<h4>Chapter 548 - Gravity Of The Situation </h4>


    Lin Mu was already at the edge of the next level of the Mortal strengthening scripture and thus even eating this one herb was enough to push him to the next level. But it was not enough to fullyplete the process.


    While the brown armor was cracked, it would take more earth attribute herbs to reform it. Lin Mu thus picked up another earth attribute herb which was a flower with six petals. Each petal was curled up as if it was shy and a small cloud of earth attribute spirit Qi surrounded it.


    Lin Mu put it in his mouth and chewed, spreading the juices in his mouth. Unlike the bitter root he had eaten before, this flower was slightly sweet in taste but overall it was nd. This eased Lin Mu’s expression as he swallowed it downpletely.


    <i>~Shua~</i>


    The medicinal properties surged through his stomach as they were taken up by his meridians under the guidance of the Mortal Strengthening scripture. The earth attribute spirit Qi seeped out of his skin, forming into a newyer.


    Thisyer was very thin, as if it was silk. It was still brown but its color had gotten a bit lighter. If it was brown like soil before, now it was light brown like y. It also didn’t have any patterns on it.


    It looked very in, as if someone had painted ayer on Lin Mu’s skin. Theyer kept on growing in thickness as more and more earth attribute spirit Qi kept on pouring in it. Lin Mu thought he had already reached the fifth level of the Mortal strengthening scripture, but now it seemed different.


    "Senior, is it supposed to be like this?" Lin Mu questioned.


    "Different people have different effects with the mortal strengthener scripture. Since you already have an affinity to the earth element, I think the skill is needing more earth attribute spirit Qi to make it better.


    You already have plenty of earth attitude herbs and pills, you may as well use them and see the effect." Xukong suggested.


    Lin Mu nodded his head and reckoned that it was fine. He thus started to eat more of the earth attributive herbs one by one. The more of them he ate, the thicker theyer got. It reached a point where theyer was over six inches thick! Lin Mu couldn’t even be seen beneath it, and it seemed like someone had covered him in a mound of y.


    Once Lin Mu ran out of all the earth attribute herbs, he got to the alchemical pills. Now there were many pills in this. Most were of a lower quality than the Dark Soil pill that Lin Mu had eaten before, but there were seven pills that were of the same quality as that of the Dark Soil pill!


    Lin Mu first finished off the lower quality pills and saw that the brownyer was now starting to condense. A strange gravity like force emanated from Lin Mu’s body as it started to pull on theyer.

    <i>~DENG~ </i>


    <i>~DENG~ </i>


    Each time theyerpressed, it was as if someone was hitting a bronze bell. When Lin Mu had finished all of the lower quality pills, the thickness of theyer had been reduced by half and was about three inches thick now.


    Lin Mu then looked at a set of pills that were kept in individual bottles. Each of these pills was equivalent to the Dark Soil pill and were immensely powerful. Usually, a Nascent soul realm cultivator or higher would use them, but here was Lin Mu, about to eat them like candy.


    He put the first pill in his mouth, which immediately melted and swallowed down. His body quickly got to absorbing it and assimting it ording to the Mortal Strengthening scripture. Unlike before when Lin Mu had eaten the Dark Soil pill, the reaction was not as strong.


    The brownyer started to shrink again, but this time at a snail’s pace. Seeing that it was not having a strong enough effect, Lin Mu popped another pill.


    <i>~Weeng~</i>


    The sound of metal bending could be heard as Lin Mu suddenly felt his body being attracted towards the earth. He managed to keep himself from toppling but had to spend a bit of energy. Lin Mu reckoned this would only get difficult as he went ahead.

    Thus he thought of doing something crazy.


    <i>~pop~pop~pop~</i>


    He opened all of the vials and ate six pills at once!


    Thick Earth Attribute spirit Qi leaked out of his pores due to the sheer amount that was coursing through Lin Mu’s body. His meridians were under great pressure and so was his Dantian.


    In his Dantian, a unique scene could be seen. His liquid spirit Qi which was like a wide sea, became tainted with the brown earth attribute spirit Qi. It was as if the water had suddenly be muddied like during a flood and a scene of chaos was spread.


    Lin Mu’s cracked core spun automatically, trying to stabilize the condition.


    The gravitational pull that Lin Mu was feeling suddenly multiplied threefold and his robes got pulled down straight. His hair was also stretched taut and it looked quiteical. The earth attribute spirit Qi which was leaking out of Lin Mu’s pores, was being pulled back into his body due to the gravitational force and pushed on the brownyer further.


    <i>~DENG~</i>


    Another loud sound of a bronze bell ringing was heard as theyerpressed by half. It was now at one and a half inches.


    <i>~DENG~</i>


    The force pushed it more and it reached a thickness of one inch. By now the gravitational force that was pulling on Lin Mu was not just acting on him, but in the area of over ten kilometers around him.


    Though it was only a fraction of what it was on him.


    Many birds that were flying around suddenly found themselves falling out of the sky as their bodies became like lead. Other animals that were galloping stumbled and fell to the ground due to suddenly finding it hard to move.


    Many such scenes were seen in the forest which shocked the animals and made most of them scared.
