Seeing Ice Empress's reaction, Snow Empress was speechless.
Immediately, as if waking from a long dream, she let out a long sigh of relief.
For her, this was a kind of alternative liberation.
From now on, she will no longer be bound by her identity as the Lord of the Far North and can live as the Snow Woman.
That's considered retirement.
The burdens of the Far North had weighed on her for so long that she had almost forgotten what she originally looked like.
Now that she can finally put down this responsibility, she feels a long-lost sense of relief.
Thinking of this, Snow Empress's eyes suddenly lit up with a hint of inspiration as she looked at Lin Mo; she had been looking forward to human society for a long time.
Lin Mo coughed lightly, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the Ice Empress, the Snow Empress, and the Titan Snow Demon King who had arrived from not far away.
He then said, "I have a deal to make, what do you think?"
"What deal?" Ice Empress asked listlessly.
Her voice Flaaffy, completely lacking its usual arrogance.
Even its scorpion tail drooped limply behind it, too lazy to even lift it.
She was clearly still reeling from what had just happened.
" The Far North is now your ally. You can make any requests you have," the Snow Empress said.
Now that she and Lin Mo have merged, their relationship no longer needs those formalities and tests.
"That's unnecessary."
Lin Mo waved his hand, "This is a mutually beneficial deal for both of us."
He didn't want to ask the Far North to do anything as an ally; that wasn't in his style.
At this point, Lin Mo paused for a moment, then took another crystal-clear piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow from the Charizard's Dragon Claw.
Apart from the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress and the Titan Snow Demon King both stared intently at the Ten -Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, unwilling to look away for a long time.
Ice Empress had initially looked utterly dejected, but the moment the ten -Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow appeared, her eyes lit up, and her entire body unconsciously lifted slightly.
Having personally experienced the effects of this Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, she was momentarily captivated by its power.
She seems to be addicted.
She would probably never forget the pleasure of that pure Ice-type energy surging into her body.
That feeling was amazing!
If she hadn't been so rational, she would have even lunged forward and snatched the ice marrow from her.
" Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow..."
Ice Empress swallowed hard, her gaze shifting to Lin Mo, filled with disbelief. "Are you really going to use this to make a deal with us?" Her voice trembled noticeably.
Lin Mo actually gave away the priceless treasure, the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, for trading?
"Yes, that's right." Lin Mo nodded.
"I need a batch of Soul Bone, the higher the quality the better. The Soul Bone must be at least ten thousand years old, and the resource for the trade is this Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow..."
He wants Soul Bone, and only high-quality Soul Bone; he won't even consider those less than ten thousand years old.
"How much Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow do you still have? How much more can you offer for trade?" the Ice Empress couldn't help but ask.
Her eyes were fixed on Lin Mo, trying to glean some clues from his face.
One is extremely lucky to find even one or two pieces of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.
Lin Mo had already offered an enormous amount, yet he still had surplus to trade for Soul Bone. Just how many did he have left?
Thinking of this, Ice Empress felt a sudden urge to try it.
Lin Mo gave Ice Empress a friendly smile, "Guess?"
"Tch, fine, don't tell me then." Ice Empress curled his lip.
However, she quickly rallied her spirits and said in an exceptionally high voice, "I do have what you need here. Remember to prepare the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow!"
She did have quite a few Soul Bone in stock. Although she didn't need them herself, she had always had the habit of collecting them, and now they were finally coming in handy.
"I have some too, but I don't know if it's enough to exchange for the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow," A-Tai said weakly.
Titan Snow Demon King's voice was completely disproportionate to his size, filled with trepidation.
He was naturally extremely interested in the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.
Especially after witnessing the Ice Empress successfully overcome his next Heavenly Tribulation through the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, he became even more tempted.
That's Heavenly Tribulation, a heavenly Heavenly Tribulation that all Soul Beast fear.
After consuming the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress survived the Heavenly Tribulation almost unscathed.
Which Ice-type Soul Beast wouldn't want such a treasure?
Unfortunately, this thing was in Lin Mo's hands.
He could only think about it; let alone take action, even having the thought of doing so would likely only lead to his death.
They had thought they were completely out of luck when it came to the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, but they never expected that Lin Mo would actually use Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow to exchange for their Soul Bone.
This was a truly unexpected and delightful surprise.
Fortunately, it has had a habit of collecting the corpses of its opponents for many years.
Although he thought most of them were of average quality, they were plentiful enough that, little by little, they should be enough to exchange for one or two pieces of ice marrow.
"It's alright, it's alright. If the quality isn't good enough, we'll make up for it with quantity."
Lin Mo said in a friendly tone, "However, you should collect the Soul Bone as quickly as possible, as I won't be staying in the Far North for very long."
He has basically achieved his goal in coming to the Far North. He not only successfully merged with the Snow Empress, but also subdued the Ice Empress. All that's left is to collect the Soul Bone, and then he can return home.
"Don't worry, don't worry."
Ice Empress nodded vigorously, and after exchanging a glance with Titan Snow Demon King, the two parted ways to collect the items Lin Mo needed from their respective clans.
Although Soul Bone have extremely high value, they are of little use to Soul Beast —neither consuming them nor discarding them, making them quite a dilemma.
However, precisely because they understand its value, they all have the habit of accumulating Soul Bone.
Just like Xiao Bai, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King that Lin Mo had once seen.
Lin Mo watched the two figures disappear into the distance, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
"You need a lot of Soul Bone?"
After the Ice Empress and Titan Snow Demon King left, the Snow Empress spoke Youyou, her voice gentler than ever before.
After relinquishing her identity Lord of the Far North, her tone softened considerably.
"Um."
Lin Mo nodded, "Although I don't need these Soul Bone Soul Bone, my wives and companions need quite a few..."
Trading Soul Bone for the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow was one of Lin Mo's key objectives in coming to the Far North.
Obtaining Soul Bone by hunting Soul Beast is far too slow, much slower than directly negotiating with Soul Beast leaders as is the case now.
The prerequisite is that you have items of sufficient value to use in negotiations.
Coincidentally, he still had a considerable amount of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow in his Storage Soul Tool. This was a treasure for Ice-type Soul Beast, making it perfect for exchanging Soul Bone with the Ice Empress and the others.
"Wives..."
Snow Empress subconsciously repeated the word, her gaze shifting back and forth between Lin Mo and Shui Bing'er, her expression changing.
Finally, she shook her head and sighed softly, saying, "I've also toned it down a bit. If you need, come with me."
I need another one of those Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. Do you have any more?
"Yes, I have."
Lin Mo nodded. "But the extra one you asked for, it's probably not for yourself, right?"
"Let me guess, could it be for Ice Bear King Xiaobai?"
"Yes." Snow Empress nodded, feeling a pang of loss upon hearing that familiar name from Lin Mo again.
" Xiao Bai's situation is similar to Bing'er's and the others. They all have about ten thousand years left before they will face their next Heavenly Tribulation."
Now that I have chosen to merge with you, I fear I may not be able to wait until his Heavenly Tribulation arrives; he will have to bear it alone.
And based on my understanding of his situation, the probability of Xiao Bai surviving the next Heavenly Tribulation is there, but it's not very high..."
When Snow Empress spoke of Xiao Bai, a gentle light flashed in her eyes.
Although she never openly acknowledged that relationship, in her heart, this kind-hearted Ice Bear that she had raised from a cub truly held a special place.
Originally, Snow Empress planned to directly give the Soul Bone to Lin Mo. Although her stock was not large, they were all of high quality.
If it weren't for the Ice Bear King Xiaobai, she wouldn't have asked Lin Mo for an extra piece of Ice Marrow.
After all, Lin Mo had already consumed a huge amount of Ice Marrow, and most of it was used on her.
The amount of ice marrow she needs to reshape her body alone is probably more than ten.
This number is astonishing; ten strands of Ten- Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow would absolutely drive any Ice-type Soul Beast mad if placed in the outside world.
" Ice Bear King Xiaobai? Who is that?"
Shui Bing'er raised her hand and voiced her doubts. "Aren't the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North just the three of you?"
You, Ice Empress, and Titan Snow Demon King...
" Xiao Bai... you could say he's my son."
After a moment of hesitation, Snow Empress finally nodded slightly and said...
After merging with Lin Mo, she also gained a more open-minded perspective on many things.
Although they never officially acknowledged their mother-son relationship, Xiao Bai always regarded her as his mother, and she always regarded Xiao Bai as her son.
She just never publicly acknowledged the relationship.
"You already have a son?" Shui Bing'er's pupils Earthquake, her eyes widening instantly.
Don't overthink it.
Lin Mo raised his hand and patted Shui Bing'er's shoulder with a slightly helpless expression, explaining, "One of them is the Heavenly Snow Woman born of heaven and earth, and the other is the Ice Bear King of the Ice Bear Clan. How could they possibly be mother and son?"
Xiao Bai is most likely her adopted son...
Snow Empress nodded, confirming Lin Mo's statement.
"I see." Shui Bing'er belatedly realized.
Immediately, Lin Mo and Shui Bing'er followed Snow Empress to her palace in the core area, Snow Empress Palace.
Snow Empress led the way, with Lin Mo and Shui Bing'er following behind. The three of them traversed the vast snowstorm and headed towards the core area of Far North.
The howling Blizzard formed a natural Barrier here, perfectly concealing the entire palace in the snow.
A palace hidden in the wind and snow, its entire structure forged from millennia-old ice, is exceptionally magnificent.
"These five pieces are all at the 100,000-year level, and the quality of the other three pieces is actually above the 200,000-year level of Ferocious Beast!"
Shui Bing'er stared wide-eyed, looking in disbelief at the pile of Soul Bone at Lin Mo's feet, which resembled a small mountain.
The Snow Empress has produced nearly a double-digit number of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, which are extremely rare to find outside the palace.
Shui Bing'er felt she had never been so shocked in her life.
Eight Soul Bone, five of which are 100,000-year-old and three of which are Ferocious Beast -level.
Even the Spirit Hall probably couldn't produce a collection of this scale.
"As expected of the Lord of the Far North, his actions are truly magnificent!" Lin Mo gave Snow Empress a thumbs up, his face full of smiles.
The Harvest from Snow Empress alone far exceeded his expectations.
He originally thought that Snow Empress would be lucky to produce three or five Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, but he didn't expect her to produce eight at once, three of which were of the Ferocious Beast level.
This deal was absolutely worth it.
Not to mention that among those three Ferocious Beast Soul Bone, one of them is of a quality as high as 300,000 years. In terms of cultivation level alone, the owner of this Soul Bone was more powerful than the current Titan Snow Demon King in his lifetime.
" The Far North was once a chaotic place, even more so than the Star Dou Great Forest."
After I emerged from seclusion, I personally slew the most tyrannical Soul Beast, unifying the Far North and bringing peace to this land.
The Snow Empress slowly began to speak, recounting the origins of these Soul Bone.
"And these three Ferocious Beast Soul Bone in front of you are the last legacy they left behind."
The most powerful Plant-type Soul Beast among them, if it had survived until now, would probably be even stronger than Bing'er...
Soon, after Snow Empress's detailed explanation, Lin Mo gained a general understanding of the origins of these Soul Bone, that is, their owners.
Apart from the three Ferocious Beast Soul Bone, the other five Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone were mostly left behind by Soul Beast that had reached 100,000 years of cultivation but failed to break through the Heavenly Tribulation.
Only one of them, like the three mentioned above, came from a rebellious Soul Beast that she had killed.
As for those three pieces of Ferocious Beast Soul Bone...
Aside from the Head Soul Bone, which was of 300,000 years quality and was provided by a plant-type king that the Snow Empress once said was no less powerful than the Ice Empress, the owners of the other two Soul Bone were powerful Ferocious Beast possessed traces of Ice Dragon and Ice Phoenix bloodlines, respectively.
" Ice Dragon and Ice Phoenix?" Lin Mo raised an eyebrow and picked up the two Soul Bone to examine them closely.
" Bing'er, this piece is yours!"
After storing the remaining seven Soul Bone in his Storage Soul Tool, Lin Mo directly tossed the Ice Phoenix right arm bone to Shui Bing'er.
He had just examined it; the Ice Phoenix right arm bone was of extremely high quality, and its attributes and bloodline were perfectly suited to Shui Bing'er, making it ideal for her.
"Ah, me?"
Shui Bing'er was clearly stunned for a moment, never expecting such unexpected wealth to fall into her lap.
She instinctively reached out and caught the Soul Bone, feeling the icy touch in her palm, her mind still in a daze.
This is Soul Bone of the Ferocious Beast level, and Lin Mo just gave it to her so casually?
"But judging from its attributes, you are its most suitable owner."
"It wasn't for nothing that you came all this way with me. I still have things to trouble you with, so consider this an advance payment. Don't be shy," Lin Mo added.
"Good."
Shui Bing'er nodded vigorously, then sat cross-legged, placed the Soul Bone against her right arm, and began to absorb it.
Seeing Shui Bing'er begin absorbing the Ice Phoenix's right arm bone, Lin Mo couldn't help but shake his head, feeling a pang of emotion once again.
All I can say is that spirit and ice truly deserve to be the answer from ten thousand years later.
Aside from him, Shui Bing'er is probably the biggest winner of this trip to the Far North.
After this trip, collecting a complete set of top-grade Ice-type Soul Bone will be no problem for her.
Shui Bing'er's Martial Soul is the Ice Phoenix, and its compatibility with this Ice Phoenix right arm bone is simply perfect.
After this trip to the Far North, the quantity and quality of the Soul Bone she possesses will likely be ranked among the best on the entire continent.
However, the higher Shui Bing'er's talent and strength, the more advantageous it is for him, and the more confident Shui Bing'er will be in obtaining the Godhood of the Ice God, which is likely to be located in the Far North.
Godhood position cannot be obtained solely through external forces; the successor must also possess sufficient strength and talent.
The stronger Shui Bing'er is, the higher her chances of succeeding in inheriting the Godhood of the Ice God.
This is more beneficial to his upcoming plans!
