"What? You obtained a portion of [aether]!"
Yu Yuan looked at Xiao Xi in surprise.
"That's right..." Delight still lingered on Xiao Xi's face.
"The instant I finished corrupting the Source of Corruption's remains, that portion of [aether] separated out of his body!"
"Excellent! [Aether] is essential for advancing to gold tier. Obtaining it ahead of time will save us quite a bit of time."

He immediately rode Miemie around to survey the space.
He soon confirmed that the cavern was large enough to hold [Everfrost Lake]. More importantly, it was actually located beneath the Northern Wilderness.
