Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu wondered why he had not done this before and then realized that he and Jing Luo had simply been far too occupied with other matters and did not come to the issue of refinement as much.

And even when Jing Luo did do refinement, he mostly did it on his own and alone. This didn't let Lin Mu think about it either and thus the current situation arrived where he had missed out on an upgrade that could have been done a while time ago.

"Senior Xukong, can you give Jing Luo the same weapon forging and spirit tool refinement knowledge that you gave to Jing Wei?" Lin Mu questioned.

Xukong, who had not spoken for a few days and had been mostly engrossed in his own cultivation, woke up upon hearing Lin Mu's voice. The first thing he did upon waking up was to check his surroundings.

'Huh? The fire element is rather concentrated here…' Xukong thought to himself.

He then went through the more recent memories that were stored in their shared consciousness and learned all that had happened in the past few days. 

'A battle with a horde of monkeys and a lot of corpses… Hong Lin kingdom… fire attribute spirit Qi and a small bout of enlightenment.' Xukong saw.

"Oh? He even had some progress in the five treasures realm, that's good. Especially without the use of a body cultivation technique too…" Xukong muttered to himself.

Having seen the recent memories, Xukong now had a hang of all that happened and also learned what Lin Mu had asked for.

"I can give it to him as well, but it will come at a cost." Xukong spoke.

"Cost? You mean the ward?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Indeed. Every time it is used as an interface, it will weaken and run out of the energy it had. It cannot be replenished either and the world itself will interfere if we prod around too much." Xukong answered. 

"How much will this take?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Currently you have about sixty percent of the ward left, doing this will take another ten percent of the energy," Xukong answered.

"I see…" Lin Mu said before thinking over it a bit more.

So far, the ward had only activated twice. The first was with Jing Wei and the second time with Gu Yao. That was because Lin Mu was far too weak before and compared to the overpowering enemies he had to face, it was necessary.

But now that he thought of it, he barely had any difficulty fighting against most enemies. Even at his Adolescent soul stage Nascent soul realm cultivation base, he didn't really have much trouble fighting Adult soul stage Nascent soul realm cultivators.

And while he had not fought any Dao Shell realm cultivators till now, Lin Mu was getting confident that he might actually be able to hold up against them. And even if he could not do that, he was more than confident in escaping.

Plus, he would enter the Adult Soul stage of the Nascent Soul realm soon and that would allow him to fight even stronger enemies.

'There is the Five Treasures realm cultivation too…' Lin Mu thought to himself.

After thinking to himself for a minute, he realized that he could easily sacrifice such a percentage of the ward with almost no problems. Besides, this would allow Jing Luo to speed up his work and get far more stronger than before.

In the long term, this was only going to benefit Lin Mu as well.

"Alright, senior… I've decided to do it." Lin Mu stated.

"Very well. I'll do it then… you may want to warn him before that though." Xukong suggested.

"Ah, yes. I'll do that." Lin Mu replied before opening his eyes and looked at Jing Luo, who was still busy with his work.

"Jing Luo," Lin Mu called out.

"Yes? Need something?" Jing Luo turned around.

"I have a way to speed up the refinement process." Lin Mu replied.

"You do? How?" Jing Luo questioned, feeling interested.

"My master has agreed to pass the weapon and tool refinement knowledge of the higher worlds to you." Lin Mu answered.

"He? What? Master?" Jing Luo was stunned to say the least, upon hearing this.

"Be ready." Lin Mu said as he pointed his finger towards the man.

Before Jing Luo could even say anything, he felt his vision go dark as a stream of information started to pour into his mind. After a point, he started to get a headache, but when he saw the information, he got excited.

"How…" Jing Luo couldn't help but marvel at the techniques and skills of the higher worlds.

About five minutes later, the process was complete, and Lin Mu lowered his hand. This time, not only had Jing Luo gotten all the information, but Lin Mu had obtained it too. But to him, the information was too high leveled and he could not apply it.

It was the same as giving a grade schooler the books to make a terrifying missile; It was useless. If they did not have the foundational knowledge that was needed to even reach that point, the rest of the information would just be useless.

But for Jing Luo, who was proficient and very experienced, all of this information was as if an oasis at the end of a desert. The oasis was the enlightenment he needed while the desert was the block he was going through, unable to pass and think ahead.

Jing Luo stayed in a state of comprehension for about an hour. During this time, Lin Mu ensured that nothing happened to him and guarded him. It was only fair, since he had done the same for him before.

Still, it wasn't really any trouble since they were in a relatively safe place and any beasts that could even come close were quite weak compared to them. Finally, after the hour passed and Jing Luo opened his eyes, joy was filled in them.

"This… WE WILL BE INVINCIBLE NOW!" Jing Luo declared.
