Chapter 1245 Devising New Methods From Old
The breakthrough of six Haima Tribe members was enough to shake the entire broken chasm. The spirit Qi waves spread across the tribe, and were felt by everyone. Even the children had felt them since they too practiced the breathing method.”Perfect.” Lin Mu said after seeing them succeed.
He had gathered enough data from this that he would be able to tune the experimental technique further. Another thing he also figured out from this was how to get the others who already had spirit Qi equivalent to the Nascent soul realm and above to breakthrough.
’I’ll have to see which path works the best.’ Lin Mu thought to himself while the Haima tribe members were taken back to their residence.
These were the last of the experimental group thus Lin Mu didn’t need to watch over any for now.
”When do you want me to prepare the next group noble Lin Mu?” Elder Niji inquired.
”Hmm… I’ll tell you the exact date later, but it will be at most in a month’s time.” Lin Mu replied.
”Alright. There’s also a chance that we might get to practice on the surface.” Elder Niji stated.
”Indeed… the Chasm Beasts are mostly gone now. Though we don’t know if they’ll return after the clouds dissipate.” Lin Mu agreed.
Due to the constant presence of heavenly tribulation clouds as well as the lightning strikes, the Chasm Beasts had returned to the Broken Chasm. Lin Mu and Elder Niji both had observed on the mirrors how the Chasm beasts tried to challenge the clouds and were killed.
From this, Lin Mu had all but confirmed that the lightning was a weakness for the Chasm Beasts. Though he didn’t exactly know if it was all kinds of lightning or just the heavenly tribulation lightning.
Regardless of that, knowing this was a great gain for the tribe. Even if they couldn’t apply it right now, it didn’t mean they wouldn’t be able to do this later.
For now though, Lin Mu returned to his residence and slept for a night. He needed a clear and well rested mind to analyze the coming few things. He didn’t even enter Sleepscape for this and truly had a full nights sleep.
The next day though, Lin Mu went fully into analyzing all that he had observed while also making multiple smaller experiments at the same time. He would call Haima members from time to time, and ask them to practice something while he observed their Qi circuits.
Little by little, he was progressing and the experimental cultivation technique was getting optimized. Plus, since this was Lin Mu’s first time making an entirely new cultivation technique, he was learning a lot about his own cultivation, too.
The number of insights he gained from this was similar to the number he got from Xukong. Sometime it was even higher. He could feel his own foundation of cultivation getting stronger too and his perception became clearer.
Ten days later, Lin Mu finally devised a stable method for the stronger members of the Haima tribe to breakthrough.
”Can’t belive something from the Northern Tribes would come in handy here…” Lin Mu said as he continued to write in the air.
The method that Lin Mu ended up coming up with was in a way to dissipate the cultivation of Haima tribe members. For any normal cultivator, this would be very bad and their hard work would all go to waste.
But in the case of Haima tribe members, it wasn’t the same.
Because they never cultivated a cultivation technique in the first place, they couldn’t be subjected to the same methods. Dissipation of cultivation was different from crippling, as crippling often involved the destruction of Dantian and meridians.
Lin Mu didn’t want that, and it would be the opposite of what he was intending to do.
Since the Haima Tribe people only had spirit Qi equivalent to the amount that other cultivators had and no abilities like this, all Lin Mu needed to do was seal their spirit Qi. And the method to do this came from the Northern tribes.
It was none other than the Spirit Sealing Array that the northern tribes had used to suppress the army of the alliance in Xiaofan world. Of course, something on that scale wasn’t what Lin Mu would be able to set up here.
Not only did he lack the detailed method of making the formation array, he also didn’t the materials needed for it. But what he did have was the information he had taken from Ku Waowen a long time ago.
There was a method of making a small scale version of the Spirit Sealing Array. But even this wasn’t something that suited Lin Mu’s needs exactly. He would need to modify it in such a way that it would only restrain the spirit Qi that a cultivator already had in their bodies and not the spirit Qi in the air.
’As long as it works, the spirit Qi that the Haima members have can be restrained and they can breakthrough to the Nascent soul realm the traditional way. Once that is done, the seal can be lifted and their preexisting spirit Qi can be integrated, thereby speeding up their rate of cultivation.’ Lin Mu finalized his draft.
~shua~
The last rune was written in the air, and it quickly joined the others in a line. The runes resonated with each other and the spirit Qi in the air thrummed. Lin Mu then took out a jade slip and held it up to the air.
~whoosh~
All the runes floating in the air rushed into the jade slip, securing the data for later.
~huu~
Lin Mu let out a breath of relief and stretched his fingers. He’d been using the air as a writing board and his fingers as a pen for a long time now. They now needed some well deserved rest.
About eight hours later, Lin Mu felt a lot better. “Time to get it started then…”
