Deep in the Far North, beneath the endless glaciers.
Inside the ice cavern, Deng Jilin sat cross-legged, regulating his breathing and restoring his condition, while Su Ge waited beside him.
While he waited, however, Su Ge continued collecting the remaining ten-thousand-year ice marrow.
"Even ordinary ice marrow is extremely precious, a cultivation resource that ice-attribute Soul Masters covet."
"As for ten-thousand-year ice marrow, if there weren't records of it appearing before, probably no one would believe such a treasure truly existed."
At the far end of the ice cavern where Su Ge stood, the walls were covered in ten-thousand-year ice marrow.
Anything that had allowed the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to eat his way straight to becoming a million-year soul beast was naturally far from ordinary.
Judging by this, the tolerance one developed to ten-thousand-year ice marrow was probably nowhere near as high as he had imagined.
Although the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had already eaten a great deal of it, the remaining ten-thousand-year ice marrow was still more than enough for their needs.
After collecting all the ten-thousand-year ice marrow here, Su Ge had even needed a large-capacity Storage Soul Guidance Device to fit it all.
"I really can't imagine how much ten-thousand-year ice marrow there was when the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm discovered this place, for him to squander it so freely until he reached a million years."
"He really was a rat in a rice bin, eating it almost clean."
With a sigh of wonder, Su Ge looked at Deng Jilin again.
By now, Deng Jilin's aura had stabilized, and he had recovered considerably.
As Su Ge's collecting gradually ceased and silence returned to their surroundings, Deng Jilin opened his eyes.
"Finished collecting?"
"Recovered?"
The two spoke at the same time, paused in surprise, then exchanged smiles.
