Nan Shuishui was shocked and found it hard to believe. In the rumors, wasn't Qin Fang a vicious and cruel Evil Soul Master who enjoyed killing? How could he be so gentle and refined? He had a handsome appearance and elegant speech. He didn't have the slightest bit of the demeanor of Evil Soul Master.
Nan Qiuqiu also stared at Qin Fang with curiosity, a hidden undercurrent in her eyes. He was just too handsome, making her heart flutter and preventing her from looking at Qin Fang.
Qin Fang smiled and said, "Does Madam wish to discuss matters at the door?"
Nan Shuishui then realized her rudeness and hurriedly said, "I apologize for being distracted for a moment. Please allow us to discuss this further within the Earth Dragon Gate."
The Earth Dragon Gate was quite deserted, with almost all its members and disciples having been sent out to other places. However, the architecture was simple and grand, with a kind of rugged beauty.
Nan Shuishui led Qin Fang and the others to the reception hall of the Earth Dragon Gate, sat them in the main seats, and asked impatiently, "May I ask you gentlemen, do you really have anything that can prolong life?"
The items that prolong life in the Douluo Continent are extremely rare. Even though the Earth Dragon Gate has mobilized all its resources, it still cannot collect them.
Qin Fang smiled mysteriously and took out a small piece of Gold of Life from his Storage Soul Tool. In an instant, a cyan light flashed, and the entire reception hall was covered with a rich Life Aura, causing the cells in Nan Shuishui's body to cheer.
Under the influence of this aura, Nan Shuishui felt as if she had become several years younger.
Nan Shuishui's eyes lit up like stars; this thing might really be able to prolong life. A glimmer of hope also appeared in Nan Qiuqiu's eyes; her father could be saved.
Qin Fang smiled and said, "This Gold of Life should be able to resolve the sect leader's hidden dangers."
Just kidding, this thing is a divine object that even Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao are eager to possess.
Suppressing her excitement, Nan Shuishui regained a sliver of clarity and asked, "Everyone, what would you like to exchange for?"
Qin Fang and his group appeared at the perfect time, and they seized upon the weakness of the Earth Dragon Gate, so they might make exorbitant demands.
However, Nan Shuishui was prepared; as long as it wasn't too outrageous, she would agree for her husband's sake.
The Ten Thousand Demons King spoke at the opportune moment, "I have heard that there is Cold Spring at the Earth Dragon Gate. My Young Master wishes to use the cold air to cultivate for a period of time. I wonder if you would agree?"
Nan Shuishui was taken aback. To be honest, this request was not high, in fact, too low.
This Cold Spring is no secret; it has a nourishing effect on the bodies of Soul Master. The Earth Dragon Gate has controlled it for many years, and its disciples can apply to enter it whenever they wish to temper their bodies.
Even Soul Master from the Sky Dragon Gate can apply to enter.
There is a cave thirty meters below this Cold Spring, but it's unlikely that Qin Fang and the others could reach it with their current cultivation levels. To reach the cave, one would need at least the cultivation level of Soul Douluo.
Furthermore, the mechanism to open this cave is controlled by the Earth Dragon Gate, and without special skills, it is impossible to enter.
Qin Fang chuckled and teased, "Madam, only Meng Hongchen and I will enter the Cold Spring. You can detain Xiao Hongchen as a hostage."
Nan Shuishui was completely relieved and said, "Qiuqiu, take Qin Fang to the Cold Spring. He can leave whenever he finishes his cultivation."
Qin Fang bowed and smiled, "Thank you for your generosity, Madam. This 'Gold of Life' contains pure Life Aura solidified within. Simply place it between your eyebrows and slowly absorb it."
Qin Fang handed the Gold of Life to Nan Shuishui, and then, led by Nan Qiuqiu, headed towards the Cold Spring.
Even in the dead of winter, the garden behind Earth Dragon Gate is filled with blooming flowers, their fragrance filling the air and making one feel refreshed and relaxed.
Nan Qiuqiu led everyone to a well that exuded a chill and warned, "Qin Fang, don't dive too deep. This chill is very strong."
Meng Hongchen felt her Martial Soul throb, as if something below was attracting her, and a series of dragon roars emanated from her body.
Qin Fang looked at Xiao Hongchen, Qin Ling'er, Ten Thousand Demons King, and said, "Wait for us here, don't wander off."
Qin Fang, holding Meng Hongchen's hand, leaped into the Cold Spring.
Xiao Hongchen cherished the time he spent alone with Qin Ling'er, telling jokes from time to time that made Qin Ling'er laugh heartily.
Nan Qiuqiu, worried about her father's condition, turned and left.
Inside the secluded training chamber of the Earth Dragon Gate.
The burly and robust Earth Dragon Gate Master, Nan Lingtian, had a layer of fine frost covering his body. The Ultimate Ice aura had almost shattered eighty percent of his meridians, and his Life Aura was constantly draining away.
Nan Lingtian's consciousness was already blurred, his body was stiff, and he trembled from time to time. He even took off his shirt, with an expression that seemed to say, "It's hot, I'm so hot."
Nan Shuishui hurriedly entered the Secret Chamber, looked at her husband with heartache, and quickly placed the Gold of Life between his eyebrows.
The rich Life Aura transformed into a gentle stream, flowing into his body like a warm current, repairing his meridians and dispelling the aura of Ultimate Ice.
"Ling Tian, can you hear me? Circulate your Soul Power and absorb this Life Aura!"
A soft dragon roar emanated from within Nan Lingtian's body. It wasn't entirely pure, but it still possessed the majesty of a king. Roar, roar.
The dragon's roar, initially low and deep, gradually rose in intensity. Finally, the chill on the surface of the Nan Lingtian Body was completely expelled, the meridians within its body were restored, and the flame of life burned brightly once more.
With a whoosh, Nan Lingtian opened his eyes, a faint blue light flashed, and the phantom of the Frost Ice Giant Dragon condensed, a layer of fine light blue scales appearing on its body, and it began to Dragon Transformation.
Clatter, the Gold of Life fell to the ground.
With tears streaming down his face, Nan Lingtian embraced Nan Shuishui tightly, saying, "My lady, thank you so much! Otherwise, I might not have survived this ordeal. What is this?"
Nan Lingtian picked up this piece of Gold of Life and, after a brief sensing, was horrified. The Life Aura within it was terrifying, as if the vitality of a small world had been condensed.
This thing is more valuable than the entire Earth Dragon Gate.
Nestled in Nan Lingtian's arms, Nan Shuishui, overjoyed and weeping, told Qin Fang and the others about what had happened.
Nan Lingtian's face darkened. He said, "People from the Sun Moon Empire have come? Oh no, could they be after our Cold Spring?"
Nan Shuishui punched Nan Lingtian lightly, angrily saying, "You're telling me? Is our Cold Spring worth as much as such a small piece of Gold of Life? What are they after?"
Nan Lingtian frowned again and said helplessly, "That's true. However, I still have to go and keep an eye on things."
Nan Shuishui stopped Nan Lingtian and said, "Lingtian, your Martial Soul, the Frost Ice Giant Dragon, is not the Ultimate Ice. Don't try it, you will really die."
Nan Lingtian wanted to pursue the Ultimate Ice, so he absorbed Ultimate Ice aura in his cave to Martial Soul Evolution. However, the Ultimate Ice attacked his heart meridian, and he almost couldn't be saved.
Nan Lingtian glanced at the Gold of Life in his hand, still unwilling to give up, and said, "Don't worry, Madam. With this metal as a backup, I won't die. Besides, I've been stuck at the level of a 94th-level Titled Douluo for too long."
"I know in my heart that my Martial Soul is weak. If my Martial Soul were stronger, if it could be upgraded to the Ultimate Ice, I might be able to become Super Douluo. At that time, our voice in Dragon City would be much stronger."
Nan Shuishui ultimately couldn't persuade the stubborn Nan Lingtian, and said, "Be careful, and proceed with caution."
