<h4> 1318 Examining Immortal Taegu </h4>


    Lin Mu had long since been interested in searching through an Immortal’s body. But before this he had never had a proper chance.


    The Immortals that he had encountered before were either too strong, like that strange indigo woman in the lesser void, or were close to death like the immortal they found dying in the Land of Exile.


    And now Lin Mu had the perfect candidate in front of him.


    Immortal Taegu was someone who had recently entered the Immortal realm and had ovee his very first Immortal Tribtion. This gave Lin Mu the best chance to observe the changes that happened in one’s body after bing immortal.


    The first thing that Lin Mu encountered was a new type of Qi.


    It was none shorthand Immortal Qi!


    “So this is Immortal Qi... Truly different...” Lin Mu muttered to himself.


    Previously he had only refined Four Treasured organs in terms of body cultivation and Dao Treading realm in the Qi cultivation. Thus even if there was Immortal Qi around, he would be unable to sense it.


    But once one was in the Immortal Ascension realm one would have the chance to sense Immortal Qi.


    In fact, this was one of the requirements to bing an Immortal and breaking through to the Immortal Realm. Once one sensed Immortal Qi and absorbed even a sliver of it, they would turn into a False Immortal.


    And only when they overcame their first Immortal Tribtion would they be a true Immortal Realm cultivator.


    While Lin Mu’s Qi cultivation was still in the Dao Treading realm, his body cultivation was the equivalent of Immortal Ascension realm. And not just that, but the very peak of Immortal Ascension realm.


    Thus while Lin Mu still wouldn’t be able to sense the Immortal Qi in the air, it it was contained in some object, or vessel, he would be able to observe it.


    And that was what he was wanted right now.


    Flowing within Immortal Taegu’s meridians were wisps of Immortal Qi.


    ‘Still isn’t this too low?’ Lin Mu wondered.


    Having looked through the man’s meridians Lin Mu learned that a majority of Immortal Taegu’s Qi was still Spirit Qi. The Immortal Qi that he had was barely a fraction of it.


    If Lin Mu were to estimate it, they Spirit Qi was about 95% of his total Qi and Immortal Qi was just 5%.


    ‘No wonder he was letting of spirit Qi fluctuations despite being an immortal. Even an Immortal will mainly use spirit Qi since the amount of Immortal Qi they had would be less. I reckon they only use the Immortal Qi when they absolutely have to.’ Lin Mu analyzed.


    While he didn’t know the exact conditions or times to use the Immortal Qi, he could somewhat derive more from the older information he had.


    Lin Mu looked at Immortal Taegu, making the man tremble.


    ‘He directly probed my body without even being restrained by my defenses... just how strong is his spirit sense?’ Immortal Taegu was surprised.


    After all, he could tell that the young man in front of him wasn’t an immortal yet. And despite that he had defeated him and restrained now. He was merely a chicken on the chopping block now.

    “Why do you only have this much Immortal Qi?” Lin Mu questioned directly.


    “I... I have a normal amount for my level.” Immortal Taegu replied.


    “This is a normal amount?” Lin Mu raised his brows.


    “Yes. I’ve only reached the Immortal Realm four years ago. I prepared for the Immortal Tribtion for about three years while staying as a False Immortal. All the Immortal Qi I umted in that time was used up in order to defend against the Immortal Tribtion.” Immortal Taegu exined.


    “Hmm... doesn’t that still leave you with a year’s worth of time to recover more Immortal Qi?” Lin Mu questioned.


    “That... While I was undergoing the Immortal Tribtion, I was discovered by the soldiers of the Lush Stream Kingdom. They figured out my identity and the bounty I had on me. Then while I was weakened from the Immortal Tribtion, they caught me.


    After being caught, didn’t get to recover much of the immortal Qi and was sent to the Land of Exile.” Immortal Taegu answered in detail.


    “Huh...” Lin Mu had not expected such a series of events.


    It could be said that Immortal Taegu was caught at the worst moment possible. Despite bing immortal he didn’t get the time to make use of it.


    “The Immortal Qi I have right now is also higher than the time I came here first. I’ve spent some time absorbing it in the Land of Exile too. But the concentration here is quite less. This was also why I wanted toe to this mountain since there was a higher concentration of Immortal Qi here.” Taegu added.


    “There’s a high concentration of Immortal Qi here?” Lin Mu raised a brow.


    He didn’t know there was something like that happening.


    “Well, there was. When the five colored mist was still present, and the Spirit Qi was gushing, the concentration of Immortal Qi had risen greatly as well. But now it is back to the low concentration.” Taegu answered.


    “I see...” Lin Mu furrowed his brows, wondering if the heavenly phenomena caused by his Five Treasures realm could even attract Immortal Qi.


    ‘It is normal for the spirit Qi to rush here with so many people breaking through, so why did Immortal Qi increase as well?’ Lin Mu wondered.


    A few momentster, he had a decent assumption.


    ‘Is it the Dao Traces?’ Lin Mu guessed.


    With this another thought came to his mind, which prompted him to look into Immortal Taegu’s Dantian.


    ~shua~


    <o>,m Taegu shivered as he felt a strong tendril of spirit sense directly entering his body before reaching the Dantian.</o>


    Lin Mu observed the condition inside the Dantian and saw Immortal Taegu’s Nascent soul, Dao Shell and Dao Embryo.


    The Nascent soul though looked to be a bit different, with there a red halo around it.
