That Water Qi flowed smoothly into the Water Core, where it was refined and then redistributed throughout his body before settling partially into his Dantian.
Lin Mu opened his eyes, stunned.
This was fundamentally different from normal absorption.
In ordinary cultivators, water had to be digested, absorbed by organs, and only then refined into Qi through cultivation techniques. But his Water Core bypassed much of that process entirely.
Curious, Lin Mu decided to push further.
He took out a container of seawater.
The smell alone was unpleasant, and when he drank it, the taste was exactly as expected. Sharp, bitter, and overwhelmingly salty.
He suppressed his reaction and focused.
The results were immediate.
As the seawater entered his throat, nearly half of it was converted into Water Qi just like before. What remained became noticeably denser. The salt concentration increased rapidly.
