Chapter 2036: Chapter 680: The Bathhouse, Green Snake’s Intrusion (Part 2)

Franciska said in a calm tone, "A potion called ’Eternal Night Frost Potion’ can greatly enhance the user’s dark and ice power, making their attack power even stronger."

"Another one, called ’Deep Sea Breath Potion,’ can greatly enhance the user’s ice and dark attribute resistance, granting them the ability to survive in the deep sea."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing’s eyes once again showed a look of shock.

Just by listening to Franciska’s description, these two legendary potions’ powerful effects were evident.

The former greatly enhances the capacity for magic damage, which is extremely beneficial for a mage like Cao Xing!

The latter not only increases resistance to dual attributes but also grants the ability to survive in the deep sea.

If combined with his Eternal Power, he might even achieve a qualitative change!

Cao Xing asked, "Can you refine these two potions?"

Franciska pondered for a moment, then nodded gently.

"Yes, but I need you to find the corresponding materials."

Cao Xing continued to ask, "What specific materials?"

Franciska said, "To make the Eternal Night Frost Potion, besides the Deep Sea Flower, I need the blood of a creature with extreme cold attributes, no less than legendary level."

"And a Dark Core."

After a pause, she continued, "To make the other Deep Sea Breath Potion, a small amount of Moon Essence is needed."

"Then, I also need a crucial material ’Deep Sea Tear,’ an item that only appears on deep-sea monsters, to increase the potion’s stability."

"Basically, that’s all."

The witch finished speaking and slowly closed the book in her hands.

Cao Xing furrowed his brows slightly.

The four materials Franciska mentioned are not easy to find.

Dark Cores, Moon Essence, Deep Sea Tears—he had never even heard of them.

The simplest material is actually the blood of a legendary creature...

But it also requires a legendary creature with extreme cold attributes.

At this moment, Cao Xing couldn’t help but think of a monster’s name.

"The Extreme Cold Demon Worm on Vortex Mountain should also count as an extreme cold creature, right?"

"Defeating it leaves only the last Dark Core needed to make the Eternal Night Frost Potion."

"And I can complete the first ring quest at the same time."

"Looks like... it’s time to push forward the plans to go to Vortex Mountain, just waiting for Binglan to find the specific location, and I will immediately bring people over."

Cao Xing silently made up his mind.

Then he turned his head and said to the beautiful witch, "I know, I will leave these Undersea Flowers here for now."

"Once I find the other auxiliary materials, I’ll let you refine them."

The witch nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Nor did Cao Xing speak.

The atmosphere in the Alchemy Workshop fell into silence.

"Gurgle... gurgle..."

The potion simmering in the Witch Cauldron continued to bubble incessantly.

A moment later, Franciska, as if unable to bear it, broke the silence first.

"Do you have anything else?"

Cao Xing shook his head, "Not really, I just wanted to ask, do you feel comfortable being alone in the Alchemy Workshop?"

"Do you need someone to help you?"

Hearing this, the witch’s enchanting lips curled into a smile.

"Don’t worry about me, those hundreds of years in the castle have long accustomed me to living alone."

"Moreover, I have other leisure activities on the territory during normal times."

"Other leisure activities?" Cao Xing asked in doubt, a tad curious.

The witch nodded, "Of course, after I finish working at night, I go to the library to read."

"Sometimes I also learn to play instruments with Gweneth."

Her voice carried a hint of joy, as if these simple activities brought her immense satisfaction.

Cao Xing chuckled, "Alright, as long as you’re happy."

"Then I won’t disturb you anymore."

Saying that, he turned and headed towards the door.

...

After leaving the Alchemy Workshop, Cao Xing was just about to return to the Lord Castle for rest.

It was then... he remembered the promise he made to Yilena during the day.

His feet began moving involuntarily towards the direction of the hot spring pavilion.

Soon, he arrived at the Second Ring Area of the territory.

A single-story building covering hundreds of square meters emerged before him, with steam constantly rising upwards.

This was indeed the territory’s hot spring pavilion.

Though this building had been built for a long time, hardly any subjects had used it.

Because each room is equipped with a water storage device by Cao Xing, providing hot water supply all day long.

In this cold weather, they prefer to take a hot shower in their rooms and then sleep comfortably.

Cao Xing walked straight into the interior of the hot spring pavilion.

Ahead appeared two wooden doors.

One led to the men’s bath, the other to the women’s bath.

The distance between the two baths was great, so there wouldn’t be any situation where talk from the men’s bath could be heard in the women’s bath.

Cao Xing paused at the door for a moment, then directly pushed open the wooden door to the women’s bath.

"Squeak—"

Before him emerged a misty water vapor and a long corridor.

Cao Xing progressed through the corridor.

Faintly, he could hear the sound of flowing water from ahead.

"Splash... splash..."

When he passed through the corridor, the breadth of the scene in front of him expanded significantly.

Cao Xing had reached the bath area.

And at the edge of the bath, he seemed to see a white silhouette.

A tail covered in white scales breaking the surface of the water incessantly, bringing up strings of sparkling water droplets.
