After four days had passed, the gold that Lin Mu had poured into this chest had spread from his sternum all the way to the ribs and fully covered them. In case of his spine, it was also mostly covered, but the gold had not been fully absorbed yet.
'At least I can move a bit…' Lin Mu thought and tried to relax his back a little bit. While his vertebrae couldn't all move properly, there was still some scope of movement for his neck where the gold had been fully absorbed.
"Just a little while more…" Lin Mu muttered to himself and continued to practice the True Gold Body Forging Arts.
Finally, after two more days, his spine had fully assimilated all the gold and Lin Mu could stand up again.
"Huh… I have my balance back… so the spine really was the issue." Lin Mu realized.
Still, Lin Mu was not done with the second stage and still had one part of his body left, the most essential part… his head.
