296: Preparation before the Trial Conference

Returning to his Immortal Cave, Mu Feng immediately took out the mushroom fungi he had just acquired.

Each of these mushroom fungi was formed from the essence of Medicine Spirit.

Consuming them raw could boost one's three-dimensional attributes.

Picking one up, Mu Feng directly put it into his mouth and ate it.

“Huh, it actually tastes pretty good, soft and smooth.”

Mu Feng had originally thought the mushroom fungi would be very astringent, but he didn't expect them to taste so good.

It felt like eating jelly.

In a short while, he had eaten the entire mushroom fungus.

Once the fungi entered his stomach, they transformed into a pure energy that began to transform Mu Feng's Physical Body.

His already sturdy body became even more compact under the fungi's transformation.

However, this energy came quickly and left just as quickly.

Before Mu Feng could properly feel it, it had already disappeared.

“It really seems to have increased a lot of strength and defense!”

Mu Feng stretched his limbs.

He found that after consuming these mushroom fungi, his strength and defense had both significantly increased.

As for his speed, since he was in his Immortal Cave, he couldn't fully unleash it.

He didn't know how much it had increased.

But he genuinely felt the increase in strength and defense.

“Again!”

Feeling the benefits of these mushroom fungi, Mu Feng picked up another one and consumed it.

After another moment of soft and smooth texture, that pure energy continued to generate within his body, constantly strengthening his Physical Body.

“Again, again!”

As soon as the energy from the second fungus disappeared, Mu Feng eagerly continued to eat more.

....

Just like that, Mu Feng consumed all the mushroom fungi, one after another, that were formed from Medicine Spirit essence.

Soon, the last mushroom fungus was also absorbed by him.

After eating seven mushroom fungi in a row, Mu Feng's speed, strength, and defense were all greatly enhanced.

Whoosh!

“So fast!”

He threw a punch.

Mu Feng immediately noticed something extraordinary.

After consuming seven Medicine Spirit essences in a row, his speed also became noticeable.

This increased speed was not only for travel and movement techniques.

Even his punching speed and the speed at which he formed hand seals for Magic Arts were noticeably improving.

This was truly abnormal.

Besides speed, the improvement in his Physical Body's strength and defense was the most obvious.

“It should have increased by about one-third.”

After a casual test, Mu Feng quickly deduced the enhancement that the Medicine Spirit essence had brought him.

One-third was actually a lot, especially given that his Physical Body was already stronger than a normal Core Formation Body Cultivator.

If a normal Cultivator consumed it, Mu Feng felt it should be able to increase their attributes by several times.

This showed the incredible power of these mushroom fungi.

Compared to the spiritual plant that exploded, those mushroom fungi obtained later were the true treasures of the Medicine Spirit.

“Fortunately, the System gave me a final reminder; I almost missed it.”

“I love you, System!”

Although Mu Feng often complained about the System, it was quite reliable at critical moments.

It should be said that it was always reliable, just a bit playful sometimes.

After moving his body again and feeling the changes brought about by consuming the Medicine Spirit essence, Mu Feng walked towards the forging room, preparing to begin refining the tuoyuan pill.

Opening the Workshop, Mu Feng pulled out the Tuoyuan Pill Pill Recipe.

【tuoyuan pill: azure blue fruit 1/1, seven-tier demon core 1/1, gold filament grass 5/3, Heavenly Star Flower 5/3】

【System Reminder: tuoyuan pill Materials have been gathered. Do you wish to begin Alchemy?】

“Alchemy.”

Mu Feng nodded.

He took out all the required Materials for refining the tuoyuan pill and placed them into the Pill Furnace one by one.

His technique was skilled.

In a short while, he had processed all the Materials needed for the Medicinal Pill Alchemy.

After adding some huo yan grass to help with combustion, Mu Feng activated the earth fire in the forging room.

As the flames rose, the Pill Furnace began to spin rapidly.

The tuoyuan pill Alchemy would still take some time.

Mu Feng took the opportunity to open the World Chat Channel to see if there was any useful information to gather.

Tomorrow was the start of the Trial Tournament.

He believed many people would be preparing.

“Trial Tournament tomorrow, anyone want to team up? More people means more safety. Based on past experience, every time such a large-scale Secret Realm opens, it will be accompanied by slaughter. Soloing is very dangerous!”

“Anyone have Lianjin Clay? High price for Lianjin Clay.”

“Seeking Sacred Spirit Pill, whoever has Sacred Spirit Pill, private message me. I'm willing to pay a high price.”

“High price for Medicinal Pills that restore magic power and healing Medicinal Pills. Private message me if you have them.”

“Who has an unused Advanced Magic Treasure? I'm willing to pay 100,000 Spirit Stones for it.”

“Fellow Daoist, you want an Advanced Magic Treasure for just 100,000 Spirit Stones? You're dreaming.”

“The normal price is around 150,000 Spirit Stones. Are you serious about acquiring one for 100,000 Spirit Stones, or are you just joking?”

....

It was pretty much as Mu Feng expected.

In the World Chat Channel, many people were preparing for the upcoming Trial Tournament.

They were either seeking Medicinal Pills, Magic Treasures, or Materials.

Mu Feng watched for a while.

Then he also sent a few messages offering a high price for Lingxi Grass.

However, they were quickly pushed down the feed shortly after being sent.

Seeing this, Mu Feng directly exited.

Then he opened another World Chat Channel.

It was similar to the central area's.

Here, everyone was also preparing for the Trial Tournament.

After several days, many people had already reached Core Formation.

They were all seeking Materials to refine their Lifebound Treasure.

These people included Han Yuyan.

In fact, Mu Feng still had quite a bit of geng essence, Refining Crystal, and some Magic Treasure refining Materials left.

Including Ten Thousand Year Soul Nourishing Wood, he still had a section unused.

However, this Ten Thousand Year Soul Nourishing Wood was too precious.

Even if Mu Feng intended to sell it, they couldn't afford it.

Other Magic Treasure refining Materials could be sold.

Firstly, selling them at this time would fetch a much higher price than usual, allowing him to earn more.

Secondly, since they were all from the same batch, Mu Feng also hoped their combat power would be stronger.

What if there were ranking rewards this time, just like before? With their current combat power, they wouldn't be a hindrance.

Immediately, Mu Feng also left a message there.

Mu Feng.186: “I still have some Refining Crystal, geng essence, Warm Stone, and other Magic Treasure refining Materials. If anyone needs them, you can private message me directly. Of course, the price will be a bit higher than usual.”

Mu Feng.186: “Additionally, if anyone has Lingxi Grass, please tell me. I am willing to exchange it for Magic Treasures, Nascent Soul Stage Medicinal Pills, or even dustfall pills that can increase the chance of Core Formation.”

As soon as Mu Feng sent these two messages, the previously noisy World Chat Channel instantly fell silent.
