Lin Xuanchen truly treated Wang Dong'er well. He had handed her a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and an ultimate attribute, both precious treasures in the Soul Master World, without a moment's hesitation.
On that point, never mind Niu Tian-even Tai Tan could find no fault with him.
Meanwhile, elsewhere...
Tsk, tsk. With such a huge Cold Ice Jade Marrow Bed, I might really be able to refine pills that will let the Ice Empress break through to five hundred thousand years of cultivation in one leap.
Lin Xuanchen leaped onto the Cold Ice Jade Marrow Bed and stamped his foot against it, marveling inwardly.
This time, Lin Xuanchen intended to try refining pills that would let the Ice Empress break through to five hundred thousand years of cultivation in one leap. He still remembered what she looked like when she flew into a rage.
No matter how he looked at it, he had been the one to benefit from that accident at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, so he planned to refine some pills to compensate the Ice Empress.
With that thought, Lin Xuanchen hesitated no longer. At a slight stir of his will, the Life Spirit Flame surged out of his body and wound around his right arm like maggots clinging to bone.
"Eight Extremes Collapse!"
Lin Xuanchen gave a low shout, abruptly clenched his fingers into a fist, and drove a punch into the Cold Ice Jade Marrow Bed beneath his feet.
Thud!
As the muffled impact echoed, several spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the Cold Ice Jade Marrow Bed beneath Lin Xuanchen's feet.
At first, the cracks were confined to a single point, but as the hidden force of Eight Extremes Collapse seeped into it, the Cold Ice Jade Marrow Bed rapidly fractured until it shattered into pieces.
"Why do I feel as though I've just escaped some great calamity?"
As Lin Xuanchen completely shattered the Cold Ice Jade Marrow Bed, Electrolux, within his Sea of Consciousness, suddenly felt as if some burden had vanished from his shoulders.
Looking at the shattered Cold Ice Jade Marrow Bed before him, Lin Xuanchen could not help grinning. With a thought, he sent the Life Spirit Flame flying from his body, and it swiftly formed an emerald-green Medicine Cauldron on the ground.
"Go."
Lin Xuanchen flicked a finger. Several Blue Silver Emperors instantly burst from the surrounding ground, bound the shattered pieces of the Cold Ice Jade Marrow Bed, and tossed them all into the Medicine Cauldron.
Whoosh!
The instant the Cold Ice Jade Marrow Bed was thrown into the Medicine Cauldron, a mass of emerald-green flame rose from its base and engulfed it.
Hiss, hiss!
As the Life Spirit Flame swirled, the Ice Marrow Jade inside the Medicine Cauldron was like a beauty stripped of her wrapping. It soon melted into a great pool of ice-blue liquid suspended within the cauldron.
"It's purifying pretty quickly. That's almost enough."
Looking at the great pool of ice-blue liquid inside the Medicine Cauldron, Lin Xuanchen nodded in satisfaction.
Then Lin Xuanchen lightly tapped his Storage Ring, and one heavenly treasure after another, radiating dense natural energy, flew out and hovered above the Medicine Cauldron.
"Cold spirit ice crystal flower..."
"Heavenfrost snow lotus seed..."
"Spirit spring ice soul grass..."
"Glazed nine revolutions grass..."
"Heart-congealing dew..."
Gazing at the various heavenly treasures he had plundered from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Lin Xuanchen clicked his tongue, then swept his hand and tossed them all into the Medicine Cauldron.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the Life Spirit Flame swallowed them.
In the blink of an eye, the scorching, violent Life Spirit Flame burned the cold spirit ice crystal flower and the other medicinal ingredients Lin Xuanchen had plundered from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well into globules of crystal-clear medicinal liquid.
"Time to form the pills."
Looking at the great pool of ice-blue liquid and the globules of crystal-clear medicinal liquid inside the Medicine Cauldron, Lin Xuanchen began the final stage of pill formation.
Hum!
As Lin Xuanchen began the final stage of pill formation, the entire Medicine Cauldron trembled slightly and let out a hum.
The pool of ice-blue liquid and the liquids refined from the medicinal ingredients slowly began to merge, forming one enormous mass of medicinal liquid.
About an hour later, the surface of that enormous mass gradually began to harden, dividing into rough, uneven pill embryos.
Another hour passed. As the last trace of impurities was removed, pills emitting a faint ice-blue glow fully took shape, floating quietly inside the Medicine Cauldron.
Boom!
The instant the pills were finished, an extraordinarily dense surge of energy swept out of the Medicine Cauldron, spread beyond the room, and finally shot straight into the heavens!
The third floor of the Clear Sky Sect...
"Ah, forget it." Seeing that Wang Dong'er would yield to neither coaxing nor pressure, Niu Tian decided to say no more.
Then Niu Tian lightly brushed his hand over his Storage Soul Tool and took out a Brocade Pouch.
"Little Dong." Niu Tian held the Brocade Pouch out to Wang Dong'er. "Keep this Brocade Pouch safe."
"First Dad, what's this?" Wang Dong'er accepted the Brocade Pouch from Niu Tian and asked in confusion.
"Little Dong, since you like that boy so much, your Second Dad and I won't stand in your way any longer." Niu Tian slowly explained:
"Your father made this Brocade Pouch himself. According to his instructions, you two can only be together after that boy completes the task inside it."
"My father?" Wang Dong'er froze for a moment, then asked excitedly, "First Dad, when will my father come back? Why don't I have any memories of him at all?"
"I don't know either." Niu Tian shook his head. "But I can say for certain that if you start a family one day, your father and mother will both come back."
"First Dad, is that really true?" Wang Dong'er asked.
"Yes." Niu Tian nodded.
"All right!" Hearing that, Wang Dong'er sprang out of her seat.
"I'm going to have A-Chen's baby right now!"
Wang Dong'er declared eagerly, "I'll go find A-Chen right now! I want to have his baby as soon as possible! Then I'll be able to see Mom and Dad!"
With that, Wang Dong'er turned to leave, intending to find Lin Xuanchen.
"Hey! You mustn't!"
At Wang Dong'er's words, not only Niu Tian but even Tai Tan could no longer stay seated. Both hurried to stop her from going to find Lin Xuanchen.
"Little Dong! You can't do that! How can you treat a lifelong commitment like child's play? I already trust your judgment. Put the Brocade Pouch away first. As for having a child, it's far too early."
"Besides, you should be putting your studies first right now. Although you ran straight out of Shrek Academy this time, none of that is a problem. Whenever you want, I can take you back."
Niu Tian painstakingly reasoned with her, terrified that Wang Dong'er would go find Lin Xuanchen to produce offspring at any moment.
