Chapter 1729: Chapter 1729 Absorbing the Ice Spring
The Ice Spring had always been the important cultivation base of the Mystic Ice Palace. Only a few exceptional disciples were allowed to cultivate there.
There resided a spring, constantly emitting frigid air. The air was sealed by the Mystic Ice Palace using a Formation, preventing any leakages, causing the Formation to freeze over all year round, with extremely low temperatures.
At this moment, two outstanding disciples of the Mystic Ice Palace were absorbing the frigid air next to the Ice Spring.
Ye Liuyun pretended to cough, interrupting the two disciples’ cultivation.
“Great Supervisor!” Upon seeing Ye Liuyun, the two disciples quickly rose to their feet, greeting him respectfully.
“Hmm,” Ye Liuyun nodded and said to the two disciples, “The Mystic Ice Palace will attack the Black Tiger Gang in three days. As excellent disciples of the palace, go prepare as soon as possible, and strive to merit commendation!
After returning, you guys will be given three extra days to cultivate here.”
Upon hearing about the additional time to cultivate at the Ice Spring, the two disciples naturally didn’t raise any objections. They expressed their gratitude and hurriedly left the scene.
Ye Liuyun sensed the Power of Ice here, thinking that it was far less powerful than the Crystalberg. He suspected three days would be enough for them to absorb it.
Then he instructed the two disciples, “Also, both of you go and notify the elders in charge, I will be in retreat and training here for the next three days to prepare for the battle. Tell them to avoid disturbing me for no reason.”
“Understood!” The two disciples replied in unison and left the Ice Spring.
Ye Liuyun resealed the Formation of the Ice Spring, locked it from the inside, and then finally revealed his true appearance.
The consumption was huge not only when he mimicked Xiao Bingxin’s breath but also his appearance.
Soon after, he released his clone, Man Shu, and Lei Ming, then studied how to absorb the Power of Ice together.
After sensing the Power of Ice here, Man Shu suggested to Ye Liuyun, “This Ice Spring does not have consciousness like humans. You can use the Crystalberg to absorb all of its Power of Ice, saving it for future use. In these three days, the amount we can absorb is as much as it is.”
Ye Liuyun also agreed with this plan, immediately opened up the Spatial World, allowing Crystalberg to absorb to its full extent.
Crystalberg quickly absorbed the Power of Ice that entered its Spatial World and Ye Liuyun’s Spatial World did not feel any drop in temperature.
Then they all returned to the Xuankong stone, utilizing it to speed up the absorption of the Power of Ice. Dragon Lady, Ye Tiandao, and Black Panther temporarily yielded the Xuankong stone and reverted to their original world, relying on the consumption of pills to enhance their strength.
They were all incessantly consuming these pills, recklessly depleting the resources at hand.
The speed at which Crystalberg absorbed energy was much faster than any of them, to the point where even hundreds of martial practitioners cultivating simultaneously would not be able to keep up. The stronger the Power of Ice, the faster Crystalberg absorbed it.
Before three days had passed, the Ice Spring had stopped spouting frosty air.
Looking at the ample time left, Man Shu initially intended to control Crystalberg to stop absorbing, aiming for the others to absorb more. However, Ye Liuyun stopped her.
He wanted to see what exactly lay beneath the Ice Spring that it could produce such freezing air.
Hence, Crystalberg continued absorbing the Power of Ice until all the cold ice had melted away within the Formation and stopped when nothing was left to absorb.
"I’ll go down and take a look, cover me!" Ye Liuyun was the first to rush out from the Xuankong stone, directly darting into the hole that had been spewing frosty air.
The Ice Spring’s hollow was not broad and could only accommodate at most two individuals at a time.
From afar, Ye Liuyun’s Golden Phantom Eyes spotted the presence of something like the shining Alora Crystal at the bottom of the Ice Spring.
"So, this little thing is the reason behind the existence of the Ice Spring!”
Ye Liuyun got to the bottom, carefully observing over a dozen of those Alora Crystal.
Each Alora Crystal was the size of a fist, clear and transparent. Upon even the slight touch of light, they would reflect a riot of dazzling colors.
The Power of Ice radiating from within was truly terrifying. After merely a moment of refraining from absorbing, the bottom of the Ice Spring started to cool down again, showing signs of freezing.
Ye Liuyun dared not linger, promptly moved these Alora Crystal into his Spatial World, then quickly returned to the surface.
His clone and the others also ran into the Spatial World, transporting these Alora Crystal to the Crystalberg.
"What are these things? Why are they emitting such strong Power of Ice? This is the first time I’ve seen something like this!" Even Man Shu did not recognize this.
"From the material, they are definitely not something like Xuan Ice, they are indeed Alora Crystal!" After several observations with his Golden Phantom Eyes, Ye Liuyun could only conclude these were Alora Crystal.
"Who cares what these are, as long as they can enhance our powers, that’s good enough!" Lei Ming said.
"Lei Ming is right, we don’t have time to study it now, everyone should try to absorb it first! I’m off to the Mystic Ice Palace’s treasure vault!"
Ye Liuyun instructed each of them to take one of these Alora Crystal back to their cultivation spot in the Xuankong Stone. He then restored Xiao Bingxin’s aura and appearance, came out of the Formation, sealed it again, and immediately rushed to the treasure vault of the Mystic Ice Palace.
However, some of the elders of the Mystic Ice Palace saw Ye Liuyun come out and immediately surrounded him.
Attacking the Black Tiger Gang was a major matter. But they did not receive any plans or notifications from Ye Liuyun, only told to prepare for battle, which left them anxious.
Seeing so many people seeking him, Ye Liuyun knew he could not finish in a short period and he couldn’t hold on that long.
So he took the initiative, rebuking these elders.
"What is there to panic about? Look at you! Do you resemble elders at all? We’re only attacking the Black Tiger Gang, they are little more than a thousand men! When did the Mystic Ice Palace become so incompetent?
I think you guys have been complacent for too long, losing all your vigor! With elders like you, how can you expect to produce decent disciples?"
After this outburst from Ye Liuyun, these elders were truly shaken. freёwebnovel.com
Subsequently, Ye Liuyun faintly addressed the elders, "Everyone go back and prepare. We will set out tomorrow morning in full strength. For those who are lack of resources, find a way to overcome your problem.
Can’t we fight without resources? If the Black Tiger Gang were to attack Mystic Ice Palace, would you panic like this?
The steward with knowledge about the Black Tiger Gang, come to my place to discuss the plan of attack an hour later."
With a stern face, Ye Liuyun finished speaking, flicked his sleeve and hurried off directly to the treasury of the Mystic Ice Palace.
The numerous elders were originally unsure, but Ye Liuyun’s scolding and evident confidence seemed to stir their blood.
"The Grand Steward is right, we’re merely eradicating a gang of bandits! We just haven’t had the blood warfare for too long, we have lost our fighting spirit!"
"Yes! This time is not only an opportunity to train the disciples but also a good opportunity for the Ice Palace as a whole to increase the sense of crisis. Does lack of resources mean we lose our fighting power?"
"That’s right, the Grand Steward would definitely have plans. We need not worry aimlessly! At the time, we just need to follow the plan and fight hard against the enemies..."
After some sighing and discussing, these elders all turned around and left.
