Douluo Continent: The Ice King's Resurrection

Chapter 86, Section 85: Dan, Breakthrough

The distance was too great for Ling Bingtian to see clearly which character had been added to the divine pearl. So he "flew" directly to the side of the divine pearl and carefully examined the extra character.

Like the previous characters, this one was a new font that Ling Bingtian had never seen before, but he wasn't in a hurry. He already knew the pattern of the characters on the divine pearl.

Focusing intently on the newly appeared character, Ling Bingtian stared at it with complete concentration, and soon, the meaning of the character emerged in his mind.

Dan!

Before Ling Bingtian could feel joy, a familiar light shone out again, forcing him to close his eyes.

When he felt the light disappear, Ling Bingtian also felt that he was standing on solid ground.

'It seems similar to the study in the book,' Ling Bingtian thought to himself, and then opened his eyes while adjusting to the space.

As Ling Bingtian expected, what appeared before him was a room of about the same size as the study in the book.

Unlike the study, this room doesn't have many bookshelves; the overall layout is very simple.

The room was simply furnished with two cabinets, a set of tables and chairs, a book on the table, and a huge alchemy furnace.

Seeing these things, how could Ling Bingtian not understand the significance of the elixir above the divine pearl?

Almost instantly, Ling Bingtian's eyes flashed with excitement. He quickly stepped forward, picked up the book from the table, and began to read it.

"Splash—splash—"

The sound of turning pages filled the air, and Ling Bingtian grew increasingly excited, his eyes brimming with uncontrollable elation.

The book contains records about elixirs that are lacking throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

However, this book contains records of elixirs from the plane of the Halberd People. Ling Bingtian still has two problems to solve if he wants to refine the elixirs from it.

One issue is fire. From the book, Ling Bingtian learned that in order to refine good pills, it is best if the alchemist himself has both fire and wood attributes, with the fire attribute being dominant.

Unfortunately, neither Ling Bingtian's first martial soul nor his second martial soul, which he could not easily reveal, possessed the two attributes mentioned above.

The second problem is the medicinal herbs. However, this is easy to handle. With the Ling family's wealth, the clan naturally employs alchemists. Although most of them are considered useless by Ling Bingtian, there is one person who is worthy of Ling Bingtian's respect.

Ling Bingtian believed that the real alchemist was still capable of helping him select alternative medicinal herbs.

As for the problem of alchemy itself, Ling Bingtian was not so worried.

Because, after entering the alchemy room, the divine pearl transmitted information about the alchemy room to him.

One of the cabinets was filled with illusory medicinal herbs, herbs that the Halberd Man had obtained in his previous life. Ling Bingtian could use these herbs to conduct trials in the alchemy furnace in the room. The other cabinet was empty; Ling Bingtian would have to fill it with his own ingredients.

In other words, when Ling Bingtian obtains suitable medicinal herbs on the Douluo Continent, he can materialize these herbs in this empty cabinet and then conduct trials in this alchemy room.

This would essentially give Ling Bingtian countless opportunities to make mistakes!

It goes without saying how many medicinal herbs can be saved through this method.

Ling Bingtian was quite satisfied with the existence of the alchemy room, but he would definitely not attempt to refine pills rashly until he had mastered the fire control method recorded in the book.

Although the message also told me that even if the furnace exploded, as long as it didn't kill me directly, it wouldn't have any impact on me. Even if I did die, it would only mean losing some mental energy and experiencing the feeling of death.

However, Ling Bingtian had absolutely no desire to experience what it felt like to be blown up...

After gaining a general understanding of the contents of the alchemy room, Ling Bingtian controlled his mental energy, withdrew from the alchemy room, and returned his consciousness to his body.

When Ling Bingtian reopened his eyes, what he saw were three strands of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow that were still emitting white light.

'With my current cultivation level, I'm probably not qualified to use this. But if Grandpa could use it...' Ling Bingtian secretly pondered the uses of the last three Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.

At the same time, he didn't forget to make the most of the waste; he was definitely going to take these three pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow with him.

Lacking sufficient Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, this Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave could no longer be maintained. There was still some cold air inside that was constantly dissipating, which Ling Bingtian was unwilling to waste.

After using his own ice to completely extract the last three strands of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, throwing them into the Ice God's Small Dimension and sending a message, Ling Bingtian also began to sit cross-legged and absorb the constantly dissipating cold energy.

……

Outside the well, apart from Ling Yongsheng, who stood calmly to the side with his eyes closed, Nan Shuishui and Wang Dayu both showed obvious signs of anxiety.

Nearly two hours have passed since Ling Yongsheng surfaced. With Ling Bingtian's cultivation level as a Soul Master, and not being a water-attribute Soul Master, how could he stay underwater for so long?

If it weren't for the fact that Ling Yongsheng, who should have been the most anxious, still looked calm, the three of them would have already gone down to investigate.

However, at this moment, Ling Yongsheng also had some doubts in his heart.

Although Ling Yongsheng, as a staunch and devout believer in the Ice God, firmly believed that Ling Bingtian, as the successor of the Ice God, would be incapable of anything happening under the Ice God's protection, too much time had indeed passed!

"I hope nothing really has happened," the old man couldn't help but worry.

But his expression remained unchanged, a skill cultivated through years of military service—the ability to conceal one's emotions.

Time kept passing, and just as the two hours were about to expire, Nan Shuishui was about to ask Ling Yongsheng to go down and investigate again when a sound of water breaking suddenly came from the well.

The four of them immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure dripping cold water and emitting a chilling aura appear beside the well.

Who else could it be but Ling Bingtian?

Seeing that Ling Bingtian was safe and sound, Nan Shuishui breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if the Ling family has the best temper, if the chief heir were to have an accident in the secret area within the Earth Dragon Gate, Nan Shuishui doesn't believe the Ling family wouldn't retaliate against the Earth Dragon Gate.

Ling Yongsheng also opened his eyes and carefully examined Ling Bingtian, who had burst out of the water.

Ling Yongsheng couldn't believe that his precious grandson had grown taller again. How could his height have changed after going down and coming back up?

"Could it be?" Thinking of a certain possibility, Ling Yongsheng's eyes suddenly became excited.

He couldn't help but cast a probing gaze at Ling Bingtian, yearning to hear the answer from him.

Ling Bingtian didn't keep his grandfather waiting long. Meeting the different gazes of the four people, he grinned at his grandfather, revealing a set of pearly white teeth, and whispered, "Grandpa, I've broken through!"

The four were astonished by his words!

"What breakthrough?" Nan Shuishui could hardly believe her ears. She knew about Ling Bingtian's cultivation level.

Before going down into the well, his soul power cultivation had already reached an astonishing peak level of 39. If he were to break through again now, wouldn't that be...

Nan Shuishui was astonished to see the handsome, sunny-looking young man in front of her—the Soul Master!

A 11-year-old Soul Master!

May the Ling family be blessed...

Nan Shui Shui could only envy Ling Bing Tian's existence, since he didn't belong to the Earth Dragon Gate.

"However, is it possible to...?"

Thinking of certain possibilities, Nan Shuishui's smile towards Ling Bingtian became even more sincere.

"Well done."

Ling Yongsheng didn't say much, but just patted Ling Bingtian on the shoulder with a smile, indicating his encouragement.

But his hand, which was trembling involuntarily behind his back, betrayed his excited heart!

An eleven-year-old Soul Master means that Ling Bingtian's worst achievement in the future will definitely not be lower than his own, and there is a high probability that he will achieve that position!

If someone could see the emotions hidden deep within Ling Yongsheng's eyes, they would surely be able to discern the turbulent emotions within him.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." Now, Ling Bingtian no longer dares to leisurely travel with Wang Dayu to Shrek Academy to register.

According to Ling Bingtian's new plan, there is only one place he should go next!

Starry Sky Forest!
