Chapter 773 - Brood Mane Lion And Hundred Mirror Leopard Bloodlines

"Ahh~ this place is good!" Little Shrubby said as he laid and rolled in the flowers.

Lin Mu smiled seeing it and sat down for a bit as well. The wood attribute spirit Qi was quite high in the area and he could feel himself absorbing it as well.

"I wonder if the other types of elemental spirit Qi will have the same effect as that of the fire elemental spirit Qi, when using it with the boulder collapsing fist." Lin Mu wondered to himself.

"With how flexible the technique is, I won"t be surprised if it really does work. Why don"t you try it out." Xukong suggested.

"Hmm… I guess I can try that after I"m healed up. In the meantime, I may as well try absorbing some Wood Attribute spirit Qi here." Lin Mu said.

Lin Mu and Little Shrubby ended up spending about three days in the meadow and absorbed the wood attribute spirit Qi here. Little Shrubby gained the most of course, and his Fume Wood Panther Bloodline was getting a bit stronger as well.

Lin Mu gave him beast Qi specifically for the Fume Wood Panther Bloodline, so it was steadily increasing Little Shrubby"s affinity with the Fume Wood Panther Bloodline. Though for now, there were no specific changes that had occurred in his body.

The only characteristic that Little Shrubby had right now were those of the Flash Fire Liger and Scorch Claw Tiger. Each of Little Shrubby"s seven bloodlines was powerful on its own and could increase his power greatly.

Though which ones will show the most effects and which ones will give him new abilities were still a mystery. Lin Mu had a hunch that other than the affinity with the different elements each bloodline had, there might be some innate skills Little Shrubby might gain.

In the case of elemental affinity, there was fire, wood, lightning, and Darkness. Having an affinity to two of the Four Heavenly elements was considered rather outstanding already, not to mention some other unique abilities that the Brood Mane Lion and the Hundred Mirror Leopard had.

Lin Mu was currently studying a bit more about those beasts and learned some new things.

"Oh? The Brood Mane Lion is good at controlling and directing beasts of its Pride. They are known to be able to use their Innate skill, "Call of the Brood" to increase the power of the beasts subordinate to it.

I wonder just how much of an increase it can bring. If I do get more beasts in the future, it might come in handy." Lin Mu learned.

"Hmm… I don"t think I"ve heard of Brood Mane Lions that much. While they are indeed strong, they aren"t that astounding either. I guess you can consider this bloodline to be the lowest ranked one amongst Little Shrubby"s seven." Xukong spoke.

"I see… still, having it will be better than nothing." Lin Mu replied.

Lin Mu continued reading a bit more about the Brood Mane Lion and was soon done. In the end, he came to the same conclusion as senior Xukong, while the beast was strong, it was nothing too special.

"Oh yeah senior, what do you know about the Hundred Mirror Leopards?" Lin Mu asked, since he was unable to find much about it in the records he had.

"Hmm… they live in strange worlds called as Mirror worlds and there are very few of them left. Their abilities are strange and sometimes even terrifying to people. They can mimic different Qi skills and techniques while also being able to create clones of themselves.

Not much is known about them because of the worlds they live in. Mirror worlds are hard to access and ones that do manage to enter one are unable to return." Xukong answered.

Hearing this, Lin Mu was very interested. He had not expected this bloodline to have such aspects. He was also curious about the mirror worlds that Xukong had talked about.

"Tell me more about the mirror world"s senior." Lin Mu asked.

"Mirror worlds are in a way replicas of the other worlds. While they are fully functional, they are also Dependant on the other world. They come into existence in mysterious ways, and we still don"t know the exact reason behind it.

Usually, if a world has a mirror world attached to it, nothing unusual happens. But when the borders between the worlds get closer or the beasts in the mirror world get stronger, they may start to cross over to the main worlds.

The Hundred Mirror Leopard is one such beast that has been noted to be like that. It can appear out of mirrored surfaces and s.n.a.t.c.h away humans and other beasts. It is a predator that is hard to catch or even notice.

Many unusual disappearances of people are often attributed to the existence of a mirror world and the Hundred Mirror Leopards.

The Mirror worlds are also rather strange and can exhibit unusual phenomena. These are largely unstudied and only a handful of scholars have actually managed to return from such worlds." Xukong explained.

Hearing all this, Lin Mu felt amazed. He had not expected that there would be something as unique as mirror worlds as well. The more he learned about the universe, the more he understood that what he understood was just a grain of sand in an endless ocean.

This only fueled him to learn more and more while also making him want to see all of those with his own eyes.

"Ah, this should be enough." Lin Mu said as he stood up.

He stretched a bit before looking towards little Shrubby.

"Let"s go." He said.

~roll~

Little Shrubby turned on the ground and stood up as well. Both of them had gained a bit while staying here and their cultivation bases had progressed as well. Lin Mu was inching closer and closer to the Adult Stage of the nascent soul realm.

Plus, he now had an additional pool of spirit Qi in his Dantian and this one was green in color.
