301: Wuxialian

After storing the poison swamp frog meat, Mu Feng turned his head to look at the last two items.

“poison swamp frog tongue: The tough tongue of the Poison Swamp Frog, which can be used as the main material for crafting whip-type Magic Treasures.”

“Poison Swamp Frog Poison Sac: The Poison Swamp Frog’s poison storage, which can be used to refine poisons or feed Poisonous Scorpions.”

One item was a Magic Treasure crafting material.

The other was a poison crafting material.

After a quick glance, Mu Feng stored them all in his Storage Ring.

Everyone was currently looking for Magic Treasure crafting Materials.

When he returned later, he could sell some of the Yao Beast Materials he had on hand.

He could exchange them for Spirit Stones while the prices were high.

As for the poison sac, he could keep it; he wasn’t sure if the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion could continue to grow after evolving into its complete form.

He could try feeding it then to see the effect.

All the items had been examined.

However, Mu Feng was not in a hurry to leave this Secret Realm space.

Instead, he began searching the entire swamp to see if anything good had been overlooked.

Logically speaking, places guarded by such exotic beasts usually contained good things.

“Found it!”

“There really is something!”

After some searching, Mu Feng’s Divine Sense detected a Five-Colored Lotus in the swamp not far away.

He immediately flew towards it rapidly.

After consuming a large amount of Medicine Spirit essence, Mu Feng’s speed was even greater than before.

In less than a single breath, he arrived at the location of the Five-Colored Lotus.

“It smells so good!”

As soon as he arrived, Mu Feng smelled waves of clear fragrance emanating from the Five-Colored Lotus.

This greatly surprised Mu Feng.

It was not common for Spirit Flowers to have an unusual fragrance.

But don’t forget, this was an extremely foul-smelling swamp.

To be able to emit such a clear fragrance in such a foul-smelling place showed how fragrant this lotus was.

Mu Feng took deep breaths of the fragrant air.

Since entering this Secret Realm, he hadn’t had a good breath of air.

Now, smelling this captivating fragrance, he felt as if he had “heard celestial music, and his ears were momentarily clear.”

“I wonder what kind of Spirit Flower this is, to be so fragrant?”

After taking a few breaths of the fragrant air, Mu Feng carefully observed the Five-Colored Lotus before him.

This was an unopened Five-Colored Lotus, its outer layers wrapped in five colors: red, orange, green, and cyan.

It was evident that this was a rare female flower.

Don’t ask how he knew.

The answer was that it didn’t have “blue-purple.”

Below the Spirit Flower was still the foul-smelling mud swamp, which made Mu Feng even more curious about this Spirit Flower.

He wanted to know what kind of Spirit Flower it was that could bloom with such a captivating fragrance in such a foul-smelling place.

His Spiritual Eye Divine Power activated.

Soon, the Five-Colored Lotus’s information appeared before his eyes.

“Name: Five-Colored Lotus”

“Year: ???”

“Description: A type of Spirit Flower that likes to grow in foul and decaying areas. When mature, its fragrance can permeate the entire mud swamp, making it a true immortal-grade Spirit Medicine. Mortals who consume it can be brought back to life and extend their lifespan. Cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm who consume it can forcefully advance one Realm.”

“Effect: Consuming it raw can elevate one’s Realm.”

“Note: The Five-Colored Lotus withers upon contact with metal and dries up upon contact with wood. It must be picked by hand.”

...

“Five-Colored Lotus? That name is quite fitting.”

“Mortals who consume it can be brought back to life, and Nascent Soul Cultivators who consume it can forcefully advance one Realm!!!”

“Holy moly!!!”

Mu Feng, who had been calm, directly cursed when he saw the effects of the Five-Colored Lotus.

Nothing else.

Only because its effects were too Heaven-Defying.

Anyone who saw something that could allow Cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm to forcefully advance one Realm would not remain calm.

Perhaps even the Spirit Pills and miraculous medicines in heaven were no more than this.

“Good, good, good!”

Mu Feng said “good” several times in a row to calm his inner excitement.

With this, he could directly advance to the Nascent Soul Late Stage Realm.

This was truly the greatest gain from his recent Secret Realm trips.

“Hmm, let’s first check if there are any other dangers.”

Although the Spirit Flower was good, Mu Feng was not in a hurry to approach it.

Instead, he first used his Spiritual Eye Divine Power to investigate the nearby swamp area.

To avoid another Poison Swamp Frog hiding in the mud swamp, which would be troublesome.

As his True Qi was input, Mu Feng’s eyes turned deep blue.

However, as soon as it touched the mud swamp, he could no longer probe even a bit.

“Uh, I forgot this swamp couldn’t be probed.”

Mu Feng scratched his head.

He had been too excited just now and had forgotten that these mud swamps had the ability to block probing.

“What should I do? This Five-Colored Lotus cannot be picked with Magic Treasures or other items.”

The Five-Colored Lotus withered upon contact with metal and dried up upon contact with wood.

If he wanted to pick it, he had to get close.

But if he got close, he didn’t know the situation in the mud swamp, and it would be easy to encounter danger.

This made Mu Feng feel a bit troubled.

“Don’t worry, the Five-Colored Lotus has not fully matured yet and has not attracted any powerful Yao Beasts. The original guarding Yao Beast, the Poison Swamp Frog, has already been killed by you. You can pick it with complete peace of mind.”

Just as Mu Feng was feeling indecisive, a red prompt appeared before his eyes.

“No danger!”

Seeing the prompt, Mu Feng was overjoyed.

“Ah, it hasn’t matured yet?”

The prompt brought both joy and sorrow.

The joy was that there was no danger here, and he could pick it with complete peace of mind.

The sorrow was that this Five-Colored Lotus had not fully matured yet.

Which meant that if he picked it, he wouldn’t be able to use it.

“Yes, it hasn’t matured yet. When the Five-Colored Lotus matures, all five petals will open, and its fragrance will fill the entire Secret Realm space.”

“This Five-Colored Lotus is still a flower bud, and its fragrance has not permeated the entire swamp.”

The prompt that appeared again made Mu Feng worry once more.

“It hasn’t matured yet, so isn’t this a false alarm?”

This Five-Colored Lotus didn’t look like it would bloom anytime soon.

He couldn’t just wait in this Secret Realm indefinitely, could he?

That was not realistic.

After all, the Trial Tournament was about to begin, and that concerned an Opportunity to form a Nascent Soul.

That was far more important than this Five-Colored Lotus.

But Mu Feng was reluctant to give up.

This was a treasure that could allow him to advance one Realm.

“Should I use a Clone Talisman to wait here? And pick the Five-Colored Lotus directly when it blooms?”

Mu Feng immediately thought of the stone talisman he had obtained earlier.

But he quickly rejected the idea.

“No, no, this stone talisman is far more precious than the Five-Colored Lotus.”

The stone talisman was equivalent to a master of the same Realm, and the later it was used, the more powerful it would be.

Clearly, its practical value was higher than the Five-Colored Lotus.

Even without the Five-Colored Lotus, he could still Cultivate to the Nascent Soul Late Stage Realm; it would just take a longer time.

There was no need to use the precious Incarnation stone talisman just to shorten some time.

“Are you stupid? Just because this Five-Colored Lotus hasn’t matured doesn’t mean you can’t transplant it!”

As if sensing Mu Feng’s dilemma, the red prompt appeared.

“Eh!”

“Can it be transplanted? Didn’t it say it could only grow in foul mud swamp areas?”

Mu Feng remembered that the Five-Colored Lotus’s description mentioned it growing in mud swamp areas.

“It just likes to grow in this area, but it doesn’t necessarily have to grow here. Moreover, it has already entered the maturing stage and no longer needs to absorb nutrients from here.”

The red prompt appeared again.
