Chapter 704 - Clarifications

Hearing that Lin Mu and Jing Luo were looking for thousand year old Hong Lin wood as well, the two disciples were surprised. They even felt that they might have a little bit of a compet.i.tion when it came to that now.

"Senior wants thousand year old Hong Lin Wood as well? Why?" Hua San questioned.

"Well, not thousand year old Hong Lin Wood itself. Jing Luo needs the sap of thousand year old Hong Lin trees, while I need the actual living tree." Lin Mu explained.

"Ah, I see." Hua San said, feeling a bit relieved.

He thought at least this way they wouldn't have a complete clash.

"Though getting thousand year old Hong Lin tree sap would be difficult. It can only be extracted when the tree is alive and even then it is quite hard to keep for long periods of time.

I don't think even the Hong Lin kingdom has any in storage." Hua San spoke.

"Yeah, I guessed that. That's why we prefer finding an actual living tree." Lin Mu replied.

"Hmm.. But why does senior need a living tree? Are you going to make something from it as well?" Hua San asked.

"I don't want it for making anything. Rather, I want it for a cultivation technique I practice." Lin Wu informed.

"Oh? That's something I didn't know was possible." Hua San spoke, feeling truly surprised.

"Are there even cultivation techniques that use it? What are they even used for?" Hua Wu asked.

"Well, it's a fire elemental cultivation technique and as you may know the Hong Lin trees are abundant in fire attribute spirit Qi. While I can use hundred year old Hong Lin trees as well, as my technique progresses further, I'll need at least one thousand year old Hong Lin tree to complete it." Lin Mu explained.

He didn't really feel uncomfortable telling them about this, since they couldn't really do much with it. Even if they knew that it was a body cultivating technique, they would be helpless as they would have to first complete all thirteen stages of the body tempering realm and obtain a Xiantian physique before they could even begin with the Five Treasures realm.

When the first king of the Hong Lin empire made their technique, he had only made it as a body tempering realm technique, which switched to a normal Qi cultivation technique when one reached the eighth stage of the body tempering realm.

This same technique would allow them to absorb spirit Qi from the trees and boost their speed of cultivation. This was a fire element spirit Qi cultivation technique and would allow the cultivator to get fire elemental spirit Qi for use.

Lin Mu though, could not use the spirit Qi aspect of this technique since he didn't cultivate spirit Qi directly using a cultivation technique. Senior Xukong had told him to continue following the primordial path, and that was what he was doing.

Lin Mu absorbed spirit Qi naturally with the pathways he had learned himself and they were the most appropriate for him. Naturally, he would not switch to a cultivation technique that was inferior and had a slower speed.

Thankfully, Lin Mu was merely using it for five treasures realm cultivation and didn't really care for the spirit Qi aspect.

"Hopefully we are able to find them so senior can practice his cultivation technique." Hua Wu stated.

"Mmhmm… I think if we look long enough we will find it." Lin Mu said.

This was true since it was only a matter of time till they found a thousand year old Hong Lin tree. With Little Shrubby manually looking around at his speed, it was quite likely for them to find it.

If needed, Little Shrubby could literally scan every inch of the Hong Lin forest to find some thousand year old Hong Lin trees. Lin Mu had currently refined 43% of his heart and needed a lot more before he could reach the peak.

He knew that eventually, he would need a Thousand year old Hong Lin tree as every use of a hundred year old Hong Lin tree, lesser the amount of vital essence that was obtained by him.

While the normal Hong Lin trees won't even make a difference. The normal Hong Lin trees that were younger than hundred years were only useful for cultivators that were in the Body tempering realm.

"By the way, have you two chosen a location for the tribulation attenuation platform, or perhaps the king has chosen one?" Jing Luo questioned.

"No, he hasn't specified anything. They only told us that they want one. I reckon they should be fine with any place as long as it has a tribulation attenuation platform. They can't really be choosy with the location since even a single use Tribulation attenuation platform has very specific requirements." Hua San answered.

"I see…" Jing Luo muttered, not telling them that he could make one essentially anywhere to save him some work.

"How about this mountain itself?" Jing Luo asked after thinking for a bit.

"It would actually be quite good!" Hua San said. "Not only does senior have the other illusory formations set up, the location is also distant enough that the entire session should be a bit private."

"Indeed. I'll get to working then. You guys can talk with Lin Mu and do other things." Jing Luo replied.

"Oh yeah! Speaking of the king, we would like to meet him as well." Lin Mu spoke.

"Meet the king?" Hua San asked.

"Why would you want that?" Hua Wu felt a bit confused.

The two of them thought that Lin Mu and Jing Luo were intentionally concealing themselves from the king and that's why they were here so far away.

"For the same reason that I wanted to talk with Sect master Hua… Gu Yao. We'd like to inform them and see if they are willing to join our cause. Plus… I'd like to clarify some things with them as well.." Lin Mu explained.
