Wu Shattered Star River

Over two more months passed, and Jiang Han refined over a dozen more drops of Profound Water Essence. His body's cold resistance further increased. The cold energy released from his Immortal Seal could no longer freeze him completely.

Of course, it still had some impact on his movements, slightly weakening his speed and reaction time.

This didn't matter much. As time passed, in a few more months, the cold energy would probably no longer affect him at all.

What excited Jiang Han was not only that his body could move, but he also discovered something else—after being frozen for so long and constantly enveloped in cold energy, his body seemed to have become more resilient, stronger, and its defense had increased several times over.

Jiang Han had been pondering how to break the cold energy, but he never expected that after being frozen for a while, it would naturally be resolved.

After enduring the cold energy for some time, his cold resistance automatically increased, and he could also refine the Profound Water Heart.

It was quite miraculous!

Jiang Han also confirmed one thing!

The reason the cold pool in Demon Moon Island was so cold was because of the Nine-Leaf Sacred Lotus. The formation of the Profound Water Heart was also likely due to the Nine-Leaf Sacred Lotus.

Because at this moment, within the Other Shore Space, many cold mists had formed. As the cold mists slowly accumulated, it was estimated that a second Profound Water Heart would form.

If Jiang Han injected some water into it at this moment, a cold pool would likely form very quickly…

Jiang Han stood up and moved around in the mine for a while, feeling that the cold energy had a negligible impact on his body.

A look of joy appeared on his face. Now he just had to wait for the year to be up, and then go to Blue Capital City to find an opportunity to meet the city lord. He would see if the city lord would give him face and help them解除战奴 (jiechu zhannu - remove war slave) status.

"So much time has passed, I wonder if the Great High Priest is still outside the city?"

Jiang Han pondered secretly, but considering that they couldn't leave the city now, he didn't think too much about it.

The most crucial issue now was to remove their war slave status and then find a way to find Ye Wanqiu. As for obtaining Divine Thunder Heart and Gale Heart, Jiang Han was not considering them for the time being.

After resting for half a day, he continued to refine the Profound Water Heart. He planned to refine half of the Profound Water Heart to further enhance his body, completely immunizing it to the effects of the cold energy.

"The cold energy on Master's body is getting heavier and heavier…"

Old Deng had been sitting next to Jiang Han to keep an eye on him. At this moment, he felt that Jiang Han was like a ten-thousand-year-old block of ice, constantly releasing cold energy.

After Jiang Han took out the Profound Water Essence, he quickly retreated to avoid being affected by its cold energy.

Time passed again for more than three months. Jiang Han continuously refined the Profound Water Essence, and now he refined it very quickly. In these three months, he refined hundreds of drops of Profound Water Essence, and his body's cold resistance continued to increase, as did his body's strength.

He now felt that the cold energy released by the Nine-Leaf Sacred Lotus had no impact on him, including his reaction speed and flying speed.

The only impact was that the cold energy would overflow, and the temperature of the space around him would drop significantly. If it came into contact with his body, ordinary low-level cultivators might be instantly frozen stiff…

Now, Red Hair, Golden Hair, and Yu Changqing were unwilling to get close to him. Although they wouldn't be frozen stiff, it was too cold to stay by his side, and it was always uncomfortable.

Jiang Han stopped cultivating. He had already refined half of the Profound Water Heart, and he planned to leave the remaining half for Ye Wanqiu.

He calculated the time and realized that it was almost a year. He only needed to wait seven or eight more days. When the time came, he planned to take the cultivators out together, take a stroll in the city, and meet the city lord of Blue Capital City.

The group of cultivators were all counting down the time. During this period, they desperately mined Cold Blood Crystals and had accumulated enough. If they handed it all in, it should be enough for more than two months' worth.

"Let's go!"

Eight days later, Jiang Han gathered all the cultivators, and the group marched out in a mighty procession.

Arriving at the entrance, the arrival of so many cultivators attracted the attention of the guards here.

Several Emperor-level cultivators walked out of the castle, staring at Jiang Han and the others with hostility.

Jiang Han told the cultivators to wait on the side, and he walked over with Old Deng, cupping his fist and saying, "We're here to hand in Cold Blood Crystals, and also… the year is up, we want to go out for a stroll, purchase some cultivation resources, and have some fun while we're at it!"

Old Deng handed over a spatial ring. An Emperor-level cultivator took it, glanced at it, and then entered the castle.

After waiting for a moment, a Heavenly Emperor walked out, scanned the group of cultivators, and said, "Not too many can go out at once. Only five can go out this time, and the rest will take turns, with five going out each month."

"Xu Ya, you take them out. If they don't understand the rules, teach them the rules. If they dare to mess around, directly explode their souls!"

Jiang Han frowned. Only five could go out? Were they afraid that too many of them going out would cause trouble?

However, he thought it over and realized it didn't matter. They weren't going out to cause trouble, they just wanted to find a way to pay a visit to the city lord.

If he could meet the city lord, it would be enough for him to go out alone, and he could bring them out later. If he couldn't meet the city lord, it would be the same even if they all went out.

Jiang Han thought for a moment and said, "Old Deng, Golden Hair, Red Hair, Yu Changqing, you come out with me. The rest of you continue mining."

"Alright!"

Hei Wu and the others retreated towards the mine with some disappointment. They had been here for a year, and originally thought they could go out and have some fun and breathe some fresh air.

But they didn't expect the Xu Clan to only allow five to go out at a time.

The Heavenly Emperor walked into the castle, and Xu Ya waved his hand and said, "You five come with me."

Xu Ya took Jiang Han and the five of them into the castle. There was a teleportation array in the castle, and Xu Ya took them into the teleportation array.

A flash of white light, Jiang Han they appeared in the palace that came in, this side Xu Clan second manager sat here to oversee and handle official business.

Xu Ya went up to report, and the second manager glanced at Jiang Han and the others and said, "Don't mess around, otherwise no one can save you!"

Jiang Han nodded slightly and said, "We don't want to die yet, we just want to take a stroll."

The second manager waved his hand and said, "Return within three days!"

Xu Ya took Jiang Han and the five of them out. Leaving the manor, Xu Ya asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Jiang Han naturally wouldn't say to go to the City Lord's Mansion. He said with a smile, "Let's take a stroll in the city first. If there's anything good to eat or fun to do, Brother Xu Ya can take us to play. Preferably a place with beauties. Hehe… Brother Xu Ya, don't worry, I'll pay for everything with Sacred Fire Stones. Just have fun."

"Beauties, ah…"

Xu Ya showed a knowing smile that all men would understand, and he whispered, "There's a Spring Breeze Pavilion in the east city, with top beauties from all races. But the prices are a bit expensive. It'll probably cost hundreds of Sacred Fire Stones for the six of us to eat, drink, and have fun!"

"Deal!"

Jiang Han was very generous, waving his hand and saying, "Let's take a stroll in the city first, and when it gets dark, we'll go to the Spring Breeze Pavilion. Brother Xu Ya, have fun, I'll arrange three or five for you tonight. Hundreds of Sacred Fire Stones, I'll pay!"

"Three or five… hehe!"

The smile on Xu Ya's face instantly became much richer, and he led Jiang Han and the others towards the east city.

While walking, he also introduced the situation of Blue Capital City, with a hint of diligence in his expression. Those who didn't know would think he was Jiang Han's underling.
