Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 236 Ready to Complete
After arriving in Dragon City, Lin Po and his companion ate, drank, and had fun along the way, making their way towards the Earth Dragon Gate at a leisurely pace.

Clearly, their target this time is the ice cave beneath the Earth Dragon Gate, or more precisely, the Ice Extreme Divine Crystals within it.

The Myriad-Year-Old Profound Ice Marrow is of little use to Lin Po right now; it's nothing more than a high-purity energy aggregate, and no matter how good it is, it can't compare to the fragrance of the Spirit Realm's Origin.

Furthermore, as long as it is not overused, the Spirit Realm Origin has the added advantage of being inexhaustible compared to the Mysterious Ice Marrow.

It seems that even the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress no longer value that ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Marrow, since they have the privilege of being the first to enjoy the origin of the spirit world.

However, there's no way to create the Ice Extreme Crystal. Without obtaining its information, the spirit world simply cannot create a metal exactly like it.

Otherwise, Lin Po wouldn't have traveled all that way to Dragon City just for that little bit of metal.

"finally reached."

Looking up at the three gilded characters 'Earth Dragon Gate', Lin Po suddenly felt an urge to cry.

I really don't know who cultivated Gu Yuena's shopping habit.

From the moment she entered Dragon City, she bought something from almost everyone, from large city auction houses to small street vendors.

The journey, which should have taken only twenty minutes, took them more than four hours.

If there weren't so few shops to visit, I'd probably still be wandering the streets right now.

Gu Yuena, on the other hand, was quite happy at this moment. She seemed oblivious to Lin Po's sorrow and did not respond to him. She simply continued to organize the dozen or so storage soul tools in her hands.

"Ugh"

Seeing this, Lin Po shook his head helplessly, canceled the simulated soul skill with a thought, and then stepped forward to knock on the gate of the Earth Dragon Gate.

The next moment, the vermilion gate slowly opened with a creaking sound, and two Soul Masters at the Soul Sect level walked out.

"These two guests, may I ask what brings you to Dilongmen?"

The two Earth Dragon Sect disciples' humble yet polite demeanor instantly won Lin Po's favor.

It also made him realize in his heart that his prejudice against Douluo Continent was too deep. He thought to himself, how could there be so many scenes of people pretending to be cool and getting slapped in the face? There are still normal people here!
Then, Lin Po responded in the same tone as a guest:

"Please help introduce me to the sect leader of the South Water Sect and give her this letter. She will understand."

After the words were spoken, the two disciples of the Earth Dragon Sect looked at each other, unsure whether they should accept the letter.

What if this is harmful to the sect leader?

Should we not answer? What if something really urgent happens? In the end, wouldn't all the responsibility fall on them?

Finally, the older disciple made the decision. He first signaled to the other disciple to wait there before accepting the envelope with both hands and walking through the gate.

"Please wait a moment, both of you."

Lin Po didn't have any strange thoughts about this. Putting himself in his shoes, he would probably do the same thing in this situation.

Before long, accompanied by a series of hurried footsteps, a still-attractive and beautiful woman was seen running quickly from the main hall toward the gate.

The newcomer was none other than Nan Shuishui, the current leader of the Earth Dragon Sect.

Come to think of it, she was the one who unintentionally helped Lin Po meet Zhang Lexuan.

Just as Lin Po was reminiscing about his wonderful experience visiting Dragon City last time, Nan Shuishui was sweating profusely, afraid that she might offend the ancestor at the door if she was a step too slow.

You can't be afraid, right? What kind of kind person would write a visiting card when they come to deliver a housewarming invitation?

'Master Nan, you don't want your millennia-old foundation to be destroyed like Shrek Academy, do you? --Lin Po, Body Sect'

This is pure threat!
As for the veracity of the content, would a mere Contra player like her dare to gamble?

Moreover, judging from the descriptions of the disciples, the leading youth is most likely Lin Po, the hero of the Body Sect who single-handedly orchestrated the destruction of Shrek Academy.

How could she possibly be a match for someone who could break Yan Shaozhe's leg with a mere flick of the wrist?

"Elder Lin, I am so sorry for not greeting you sooner! Nan Shui Shui is very polite."

Seeing Nan Shuishui's attitude, Lin Po felt no embarrassment whatsoever.

If he didn't write it this way, what would happen if Nan Shui Shui refused to see anyone? He didn't want to fight to the death over some trivial matter.

"You're too kind, Master Nan. I apologize for my intrusion in coming here."

Upon hearing this, Nan Shuishui's lips twitched involuntarily, and she thought to herself:

"You dare to be so presumptuous? I'm an old woman, you almost scared me to death!" "It's alright, Elder Lin, please come in. We can talk about this after you've rested a bit!"

After saying that, Nan Shuishui stepped aside and respectfully invited Lin Po inside.

"Then I shall accept your offer. Na'er, let's go inside."

"Okay, Brother Linpo."

Lin Po was the first to walk through the vermilion gate, with Gu Yuena following closely behind, her eyes only on him.

Seeing this, Nan Shuishui breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they could sit down and talk properly, and there was no need for violence, everything would be fine.

After giving the two gatekeepers an appreciative look, Nan Shuishui hurriedly caught up with Lin Po and his companion, personally leading the way for them.

After several rounds of tea, with Nan Shuishui feeling a mix of emotions, Lin Po finally steered the conversation back on track.

"Master of the Southern Gate, you must have guessed the purpose of my and my beloved's trip. I wonder if you would be willing to part with that cold well in your sect's forbidden area?"

The simple and clear words immediately relieved this seemingly weak woman, who was only at the Contra level. She was genuinely afraid that Lin Po would make some impossible requests.

She didn't even dare to think too much about how he knew there was a cold well in the forbidden area of ​​the Earth Dragon Gate.

It's just a cold well that they haven't been able to explore for so many years. How precious can it be compared to the sect's inheritance?

Even if we give it to Lin Po, what difference will it make? At most, he'll just feel heartbroken for a while.

While there is indeed a rule in the sect that the Cold Well must be properly guarded, if it is given away for the sake of the sect's continuation, then the sect leaders of each generation would not say anything against her in the afterlife.

"It's just a cold well that's useless to the Earth Dragon Gate. Why not give it to Elder Lin?"

"I wonder if Elder Lin plans to rest for the night and go to the Cold Well tomorrow, or go now?"

Seeing that Nan Shuishui was so sensible, Lin Po withdrew the aura that had filled the living room and said with a smile:
"Sure, sure, let's go now. The sooner we get it, the better."

"In that case, please follow me."

After speaking, Nan Shuishui slowly stood up and led Lin Po and Gu Yuena towards a secluded spot.

Although the sun was high in the sky and the weather was hot and humid outside, the temperature dropped the closer one got to the forbidden area.

By the time they reached the edge of the cold well, they were already breathing heavily.

Nan Shuishui, who was walking at the front, stopped by the cold well. She glanced at the cold well with a slightly complicated expression, and then looked away while suppressing her heartache.

"Elder Lin, this is the secret of my Earth Dragon Gate, and I will now give it to you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Po took out a token from the Heavenly Soul Empire and a letter without turning his head and handed them to her.

"Yes, thank you for your generous gift, Sect Master Nan. However, I am not a robber, and I will not take your sect's things for nothing."

"Take this token and letter, go to Heaven Dou City and find Princess Vina. She will give you a gift that you absolutely cannot refuse."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Po took Gu Yuena's hand and they jumped into the cold well together, completely ignoring the overjoyed Nan Shuishui beside them.

"The Earth Dragon Sect is about to rise under my leadership! No, that's not enough! We must strengthen our relationship with Elder Lin!"
The only question is how to strengthen Qiuqiu! Yes, Qiuqiu!

After a series of hurried self-talks, Nan Shuishui disregarded the Dragon City ban and flew away from the Cold Well to find her proud daughter.

. . .

As Lin Po and his companion ventured deeper into the well, the temperature inside grew increasingly cold.

Just as Lin Po was thinking of using the 'Emperor' to resist the cold, an inexplicable energy shield suddenly unfolded around Gu Yuena, instantly making him feel no cold.

"Na'er."

"What's wrong, Brother Lin Po?"

"It's okay, let's go."

And so, the two descended a further distance.

Finally, after passing through a stone gate about the size of a person, a deep blue cave that looked like a fairyland came into view.

"Got it!"
