Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, Spent Lavishly to Crush the Poison Formation
It was made up of forty-five Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow and piles of Ice Extreme God Crystal.
An extreme chill permeated the demiplane, even forcing back the surrounding deathly aura.
Ice Empress stood before the iceberg, his breathing noticeably becoming rapid.
She had lived for 400,000 years and had seen countless rare and precious materials in the Far North, but this was the first time she had ever seen such a large pile of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.
"You little brat..." Ice Empress turned around, looked at Dai Huabin who had followed them in, and said in a complicated tone, "You actually managed to get your hands on this thing."
"I said, we are contractual partners, each getting what we need."
Dai Huabin walked to the iceberg, waved his hand, and separated fifteen strands of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, pushing them in front of the Ice Empress.
"These are yours. Is that enough for you to attempt the Heavenly Tribulation?"
Ice Empress was stunned.
Fifteen!
She originally thought that Dai Huabin would be generous if he gave her three or five sticks.
He actually gave away a third of it all at once?
An indescribable emotion welled up in Ice Empress's heart.
The bond of Blood Pact made her clearly feel that Dai Huabin didn't feel any heartache; he gave it to her sincerely.
This human is interesting.
Ice Empress gave a soft hum, concealing the turmoil in his heart, and reached out to take only ten strands of Ten- Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.
Ten will be enough.
She tilted her head back and said haughtily,
"This emperor needs more than enough ten thousand -Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation. Keep the rest for unforeseen circumstances."
Dai Huabin couldn't help but find her insincere behavior amusing.
"Okay, then I'll keep it for now."
Dai Huabin was not pretentious.
"You should stay here and cultivate in seclusion. It's very safe in the Undead Semi-Plane; no one can disturb you."
Ice Empress nodded, hugged the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, found a corner to sit down, and a green light began to flow around her.
"Where are you going?" Ice Empress asked casually before closing his eyes.
"Heaven Dou City, Sunset Forest." Dai Huabin gazed into the distance. "Let's go get the bargaining chips that can be exchanged for the Snow Empress."
Ice Empress remained silent, completely absorbed in the refining process.
Dai Huabin exited the Undead Semi-Plane and glanced at the sky.
The night was deep.
He took a deep breath, activated his Ice Soul White Tiger Martial Soul, and transformed into a streak of light, speeding towards Heaven Dou City overnight.
Dai Huabin traveled at an extremely fast pace.
After being possessed by the Ice Soul White Tiger Martial Soul, his endurance and explosive power were terrifyingly enhanced.
The properties of Ultimate Ice allow him to reduce air resistance even when moving at high speeds by condensing frost.
Three days later, Heaven Dou City.
Dai Huabin did not enter the city, but instead bypassed the city wall and plunged into the Sunset Forest, a hundred miles east of Heaven Dou City.
Most of the cut-off areas in this forest are now only inhabited by low-level Soul Beast that are ten or a hundred years old. But Dai Huabin knows that the Core Area of Sunset Forest contains one of the largest treasure troves on the Douluo Continent: the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Call!"
Dai Huabin stopped on the trunk of a towering tree and took a short breath.
"Based on my memory, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well should be in the valley at the very center of the forest."
He closed his eyes, and his spiritual power spread outwards like a tide.
With the blessing of the Life Gold, his Spiritual Detection range far exceeds that of other Soul Master of the same level.
Soon, he sensed an extremely strange fluctuation of energy about ten miles ahead.
It was a thick cloud of poisonous fog.
Dai Huabin immediately confirmed that this must be the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers, and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located inside the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers.
The poisonous domain of the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers was even more outrageous than he had imagined.
The area within a radius of several hundred meters was shrouded in poisonous fog, and even the grass on the ground withered, leaving only grayish-white dead soil.
Occasionally, a few flying insects would accidentally fly in, only to fall down after flapping their wings a couple of times, turning into a lump of mud upon landing.
"Even someone with level 38 Soul Power wouldn't last five seconds trying to break in."
Dai Huabin smacked his lips.
Although he had the Ultimate Ice protection of the Ice Soul White Tiger, he still dared not be careless.
He didn't act impulsively.
With his eyes closed, he extended his spiritual power along the Blood Pact to explore the Undead Semi-Plane.
The process of contacting Ice Empress went smoothly. After the Blood Pact was established, the mental connection between the two was like an invisible conduit; when they wanted to communicate, they only needed to push their consciousness in that direction.
"Bing'er."
A moment later, Ice Empress's voice rang in his mind, tinged with obvious impatience.
"What are you doing? I've just finished refining the first Ten -Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow and am about to start the second one."
"There's something I need your help with."
"What's up?"
"I've reached the outside of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but the entrance is blocked by the poisonous mist of the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers, and I can't get in by myself."
There was a two-second silence on the other end.
"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
"Yes. There are bargaining chips for trading for Snow Empress inside." Dai Huabin directly threw out the key information, "I need you to come out and clear the way for me."
Another silence fell.
Dai Huabin could sense the Ice Empress's inner turmoil through the Blood Pact. She was refining the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow and making good progress, so being interrupted must have made her unhappy.
But once the title "Snow Empress" is thrown at her, she definitely won't be able to sit still.
Really.
"You wait."
Ice Empress's tone was tinged with the irritability of someone who's just woken up.
"I will come out immediately."
Dai Huabin breathed a sigh of relief.
He jumped down from the tree branch, found a clean rock to sit on, and then, with a thought, opened a portal to the Undead Semi-Plane.
A silver-gray portal opened before him, and Ice Empress stepped out from it.
She was still wearing the same white fitted short dress with green trim, and her white leather boots made a soft sound as they stepped on the withered earth.
Her dark green twin ponytails swayed slightly behind her, and her expression screamed:
This emperor is displeased.
"This is the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers you mentioned?" Ice Empress glanced at the purplish-green poisonous mist ahead, wrinkling her nose. "Stinky."
"It's highly toxic." Dai Huabin stood up. "Even ordinary Titled Douluo would be severely injured if they went in."
Ice Empress snorted coldly, raised his right hand, and slightly spread his five fingers.
Emerald green light surged from her palm, and the aura of Ultimate Ice instantly spread out.
The surrounding temperature plummeted at a visible rate, and a layer of white frost quickly formed on the dry soil beneath Dai Huabin's feet.
"That's all the poisonous fog?"
Ice Empress took a step forward, and a verdant aura expanded from her, forming an icy domain within a three-meter radius around her.
The purplish-green poisonous mist, upon touching the edge of Ice Empress's domain, was instantly frozen into tiny ice crystals that crackled and fell to the ground.
"Follow me." Ice Empress said without turning his head, stepping directly into the poisonous fog.
Dai Huabin quickly followed, staying close to the edge of Ice Empress's icy domain.
He could see that with each step Ice Empress took, a large section of the poisonous fog in front of him was frozen and shattered.
The potent poison released by the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers is as fragile as paper in the face of the Ultimate Ice.
"This flower is quite ugly," Ice Empress casually remarked.
After the poisonous fog dissipated, Dai Huabin finally saw the true nature of the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers.
It was a strange plant, entirely emerald green with phosphorescent edges on its petals, densely covering the entire area.
Each flower was constantly releasing a purple-green mist, and tiny, shimmering points of light could be faintly seen at the center of the flower.
"Don't touch it," Dai Huabin warned. "The pollen from this stuff will kill you if it gets on your skin."
Ice Empress didn't even glance at the flowers.
She directly increased the output of her icy domain, Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers beneath her feet were frozen brittle by the severe cold, their petals shattered, and even their stems turned into icicles.
The two continued their advance, crushing their way forward.
After walking for about ten minutes, the poisonous fog gradually thinned out.
The terrain ahead began to change; the trees disappeared, replaced by a patch of bare rock.
The rocks piled up layer upon layer, getting higher and higher as you went forward, eventually forming a steep cliff.
The edges of the cliff were sharply shaved by the wind, and looking down from the top, one could see a circular valley about a hundred feet deep.
Dai Huabin walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down.
His breath hitched for a moment.
At the bottom of the valley, there are two springs, one on the left and one on the right.
