Walker Of The Worlds

Upon walking into the Vitality Hall, Lin Mu saw the change in demographic.

"Now it seems like I'm surrounded by body cultivators…" All Lin Mu could see were muscular cultivators walking around.

Some wore tight clothes that accentuated their muscular curves, while some simply laid their bodies bare. Some had their heads clean shaven, while some had long hair that looked like the mane of a beast.

'No wonder this place is called vitality hall… Just the passive vitality emanating from the people here is overflowing.' Lin Mu could feel it very vividly.

Just from it, he could also sense the cultivation base of everyone. Unlike Qi cultivators, body cultivators were more brazen and would keep their cultivation base on full display.

After all, they had worked hard for it and so why should they hide it?

Such was the general consensuses for most of them.

"Peak of the Immortal Ascension realm… First Tribulation… third tribulation… fifth tribulation…" Lin Mu focused to sense all the cultivation bases of the body cultivators.

After a minute or so, he had gotten a basic idea of how things were here.

A majority of the Body cultivators were actually below the immortal realm and were dual practitioners of Qi cultivation and body cultivation. Such cultivators mostly cultivated till the peak of the Immortal ascension realm with their body and the rest was covered by their Qi cultivation.

This was similar to the condition that Lin Mu was in.

But then there were those that were those with body cultivation equivalent to the immortal realm!

These were the true body cultivators who were mostly focused on their bodies. While they still had some Qi cultivation, it was mostly so that they could use Qi for common spirit tools and such.

But despite all this, Lin Mu found something to be strange.

'Their aura… it doesn't seem like the Five Treasures realm…' Lin Mu realized.

The more he looked, the more he realized that other than a handful that seemed to have the aura signature of the Five Treasures realm, the rest seemed to have vastly different aura signatures. But the most confusing thing was that they still seemed to be body cultivators equivalent to the Immortal realm.

"What is all this?" Lin Mu was now confused.

"The reason why their aura signature is different is that they most likely switched the techniques after reaching the Immortal realm. You will experience the same." Xukong answered, seeing Lin Mu's doubt.

"Oh… I see. But then why do some of them still have the aura signature of the Five Treasure realm despite being at the immortal realm?" Lin Mu asked.

"There are many types of body cultivation techniques. The five treasures realm is based on the five mortal elements and the balance between them. Not all body cultivation techniques will follow the same norm.

After the initial foundation had been made in the Five treasures realm, one can cultivate and focus on singular elements or other aspects too. Those that you sense to have the aura signature of the Five treasure realm are probably cultivating an Immortal Body cultivation technique that is still focused on the balance between the five mortal elements." Xukong explained.

"Oh? I see… then what about the Tyrant Bull Marrow secrets and the Three Apertures Invoking Techniques?" Lin Mu questioned next.

"The Tyrant Bull Marrow secrets is vastly different from the Five Treasurers realm and does not focus on the balance of five elements. It is a body cultivation technique that purely focuses on strength and will have its own aura signature that will mask the five treasure realm.

On the other hand, the Three Apertures Invoking technique is one that focuses on the accumulation of energy. It won't fully mask the aura signature of the Five Treasures realm, but will modify it a bit." Xukong answered.

Lin Mu thought over it and realized that there was still a lot for him to learn. With all this in mind, he walked over to the counter where the materials were being sold.

"Welcome sir, what would you like?" The shop clerk asked.

"I want a few different materials." Lin Mu spoke before taking out a list.

He had long since kept it ready and the clerk appreciated it too. He went through the list, nodding at some items while furrowing his brows for some.

"Sir, we do have some of these items, but some aren't readily available." The clerk spoke.

"Oh? Even the Grand Sky pavilion doesn't have everything?" Lin Mu was surprised. "What are the ones you have and what are missing?" he asked.

"It's not like that, sir. It's just that there are some items we'll need to specially procure while some will have to be made on order." The Clerk stated before continuing. "We currently do not have any Tyrant Bull marrow, though if sir wishes, you can place an order with us and we'll procure it another world for you."

Lin Mu had wondered if they would have the Tyrant Bull beast in this world, but it turned out to be unavailable. 'At least they can get it for me.'

"Other than the Tyrant bull marrow, if you wish for special body cultivation pills, you will also have to wait, since our alchemists are queues." The clerk added. "Though if you wish for Immortal Essence crystals and some elemental essences, we can provide them for you."

"Hmm… that works." Lin Mu would at least be able to start practicing the Three Apertures Invoking technique for the time being.

"Then I'll take a hundred Immortal Essence crystals for now and also book a slot with an alchemist that specializes in body cultivation pills." Lin Mu ordered.

"Alright sir, and what about the Tyrant Bull Marrow? Would you like to place a procurement request?" the clerk asked.

"How long will it take?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Sending the request won't take longer than a day, but actually receiving it might take up to a year since the Interworld Teleportation Array only activates once a year." The Clerk answered.
