Lin Mu looked up and t the gazes of his companions.
Daoist Chu.
Cattaleya.
Elyon.
For a brief mont, Lin Mu could have sworn he saw sothing shining in their eyes.
Gold.
Not taphorically.
It was as if three pairs of eyes had turned into glowing immortal stone ledgers calculating profit.
Cattaleya grabbed Lin Mu by the shoulders with startling intensity.
"Do you know what this ans?" she demanded.
Lin Mu blinked. "What?"
Daoist Chu's expression grew solemn, his tone slow and deliberate.
"If this water has such potent nourishing effects on the skin..."
Elyon finished the sentence smoothly.
"...its value is imnse."
Lin Mu frowned. "Is it really that big of a deal?"
All three of them stared at him.
Cattaleya was the first to explode.
"Are you kidding ?" she said incredulously. "Do you have any idea how obsessed female cultivators are with beauty?"
Daoist Chu nodded gravely. "Beauty-related pills, elixirs, salves, and cultivation arts have always commanded absurd prices. Entire sects have been built on that alone."
Elyon crossed his arms. "There are alchemists who do nothing but refine beauty-enhancing products. They are among the wealthiest people in the immortal realms."
Lin Mu hesitated. "But how much could I even produce? And would it be worth the effort?"
Cattaleya's grip tightened.
"Try," she said simply.
So he did.
For the next two hours, Lin Mu sat cross-legged in the courtyard with a large barrel of ordinary water beside him. He focused on extracting water from his skin in a controlled manner, letting it condense into a clean container, then drank deeply to replenish himself.
Again.
And again.
And again.
At first, it was slow.
But as he refined his control, the process beca smoother. More efficient. Almost rhythmic.
By the ti two hours passed, Lin Mu opened his eyes and looked at the container beside him.
Over twenty liters.
Everyone stared at it.
"...That's it?" Lin Mu asked uncertainly.
Cattaleya walked over, dipped a finger into the container, and lightly dabbed a single drop onto her skin.
She waited.
Her skin glowed faintly.
Daoist Chu did the sa.
Elyon followed.
They exchanged looks.
"That's... strong" Elyon said quietly.
They tested it carefully over the following days.
A single drop was enough to nourish the skin of an entire arm.
A few drops could cover the whole body.
The effects were imdiate, intense, and unmistakable.
And most shockingly of all, the effects lasted an entire week.
When the glow finally faded, the skin returned to normal, not worse. There
were no side effects, no backlash, no hidden damage.
"It doesn't last as long as so pills," Daoist Chu admitted. "But the effect is far
more potent."
Cattaleya grinned. "And it doesn't need alchemy"
Elyon's eyes glead. "No pill resistance. No compatibility issues. No refining
failure."
Lin Mu slowly realized the implications.
This was not just a product.
It was a treasure.
Daoist Chu placed a hand on Lin Mu's shoulder. "You should sell this."
Lin Mu hesitated. "I don't know how much it would be worth."
Daoist Chu smiled thinly. "Trust . It will sell."
He paused, then added, "You should contact Lady Kang when we reach the next
world. She'll know exactly how to handle it."
Lin Mu nodded slowly. "I'll think about it."
Ti continued to pass within the Spatial Channel.
Their routine stabilized once more. Cultivation. Training. Study.
And then, without much fanfare, Lin Mu felt it.
A change.
A pull.
The spatial currents around them shifted subtly, growing denser, more structured. The distant pressure of a world boundary pressed against his
senses.
Lin Mu opened his eyes.
"We're close," he said.
Everyone looked up.
He could feel it clearly now.
The Fox Scion World was approaching.
After eight long months since leaving the Fifteen Ryze World, their journey was
finally nearing its end.
"Get ready," Lin Mu said calmly.
But deep in his eyes, anticipation burned.
The sensation of the spatial channel shifting grew stronger with every passing
mont.
Lin Mu stood at the edge of the mobile courtyard, his robes fluttering faintly
from the currents of spatial energy rushing past them. The vast tunnel of darkness that had surrounded them for months was beginning to change. The chaotic streams of darknes slowly stabilized, forming structured bands of energy that curved forward like guiding rails as color began to flow into them. "We're entering the world boundary," Daoist Chu said softly as he stepped
beside Lin Mu.
The others gathered nearby as well.
Cattaleya stretched her arms lazily, cracking her knuckles. "About ti. Eight months inside a tunnel is enough to make anyone bored."
ng Bai looked both excited and nervous. "Is this really the Fox Scion World?"
Lin Mu nodded.
"I can feel its spatial signature clearly now."
Monts later, the spatial tunnel ahead widened and brightened.
Then everything flashed white.
A loud humming vibration echoed through the space around them as the
teleportation array activated its final stage.
WHOOM
The mobile courtyard vanished from the spatial channel and disappeared into
Lin Mu's storage.
Lin Mu's group landed smoothly on the teleportation platform as the glowing formation beneath them slowly dimd.
The first thing Lin Mu noticed was the architecture.
The teleportation hall was massive, with ceilings nearly thirty ters high. The
structure was made from dark brown and gray stone that carried the weight of centuries. Every pillar was carved with dense formations and ancient runic
arrays that glowed faintly with lingering power.
It looked old.
Very old. Not dilapidated, but aged in the way that long standing institutions often were.
Lin Mu's immortal sense spread slightly.
There were not many people present.
Most of them were gathered around nearby formation screens and monitoring
stations. Judging by their robes and the formation plates in their hands, they were clearly the staff and formation masters responsible for maintaining the
teleportation array.
A few of them froze when they saw Lin Mu's group appear.
Then whispers erupted among them.
"That... that was an inter-world arrival."
"But we didn't receive any notice!" "Where did they co from?"
