<h4>Chapter 577 - Jing Luo''s Mountain Residence </h4>


    "Exactly... you are the only one who would be able to pull it off. Without that bloodline ability... it will be close to impossible." Xukong replied to Lin Mu’s question.


    If this thing were to be done by anyone else, they would need a long time to absorb the spirit Qi of this entire ne. Not only that, but they would also need to absorb it faster than the production speed of the spirit stone mine.


    The amount of spirit Qi in this minor ne was quite massive. Even if its borders were restricted, absorbing enough spirit Qi to trigger a copse like that would be a herculean task.


    While Xukong had suggested Lin Mu this method, even he was unsure whether Lin Mu would be able to do this.


    ’Hopefully, he seeds... even if he doesn’t, I can interfere. At least in the void, I should be able to control things better.’ Xukong thought to himself.


    Jing Luo saw the determination that had suddenly appeared in Lin Mu’s eyes and wondered why.


    "Did you think of something?" Jing Luo asked.


    "Yes... I have a solution." Lin Mu spoke.


    "To get us out of here? What is it?" Jing Luo questioned.


    "Alright, listen carefully." Lin Mu said before exining the entire n to Jing Luo while omitting a few details that were treading on his secrets like the Well Of Slumber.


    "This... I’ve never thought something like this could be done." Jing Luo spoke after hearing the entire thing.


    "It is indeed risky, but the only option we have left." Lin Mu replied.


    Jing Luo nodded his head and did not waver.


    "I’ve been here for fifty years already, and it has been far too long. Grandfather and Duan Ke have suffered for far too long. Our enemies have risen again and I won’t let them be." Jing Luo spoke.


    "Very well. But before we can start that we will need to get ess to the Spirit stone mine." Lin Mu spoke.


    "Ah, yes. My home here is on the mountain, let’s go there. Over the years I’ve managed to dig a tunnel that leads to the location of the Spirit stone mine, but I can’t get past thest part. The rocks there are much harder than anything I’ve seen before." Jing Luo spoke.


    "Okay, let’s go check it out." Lin Mu spoke, and both of them flew to the mountain.


    Lin Mu no longer worried about Little Shrubby, as there was no beast that could harm him here. Along the way, Lin Mu talked with Jing Luo and learned of all that he did here during the past fifty years.


    He was greatly injured when he first arrived here and it took him five years just to heal from his injuries. During that time there were many dangers in this minor ne. There were other Nascent Soul realm beasts that threatened his life and had attacked him.


    While he had managed to escape them, he had gotten injured over and over again. It took him another ten years before he was able to adapt to this ce. But with all the hardship came the benefits, too.


    Jing Luo learned a lot here in that time and got to solidify his own power. Eventually, he started to focus on making spirit tools and weapons using the materials that were present here. Those leaves he had made patches on his robes with were all refined by him.


    He had managed to make spirit tools and weapons from basic materials of this ce, even though it was hard. While this ce was like a paradise, it did not have all the right materials that were needed to make the spirit tools, thus Jing Luo simply managed with things that he had.


    Instead of finding materials that could handle the runes and formations, he modified the formations such that they could be used onmon materials as well. This was all due to the research that he had done on his own here.


    His hand was forced due to necessity and this new methodology of making spirit tools was born from that.


    "This man is a genius, simr to his grandfather. He managed toprehend the ’Return to simplicity’ principle of formations. Many good formation masters never learn that in their life even when they are taught, and he did it on his own." Xukong praised.


    Lin Mu knew how much senior Xukong’s praise was worth. Anyone that could get praised by him was greatly deserving of it and was leagues above others. Lin Mu now wondered if he should learn from Jing Luo, but he did not know if that would be possible currently.


    Lin Mu and Jing Luo eventually reached the residence, which was nothing but arge cave in the mountainside. But it was not dark like one would think. Once Lin Mu entered inside and got to the main part, he was surprised.


    There were glowingmps everywhere, and it was bright. There wererge workstations on which various materials were lying and formations that glowed in the air. There were skylights carved out in the roof, through which sunlight entered the cave.


    There were even nts growing in the residence, and there was an entire garden here. Jing Luo had grown some of themon nts that he needed for materials here. Usually, these nts would take decades to grow, but in a paradise like this, they grew like weeds.

    There were also some decorations in the residence like skulls of beasts,rge horns that hung from the walls, along with many weapons made from the bones of beasts. Lin Mu saw a great sword that was ced on one of the shelves. The Sword was simply massive. It was nearly twice the size of Lin Mu’s entire body.


    But that was not all, as when he scanned it with his spirit sense, he found it to be densely covered with runes upon runes. There were so many formations on it that there was simply no space left.
