244: Ten Thousand Years Soul-nurturing Wood

Seeing the prompt,

Mu Feng immediately rushed towards the indicated location.

Not long after,

two tall, black spiritual trees appeared before him.

These spiritual trees looked exactly like the soul nourishing wood he had planted in his medicine garden.

Therefore, Mu Feng recognized them at a glance as the Ten Thousand Year Soul Nourishing Wood he was looking for.

“There are two of them!”

Mu Feng was overjoyed.

He had been worried that if there was only one, it might not be enough to refine a complete set of one hundred and eight Natal Flying Swords.

After all, the previous Ten Thousand Year Iron Wood had only yielded five pieces of ironwood.

But now, with two, there would be no problem.

“I wonder how old they are.”

Upon closer inspection, Mu Feng curiously began to examine the two Ten Thousand Year Soul Nourishing Wood.

Name: soul nourishing wood

Age: 23,000 years

Description: One of the three great divine woods of the Cultivation World. Wearing it can nourish the Divine Soul and Primordial Spirit, and it can also house the soul, ensuring the Divine Soul does not dissipate.

...

“Twenty-three thousand years!”

Seeing the age, Mu Feng was delighted.

The older the soul nourishing wood, the more powerful the Natal Flying Sword refined from it would be.

After the examination,

Mu Feng took out the Azure Dragon Flag and eagerly began to dig.

“Clang!”

Just like the previous Ten Thousand Year Iron Wood,

Mu Feng’s strike did not move the tree at all.

“Alright.”

It seemed impossible to transplant them back intact.

Seeing this, Mu Feng placed his hand on the two Ten Thousand Year Soul Nourishing Wood and began to decompose them.

Anyway, even if they were transplanted back, they would eventually need to be decomposed.

Decomposing them here was the same.

At most, it would just eliminate the possibility of replanting them.

However, he already had a thousand-year-old one in his medicine garden, so if needed in the future, he could slowly cultivate it.

System Reminder: Do you want to decompose the Ten Thousand Year Soul Nourishing Wood?

“Decompose.”

Mu Feng nodded.

Half a minute later,

System Reminder: Ten Thousand Year Soul Nourishing Wood x5

System Reminder: Ten Thousand Year Soul Nourishing Wood x5

The two trees together yielded ten pieces of Ten Thousand Year Soul Nourishing Wood.

One tree could refine twelve Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Swords.

One hundred and eight would require nine pieces.

The ten pieces obtained from decomposition were completely sufficient for his needs.

He even had one extra to spare for other uses.

Fearing any changes,

Mu Feng didn't dare to examine them further.

He immediately put them into his Storage Ring.

With the most important items from the Piaomiao Garden in hand,

Mu Feng no longer hesitated.

He directly took out the golden Return-to-City Talisman.

And used it to return to the city on the spot.

Perhaps there were still some Spiritual Plants and Spiritual Plants in the Piaomiao Garden that he hadn't discovered.

However, to prevent any accidents,

Mu Feng still chose the safest option of returning to the city.

After a flash of golden light,

Mu Feng returned to his Immortal Cave.

Safely back home,

Mu Feng's hanging heart finally settled down.

He was genuinely afraid that it would be like the last time on the Floating Island.

That someone would come out to stop him after he took the items.

Although such a possibility was small,

it was always better to be careful.

He stretched lazily.

Mu Feng released the little fox.

In fact, ever since entering the Piaomiao Garden, the little fox had been wanting to come out and play.

Looking at those spiritual plants and spiritual plants, the Little Lizard was incredibly greedy.

Unfortunately,

Mu Feng could not let it out.

Those were spiritual plants worth thousands or even tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

Each one was extremely valuable.

He was not so extravagant as to let the little fox waste them.

“Alright, alright!”

“This is for you!”

Seeing that the little fox seemed a bit unwilling to acknowledge him,

Mu Feng shook his head and smiled, taking out a piece of Scarlet Essence Fungus, the little fox's favorite, from his Storage Ring and throwing it over.

“Ying ying ying.”

Foodies were always easy to coax.

After a piece of Scarlet Essence Fungus went down.

The little fox became completely obedient to Mu Feng again.

Letting him stroke its soft fur.

After playing with the little fox for a while, Mu Feng, in a good mood, took out all the items he had obtained in the Secret Realm space and counted them again. Then, Mu Feng opened the Ancient Puppet Upgrade Scroll he had obtained earlier.

Upgrade requires: supreme soul stone 1/1, Fire Spirit Essence 0/1, Five Elements Jade 1/1, Ten Thousand Year Iron Wood 5/3, po jade 10/5.

After obtaining five Ten Thousand Year Iron Wood in the Piaomiao Garden this time, the Little Lizard's upgrade scroll Materials were only missing the last Fire Spirit Essence.

As long as he found the Fire Spirit Essence,

he could upgrade the Little Lizard into a Core Formation Puppet.

“Hmm, let’s check the Transaction Channel.”

Putting away the Ancient Puppet Upgrade Scroll, Mu Feng opened the Transaction Channel.

System Reminder: The Rejuvenation Talisman you sold on the Transaction Channel has been purchased. Mid-Grade Spirit Stones have been sent to your mailbox.

....

System Reminder: The Rejuvenation Talisman you sold on the Transaction Channel has been purchased. Mid-Grade Spirit Stones have been sent to your mailbox.

As soon as he opened the Transaction Channel,

a series of prompts appeared before Mu Feng's eyes.

“It sold out so quickly!”

“It seems I can raise the price a bit more.”

The items sold out completely in less than an hour after being listed, which showed Mu Feng a business opportunity.

“Hmm, if I sell them again later, I’ll raise the price to three Mid-Grade Spirit Stones per Talisman.”

Mu Feng thought to himself, putting the Mid-Grade Spirit Stones from his mailbox into his Storage Ring.

System Reminder: Mid-Grade Spirit Stone x20

Excluding costs,

he earned about eighteen Mid-Grade Spirit Stones this time.

This business was quite good.

He could check his private messages later to see if anyone had dan sand.

Closing the mailbox,

Mu Feng returned to the Transaction Channel and entered the Fire Spirit Essence he needed.

The search result was blank.

Mu Feng was already used to this situation.

Closing the Transaction Channel,

Mu Feng opened the World Chat Channel and Area Chat Channel.

And left an advertisement message on them.

Mu Feng: “Anyone who has Fire Spirit Essence and xiling stone can private message me. I can buy them at a high price, or I can share my experience on how I Advanced to Core Formation so quickly.”

After sending several messages in a row, Mu Feng closed the chat channel.

Fire Spirit Essence and xiling stone were the items he needed most right now.

As for the Core Formation experience,

it was just a gimmick by Mu Feng.

The purpose was to get everyone to help hype up the news of him collecting these two Materials.

As expected,

as soon as Mu Feng's message came out,

the entire World Chat Channel instantly boiled over.

“Holy crap? I didn’t see wrong, Senior Mu Feng is actually willing to share his Core Formation experience!”

“Experience of rapid advancement to Core Formation!!!”

“Holy crap, I really want to hear it. Does anyone have these two Materials?”

“xiling stone and Fire Spirit Essence! Whoever has these two things, I am willing to buy them at a high price!!!”

“Brother, don’t be foolish. Once this news comes out, I’m afraid no one will trade these things. Isn’t it better to just give them to Senior Mu Feng?”

....

Mu Feng's gimmick was very successful.

The news that he was willing to exchange his Core Formation advancement experience for Fire Spirit Essence and xiling stone spread throughout the entire Cave World in less than a few minutes.

Many people, after hearing this, began to exert themselves, wanting to exchange these two items with Mu Feng.

Especially those at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

They all wanted to know how Mu Feng had Advanced to Core Formation so quickly.

....

While everyone was discussing heatedly,

Inside the Immortal Cave.

Mu Feng was opening the private messages sent by people earlier.

“It seems my reputation is still good. I didn’t expect so many people to be willing to exchange Materials with me.”

Earlier, when he said he was collecting dan sand, Yellow Talisman Paper, and some Vermilion Fruit Aphrodisiac Wine,

Mu Feng had originally thought that few people would private message him.

But he didn't expect that after only exploring one Immortal Cave Secret Realm,

the number of private messages had exceeded 99.

And most of them came with items to inquire about trades.

Seeing this, Mu Feng

also quickly started trading with them.

Because the Yellow Talisman Paper was quite effective,

even if some people asked for a slightly higher price, Mu Feng could accept it.

After all, the wool comes from the sheep.

Not long after,

Mu Feng had gathered enough Materials for ten more batches of Rejuvenation Talismans.

The cost was around 1400 Spirit Stones.

As for the Vermilion Fruit Aphrodisiac Wine, many people were willing to trade other Materials.

However, since Mu Feng didn't have any extra hundred-year-old spiritual fruit,

he wasn't in a hurry to buy them.

Opening the Workshop,

Mu Feng brought up the Rejuvenation Talisman crafting blueprint.

And continued to craft Rejuvenation Talismans.

Because he had several crafting experiences, coupled with Mu Feng's Divine Soul, which was close to Nascent Soul,

he finished crafting all thirty Rejuvenation Talismans in less than half an hour.

If each was sold for 2 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, that would be 6000 Spirit Stones.

Exactly about four times the cost.

Mu Feng was very satisfied with this.

Opening the Transaction Channel, he listed them all.

Seller: Mu Feng

Area: 186

Trade Item: Rejuvenation Talisman

Demand: Mid-Grade Spirit Stone x1

Inventory: 30

Remarks: Medium Grade healing Talisman, limited quantity, first come, first served.

The Mid-Grade Spirit Stones required to upgrade the Immortal Cave was 300.

He currently only had 84 pieces.

He still needed 216 pieces to meet the upgrade requirements.

However, if this batch of Medium Grade Talismans could all be sold, then he would only need about a hundred more Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

Closing the Transaction Channel,

Mu Feng opened his private messages again to see if anyone had sent him xiling stone or Fire Spirit Essence.

After looking around, there were many private messages,

but they were all people trying to get his Core Formation experience for free.

After checking a few times and finding no results,

Mu Feng shook his head and closed it.

He stretched lazily.

After a simple ten-minute rest,

Mu Feng came to the Immortal Cave hall.

And began a new round of Immortal Cave Secret Realm exploration.

He now had twenty chances a day.

No use, no gain.

Opening his Spiritual Eye Divine Ability,

Mu Feng began to investigate the various Immortal Cave information.

The Secret Realm in the east has many Foundation Establishment Stage Yao Beasts and a silver treasure chest, but it probably holds no attraction for you.

Behind the light door in the Northeast Secret Realm is a Nascent Soul Late Stage Flying Spirit Race member, but he seems to be just passing by. You might not encounter him if you go in now, otherwise, killing him would surely yield many rewards, provided you can defeat him.

The Southeast Secret Realm is quite interesting. It’s actually a maze Secret Realm. If you can pass the maze test, you can obtain a platinum treasure chest. However, this maze cannot be explored with Divine Sense, so it might take some effort for you to pass.

Mu Feng finished reading the information for the three eastern Secret Realms at a glance.

The first one, with a silver treasure chest and Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts, held no attraction for Mu Feng, so he skipped it directly.

“A Nascent Soul Late Stage Flying Spirit Race member?”

“It seems I've been encountering Immortal Cave creatures quite frequently recently.”

He didn't know if it was because he had reached Core Formation.

Recently, almost every time he explored the Immortal Cave Secret Realm, he would encounter one or two.

This made Mu Feng very puzzled.

“Forget it, I won’t go into the second one.”

Shaking his head,

Mu Feng passed on the second Immortal Cave Secret Realm.

A Nascent Soul Late Stage Flying Spirit Race member should be quite strong.

And from the information, it seemed to be just passing by, so there was no need to waste a chance on such a thing.

Moreover, even if he encountered it, he might not be able to defeat it.

Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators were much harder to deal with than seventh-tier Yao Beasts.

He didn't need to take this risk to deal with a Nascent Soul Late Stage Immortal Cave creature.

The third Immortal Cave Secret Realm had a platinum treasure chest, which seemed quite good, and there was no danger.

Most normal people would probably choose it.

But Mu Feng was different.

His sense of direction was poor.

Such a maze was nothing short of a nightmare for him.

“Forget it, forget it, let’s see what else there is later.”

Mu Feng got a headache just by looking at the part that said Divine Sense couldn't be used.

He skipped it and looked at the remaining Immortal Cave Secret Realms.

He blinked his eyes.

The information for the three western Immortal Cave Secret Realms also appeared before Mu Feng.

The Immortal Cave in the west is a bit poor, it is not recommended for you to enter.

Behind the light gate in the northwest is an Undersea Secret Realm, with many golden treasure chests, but the area is a bit large, you may need to search for a while.

Beneath the southwest Immortal Cave teleportation gate is actually a patch of hundred-year-old spiritual plants, which might just meet your needs.

“Oh, the southwest one seems viable.”

Seeing that there were many hundred-year-old spiritual plants inside, Mu Feng's eyes lit up.

If he wanted to brew Vermilion Fruit Aphrodisiac Wine, these hundred-year-old spiritual plants would be a good choice.

Actually, the second one was also acceptable.

Multiple golden treasure chests.

But the description said the Secret Realm was very large and would require a long search.

So Mu Feng directly passed on it.

golden treasure chests could at most yield excellent Magical Artifacts.

The attraction for him was not high.

“Hmm, no rush, there are still two more.”

Although he was leaning towards the Secret Realm with many hundred-year-old spiritual plants,

Mu Feng wasn't in a hurry to enter.

There were still two more, and maybe something good would come out of them.

The Secret Realm in the south is a sea area Secret Realm, with many Sea Pearls you need.

The Immortal Cave Secret Realm in the north has nothing, it is not recommended for you to choose.

“Sea Pearls?”

“It seems to be a material for refining snow soul pills.”

Of the remaining two Secret Realms, the northern one had no resources, so Mu Feng directly passed on it.

The other one was a sea area Secret Realm.

It contained many Sea Pearls that he needed to refine snow soul pills.

“Hmm, should I get the spiritual plants to refine Vermilion Fruit Aphrodisiac Wine, or keep the Sea Pearls for future refinement of snow soul pills?”

All eight Secret Realms this time were ordinary.

Only these two somewhat interested Mu Feng.

“Hmm, I’ll gather the hundred-year-old spiritual plants for the Vermilion Fruit Aphrodisiac Wine first.”

After a moment of hesitation,

Mu Feng finally chose the hundred-year-old spiritual plants used to refine Vermilion Fruit Aphrodisiac Wine.

The reason was simple.

All the Materials for the Vermilion Fruit Aphrodisiac Wine were already gathered; he just needed to obtain the hundred-year-old spiritual plants to start brewing.

As for the snow soul pill, he still needed to gather several other Materials.

With this comparison,

Mu Feng naturally chose the Secret Realm with the hundred-year-old spiritual plants.

This wine was quite good, with the effect of strengthening the body.

As for whether it was for strengthening yang or anything, Mu Feng didn't care.

With his strength, he didn't need it.
