Walker Of The Worlds

The second stage of the True Gold Body Forging Arts was a cruel one.

One needed to cut open their flesh to reveal their bones and then pour the liquid gold inside to refine them. Both the act of cutting the flesh and pouring burning hot gold was inhuman to most people, and they wouldn't even imagine doing it.

Refining the gold for this stage was also a long process, since Lin Mu needed to reduce it to a quarter of its original volume. The amount of gold that he was refining for the second stage was 1506 kilograms, which was a significant amount.

Putting all that gold into the cauldron put it at about half of its capacity in the solid form and when it melted completely, it was about one third its capacity.

'Now come's the hard part…' Lin Mu thought and looked at little Shrubby. "You can stop heating it now. I need to do the rest of the parts myself. I'll tell you when I need you to heat it again." He spoke.

"Alright, I'll wait." Little Shrubby replied.

Nodding his head, Lin Mu began the refinement process that was even longer than before. With the quantity of gold, it took Lin Mu about four days before he reduced the volume of the gold by half.

But this was not enough and he needed to reduce it even more to a quarter.

'The more I refine it, the harder it gets…' Lin Mu understood.

The spirit Qi consumption was also far higher than before, such that Lin Mu actually needed to use more of his stored spirit Qi. Before this, his passive spirit Qi absorption was enough to compensate for the continuous use.

Day turned to night and time passed. Another five days passed before Lin Mu was finally done with the refinement of gold. He had successfully reduced it to a quarter of what the volume used to be.

Though the weight of the gold was still the same.

I think of it, the increase in my weight is almost unnoticeable." Lin
