An Innocent Man Can Be Doomed by His Treasure! First, Seek Out Shui Bing'er; the Betrothal Gift: a Mystic Ice Marrow Jade Box

Tuoba Xi stroked his beard in deep agreement, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Ting Xue is absolutely right."

However, this matter should not be rushed.

"Our Sect has recently encountered a series of tremendous opportunities. If we reveal all our trump cards to Spirit City now, it will only cause us a lot of trouble."

Yin Yu's gaze sharpened, and he replied:

"Does 'father-in-law' refer to... the Worship Hall?"

"That's right, it's those old foxes from the Worship Hall who have lived for over a hundred years!"

A shrewd glint flashed in Tuoba Xi's eyes as he whispered:

"Qian Daoliu and those reclusive old masters have very sharp eyes."

If the Holy Dragon Sect were to reveal the combat power of several super-strong individuals without warning, the Worship Hall would immediately deduce that we have secretly obtained an unimaginable, heaven-defying opportunity!

At that time, the common man will be innocent, but possessing a treasure will be a crime.

Bibi Dong might want to win us over to counterbalance the Worship Hall, but Qian Daoliu will never sit idly by and watch an uncontrollable behemoth grow wildly under the nose of the Spirit Hall."

Yin Yu sneered:

"My father-in-law's concerns are very valid."

"Once the Worship Hall becomes suspicious and intervenes, the situation in Spirit City will completely spiral out of control, and the marriage proposal will become a double-edged sword hanging over the Sect."

Tuoba Xi stood still and decisively made a decision:

"Therefore, the trip to Spirit City must be postponed for a while."

Firstly, let's thoroughly digest these opportunities internally and transform them into real combat power;

Secondly, it would be best to wait until Changqing breaks through to the Soul Emperor, allowing them to witness the terrifying power of Changqing's talent, before proposing marriage in Spirit City!

By then, Changqing's talent will be enough to leave Bibi Dong stunned, and our strength will be just right to control the situation.

Tuoba Tingxue smiled broadly:

"My father is a wise and experienced strategist, and this method is the most reliable."

Since Hu Liena's matter needs to be dealt with gradually, our most important task right now is to finalize the deal with Shui Bing'er from the Skywater Academy!

Tuoba Xi laughed heartily:

"That's exactly right!"

You have to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time.

"First, marry the Extreme Northern Ice Phoenix, then go to Spirit City and pluck that beautiful Demon Fox!"

After agreeing on the general plan, the atmosphere in the main hall completely relaxed.

Tuoba Tingxue looked at Yin Yu and Yin Changqing and said gently:

"I originally planned to go to the Skywater Academy together."

However, the Supreme Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Marrow that our Holy Dragon Sect obtained this time has extremely astonishing and pure medicinal power.

My Martial Soul inherently possesses a portion of Cold Fiend Qi energy. If I were to go into seclusion now to absorb and refine it with all my might, I would very likely break through my current bottleneck in a short period of time, and even reach the threshold of becoming Titled Douluo.

"Now that our Sect has gained another Title Douluo warrior, we'll have a stronger backbone when facing the Spirit Hall in the future."

Yin Yu's eyes were full of concern and tenderness as he nodded and said:

"Ting Xue, you can stay in the sect and cultivate in seclusion without worry."

The earlier one refines the Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Marrow, a creation of heaven and earth, the greater the benefit to one's foundation.

"As for the Skywater Academy, I will personally take Changqing there; that will be sufficient."

Dugu Bo chuckled strangely from the side:

"Brother Yin Yu is now a level 95 Super Douluo. His Demon Dragon dragon aura is so strong that even I have to give way when I see him."

He personally escorted Changqing to propose marriage; the pomp and circumstance were already extraordinary.

If Skywater Academy knew that the Demon Dragon Douluo was coming in person, even the dean would probably have to run out to greet him.

Tuoba Tingxue covered her lips and chuckled:

"Senior Dugu is too kind, but I am truly at ease knowing that my husband is going in person."

She turned to look at Yin Changqing, her beautiful eyes filled with love and entrustment:

"Changqing, Skywater Academy has always been aloof and arrogant in the northern border of the Heaven Dou Empire. The academy is all women and has many rules."

But your journey represents the prestige of the young master of my Holy Dragon Sect. Remember, there is no need to deliberately compromise; you must maintain your pride and composure in every way."

Yin Changqing nodded slightly and calmly replied:

"Mother, rest assured, Changqing knows what he's doing."

Tuoba Xi waved his hand to summon his trusted elders and gave them instructions in a deep voice:

"Go to the Sect's secret vault and retrieve that ' Mystic Ice Marrow Jade Box '!"

Before long, two core disciples entered the hall, their expressions extremely solemn, carrying an exquisite jade box carved entirely from Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Ice.

Before the jade box was even opened, the temperature inside the council hall dropped visibly, and a thin layer of frost condensed in the air.

Tuoba Xi stroked the restrictive runes on the surface of the jade box and smiled with satisfaction:

"Inside, there are three drops of the essence of the top-grade ' Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Marrow ', as well as a half-foot-long piece of top-grade Mystic Ice Marrow Crystal!"

Such supreme sacred artifacts can only be conceived in the most Extreme Cold Peril Zone of the Far North of the Douluo Continent, in the slightest of their kind.

For Soul Master specializing in ice-attribute Soul Power, this item can not only significantly cleanse their marrow and meridians and purify their Martial Soul, but can even cause an incredible fundamental transformation in their ice-attribute Martial Soul!

Yin Yu reached out and took the jade box, carefully storing it in his Storage Soul Tool, and sneered arrogantly:

"Although Skywater Academy has been ranked among the Five Element Academies in recent years, the number of top experts has never been comparable to that of the Lower Four Sects because the entire academy is composed of women and is limited by its inherited foundation."

The ancestor of the Shui has been stuck at the peak of the Soul Douluo for thirty years without making any progress. Although Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul is top-tier, it has been limited by environmental resources and has never been able to break through the God-Level Bottleneck.

"If we were to place this Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Marrow right in front of them, no one in the Shui, young or old, could possibly resist such a temptation!"

Tuoba Xi patted Yin Changqing on the shoulder, his face beaming, and said:

"Not only that, Changqing's foundation is there!"

A 12-year-old Soul King, Twin Saint Dragon Martial Soul!

The betrothal gifts are priceless treasures, and the chosen candidate is an unparalleled genius unlike any other in the history of the mainland.

"I'd like to see which word Skywater Academy can come up with to reject this marriage proposal!"

Yin Changqing remained calm, meeting the gazes of his maternal grandfather and father, and cupped his hands in greeting:

"Changqing will certainly live up to the elders' high expectations and handle this matter properly."

"Alright! Let's not delay, let's set off immediately!"

With a wave of his hand, Tuoba Xi loudly set the terms of the agreement.

Skywater City, in the Far North -south border region of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Because this place is close to the harsh, cold wilderness of the north, the city is built of solid, snow-white frozen stone and is covered in silver.

And Skywater Academy, one of the Five Element Academies on the continent, is located in the Far North of Skywater City.

Amidst the wind and snow, two figures walked through the snow, their steps seemingly light and slow, yet each step covered a distance of dozens of feet.

The snow fell three feet away from the two of them, then was quietly melted away by an invisible yet powerful aura, leaving not a trace on their clothes.

Yin Yu was dressed in a jet-black robe with faint dark gold dragon patterns flowing on it. His face was majestic and cold, and his whole person was like an unfathomable and towering demonic mountain.

Beside him Yin Changqing, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe. He was tall and slender, with beautiful features. His temperament possessed both the otherworldly holiness of the Light Sacred Dragon and the subtle nobility and composure of someone who had long held a high position.
