To Shui Bing'er's surprise, Lin Mo nodded without hesitation and said, "I have fused with an extremely powerful Ice-type left arm bone."

The lingering remnants of my Soul Bone revealed this place, which is why I, as if possessing precognitive abilities, asked you to help me find it.

That's why I knew something was here.

Without batting an eye, Lin Mo shifted all the blame onto the Ice Dragon King.

As he said this, Lin Mo's left arm glowed slightly, and a layer of icy blue light spread from his arm.

Shui Bing'er sensed that the purity of this Ice-type far Ultimate Ice that of her own Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, and her doubts dissipated considerably.

But a hint of doubt still lingered in her beautiful eyes.

Shui Bing'er remained silent for a moment, then did not ask any further questions.

Everyone has their own secrets, and Lin Mo's willingness to tell her these things already stems from his trust in her.

Soon, Lin Mo turned around and looked at the surrounding Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Cavern. His gaze lingered on the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, and his spiritual power swept over them, allowing him to determine the quantity of the Profound Ice Marrow.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, totaling forty-five strands.

The terrifyingly low temperature and chill in this Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Ice Cavern originate from the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.

" A-Mo, what exactly is this thing?" Shui Bing'er finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been on her mind.

Lin Mo coughed softly and hugged the slightly trembling Shui Bing'er tighter in his arms. " Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow."

"This is a top-tier natural treasure with Ice-type, and it is of the same grade as the Gold of Life in Sister Lingling's hand."

The Gold of Life is a top-tier natural treasure with the Life-type, while the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow is of the Ice-type.

For Ice-type Soul Master and Soul Beast, this is an absolute must-have, and no one can refuse it.

At this point, Lin Mo couldn't help but smile, "This is also the real reason why I insisted on coming to Dragon City first to retrieve this Profound Ice Marrow before heading to the Far North to negotiate with the Ice and Snow Empresses."

Shui Bing'er nodded thoughtfully. "With this, your success rate in negotiating with them will indeed be much higher."

Shui Bing'er, who also possessed Ice-type, knew all too well the allure of this cluster of ice marrow to Ice-type users.

If she had encountered this Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow years earlier, her cultivation level would probably have already broken through to the Titled Douluo realm, or even higher.

But this idea remained just a thought in my mind.

Even now, without Lin Mo's help, she wouldn't even be able to get here smoothly.

Not to mention taking it away.

Even if we knew beforehand, what good would it do? We'd just be staring at a mountain of treasure without Leer.

Soon, Lin Mo patted Shui Bing'er in his arms and nodded, " Bing'er, would you like to try absorbing a piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow?"

Since such an opportunity exists, it would be a shame to miss it. I'm not Ice-type Soul Master, otherwise I would also be very tempted by this..."

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Alright."

She reluctantly left Lin Mo's embrace, bowing slightly as she approached a piece of ice marrow.

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, placed her palms on it, and closed her eyes.

A cool sensation came from the palm of my hand, and a surge of pure, Ice-type energy flowed into my body through the palm.

Just then, Lin Mo's voice rang in her ear. "Things are good, but you must not be greedy."

If you absorb too much of this at once, there's a good chance you'll be forced into a deep sleep to consume the absorbed power of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.

Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, a sense of vigilance suddenly arose in Shui Bing'er's heart.

Her absorption speed also slowed down from the initial rush, gradually guiding the power of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow into her body.

Lin Mo's words were not an exaggeration.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm cultivated for a million years by simply eating and sleeping, relying on this Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.

The reason it ate and slept was because the power contained within the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow was too immense, requiring it to slumber in order to absorb it successfully.

If Shui Bing'er absorbs too much, she may be forced into a deep sleep, just like the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm before her.

Although she couldn't sleep for as long as the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, which could sleep for hundreds or even thousands of years.

But even if you accidentally sleep for ten years, that would be a huge problem.

Then it would truly be a case of "no Sun Moon in the mountains"...

Even with prior preparations, the time it took Shui Bing'er, with her Eight-Ring Soul Douluo cultivation, to absorb and digest the power of the Profound Ice Marrow far exceeded Lin Mo's expectations.

It took a full half month.

For the past two weeks, Shui Bing'er has kept her palms pressed against the ice marrow, remaining completely still.

Throughout this time, Lin Mo maintained the Domain of Ice open, helping Shui Bing'er resist the omnipresent harsh cold around her.

For Lin Mo, who has now fused and absorbed two Soul Core, maintaining the opening of his domain is barely keeping pace with his Soul Power recovery speed.

Not to mention that the Charizard has a full three Soul Core.

For half a month, Lin Mo barely slept.

He sat cross-legged beside Shui Bing'er, the Domain of Ice on his left arm never breaking.

Two weeks later.

After cultivating for a long time, Shui Bing'er slowly opened her eyes, her pretty face filled with undisguised joy.

Through this period of cultivation, she successfully refined and absorbed all the power of the ten -Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, making it her own.

This single strand of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow is equivalent to several years of her own arduous cultivation.

A flash of icy blue light appeared in her eyes, and her Soul Power was much stronger than before she went into seclusion.

Shui Bing'er stood up, stretched her body, turned around, and looked at Lin Mo.

Soon, Lin Mo's voice rang in Shui Bing'er's ears.

"How are you feeling? The Harvest must have been quite good; it was worth spending almost half a month cultivating..."

Lin Mo leaned against the cave wall, the Domain of Ice still in effect.

"Very good, very good." Shui Bing'er's joyful voice rang out.

At this point, Shui Bing'er's icy blue eyes stared intently at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Shui Bing'er's gaze towards him had changed.

In those eyes, besides gratitude, there seemed to be something else that was hard to explain.

"I really owe you a huge favor this time, A-Mo. I feel like I owe you more and more favors, and I can never repay them all."

Or should I just offer myself to you?

After making a joke, Shui Bing'er's expression quickly returned to normal.

Before Lin Mo could respond to the joke, she had already released her Martial Soul and completed the Martial Soul Possession.

The Ice Phoenix Martial Soul appeared behind her, its ice-blue wings unfurling and radiating a chilling aura.

But at this moment, the temperature of the cold air surrounding Shui Bing'er was much lower than it had been half a month ago.

Eight Soul Ring flashed alternately beneath her feet, and the blush on her pretty face deepened.

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, and said, "The most direct improvement that this Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow brought me was in terms of Soul Power Level."

After absorbing the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, my Soul Power Level jumped directly from Level 83 to level eighty-seven.

"Not bad," Lin Mo praised.

Level 87, one step closer to becoming Quasi-Titled Douluo at Level 90.

Such a speed of cultivation is simply unbelievable in the outside world.

"However, the improvement of Soul Power is secondary; the most important thing is the refinement and purification of my own Ice-type by this Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow."

Only now can my Ice Phoenix Martial Soul be called a true Ice Phoenix, Ice Phoenix that possesses the Ultimate Ice even in its normal state!

"And it's not just ordinary Ultimate Ice!"

At this point, Shui Bing'er's expression brightened with joy.

For her, this was the biggest Harvest from the trip.

After all, cultivation level can be improved through arduous training, but the advancement of attributes, especially the transformation from ordinary attributes to Ultimate Attribute, requires an extraordinary stroke of luck.

Previously, she could temporarily control the Ultimate Ice through Martial Soul Fusion Skill or the talent Nirvana.

However, temporary control and permanent possession are two completely different concepts, and their strengths are far from comparable.

Her strength has increased dramatically compared to before.

But besides the Harvest in strength, what made Shui Bing'er even happier this time was that she confirmed her feelings for Lin Mo.

Her personality is ultimately different from Huo Wu Shiranui's straightforward nature; otherwise, she would have confessed directly just now.

Although she had been cultivating for the past two weeks, she was not completely unaware of the outside world.

Come to think of it, ever since returning from Sea God Island, she had been deliberately avoiding any opportunity to be alone with Lin Mo. Not because she disliked him, but precisely because she liked him.

It wasn't just because of the feelings he harbored in his heart, but also because of his younger sister, Shui Yue'er.

Every time Shui Yue'er mentioned Lin Mo, her eyes would sparkle with admiration and affection.

She's the older sister, how could she possibly like the same person as her younger sister?!

But after spending this time together, Shui Bing'er could no longer deceive herself.

All the goodwill she had accumulated over time, and the flutter of her heart that she had deliberately ignored, now surged up all at once...

It couldn't be suppressed any longer.

She couldn't pinpoint exactly when this feeling of attraction began.

Perhaps it was on Sea God Island, or perhaps even earlier.

But at this moment, she was certain that she liked Lin Mo.

It's not gratitude, nor admiration, just simple liking.

When Lin Mo asked her to go ahead and scout the way in Dragon City, she was overjoyed.

Being able to do something for Lin Mo, and being needed by him, filled her with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, and a faint smile appeared on her serene face.

She looked at Lin Mo and said softly, " A-Mo."

In the past, to avoid suspicion, she always addressed him by his first name.

Now, she doesn't want to call him that anymore.

"What's wrong?" Lin Mo looked up at her.

Shui Bing'er shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing, I just wanted to thank you. You've worked hard these past two weeks."

Lin Mo waved his hand. "This little bit of exertion is nothing, I'll recover after a couple of days of rest. I'm glad you're alright."

Lin Mo completely ignored Shui Bing'er's teasing.

Because of Shui Yue'er, he had become somewhat immune to this kind of teasing.

Every time that girl saw him, she would say something nonsensical, like " Lin Mo, you're so handsome" or " Lin Mo, I like you." He got used to it.

He took Shui Bing'er's earlier remark about "offering herself to me" as a joke and didn't take it to heart.

Lin Mo lowered his eyes to look at Shui Bing'er and said, "Now that the matter is settled, after we take some of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow with us, we can leave here and head to the Far North."

Shui Bing'er lowered her eyes to look at Lin Mo: " A-Mo, how do you plan to take these things away?"

Shui Bing'er's tone held a hint of worry. "Given the terrifyingly low temperature it emits, I'm afraid even Storage Soul Tool wouldn't be able to store it, right?"

Its terrifyingly low temperature is likely capable of destroying any grade of Storage Soul Tool.

She had seen Lin Mo's Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse before; it was already Storage Soul Tool of extremely high quality.

Even such a top-grade Storage Soul Tool probably couldn't withstand the extreme cold of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo shook his head slightly. "It's alright, there's no need to take them all, just a portion will suffice."

"As for how to take it away safely, that depends on how much I can carry," Lin Mo said thoughtfully, looking at his left arm.

Lin Mo had already made plans, intending to follow the example of Huo Yuhao and the others and seal the power of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow into his Soul Bone.

Given the quality of the Ice Dragon King Left Arm Bone, it would be absolutely no problem for him to seal away at least a portion of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow here, if not all of it.

As long as Snow Empress and the others see the existence of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow with their own eyes, that will be enough for him to Snow Empress them.

The Ice Dragon King Left Arm Bone glowed faintly, as if in response to his thoughts.

Before Lin Mo could even make a move, Charizard seemed to sense Lin Mo thoughts and sent him a telepathic message.

This thought was very clear:

This can be temporarily transferred to it; it has a place to store it and can store it all.

Upon hearing Charizard's words, a deep look of confusion flashed across Lin Mo's eyes.

Let Charizard put it there. Where should we put it?

Theoretically speaking, it's true that Soul Master's Martial Soul can help Soul Master store extra Soul Power.

As Lin Mo's Martial Soul, the Charizard can indeed absorb all the power of the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Profound Ice, just like the Ice Empress, which became Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul ten thousand years later, and seal it within its own body.

The key issue is that Charizard controls Ultimate Fire, not Ultimate Ice!

Furthermore, even disregarding the issue of attribute conflicts, if all of this were stored inside its body, any accident would be disastrous.

It's likely it'll turn into the next Tian Meng in a second and fall into a deep sleep.

But the next thought transmitted by Charizard quickly caused Lin Mo to show an unprecedented look of astonishment.
