Chapter 993 - Better Cultivation Efficiency?

"We should reach the border in about two more days." Jing Luo spoke.
"Yeah, we'll get to check on that destroyed outpost too." Lin Mu said before taking a bite.
There was a large bonfire burning in front of him and floating above it were slabs of meat. They were floating on a grill that was actually a spirit tool!
It was a low grade spirit tool that Lin Mu had found in the spatial storage ring of the cultivator he had killed in the Iron Bull town. It was supposed to be a restrictive spirit tool that could trap someone, but now Lin Wu was using it as a grill.
"This is really convenient, though. I don't need to set up an entire stove, just have it float and ignite a fire below it." Lin Mu spoke while eating.
Jing Luo had been watching Lin Mu eat and didn't know what to say. In the hour of break they've had, Lin Mu had already finished over thirty beasts. And Jing Luo couldn't help but shudder hearing the crunch of bones that came from Lin Mu's mouth from time to time.
"Are you sure you'll be fine eating like that?" Jing Luo couldn't help but ask.
"Yeah. I'm used to it. I need to restore my stores of vitality. I didn't eat for two years after all." Lin Mu replied.
'Still…' Jing Luo didn't speak further.
He looked at the side where a pair of spirit swords automatically moved and butchered beast corpses. There was a pile of such beast corpses next to it and they would get picked up before being butchered and then thrown onto the grill.
This was just three spirit tools working in tandem and Lin Mu could control a lot more now. In fact, he didn't even know what his limit was right now. With his increase in his spirit sense and it getting strengthened, there seemed to be no limit to him.
Lin Mu already had over six hundred spirit tools he had branded with his spirit sense and it wasn't even a quarter of the number of spirit tools and weapons he had in his storage. Only those that were good or had some particular use were branded by him.
Lin Mu continued to eat until all the beast corpses were gone and digested. He didn't even need to assimilate the vitality and spirit Qi from the meat he had eaten, since his body was already used to it.
Plus being having three treasured organs passively boosted his body's metabolism as well. Additionally, having his lungs as the third treasured organ also increased his overall speed of cultivation since it depended a lot on breathing.
With the refined lungs, his efficiency of breathing and absorbing the spirit Qi in the air increased exponentially.
Lin My guessed that it might have been one of the reasons why he progressed so fast while the well of slumber was active. He knew from his past experience that even if the Well of Slumber worked, he would still take at least 10 more years to accomplish the same.
But his lungs became treasured organs sometime before that and ended up boosting the speed at which he cultivated. It was a benefit to him in the end, and he couldn't really complain about that.
In fact, Lin Mu was confident that if he only cultivated, he could breakthrough to the Shell completion stage of the Dao Shell realm in just a month. He wouldn't even need to use the Well of Slumber.
He was mostly done with it anyway now.
'I'll find the right opportunity and breakthrough. Hopefully, we get that between all this chaos.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
Having rested enough, both Lin Mu and Jing Luo replenish their stores of energy and set off on their journey again. They blazed through the skies and didn't stop anywhere this time.
The region they were passing over was filled with beasts and there were barely any human settlements here for around five hundred kilometers. This was also the region which was the most difficult to traverse.
This was exactly why they had chosen to establish an outpost here so that the merchants would be able to save time and get better profits. The goods that were obtained from the Eastern Ming Dynasty could be sold at at least five to six times the price if they were taken through their route.
With the outpost set up near the border, the merchants could basically skip on the entire difficult journey if they belonged to the trusted ones that they allowed through the gates. For all others, they could travel without goods and simply collect them at the outpost.
This was way faster than having to haul the goods with them.
Lin Mu could soon see the vast black expanse in the distance. It was a stark difference from the vibrant green forest and the clear blue rivers.
"So this is the site of explosion." Lin Mu spoke.
"Mmhmm. Even though I've never been heres and only read the report, there is no mistake it is this." Jing Luo replied.
Lin Mu nodded his head and looked around.
"Which direction do you want to start from?" Jing Luo asked.
He knew that they were to search this place and see if they could unearth some clues. With the level of destruction that had happened, they couldn't even figure out where the secret base of the northern tribes was.
But Jing Luo got an answer from Lin Mu he had not expected.
"No need…" Lin Mu spoke.
"Huh? You don't want to search it?" Jing Luo asked, feeling confused.
"I already found it." Lin Mu replied, opening his eyes.
"Already found it? How…" Jing Luo wondered before he understood.
He felt the vast spirit sense moving in the air. The entire time Lin Mu had it spread around this Jing Luo hadn't felt the difference, but now that it actually moved he could perceive it.
'What even is this? Do even Immortal Ascension realm cultivators have such spirit sense?' He couldn't help but wonder.
