Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 150: Ice Soul Gu Awakens

In a flash, Lin Jing saw the cold pond that Shensong had mentioned.

The surface of the lake is calm and waveless, like a huge mirror. Cold air rises slowly from the bottom of the lake, forming a thin layer of ice mist, which lingers on the surface of the lake, adding a bit of fairy air to the cold lake.

Lin Jing held the dragon carp and dived into the cold pond. As he dived deeper and deeper, the temperature dropped rapidly. However, for Lin Jing, it had no effect. Not to mention the temperature brought by the dragon carp, Lin Jing's ice soul body alone could make him extremely resistant to the cold!
boom---

An unknown amount of time had passed, but Lin Jing seemed to be falling from a Tiantan Lake, sweeping up all the water in the lake. He fell heavily and hit the ground. The temperature around him suddenly changed qualitatively, and even Lin Jing's icy body began to feel the chill.

He quickly looked up at the sky, and saw that the bottom of the pool had become a sky pool, and he was in a huge ice and snow cave, surrounded by piles of ice and rocks. The cold air was bone-chilling and went straight to his soul. As he entered this place, he even felt the Ice Soul Gu sealed by the sacred tree, shaking faintly.

"Pop!!!" Upon arriving here, the dragon carp that had originally disdained the cold began to shiver. Seeing this, Lin Jing threw it back into the cold pond above and said, "Just train in the pond until you are no longer afraid of the cold."

"It's outrageous that a descendant of a fire unicorn is afraid of the cold."

Long Li glanced at Lin Jing and felt that Lin Jing was being a hooligan by talking about the attributes without considering the temperature value.

After arranging the dragon carp, Lin Jing exhaled a breath of white air, observed the surroundings, and said: "If you are below the Golden Core level and do not have a special physique, you will probably freeze to death soon if you enter this place."

"Freezing to death is only the lightest consequence. Even for a cultivator with a higher level of cultivation, staying in such a place for a long time will cause permanent illness. All right, quickly unseal the Ice Soul Gu and let it absorb this extremely cold air freely!"

Urged by a pine cone that suddenly appeared, Lin Jing nodded and said, "Then I'll ask Senior to protect me. In addition, the formation you mentioned to deal with the Yinshi Sect monks..."

"You don't have to worry. If he can find this place, he will never come back." Shen Song was full of confidence.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing closed his eyes and his spirit entered the sealed world, where he saw the Ice Soul Gu bound by numerous trees.

Looking at this giant spider made of ice and snow, he couldn't help but sigh:

"I've sealed you for such a long time, and you've suffered a lot... No, you haven't been treated unfairly in Dragon and Phoenix Cave Heaven. In your previous reincarnation, you may not have broken through to the eleventh level of Qi training."

"I hope that your foundation building this time can help me break through to the twelfth level of Qi training in one fell swoop!"

"The thirteenth level of Qi training is the best!"

Click.

With Lin Jing's release, the sacred tree that bound the Bingpo Gu began to withdraw, and the entire body of the giant spider was revealed. More and more cold air poured into Lin Jing's body from the outside, and was then passively absorbed into the body by the Bingpo Gu.

At the same time, the Ice Soul Gu was also continuously emitting cold air. The two kinds of cold air were completely different. One was the pure cold air nurtured by heaven and earth, and the other was the poisonous cold air transformed by the Ice Soul Gu.

The latter caused greater damage to Lin Jing's body, but fortunately, there was a golden Buddhist bead inside Lin Jing's body that could help Lin Jing absorb most of the cold energy.

Allowing the Ice Soul Gu to absorb the extreme cold air and no longer restrain its growth in cultivation, it was only a matter of time before the Ice Soul Gu established its foundation. During this time, Lin Jing himself did not plan to sit idle. He took out the Hundred Flowers Fairy Honey sent by the Hundred Flowers Valley and a one-time secret jade slip with its imprint, intending to take this opportunity to practice the "Art of Metamorphosis" to eliminate his own presence.

"It smells so good." The Hundred Flowers Fairy Honey is worthy of being one of the ten great treasures in the Great Wilderness. Lin Jing just opened the jade bottle and smelled the aroma of the golden nectar. His taste buds, which had been sealed for a long time by the deliciousness of dragon liver and phoenix marrow, began to loosen.

"It smells good." A voice came out, seeming to approve.

Lin Jing nodded, but his expression froze for a moment, because the voice just now was not from Senior Shensong, nor from Songyeshu and Longli. His expression suddenly changed, and he quickly sensed his body. In an area filled with ice and snow, a small white ice crystal spider had awakened from its sleeping state.

Lin Jing was astonished. Wasn't it said that it would be difficult for the Ice Soul Gu to wake up before it established its foundation?... How come it woke up so soon after the seal was released?

"Container, you smell so good." The Ice Soul Gu continued to make sounds.

"So this guy was saying I smell good." Black lines appeared on Lin Jing's forehead.

The Bingpo Gu suddenly awakened, which was beyond Lin Jing's expectations. He also remembered that the memories of the ten great strange Gu would be erased after their reincarnation. In other words, this Bingpo Gu should be considered a "baby" at this time, but it actually knew that it was the other party's container and could communicate with the other party mentally. Its intelligence was obviously several levels higher than that of the pine leaf rat and the dragon carp.

"Give me a bite." After saying that, the Ice Soul Gu began to crawl inside Lin Jing's body, breaking through the ice house. It was about to suck Lin Jing's blood like the mosquito beast. Seeing this, Lin Jing immediately used the power of the contract to restrain the Ice Soul Gu.

Bingpo Gu was unable to move at once, and asked in confusion: "Why are you stopping me?"

"You want to eat my flesh and blood, why do you ask me to stop you?"

"But you used my power without giving anything in return. Isn't that unfair?" Bingpo Gu asked.

Lin Jing was stunned. This Ice Soul Gu... was trying to reason with him?

"No means no, so don't worry about my health."

"Untie these strange restraints, and I'll leave." Bingpo Gu said.

Lin Jing remained silent.

"I said I wanted to leave but you didn't want to."

"You don't feed the Gu, but you still want it to work for you. This is not good. We should benefit each other."

Lin Jing just thought it was weird: "You were really just born, this doesn't seem like something a spider cub can say..."

If the Bingpo Gu possessed such intelligence when it was born, then Lin Jing would have to admit that the bloodline of the Ten Strange Gu was indeed peculiar.

In comparison, the dragon carp, which inherited the bloodline of the Fire Qilin, was like a stupid fish at first.

"I don't want to reason with you, but I feel like there are some strange restrictions on my body. You did something to me while I was asleep. It's difficult for me to attack you directly, so I can only reason with you." Bingpo Gu said.

"If you don't answer me, I'll commit suicide. Anyway, I can be reborn, but if you lose me, you'll lose the chance to become a strong person."

"Then please." Lin Jing scratched his ears, and Bingpo Gu instantly fell silent. Lin Jing added with a smile: "Children, don't learn to threaten others like adults. Although I can't let you eat my flesh and blood directly, I can let you enjoy other things."

Bingpo Gu felt better: "I knew that the fish in the pond were food prepared for me. I misunderstood you. Container, it smells good too."
