Lin Mu followed Jing Luo's instructions and placed his hand on the pedestal before pouring the spirit Qi into it. In the very next second, he felt like the entire spirit boat had become his own limb and he could move it freely.

~SHUA~

The spirit boat floated up slowly and reached a sufficient height in the sky.

"I guess we can now head on," Lin Mu said before he began to accelerate.

~WHOOSH~

Little by little, speed increased, and soon they were soaring through the sky.

"WOO!HOO! This is amazing!" King Hong shouted out like a child.

This was his first time flying at such a great speed and it was rather novel to him. To Lin Mu or Jing Luo though, they had flown at a far faster speed than this thus they weren't as amazed.

"The speed isn't as fast as Little Shrubby but it is pretty close to my own top speed." Lin Mu spoke.

"The speed of the spirit boat depends on the one operating it. Since your own speed is high, the spirit boat will also be faster. Though there is a certain limit to the spirit boat's speed as well.

I think a Dao Shell realm cultivator is the limit for it right now. After that, no matter how much spirit Qi one uses for it, it just won't go any faster." Jing Luo explained.

"I see… let's see how far I can push it. I can use more," Lin Mu said, surprising Jing Luo.

"You aren't using it at full acceleration?" Jing Luo asked.

"No, we're at half I think. I was afraid that it might get damaged and thus I held back." Lin Mu said.

"Then try going all in." Jing Luo suggested.

"Okay, I'll do it." Lin Mu said as his expression turned serious.

The spirit Qi in his Dantian flowed out to his meridians and poured into the spirit boat.

~HUM~

Right away, the boat's formation let out a humming sound, showing that they had reached the limit. 

'This should be the top point, now to accelerate.' Lin Mu thought.

"And… GO!" Lin Mu shouted.

~ZOOM~

~Weeng~

The spirit boat lightly creaked as it suddenly accelerated by a large amount. King Hong was pushed back and so was Jing Luo, but Little Shrubby supported them with his body. 

"Oho! This is even faster than my own speed now!" Lin Mu exclaimed.

"It is meant to be like that…" Jing Luo said, finding it a bit hard to talk now.

He could tell that the speed of the boat was now on a completely different level than before. He didn't even know if the boat could actually handle it at this output for long periods of time.

This was after all, a prototype for him. While it may sell as a completed spirit tool in the market, for Jing Luo or just the Jing clan in general, they did not make mediocre goods. Everything they made was built to the limit of the skill that each person had.

With the spirit boat's assistance, Lin Mu and the rest reached the grotto in just six hours. Having reached there, they landed on one of the empty plots of land that was made as a result of Lin Mu and the Troll beast's fight.

"Is this… where you fought that beast?" Jing Luo asked.

"Indeed." Lin Mu answered and then was reminded of something.

"AH! I almost forgot!" Lin Mu said before withdrawing the corpse of the Troll Demon beast.

~THUD~

The corpse fell on the ground with a large thud and highly shook it. Seeing it, both Jing Luo and King Hong were shocked.

"That's one ugly beast." King Hong commented.

"I know, right?" Lin Mu replied.

Jing Luo walked around the corpse and took a deep look. He touched and probed the corpse before his face lit up.

"Can I use it?" Jing Luo questioned.

"Of course. That's exactly why I took it out. It's for you to make something out of it. Its insides are fully burned so all that's left is some bones and the skin." Lin Mu answered.

Jing Luo felt happy with this and hurried to put it in his spatial storage treasure when he ran into another problem.

"What happened?" Lin Mu asked, seeing Jing Luo struggle.

"Umm… I don't think I have enough space left." Jing Luo said.

"Oh, yeah… this is kinda big." Lin Mu agreed. 

He looked at the corpse for a few seconds before saying, "we have some materials in the cave back there. See if you can find something to make a bigger storage ring. I'll keep this with me in the meantime." Lin Mu stated.

"Hmm, that will be good." Jing Luo agreed.

With this little thing out of the way, they went to the grotto that was located between the two broken mountains. Jing Luo and King Hong were once more amazed by the beauty and  mystery of the place.

"So many… So many thousand year old Hong Lin trees… these must have existed since times immemorial." King Hong said.

"Not that long… their growth is also accelerated due to the natural fire attribute spirit Qi in the area." Lin Mu replied.

Upon hearing this, King Hong sensed the spirit Qi in the air and found it to be true.

"This… this is higher than any place I've seen." King Hong said.

"There is apparently a pit of Earth Flames deep below this place. That is what makes this area rich in fire attribute spirit Qi. There are also Earthen Flame ores here that are born due to it." Lin Mu explained.

"A pit of Earth flames? That's really valuable if it can be accessed. I remember the Jing clan once tried to buy an area that contained Earth flames, but before the deal could be finalized the war started.

A lot of spirit tools and weapons that have never been made before can be made with the help of Earth flames.. There are even legendary records stating that they can help make immortal tools!" Jing Luo spoke.
