Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow

"Just a lucky discovery." Lin Xuan smiled faintly.

Upon hearing this, Ice Empress and Snow Empress exchanged a glance before darting over to Lin Xuan.

Smack.

Smack.

The next moment, Ice Empress and Snow Empress moved in perfect unison, each planting a kiss on one side of Lin Xuan's face with a soft sound.

"Hehe." Ice Empress giggled, showing no embarrassment whatsoever. "Little Xuan, this is your reward. Come to think of it, Snowy and I haven't kissed you in a long time since you left the Extreme North."

A cool, soft sensation came from his cheeks, making Lin Xuan pause briefly. He quickly came back to himself, rubbed his nose, and secretly glanced at Wang Qiu'er.

Wang Qiu'er's lovely brows were slightly furrowed. The hand interlocked with Lin Xuan's visibly trembled a little, and a trace of jealousy flashed through her pink-blue eyes.

"What? Is little Qiu'er jealous?" Seeing Wang Qiu'er like this, Ice Empress covered her mouth and chuckled, teasing her.

"Hubby..." Wang Qiu'er's pretty face reddened slightly from Ice Empress's teasing. She took a deep breath, then turned and moved closer to Lin Xuan.

Wang Qiu'er looked at Lin Xuan, bit her tender lower lip, then seemed to make up her mind. Tilting her head up, she kissed him on the lips.

"Hm?" Lin Xuan was somewhat surprised by how proactive Wang Qiu'er was this time. She had always been so reserved, yet now she had actually taken the initiative.

Of course, Lin Xuan was no fool. He quickly realized that Wang Qiu'er was declaring her claim on him. She had probably gotten jealous seeing Ice Empress and Snow Empress kiss him.

But since Wang Qiu'er was being so proactive, there was no way he would let her off. He reached out, held the back of her head, pulled her toward him, pried open her lips, and kissed her deeply right in front of Ice Empress and Snow Empress.

After a long while, their lips finally parted.

At the same time, a glistening silver strand stretched between their lips.

"You two!" Watching the inseparable Lin Xuan and Wang Qiu'er, a faint blush rose on Ice Empress's delicate, fair face. "In broad daylight! You actually...!"

"Uh..." Lin Xuan scratched his head and smiled at Ice Empress and Snow Empress. "Sister Bing'er, Sister Xue'er, let's get to work first. Let's collect all the Ice Extreme Divine Crystals here."

"Hmph!" Ice Empress huffed softly. "I can't be bothered with you."

As she spoke, Ice Empress flew to the right side of the cavern and began collecting the Ice Extreme Divine Crystals there, while Snow Empress flew to the left side and started collecting those on that side.

Ice Empress and Snow Empress each took one side, their hands moving swiftly as they stripped chunk after chunk of Ice Extreme Divine Crystal from the rock walls and casually tossed them onto the ground, piling them into a glittering little mountain.

Lin Xuan, however, did not need to work as hard as Ice Empress and Snow Empress. With Nihility Devouring Flame within him, he only needed to release a small amount of devouring power to strip away the Ice Extreme Divine Crystals.

Before long, every Ice Extreme Divine Crystal had been removed from the walls and stored in Lin Xuan's Storage Ring.

"Alright, Sister Bing'er, Sister Xue'er. We can keep heading down now. The Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow should be below." After putting away all the Ice Extreme Divine Crystals, Lin Xuan took Wang Qiu'er's hand and walked over to Ice Empress and Snow Empress.

The moment Ice Empress heard this, excitement flashed through her amber eyes. Grabbing Snow Empress's hand, she darted toward the bottom of the spring below.

"Uh... was there really a need to be in such a hurry?" Lin Xuan's mouth twitched at the sight. He then led Wang Qiu'er after them.

The deeper they went into the cold spring's source, the more Lin Xuan felt a powerful icy current bore into him like countless steel needles, trying to invade his body.

Lin Xuan, however, dismissed it with disdain. With Nihility Devouring Flame possessing him, he was completely immune to these icy currents.

"Twenty meters... thirty meters... forty meters... fifty meters..."

At this point, the temperature of the spring water around Lin Xuan had neared theoretical absolute zero. It was unimaginably cold. If not for Nihility Devouring Flame possessing him, along with his physique being fully comparable to that of a Titled Douluo, he would never have come to this godforsaken place.

Splash!

All of a sudden, Lin Xuan felt his body grow light as the pressure around him abruptly lessened. He fell into a small cavern.

Lin Xuan carefully scanned it with his spiritual power and found that the cavern was completely dark, with no spring water inside, though the temperature remained extremely low.

Having thoroughly read the original novel, Lin Xuan had been prepared for this. He flicked his finger against his Storage Ring and took out a level-six lighting Soul Tool.

Logically speaking, Nihility Devouring Flame was also one of the Heavenly Flames. Since it was fire, it ought to have heat and light and should have been able to illuminate the cavern.

Yet Nihility Devouring Flame could even devour light and battle qi. It could devour all things, so summoning it would not provide even the slightest illumination.

Otherwise, they would not have casually bought a lighting Soul Tool from a street stall in Mingdu before coming to the Earth Dragon Sect.

As for Soul Tools, Lin Xuan truly had no use for them and did not think highly of them. Although Soul Tools in the later stages of the original novel had beaten Shrek Academy into a dog by the roadside, he still did not care for them.

The reason was simple. He could already cultivate battle techniques, so why would he learn to make Soul Tools? Wouldn't that just be wasting his time?

Once the light from the lighting Soul Tool fully burst forth, the appearance of this space came into Lin Xuan and the others' view.

The space before them was only about ten square meters, with a height of less than one and a half meters. The air here was so viscous it seemed almost solidified, and the ice element was even denser than outside.

Yet within this cavern stood many strange ice pillars, more than a dozen in total. They crisscrossed one another, some large and some small, continuously emitting waves of cold air.

However, under the glow of the lighting Soul Tool, the entire cavern was filled with an eerie deep-purple radiance. Pieces of ice crystal constantly refracted the light, illuminating the cavern as brilliantly as a starry sky.

"Mm." Looking at the breathtaking sight before him, Lin Xuan could not help but sigh. "So this is the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow?"

"This is the place. This is the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow! The supreme treasure every ice-attributed soul beast longs for!" Ice Empress stared unblinkingly at the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow in the cavern with her amber eyes and unconsciously swallowed.

"I want to eat it so badly! There's so much Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow. It should be fine if I eat just a little, right?" Ice Empress's amber eyes were filled entirely with the image of the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow as she muttered, "This is a delicacy I haven't eaten in hundreds of thousands of years! Snowy and Little Xuan definitely won't mind! Hehe."
