[Subscribe Please]_4 Blue Hat shook off Lin Baici’s hand, but he had already taken the items.

“Cough cough!”

Blue Hat coughed twice, eyeing Lin Baici’s backpack.

“It’s gone, I’ve given it all to you!”

Lin Baici muttered under his breath.

Just now, he saw that the Chief Eunuch was greedy.

Recalling what the Eater God had said about Blue Hat’s taste in ingredients, on the way to the bathhouse, he took some valuable goods from the Black Tripod Bowl and put them in his backpack.

As the saying goes, it’s easier to deal with the King of Hell than with his pesky underlings.

Lin Baici brought these things just in case, not expecting they would actually come in handy.

The Knife coins, golden beans, and Turtle Shells he had collected earlier near the altar and the sword cottage were among these items, with Knife coins being the cheapest.

The Turtle Shells, used for Divination, were from a thousand-year-old giant turtle and were very smooth and polished, actually quite valuable.

“May Buddha’s compassion be with us, you can take the bowl, but not this bag!”

Seeing the money, Blue Hat decided to let some things slide.

Lin Baici sighed, feigning reluctance as he placed the backpack on the ground, “Alright then!”

“…”

Guo Zheng was dumbstruck.

This works?

But when he thought about it, it made sense.

Who doesn’t love money?

Even the Buddha requires Incense money.

The group left the changing room and entered the bathhouse; a wave of steam immediately greeted them.

“Brother Lin, I’m impressed!”

Guo Zheng gave a big thumbs up, full of admiration.

Lin Baici was a natural God Hunter, and regret washed over him.

If only he had trusted Lin Baici a little more and let him safeguard the Leg of Giant Locust, he wouldn’t be empty-handed now.

Inside the bathhouse was a large pool filled with hot water, scattered with flower petals.

This treatment was given because Lin Baici and the others were there to soak in medicinal liquor.

“Hiss, my stomach hurts, you guys go ahead and wash.

I’m going to use the toilet!”

Lin Baici turned and left.

Guo Zheng soaked in the water, thinking about the troubles they might encounter next and how to solve them.

Then, the more he thought, the more his head ached.

Damn it!

The rules here were so polluted and confusing; it was hard to know what to do next, so they just had to take it step by step.

Lin Baici returned to the changing room and saw that only Blue Hat was left, rummaging through his backpack, obviously looking for secret compartments that might still hold money.

Blue Hat, seeing Lin Baici suddenly appear, looked quite embarrassed.

“The insect-leg-like weapon my friend accidentally dropped earlier, go find it for me, and I’ll give you another golden bean!”

Lin Baici sat down on the chair with a cheery laugh, tossing several golden beans in his right hand.

Blue Hat was first delighted, then angry, “Didn’t you say you were out of money?”

“This is my friend’s.

He has a skill that allows him to hide things in his stomach!”

Lin Baici was obviously making up the excuse, but he spoke with such earnestness: “There are many wonders and oddities in this world that you’ve never seen.”

“You just wait here!”

Believing him, Blue Hat hurried off.

Lin Baici habitually glanced at his wrist.

The Rolex was gone.

Lin Baici pursed his lips, feeling a bit forlorn; after all, he’d grown attached to it after wearing it for a month.

“When I leave God’s Ruins, I’ll buy another one!”

Lin Baici now had the confidence and the means; he was about to receive a million yuan in prize money, and from this trip to God’s Ruins, he had already obtained two Taboo things and a Meteorite.

The Divine Turtle Shell was almost decent, but the Dragon Tooth King sword was top-notch.

If he were to sell it on the black market, it would probably cause a frenzy.

He wondered if he’d be able to get some Divine Grace too.

[The coast is clear, time to feast!]

The Eater God was referring to the Meteorite.

Lin Baici looked around, indeed no one was there, and he quickly brought the Black Tripod Bowl to his mouth.

“Porridge time!

Porridge time!”

A vortex suddenly appeared at the rim of the Black Tripod Bowl.

Lin Baici reached in and pulled out the Meteorite, along with a bottle of mineral water.

But before he could rinse off the meteorite, a pair of translucent slender arms, each emitting a pale blue glow reminiscent of starlight, extended from his shoulders.

Whoosh!

The starlight arms reached for the meteorite, attempting to stuff it into Lin Baici’s mouth.

“Stop!

I can do it myself!”

Lin Baici certainly didn’t want to be handled roughly.

He quickly unscrewed the bottle cap, poured mineral water over the meteorite, then picked up the stone and put it into his mouth.

[Thanks for the gift of nature!]

The Eater God recited the routine pre-meal prayer.

The temperature in his mouth rose immediately, feeling like he was holding a mouthful of fairly hot water.

The meteorite softened quickly upon contact with saliva, turning into a liquid state.

Gulp!

Gulp!

Lin Baici swallowed,

the warm flow sliding down his esophagus, spreading into his stomach, and then swiftly pulsing through his limbs and body.

Hiss!

White steam rose from Lin Baici’s body, his skin turned a faint red as if he had taken a warm bath.

This process lasted about a minute before his skin tone returned to normal.

Lin Baici rotated his neck and clenched his fists; he now felt incredibly comfortable and healthy enough to bludgeon a brown bear to death.

His senses became keener; Lin Baici could feel the moist, warm steam drifting over from the bathhouse pool.

He couldn’t hear the sounds from there before, but now he could pick up on some faint voices.

His skin also improved; it became smoother and more delicate.

Of course, the most significant enhancement was the increase in Divine Power within his body.

If Lin Baici wanted to throw the King sword dragon tooth to kill an enemy, he would need to consume Divine Power.

Having used it only once before, he felt somewhat weary; now he was brimming with energy.

He felt that the newly gained Divine Power would enable him to throw the Dragon Tooth twice in succession.

“Yummy!”

Smiling, Lin Baici thought that after obtaining another Divine Grace and having a big meal at God’s bones, life couldn’t be more perfect.

[My stomach is ravenous!]

Lin Baici’s ears twitched as he heard hasty footsteps outside.

Soon, the Blue Hat Eunuch returned.

It approached Lin Baici and, with a flick of its sleeves, revealed the Leg of Giant Locust – exactly Guo Zheng’s weapon.

“Hand it over!”

Blue Hat stared at Lin Baici.

A straightforward exchange—money in one hand, goods in the other.

The Blue Hat fondled a gold bean the size of a fingernail, grinning from ear to ear with delight.

“What’s this about soaking medicinal men in wine?”

Seizing the congenial atmosphere of the successful transaction, Lin Baici ventured to ask.

“You just need to wash up and then soak in the wine vat to become medicinal wine!”

The Blue Hat explained.

“I’ve only heard of child urine being used for medicinal purposes; that also involves children.

Can adults like us also be used for soaking?”

Lin Baici found the idea quite amusing.

“The King suffers from a chronic head ailment that hasn’t improved for years.

After praying to ghosts and gods, he received this secret recipe.

It should be effective!”

After the Blue Hat finished speaking, it resumed its stern expression: “Hurry up and bathe.

Delaying the wine soaking is a capital offense!”

Lin Baici shrugged his shoulders and headed towards the bathhouse.

Using his body and the steam as a cover, Lin Baici placed the Leg of Giant Locust into the Black Tripod Bowl.

“Why did you take so long?

Fall into the toilet?”

Guo Zheng complained loudly from inside the pool, “Hurry up and come over to discuss what we should do next!”

The others were also nervous and uneasy; the idea of being soaked as medicinal men in wine sounded terribly frightening!

They needed to find a way to survive.

The bathhouse held eighteen pools, big and small, some with hot water, some with cold water, and there were wooden benches, buckets, and many wooden clogs on the floor.

Since nobody was in the cold water, and Lin Baici had no desire to bathe with these people, he chose a cold water pool for himself.

“Why are you going so far away?”

Guo Zheng was incredulous, “Also, you’re the smart one.

Help me think of a way to get my weapon back.

Don’t worry, I won’t let you lose out on this.

If you can get back the Leg of Giant Locust, how about I give you a Meteorite Coin?”
