Chapter 2128 Growing The Wind Core
Daoist Chu and Ziran's conversation shifted from the Outer Territories and Farlands to other matters which didn't interest Lin Mu as much, so he fully focused on his cultivation.
He had grown five of the basal elemental cores to the Immortal level and was now stumped with the Wind and Lightning cores.
'I do have a few herbs for the Wind Element, but for Lightning element I barely have a handful.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
He had hundreds of Wind Elemental Spirit herbs and about ten for Wind Elemental Immortal herbs, but he only had six Lightning Elemental Spirit herbs and two Lightning Elemental Immortal herbs. Other than the herbs, he had a few other materials that also had the two elements such as some Mountain Peak Jade that was formed under the sharp winds of a mountain peak and the lightning of a storm.
But having progressed the other cores, Lin Mu knew for sure these will be barely a drop in the ocean.

'May as well use them.' He thought to leftism and started with the Wind Core.
Lin Mu took out some Wind Elemental Spirit herbs, which were the lowest quality wind elemental material he had. It was a herb called as Breeze Grass and was used to make Wind Resistant Armor and clothes. It wasn't meant for consumption but it could still be used for the Wind Core.
~SHUA~
The Omnicore Ascendancy worked as the bunch of Breeze Grass broke down into Azure Wisps of light that were immediately sucked into Lin Mu's hands. He had gotten decently good at using Omnicore Ascendancy and as such his speed of absorbing these elemental energy wisps had improved a lot. It took him a fraction of a second to absorb them, as compared to before when it took him a few seconds to do the same.
~FUA~
He absorbed more of the Azure wisps and saw the same process repeat. But he did notice that the effect was weakening over time. And when he had run out of all of the Mortal Wind Elemental materials he had, the uncontrollable expansion had long since stopped.
'Hmm... So it was dependent on the size of the Wind Core itself.' Lin Mu thought to himself, as he gazed at the sand grain sized core.
Before this, the core was microscopic and every time more energy was added to it, it caused his diaphragm to react, but now that it had reached a somewhat 'visible' size, it had stopped.
'A matter of stability, perhaps?' Lin Mu reckoned.
Lin Mu looked at the other wind elemental materials that he had left in his ring and knew that he shouldn't use them.
'It'll be a waste if I use them right now when I can still use a lot of mortal materials,' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'I'll pause this for now and make it a priority to collect more of them later along with more Immortal materials,' He decided.
With the Wind Core progressed to a certain point, Lin Mu decided to try the Lightning Core too.
For this, he only had six spirit herbs of the Lightning element and a few more materials.
But Lin Mu was disinclined to use those materials.
'It would be a lot better to keep them for other uses. I'll need them for Formation Arrays and more.' Lin Mu thought as using them would not bring him much benefit right now anyways. The sheer quantity he needed was massive and these would be a few drops in a colossal ocean. 'Its best to only use surplus materials for Omnicore Ascendancy or those that I really have no use for,' Lin Mu reckoned.
As such, Lin Mu only used the six herbs that he had.
The herb he started with was called as the Spark Leaf Herb and was something that created sparks if one smashed it. It was used as a stabilizing agent with other herbs in making pills and was of rather low quality.
