1425 First Time Consuming Immortal Pills

Lin Mu hadn't switched over to the elemental immortal Qi upon reaching the Immortal realm, since he simply didn't have the opportunity to do so. But now, he had automatically managed to do it.

He didn't know if it was the work of his cultivation technique that he had made, but as soon as the spirit Qi was gone, it was quick in adapting to the new normal.

'Or rather, it had always been waiting for me to get rid of the spirit Qi.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

Even in the Immortal realm, there were many immortals that used spirit Qi as their primary energy. They only used Immortal Qi when they really needed to or when they were using things like Immortal formations or Immortal tools.

This usually lasted till they were at the Third Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm.

At that point, they would have accumulated more than enough immortal Qi and would be able to use Immortal Qi as their primary energy. But even then they would still keep Spirit Qi within their bodies.

It was relatively rare for someone to fully eliminate spirit Qi from their body. Only Lin Mu who had a strong passive absorption of Qi would be able to do something like this.

Though him following the primordial path might also be a factor that had contributed to it.

'Still, I need more immortal Qi if I'm to have a stable output.' Lin Mu thought to himself before taking out a box.

"Seems like it is finally time to use these." Lin Mu looked at the box that were given to him by Elder Niji and Lanbao.

These boxes contained pills that were called as Immortal Pool Pills. They were one of the more common Immortal pills.

Their function was simple, and it was to provide the user with immortal Qi.

But them being common didn't mean they were not valuable. Rather, they were one of the highest traded immortal pill in the immortal worlds. One could even use them as a currency if they didn't have anything else.

They were a fully acceptable alternative to immortal stones, and their value was almost the same too. The variances in the value came due to the fluctuation of supply and demand in the market, but that was a normal phenomenon.

The Immortal Pool Pills were also one of the main pills that an Immortal Alchemist would first learn. They could be made using several different types of herbs and had multiple recipes making it possible for its supply to become stable.

The best part was that most of the herbs used to make it were commercially cultivated by various powers.

It could even be said that the Immortal Pool Pill was one of the most economically stabilizing commodities for the Immortal world.

And Lin Mu had a lot of them.

The box in front of him had nearly a hundred bottles, and each bottle had ten pills each. That was a thousand pills in one box and this was just one box out of the hundreds that Lin Mu had been given.

Lin Mu took out one pill from the first bottle and popped it into his mouth.

'Let's begin with just one and see how it goes…' Lin Mu didn't wish to rush in directly.

And as soon as the pill touched his tongue, it melted away into a liquid. Lin Mu swallowed it and let his stomach do the rest.

~shua~

Within his stomach, the obscure runes appeared once more.

Since this was the first time Lin Mu was consuming an immortal pill, his stomach seemed to be analyzing it somehow.

Merely in a few seconds, it had adapted to the immortal pill and quickly absorbed all the immortal Qi from the pill. It wasn't Lin Mu's first time consuming immortal Qi after all, as he had obtained a lot from the Immortal beast meat too.

'I have quite a lot of it left too… I'll probably keep it for later when I feel 'hungry'.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

And while he thought of this, the newly arrived immortal Qi had already been assimilated into his body. He didn't even need to refine it consistently as his Qi circuits worked automatically.

'These pills are rather efficient.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

The amount of Immortal Qi he had obtained from one pill wasn't as much as the Immortal Apples, but it was still significant.

'The Immortal Apple restored ten percent of my storage, but the pill can only restore about half a percent. Hmm… the amount seems small, but it might just be for me.' Lin Mu concluded.

Having understood this, he picked up the pill bottle and poured all of the pills into his mouth.

~gulp~

Swallowing it, Lin Mu felt the rush of Immortal Qi in his body.

~shua~

His stomach acted immediately and absorbed it all, while his meridians quickly guided it into his Dantian.

Seeing the increase, Lin Mu didn't stop and opened more pill bottles, shoving the pills into his mouth.

If someone watched him right now, they would think that he was nothing less than mad. Even if one didn't consider the cost of his consumption, just the way he was consuming would be considered absurd.

If a normal immortal were to consume an immortal pill, they would have to consciously work to absorb it. If they didn't focus properly, they might even damage their bodies.

Not to mention, they wouldn't be able to absorb all of the immortal Qi from the pill either.

In fact, it wasn't unusual for them to lose over half of the immortal Qi from a pill they consumed. That was simply the normal efficiency for most cultivators. Even for more talented individuals, this efficiency might be at seventy to eighty percent.

Lin Mu was an exception to this rule and the Nameless Technique of the Lost Immortal was behind it all.

It had made his absorption reach 100% efficiency and he wouldn't lose any immortal Qi at all.

And thus he was quickly increasing his immortal Qi stores.
