Chapter 2674  Sensing His Body's Changes

Meng Bai swallowed hard, his racing heart gradually settling. His mind was still trying to process everything that had just transpired, but one thing was certain—he had experienced something life-changing. Whether it was the purification of his body or the harrowing encounter with Little Shrubby, this night would be etched into his memory forever.

After a moment of deep breathing, he managed to calm down and regain some composure.

"I didn't think you had a tamed beast," Meng Bai finally said as he got to his feet.

"I have a few," Lin Mu corrected.

"You have more?" Meng Bai was surprised. "Where are they?"

"They're away for now, but should return soon," Lin Mu replied.

"I see..." Meng Bai found it unusual. Most Beast Tamers rarely let their beasts leave their side, except in cases where they were used as messengers, like certain avian species, or as mounts lent to others.

"What kind of beasts are they?" Meng Bai inquired further. "Little Shrubby seems to be… a lion or a tiger of some kind?" he guessed, examining the creature.

"He's a Liger. A Flash Fire Liger, to be exact," Lin Mu answered.

"A Flash Fire Liger? Never heard of it," Meng Bai admitted. He had only ever encountered common beasts around Ram Orchard City and had little knowledge beyond that. "What about the others?"

Lin Mu smirked. "I think it'll be best to keep that a surprise. They are… special."

Meng Bai's curiosity grew. 'If just Little Shrubby is this terrifying, what could the others be like?' he wondered.

Lin Mu watched his reaction and asked, "I suppose you're feeling better now?"

"Yeah, I think I—Wait!" Meng Bai suddenly paused, his eyes widening. "Why does the Spirit Qi in the air feel so dense all of a sudden?"

He took a deep breath, and a rich surge of Spirit Qi filled his lungs. But it wasn't just that—his skin was passively absorbing Spirit Qi from the air without any effort on his part. While the amount wasn't overwhelming, it was still far better than what he had been used to.

Previously, Meng Bai had to cultivate actively, breathing in Spirit Qi with concentration. But now, his body seemed to naturally absorb it, as if it had become a sponge for energy.

Feeling a sense of disbelief, he looked down at his hands. They appeared the same as before, but his skin had a newfound vibrancy, as if he had just undergone a rejuvenating treatment. He touched his face, noting the same effect—it was softer, healthier. Though his small scars remained, there was an undeniable change.

Seeing Meng Bai's reaction, Lin Mu knew the boy was finally recognizing the transformations.

"You should check inside your body as well," Lin Mu suggested.

Meng Bai hesitated before sending his Spirit Sense inward. The moment he did, he was astounded.

Energy surged through his body, his very cells thrumming with newfound vitality. The life force Lin Mu had infused into him had supercharged his regeneration, initiating the repair of old injuries he had accumulated over the years. His skin cells were rapidly renewing, and his muscle fibers were undergoing a process of apoptosis and replacement, strengthening them in the process.

His blood flowed vigorously through his veins, reaching his spleen, where aging cells perished en masse, while his marrow simultaneously produced fresh, potent replacements.

But the most astonishing change lay in his meridians and Dantian.

Meng Bai felt like his meridians had expanded—though in truth, they were still the same size. The difference was that the impurities that had previously clogged and narrowed them had been completely purged. Spirit Qi now flowed freely and efficiently, significantly improving his absorption rate.

The reason the surrounding Spirit Qi felt denser wasn't because the air had changed but because his body was now far more receptive to it. It was like someone shedding heavy layers of clothing and finally feeling the true temperature of their surroundings.

Then, his gaze shifted inward to his core.

"My core… What happened to it!?" Meng Bai gasped.

His voice wavered as he took in the sight before him.

The previously dull, opaque core in his Dantian had transformed. Now, it was a radiant, translucent crystalline structure, slowly rotating in a sea of Spirit Qi. The sheer power it contained was unlike anything he had ever felt, even when he had reached the Peak of the Core Condensation Realm.

Compared to his previous self, he felt at least twice as strong, as if his former state had been a mere shadow of his potential.

Clenching his fist, Meng Bai tested his strength. Though not a body cultivator, the sheer increase in his Spirit Qi alone provided enough passive enhancement that he felt capable of bending metal with ease.

He turned to Lin Mu, eyes filled with disbelief.

"What… What did you do to me?" he asked, knowing that such a profound transformation could not have happened on its own.

There was only one reason something like this could have happened to him: Lin Mu.

Meng Bai had heard legends of people stumbling upon rare spirit pools that could allow them to rebuild their body anew or of miraculous elixirs that could grant on talent that could rival the heavens.

All those had been mere legends to him before, part of the tales that were told to children.

And yet, now he was experiencing the very same thing.

While he might not know much about the true extent of his changes or what capabilities they granted, just the initial feeling of it told him that he was no longer the same boy he was before.

"I merely purified your meridians and your Dantian." Lin Mu answered simply.

"You did what?!" Meng Bai knew what something like this entailed.

It was something only the top talents of immortal sects could experience and did for new talented disciples that joined them. It involved the use of rare and precious resources that could cause millions of cultivators to turn green from envy.

And yet, he had received the same treatment.
