"Little Leaf, thank you. Meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me."
"Me too. No matter what happens, I will stand by your side. We will go back to the Ice Spirit Continent to settle scores sooner or later."
"That's right, but not now. We're still too weak right now."
So, just how much pressure has Brother Xiu Qi been under all these years? No wonder he always cultivates so desperately; it turns out it's all for this reason. Ye Xiruo felt a pang of heartache again.
“It’s all in the past, all the misfortunes are in the past. The person who saved me was my master. In recent years, my master has been hiding in the Taiyan Continent, not daring to make any big moves, let alone go back, all because of me.”
"Master Han was actually a hidden master. Why did I only find out now?"
"It's not too late to know now."
"We should treat Master Han even better in the future."
"Master has been wandering outside for so long, it would be good for him to cultivate himself in Luoxia Valley."
"Let's go find the portal! It should be the portal of light I sensed earlier." Ye Xiruo didn't care about whether she could come back once she stepped into the portal. Staying here was just waiting to die. If they went out, even if it was to a strange place, at least they would have a way to survive.
"good."
Strangely, Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu encountered no obstacles during their mission and smoothly passed through the maze before them, seeing the gate of light not far away, and the cold pool not far from the gate.
The treasures in the Lost Land that the system mentioned should be the things in the Cold Pool!
"Brother Xiu Qi, everything in the Cold Pool will be of great use to you, so please take it all!"
"Okay." Xiu Qiyu flew directly to the edge of the cold pool, observed the entire pool, and after confirming that there was no danger, she leaped in.
Ye Xiruo was on the side, and Qinglian Tian kept circling around her, resisting the mist floating on the cold pool. Taking a breath of this mist made her feel like her internal organs were going to freeze. Only an ice-attribute cultivator like Brother Xiu Qi could jump in.
After Xiu Qiyu went down, he didn't come up for a long time. His handsome face had a smile on it: "Little Yezi, we were very lucky. There were snow mountain cold fish inside. I froze a few and brought them up. We also harvested three grade nine spiritual herbs and one grade ten spiritual herb. We also discovered the essence of the cold pool at the bottom of the cold pool."
Ye Xiruo's eyes lit up immediately. The essence of the Cold Pool—this thing definitely wouldn't form in less than a hundred thousand years.
How big is it?
"About the size of a fist!"
We've struck it rich! The essence of the Frost Pool is absolutely comparable to a top-tier elixir for people with ice attributes. With the essence of the Frost Pool, you can create a Frost Pool. Cultivating in the Frost Pool will definitely make your efforts twice as effective.
“Brother Xiu Qi, let’s take over this Cold Pool! I’ll dig a pool in my space, transplant the Cold Pool water and its essence into it, and that will be the new Cold Pool.”
"Alright." Without further ado, Xiu Qiyu dived to the bottom of the icy pool to divide its essence. They took ninety percent, leaving one ten percent as a seed. Tens of thousands of years later, a new icy pool would form. This was a rule generally followed by everyone in the cultivation world.
Ye Xiruo quickly dug a large pool using her mental power, then ran out of the spatial dimension, signaling Xiu Qiyu to take the essence of the Cold Pool into the space first, while she would collect the water. Actually, the water was secondary; the main thing was the Snow Mountain Cold Fish in the water. You could never have too many of those; Ye Xiruo's dream was to one day be able to eat Snow Mountain Cold Fish. Upon hearing that there was both Cold Pool water and Snow Mountain Cold Fish, the system also readily helped Xiu Qiyu gather the Snow Mountain Cold Fish. In the end, they collected 90% of the Snow Mountain Cold Fish, leaving 10% for them to reproduce.
Ye Xiruo was in a great mood. With so much snow mountain Chinese and the time difference in space, she would soon be able to cook dishes with snow mountain cold fish as she pleased, such as deep-fried small snow fish, steamed fish balls, and pickled fish. No, her mouth was watering.
After Xiu Qiyu absorbed ninety percent of the essence of the Cold Pool, the white mist on the surface of the Cold Pool thinned considerably. Taking a breath no longer gave him the feeling that his internal organs were about to freeze. The amount of ice-attribute spiritual energy contained in the entire Cold Pool also decreased significantly. This meant that others would only regard the Cold Pool as an ordinary Cold Pool and would not venture down to explore it, thus allowing the Cold Pool enough time to recuperate.
"Brother Xiu Qi, we're actually pretty lucky."
"Yes, let's go find the teleportation gate next!"
The two continued walking forward, but the portal of light that Ye Xiruo remembered never appeared. Ye Xiruo even wondered if she was hallucinating and that the portal of light she had seen before did not actually exist.
"Let's release our divine senses again to perceive it."
Ye Xiruo sensed the same golden, gleaming gate, radiating a mysterious light. Xiu Qiyu, however, sensed nothing this time.
"It seems that this teleportation gate is related to Xiao Yezi. Don't be discouraged, we will definitely find it."
Ye Xiruo nodded. Since she had already sensed it, then it must exist.
"Brother Xiu Qi, please protect me while I release my Nascent Soul to investigate." Divine sense has limited perception, but the Nascent Soul can travel tens of thousands of miles in an instant to explore what wonders this space holds and to discover clues about the teleportation gate.
Xiu Qiyu nodded, and the Shadowless Sword was instantly gripped in his hand, ready to support Xiao Yezi at any moment.
Ye Xiruo's small and exquisite golden nascent soul quickly flew out. Without the constraints of her body, the nascent soul was able to more clearly sense the spiritual energy fluctuations in this space, as well as the sense of being summoned from the darkness.
Xiu Qiyu held Ye Xiruo's body, stepping on her sword and following closely behind. If Ye Xiruo's nascent soul made any unusual movements, she could immediately return Xiao Yezi's nascent soul to its proper place.
Ye Xiruo was able to sense Xiu Qiyu's aura behind him, so the tension on the little nascent soul's face slowly dissipated, and it began to fly towards the place it sensed.
Closer and closer, Ye Xiruo flew in one direction, but to Xiu Qiyu, there was still nothing ahead. But perhaps this was the special characteristic of the Lost Land? Half an hour later, Xiu Qiyu felt as if his body had passed through a layer of illusion. When he opened his eyes again, he saw the enormous gate of light. The gate was very close to him, and he could clearly see the mysterious and ancient patterns on it. Those patterns changed every moment as time passed, and a peculiar power was constantly being released from the gate—perhaps this was the legendary power of space.
