Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

On the way back to the manor, Qiao Jingjing and the others glanced at it and finally couldn't hold back any longer:

"What secrets does Ye Lingling's martial spirit hold?"

"Dugu Yan's demeanor just now clearly indicated that she was holding back her questions and didn't dare to ask them."

As soon as he finished speaking, several pairs of eyes turned to Lin Quan and Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing paused, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

Although she was born in the world of martial spirits, she used to live on thin ice in the Zhu family, where she could hardly even understand her own soul skills, let alone the obscure inheritance of a side branch.

The Nine Heart Begonia family has remained hidden behind the scenes for generations, with only two members remaining. They even stingy with sharing their family genealogy. How could she have heard a single word about it?

Seeing her bewildered expression, the women exchanged glances for a moment, then their gazes suddenly shifted and fell on Lin Quan.

Among this group of people, besides her, only Lin Quan has truly traversed the entire body of this world.

Facing those intense gazes, Lin Quan didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly:

"Dugu Yan's hesitant expression suggests she's worried about her best friend Ye Lingling..."

Lin Quan was straightforward and efficient. He quickly explained the whole story he had learned to the women in just a few words.

As soon as he finished speaking, a look of understanding appeared on everyone's faces.

"I never expected that such a rare martial spirit would be hidden in the world of martial spirits..."

"Is the Nine-Heart Begonia itself too mystical, or is it truly entangled by some hidden curse?"

"Dugu Yan probably wants to probe through Brother Quan to see if there's any way to reverse Ye Lingling's predicament regarding her martial soul..."

As everyone chatted animatedly, their footsteps quietly led them back to the gate of the manor where they were temporarily staying.

"To put it bluntly, the reason I helped that old poisoner and his granddaughter is still because of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

"We've had an incredible stroke of luck, and we owe this grandmother and grandson a debt of gratitude."

"By helping them resolve their problems, we have completely settled this karmic debt."

"As for Ye Lingling..."

At this point, Lin Quan silently shook his head slightly, and did not continue the conversation.

But in that instant, the women all understood—

Unless the timing and location are perfect, or a unique opportunity arises, Lin Quan would never act rashly.

"Rest well today, we'll set off tomorrow morning, heading straight for the far north to hunt down soul rings for Xue Ru and Han Yi."

"Let's take a side trip to the beach and catch a few sea spirit beasts to try!"

This is real seafood; even in the main world, Lin Quan has never touched a single bite.

Not to mention the sea spirit beast—its taste is incomparable to that of ordinary fish and shrimp.

Upon hearing this, the women exchanged smiles, their Adam's apples bobbing as they secretly swallowed.

Despite their slender figures and stunning looks, they had long since become true gourmets under the influence of Lin Quan.

The original, fresh flavor of the soul beast meat is so delicious that you'll never get tired of it and it's addictive the more you chew it!

No one made a fuss that night, and they slept soundly until dawn.

The next morning, after everyone had washed up, they quietly left Tiandou City and headed swiftly towards the far north.

Not long after leaving the city, Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan took to the air, their spiritual power lifting them up like threads, and they sped away on the wind.

It would take an ordinary Soul Master at least a full month to travel to this place;

With the two of them leading the way, the group arrived at the outermost edge of the far north in just three days.

Frozen Forest!

A vast forest of soul beasts, growing along the frigid veins of the far north, is said to be the threshold of the far north, but in reality, it is not even a corner of it.

Even so, the ancient spirit beasts lurking in the forest are as numerous as the frost on the branches of a cedar tree.

"This is the Frozen Forest."

"Most of the soul masters who come to hunt souls only dare to wander around in this forest."

"To truly venture into the heart of the far north, one must first cross this forest—only after that can one be considered to have entered a realm of pure ice and snow."

Before them lay a dense forest covered in silver, the air chilling like a knife. Before Lin Quan could speak, Zhu Zhuqing spoke first, her tone calm and steady as she began to tell her story.

Compared to the bustling and prosperous Star Dou Great Forest, the Soul Masters who dare to come to the Frozen Forest to make a living...

Nine times out of ten, they are tough opponents with both water and ice attributes.

After hearing the introduction, all the women turned their gazes to Lin Quan, their eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and anticipation:

"My lord, shall we explore the forest first, or venture directly into the depths of the far north?"

A biting north wind swirled with snowflakes and lashed at their faces, but fortunately everyone was prepared.

Furthermore, everyone now possesses solid cultivation, with even the weakest, Chen Xueru, reaching the peak of the Innate Realm.

Such extreme cold would be enough to freeze the bones and damage the soul of an ordinary soul master.

For them, it was just a slight stagnation—

With a circulation of true energy, warmth rose throughout his body, and the cold current was completely blocked before it even got three feet away.

Facing those intense gazes, Lin Quan waved his hand decisively without hesitation:

"Although ancient soul beasts roam the frozen forest,"

"But in terms of cultivation foundation, not to mention bloodline purity, it can't compare to the far north at all."

"Moreover, the soul rings that Xue Ru and Han Yi want must be at least 50,000 years old."

In this frozen forest, it's probably difficult to find even a soul beast that's over 50,000 years old...

Let's go, straight to the true heart of the far north!

Before he finished speaking, Lin Quan flicked his sleeves, leading the women into the air, cutting straight through the biting wind, and speeding towards the deepest part of the far north.

In the second half of the journey, he no longer allowed Qiao Jingjing and the other person to use their mental powers to explore the way.

The group simultaneously used the Lingbo Weibu technique to traverse the dense forest where frost and snow surged—both to steady their breathing and to get used to the rhythm of this extremely cold place.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just as they swept across the frozen forest like streaks of light, leaving a trail of afterimages behind them, a muffled, loud bang suddenly exploded in front of them!

Immediately afterwards, several figures with torn clothes and disheveled hair were desperately running towards this side.

"They're from Tianshui Academy..."

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes narrowed, and before she could finish speaking, she recognized the faint water ripple emblem on the school uniforms of those students.

Before anyone else could respond, she blurted it out.

It should be known that Tianshui Academy is a renowned top-tier institution of learning throughout the entire Martial Soul Continent!

For no other reason than that it's so special!

"My husband (Brother Quan)..."

Wang Yuyan and Chen Xueru watched the girls staggering and running away, their hearts tightening, and they both looked towards Lin Quan.

"To bump into each other in the frozen forest, and to happen to meet face to face, is fate."

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Before she finished speaking, Wang Yuyan flicked her fingertips, and the Frost Sword instantly leaped into her palm.

She pointed her fingers and drew a line, causing the sword light to burst forth—one sword became two, two became four, and in an instant, a hundred ice swords stood suspended in the air, their chilling aura penetrating to the bone!

In an instant, hundreds of white rays shot through the air like a waterfall!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ice sword descended from the sky, precisely embedding itself in the ground, forcefully erecting a barrier of cold light behind them—

The more than thirty ice wolves that came in pursuit were all pierced through the spine and fell down with a thud!

These ice wolves, even the weakest of which had a thousand years of cultivation, died on the spot before they could even let out a mournful cry.

Looking up, one sees wolf corpses lying everywhere, most of them shrouded in dark purple soul rings; and on three other bodies, thick, ink-black ten-thousand-year soul rings are clearly coiled!
