Lin Mu took a deep breath as he looked at the new layer of armor that had now formed on his skin. This was the third stage of the mortal strengthening scripture and it had taken half a box of the earth elemental herbs for him to reach it.

The stone like patterns had now disappeared and it was as if Lin Mu was wearing a brown plate armor. Lin Mu couldn't tell how much the difference had increased by but could sense the dense earth attribute spirit Qi that was packed into it.

He tapped on the armor layer and found that his arm easily passed through it and it was as if it didn't exist.

"Only an attack would cause it to harden…" Lin Mu muttered to himself before raising his hand and punching his other hand.

The sound of collision could be heard as his arm hit the brown armor layer. It easily defended against it and Lin Mu felt nothing but knew that the power in the attack was enough to break the bones of a Qi refining realm cultivator.

"Well… that didn't take as many resources as I had expected. I still have a lot more left for the next stage." Lin Mu said.

"Don't forget the requirement only increased exponentially after each stage. You may barely be able to reach the fourth stage with all this here." Xukong replied.

Lin Mu spent an hour like this before starting his practice again. He started eating the rest of the herbs and continued the process.
