Mystic Ice Spirit Marrow

"Teacher, what's going on?"

Xiao Yan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly asked in his mind.

"Judging from this, this should be the Cold Poison Ice Blue Scorpion that recently advanced to the Fifth Tier. It was originally the overlord of this place, but unfortunately it has been dead for too long, and we can no longer sense any other aura from it."

There was a hint of helplessness in the Old Yao's voice.

"Huh? Why is the Magical Core still there?"

But then, the Old Yao said with some surprise.

"Ah?"

Xiao Yan was also taken aback upon hearing this. If a powerful expert were to kill this Fifth Tier beast, they shouldn't have left behind its Magical Core and corpse. The body of Fifth Tier magical beast can be broken down into many rare refining materials, and the weapons forged from them would be tempting even to Dou Wang expert.

After landing on the ground with Xiao Yi Xian in his arms, Xiao Yan released his soul perception to observe the surroundings.

No signs of life were detected.

"Teacher, have you sensed the location of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring?"

Xiao Yan asked.

"Right in front of you."

The Old Yao's voice soon rang out.

What's in front of me?

Xiao Yan stared blankly at the scorpion corpse lying directly in front of him for a moment before looking down at the ground.

Beneath the scorpion's corpse appeared to be a small pool.

However, Xiao Yan did not sense the icy chill that the Ice Spirit Cold Spring should have.

With a sudden jolt, Xiao Yan mustered all his strength and pushed the scorpion corpse aside.

In the small pool, only a few drops of cold liquid remained...

Clearly, the person who killed the Cold Poison Ice Blue Scorpion wasn't after the Magical Core and materials, but rather the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

Xiao Yan was numb and sat down heavily on the ground, lost in thought.

This script is wrong!

He's supposed to be the main character, how could he fail twice in a row?!

"I don't understand, who would come here and take all of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring?"

Xiao Yan frowned slightly and said with some displeasure.

Xiao Yi Xian naturally knew that Xiao Yan must be somewhat disappointed at this moment, but things like this are never going to go as planned. If you can't find it here, you can look for it somewhere else!

"Well, it's not like I got nothing at all; at least I got a Fifth-Tier Magic Core!"

However, Xiao Yan did not dwell on this matter for long. He stood up, walked towards the Cold Poison Ice Blue Scorpion, and with Heavenly Flames swirling around his palm, he directly reached into the Cold Poison Ice Blue Scorpion's brain. After a moment of exploration, he extracted the Fifth-Tier Magic Core.

They then removed the venom sac from its tail stinger and carefully stored it, taking apart all the usable materials.

Looking at the remaining slightly rotten corpse, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then cut it into large pieces. He then reached out and used the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire to ignite the corpse pieces.

It took Xiao Yan a full hour to refine all the corpses of the Cold Poison Ice Blue Scorpion into essence blood.

In general, Fifth Tier magical beast that dies in such an environment shouldn't have its body decomposed in just one month.

However, its injuries were too severe, with huge open wounds all over its body, making it difficult for it not to rot.

Fortunately, it was situated beneath the pool that originally contained the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, which still contained some coldness, freezing a significant amount of blood within its body. Otherwise, the amount of essence blood that Xiao Yan extracted would have been much less.

"Although this place is cold and damp, it can't be considered an extremely yin place. Logically speaking, it's unlikely that there are so many Ice Spirit Cold Spring..."

At this moment, the Old Yao's voice rang out with a hint of inquiry.

"Oh? Could it be that..."

Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat.

He understood what the Old Yao meant.

If the environment is not conducive to the emergence of a certain rare and precious material, it is very likely that the existence of even better rare and precious materials has given rise to some rare and precious materials that are merely covering for themselves.

What can give rise to the Ice Spirit Cold Spring is, of course, some kind of extremely cold substance.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's initial disappointment was instantly replaced by intense curiosity.

He suddenly stood up, his gaze scrutinizing the unremarkable rocky pool wall with the sharpness of a hawk. However, he had not cultivated any Dou Technique related to the eyes, and was still just a mortal with ordinary eyes, unable to discern any signs of movement.

So he simply squatted down, reached out and touched the bottom of the small pool. His soul power poured out, spreading along his palm to every part of the pool. He was surprised to find that although the bottom of the pool seemed to be leak-free, it actually had many tiny cracks!

After a moment's thought, he controlled his soul power and explored along the crevice.

Just then, an astonishing chill suddenly surged from the depths of the earth. Xiao Yan was startled and quickly severed the connection with that wisp of soul perception. He then twisted his waist and exerted force downwards with his palm. As a result, blood-red flames spread from his palm and instantly enveloped the entire pool.

"Hiss... What terrifying cold air!"

Caught off guard, Xiao Yan gasped. Even with the protection of the Heavenly Flames, his fingertips felt a bone-chilling cold, as if his blood was about to freeze.

The extreme cold that erupted from the ground was something even his nascent Heavenly Flames couldn't completely withstand.

It looks like a good product!

Xiao Yan's heart trembled, and he immediately increased the input of his soul power and Dou Qi. The blood-red flames burned fiercely, scorching the stones on the ground until they melted, evaporated, and turned into wisps of green smoke that drifted away.

As more and more of the stone wall melted, the chill emanating from the earth became increasingly pronounced!

However, Heavenly Flames is still Heavenly Flames. It was suppressed for a while because it had not yet grown up and Xiao Yan's strength was too weak to unleash its full power.

Now, feeling the suppression of that chilling aura, the inherent rage and destructive nature of the Heavenly Flames was also unleashed. Beast shadows kept appearing in the blood-red flames, and one could faintly hear beast roars.

The rock wall melted faster, and a moment later, a cracking sound rang out. Xiao Yan felt his feet sink into the air, and instinctively used his Purple Cloud Wings to float and his Dou Qi Gauze to protect himself.

However, a chilling aura shot into the sky, enveloping Xiao Yan and instantly freezing him within deep blue Mystic Ice!

"What terrifying cold air!"

Standing to the side, Xiao Yi Xian was also forced to take several steps back by the cold air. Then she saw Xiao Yan inside the Mystic Ice and her pupils shrank immediately.

However, she wasn't too worried about Xiao Yan's safety.

After all...

Laugh!

Within the Mystic Ice, a pale white flame suddenly rose from the ancient black Storage Ring on Xiao Yan's finger, instantly spreading across Xiao Yan entire body and then sublimating the thick ice layer into mist!

The Old Yao, Yao Lao, also flew out of his Storage Ring. Looking at the scene below, he couldn't help but sigh:

"I never expected this! You're really lucky, kid. You actually managed to find the Mystic Ice Spirit Marrow here, something even I couldn't find back then!"
