Douluo Continent: Sword Named Star, Slaying Gods to Prove the Dao

"By the way, do you know if there are any plants or medicinal herbs next to those Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Profound Ice Marrows?" Ning Xingchen asked.

Xue Di thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there are two places where some plants grow. I took one of them after it matured, and it directly increased my lifespan by 20,000 years. After that, I dared not take it again."

"Take me there, I need this," Ning Xingchen said.

"Okay, Brother Ning, come with me."

Ning Xingchen followed Xue Di and soon arrived at an extremely cold ice cave. There was a lot of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow here, as well as the Ice Wave Flower that Ning Xingchen had encountered before, but it had only grown to seven leaves and was not yet mature.

There were eleven pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow nearby. Ning Xingchen took the medicinal herbs, and Xue Di only took nine pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow and did not take them all.

As long as a portion of the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow is left behind, more will continue to condense in the future, which is equivalent to leaving behind a seed. However, this will take a very, very long time.

After all, the Snow Emperor ruled the far north for hundreds of thousands of years, and the accumulation of millennia-old Xuanbing Marrow must have been considerable.

Upon arriving at the second location, Ning Xingchen obtained the same medicinal herb, the Ice Orchid Flower, but this Ice Orchid Flower only had three leaves.

What surprised Ning Xingchen even more was that he also found a seedling of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, which was extremely rare, as even the Medicine God Valley did not have the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass.

Having found something good, Ning Xingchen naturally wanted to transplant it to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

The Snow Empress gathered her belongings, not only granting Ning Xingchen an ice-attribute immortal item, but also the extremely rare Ice Rain Fruit.

The Binglin wine that Ning Xingchen drank before was brewed mainly from Binglin fruit. A century-old Binglin wine can cost 100 gold soul coins per pot, and a pot of Binglin wine can only contain half a jin at most.

As for the Thousand-Year Ice Rain Wine that Ning Fengzhi gave him before, it costs over a thousand gold soul coins per pot, making it a true luxury item. Moreover, this thousand gold soul coins is just the price tag.

Every time it appears, it causes a frenzy among the nobles of Tiandou City, so even if you have a thousand gold soul coins, you simply can't buy it.

As for the Wannian Binglin Wine, it is not sold at all. It only appears at auctions in Tiandou City, and it may not sell more than a few bottles a year.

Each pot costs tens of thousands of gold soul coins, after all, this ten-thousand-year-old Ice Rain Wine can already help Soul King level Soul Masters cultivate, and even has a certain effect on Soul Emperors.

The Ice Rain Fruit that the Snow Emperor brought him to pick was ten thousand years old, and one Ice Rain Fruit tree was even ninety thousand years old.

This iceberry tree is a full ninety meters tall and grows in a canyon, with its trunk and branches covering almost the entire canyon.

The Ice Rain Fruits on top were countless, densely packed, each about the size of a fist, and icy blue in color.

"Brother Ning, this Ice Rain Tree has maintained its lifespan of 90,000 years so that I can eat its fruit. Brother Ning, let's pick some. It will improve after I leave," the Snow Emperor said in a low voice.

"The preservation method for Ice Rain Fruit is very simple. As long as it is placed next to Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, it will not rot and can be stored for a hundred years without any problem," said the Snow Emperor.

In fact, this ice-cold fruit was her main food source in the far north.

"Then I won't be polite." Ning Xingchen picked one, took a bite, and found it fresh, fragrant, and delicious with a moderate sweetness. She felt that there were no fruit residues when she chewed it.

This thing does have the effect of increasing soul power, but even a ten-thousand-year-old Ice Rain Fruit doesn't have a significant effect on Ning Xingchen.

After eating one, Ning Xingchen took out several large boxes and began picking.

To keep it fresh, Ning Xingchen also placed a fist-sized piece of Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Mystic Ice Marrow in each box.

They brought six large boxes, each containing about five hundred or ninety thousand-year-old Ice Rain Fruits, for a total of three thousand.

Despite picking so many, Ning Xingchen had only taken a small portion of the entire Ice Rain Tree, perhaps less than a quarter.

"Xue'er, why didn't you bring some?" Ning Xingchen looked at Xue Di with a puzzled expression.

Xue Di said, "I still have several hundred soul tools in my possession, which is enough."

She had long been tired of eating it over the years, and besides, if the Ice Rain Fruit wasn't picked, the energy it contained could be absorbed back by the Ice Rain Tree.

"Brother Ning, would you like to pick some more?" Xue Di asked Ning Xingchen. She didn't care whether she wanted some or not; what mattered was whether her master, Ning Xingchen, had enough.

Ning Xingchen smiled and said, "Xue'er, this is more than enough."

Since this Ice Rain Tree follows the Snow Emperor, he shouldn't pick too many. After all, three thousand Ice Rain Fruits are quite a lot, worth tens of millions of gold soul coins in total.

"By the way, have Binglin Tree check if it needs this." Ning Xingchen took out a bottle of Yin Spring water brought from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Having received the benefits, Ning Xingchen felt he should help the other party in return, but this was the only ice-attribute item he could offer.

The Snow Emperor communicated with the Ice Rain Tree, and a branch of the Ice Rain Tree reached out to sense it. After touching the Yin Spring Water, the entire Ice Rain Tree trembled.

After a while, Xue Di said, "Brother Ning, Bing Lan said this thing is useful to him. It... it asked Brother Ning if you have any more?"

After all, Ning Xingchen only took out a small bottle, less than half a pound.

“There are still some left.” Ning Xingchen took out all the Yin Spring Water from his soul tool, a total of thirty bottles, and placed them in front of him.

Xue Di said, "Bing Lin said you should pick as many fruits as you need."

You should know that the Ice Rain Fruit, which has been around for ten thousand years, is extremely rare. If you miss it today, you may never be able to get it again.

Since the Ice Rain Fruit Tree has spoken, Ning Xingchen will not stand on ceremony.

They took out several more boxes and picked another three thousand fruits together with Xue Di before stopping.

“Xue’er, tell it that I’ve had enough, and these are for it. If we come back again in the future, we can bring it some more,” Ning Xingchen said.

"Yes, thank you, Brother Ning," Xue Di said.

After communicating with the Ice Rain Fruit Tree for a while, the Ice Rain Fruit Tree emitted an icy blue halo, and the fruits began to dry up.

The Ice Rain Tree is absorbing the energy from the Ice Rain Fruit to nourish itself.

“Brother Ning, Binglin spent a lot of time on the result, otherwise it would have advanced to the 100,000-year level long ago,” said the Snow Emperor.

As they spoke, all the fruits of the Ice Rain Tree disappeared, and the tree began to grow taller, its age increasing.

In less than an hour, the age of the Ice Rain Fruit Tree, which was just over 90,000 years old, increased to more than 95,000 years.

Ning Xingchen placed the items on the ground, and Bing Linshu knew how to use them.

Before leaving, the Snow Emperor took out four more pieces of ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Marrow, which would allow the Ice Rain Tree to advance to the hundred-thousand-year level sooner.

After leaving the canyon, the Snow Emperor began handing over control of the far north for the next three days.

Her first thought was to let the Ice Emperor inherit the throne, but unfortunately, the Ice Emperor had already been hunted down and killed by Ning Xingchen.

Therefore, the Snow Empress had no choice but to settle for second best, allowing the Titan Snow Demon King to inherit the throne and relocating his Titan Snow Demon clan to the core area of ​​the far north.

After the handover was completed, Xue Di and Ning Xingchen left the far north together.

Although Xue Di always stayed by Ning Xingchen's side, her appearance was no different from that of a human, and it was difficult for ordinary soul masters to tell the difference. However, after Xue Di became the sword slave of the Star Sword, the power of the stars covered her body, which successfully helped her hide the aura of a soul beast.

Even with their high levels of cultivation, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo couldn't discern the Snow Empress's state, so even Ning Xingchen, in his current state, would find it difficult to see the Snow Empress's true identity.

Perhaps only God can determine this in this world.

"Xue'er, you should also have a human name since you're with me from now on. What name would you like?" Ning Xingchen asked.

"I want to be like Brother Ning, so please give me a name," said Xue Di.

"Alright, take my surname Ning. Since you were born of heaven and earth, then let's call you Ning Tianxue."

"Thank you, Brother Ning. I have a name now." Xue Di said happily. Ever since Ning Xingchen helped her overcome the Heavenly Tribulation, she has also begun to change, and is no longer just a sword slave.

During their conversation, the group arrived at the Soul Beast Forest, the outermost part of the far north.

Suddenly, a phoenix's cry attracted Ning Xingchen's attention.

Ning Xingchen immediately used his mental energy to probe the area and could clearly see a woman who looked to be in her early twenties hunting a three-hundred-year-old ice-attribute soul beast.

The woman's soul power was not high, only level 58, but her martial soul was very special, it was an ice phoenix.

Not far away was a handsome man who looked to be in his late twenties, and next to him was a beautiful little girl, about six years old.

"Could it be her?" Ning Xingchen had a guess. Could it be Shui Bing'er?

The Ice Phoenix Martial Soul is also an extremely rare Martial Soul, so it is highly likely that this is their family.

Previously, Ning Xingchen asked her older sister Ning Dingling to find Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er's family.

The first family they found was Feng Xiaotian's family, who had already joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

As for Huo Wu's family, they were found before Ning Xingchen and the others went to Seagod Island. Ning Dingling felt that Ning Xingchen valued them, so she personally went to recruit them and successfully brought them back to the sect.

Now all that's missing is Shui Bing'er's family. Could it be that they were originally from the north, near the far north? If so, it's normal that the sect hasn't found them yet.

"Xingchen, who is she?" Bone Douluo asked in confusion. He also used his spiritual power to probe her. She was just a six-year-old child looking for a spirit ring. There was no need for her to stay.

Ning Xingchen said, "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, we may be delayed for a while. This little girl may be qualified to become my disciple."

Shui Bing'er has a good personality, a good overall perspective, and a kind heart. Taking her as a disciple will completely bind her to the sect.

With the addition of the numerous ice-attribute treasures he has just acquired, Shui Bing'er is poised to become one of the sect's strongest fighters in the future, thanks to her nurturing.

"What! Xingchen, you want to take on disciples?" Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo looked at Ning Xingchen in surprise.

"What's so special about this little girl? Could it be that her martial soul is also an Ice Phoenix?" Sword Douluo observed curiously.

What is so special about the person that Ning Xingchen chose to take as his disciple?

Ning Xingchen said, "Uncle Jian, let's go take a look. She's not much worse than Feng Xiaotian in the sect. Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, when you go back this time, you can take Feng Xiaotian as your disciple."

"Is that the child who awakened innate soul power? I've already told his family that we'll take him as our disciple when we return to the sect," Bone Douluo said with a smug smile.

"Old bones, you're really fast," Sword Douluo said.

Bone Douluo laughed and said, "I was just making arrangements in advance. Besides, I think if you're going to take on disciples, you'll definitely want to take on one who specializes in swordsmanship."

"I suppose so," said Sword Douluo. For him, teaching swordsmanship was the only thing he had considered; he hadn't thought about other types of Soul Masters.

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, let's go take a look." Ning Xingchen slowly walked forward, with Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Snow Emperor following beside him.

As they walked, Ning Xingchen continued to observe with his spiritual power. At this moment, Shui Bing'er seemed somewhat hesitant to hunt soul beasts, or perhaps she felt a little reluctant, possibly due to her inner kindness.

Fortunately, with her parents' reminder, she managed to kill the three-hundred-year-old soul beast, and then a yellow soul ring lit up.

Just as Shui Bing'er sat down to absorb the nutrients, Ning Xingchen and the others appeared.

"Bing'er, wait a minute!"

The couple couldn't see through Ning Xingchen and his group of four, nor did they know if they were in danger, since there were quite a few evil soul masters on this continent.

But upon closer inspection, Ning Xingchen and his companions didn't seem like bad people.

"I am Shui Mufan, a level 52 Soul King. This is my wife, Bing Yufeng, a level 58 Soul King. We are currently hunting for our daughter's first Soul Ring. I wonder if you gentlemen have any business here?" Shui Mufan said.

Bing Yufeng stared at Ning Xingchen warily, and slowly leaned closer to Shui Bing'er.

Ning Xingchen said, "My name is Ning Xingchen, and I come from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I have already been granted a title. The two people next to me are Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, and this is my younger sister, Bing Tianxue."
