The bathroom at home was different from her previous life.
Cultivators, their bodies unsullied by dust, did not need to bathe; bathing was generally a form of leisure and relaxation, or sometimes aided by Ling Spring, Spiritual Water, and the like.
Female cultivators tended to enjoy bathing even more than their male counterparts.
Mu Yanxi’s cave residence in her previous life also had a bathhouse—extremely spacious, with a Jade Pool built from white jade, large enough for a dozen people to swim inside.
But until Mu Yanchu fell in battle, she was the only one who had ever used it, and even then, she rarely bathed—perhaps only two or three times a year.
In contrast, the bathroom at home was quite peculiar.
There was a metal water outlet, which Immortal Brain labeled as a faucet; a pipe attached to a shower head, hung high, which Immortal Brain marked as a shower, capable of spraying water in a cascade; and a mirror inlaid in a gold frame.
There was no pool in the bathroom at home—only a white porcelain bathtub, which seemed suitable for sitting or reclining, but not stretching out one’s limbs.
The entire bathroom was small, not even as big as any room in her former cave residence.
However, the bathroom was small but exquisite.
The floor and walls were paved with tiles, the lighting was bright yet gentle, and on the shelf were towels and bottles and jars—far more cozy and welcoming than the cold, dim cave residence from her past life.
Mu Yanxi took off her dress and tossed it into the laundry basket, then turned on the shower.
As expected, Spiritual Water sprayed out, falling evenly upon her body.
The water was even warm—who knew where it was being heated?
This pleasant sensation made Mu Yanxi let out a soft hum of delight.
If those female cultivators from her previous life knew of such a convenient and comfortable showering method, wouldn’t they want to bathe three times a day?
Now, Mu Yanxi could finally circulate the Serpent Core Immortal Fish Method—the sensation was just right.
Her mana flowed with the water, and the Spiritual Water raining down infused its spiritual energy, which began to be absorbed through her skin.
But Mu Yanxi soon realized that this was wasteful; only a small portion of the Spiritual Water was being absorbed, while the rest fell to the floor and flowed away down the drain.
She looked toward the bathtub, sensing that she ought to be soaking in the water.
When she’d gained insight into realms before, the fairies had all soaked in the Jade Pool, too.
So she turned off the shower and opened the faucet on the bathtub.
The Serpent Core Immortal Fish Method continued circulating, and the remaining Spiritual Water on her skin was quickly absorbed, leaving her body feeling clean and dry.
This Serpent Core Immortal Fish Method truly was a top-level cultivation method.
After a while, the bathtub was full of Spiritual Water.
Wisps of spiritual mist floated on the surface, already resembling the Ling Spring from her previous life.
The terminal ring suggested: “Master, would you like to add some bath additives? They have the effect of calming the mind and stabilizing your mental state, which can assist in meditation, breathing exercises, and Heart Method cultivation.”
There’s something like this? Mu Yanxi was surprised, glancing at the bottles and jars on the shelf labeled by Immortal Brain—those were bath additives and shower gel.
As for Heart Method that improved mental state and divine sense, Mu Yanxi had no experience; in her past life, there wasn’t a separate category for Heart Method—only some high-level techniques happened to boost spiritual awareness and mental stability.
But if there were materials capable of stabilizing the mind and calming the spirit, they would have been extremely precious—necessary aids whether breaking through bottlenecks or transcending tribulations.
She never imagined even an ordinary household would have such treasured substances, and as daily necessities no less.
Mu Yanxi selected a rose-scented bottle and poured it into the bathtub.
Just the fragrance alone brought serenity and calm, easing away her restlessness, making it feel as if anything she did would be smooth and orderly.
Then, she sat fully into the bathtub and began cultivating the Serpent Core Immortal Fish Method.
The terminal ring reminded her, “Master, you can now begin the Realm Experience.”
