Chapter 610: Strange Feathers

Poxiao followed Xiao Changheng back to Yun Qingqing. A flash of light appeared and it turned into a green jade hairpin, which automatically returned to her bun.

Xiao Changheng picked up Yun Qingqing and followed Ji Yu, quickly rushing in one direction. After crossing a hill and walking forward for a while, Xiao Changheng suddenly felt refreshed.

Ever since entering the barrier, Xiao Changheng noticed that the air in this secret realm was fresher than he had ever experienced before. Although his perception of spiritual power was weak, there was a spirit gathering array set up by Yun Qingqing in the palace. After a long time, he came to understand that this inexplicable feeling of freshness was actually due to the rich spiritual energy.

Even Xiao Changheng could sense that the spiritual energy within the barrier was denser than that of the spirit gathering array in the palace, and now the refreshing feeling that was everywhere in the air was even stronger, indicating that the spiritual energy here was denser than other places in the secret realm.

But what made him unusually clear-headed was not only that, the air here was also much cooler than other places.

Ji Yu led him through a valley with complex terrain, and a pool of tranquil water like a mirror appeared in front of them, with wisps of mist floating faintly on the surface of the water.

Xiao Changheng felt waves of chill coming from the pool of water, and realized that the pool of water was the source of the rich spiritual energy.

Ji Yu came to the edge of the pond and turned to look at him:

"This is the Thousand Spirits Cold Pond, the place with the most concentrated spiritual energy in the entire Exotic Beast Valley. Only spirit beasts above elder level are allowed to approach. Practicing by the water in this pond will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Next to the lake?" Xiao Changheng walked a few steps toward the lake while holding Yun Qingqing in his arms. He asked in confusion, "The spiritual energy in this lake is the most concentrated, right? Why do we practice by the lake?"

Ji Yu pointed to the mist that was almost invisible above the lake. The mist did not float up, but flowed slowly along the water surface, as if it had weight.

"The water in this pond is too cold, and there are very few spirit beasts that can withstand it."

Ji Yu paused for a moment, then suddenly looked at Xiao Changheng and said warily:

"You don't want to let the beast master enter this pool of water? Don't mess around."

Ji Yu was worried that the Beast Master was in a coma at the moment and had no way to mobilize his spiritual energy, let alone resist the coldness of the pool water.

Xiao Changheng had really thought about this plan, but he was not sure whether the cold pond water would harm Yun Qingqing in this state, so he had to give up. He held Yun Qingqing in his arms and sat down on a huge rock nearby.

However, at this moment, a ripple suddenly appeared in the center of the cold pond, which had been as calm as a mirror.

At first Xiao Changheng thought it was a breeze, but he saw Ji Yu's face changed obviously. He immediately turned his head and stared at the center of the pool, watching the ripples growing bigger and bigger.

A whirlpool appeared in the center of the lake. It was getting bigger and more obvious. Xiao Changheng couldn't help but stand up again. He frowned and looked at the unusual scene in the center of the lake. He began to think about whether he should step back to avoid being affected by the strange phenomenon.

But before he could make a decision, a ray of light suddenly shot out from the vortex, condensed into a ball of light, circled in the air, and fell straight towards Yun Qingqing.

The ball of light had a gentle aura and moved at neither fast nor slow. Xiao Changheng instinctively felt that it was not a dangerous thing, so he did not take Yun Qingqing with him to hide away.

The ball of light slowed down as it came closer and slowly fell into Yun Qingqing's arms. The light dissipated, revealing its true appearance.

A long golden feather, with clear texture and a faint warm light in the sunlight.

When Ji Yu saw the golden light bursting out of the cold pond, his eyes widened in shock, and now he couldn't believe it.

“This… this is…”

Xiao Changheng's eyes moved slightly, and he was about to ask her if she knew the origin of this thing when the girl in his arms suddenly moved.

He immediately lowered his head and his eyes fell on Yun Qingqing's face. He saw her eyelashes tremble slightly and she opened her eyes.

"Master Beast Master, you're awake!" Ji Yu said in surprise.

Yun Qingqing rubbed his brows and sat up. He subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the source of the unusual aura. He reached out and took the light golden phoenix feather in his hand and was stunned for a moment.

"This is..." Her eyes suddenly lit up, "Phoenix Feather!"
