151: Bathwater Auction

“Oh, Qi Refining Eleventh Level!”

Mu Feng used his Divine Sense to examine his body and found that his Physical Body strength far exceeded his imagination.

This Medicinal Bath was like boiling a frog in warm water.

Without a sound, it had raised his Physical Body strength to Qi Refining Eleventh Level!

Moreover, there seemed to be a Cold Ice Qi Strength flowing through his muscles.

“Could it be…!”

This discovery greatly surprised Mu Feng!

He suddenly recalled the description on the ice origin fruit tree when he picked the ice origin fruit.

He immediately took out the ice origin fruit again to examine it.

【Name: ice origin fruit】

【Year: 109】

【Description: A spiritual fruit that grows in extremely cold regions, containing immense ice-elemental energy. It is an important Material for Cultivating ice-elemental Cultivation Techniques. After absorbing its energy, it can imbue ice-elemental Cultivators’ attacks with Cold Ice Qi Strength, making them very powerful.】

“Cold Ice Qi Strength!”

“Indeed!”

It was close to what he had thought.

The Cold Ice Qi Strength flowing through his muscles was obtained from this ice origin fruit.

“Strange, didn’t it say that Cold Ice Qi Strength can only be generated by Cultivating ice-elemental Cultivation Techniques?”

“It works by taking a bath too?”

He scratched his head.

Mu Feng couldn’t quite understand it.

He could only attribute it to the miraculous nature of this Medicinal Bath.

“I wonder how strong it is?”

“Let’s try it!”

Having obtained a new Divine Ability.

Mu Feng was itching to try it out.

He didn’t care if he was in his Immortal Cave or not.

He directly channeled the Cold Ice Qi Strength from his muscles to his fist.

“Hmph!”

He let out a loud shout and punched the Immortal Cave wall in mid-air.

“Crack!”

A blue energy shot out.

Immediately after.

His entire wall froze solid.

“Hiss, so strong!”

His wall had been upgraded.

Ordinary Magical Artifacts would find it difficult to leave a mark on it.

Yet, it was easily frozen by this Cold Ice Qi Strength.

Most importantly.

The effect of this Cold Ice Qi Strength was only one-third of its potential.

After all, he hadn’t fully absorbed the energy of this ice origin fruit!

The effect caused by one-third was already so powerful.

He couldn’t even imagine the full Cold Ice Qi Strength.

“Hehe, not bad, not bad!”

“I’ve gained another attack method!”

Mu Feng felt delighted.

He had originally just wanted to take a Medicinal Bath to improve his Physical Body strength.

He hadn’t expected to get an unexpected surprise.

This made him very happy.

He opened his personal page to check.

He found that this Cold Ice Qi Strength did not belong to the skill category.

Instead, it was in the Secret Technique Divine Ability section.

And it seemed that it could only be activated through the Physical Body.

Releasing it did not consume Magical Power.

This discovery made Mu Feng even happier.

He wished he could immediately brew the ice origin fruit in his hand into a Medicinal Bath again.

“Forget it, no rush.”

“The body’s absorption is limited. I’ll take another bath when it’s fully absorbed.”

In fact, he hadn’t completely absorbed all the energy in this Medicinal Bath.

He only came out because his body’s absorption had reached saturation.

“Hmm, this Medicinal Bath can’t be wasted.”

“I wonder if it can be put up for auction.”

There was still some unabsorbed energy left in the Medicinal Bath.

He wouldn’t absorb it himself anymore.

Pouring it away directly would be a bit of a waste.

So, Mu Feng thought of taking it out for trade.

To get some Spirit Stones back, no matter how little.

After all, this pot of Medicinal Bath was not cheap to make.

It would be good if he could get some Spirit Stones.

After all, the wool comes from the sheep’s back.

“But is it not very good?”

Mu Feng scratched his head.

After all, it was his bathwater.

Putting it up for auction was a bit of a scam.

“Forget it, who cares?”

“At most, when selling it, I’ll directly state that it’s been used. Whether they want to buy it or not is their business.”

“Besides, it might not even succeed.”

Thinking this.

Mu Feng packed it up, then opened the auction house’s consignment System.

With a try-it-out mentality.

He put it up.

【Consignor: Mu Feng】

【Area: 186】

【Item: Used Body Tempering Medicinal Bath】

【Description: A valuable Body Tempering Medicinal Bath, containing ice origin fruit, Vermillion Fruit, Blood Transformation Grass, Dragon Blood, and many other precious Materials. Absorbing it can enhance Physical Body strength and has a chance to gain ice-elemental Divine Ability.】

【Starting Bid: 200 Spirit Stones】

【System Reminder: Consignment successful. It will be the third item in tomorrow’s regular session.】

“Ah?”

“It really succeeded…”

Mu Feng felt a bit dizzy.

He had only tried it out of curiosity, but he didn’t expect it to be successfully consigned directly.

He felt that the description might have played a big role.

When listing it, to increase competitiveness, Mu Feng generally described the Medicinal Bath’s Materials.

And then added a sentence about the probability of gaining ice-elemental Divine Ability.

He thought it might be because of this.

The System then considered the value of this Medicinal Bath sufficient for the regular session.

“Forget it, forget it.”

“Since it’s already up, there’s nothing to dwell on.”

He shook his head.

Anyway, he didn’t lie.

This Medicinal Bath indeed still contained the energy of the ice origin fruit, just a very small amount.

As for selling bathwater.

He had already noted it.

If someone bought it, it meant they could accept that he had used it.

One willing to hit, one willing to be hit.

He had no psychological burden.

Exiting the auction house.

Mu Feng was not in a hurry to enter the Deep Sea Secret Realm.

Instead, he moved his limbs to familiarize himself with his body.

His Physical Body strength had increased too quickly.

He needed a little time to adapt.

World Chat Channel.

“Pfft, someone actually put a basin of bathwater up for auction in tomorrow’s regular session?!”

“Ah??? Are you sure you’re not joking? I remember items on the auction house need to be verified for value. Bathwater can’t be listed, right?”

“I just checked, it’s true, but it’s not bathwater, it’s Body Tempering Medicinal Bath that Senior Mu Feng used…”

“Medicinal Bath that Senior Mu Feng used? Then I have to buy it!”

“??? Sis, what do you want to do!”

“Looking at the Materials, this Medicinal Bath seems quite valuable. After all, Blood Transformation Grass and Vermillion Fruit alone are worth 2000 Spirit Stones. I estimate the Dragon Blood and ice origin fruit mentioned later are definitely worth no less. It also says there’s a chance to gain ice-elemental Divine Ability. I think anyone Cultivating ice-elemental Cultivation Techniques can consider buying it.”

....

After seeing that the bathwater was consigned by Mu Feng.

Everyone actually found it quite reasonable.

After all, the Materials inside seemed very precious.

Although it had been used.

It would definitely still retain a lot of medicinal power.

Otherwise, the auction house’s value appraisal wouldn’t have passed it.

......

Mu Feng didn’t know that the bathwater he consigned had already attracted everyone’s attention.

After spending more than ten minutes adapting to his body.

Mu Feng began to prepare for exploring the Deep Sea Secret Realm.

He opened the friend chat box.

Mu Feng sent a message to Han Yuyan.

Mu Feng.186: “Are you still trading Advanced Talismans?”

Mu Feng had found the previous Concealment Talisman too expensive and hadn’t bought it.

He could only exchange it with the Bishui Talisman he had newly refined.

Anyway, he had refined enough this time.

Trading one out of five was still fine.

Han Yuyan.187: “Your Advanced Talisman has been successfully refined? What Talisman is it?”

The other party might still be in the auction house.

Seeing his message, she immediately replied.

Mu Feng.186: “A Bishui Talisman that allows free movement in water, want to trade?”

Han Yuyan.187: “Bishui Talisman!!! Trade!”

She might have entered the Deep Water Secret Realm.

As soon as she saw it was a Bishui Talisman.

She agreed without thinking.

To be fair.

This thing was indeed good.

With it, if she encountered a Deep Water Secret Realm again, she wouldn’t be forced out.

【System Reminder: Trade successful, Concealment Talisman x1】

Taking the newly acquired Concealment Talisman.

Mu Feng injected his Divine Sense to check it.

It was brand new and unused.

This made Mu Feng very satisfied.

Trade completed.

Mu Feng was about to close the chat box and enter the Deep Sea Secret Realm.

Suddenly, Han Yuyan’s message popped up again.

Han Yuyan.187: “That… does the Medicinal Bath Material you consigned at the auction house really contain ice origin fruit?”

Mu Feng.186: “Yes, why do you ask?”

Han Yuyan.187: “Nothing, nothing, I just asked.”

Mu Feng.186: “Oh, I have something else to do, so I’ll leave it at that for now. Talk next time.”

Having obtained the Concealment Talisman he wanted.

Mu Feng immediately closed the chat box.

He was now eager to enter the Deep Sea Secret Realm.

Before entering.

Mu Feng checked the items on his person.

After confirming that nothing was left out.

He opened his spirit beast bag to check the information of his Puppet, Spiritual Insect, and Spirit Beast.

Little Lizard was still in slumber.

Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion and Silver Moon Fox also hadn’t awakened.

However, their bodies had shown some changes.

First, the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion’s purple color had deepened, and its size had also increased significantly.

It seemed that the two venom sacs and snake venom had helped them a lot.

After waking up.

Their strength was estimated to increase considerably.

The Silver Moon Fox’s change was even more astonishing than the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion’s.

After swallowing the Blood Pill, it, which originally only had one tail, actually grew another one.

This discovery startled Mu Feng.

He hadn’t expected this thing to be able to grow another tail.

He checked it again.

After finding that its body had no abnormalities, Mu Feng finally relaxed.

It seemed to be a good thing.

It was just that two tails looked a bit strange.

Perhaps growing another one would make it look better.

After confirming that the little fox growing a tail was a normal phenomenon.

Mu Feng exited the spirit beast bag.

He picked up a Bishui Talisman and stuck it on himself.

This way, when he entered the Deep Sea Secret Realm later, he could activate it directly to prevent seawater from entering his body.

Walking to the light door.

Mu Feng focused his eyes.

Before entering, he wanted to see if there were any changes in this Secret Realm.

【This is a Deep Sea Secret Realm, containing many treasure chests, but the Yao Beasts are a bit troublesome.】

“The Yao Beasts are still a bit troublesome.”

“It seems.”

“There might really be Yao Beasts of the fourth or fifth rank or higher in this Secret Realm.”

“I need to be careful.”

Mu Feng nodded.

After confirming again that all his belongings were packed.

He stepped into the teleportation gate.

“Plop!”

A white light flashed.

Mu Feng appeared in a deep blue sea area.

“So deep, such a large Secret Realm!”

Mu Feng used his Divine Sense to probe.

He found that within the range of his Divine Sense, it was all seawater.

This meant that.

He was currently at least a thousand meters deep in the sea.

He finally understood why the System had told him to improve his Physical Body strength.

In such a deep sea area.

If one’s Physical Body strength was insufficient.

One would probably have to constantly use Magical Power to resist the pressure of the seawater.

This would invisibly consume a lot of Magical Power.

He moved his limbs.

Mu Feng felt fine.

There was almost no difference from being on land.

However, Mu Feng still took a moment to adapt to the deep-sea environment before slowly moving forward.

There weren’t many fish underwater.

But there were a lot of corals.

In patches, they emitted colorful light.

This made Mu Feng sigh.

The wonder of the underwater world.

【Go west, there seems to be a deep-sea treasure chest over there.】

Before he could admire the beautiful scenery.

The System’s prompt appeared.

“West?”

Mu Feng nodded.

Before leaving, he left a portion of his Divine Sense at the teleportation gate exit.

This Deep Sea Secret Realm was simply too vast.

He was afraid he might get lost later.

Leaving a marker.

This would make it easier to find the exit when returning.

Done.

Mu Feng then followed the System’s prompt and headed west.

“The deep sea is truly beautiful.”

“This Bishui Talisman was refined correctly!”

Mu Feng walked leisurely, admiring the beautiful scenery of the seabed.

He was a child who grew up inland.

He still yearned for the sea.

And the sea did not disappoint him.

Deep and beautiful, it perfectly matched his inland child’s imagination of the sea.

【It should be under that coral over there.】

While strolling leisurely.

Mu Feng arrived at the place indicated by the System.

“Coral?”

“Found it!”

He glanced around.

Mu Feng saw the black treasure chest among the coral clusters.

However, he was not in a hurry to go over.

Instead, he first used his Spiritual Eye Divine Power to scan the surrounding environment.

To be honest.

He was now a little distrustful of his Divine Sense.

Even if his Divine Sense detected no danger in the future.

He would still use his Spiritual Eye to check again and confirm safety before proceeding.

“No danger.”

He scanned it once.

After finding that it was the same as his Divine Sense scan, with no danger.

Mu Feng quickly went over and dug out the treasure chest under the coral reef.

This treasure chest had been lying at the bottom of the sea for an unknown amount of time.

It was covered in barnacles and seaweed.

Dense and numerous.

Fortunately, he didn’t have trypophobia.

Otherwise, he would have vomited.

After a quick clean-up.

Mu Feng opened the treasure chest.

Soon.

The items in the treasure chest appeared before his eyes.

There were three items in total.

They were a white pearl the size of a ping-pong ball.

Three blue stones.

And a crafting diagram.

Mu Feng picked them up one by one to examine them.

【Name: Sea Pearl】

【Year: 100 years】

【Description: A special product of the seabed, an item dug out from a hundred-year-old sea clam.】

【Effect: A main Material for refining snow soul pill.】

“Sea Pearl?”

“snow soul pill?”

Mu Feng nodded.

He didn’t know what a snow soul pill was.

But this pearl was quite good.

Even if he didn’t use it, he could sell it when he returned.

Putting away the pearl.

Mu Feng picked up the blue stone.

【water spirit stone: A stone containing a large amount of water element, which can be used to repair the Blue Abyss Array Flag.】

“water spirit stone!”

“Not bad, not bad!”

Seeing that this stone was precisely the water spirit stone he was looking for.

Mu Feng was excited.

The only minor flaw was that there were only three pieces.

However, he had just found three pieces right after coming down.

The remaining two should be gathered very soon.

He happily put away the water spirit stone.

Mu Feng turned to look at the third item.

This was a crafting diagram.

Mu Feng opened it to examine.

【Sound Transmission Talisman Crafting Diagram: A Talisman that can transmit one’s message over a long distance to another person’s ear.】

“Oh, this…”

Mu Feng, who had been happy moments before, saw the Talisman information in this crafting diagram, and his face darkened.

This thing might be useful elsewhere.

But in this Cave World, it was a bit useless.

Because everyone’s messages could be transmitted through private messages.

This Sound Transmission Talisman was like taking off pants to fart.

Possible, but unnecessary.

【System Reminder: Do you want to learn the Sound Transmission Talisman Crafting Diagram?】

“No.”

This kind of thing was completely useless to learn.

If it weren’t for his habit of picking up trash.

He wouldn’t even want to keep it.
