Chapter 1099 A Refreshing Experience　　Lin Mu was very interested in finding such plants, but knew that the process would be hard.

”Hmm… they just don’t have to be plants that made spirit Qi. They also have to be conscious like them.” Lin Mu spoke.

”If its that, then the ones you know of in this world are only in the Great Southern Forest.” Xukong replied.

”Indeed… but there is no guarantee they produce elemental spirit Qi.” Lin Mu added.

”That is true. Not just in this world, plants that produce spirit Qi are very rare. And one’s that make their own spirit are even more rare.” Xukong said.

”Wait! Their own spirit Qi? You mean not from the air?” Lin Mu said in astonishment.

”Yes… certain plants can make entirely new spirit Qi that does not stem from the world.” Xukong confirmed.

Lin Mu knew that the elemental spirit Qi the purple sickle amaranth produced didn’t come out of nowhere. Rather, it was transformed by the plant using the attribute less spirit Qi present within the air.

All beings would take spirit Qi from the world itself, whether it be in air, earth or water.

Even in the Lost Immortal’s memoirs, Lin Mu had not come across any such plants.

”But… how’s that possible senior? How can they make it out of nowhere?” Lin Mu couldn’t understand.

”That is just the mystery that the plants hold. Unless you find them and uncover them on your own, there is no way to know.” Xukong replied.

Lin Mu would be lying if he didn’t say he was greatly interested in this.

He silently added another thing to his goals for the future. 

’I’ll surely find a plant such as that later.’ Lin Mu decided.

Lin Mu and Xukong talked a little more about the current matters and plans before he decided to wake up. He reckoned it had been several hours by now.

”Let’s see if Little Shrubby is done or not.” Lin Mu muttered as he closed his eyes in the Sleepscape.

He felt his senses fading away and when they finally returned, he was in the Realm world.

~Huu~

Lin Mu took a deep breath as he recalled all that had happened. It was a refreshing experience for him as not only was he reminded of his mother’s memories from the fragrance of the apple blossoms, got a way to continue his body cultivation, but also got a goal for the future.

He opened his eyes and looked at the beast in the distance. The Dao Shell with the Dao Embryo had already disappeared by now, which was a sign that Little Shrubby had already adapted to his new cultivation base.

~step~step~step~

Lin Mu stood up and walked up to the beast that seemed to be sleeping.

”Little Shrubby?” Lin Mu rubbed his head.

~grrr~

A low voice came from the beast’s mouth, before it lightly shook. His tail moved around as the eyelids twitched.

Then slowly, Little Shrubby opened his eyes.

”Master…” He lightly muttered.

”Congratulation on your breakthrough.” Lin Mu spoke as he lightly scratched the beast’s  ears.

”Mmm….” Little Shrubby enjoyed the scratches for a bit before it finally got up.

”How do you feel?” Lin Mu asked.

”Like I can run across the world nonstop.” Little Shrubby replied.

”Haha~” Lin Mu couldn’t help but chucked but reckoned that it was accurate.

Just from the suppressed aura that Lin Mu could sense within Little Shrubby’s body, he knew the beast had reached a new level. 

”With your bloodlines being strengthened, you should certainly be faster and stronger.” Lin Mu nodded his head.

”I want to see it!” Little Shrubby said with excitement.

”Oh you will,” Lin Mu said as his expression turned serious. “And we have the perfect place to test it out.” He added while gazing out to the south.

…

”Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!” A man wearing the robes of the Zither Wind Sect shouted. “We have to refine all these by the end of this week.” 

”YES ELDER!” The disciples replied in unison while they continued their task.

Hundreds of them were currently working in what looked like a refinement hall. There were various cauldrons, furnaces and many more tools set up here. The disciples worked on them and refined the many materials that were being given to them by other disciples.

Multiple spirit Qi fluctuations could be felt from the hall, as multiple things happened at once.

Such a scene could be witnessed all over the Zither Wind sect, and the entire sect seemed to be very busy. Though the reason behind it was unknown.

The disciples had been working without a break for the past two months and even they didn’t know why it exactly was. At first they had been told it was because they needed to supply the needed resources for the conflict, but now they were not so sure.

”Elder brother, I tallied the shipment logs yesterday and they are too excessive.” One of the disciples that was in charge of noting down the production spoke to the man standing next to him.

The man being called elder brother furrowed his brows and looked at his junior brother.

”Keep your voice low.” He said in a stern voice. “Do you want to get into trouble?” 

~gulp~

The junior brother swallowed his saliva and looked around, making sure that no one was paying attention to him.

”Come with me. We can’t talk here.” The elder brother spoke.

The two of them went to a small room in the hall which was used to store documents.

”Elder brother, why…” 

”I know already.” The man was interrupted.

”Huh?” the junior brother was surprised.

”I’ve been suspecting something was wrong for a while now… the actions of the elders have been extremely absurd. Do you really think our sect, which used to keep to itself and was relatively peaceful for hundreds of years, would suddenly decide to forge an alliance and unleash a war?” The elder brother said.

”That’s… true.” The junior brother nodded.

”We need to be prepared—” Just as the elder brother was about to say something, he was interrupted.

~KABOOM!!!~
