Chapter 187: Open-air Hot Spring

So it was an open-air hot spring. Mu Yanxi didn’t find it particularly strange.

There were often tales of male cultivators accidentally stumbling upon female cultivators bathing, eventually becoming dao companions.

In her previous life, many female cultivators enjoyed bathing in outdoor hot springs or spiritual springs, and such romantic stories were widely circulated.

Of course, legends usually only tell the beautiful side. As Mu Yanxi knew, in reality, most of the time the female cultivator would fly into a rage and attack directly.

Most of the time, the unlucky male cultivator would be killed on the spot, or the female cultivator would be killed in retaliation. Unless the male cultivator was of a higher cultivation realm, the female cultivator wouldn’t dare to make a move and could only accept the loss.

Getting closer, Mu Yanxi felt a dense surge of spiritual energy rushing toward her. She had no spiritual root and was unable to sense the spiritual power in the air.

The only reason she could feel it now was that a large amount of water vapor and mist from spiritual water filled the air, being absorbed by the virgin fairy bathing method.

Even the area around the hot spring had such thick spiritual power. The one at the mountain peak was definitely the highest-grade supreme spiritual spring.

Although it decreased in quality as it flowed to the mountain foot, it was still at least mid-grade. No wonder most female disciples came to the bath pools to bathe instead of in their dormitories.

However, Mu Yanxi was somewhat puzzled, because she seemed to see men in the hot spring, and there were men and women together in the same pool.

Using her star-imprint eye to look carefully, it was indeed so.

A middle-aged big man was lying in the bath pool, with a beautiful young girl on each side lying in his arms, and behind him another beautiful young girl was kneeling and wiping his body. There were also several other men around, most of them attended by young girls.

Mu Yanxi lowered her gliding board and landed at the entrance at the mountain foot. Then she understood. A wooden sign hung there, reading “Mixed Bath.”

Just then, a few girls accompanied a young man dressed as a scholar into the bath entrance. One female student said gently, “Teacher, let me remove your clothes.”

Understood. Most of these men were guest teachers of the Spiritual Moon Sect, and they could gain the favor of many female students.

Although Mu Yanxi disdained the behavior of currying favor with teachers, she still thought that being a teacher at the Spiritual Moon Sect was way too enjoyable.

However, if it were only male teachers, the men on the mountainside seemed too many. Even now, female disciples were continuously accompanying men inside, wearing all kinds of attire, some clearly uniforms of other sects.

Mu Yanxi boldly guessed that these people were not all teachers, and most of them were not. They were clients and partners of the Spiritual Moon Sect.

When they came to the Spiritual Moon Sect, they could also enjoy the treatment of being served by female disciples while bathing.

Of course, Mu Yanxi definitely wouldn’t enter the mixed bath pool. She might be noticed by some male VIP, and resisting would cause unexpected trouble.

She remembered that when flying over, she saw that the area near the mountain peak was indeed all girls. There must be a women’s bath. Although she still didn’t want to admit that she had indeed become a girl, she might as well enter the women’s bath.

Mu Yanxi flew left around the mountain for a distance, and indeed saw another entrance, but this one said “Men’s Bath.” There were very few people coming and going, and all were men.

So the Spiritual Moon Sect had a purely men’s bath pool.

This was probably prepared for those male cultivators who wanted to focus on meditation and cultivation without being disturbed by female disciples. In fact, it was the quietest place in this mountain forest.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t enter the men’s bath either. So Mu Yanxi continued to go around the mountain.

***

After walking half the mountain, she finally saw the women’s bath entrance. It was exactly in the opposite direction from where she came, and above it came the sound of young girls laughing and playing.

This is it.

Mu Yanxi roughly estimated that one-fifth of the entire mountain was mixed bath, another fifth was men’s bath, and the remaining three-fifths were women’s bath. Of course, this was already a great favor to male cultivators.

One must know that the Spiritual Moon Sect had thousands of female cultivators, while male teachers and male VIPs combined probably couldn’t even reach a hundred.

Taking a deep breath, she walked into the bath entrance. The spiritual energy here was already so thick it was almost visible to the naked eye.

Coupled with the spiritual energy additives scattered throughout the Spiritual Moon Sect, Mu Yanxi could already circulate the virgin fairy bathing method to cultivate.

Pushing aside the cloth curtain and entering, first there was a changing room with rows of lockers.

Most girls, after taking off all their clothes, would also remove their Terminal Rings, Spirit Moon Rings, and so on, put them in the lockers, then close the locker door and take a jade token from the door.

There were also girls coming out from the bath pools after bathing. They just needed to press the jade token back onto the locker door to open their compartment and take out their clothes and Terminal Rings.

It wasn’t that the Terminal Ring wasn’t waterproof, but they really didn’t want to bring too many things while bathing. Mu Yanxi was the same. When bathing, she would take off all her clothes and everything on her body, entering the bath in a completely natural state.

As for the jade token, it was a ninth-grade small artifact. It could extend a strand of spiritual power thread to wrap around the wrist or neck, with no sensation, almost like carrying nothing at all. Very considerate.

Mu Yanxi closed the locker, tied her jade token on, took only a bath towel, and followed the other naked girls into the bath area.

In the changing room, Mu Yanxi was already surrounded by many stunningly beautiful women. Especially since most of them were not wearing clothes.

Their expressions as they laughed and talked with their companions, every move they made while walking or changing, exuded endless allure.

Especially some exotic girls. Some had wings and feathers, some had gemstones embedded in their foreheads, some had tree bark and green leaves on their bodies, and there were also the beast-tail and beast-ear demon race with more obvious features.

They appeared even more charming in the bath, because there were so many girls here that at a glance it was a vast expanse of white, and no matter how beautiful as heavenly immortals, it couldn’t stand out.

Instead, it was these exotic girls with special body parts that could catch the eye at once, better showcasing their unique temperament and charm.

At that time, although she saw this picturesque scene, Mu Yanxi couldn’t help but exclaim that the women from the Spiritual Moon Sect were indeed all enchantresses.

But strangely, now looking at these naked beauties, Mu Yanxi no longer felt the blushing face and racing heart she had on the first day of school in the changing room. Instead, it felt like appreciating a landscape painting.

Back then, she could also stay clear-headed, but that was because of her immortal brain’s reminder, and she had also been a Star Nascent Soul Stage cultivator with a firm heart of Dao. Overall, it was like being able to resist female cultivators’ charm arts.

But now it was different. She felt that even if these beauties were unconsciously using charm arts, they couldn’t affect her in the slightest. This wasn’t a strengthening of resistance, but direct immunity. She was no longer affected.

Simply put, these charm arts could no longer arouse sexual desire in Mu Yanxi.

Although she still thought these girls were indeed beautiful, indeed stunning, it was like looking at a landscape. The scenery was also beautiful, but it wouldn’t cause a sexual reaction.

Mu Yanxi suddenly remembered what her senior sister had said: as long as you reach the entry level of the Lingyue Art, this kind of low-level charm arts won’t affect you anymore.
