48: Reach the treasure map location

Returning to his Immortal Cave, Mu Feng began to tally the gains from this Immortal Cave exploration.

The gains from this Immortal Cave exploration are as follows: Bristle Pig Meat x10 (originally ten pieces, Mu Feng ate one), Bristle Pig Hide x3, Ice Spike x7, cold jade pearl x2, ice mountain snow lotus x8, ice mountain snow lotus seed x5, ice origin fruit x1, Spirit Stone - 20 (bought two ice boxes and one jade box).

Currently, the total number of Spirit Stones Mu Feng possesses is 339.

The most significant gains this time should be the cold jade pearl and the ice origin fruit.

The cold jade pearl is an important material for him to Cultivate the Divine Origin Skill.

The ice origin fruit, on the other hand, is valuable in itself.

Just by seeing its name is purple, he knew its value was not low.

(The item rarity ranking in the Cave World is: White, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange, Red, Gold.)

The highest Mu Feng had seen so far was orange.

That was the Divine Origin Skill.

Other things, like the Azure Origin Sword Art, were only blue because they were incomplete.

However, judging by the performance of the Azure Origin Sword Art, Mu Feng felt that the complete version's value would definitely be no less than that of the Divine Origin Skill.

After organizing the newly acquired items and placing the less frequently used Materials into the treasure chest, Mu Feng walked towards the last Immortal Cave marked on the treasure map.

“Now, it’s time to see the Immortal Cave information from this treasure map!”

With anticipation, Mu Feng excitedly scanned the Immortal Cave ahead.

Soon, several red prompts appeared before him.

[Wow! You're going to get rich! There's a platinum treasure chest in this Cave Secret Realm! How about it, aren't you happy?]

[But what I’m about to tell you is that this Immortal Cave is extremely dangerous. If you enter with your current strength, you might be lost forever inside, becoming a soulless walking corpse. How about it, are you afraid?]

“The treasure chest inside is indeed a platinum treasure chest!”

When the first prompt appeared, Mu Feng was incredibly excited.

His guess was indeed correct.

That treasure chest was even larger than a golden treasure chest.

It must be above a golden treasure chest.

However, before he could be excited for a few seconds, he saw the second red prompt.

“Damn it, can’t the dog System just show all the information at once?”

“I despise you, Convex(＞ dish＜) Convex”

“Becoming a soulless walking corpse, could it be that there are means of Soul attack inside?”

Mu Feng immediately grasped the key point.

[You guessed right! The creatures inside this Immortal Cave will attack the Soul. If your Divine Sense is too weak, you will be trapped inside forever, becoming a soulless walking corpse!]

[So, my suggestion is to raise your Divine Sense strength first.]

[Oh, right, if you can Cultivate the first layer of the Divine Origin Skill, it should be enough.]

[Oh, by the way, besides needing to Cultivate your Divine Sense, your current combat power is also a bit strained, so try your best to improve your strength.]

The red prompts jumped out again.

This time, it was quite detailed.

“Damn, that’s so difficult.”

Mu Feng couldn’t help but complain.

Although he knew the platinum treasure chest wouldn't be easy to get, this was a bit too difficult.

However, giving up was impossible for him.

After all, that was a platinum treasure chest, more precious than a golden treasure chest!

It had a very high chance of containing the incomplete pages of the Azure Origin Sword Art.

He knew the power of the Azure Origin Sword Art, and he definitely had to get the incomplete pages inside.

“Let’s take it slow. First, Cultivate the Divine Origin Skill.”

He still had one night to prepare.

The most important thing now was to refine the Soul Summoning Pill.

The most crucial part of this challenge was strengthening his Divine Sense.

Cultivating the Divine Origin Skill to the first layer was the most urgent task at the moment.

“I wonder how the Yao Beast Materials I put up for sale are doing. I hope I can gather six.”

The Soul Summoning Pill still required six essence of vegetation.

Mu Feng thought to himself as he opened the Transaction Channel.

[System Reminder: Your Qing Ling Pill has been successfully sold, acquiring essence of vegetation x1]

[System Reminder: Your Qing Ling Pill has been successfully sold, acquiring Soul x1]

.....

[System Reminder: Your snake venom has been successfully sold, acquiring essence of vegetation x1]

[System Reminder: Your Bristle Pig Hide has been successfully sold, acquiring essence of vegetation x1]

As soon as Mu Feng opened the Transaction Channel, several messages popped up.

All of them were successful transaction notifications.

Mu Feng took a look.

There were a total of twelve messages.

Eight of them were for Qing Ling Pills.

The remaining four were for the Yao Beast Materials he sold later.

Among these twelve traded items, there were five Souls and seven essence of vegetation.

The reason why the proportion of essence of vegetation was higher than Soul this time was because the Yao Beast Materials he sold later only required essence of vegetation.

Opening his mailbox, he took out all the Materials.

[System Reminder: essence of vegetation x7]

[System Reminder: Soul x5]

“It wasn’t easy, but I finally gathered them all!”

He had four essence of vegetation on hand, plus these seven he just acquired, so all the Soul Summoning Pill Materials were gathered.

Mu Feng opened his Workshop and checked the Pill Formula for the Soul Summoning Pill.

[Soul Summoning Pill: cold jade pearl 2/2, essence of vegetation 10/11, Soul 10/22]

[System Reminder: The Materials for the Soul Summoning Pill have been gathered. Do you want to refine it?]

“Refine!”

He had been collecting these Materials for so long, wasn't he waiting for this moment?

As soon as the System message appeared, Mu Feng immediately clicked refine.

[System Reminder: Please put the Materials into the Pill Furnace.]

Mu Feng was quite skilled in Alchemy.

As soon as the prompt appeared, he placed the Materials correctly.

[System Reminder: cold jade pearl - 2, Soul - 10, essence of vegetation - 10]

As the Materials were put in, the entire Pill Furnace began to rotate.

After the Pill Furnace started operating, it would take some time before the pills were formed.

Taking advantage of this interval, he opened the regional channel to see how everyone was doing.

At this time, it was already close to nightfall. Except for a small number of people who were still out exploring Immortal Caves and hadn't returned, most people were operating their Cultivation Techniques while chatting idly.

A large number of people had already started encountering each other today.

Most people chose to form alliances or leave each other after friendly exchanges.

However, a small number of people chose to seize resources.

There were three types of people who chose to plunder resources:

Those who killed to silence, those who only took resources without killing, and those who were outmatched and got killed instead.

Among them, killing to silence was the least common.

Or rather, the fewest examples that people knew about.

After all, if a killer wasn't foolish, they wouldn't actively talk about their killings and provoke everyone's hostility.

And the killed wouldn't speak even more, since dead men tell no tales.

Taking resources without killing was the most common.

Many people still hadn't completely lost their humanity.

As for whether that would change in the future, that was another matter.

“Please stop the infighting. Our enemies are the Immortal Cave Yao Beasts.”

“Exactly, cooperation is so much better.”

“Murder is illegal, everyone please abide by the law.”

....

It had to be said, some people were truly naive.

They actually brought the rules of the civilized world here.

However, Mu Feng wasn't concerned about these things.

Anyway, his current principle was not to actively kill or plunder resources.

But if anyone provoked him, then he wouldn't be polite.

Closing the regional channel, Mu Feng opened the world channel.

As soon as he entered, he stumbled upon gossip about himself.
