Min Ju imdiately produced supplies.
Thirty barrels of water appeared.
Pills followed.
Vitality pills.
Recovery pills.
Nutrient pills.
Energy pills.
Lin Mu looked at the mountain.
Then at them.
Then back again.
"You prepared this already?"
Lady Kang smiled innocently.
"We adapt quickly."
Lin Mu sighed.
Thus began a very strange day.
Lin Mu sat cross legged while Lady Kang and Min Ju watched.
Water barrels stood nearby.
Every few hours they handed him food and pills.
Lin Mu generated Supple Skin Mystic Water continuously.
Barrel after barrel filled.
Min Ju carefully labeled every one.
Production batch.
Purity.
Estimated dilution ratio.
Potential market tier.
Lady Kang occasionally updated plans.
"At current dilution rates…" she muttered while calculating. "One barrel becos one hundred."
She looked at the growing collection.
"Thirty becos three thousand."
Min Ju continued.
"Further formulations increase volu again."
Lady Kang nodded.
"Three thousand barrels becos tens of thousands of products."
Her eyes glowed.
"Initial launch."
"Luxury market first."
"Limited release."
"Artificial scarcity."
"Build prestige."
"Raise demand."
"Then expand."
Lin Mu listened.
Lady Kang's business plans were terrifying.
An entire day passed.
Finally Lin Mu stopped.
Thirty barrels stood in the room.
Lady Kang looked at them as if seeing mountains of immortal stones.
Min Ju carefully stored every single one.
Lady Kang finally turned back toward Lin Mu.
Her expression beca very serious.
"Lin Mu."
"Yes?"
"I am going to make you very rich."
Lin Mu blinked.
"How rich?"
Lady Kang thought for a mont.
Then smiled.
"The kind of rich where buying worlds becos a discussion rather than a dream."
Lin Mu was stunned.
Min Ju nodded solemnly.
"The wealthy won of the Immortal Realm will fund your cultivation."
Lin Mu did not know whether to laugh or feel strange.
Inside the ring, Xukong watched everything silently.
Finally the giant spider spoke.
"You know…"
Lin Mu responded ntally.
"What?"
"You might beco famous because of skincare before becoming famous for cultivation."
Lin Mu froze.
"…That would be embarrassing."
Xukong laughed loudly.
"Oh it absolutely would."
Lady Kang finally released Lin Mu after the thirty barrels had been completed and properly stored away.
Even she seed satisfied now that the initial stock and research materials had been secured. Min Ju looked as if she had already entered work mode entirely and had a stack of jade slips floating around her, constantly sending ssages to the fleet.
Lin Mu quietly left before he was handed another barrel.
Even for him, the production had not been easy.
The Supple Skin Mystic Water looked simple from the outside, but the process itself demanded careful control. He had to guide the Water Core, control the vitality flowing through his body and then separate that particular nourishing essence from himself without disturbing the balance of the other bodily functions.
Thirty barrels later, even Lin Mu felt tired.
Though the process had brought sothing unexpected too.
He had noticed it while making the later batches.
Whenever the Supple Skin Mystic Water was extracted, his skin would shift slightly.
At first he thought it was rely exhaustion.
But after paying attention, he realized that was not the case.
The change was controlled.
His skin could beco brighter and smoother, carrying a healthy glow that made him appear refreshed. Yet with another thought, it could beco dry and rough. Fine wrinkles appeared and his complexion dulled.
The effect was subtle at first.
Then he intentionally amplified it.
His face instantly gained several years.
Lin Mu stared at himself in surprise.
Before he could think further, the door burst open.
Min Ju rushed inside holding several bottles.
"Lady Kang said you seed tired and I…" She suddenly froze.
Lin Mu sat there looking like an old man who had aged decades.
Min Ju paled.
"You are sick!?"
Before Lin Mu could explain, pills had already entered his mouth.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Lin Mu swallowed reflexively.
Then blinked.
"…Min Ju?"
She looked horrified.
"Why are you still speaking calmly!?"
Lin Mu waved his hand and restored his appearance.
The wrinkles vanished.
The skin returned to normal.
Min Ju stood there silently.
"…You scared ."
Lin Mu coughed awkwardly.
"Sorry."
She glared at him before leaving while muttering that wealthy people did not deserve such stress.
Only after that did Lin Mu finally settle down properly.
The incident stayed in his mind.
This had never happened before.
The Supple Skin Mystic Water existed long before the cores were completed.
Yet this phenonon had only appeared now.
That ant the completed cores were influencing his body further.
Lin Mu secluded himself for the next few days and began studying the changes carefully.
He already understood so.
The Earth Core strengthened blood quality and bones.
The tal Core improved the lungs, breathing and absorption.
The Fire Core enhanced the heart and circulation.
But now he wanted a deeper understanding.
He sat cross legged and sensed his body.
The result surprised him.
Every cell responded.
The reactions were minute yet real.
When he guided the cores, the cells shifted ever so slightly.
They adapted, changed and moved.
It felt as though his entire body had beco alive in a different sense.
"A body that can consciously adapt…" Lin Mu muttered.
Several days passed.
Eventually he attempted direct control.
The first target was his hair.
He focused.
Vitality flowed.
His hair imdiately began growing.
Black strands extended down his back.
Longer.
Longer.
Even longer.
Until it nearly touched the floor.
Lin Mu opened his eyes.
"…Interesting."
Reducing it proved almost impossible, so in the end he simply cut it.
Next ca nails.
The result was identical.
His fingernails lengthened instantly.
Several body cultivators possessed similar techniques so this was not particularly surprising.
Lin Mu moved further.
His gaze landed on his reflection.
Then his attention shifted inward.
Beneath the skin.
Subcutaneous Fat.
He understood the process.
Nutrition beca stored energy.
The Fire Core strengthened circulation.
The Earth Core supported bodily formation.
The Liver linked with the Wood elent and nutrient storage.
He guided them.
Blood carried nutrients.
The liver transford them.
Storage increased.
Then the nutrients spread.
