Chapter 2169 A Growth In Qi


    To immortals, Immortal Qi was obviously their lifeline. Without it they would have no cultivation base, and they needed it to do everything they could.


    The more Immortal Qi one had, the more they could fight for. As such it was important for them to have as much as they could. Lin Mu and hispanions all had good cultivation bases and their Immortal Qi stores were quite big too.


    But for immortals of their cultivation base, growing their Immortal Qi stores became difficult after a certain point. Their Dantian would be stagnant and rigid, making it hard for them to store more Immortal Qi.


    It took them precious resources to grow it and after a certain point the returns became diminishing. As such they would have to rely on themselves to slowly grow their stores.


    But right now they were getting a reward that was managing to increase their overall immortal Qi stores without an issue.


    To Crown Prince Feng Shun and Lady Kang this was almost miraculous.


    In a dangerous ce like the Inheritance grounds, they needed every wisp of Immortal Qi they could have. Even a single wisp could be the difference between life and death especially when their chances for recovery were low in the middle of a trial. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Even for Lin Mu, who already had a greater capacity for Immortal Qi, the gain was significant.


    ''And here I thought it would take me long time to expand my Dantian again.'' Lin Mu thought to himself as he felt the Immortal Qi pour into his body effortlessly.


    The immortal Qi sea in his Dantian was filled with waves as more Qi rained down on it, as if a storm were running. Lin Mu''s Nascent Soul bathed in the shower of Qi with a gentle smile, clearly enjoying it all.


    The infusion of immortal Qisted for about two hours during which they felt no difort. It was a smooth process that was almost unbelievable.


    ~huu~


    Lin Mu took a deep breath as he finished absorbing all the Immortal Qi. He lifted his hand from the pedestal, when no more Immortal Qi came out of it.


    He then observed his Dantian to check how much growth he had obtained.


    ''Hmm… at least ten percent.'' Lin Mu estimated.


    This was a great amount considering he had managed to do this in just two hours. Plus with Lin Mu''s already great capacity, this ten percent was even greater than usual.


    Though the gains were not the same for others.


    Lady Kang checked her Dantian and estimated that she had obtained an increase of at least twenty percent. This was greater than Lin Mu, but was still rtive to their original capacities.


    "This is a better increase than a Peak Grade Immortal Qi pill." Lady Kang couldn''t help but say.


    "Indeed… I once consumed a Nine Petal Immortal Osmanthus and it barely gave me a five percent increase." Crown Prince Feng Shun agreed. "Where as this managed to give me an entire twenty five percent increase!" the man was clearly quite thrilled.


    He cultivated the Storm King Immortal Arts, which had a high immortal Qi consumption for some of the skills. As such, he needed to be a bit more prudent with them, but now he had a bit more leeway.


    "Twenty five percent? Damn, lucky." Crown Princess Shang said in slight envy. "I only got twenty two percent increase." She revealed.


    "Better than mine, I got twenty percent." Daoist Chu said with a wry smile.


    "How about you?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked noticing that Monk Hushu had a slight smile on his face.


    Monk Hushu was usually quiteposed and wouldn''t show such expressions even when he got a reward. Thus for him to do it right now was certainly strange.


    "Amitabha! Buddha has shown his grace and blessed me with a thirty percent increase." Monk Hushu answered much to their surprise. "Perhaps Buddha wishes me tost longer so that I can spread his teachings." He justified.


    "Ugh… He''s the same." Crown Princess Shang shook hear head.


    "How about the others?" Lin Mu was curious.


    "Fifteen percent." Ziran answered. "How about you, Daoist Mu Lin?" he asked, making others wonder too.


    "Lower than you all. Ten percent." Lin Mu answered. "Though any increase is good for us, so I don''t mind it." He added.


    "Of course, it is all up to our fates." Monk Hushu spoke.


    Lady Kang turned to Min Ju and Elder Hu inquiring about their gains too. They were her people, and an increase in their strength was good for her too.


    "My Lady I gained an increase of eighteen percent." Min Ju answered.


    "Twenty percent as well for me." Elder Hu replied.


    "Hmmm… that''s good for both of you." Lady Kang was content and so were her people.


    It was then they realized there was one person still left. Ziran looked at Qiao De who had his head down for some reason.


    "Are you fine, Qiao De?" Ziran inquired.


    "Did you get a lower reward?" Crown Prince Feng Shun inquired.


    "Haha… hahahaha!" But in the next moment, Qiao De burst outughing. "Looks like the fates are turning in my favor again!" he said out loud.


    "How much did you get?" Ziran finally asked.


    "Fifty Percent!" Qiao De revealed, surprising everyone.


    Monk Hushu''s tiny smile turned into a straight line and he became somber right away.


    "Amitabha, temptations and envy is wrong." He muttered to himself.


    Crown Prince, Lady Kang and Lin Mu had not expected the maximum gains to be for Qiao De. That too being fifty percent, which was quite a jump from thirty percent that Monk Hushu got.


    Lin Mu wondered if there was a way the reward was determined or if it was just based on luck. Whatever it might be though he didn''t mind it as it was still a positive for them all.


    "With such an increase in Immortal Qi, I won''t have any issues with my next Immortal Tribtion at all." Qiao De was incredibly pleased.
