But at this moment, ice spiritual power was in charge. Too much and too dense ice spiritual power surrounded her, occupying half of the spiritual power in her body, and it even showed a tendency to continue to advance.
Ice spiritual power competes with other spiritual powers for control of meridian flow, for a larger share of the body's spiritual energy circulation, and for the position of the spiritual root...
This silent battle damaged Shi Xuan's meridians once again, and this time, even the lightning power that had been hidden in his dantian was unleashed.
For a time, several streams of spiritual energy within Shi Xuan's meridians fought and struggled for power. The poor meridians, which had only recently begun to recover, were damaged again, repeating the process of constant damage and repair.
After each breakage, the repaired meridians are thicker and stronger than before. If someone could see inside her meridians, they would be shocked. With this level of damage, an ordinary cultivator would probably be dead long ago and would have no chance of survival!
After a long time, the frenzied destruction and astonishing restoration finally reached a balance, forming a delicate equilibrium. Each took a step forward and the other a step back, coexisting within the flow of time. Then, through the process of the renewal of all things, they were restored to one.
Time passed slowly, and Shi Xuan's damaged internal organs were mostly repaired by the abundant spiritual energy. She opened her eyes from her coma.
As soon as he regained consciousness, Shi Xuan had no idea what time it was or where he was. He felt as if his whole body was bound, he could not hear or see, and his body was so swollen that it felt like it was about to explode. Every part of him, inside and out, was in pain!
“You’re finally awake,” Lu Shenzhi said in her consciousness. “I feel like your luck has turned.”
"Huh?" Shi Xuan finally came to her senses. "Where am I?"
“At the bottom of the Ice Lake,” Lu Shenzhi replied, “there is an Ice Source Pearl here.”
Shi Xuan immediately perked up. The Ice Source Pearl! That's a treasure! Back when they were trapped in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, that Wood Source Pearl sustained them for several years!
Upon hearing news of the Ice Source Pearl, Shi Xuan, who was on his deathbed, sat up in shock and immediately felt no pain. "Where is the Ice Source Pearl?"
"Judging from the distribution of ice elemental energy in this area, it should be right beneath you."
Shi Xuan moved aside, revealing her original position.
The deep water was pitch black, and Shi Xuan focused his divine sense on that spot.
Under the cover of his divine sense, Shi Xuan "saw" some cold, spirit-like stones scattered there, which should be ice spirit crystals formed by being immersed in the Ice Source Bead for a long time.
Not to mention the Ice Source Pearl, the Ice Spirit Crystals scattered all over the ground could fetch a good price.
Shi Xuan was very happy and collected all the ice spirit crystals on the ground into Silver Frost.
There was a thick layer of ice crystal, which Shi Xuan had been storing for a long time.
Halfway through the process, a bead emitting a shimmering blue light was unearthed, its faint glow standing out brilliantly in the darkness.
It's the Ice Source Pearl! A priceless treasure like the Ice Source Pearl has been carelessly discarded at the bottom of the lake! What a waste!
These treasures are all sentient beings. When it encountered Shi Xuan, it did not dodge, which surprised Shi Xuan greatly.
She tried to separate a wisp of spiritual energy to touch the beautiful ice source bead. It did not react with rejection at all, probably because part of the spiritual energy in Shi Xuan's body came from it, making it feel particularly familiar to it.
Shi Xuan gradually increased the output of spiritual power, bringing his divine sense into this gentle spiritual power, attempting to imprint his divine sense and subdue this Ice Source Pearl.
Originally, he planned to be even more patient with the Ice Source Pearl than he was with the Fire Spirit, but to his surprise, the Ice Source Pearl was very obedient and did not resist at all. It directly allowed Shi Xuan to imprint his divine sense on it and put it into his spiritual mansion.
The process went so smoothly it was unbelievable. Even after the Ice Source Pearl settled peacefully in the Spirit Mansion, Shi Xuan was still a little dazed.
"Senior Brother, did I receive a fake Ice Source Pearl?" Shi Xuan was a little doubtful.
Lu Shenzhi was also somewhat surprised, but upon closer reflection, it made sense.
“You have been unconscious at the bottom of this lake for three hours. You have been nourished by this Ice Source Pearl for a long time, and it probably already considers you one of its own.”
Shi Xuan nodded and said, "I guess I've been in this dark and gloomy lake for too long and want to find a friend to go out and have some fun."
It's not impossible.
For this new friend, Shi Xuan thoughtfully used his spiritual power to build a small nest for it in his spiritual palace using ice spiritual power, so that it could live more comfortably.
Wait, ice elemental power?
Shi Xuan looked inward and discovered something extraordinary: the ice elemental power was now flowing freely and comfortably within her body...
"This..." Could it be that she has gained another ice spirit root!
Shi Xuan had already sensed the icy aura at the spiritual root. He could also use ice spiritual power with ease, so it seemed that he was almost certain of it.
Shi Xuan found it somewhat amusing. With the five elements of spiritual roots plus ice, lightning, and wind, she had truly perfected her spiritual roots. She was probably the only cultivator in the cultivation world with a complete set of spiritual roots.
After subduing the Ice Source Pearl, there was another layer of Ice Spirit Crystals beneath it, which Shi Xuan also collected.
What seems like a misfortune may actually be a blessing in disguise. Although this battle brought unexpected twists and turns, the final results were better than anticipated!
We could have a dozen more opponents like that!
After the Ice Source Pearl entered Shi Xuan's body, the immense and surging spiritual power it brought began to manifest its power.
In an instant, Shi Xuan felt the spiritual power in his spiritual palace surge, and in that one move he touched the barrier of the eighth level of the Golden Core stage.
Shi Xuan quickly sat down on the spot and activated the "All Things Grow" technique, absorbing the scattered ice spiritual energy in the vicinity, not wasting a single bit.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yingxin had already gone into the lake seven times, but still found nothing.
"Don't worry," Sun Shaoxing reassured his team members, "Think about the captain's abilities, do you think she could get into trouble so easily?"
Indeed, but looking at Ji Lie, half-dead on the other side, I couldn't help but feel worried. For a Golden Core cultivator at the Great Perfection stage to be reduced to this state showed just how intense the explosion had been. This was far more serious than Shi Xuan's Exploding Pill!
At this moment, the members of the Crimson Flame Team had recovered from the situation of their captain's accident. Although the captain was injured and unconscious, his life was not in danger. After giving him a Great Rejuvenation Pill, they were just waiting for him to wake up.
At this moment, the commotion of the best team searching for their captain and going into the water to rescue him seemed very abrupt.
The members of the Crimson Flame Team were very dissatisfied with Shi Xuan's beating of Ji Lie, and when they saw Shi Xuan missing, they began to gloat.
"It was agreed that whoever lost this battle would fall to the ground. It seems you've lost. Get out of here now."
"Yes, they've all been beaten to a pulp, they're probably running away in terror!"
"If you go back to the base and look for him, you might be able to find your captain!"
