Douluo Continent: The Ice King's Resurrection

Chapter 81, Section 80: The Well and the Ice Spring

Combining his memories from his past life, Ling Bingtian suddenly realized the true identity of that well.

That place is probably the secret place where the Earth Dragon Gate has been passed down for many years, a place containing a large amount of Ice Extreme Divine Crystals and the famous Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.

Ling Bingtian knew about this secret place, but he wasn't in a hurry to absorb the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.

After all, given his current cultivation level, it's highly likely he won't be able to enter the cave containing the ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow.

Once inside, without a certain level of cultivation, it's not certain that you'll be able to absorb the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow effectively.

Therefore, Ling Bingtian did not initially intend to negotiate with the Earth Dragon Gate to take over this secret place at this time.

His idea was to wait until he or his grandfather encountered a cultivation bottleneck before trading this secret land with the Earth Dragon Gate.

But now, the situation is naturally very different.

The Divine Pearl actually reacted to the secret realm of the Earth Dragon Gate!

This forced Ling Bingtian to carefully consider the gains and losses.

As its deepest trump card, the Divine Pearl rarely exhibits any unusual behavior. The last time it appeared was when it absorbed the Ice God's divine power crystal, at which point it immediately showed signs of agitation.

So, if I could enter the secret realm and let the divine pearl absorb what it desires, would that...?

As he pondered this, a few imperceptible glints flashed in the depths of Ling Bingtian's eyes.

We have to do it!

However, how to do it is the question.

With the Ling family's strength, forcing the Earth Dragon Gate to relinquish this secret place is not impossible. However, doing so would disrupt their own composure and is not advisable.

Therefore, trading is the best option.

But what should we use for the transaction?

For a moment, Ling Bingtian couldn't think of anything good he could use to exchange for this secret place.

His original plan was to go to the secret place in Tiandou City, obtain the rare and precious materials inside, and then use them to trade with the Earth Dragon Gate.

But since Ling Yongsheng was unwilling to go, I wasn't absolutely certain I could benefit from it, so there was nothing I could do.

Since that's the case, Ling Bingtian felt it would be better to ask He Feng first, and then write a letter home to see what his family thought.

Without hesitation, Ling Bingtian interrupted He Feng's rambling introduction, perfectly feigning excitement. Pointing in the direction of the abandoned well, she asked He Feng, "What place is that?"

He Feng looked in the direction Ling Bingtian was pointing and saw the well hidden among the flowers.

He immediately laughed and replied to Ling Bingtian, "Young friend, you have sharp eyes. I didn't expect you to discover such a hidden place in our sect."

"This is a secret cultivation ground of our Earth Dragon Sect, which continuously produces a cold spring that is beneficial to cultivation. The spring contains rich spiritual energy. Drinking it over the years can have a good nourishing effect on the body of a Soul Master."

"Young friend, you were able to discover this, which must be thanks to your supreme ice martial soul, which is extremely rare, only appearing once in a thousand years."

After saying that, He Feng winked at Ling Bingtian twice and smiled, thinking he was being humorous.

Little did Ling Bingtian know that a feeling of greasiness welled up from the bottom of his heart, but in order to obtain what was in the well, Ling Bingtian had no choice but to praise He Feng against his conscience.

"You're right."

At the same time, Ling Bingtian was secretly impressed by the management level of the Earth Dragon Gate.

If He Feng truly knew what lay beneath the secret well, he certainly wouldn't have so easily revealed its existence to Ling Bingtian.

Since he revealed it so easily, it means that the secret beneath the well is probably only known to Nan Shuishui, the sect leader of the Earth Dragon Gate.

Moreover, it is estimated that it will only be passed on to the sect leader.

To be honest, Ling Bingtian really didn't know what was so good about this method. If one of the sect leaders were to die unexpectedly, this secret would only be discovered by future generations.

"May I have a look around?" Ling Bingtian asked He Feng, bathed in the fragrance of flowers.

"Of course you can." He Feng said with a smile as he led Ling Bingtian toward the well.

As she walked through the sea of ​​flowers, Xie Yuwei, feeling a sense of wonder, touched this and that, experiencing the beauty of flowers she had never seen before.

A short while later, He Feng led the group to the side of the abandoned well and beckoned a servant to come over.

He instructed his servants to draw water from the well, and then said to the group, "Why not try this cold spring water? It's even more effective for ice-attribute soul masters."

"Then I shall accept your offer." Ling Bingtian naturally did not refuse. After the servants brought up the water and distributed it, he took a cup of the cold spring water and drank it.

Even with Ling Bingtian's constitution, he could still feel the faint coolness emanating from this cup of cold spring water when he drank it.

Some of the cool spring water flowed into Ling Bingtian's mouth, quickly transforming into strands of pure energy that nourished his entire body's meridians.

Wang Dayu and Xie Yuwei, who were standing nearby, also received a cup of cold spring water, but Yuan Chao and Village Chief Xie could not drink it.

Yuan Chao's success is due to his martial spirit.

Although the Cold Spring has a weak effect, it is still an ice-attribute treasure. For Yuan Chao, who has a fire-attribute martial soul, consuming it rashly would only harm him.

As for Village Chief Xie, it was simply because he was just an ordinary old man, and drinking the icy spring water, a treasure with special properties, would only do him harm.

"What wonderful spring water." After drinking the cold spring water and feeling the energy absorbed by the Devouring Yuan within his body, Ling Bingtian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

The fact that the Earth Dragon Gate has lasted for thousands of years must be largely due to this well.

Anyone who isn't a fire-attribute dragon spirit master can cultivate using the cold spring water in this well; it's just a matter of efficiency.

Ling Bingtian guessed that it was because the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Marrow was suppressing the bottom of the well that the ice-attribute energy and spiritual energy it emitted gave birth to these spiritually rich cold springs.

If I were to take all of the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Marrow, this cold spring would probably slowly disappear.

"But so what?" Ling Bingtian thought indifferently. "Every man for himself. Besides, I'll find a way to appropriately compensate the Earth Dragon Gate."

"but……"

Ling Bingtian's words of praise immediately drew He Feng's attention.

"What my martial spirit senses is not just what's in this cold spring, but something deeper inside," Ling Bingtian said, handing the cup in his hand to a servant beside him and looking at He Feng.

"What? Isn't this the Cold Spring? But beneath the Cold Spring, there's only an underground waterway that leads to who-knows-where! And for some reason, the deeper you go, the lower the temperature gets. Even a Title Douluo would find it difficult to stay in there for long."

He was somewhat taken aback by Ling Bingtian's words. He hadn't expected that the feedback from Ling Bingtian's martial soul wouldn't be this cold spring, but something else. But there were only stones under the cold spring, so what else could there be?

"So, young friend, what are your thoughts?"

After a brief moment of surprise, He Feng realized that Ling Bingtian must have had his own reasons for saying that.

It would be better to wait for him to express his thoughts and then make a decision based on the situation.

Ling Bingtian didn't mince words and said directly, "If possible, I'd like to go down into the well to explore it."

"No." ×3

In an instant, three voices of opposition rang out simultaneously.

New author, new book! I'm begging for your collection votes, monthly tickets, and to keep reading!
