Chapter 65 Taking a Bath
"nice one!"
Luo Sifan struggled to get up, drawn by the scent.
"You'd better stay put!"
Lin Qianxiu tightened her arms. Of course she knew what this meant; Luo Sifan's actions were completely unnecessary.
No matter how many cave passages there were, Lin Qianxiu remained unfazed and continued walking without the slightest hesitation.
Luo Sifan was unable to move, and the look of surprise on his face grew stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, the scene brightened, neither sun nor moon, neither candle nor firewood, but a flowing red and yellow light reflected from the rock wall.
The smell of underground ore, with its complex, smelting metallic odor, was so strong that it masked the faint fragrance.
"A molten pool of magma!"
Luo Sifan sighed softly, thankfully there was no scorching heat around them, presumably they were still quite far away.
Earth fire is a common substance, but it often flows outwards, possessing extremely yang energy that is mixed and impure. The things it produces and the treasures it contains are generally of average value.
The molten pool of earth fire is a rare sight, exceeding ten thousand fathoms in depth, hidden in the deepest caves of the underworld, a place beyond human comprehension.
Over the years, the treasures contained within the molten pool of earth and fire, depending on the quality of the pool itself, have a high probability of becoming first-class rare treasures of heaven and earth.
Luo Sifan was itching to get his hands on something, but Lin Qianxiu turned and entered the cave passage, gradually moving further and further away from the molten pool of earth fire.
"We've only just begun, what's the rush?"
Lin Qianxiu clearly understood Luo Sifan's expression and reaction, and teased him with a few words.
The implication is that there are even better treasures ahead.
Wherever he went, there was light, a faint white light emanating from the stone walls. As the white substance on the cave walls gradually thickened, Luo Sifan's vision became brighter and brighter.
The fragrance permeating the air had long since diluted the scent of earth fire, seeping into the body through the nasal cavity and spreading into the meridians and acupoints.
There seemed to be a subtle change within Luo Sifan's body.
"arrive!"
Lin Qianxiu said something indifferently, stepped into a stone chamber, and casually put Luo Sifan down.
The stone chamber was less than ten feet in circumference, its surface crystal clear and white as snow. A perfectly round stalactite, resembling an inverted bell, hung high above, its surface glistening with clear liquid.
A clear stream of liquid dripped continuously from the end of the stalactite.
Beneath Luo Sifan's feet lay a snow-white stone slope that resembled shimmering patterns, clearly formed by the condensation of molten stone dripping day and night over millions of years.
Below the snowflake stone slope, clear liquid gathers into a pool, emitting a fragrant aroma.
"Millennial Stone Marrow? Marrow Spirit Liquid?"
Luo Sifan reached out and touched the snow-white stone wall, pinched some white ointment, sucked the clear liquid in his mouth, and exclaimed with great joy.
The Ten-Thousand-Year Stone Marrow is a rare and precious natural treasure, containing the essence of heaven and earth. It is extremely useful in the refining of pills of the sixth rank and above, and can greatly increase the probability of successful pill formation.
As for the Marrow Essence Liquid, even Luo Sifan had never seen the real thing; he only knew of its wonders from rumors and scriptures.
Now, a whole pool of it lay before him. Luo Sifan was both delighted and surprised, already planning in his mind how to pack it up and take it with him.
Lin Qianxiu glanced at Luo Sifan, who seemed lost in thought, then kicked off her small leather boots, her white feet stepping onto the shimmering stone surface formed from millennia-old stone marrow.
The white skin on her feet, crystal clear like jade, was more alluring than the pure white ethereal beauty of the ancient stone marrow.
"Lin Qianxiu! What...do you want to do?"
Luo Sifan was startled by Lin Qianxiu's actions. This was a ten-thousand-year-old stone marrow! Her feet, which had been covered all day, were just going to be trampled on like that?
Even with Lin Qianxiu's level of cultivation, there would be no traces of mortal matter or strange smells on her feet.
Luo Sifan still felt a pang of heartache at the waste of such precious material. In his memory, this ten-thousand-year-old stone marrow was a precious alchemical treasure that his family kept in jade bottles with golden stoppers and could not easily show to others.
Lin Qianxiu not only ignored her, but also stomped on the ground with even greater force.
The ancient stone marrow was as brittle as snow, making a crunching sound, leaving behind a series of delicate and well-proportioned footprints of Lin Qianxiu.
"you!…"
Luo Sifan was heartbroken and furious outside the stone room. She pointed at Lin Qianxiu and almost rushed in to drag her out.
However, they were immediately speechless.
The black dress fell down on its own without any wind, sliding off Lin Qianxiu's body and hanging softly to the ground.
Lin Qianxiu's stunningly naked back was laid bare before us.
Luo Sifan's eyes instantly became bloodshot from the shock, and his visual acuity increased dramatically.
Lin Qianxiu walked with a swaying waist, which was no different from swaying in front of him.
Immediately, a strong sense of crisis crushed Luo Sifan's romantic thoughts into dust.
Oh no! My marrow essence liquid!
Lin Qianxiu swayed her hips and, under Luo Sifan's incredulous gaze, stepped into the stone pool filled with marrow spirit liquid and leisurely began to soak in the bath.
She casually tossed the undergarment behind her, and it fluttered onto the black dress.
"Lin Qianxiu! You're actually taking a bath here!"
Upon waking up, Luo Sifan stomped her feet angrily outside the stone chamber.
Lin Qianxiu remained calm and composed, unconcerned by Luo Sifan's overreaction. She then untied her hair from the bun, letting her black hair fall freely over her snow-white shoulders.
Then he contentedly submerged himself completely in the pool.
Luo Sifan kept nagging, while Lin Qianxiu swam and turned in the pool, causing the marrow spirit liquid in the pool to overflow.
The sound of splashing water pained Luo Sifan so much that she took off her shoes and socks and carefully walked in.
The pool water was crystal clear, almost as if nothing was there. Luo Sifan was too embarrassed to look at it for long, and instead pondered how to collect some of the Marrow Spirit Liquid to store.
No matter how you look at it, this thing seems to be Lin Qianxiu's private property. Lin Qianxiu stroked his body with her hands, her eyes fixed on his every move. It would be inappropriate to take action without permission.
"Sister! Don't you know how precious this thing is? You're using it for bathing?"
Luo Sifan's mindset had calmed down considerably after being tormented by Lin Qianxiu, and she remembered to call her "sister" again.
"Really? How come I didn't know? Every year during the Autumn Hunting Festival, I make a point of coming here to soak. This pool water is excellent for nourishing the skin and improving complexion!"
Lin Qianxiu raised one of her jade-like legs with a snap, showing it off in front of Luo Sifan, as the marrow essence dripped down her toes like beads.
Luo Sifan covered his eyes with his hand, not daring to look closely.
"Get down! Wash with your sister! If your sister is satisfied, you can take as much of what you want here."
Lin Qianxiu pulled her legs back and turned around, floating in the pool. Her voice was charming and seductive, arousing Luo Sifan's heart.
Without much struggle, Luo Sifan silently turned to the side, removed his sword and clothes.
Lin Qianxiu watched the whole thing without blinking, and couldn't help but click her tongue repeatedly.
Luo Sifan's back view, apart from her skeletal frame, showed no trace of womanhood.
While marveling at the wonders of creation, Lin Qianxiu felt a surge of inner fire, her eyes shining brightly.
Luo Sifan got in easily, but getting out is difficult.
Covering his vitals, Luo Sifan slowly immersed himself in this rare and precious spiritual object, feeling it with his heart.
Feeling both apprehensive and excited, Luo Sifan was now being forced to use the marrow spirit liquid, which he could never have obtained in his previous life, for a bath.
This marrow essence, with its chilling sensation upon first touch and its warm sensation upon second touch, is truly unique.
As he sank into the pool, the alternating sensations of warmth and cold reached a delicate balance. First, it entered his skin, then his sword, and even his soul seemed to be immersed in the energy of both warmth and cold, feeling incredibly comfortable.
Lin Qianxiu, having been through it all, silently watched as Luo Sifan comprehended the power of the Marrow Spirit Liquid in the pool, and slowly moved closer to him.
This marrow spirit liquid is formed from the molten pool of the earth, which boils down the ice stones of the cold lake. It seeps into this place along the stone veins, and after cooling, it forms stone marrow, from which the marrow spirit liquid is extracted.
The power of extreme yang and extreme yin is combined into one in the marrow essence liquid, and its spirituality is self-sufficient. Among all things derived from yin and yang, it can be regarded as a treasure.
She was curious whether Luo Sifan would become more masculine after being nourished by this substance, or simply turn back into a girl completely.
Regardless of the outcome, she was determined to get back at Luo Sifan today and vent all the resentment she had suffered at his hands these past few days!
