Chapter 1975 Test On The Bird

Beast Qi had profound effects on beasts, and Lin Mu had used it several times.

With how extensively he had fed Little Shrubby and the twins, the changes and their strength were quite apparent.

Lin Mu also continued to feed them the Beast Qi from time to time, which didn"t have as much effect on them now but there were still some long term benefits. He reckoned since there was no harm in doing that, he could simply continue to do so. He also hoped that there would be a transformation effect eventually once a large enough amount of Beast Qi was consumed.

Or that the beasts needed to reach a certain level for the Beast Qi to have any more effects.

Lin Mu had tested this out in the past with Little Shrubby, and knew that they couldn"t strengthen anymore of his bloodlines. They simply did not respond to it, as if they had reached a state of saturation.

Though Xukong had told Lin Mu that it was merely a matter of what Little Shrubby"s body could handle and that it should eventually improve.

Till then, it was totally fine to continue using the Beast Qi.

After all, Lin Mu had an abundance of Immortal Qi and it didn"t really affect him much using it.

"I used it on the three who already had a great potential. I should try and see what kind of effect it has on a beast that had its potential reduced by the bloodline mutation instead." Lin Mu thought to himself.

It was a reasonable experiment, and was spurred by Lin Mu"s curiosity with the bloodline of the tiny Snow Stream Sparrow.

He also knew that it wouldn"t harm the beast, so it was fine to do so.

After all, most beasts went crazy after Beast Qi.

They would seek any source of it, and would look to nurture themselves. But Lin Mu could do the same on a mere whim. The Saintess heard Lin Mu"s words and knew that he had this ability. It was certainly an astonishing ability for a human to have according to her, but knew that it was one of Lin Mu"s secrets.

And as such, she hadn"t pried into it much.

"I don"t see why not." The Saintess replied. "It should work to help the bird." She added.

"Alright." Lin Mu said and chanted the Nurturing Heart Sutra.

Its chants could be heard in the area and caused the tiny Snow Stream Sparrow to stare at him with great interest. The Sutra was such that it could attract beasts after all.

Thankfully they were at the edge of the forest, and as such, none of the beasts were attracted. Plus, Little Shrubby and the twins had already made most of the beasts run away from their presence.

In addition to that, they had also been hunting several beasts which had made them vary and keep their distance.

They now knew that there were new predators in the Evergreen Pillars Forest that could easily get rid of them all. ~humm~

The Nurturing Heart Sutra worked and the immortal Qi within Lin Mu"s Dantian started to be converted into Beast Qi. Of course, since this was the first time he was giving it to the tiny Snow Stream Sparrow, he did not wish to overdo it.

It was still at the Dao Sh.e.l.l realm, and would not be able to take too high of a dose. It would still take a while to digest it all, and as such, Lin Mu only made an amount that would be needed.

~shua~

A short while later, it was done and Lin Mu drew out the string of Beast Qi from his Dantian. It hovered around his fingers and immediately caught the attention of the Tiny Snow Stream Sparrow.

Its eyes were locked onto it and wouldn"t move at all.

~CHIRP~CHIRP~CHIRP~

The bird quickly chirped in great excitement and couldn"t hold itself back from flying towards the string of Beast Qi.

"Here you go. Eat well." Lin Mu said and released the string of Beast Qi for the bird.

The tiny Snow Stream Sparrow opened its mouth and immediately sucked the beast Qi string. It entered its body and was quickly absorbed into it.

~shua~

Lin Mu used his immortal sense to check the condition of the bird, and saw that the beast Qi was affecting all the cells of the bird already. They seemed to be throbbing with excitement and the same was happening to the Qi inside its Dantian.

~CHIRP~

The Snow Stream Sparrow let out one last chirp, before closing its eyes and sitting down.

"It should start a.s.similating it now." Lin Mu muttered.

"With its size and cultivation base, the bird will take some time to fully utilize it." The Saintess spoke. "Are you going to head to that clan there?" She asked, looking at the Morning Glory Clan in the distance.

Lin Mu thought about it and shook his head. _???????.???

"Not right now." Lin Mu denied. "I need to make sure some things are fine before that." He said, remembering the hunger had returned.

Even if he had already eaten the Evergreen Pillar Bamboo earlier and the hunger had gone, it was now starting to make a comeback.

It had almost been fifteen hours and it showed that he needed food again.

Of course, the Evergreen Pillar bamboo he had consumed earlier was not enough, and he would need more food. Meat in particular, as the bamboo didn"t exactly have the nutrition needed for his stomach to calm down.

"Little Shrubby, have you finished gathering the beast meat?" Lin Mu asked.

"Yes, I have lots of them." He confirmed.

"Great, let"s have a large meal first. I am very hungry again." Lin Mu answered.

"Alright! Let"s go to a place we found before. We were staying there earlier." Little Shrubby stated, while the twin snakes nodded.

"Alright, show us the way." Lin Mu said and went along the three beasts.

The Saintess too followed with them for now, but she momentarily looked to the west before looking away.

"Strange."
