Chapter 565 Mysterious Spirit Inheritance
Chen Guan took out another 10 yuan, but Ma Xiaolong did not accept it.

“Those were things everyone already knew, 10 yuan was fine, but this guess is my own conclusion, it should be at least that amount.” Ma Xiaolong held up one finger.

"One hundred?" Chen Guan asked.

"Guess again, guess as much as you want," Ma Xiaolong said with a smile, not in a hurry.

"One thousand?" Chen Guan asked again.

"Ten thousand," Ma Xiaolong had no choice but to say it himself.

"How do I know if your information is reliable?" Chen Guan said.

“It’s definitely unreliable, otherwise how could it be called a guess?” Ma Xiaolong said matter-of-factly.

Chen Guan chuckled: "You're going to sell me a ridiculous guess for ten thousand yuan?"

“That’s right.” Ma Xiaolong nodded.

"Okay, I'll buy it." Ten thousand yuan is not a small amount for ordinary people. Chen Guan wanted to hear what Ma Xiaolong had to say.

"I didn't bring that much cash with me. Just tell me your account number, and I'll transfer the money to you when I get out," Chen Guan said.

"Cash on delivery, no credit." Ma Xiaolong was adamant.

"Use this as payment." Chen Guan took out a secret technique core and tossed it to Ma Xiaolong.

Ma Xiaolong caught the secret technique core, examined its information, and estimated that it was indeed worth ten thousand. Only then did he speak and say, "My guess is that the glacial canyon that stretches for thirty thousand miles without end is not actually a canyon."

"Then what is it?" Chen Guan asked calmly.

"That was a burial pit, and the mysterious spirits inside, all of them were funerary objects," Ma Xiaolong said earnestly.

Chen Guan thought this was unreliable. He had never heard of anyone creating a huge glacial crater that stretched for 30,000 miles without end, and then having so many mysterious spirits buried with them.

Even if it were a burial pit, it should be a large square or round pit. What is the point of digging a pit that stretches for tens of thousands of miles?
"Since they are burial pits, who were they buried with?" Although Chen Guan thought this was a bit far-fetched, he had already spent the money, so he still had to ask.

"I don't know that, but I do know something else that's even more interesting." Ma Xiaolong then unleashed his signature move.

"You only gave me this little bit of information for 10,000 yuan, and now you want more money? You still say you have good character?" Chen Guan said expressionlessly.

“The price is clearly stated. Haven’t I told you the answer to the question you wanted to know?” Ma Xiaolong said seriously.

“I said a few words, but not many, so it was almost the same as not saying anything, and it was of little use,” Chen Guan said.

"Then I guarantee that the following message will definitely be useful to you. If you don't find it useful, you can get a full refund," Ma Xiaolong said with a smile.

"Okay." Chen Guan took out some items to offset 10,000 yuan. If this information was useless, he would make Ma Xiaolong return everything he had taken with interest.

If he dared not give it to him, Chen Guan would let him know who held the truth. "Those mysterious spirits frozen inside the ice cliffs, though their fate is unknown, each one has its own inheritance. You can bring your pet there; if your pet has a high bloodline compatibility with the mysterious spirit in the ice cliff, you can obtain its inheritance," Ma Xiaolong said.

"Is that so?" Chen Guan was slightly surprised. He had discovered so many Ice Cliff Spirits, but his own pets hadn't received any inheritance.

“However, obtaining the inheritance of the secret spirits within those ice cliffs is not an easy task. First, you must be strong enough to break through the ice cliffs,” Ma Xiaolong said.

"If I could break through the ice cliff, do you think I'd still be here listening to all this nonsense from you?" Chen Guan sneered.

"Then there's nothing I can do. If you can't break it, that's your problem. I've broken through the ice cliff before, allowing my pet to inherit its power." Ma Xiaolong proudly summoned a Mystic Pet.

The mysterious spirit pet was a ten-foot-tall, gray-bodied, white-tailed fox-shaped creature radiating extremely strong energy fluctuations.

Such a level of spiritual energy is estimated to be attainable only at levels fifty or sixty.

"This is my pet White Tail. It used to be just an ordinary little raccoon. Back then, it went with me to the Ice Sculpture Grand Canyon. I punched and shattered one of the ice cliffs, releasing the frozen spirits inside. Those spirits turned into particles and merged into my little raccoon's body, allowing it to evolve from an ordinary spirit into the peerless spirit it is now..." Ma Xiaolong said proudly.

Someone passing by sighed, "He got away with it again. Poor newbie."

Chen Guan then realized that Ma Xiaolong had been waiting for him there all along, not only making money off him but also showing off.

For ordinary people, a pet of unparalleled quality is already extremely rare, let alone the fact that Ma Xiaolong shattered the ice cliff, allowing his ordinary pet to be upgraded to unparalleled quality, which is indeed something to boast about.

"But how did Ma Xiaolong break through the ice cliff? If he could, there's no reason why others couldn't. The secret spirits within the ice cliff should have been eliminated long ago, so how could there still be so many left?" Chen Guan asked Ma Xiaolong, "The glaciers on those ice cliffs are indestructible, how did you break through them?"

“This brings me to my talent.” Ma Xiaolong became even more smug, saying with his nostrils flared, “My talent is called Descendant of the Dragon. I possess the bloodline of the dragon and can resonate with the secret spirit within the ice cliff, thus breaking through it. Do you have a similar talent? If so, you can break through the ice cliff like me and obtain the secret spirit’s inheritance within.”

"With your talent, you can only resonate with one of the Ice Cliff Mystic Spirits, right?" Chen Guan asked after thinking for a moment, without showing any emotional fluctuation because of Ma Xiaolong's boasting.

“Almost all mystic spirits can resonate with it.” Ma Xiaolong said proudly for a moment, then changed his tone and said, “However, once you choose an inheritance, you can no longer resonate with other mystic spirits; you can only choose one of them.”

"I see." Chen Guan nodded.

No one else has his talent; he simply has no choice. Ma Xiaolong did tell him the method, but it was as good as not telling him anything; it was still of little use.

Chen Guan thought differently. He thought to himself, "Ghost Eye is the Emperor-line Ghost Eye Python, which has the bloodline of the Dragon Emperor. It should also be considered a dragon species. Since Ma Xiaolong's Descendant of the Dragon is useful, there's no reason why Ghost Eye wouldn't be. I'll try it again later."

Before Ma Xiaolong could say anything more, Chen Guan turned and left. This guy was a complete jerk. Although he had obtained some useful information, most of it was just nonsense, and he was being used as a backdrop for Ma Xiaolong's show-offs. Let whoever wants to do this kind of rubbish do it. Chen Guan was definitely not going to put up with him anymore.

"I summoned the Ghost Eye before, but it didn't react. Could it be that the Dragon Emperor's bloodline isn't working properly?" With this question in mind, Chen Guan set off again for the Ice Sculpture Grand Canyon.

He hadn't gone far when he heard someone calling him from behind.

"Big brother, wait a minute, I'll go with you." Ma Xiaolong caught up on his white-tailed fox.
