Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 255 Companion Items
Lin Xiao didn't doubt Xue Di's words much; given her cultivation level, it was perfectly normal for her to say such things.

However, he slowed his pace slightly as he entered the simple courtyard.

The courtyard was very simple; it couldn't even be called a courtyard. There was only a simple room surrounded by a low ice wall.

The room blended seamlessly with the snow that formed the hills, crystal clear, somewhat like a secret realm that suddenly appeared in a deserted place.

It doesn't look like a human-built structure; it's as if a block of ice has been hollowed out. The whole house is a single, unified structure, clearly just as Xue Di said, something she made on a whim.

Pushing open the door, Lin Xiao paused slightly. Unlike what she saw outside, even though Xue Di was a soul beast, she had still decorated her own residence.

I don't know where she got the decorations from, but there was an ice table and ice chairs, decorated with snowflake-shaped patterns. There was a large ice bed next to it, and just by getting close, you could feel a chill coming from your face.

Although he hadn't seen it in person, just by sensing the aura emanating from it, Lin Xiao could guess that this ice bed was no ordinary object, and its quality was probably even superior to the ten-thousand-year-old ice bed in Haotian Fortress.

The spiritual energy within the room seemed to have become much denser, and a thin layer of icy mist permeated the entire room, adding a touch of haziness.

Upon seeing the familiar place, Xue Di remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh, "What you are looking for is right here."

Lin Xiao's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this.

As expected, seeing the state of the far north, the Snow Empress could not simply leave. Her request to be brought back to her residence was not merely out of nostalgia and a desire to see it one last time, but for other reasons as well.

Before deciding to tell Xue Di about the speculations about the Holy Emperor, Lin Xiao had already thought everything through and was prepared to help Xue Di.

The Snow Empress was originally an ice goddess, and her 700,000 years of cultivation gave her wisdom that rivaled that of humans.

Although she had not let go of her wariness and hatred towards humanity, she also knew that there was only one person who could help her at this moment.

Lin Xiao had already mentioned what she needed to give up when they first entered the far north.

After looking around, Lin Xiao didn't find anything special. Even the ice bed was only beneficial to ice-attribute soul masters, and it wasn't of much use to him.

"Can you see this icy mist in the room?"

Lin Xiao nodded slightly.

“These are not mist, but a kind of snow worm. They are born from my own blood and bones and are influenced by my aura to become what they are.”

"Although they look weak, they are my companions, and have been here for who knows how long."

"For you ice-attribute soul masters, it can bring your soul master's attributes closer to their ultimate potential. It is a rare and precious treasure that is hard to come by."

Xue Di paused slightly as she spoke, "They can't affect your martial soul attributes, but their physical effects will still meet your needs. At the very least, they're much more effective than that snow lotus."

Snowworm?

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and probed the mist with his spiritual power. Sure enough, this mist was not like ordinary mist, which is composed of water vapor or ice shards, but rather of a dense array of tiny particles.

Although it was described as an insect, upon closer inspection, it lacked any signs of life, yet it seemed to possess the vitality of a living organism, floating slowly as if it had a consciousness. Lin Xiao lowered her head slightly and glanced at the Soul-Binding Armor hanging at her waist.

If these things were truly born from the Snow Emperor's blood and bones, then these things that are like living beings but not living beings can, in a sense, be considered the Snow Emperor's body.

Some materials from soul beasts are indeed highly nourishing and can enhance the body. However, given Lin Xiao's current cultivation level and physical strength, even some thousand-year-old or ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are not very effective for him.

But if these materials came from the Snow Emperor who lived 700,000 years ago, then it would be a completely different story.

Despite the fact that Xue Di may not seem to excel in physical strength, her 700,000 years of cultivation are enough to surpass the vast majority of soul beasts.

"You want me to help you resolve the matter in the far north?" Lin Xiao understood; the Snow Empress had already offered her reward.

"How about this, in exchange for your help in eliminating those methods left in the far north?"

Lin Xiao gently raised his hand and reached into the thin mist. He immediately felt a cool sensation on the back of his hand, as if some tiny mosquito was biting him.

"I did think you would help me find what I needed, but I never imagined that what you brought out would actually originate from yourself."

"I only saw that snow lotus by chance. Do you really think there are so many rare and precious natural treasures in the far north? Besides, even if there were, how long do you think they could survive in the mouths of so many soul beasts?"

"In addition..." Xue Di added, "I know you are trying to improve your physical strength, but there are other ways besides using external objects."

"I think there is a concept among you humans about developing your own strength. The potential within your bodies is greater than it appears. To enhance your physical strength, besides external aids, you can also grow through constant training."

"You have already experienced the fierce winds of the far north, so you naturally understand what I am referring to. Even with my cultivation level, walking in the fierce winds of the far north every day, though unintentionally, has increased my physical strength as a result."

“I think this method will work for you as well. After this, I will take you to a suitable place based on your physical condition.”

"Hardship..."

Lin Xiao softly repeated Xue Di's words. Although Ilex in the Sea of ​​Spirit did not know the specifics of the conversation between Xue Di and Lin Xiao, he could roughly guess some of it from his muttering.

"If you want to use the strong winds here to hone your body, that's a good idea. With the Life Gold in your body, your efficiency will probably be several times higher than other Soul Masters."

Hearing Electrolux's words, Lin Xiao's gaze fell on Lan Hun once again. "Your suggestion is quite good, but it shouldn't be just to help me, right?"

"Even if using the gale to temper the body is indeed effective, it's not something that can be accomplished in a day or two. I'll inevitably be staying in the far north for a while, which will make it easier for me to help you, right?"

Xue Di did not respond, which can be regarded as an admission of Lin Xiao's statement.

The Snow Empress is still the same Snow Empress. Although Lin Xiao promised to take her to visit her territory and now wants to make a deal with Lin Xiao, their relationship seems to have improved a lot.

But in reality, she never let go of her hatred and vigilance towards humanity.
