<h4>Chapter 995 - Benefit For The Grey Egg</h4>


    "Huh?" Lin Mu''s attention was quickly pulled towards the ring.


    This was the first time he had felt this sensation.


    ''I can feel the insides of the ring like this?'' Lin Mu was confused.


    Until now, whenever Lin Mu wanted to check inside the ring, he would have to actively look into it to know if there was any change. Or it would be Senior Xukong who would tell him if there was something happening.


    If the change was too big or rted to the ring itself, Lin Mu would feel the ring stir too, and it would inform him directly. But this time, the situation was different. It was as if he felt a calling from inside the ring and not the ring itself.


    "Let''s take a look."


    Lin Mu peered into the ring and his spirit sense appeared where the sensation hade from. This ce was of course, near the Ethereal altar but not exactly from it.


    "The Egg?!" Lin Mu saw.


    <i>~shua~ </i>


    Xukong seemingly appeared next to the egg as well and checked on its unusual activity.


    "Seems like it wants you to take it out." Xukong spoke.


    "Hmm, alright." Lin Mu said before withdrawing the egg.


    Jing Luo watched as a Grey egg appeared in Lin Mu''s hand. He had seen the Egg several times before and always wondered what beast it belonged to. Lin Mu had told him that it was a snake egg but seeing how long it had stayed in the form of an egg confused him.


    ''Is that egg even alive by now?'' Jing Luo wondered.


    <i>~Tremble~</i>


    As soon as the egg appeared in Lin Mu''s hand, it started to trembled. Lin Mu observed the faint movement on it that made it tilt in a certain direction.


    "The crystal…" Lin Mu muttered, and a thought appeared in his mind.


    He brought the egg closer to the crystal and saw the crystal shake as well.


    <i>~SHUA~</i>


    Suddenly, the pale red crystal started letting off wisps of energy from it. Feeling a bit rmed, Lin Mu withdrew his hand back, but the egg seemed to be pulling the energy towards it.


    <i>~WHOOSH~</i>


    The pale red energy started being absorbed into the egg rapidly and the crystal too kept on producing it.


    "What is this energy?" Jing Luo questioned.


    Lin Mu probed it and found it to be unusual. But at the same time, it was a bit familiar to him.


    It felt vigorous like fire or blood, but at the same time different. There wasn''t any ''heat'' of the fire or the ''Vitality'' of the blood in it.


    "Yang Qi?" Lin Mu muttered in wonder.


    "That is indeed Yang Qi… just impure. Simr to those Impure Yin Qi crystals you had found at the Ku Shae ruins and from those beasts." Xukong confirmed.


    "Isn''t this what we were looking for all this time!" Lin Mu eximed.


    Lin Mu had been looking for Yang Qi so that the Egg could be hatched. They had already known that after absorbing a certain amount of Yin Qi, the egg had be satiated and to bnce it out, needed Yang Qi.


    This would speed up the time in which it could hatch and currently its speed was really slow. Even if Lin Mu was giving it Beast Qi, it would still be slow. Besides, Lin Mu hadn''t given the Egg any beast Qi in the past two years, he was asleep.


    So in a way, the egg could be considered to be hungry.


    Xukong reckoned that if Lin Mu had never given the egg beast Qi, it would have not even developed to the point it is now. It would have stayed as it is until it was given Yin And Yang Qi.


    The beast Qi was somewhat acting as a recement, but wasn''t enough for the egg. Actual Yin and Yang Qi were still the best nourishment it could have. Thus Yang Qi was highly desirous for them.

    "That egg is absorbing that? Is that fine?" Jing Luo asked.


    "Yeah… it''s good for it." Lin Mu said, a hint of excitement in his voice.


    The two of them watched as the Egg continued to absorb the Impure Yang Qi from the crystal. It took ten minutes before the Impure Yang Qiing from the pale red crystal, was fully exhausted.


    <i>~kacha~</i>


    The crystal''s color also changed to a pale grey, and cracks appeared on it. The egg stopped trembling and now seemed to be as still as a rock.


    "That''s it?" Jing Luo asked.


    "For now… yes." Lin Mu replied and probed the egg.


    He realized that he was still unable to prate the shell, and it was impervious to his senses.


    "Senior, can you see if you can check the egg now?" Lin Mu requested.


    "Sure. Send it in." Xukong replied.


    Lin Mu ced the egg back into the ring and Xukong tried to check to.


    "No, it still doesn''t work." Xukong said, feeling a bit surprised himself.


    "You can''t sense it either, huh…" Lin Mu wasn''t as shocked.


    He knew that egg was special since it could even elude the senses of Senior Xukong.


    "More like I can''t sense it without harming it. I fear that if I forcefully try to probe it, the egg might die. The shell is protecting it for a reason. Whatever is in there needs such protection to grow and be born." Xukong replied.


    "Hmm… guess we''ll just have to wait till it actually hatches." Lin Mu stated.


    His gaze lingered on the egg for a bit more before he withdrew his senses from the ring.


    "Seems likeing here was beneficial to you at least." Jing Luo spoke up.


    "Indeed." Lin Mu nodded his head and his thoughts went back to the pale red crystal.


    "I wonder what this crystal is? And if we can find more of them." Lin Mu said with a hint of desire.


    "Well… there should be more of them. And we know who would have them.." Jing Luo replied.
