Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 832 One Hundred Million Gold Souls for a Big Prize
Both Chen Ping and Nan Shuishui were extremely satisfied with the deal, having spent a huge sum of money to buy the sect's secret realm, which was theoretically completely useless to the Earth Dragon Gate.

It is true that this cold spring contains rich spiritual energy, but the only thing the Earth Dragon Gate can use it for is to simply take a cup and drink from it, which can have a slight nourishing effect on the Soul Master's body.

All the leaders of the Earth Dragon Gate throughout history knew that there was actually another cave beneath this cold spring. However, they had isolated it with mechanisms.

Inside that cave dwelling were many strange minerals. However, the temperature inside was too low. Even a titled Douluo-level expert among our ancestors could not stay there for long.

If Chen Ping can mine and maximize the use of this precious land, which will likely fall into the hands of the Sun Moon Empire soon, it would be a good thing in itself.

Furthermore, since Chen Ping repeatedly emphasized that the price he paid for the ice spring was indeed one hundred million gold soul coins, Nan Shuishui naturally couldn't hesitate and spilled everything she knew about the ice spring.

According to her, an ancestor once mined a small piece of ore from the Earth Dragon Gate. It contained a rich aura of ice.

The ore itself also exhibits metallic properties. Therefore, the ancestors have always believed that there is a mineral vein inside this cave, a mineral vein containing rare metals with ice attributes.

However, the ore was lost in the process of being passed down, leaving only this story behind.

At this point, Nan Shuishui looked at Chen Ping somewhat awkwardly. If this treasure land was given to Chen Ping for free and he couldn't find anything to mine, then he could only blame Chen Ping for being unlucky.

But given the high price Chen Ping is offering, if they can't find anything, Nan Shui Shui will have no face to accept the money.

Fortunately, Chen Ping wasn't worried about this at all; he knew what was going on.

After explaining the method for opening the cave to him in detail, Nan Shuishui said, "You can go down now. Qiuqiu and I will guard the outside for you."

"Don't push yourself. I once tried to enter the cave, and within seconds I felt like I was going to freeze. The temperature down there is so low that it's not something a human could withstand."

"Although I heard from Qiuqiu that you seem to have the ability to be immune to frost and fire, if you can't withstand it, it's better to just come up directly."

"it is good."

Chen Ping agreed.

After briefly adjusting his breathing, Chen Ping gestured to Nan Shuishui and her daughter Nan Qiuqiu again before floating up and descending into the well.

Upon entering the area, a chilling aura immediately swept over him; however, Chen Ping found the chill somewhat comforting.

After all, he was someone who had swum through the very bottom of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Even the extremely dense and pure elemental power near the remains of the two great dragon kings only made Chen Ping's bones crack and his whole body tremble from the cold, but it did not really harm Chen Ping.

The things at the bottom of this cold spring are good, but even if they are good, can they compare to the natural environment formed by the elemental power extracted from the bones of any dragon king?

The spring water is icy cold, at least below zero, but strangely, it doesn't freeze.

Upon entering the cold spring, Chen Ping clearly felt a chilling force of heaven and earth ripple in the water.

Although such ice-attribute elemental energy was nothing to him, the chill was very pure. No wonder Nan Shuishui said the spring water here could nourish the human body.

Of course, the nourishing effect of the spring water here can only be described as subtle and gradual. It's like stewing an old hen and insisting that all the nutrients are in the soup; it's true that there are purines in it, but it's hard to say how much of the nutrients actually dissolve into the soup.

The cold spring was very deep. Chen Ping circulated his soul power and sank downwards. The deeper he went, the lower the temperature became.

For an ordinary Soul Master, this would already be a high-level drain on their Soul Power. But for Chen Ping, it had no effect whatsoever.

The surrounding light gradually dimmed, but for Chen Ping, the darkness and cold that would affect Soul Masters of the same level were not a problem.

Although the ability of mental energy to spread in water is relatively weak, Chen Ping's mental energy is so powerful that apart from the expansion rate being slightly affected, there was not much consumption.

As his body sank downwards, his mental energy probed downwards even earlier.

Even the Earth Dragon Gate itself wasn't entirely clear about this secret realm, so of course they had to be careful to avoid any danger.

Nan Shuishui had previously told Chen Ping that the spring was about thirty meters deep, and even a Soul Douluo-level expert like herself would have some difficulty resisting it at the bottom. The cave was located about twenty-five to thirty meters below the surface of the cold spring.

However, in Chen Ping's mental perception, the spring water seemed to be more than thirty meters deep. After reaching the thirty-meter mark, there was a strong and obvious cold current rising up, and it felt like the bottom was below these cold currents.

As his mental energy continued to penetrate deeper, he discovered that it appeared to be a spring. The spring was large enough for one person to pass through, but Chen Ping could even sense its deep blue color during his mental probing, indicating its intense coldness.

Soon, he reached a depth of twenty-five meters.

His infiltration speed was much faster than that of the predecessors of the Earth Dragon Gate, after all, he didn't need to keep warm.

The cave walls around the cold spring were icy and slippery as Chen Ping descended, searching for the cave entrance.

The entrance to this cave is said to be naturally formed. It was not originally a well, but a natural spring. Later, after the Earth Dragon Gate occupied the area, they built a well specifically for it.

Following the instructions given by Nan Shuishui, Chen Ping searched for a while before finally finding the mechanism.

The door slowly opened, and Chen Pingxun stepped forward and crawled inside.

The spring outside was clearly cold, but there seemed to be a strange power within the gate that prevented even a drop of the cold spring from seeping in.

Even when Chen Ping crawled in, the cold spring water that had gotten on his body was completely filtered out by that strange power, and he instantly became dry.

Along with this dryness came an extremely intense chill.

Waves of cold air, carrying almost visible ice elements, impacted Chen Ping's body. Unfortunately, they could only remain on the surface of Chen Ping's skin, causing no harm whatsoever. Instead, they immediately activated the soul power within Chen Ping's body, which had already transformed into extreme ice.

The temperature here was so low that it was no less than the temperature of the ice spring water in the Yin-Yang Well, which made Chen Ping gasp in astonishment.

The sect leader of the Earth Dragon Gate back then was truly a ruthless person; he actually managed to carve out a piece of rare metal in such an environment.
