Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: It's Not Good, It's Coming for Me

Afterward, Qian Xunqian immediately attempted to control the effective range of the Fragrant Silk. After two tries, she successfully restricted the range to lock onto Bibi Dong alone.

Everyone is happy when things go well.

After finishing their meal, the group went to look at ice sculptures together. Bibi Dong and Qian Xunqian, the two youngest, even built a snowman.

After playing until they were tired and resting for a night at the hostel, they slept until the sun was high in the sky. They combined breakfast and lunch into one meal, and after eating, they set off in a grand procession toward the Far North.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is a soul beast of the lowest possible rank. The reason it is called the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is that these silkworms, which live in the ice and snow, are exceptionally lazy and sleep all day long.

Names like "Sleeping Sky Ice Silkworm" or "Lazy Ghost Ice Silkworm" were considered too unpleasant to the ear, whereas the word "dream" was deemed quite elegant by the linguists present. After discussing it together, they finally decided to call it the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

After all, an ice silkworm that spends its days having beautiful dreams is just an ice silkworm that sleeps all day!

And this kind of laziness—where it would rather die than move, doing nothing but eating, sleeping, and... bah! Spinning silk—was exactly what Qian Xunqian wanted.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm species is truly one of a kind; it was only because of their laziness that they were captured by humans for research, a rarity throughout history.

As a low-rank soul beast, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm can be seen everywhere in the Far North. As the absolute bottom of the food chain in the Far North, if a penguin were to come along and take a "crunch" out of a piece of ice, there might be two or three silkworms inside, lost in their daydreams.

Qian Xunqian carefully used tweezers to pick up an ice silkworm and placed it into a pre-prepared ice silkworm cultivation soul device. Since there is no electricity in the Far North, it is impossible to convert electrical energy into soul power to charge the soul device.

Therefore, on the way back, they would have to trouble Shui Xiaoer, an ice-type soul master, to maintain the temperature inside the cultivation device.

Catching these ice silkworms is not just a technical job; it is also a political one.

Because one must guard against corruption!

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is truly delicious. Right in front of the three Title Douluo, Qian Xunqian took a bite, and it burst with juice.

"Mmm, this is high protein! Uncle Sky Crocodile, Uncle Yue, Uncle Gui, do you want some? It's great for your complexion!"

"Better not, better not..." Sky Crocodile and the others waved their hands repeatedly; they truly couldn't bring themselves to do it!

Of course, catching ice silkworms is also a physically demanding job.

Currently, the ones Qian Xunqian and the others had caught were all under ten years old, and there were only about a dozen that were over ten years old.

They hadn't seen a single hundred-year ice silkworm, let alone thousand-year or ten-thousand-year ones.

Hard work pays off, and finally, the seven of them found a hundred-year Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

It was Bibi Dong who found it. Qian Xunqian discovered that Bibi Dong's luck was on a level far beyond her own or that of the other five.

Although, as a scientist, she should be a loyal believer in science, practice is the father of science. Since practice proved that Bibi Dong's luck was truly god-like, was this what they called metaphysics?

Qian Xunqian felt a sharp pang of heartache; this was the only hundred-year ice silkworm! Her hands trembled uncontrollably as she took it.

"Sister Qian, are you weak or something? The silkworm is so light, yet your hands are still shaking!"

Bibi Dong teased.

Qian Xunqian didn't even speak, fearing that if she opened her mouth, the sound would vibrate the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to death. She carefully served this silkworm, which had been obtained through such great hardship, into the VIP cultivation soul device she had crafted.

Only then did she wipe the cold sweat—no, it should be ice sweat—from her forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.

The group continued to search the Far North, but they never encountered another Sky Dream Ice Silkworm over a hundred years old, though they did find a few ten-year ones.

"Ouch!" Bibi Dong was hopping around playing in the Far North when, through a moment of carelessness, she fell into an ice hole.

Hearing the sound, Sky Crocodile flew over to check, then jumped into the ice hole himself.

After confirming that Bibi Dong was unharmed, he was just about to bring her up when he was stunned by the sight before him.

"Ten... ten... Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave..."

Qian Xunqian and the others jumped down as well.

Ning Fengzhi was greatly shocked. These Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrows were priceless treasures! Just what kind of insane luck did his cheap fiancée have?

Bibi Dong: Regardless, I am the future great villain. A villain should have a higher cultivation level than the protagonist, right? What's wrong with Heaven giving me something to improve my strength?

"Wow! A thousand-year ice silkworm!" Qian Xunqian shouted, but she immediately covered her mouth, dancing with joy as she approached the fat, big bug.

Huo Yuhao: Kids, my cheat code is gone...

Shui Xiaoer said speechlessly:

"No, Miss Qian, is our focus in the right place?"

If anyone was drooling the most over the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave, it was undoubtedly Shui Xiaoer. There was no other reason than that she was an ice-type soul master; if she could absorb a piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, it would be of immense help to her.

Although she was the most talented person in the Heavenly Water Academy, her innate soul power was only level seven, and even if she broke her head trying, she would barely reach the Title Douluo level.

But with the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, it would be different. She could use the energy absorbed from the marrow to purify her ice attribute and improve the quality of her martial soul. Becoming a Title Douluo would no longer be an unreachable dream; she could even aspire to become a level 95 Super Douluo.

After inviting the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm into her SVIP cultivation soul device, Qian Xunqian finally had the time to examine the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave before her.

"This ice silkworm must have arrived here not long ago and consumed some of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, which is how it raised its cultivation to the thousand-year level. Sigh, but we have no such luck to enjoy the marrow here."

Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow: The core treasure of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave, condensed from the origin of profound ice over ten thousand years. It is divided into three grades: thousand-year, ten-thousand-year, and hundred-thousand-year, with higher quality found deeper inside.

Core efficacy: Can refine the physical body to the extreme, permanently increasing the talent of ice-type martial souls and the upper limit of ice-type attacks. Ten-thousand-year marrow can break through cultivation bottlenecks; even Title Douluo can use it to steadily increase their soul power.

Hundred-thousand-year marrow can bring the dead back to life, repair damaged meridians, martial souls, and soul origins, and even help ice-type soul beasts break through the hundred-thousand-year cultivation bottleneck. It is the supreme treasure of the extreme ice attribute.

Forbidden to use: If a non-ice-type soul master touches it, their meridians will be instantly frozen, and forcing consumption will cause the body to explode and die, with no way to resolve it.

"However, the Cold Pole Spirit Spring here is useful to us. Soaking in the spring water can permanently increase a soul master's mental power limit and refine their mental origin. If an ice-type soul master soaks and cultivates here, their speed can be increased tenfold."

"This is the Ice God Crystal, a top-tier crystal born alongside the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave. It is formed by the compression of the ultimate ice attribute origin over a million years. Its texture is incredibly hard yet possesses extreme flexibility, and it contains the life force of ice spirits within. It is the highest-grade ice-type material on the Douluo Continent, capable of forging top-tier ice-type soul tools or even divine artifacts."

"Not only that, embedding it into a martial soul can permanently amplify the power of ice-type soul skills, and it can even allow an ordinary ice-attribute martial soul to touch the threshold of ultimate ice!"

Shui Xiaoer dropped to her knees with a thud.

"Your Highness the Saintess, Miss Qian, esteemed elders, and titled douluo, could you please grant me a piece of Ice Marrow..."

Sky Crocodile patted his chest and guaranteed, "As long as your Water Element Family and Heavenly Water Academy join our Spirit Hall, never mind one piece—my eldest brother and I guarantee that as long as the ecology of this Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave is not destroyed, we will give you as much as you need!"

Shui Xiaoer nodded excitedly, "Mother and the others will definitely agree!"
