Chapter 547 - Sorting Through The Contents
A herb like the Eight Sigils Chrysanthemum would be priceless even in the top sects. Lin Mu had no idea how one of them turned up here. But looking at its condition he could tell that it had been growing for a long time and had been perfectly preserved in a jade box.
"Doesn't the Flower look a bit different, senior?" Lin Mu questioned.
"Hmm… I guess it does. It has probably been preserved in the box for a long time now and that box is the only thing keeping it alive. Once it dies, its medicinal properties will start to fall as well.
It is one of the spirit flowers that needs to be fresh for them to be useful. That is one of the reasons why they are so hard to find. While they are indeed born in many worlds, finding one that is alive is quite difficult.
Even that box it's kept in is quite valuable and could be considered as a high grade spirit tool. The formations on it are complex enough to form an array and would probably need a formation grandmaster to inscribe." Xukong answered.
"I see…" Lin Mu said before storing the Eight Sigils Chrysanthemum in the ring.
He had no use for it now and even if he wanted to make use of it, he would need the other ingredients of the Twilight Ascension pill, each of which was quite hard to find. Lin Mu actually knew all of them since he had seen the Lost Immortal use one himself.
That is how the lost immortal was able to break through to the Immortal Ascension realm despite his low talent. Lin Mu had read quite far in his memoirs and at the current part the lost immortal was already at the Immortal Ascension realm.
Lin Mu had seen his journey and struggles along the way through his memoirs and felt enlightened. He couldn't help but compare them to his own and find that he had it quite easier than that man.
The Lost Immortals Broken Fate Physique was truly something that was devastating to a person. But despite that, the man had achieved something that billions had been unable to. The respect in Lin Mu's heart for that man was great.
Having put the Eight Sigils Chrysanthemum which was the most eye catching thing in the vault first, Lin Mu went to check the other things that were kept in there. Lin Mu first of all put away the spirit weapons that were in it. They were all high grade spirit weapons but if he compared them to the one's Old Man Jing had, they would still be of a lower quality.
Lin Mu didn't really care about using them as he would need to put his brand on them too. He already had two high grade spirit weapons with him which took up most of his control. He didn't want to add more until he had a better control on it.
Lin Mu knew he could support five high grade spirit weapons on his own right now, so he chose to replace the ones that he had for the Thousand Armament Blade scripture. A few of them had been broken and there were suitable replacements for them here.
The ones that he added were a high grade spirit Axe, a pole arm, and a saber.
Checking the other items, Lin Mu came upon several Alchemical pills that were of high grade. Though there wasn't something he could use now as he would need to store most of these items till the final war with the northern tribes.
He would then return these to the sect so that they could have resources for that. If Lin Mu were to use them up, he would be destroying the foundations of the Tris Cauldron Peony Sect and in turn weakening an ally of the Zhou Empire in the fight against the Northern Tribes.
Wu Hei had told him that he could take some items from the sects but he should not go overboard. Lin mu continued looking and found a few manuals, which had quite a lot of information about Alchemy and pill refinement.
It took Lin Mu over six hours to sort through everything before he was done. He then stored the entire vault back in his ring, not knowing what to do with it now. He didn't leave it here as the vault itself was quite valuable.
"You may as well further progress the mortal strengthening scripture since you have better earth elemental herbs now." Xukong reminded.
Lin Mu remembered it and took out all the earth elemental herbs he had gotten from the herb fields of the Herb peak. He then sat down before stabilizing his condition. Lin Mu checked the pool of earth attribute spirit Qi in his Dantian and saw that it was full.
In the month that he had been in the ring, his body had recovered the spirit Qi that he needed automatically. This was a surprise to him as before he needed to convert the earth attribute spirit Qi on his own manually.
'I guess this is the benefit of having an affinity to the earth element. Just having the technique is enough for it to work automatically after a certain point.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
Back when he had been struck by the tribulation lightning, the armor made by the Mortal Strengthening Scripture was completely destroyed and all of his earth attribute spirit Qi was drained in one go. That was also the reason why Lin Mu had not sustained as many physical injuries.
If it was anyone else, they would definitely be more than just paralyzed due to the Tribulation lightning bolt.
~huu~
Lin Mu took a deep breath and picked yup one of the earth attribute herbs which was in the form of a thick brown stalk. Lin Mu put it in his mouth and chewed on it. His face cringed at the bitter taste but he clenched his fist and completely ate the herb.
As soon as he swallowed it down, the brown glowing armour around him cracked!
