Walker Of The Worlds

Even though the pain made Lin Mu shiver, his will was unshakable.

The process of the gold being assimilated into his bones was a strange and painful sensation. At first it was simply like a heavy bag being tied to his bones that pulled it down. But then it felt like something was biting into his bones.

The biting sensation later turned into a drilling pain that was significantly worse than before. His hand and even the entire body trembled as the gold continued affecting him. Lin Mu's other hand was clenched tight, so much so that if he had not completed the first stage of the True Gold Body Forging Arts, his nails would have dug into his palm's flesh and drawn blood.

He bore through the pain and continued to cultivate using the mnemonic of the True Gold Body Forging Arts. Hours passed by as the pain slowly lessened. He didn't know if it was just him getting used to the pain, or if his body was actually adapting to it.

The blood loss had already stopped when he had poured the liquid gold into his hand, and now it was solidified. Lin Mu was sitting on the ground cross legged, with his left hand on his lap.

It felt rather heavy to him and since it was also a bit fatigued from the process, it was harder for him to keep it up the entire time. This time it took Lin Mu a day to finish refining the gold.

And by the time he was done, he seemed to be rather tired looking.

~huu~huu~huu~

Lin Mu let out some deep breaths as he opened his eyes and looked at the status of his hand. The long and deep wound on his hand had completely closed, leaving behind a golden scar instead.

The scar went from the base of his wrist all the way to the top of his shoulder. It looked like someone had painted a line of gold there.

Lin Mu tried standing up and almost stumbled to the left.

"Damn… the balance is really off." Lin Mu said as he felt the weight difference.

His left hand drooped and made him lean to the left slightly. It looked like Lin Mu had some back injury and couldn't stand well. He checked the bones using his spirit sense and found them to be coated with the layer of gold.
