Lin Mu carefully picked out a piece of succulent Glacial Shell Snail Queen at and looked at it carefully. The natural fat of the beast had lted and turned into oil that gracefully lded with the spices and herbs that were added to it.
It originally floated at the top of the cauldron, above the water that had turned into fragrant soup. And when Lin Mu picked up a piece of the at, the oil floating on top would gently coat it in just the right amount, giving it the perfect color and aroma.
"This certainly looks good…" Lin Mu said before putting into his mouth.
As soon as he did, he could feel the warmth from the hot soup and oil spreading. A taste of the aromatic herbs, matched with the fire spirit Qi rich water, made him feel like his taste buds were being given a nice massage at a spa.
But soon, the feeling turned 180 degrees.
~shua~
A mouthful of frost escaped Lin Mu's nostrils as the warmth was swept away and a cool wave spread instead.
Lin Mu bit down on the succulent at and felt like it was soft yet firm. The at was cool on the inside and felt a bit creamy as well.
'I've certainly never had sothing like this before…' Lin Mu found it to be very different from any kind of at that he had eaten.
And Lin Mu had easily eaten over a thousand types of at over the years from various beasts. He could tell that his at from the Glacial Shell Snail Queen was indeed the best he had ever tasted.
'Of course, it should be at least this good. If it was not so, it would be a sha to be a peak immortal Ascension realm beast.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
~gulp~
Having chewed it a few tis, Lin Mu finally swallowed it down.
Upon reaching his stomach, the cool feeling spread once more. But it was a bit milder this ti.
His stomach started to work and the naless technique of the Lost Immortal also activated on its own, helping him in absorbing all the energy from the at.
Lin Mu didn't eat the next piece of at right away, instead choosing to wait and see how it would affect his body first. He had not forgotten Senior Xukong's warning and knew that extre yin could harm his body.
It was even more of an issue since they ca from the Dao Traces themselves. Even after refinent, there would still be fragnts of it left behind. While Xukong had told Lin Mu that at his current stage, he should be able to digest it.
But he still wanted to be careful and cautious.
A minute passed by as his stomach continued to absorb all the energy from the flesh. And when it was finally done, Lin Mu could feel a cool energy passing through his ridians. It was different than normal spirit Qi and was a bit more vibrant.
'This should be the pure water elental spirit Qi…' Lin Mu guessed.
There were also traces of vital essence mixed into it, and turned it into a slightly different form of energy. Lin Mu reckoned that this was the reason why the flesh was sothing he could consu and easily use for refining treasured organ and not the shell which was just pure extre yin water elental.
The energy swam through his ridians and quickly went to the Dantian. But it didn't stop there like usual, instead it changed its route and continued before splitting apart into two.
A few seconds later, Lin Mu could feel a deep chill spreading from his abdon and going all the way up to his neck through his spine.
Peering into his body using his spirit sense, he could tell that the energy from the at had already started affecting his kidneys. The effect was passive rather than active since he didn't actually have a technique for this.
Lin Mu assessed that from all the energy that he absorbed from the at, only 5% could actually affect his kidneys and refine it. The rest of the energy simply passed through his kidneys and recirculated through the ridians before being assimilated into his body.
"Hmm… passive increase is indeed rather low. It would have been almost impossible to do, if not for the sheer quantity of at I have." Lin Mu reckoned.
Having seen the effects of the Glacial Shell Snail Queen at, Lin Mu no longer had any hesitation. He first emptied out the cauldron into another large container and then filled it back up with the second pile of at and condints.
While the second batch cooked, Lin Mu started to eat the cooked at by mouthfuls. It took him about an hour to actually finish it all, as he discovered a new effect after a while.
A few bites of at were nothing to him, and the cool effect was rather mild. But once he had eaten a certain amount, Lin Mu could feel his entire body cooling down as well. Even his spirit Qi circulation had beco slowed, which was a bit alarming to him.
If not for that fact that the effect faded away after he took a pause, he might have had to stop it.
After all, Lin Mu had a tough body and even many poisons would not be able to affect him easily. This at that could cause such a strong effect was a bit concerning.
Regardless, the effect that Lin Mu wanted was easily shown.
After finishing the first batch of cooked Glacial Shell Snail at, Lin Mu discovered another factor.
"My body actually can't keep up with the absorption?" Lin Mu was surprised.
The Naless technique of the Lost Immortal easily extracted and absorbed all the energy, but the speed of assimilation was slower than that by several tis. Thus, the energy would stay stored in his stomach, waiting for its turn to co.
'This is gonna take a while…'
