Chapter 18 – Treasure Under the Lake
Chapter 18 Treasure Under the Lake
“It’s true that different people have different rivers and lakes.”
Chen Fan was in White Stone City, and all he saw were gangs, and various jianghu forces, as well as the bright struggles between various jianghu clients.
This time, however, what Li Chaofeng showed was a different kind of Jianghu picture.
“However, this snake ……”
Chen Fan landed his gaze on the black scaled basilisk snake with its belly facing upwards in the distance.
This snake was too big.
Moreover, according to what Li Chaofeng had said, the blood and flesh of demonic beasts were extremely precious.
With his strength, if he brought this snake back to the city, he was afraid that it would be difficult to keep it.
But staying here, it was estimated that it wouldn’t take long for the snake’s flesh to rot and stink under the hot sun.
“Or transport some salt, apply it to this snake, and sun dry it into a snake?”
Chen Fan always felt that his idea was not very reliable.
“I make a wish to guide me to a currently doable method that can store this snake’s corpse for a long time.”
In the end, he decided to use up his small wish for the day.
[There is a cold spring under the Reflecting Moon Lake, bring the Black Scaled Xuan Snake to the vicinity of the cold spring, and it can remain incorruptible for decades].
Instantly, a message that appeared in Chen Fan’s mind.
Accompanying this message was a map.
“There is a cold spring under the Moon Reflecting Lake?”
Chen Fan’s eyes lit up.
He looked on the map in his mind and soon realized that the location where the cold spring was located was just a few hundred meters away.
“We have to get it as soon as possible, or else I guess it won’t take long for people to come here.”
Chen Fan looked at the color of the sky.
He then rowed the oars all the way to the small boat in front of the Black Scaled Xuan Snake.
“What a big snake!”
After approaching, Chen Fan’s heart chilled as he looked at the snake’s corpse that was close at hand.
Even though this demonic snake was already dead, it still emitted a strong fury that was frightening.
“Try!”
Chen Fan salvaged the tail of the Black Scaled Xuan Snake and tied it with the boat’s cable, so he rowed the boat with force, taking the snake’s corpse with him, and rowed towards the location where the cold spring was located under the lake.
The Black Scaled Xuan Snake was too big.
Even with his strength, he had been rowing the boat for more than ten minutes before bringing the Black Scaled Xuan Snake, to his destination.
Then, he thought about it and temporarily placed the Black Scaled Basilisk here.
Then he performed a light skill, came to the shore, moved a stone, and stuffed it into the Black Scaled Basilisk’s stomach.
It was only after he had stuffed more than two dozen stones into the Black Scaled Xuan Snake’s stomach that the Black Scaled Xuan Snake couldn’t hold on any longer and slowly sank into the lake water.
“It’s done!”
Seeing this scene, Chen Fan’s expression was joyful.
He then leapt out in a single bound, holding his breath as he followed the Black Scaled Xuan Snake and dived towards the bottom of the lake.
“So cold!”
Chen Fan was protected by his inner qi, but even so, as he got closer and closer to the bottom of the lake, he still felt a chill in his body.
“Is this the Cold Spring?”
Chen Fan dived all the way down.
When he had been diving downwards for more than thirty meters, he abruptly saw a spring tumbling at a cold white rock under the lake.
Chen Fan pulled the snake corpse with one hand and slowly sank down.
Soon, he came to the bottom of the lake.
“This Black Scaled Xuan Snake, the place where it lived before, could it be that this is the place ……” After arriving at the bottom of the lake, Chen Fan swept his eyes and found several huge snake scales near this cold spring.
“This is ……”
Suddenly, Chen Fan’s gaze was attracted by a piece of black ore not far from the cold spring.
This piece of ore, which looked smooth and reflective, did not feel like a stone, but like a piece of foreign iron.
Chen Fan adjusted his breathing and used his inner qi to change his buoyancy, walked over from the bottom of the lake and picked up the black ore.
However, as soon as the ore was in his hand, he felt a sense of heaviness.
One should know that he was in the water at this time. To be able to feel this heaviness in the water, the weight of this ore could be imagined.
“When we go back with it, let’s see if we can find a blacksmith store and create a heavy sword.”
Chen Fan’s mind moved slightly.
All along, he had felt that the sword he had bought was a bit light to use.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, just as Chen Fan put down the ore in his hand and took two more steps towards the cold spring, he was startled and felt a slight change in the operation of his internal qi in his dantian in this icy cold environment.
Thinking about it, he tried as he did, and took two more steps towards the cold spring.
“Something’s not quite right here, it seems that the closer I get to the cold spring, the slower the operation of my internal qi will be, but at the same time, the internal qi in my dantian will become even more pure after operating for a week.”
Chen Fan’s eyes were filled with a brilliant light.
A martial artist’s cultivation from the Qi Condensation Realm to the Houtian Realm was mainly to purify the internal qi within his body.
When a martial artist’s internal qi was purified to a certain level, it would be transformed into true qi.
In other words, he would be able to break through to the Houtian Realm in a shorter period of time if he cultivated here.
“Right now, there are still three years until the next Blood Abyss Secret Realm opens.”
“If I can’t enter the Blood Abyss Mysterious Realm and obtain enough blood crystals in these three years, when I enter next time and then come out of the Blood Abyss Mysterious Realm, it will be eight years later!”
“After eight years, I’ll be over forty years old!”
Chen Fan felt the coldness that seeped into his bone marrow, but his gaze grew hotter and hotter.
Cultivating here was undoubtedly something that tested the will.
But likewise, it would also allow him to cultivate faster.
“Dry up!”
He gritted his teeth.
“Wow!”
Chen Fan then pointed his toes at the bottom of the lake and instantly rushed upwards.
As if it was an arrow off the string, he rushed out of the lake.
“First, I’ll go back to White Stone City to see if I got the Iron Body Technique from Old Lu, and after that, I’ll come back here to cultivate.”
Chen Fan landed on the wooden boat with both feet.
He then memorized the location and paddled the oars, rowing back.
“Whew!”
As he paddled, he vaporized the clothes on his body with his inner breath.
It was only a short while before his soaked clothes, became dry again.
“Old man, watch this boat for a few days for me.”
After returning to the shore, the sky was already bright, Chen Fan found the boatman he bought the boat from two days ago and threw him some coins.
Then he went to the place where he had deposited his horse and found his red jujube horse, so he rode towards White Stone City.
“Search for me!”
“She’s a Qi Moving Realm martial artist, and with her injuries, she definitely can’t run far!”
Suddenly, just as Chen Fan was approaching White Stone City, a few martial artists with a bloody blade embroidered on their sleeve robes appeared in his line of sight.
The one at the head of them, which he recognized at a glance, was none other than Qi Qiang, who had betrayed the Purple Extreme Martial Hall earlier.
“Blood Sword Martial Hall ……”
Seeing Qi Qiang and the others, Chen Fan raised his eyebrows.
However, following that, he yanked his horse to the side and got out of the way.
Then he knocked his feet against the horse’s belly, and he was ready to cross paths with the few people.
“Chen Fan?”
Just as soon as he got out of the way, Qi Qiang recognized him.
Seeing Chen Fan, Qi Qiang’s eyes immediately lit up.
“Wait!”
“Senior brother you came from the front, I wonder if you have seen He Yun?”
