Walker Of The Worlds

A sizzling sound was heard as the corrosion on the wall spread out for a few centimeters before stopping. Lin Mu heard the sound and felt shocked at this. He didn't know what had just happened and felt confused at that.

He stood up and walked closer to inspect the wall and saw that a depression about half a centimeter was formed and it was about two inches in diameter. The gas that had touched the wall had dissipated and no traces of it could be seen.

The only thing Lin Mu could sense on the wall was the shallow depression and nothing else.

"What was that Senior Xukong?" Lin Mu questioned.

"…"

"Umm, Senior?" Lin Mu reiterated.

"Hmm, I do not know exactly. It seems to be the impurities being expelled from your body, but they shouldn't be this corrosive." Xukong answered.

"What's wrong here?" Lin Mu asked, feeling more confused.

"You see, by tempering your body, not only do you increase its strength and toughness but also improve its quality. This improvement in quality is brought about by removing the impurities from your body." Xukong replied.

"But how do these impurities appear in my body, though?" Lin Mu questioned.

"They are the result of you consuming sustenance. This can be in any form whether it be food or spirit qi. Everything has faint traces of impurities in them. These impurities slowly accumulate in your body over time and hide within it. For mortals, it does not matter as much, since their life span is not that long, but for cultivators, it is very important as it dictates the improvement in their cultivation and longevity." Xukong explained.

Lin Mu finally started to feel like he was understanding it on some level, but he was still confused about the volatility of the impurity that he had just expelled.
