’ Lin Mu thought.

He took out more beast meat and tried to eat. He finished one of the cooked beasts and realized that there was no change in his appetite. He ate another and there was no difference again.

Three beasts...

Four beasts...

Five beasts...

After an entire five beasts had been finished off, Lin Mu confirmed that he had truly reached a proper level of proficiency with the nameless technique of the lost immortal. Content held by .

"AHAHA!" Lin Mu laughed in joy, "finally it is done."

The fear that he would be unable to accomplish his goal was looming over Lin Mu’s head for quite a while. And now that he had finally done it, an almost incomprehensible level of relief washed over it.

But that was not the end.

~Shua~

It was as if a dam had broken in Lin Mu’s body or perhaps it was a restriction which had been placed subsections by him, an even stronger wave of energy was released from his body. This wave of energy imbued hi cells and increased the pace of their conversion by even more.

25%

30%

40%

50%

75%

90%

95%

Finally, it seemed like the accumulated energy had reached an impasse and the covering of the cells into Xiantian physique cells had reached near completion. It would only take him another small push, and Lin Mu’s body would have fully been converted into a Xiantian body.

~Phew~

Lin Mu let out a breath and took a look inside. The power contained in his body, it was as if each and every single inch of his body’s tissues were packed with hidden strength.
