Chapter 490: Chapter 457 Body Repair_1
“Alright, everyone, you can leave now.”
Lu Jingkong looked rather annoyed as she shooed away her subordinates who were there falling over each other to tter her.
If she had won, she wouldn’t have been bothered, but she had lost.
These people were not praising her, they were in fact, pping her in the face.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yue wasughing unreservedly on the side.
Xu Mu did not react much to the situation.
“Fellow Lu, I didn’t expect you would gather so many subordinates, asserting your authority here,” said Xu Mu.
“When I first arrived here, I was saved by the queen of this country. After her death, these people insisted that I take the throne. Having nothing better to do, I agreed, and had them collect some useful information for me.”
As she spoke, Lu Jingkong led the duo deeper into the city.
They didn’tnd at the entrance of the Imperial City, but went directly to the pce.
Leaving their two beasts outside, she escorted the pair inside alone.
They passed through sessiveyers of pces and guards until they reached a ce that looked like a treasury.
She opened the door to the treasury which was empty, void of glittering gold and silver treasure, save for a giant jade box made from bone-chilling jade.
As Lu Jingkong opened it, therey a hand and foot inside, their cut edges perfectly smooth.
“A hand? A foot?”
Seeing what was inside, Yue was initially shocked, then quickly realized.
Wasn’t Elder Brother Mu missing a hand and a foot?
Wait, was it this woman who cut him?
She looked at Lu Jingkong withpounded hostility.
Lu Jingkong was confused at her hostility.
“The arm, I found at the same time as the weapon. I expected that you might have alsoe here. As for the severed leg, it was found by some of my subordinates. There’s an interesting story behind that,” said Lu Jingkong with augh.
“Interesting? What happened?” Yue asked curiously.
What kind of interesting story could a severed leg have?
Lu Jingkong didn’t keep it a secret
“Your brother’s severed leg, although detached from his body, still possesses tremendous power. Initially, the person who found it, fused it with his own body and disyed formidable strength, attracting many to fight for it.”
“Fused with the body? How is that even possible?” Yue was puzzled, all of it sounded just like a tall tale.
A severed limb, moreover one that has been disconnected for so long without decaying, how could it fuse with a person?
Wait, could it be like the prosthetic Elder Brother Mu made?
“Speaking of which, I found it quite strange too. Even a pure body cultivator preserves his body from decaying, yours somehow managed to fuse with a foreign body. It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like this!” said Lu Jingkong.
After getting this severed arm and leg, she had studied them for quite a while. The deeper she went the more amazed she became.
This didn’t look anything like a normal arm or a leg.
Having fought with Xu Mu, she realized not only were his limbs unusual, but his body as well.
“It’s just that my primary cultivation method is a bit unique, don’t be too surprised.”
Xu Mu didn’t intend to exin in detail.
A primary cultivation method is of utmost importance to a cultivator and isn’t something to be disclosed casually.
Because your enemies may figure out your weakness by learning your methods and exploit it during a battle.
Some cultivation methods may appear to be strong. If the enemies knew their weaknesses, they would be utterly useless.
That’s why many cultivators would rather die than reveal any part of their cultivation methods, even though they could sell them for a great deal of resources.
Lu Jingkong, being an experienced cultivator, of course, understood this. Seeing Xu Mu not wanting to talk about it, she didn’t pry.
Yue was curious, but if Xu Mu wasn’t speaking, she naturally would not ask.
Xu Mu steps forward, picking up the arm and inspecting it. After confirming there were no problems, he pulled his prosthetic limb from his arm.
“Wait, you’re not nning to attach it directly on, are you?” Lu Jingkong asked, staggered.
Although this limb reattachment was strange, it was the first time she had seen such a method.
“What else should I use then?” Xu Mu asked with augh.
This wasn’t the Cultivation World. If it was, one could use some special Pills and Skills.
In this world, this was the only method.
Luckily, he practiced a unique Martial Method. Otherwise, regr cultivators, even if they could retrieve their limbs, could not reattach them.
Seeing Xu Mu’s determination, Lu Jingkong said no more. She only widened her eyes, curious to see how he nned to do it.
Yue, who was nearby, had the same reaction.
She was even more curious than Lu Jingkong. Could a severed hand really be reattached this easily?
In the incredulous gaze of the two women, Xu Mu reattached the severed limb as easily as installing a part on a puppet.
There was no need for any surgery to stop the bleeding or rejoin the blood vessels. Xu Mu merely circted his vital energy to clear them, and immediately his limb was as good as new.
“There’s nothing like using your own stuff.” Xu Mu showed a rare smile.
No matter how exquisite the prosthetics he created were, they were still fake. Using them always felt a little unnatural.
Now that he had regained his arm, not only had his strength increased, but there was an inexplicable change in his state of mind.
This mental state was the hardest thing to improve once you reached his level.
In a way, this cmity was a blessing in disguise.
With the same method, he also reattached his leg.
His vitality filled his body, a terrifying power ready to erupt at any moment.
Xu Mu had the impulse to let out a howl and release his energy.
But he managed to suppress it.
This was indeed a test of his mental state.
Calm on the surface, but a storm raging in his heart.
The two women beside him were somewhat numb. Yue even began to question whether Xu Mu was human.
Of course, even if he wasn’t, she was still smitten.
Lu Jingkong, on the other hand, yearned for Xu Mu’s Body Refining Techniques. If she could cultivate them, her survival skills would undoubtedly greatly improve.
But she also knew it was almost impossible for Xu Mu to share his incredible technique with her.
Suddenly, a thought urred to her.
Both of them stranded here was like a twist of fate.
Considering theirplex prior rtionship, if they deepened it, then maybe…her hopes weren’t entirely dashed.
“Elder Brother Mu, can you give me one of these?” Yue asked, pointing at the prosthetics Xu Mu had cast aside.
“What do you want this for? You didn’t lose any limbs.” Xu Mu, feeling good after the restoration of his body, joked.
“Just to keep it as a souvenir.” Yue exined.
“Well then, you can take all of them.”
He had fused the Puppetry Skill and Refining Skill from the Immortal World, as well as arge amount of essence blood from this world’s wild beasts, to create these limbs. They could stand against a Martial God without destruction.
For the average Martial Artist, this was worth a fortune. But for him now, they were of no use.
“Give me one, too.”
Lu Jingkong curiously reached out to take one of the prosthetic hands, causing Yue, who had asked first, to grind her teeth in frustration.
While she initially just wanted one, she also wanted the hand, who would want to preserve a thigh as a memento?
“Now that you got your stuff, quickly tell me how to get out of here. I’m long-since sick of this world.”
After examining the prosthetic hand, Lu Jingkong immediately asked him about leaving this world.
