Ice Jade Empress Scorpion

Shui Lingfeng looked at his Soul Rings, overwhelmed with excitement.

Qian Yufeng keenly noticed that the gloom in his eyes had vanished, replaced by that familiar confidence from before.

Good, good, good. In the future, there would be another Title Douluo on his side.

Han Feng appeared again, this time in a chibi form.

"Wow, you can appear in two forms too!" A-Luo walked up to him curiously and exclaimed.

Han Feng nodded. "Naturally. I can also sense that dangerous aura has disappeared."

Qian Yufeng knew full well that this was not over yet. Smiling at Han Feng, he asked,

"Your Ice Bird clan's nest is near the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow. How much Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow is there here?"

Han Feng had not expected him to ask that, but now that he had become a Soul Spirit, the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow was no longer useful to him.

"Right beneath our feet. This place was hollowed out because I already absorbed all the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow."

"In the Far North, aside from our clan, only the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm clan can find large stores of Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow."

Qian Yufeng looked toward the two maids, and they immediately understood.

A blade and a sword stabbed into the ground beneath them, followed by a strange surge of energy.

Cracks appeared in the ground beneath their feet before it quickly caved in. The two women hurried to Qian Yufeng's side.

Seeing the irregular icy cones that resembled bone marrow, A-Luo immediately grew excited.

"That's it! That's it!"

Shui Lingfeng had also heard tales of the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow, but seeing it in person was simply too astonishing!

"There is nothing particular about collecting Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow. It is similar to jade, but its storage is extremely particular."

"If it is not absorbed within ten days of being collected, the spiritual energy within it will slowly dissipate."

Qian Yufeng knew the details well.

Han Feng glanced at Qian Yufeng without saying anything, tacitly acknowledging his explanation.

Seeing so much Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow, Qian Yufeng knew that the few of them could not possibly use it all.

"Perfect. I have jade boxes here, and they are made from rare Ice Jade. They are ideal for storing Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow."

With a slight smile, he took out a jade box nearly the size of a coffin.

"..." Han Feng suddenly felt that this human was rather calculating.

A box this large, made from Ice Jade, could hold enough Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow for at least a hundred people to raise their cultivation by ten levels.

Qian Yufeng immediately got to work, having the two maids assist him. Before long, they filled the Ice Jade box.

Naturally, he had to pack away more of such a good thing. This way, even after fifty years, the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow would not lose its spiritual energy.

After gathering the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow, he took out three more boxes the size of backpacks, filled them, and handed them to the two maids and Shui Lingfeng.

"Absorb them slowly. It wasn't easy to come all this way."

Shui Lingfeng had originally only wanted to bring a few pieces back for his father and younger sister. He had never expected the President to give him so much!

After absorbing some of it, his younger sister would likely be able to reach the level of a Title Douluo.

As for his father, he had long been a level ninety-seven powerhouse, so he had no need for it.

Once the collection of the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow was complete, Qian Yufeng leveled the ground again. More Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow would be born here in the future.

After leaving the cave, Han Feng had no intention of simply giving up his cave.

He said, "Seal the cave. I have no wish to see someone else occupy my nest."

With a wave of Qian Yufeng's right hand, a stream of Soul Power shot out and shattered the ice above the cave, quickly burying it.

"Let's go!"

Han Feng returned to Shui Lingfeng's spiritual world and stopped paying attention to their surroundings.

A-Luo did the same. The endless expanse of white around them was truly boring to her.

After Qian Yufeng and the others had traveled for an hour, they found their surroundings unusually quiet.

There was not even an ordinary animal in sight nearby. Something was clearly wrong.

"President, why can't we even see a Snow Fox or Snow Rabbit?" Shui Lingfeng asked in confusion.

They had seen plenty of small animals when they came here, but now there was not even a trace of one. It was far too strange!

"It is not that there are no small animals here. They have been frightened away by something terrifying!"

Qian Yufeng frowned deeply. Danger was lurking nearby.

"Ling Xin, Ling Su, stay alert!"

Qian Yufeng was confident in his judgment. A powerful soul beast was definitely nearby.

A-Luo appeared again at that moment. She looked around curiously before saying,

"A-Feng, a very powerful soul beast is sleeping beneath the ice!"

"It has already awakened!"

A-Luo's words raised Qian Yufeng's vigilance to its peak.

A powerful soul beast had been hiding beneath the snow, yet they had not noticed it. This was no ordinary existence.

Soon, they felt intense tremors, and a sharp tail emerged from the snow!

"That is... the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion!" Shui Lingfeng knew the soul beasts of the Far North quite well.

However, why was this Ice Jade Empress Scorpion's tail different from the descriptions?!

Qian Yufeng inwardly cried out in alarm. How had they run into the Ice Empress, one of the Four Great Beasts of the Far North?!

The four of them rapidly retreated, avoiding the sinking snow.

Soon, the Ice Empress's enormous soul beast body emerged from the snow.

Her appearance possessed a unique beauty, but the more beautiful something was, the more dangerous it often became!

The moment the Ice Empress appeared, she locked onto Qian Yufeng.

"Human, after all these years, your strength has actually broken through!"

The Ice Empress clearly knew Qian Yufeng.

Qian Yufeng knew her temperament well and said, "Ice Empress, this is no longer the territory of your Ice Jade Empress Scorpion clan, and we have not harmed any of your kin."

The Ice Empress naturally knew that. She had come here because she sensed Qian Yufeng's aura.

This human had left a deep impression on her.

After all, he was the one who had explicitly stated that the Snow Empress could not break through the seven-hundred-thousand-year threshold.

"I mean no harm. I came this time to ask you: after all these years, have you found a way to solve the problem?" the Ice Empress asked again.

Moreover, as she looked at A-Luo, she felt that this adorable little thing was anything but ordinary.

"There is a way, but the Snow Empress may not be able to accept it," Qian Yufeng sighed.

The Snow Empress was the ruler of the Far North with more than six hundred thousand years of cultivation. How could she willingly become a Soul Spirit?

If she could choose to take the path of rebuilding through transformation, she would have long since become a Title Douluo of the Far North.

Otherwise, she would not have waited until now, still wanting to gamble on that slim chance.

"You really have a way?!" the Ice Empress cried out in surprise. Then, in a flash of white light, she transformed into human form.

(Refer to the Ice Empress's appearance in the anime.)

Just as she was about to approach Qian Yufeng, Qian Lingxin and Qian Lingsu blocked her.

"Human, what do you mean by this?!" the Ice Empress glared at him in displeasure.

"The Ice Empress can be considered my friend. It's fine," Qian Yufeng said, signaling for them to move aside.

The Ice Empress stared at him and asked again, "Is the method you mentioned turning into something like this little one?"

Qian Yufeng nodded. That was exactly it.

"A-Luo is a Soul Spirit. In a sense, she can also be considered a living soul beast."

"A soul beast that has formed a special contract with me!"
